What I'm waiting for with baited breath is the "last-minute" (e.g., around mid-October) interjection of Romney's religion into this race by 0Bama's campaign strategists, super-PACs, and their collective enablers in the MSM.
There is NO WAY that 0Bama and his minions could ever fail to bring up certain scriptural passages of the Book of Mormon which can be read as describing the Black race as "sub-human." A class- and race-divider like 0Bama WILL NOT FAIL to exploit this "opportunity," and as close to the actual election date as possible for maximum effectiveness.
I'm bracing myself for this.
0Bama knows no depth to which he is not willing to sink in order to win re-election. Hey, this is "the Chicago Way"....
Well, my prediction of what's coming, FWIW.
GREAT to hear from you, Deb thanks so much for writing!
I suspect that most American atheists are Democrat.
Betty, there have been news reports already this week suggesting the same, that Obama is mulling over such ads from the PACs supportive of him, discussing with his campaign how to respond to it when they come...as if though he has nothing to do with it.
Well...that’s fine. His:
Black Liberation Theology
http://www.jeffhead.com/blacklibtheology.htm
is far far more openly racist and hateful than anything they might dig up. I believe the Romney campaign is prepared to fight. I believe thus far that they have showed far more willingness to do so that Mccain ever thought about doing and thus far have had, apparently waiting in the wings, ready made ads to counter the left, that come out within a day...sometimes within hours...or Obama’s attacks.
So they are thinking about it and preparing and there is no way they have not contemplated and prepared as best as possible for this eventuality too.
In the end, God is in His Heaven, and He and His Son reign Supreme and know every bit of this...heart and soul, of both man and politics...and their judegement and their mighty Arm cannot be restrained and will reign Supreme in these matters.
It is up to us, as it says in II Chron 7:14, those who are His people, to turn to Him, humble ourselves, repent and call on Him...and then He promises that He will save our land.
I have great faith in that, and believe if we do all in our power to fight this...and to humble ourselves before God in Heaven and seek His aid, and if there are sufficient of us who do those things, realizing where the ultimate salvation must come from, then there is no power on earth that can withstand His will in these matters and He can prepare a way through whatever attacks and mischief the likes of Obama may have planned, and whatever they set in motion.
The Coming Turnaround in 2012

Jim, this is what this Kenyan Marxist is inflicting on our entire nation...among many, many other things.
We must be rid of him and his entire administration and all of his abbettors in the House and Senate this fall.
ROUTE THE VIPERS OUT!
Obama’s Horrific “Firsts” as President
http://www.jeffhead.com/obama1sts.htm
OUTSTANDING essay/post, dear Jeff! Thank you so very much!
WRT the above italics, just two observations. (1) Economic "progressives" can't even define what "fairness" IS; for they absolutely reject the notion that there is any objective standard of moral truth. "Fairness" is just a mindless incantation they use while they keep on moving the goalpost of "fairness." (I.e., fairness is "what 'I' say it is," not something based on any objective standard, nor on the facts of human nature. This is an exercise in pure solipsism.)
(2) WRT the economy, 0Bamaniacs come in two basic kinds: those who do not have a CLUE about what capitalism is and how it functions; and those who DO know these things, but detest capitalism because it is ineluctibly premised on human liberty and they detest human liberty as inimical to the implementation of their statist, tyrannical plans.
In recent times it has become fashionable to conceive of the national economy as a zero-sum game: An existing "pie," if you will, that never grows in size, so it has to be shared out to all comers "fairly." In practice, this means that no sharer can take more than his "fair share" of the pie except he does so at the "expense" of all the other sharers. That is to say, the "rich" can only get "richer" by making the "poor," "poorer." We need gummint to prevent this from happening!!!
Which, of course, is perfectly MINDLESS. A capitalist economy is not a static, fixed zero-sum game: It is a dynamic, superbly creative system based on risk/reward as assessed by free human beings, which alone of all other economic systems that have been tried, brings new ideas, new information, new products, and new wealth (new capital that didn't exist before, but which is now available for reinvestment) into existence. It doesn't just make an existing pie bigger it is constantly making new "pies." (So to speak....)
The capitalist economy
...is not a closed system [i.e., a zero-sum game] like Newton's universe or Keynes' "macro-economy." It is forever growing and changing, and is biological rather than mechanistic in nature. Peter DruckerBut if it is NOT "mechanistic" in nature, then it cannot be managed by scientistic "technocrats" who see only exploitable mechanism all around them. The technocrats delude themselves, and misrepresent the meaning and essentially moral character of capitalism in order to destroy it. But
The capitalist achievement does not typically consist in providing more silk stockings for queens but in bringing them within the reach of factory girls in return for steadily decreasing amounts of effort. Joseph SchumpeterAnd that's just a fancy way of saying that "a rising tide lifts all boats," as Ronald Reagan put it.
Of course, progressive economists make their zero-sum arguments because they want to frighten people into believing that capitalism is "unfair" which is the prime justification for levying even more taxes on the "rich," who have "unfairly profited" from the system. [Which happens to be the best tactic to ensure that the economy and jobs production will never grow.]
On that score, a final word from Joseph Schumpeter:
The spirit of a people, its cultural level, its social structure, the deeds its policy may prepare [are] written in its fiscal history.... He who knows how to listen to its message here discerns the thunder of world history more clearly than anywhere else.The dirty little secret which to the discerning really is not so secret of the 0Bama administration is that it does not want America to flourish and prosper at all. It wants to "cut America down to size, " to punish it for its past success.
I dunno. I hate to think it, but in gloomier moments, I feel that the next election will be a referendum on the stupidity, cupidity, and sheer cluelessness of the American people....
Thanks again, dear Jeff Head, for your outstanding analysis!
Great thread! Thanks!
Can you give us the raw numbers on Private and then Public sector jobs? Thanks.
Exactly, dear sister in Christ! And whenever he fails to achieve his stated goals, he blames someone else for it every time. (He's really not responsible for the accelerating disorder of our society, you see: Bush did it!)
Indeed, this is the "secret of 0Bama's success," and why I call him a Black Magician.
0Bama's "rhetoric" is designed to conceal what he is actually up to. Just like a magician, who uses techniques of misdirection to divert attention from the actual "trick" being performed, so that you are spending all your time looking at his right hand, so as never to see all the mischief that his left hand is doing.
"Watch the birdie!!!" over here, and you will never see what of the magician's intent is actually going on. The success of the trick DEPENDS on this sort of misdirection of attention.
He conceals himself behind his WORDS, while his actual DEEDS go largely unnoticed by an audience which wants to be persuaded by the magician, which wants his "tricks" to work, and aren't all that curious about the actual details of the performance. They have a willingness to "suspend disbelief" when it comes to this guy.
The Left has a habit of always blaming the other guy for what they are themselves doing. In this way they hope to "innoculate" themselves against all just criticism.
I wonder: How much longer will the American people allow themselves to be routinely deceived like this?
We may get our answer, on November 6th.
Dear joanie, thank you ever so much for your (as usual) eloquent voice in these matters.
Betty, thanbk you so much as always for your relevent, and very thoughtful and insighful posts.
Another “dirty little secret,” which is staggering in its implications, uis that Obama, Shumer, Frank, Dodd, et all, with a will, on purpose, engineered and caused the financial crisis of 2008 with the express purpose of getting a democrat progressive in the White House to “fix” what they themselves caused...and they have been “fixing” it ever since.
Barack Obama tied Directly to the 2008 Financial Crisi

Other faiths, including Judaism and Islam, were spared because the billboards are designed to attack GOP nominee Mitt Romney, a Mormon, and President Obama, a Christian, according to AAI. They will remain up for a month, and cost Silverman's group $15,000.
HOGWASH! If Silverman is working so hard to "separate" politics and religion, then why is his organization working so hard, and spending hard money, to "combine" them in the public mind?
Plus it's doubly hogwash, because 0Bama is no Christian. If AAI hasn't figured that out yet, then truly, they are clueless morons. Either that, or they are willfully spreading disinformation that can only "help" 0Bama....
Their animus is ALWAYS directed at Christianity certainly not Islam, or even Judaism. They wouldn't bother themselves at all about Mormonism, except that that faith speaks of God the Father and Jesus, His Son. [Though not in ways of which dogmatic Christianity approves.]
The atheists' problem, bottom line, is JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF. HE is their "enemy!"
And I agree with your suspicion that "that most American atheists are Democrat." I imagine the rest is composed by people who have no sense or experience whatever of interior, spiritual life, and so have no direction for their thinking about their own personal existence and their place in the world; and then, some Libertarians.
But such Libertarians "by definition" aren't genuine "conservatives."
Just some thoughts, FWIW.
Thank you ever so much, dearest sister in Christ, for your keen observations here!
Yep. I see that too, dear Jeff!
We're being "hogswallered"....
The question is: Is there a sufficient number of wakeful Americans left to put an end to this willful, systematic deception?
November 6th will tell the tale for me.
May God continue to bless America!
Truly, our national problems are spiritual at the root and I pray earnestly for an awakening, repentance, renewal and restoration of our country.
Yes, indeed.
