What Really Matters As We Vote

The Ornery American ^ | 10/29/08 | Orson Scott Card

[Jack Bull]

Sometimes it seems like this election is one big pillow fight. The air is now so full of floating feathers that it's hard to see the furniture, and the media isn't helping, as they blow the fluff around.

But there are solid issues in this election, and how we vote will have lasting effect on our future.

[Jack Bull]

From a card-carrying Democrat!

[SuziQ]

If McCain wins, let it be by a majority of the popular vote, and not just of the electoral.

It is my firm belief, all national polls notwithstanding, that he'll win BOTH.

        Pinging 2 ping lists

Nailed It! This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for the perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author all 100% to feel the need to share an article.) I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of the good stuff that is worthy of attention. You can see the list of articles I pinged to lately  on  my page. You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about). Besides this one, I keep 2 separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson and Orson Scott Card.

Tolik, a copy of Prairie Fire - Ayers book - was found by a group called “Zowie” or something like that - people who have downloaded it have said that the book is dedicated to Sirhan Sirhan - the man who killed Robert Kennedy. Do you have any idea why the MSM wouldn’t cover this?

Might re-ping to the mentioned Bill Wittle article.

Shame, Cubed
Three separate reasons to be appalled, each more disgusting than the last.

“THE THIRD CIRCLE OF SHAME
This discovery will hurt Obama much more than Joe the Plumber.

What will be left of my friend, and my friend’s family, I wonder, when the press is finished with them?”

~~~~~~

WHAT does THIS mean???? Do you know???

[IGOTMINE]

Not bad for a gun grabbing democrat.

[GOPJ]

Without ensuring safety for America and its allies, nothing else a president does matters at all. And on this subject, Obama has promised us that his regime will be even more disastrous than Clinton's was.

He's right.

-

- Ayers' book "Prairie Fire" was dedicated to the assassin Sirhan Sirhan - killer of Robert Kennedy?

Bump TFTP!

“Do you have any idea why the MSM wouldn’t cover this?”

I understand it was a rhetorical question, but I’ll answer anyway. The left believes that their vision of the world and America is so superior to the Right’s, that in their return/consolidation to power the goal justifies the means. The media is the Left cheerleaders. It matters not when thugs playing on your team hurt and injure the opposing team. I love sports, and I never happy when other players hurt, even if it helps my team, but enough people are. Politics became a cheerleading sport of blind allegiance to “your team” (maybe it always was, but only amplified now). I detest when our side does it, but we are no match for theirs, hands down.

It means that the press and 0bama goons will go after the supplier of this audio, just as they did Joe the Plumber.

Whoever supplied this audio tape, if identified, will have their privacy invaded, their taxes checked, a criminal records check, personal relations invaded, all with the assistance of some 0bama-friendly government worker, as was done to Joe the Plumber.
