Those who come here legally are greeted with open arms and warm hearts, regardless of race, religion, or nationality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moreover, remember that America has been inundated by tens of millions of illegal aliens, mostly from Mexico, who cost taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars each year. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many invading illegals refuse to assimilate into American culture and have little or no desire to learn English. Others remain politically and culturally loyal to their nation of origin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;That is also NOT the American way!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Standing up for the rule of law IS the American way and we thank the Senate for defeating the anti-American DREAM Act!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-4766609012163514137?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/4766609012163514137'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/4766609012163514137'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2010/12/tidings-of-great-joy-from-us-senate.html' title='Tidings of Great Joy from U.S. Senate: DREAM Act Defeated!'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/Rz-Ybh9r7II/AAAAAAAAA4Y/R-1zbsHK9fk/s72-c/ChristmasTree2005_NM_sm.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-6012316612622349017</id><published>2010-11-10T12:15:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-10T12:16:33.558-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Is Amnesty Dead?

Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Open borders advocates, and those who fret over illegal aliens forced to live in the shadows, are in a deep dither over the election results because the leftist plan to reward millions of illegal aliens with amnesty, known euphemistically as “Comprehensive” Immigration Reform, may be dead in the water for the near term. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which explains that “loud sucking sound,” which is the noise made by tens of millions of moon bats wringing their corrupt hands in unison as Democrat politicians rue the latest turn of events. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How dare those haughty Americans ignore the contributions of tens of millions of poor, non-English speaking invaders who cost taxpayers more than $100 billion dollars a year?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All because of flimsy concerns about American national sovereignty, secure borders, homeland security, preservation of American language and culture, and the rule of law?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What to do? they wail in  righteous indignation!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alas, there is a relatively simple solution, although its simplicity may not curry much favor among those who wish to re-make America into a suburb of Tee-Juana!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Sane Solution: Enforce the bloody law!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its official title is the “Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986", and this jewel was put on the books the last time America’s elitists decided that our nation faced a desperate shortfall of menial laborers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IRCA came about as a trade for amnesty granted to the 3-4 million invading criminals from Mexico in 1986. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IRCA was supposed to put an end, once and for all, to the illegal invasion of America. That would require enforcement of IRCA, a notion that no administration, neither Democrat nor Republican, has even vaguely pondered. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With a new, more conservative U.S. House and Senate due in town in January, it is time for duly-elected politicians to enforce IRCA in full, including deportation of the 12-38 million foreign illegal aliens who have come here since IRCA was signed into law.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Time to give rule of law, including IRCA, a chance!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-6012316612622349017?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/6012316612622349017'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/6012316612622349017'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2010/11/is-amnesty-dead-if-so-what-next.html' title='Is Amnesty Dead?

Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Former President George W. Bush was fond of arguing that illegal aliens were not stealing jobs from Americans because the invaders were doing work that citizens would simply not do.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That specious argument, accepted by RINOs, leftists, and the mainstream media, has been effectively debunked thanks to legal shyster Gloria Allred and her illegal alien client Nancy Diaz, and their wicked attempt to destroy Republican Meg Whitman.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a result of Allred’s slimy nanny-abuse chasing on behalf of Jerry Brown, we now know that Nancy Diaz was paid $23 dollars an hour for cleaning Whitman’s home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;At 40 hours a week, that adds up to $47,840 a year! &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not bad for a “good-hearted, hard-working” invader with limited English skills, no education and a penchant for lying and falsifying legal documents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, Diaz’s gig was so good that one wonders how many citizens would be willing to do her job?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Imagine an employment ad reading as follows:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Help Wanted. Housekeeping, menial labor. $23 an hour. Must be U.S. citizen.” &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Obama economy, such an ad would probably draw tens of thousands of applicants, perhaps significantly more, anywhere in the nation, including affluent and sophisticated areas like San Francisco Bay Area, Boston, Chicago, and New York City.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All the more reason why ICE should arrest and deport Diaz immediately, and begin immediate action to deport ALL illegal aliens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt; The big question: With 15 million Americans out of work, why in the hell are Obama and his Marxist allies in Congress pushing amnesty for invading criminals like Nancy Diaz?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-2196393156873904609?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/2196393156873904609'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/2196393156873904609'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2010/10/help-wanted-23hour-menial-labor-must-be.html' title='Help Wanted: $23/hour Menial Labor Must Be US Citizen'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-7864251072096223263</id><published>2010-04-12T18:22:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-04-12T18:25:30.510-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Call Them What They Are--Invading Criminals!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/S8PH_Iw2NaI/AAAAAAAAD30/nVy_EfRSIpA/s1600/mexdr.jpeg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 138px; height: 87px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/S8PH_Iw2NaI/AAAAAAAAD30/nVy_EfRSIpA/s320/mexdr.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459427060801222050" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By John W. Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As if the Democrats' mad rush to remake America into a third-world colony of Mexico were not bad enough, mindless liberals actually want to scrap the First Amendment by banning use of the term "Illegal Alien."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The PC-preferred term is "undocumented worker" or "undocumented immigrant" which are intended to deliberately skirt the issue of criminal invasion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;However, illegal aliens Are NOT immigrants!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Migrating to America (legally) is, and should be, a long, drawn-out procedure meant to protect the interests of American citizens.  It involves more than simply jumping a fence and heading north in pursuit of free health care, education, food stamps and other handouts paid for by U.S. taxpayers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Legal immigration means enduring rigorous hurdles like background checks to detect a criminal background or possible ties to terrorists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It means medical examinations to detect diseases still prevalent in third-world nations, but long since eradicated here, and&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It means proof of financial solvency so as to prevent newcomers from becoming a burden on U.S. taxpayers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those who have jumped the fence into America in order to avoid our immigration checks are not immigrants.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In truth, people who come here illegally leave America vulnerable to undetected crime, terrorism, disease, and financial devastation.  And they have no legal or moral justification for being here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why engage in silly word games and euphemistic cover-ups?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People here illegally are illegal aliens and need to leave ASAP.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Period!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-7864251072096223263?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/7864251072096223263'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/7864251072096223263'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2010/04/call-them-what-they-are-invading.html' title='Call Them What They Are--Invading Criminals!'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/S8PH_Iw2NaI/AAAAAAAAD30/nVy_EfRSIpA/s72-c/mexdr.jpeg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-3926057842973601148</id><published>2010-01-08T17:02:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-01-08T17:03:27.467-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Stimulus Did Not Work in 2009, Is Not Working in 2010!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/S0ebtEM-U7I/AAAAAAAADt4/JI2UbSRzyb8/s1600-h/obamalaidback1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 228px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/S0ebtEM-U7I/AAAAAAAADt4/JI2UbSRzyb8/s320/obamalaidback1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424475474715628466" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By John W.

The rate would have been higher if more people had been looking for work instead of leaving the labor force because they can't find jobs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The sharp drop in the work force -- 661,000 fewer people -- showed that more of the jobless are giving up. Once people stop looking for jobs, they're no longer counted among the unemployed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“When discouraged workers and part-time workers who would prefer full-time jobs are included, the so-called "underemployment" rate in December rose to 17.3 percent, from 17.2 percent in November. That's just below a revised figure of 17.4 percent in October, the highest on records dating from 1994.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Imagine that: 10.0 percent unemployment and 17.3 percent under employment--all for just one trillion dollars of stimulus pork!  What a deal!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another 85,000 out of work and this president and liberals in Congress want to grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens, many whom hold jobs that should be filled by Americans!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How about a win-win proposal that will help America and clean up the illegal alien mess all at once?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;win one for America proposal&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;: Put US citizens who are unemployed to work in hunting down and deporting illegal aliens and in assisting border patrol agents secure our borders. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Say what? That would be unfair and discriminatory?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yep, it sure would. But then again, so is allowing 20 million illegal aliens to steal hundreds of billions of dollars each year from US taxpayers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How about some unfair and discriminatory actions by the government in favor of hard-working, tax-paying US citizens for a change?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(1)http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Economy-loses-more-jobs-apf-2245188994.html?x=0&amp;.v=8&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-3926057842973601148?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/3926057842973601148'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/3926057842973601148'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2010/01/stimulus-did-not-work-in-2009-is-not.html' title='Stimulus Did Not Work in 2009, Is Not Working in 2010!'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/S0ebtEM-U7I/AAAAAAAADt4/JI2UbSRzyb8/s72-c/obamalaidback1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-4494046876269316415</id><published>2009-12-27T21:03:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-27T21:04:29.589-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Frequently Asked Questions About ObamaCare</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;Satire by John W.

Others are not informed as to the effective dates and coverage terms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The following list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) was hacked from DNC computers and shows the answers that Democrat voters are being fed:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q: &lt;em&gt;My next health insurance premium is due on January 5, 2010. Should I pay it, or will Obama handle it for me?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A: Registered Democrats and Independents who voted for ‘Bama are automatically covered as of 1/1/2010. President Obama has requested that instead of wasting more money on insurance premiums, these folks should make a generous, tax-deductible contribution to the Democrat party. Write “Ben Nelson-Mary Landrieu payoffs” on your check.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Registered Republicans and Independents who voted for John McCain will not be covered under ObamaCare until their 65th birthday or five years following the president’s signature, whichever comes first. Such people must continue to pay their overpriced premiums or risk a $5,000 annual fine and five years in jail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q: &lt;em&gt;I am an illegal alien from Latin America who desperately needs transsexual surgery to align my sexual plumbing with my natural urges and instincts. I am bilingual, but only in Spanish and Mexican.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Am I covered, and when can I trade my useless penis for replacement parts that will set me free?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A: Good news, Pedro!  As it turns out, you are covered as of 1/1/2010, just like the dopey American citizens who will end up paying for your switch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To qualify, simply provide proof of your illegal alien status to the attending surgeon at least twenty minutes before anesthesia is administered. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One word of caution: Do not speak even a single word of English. Doing do may disqualify you immediately.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q: &lt;em&gt;I am eight plus months pregnant with twin boys. The father and I are not married and we have agreed that I will get an abortion. From a financial view, should we have the abortion in 2009 or wait until 2010?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A: We cannot dispense medical advice, but recommend that you ask your physician if he or she can guarantee that your brats will not pop out before January 1, 2010. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If premature delivery is not a risk, we advise waiting until mid-January to nuke the brats. By doing so, you will automatically qualify for the ObamaCare late-term rebate, which can save you thousands!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Q: Mother is 54 years old and in need of bypass heart surgery. She is still very active in GOP politics including her role as a top fundraiser for Sarah Palin.  What are her options under ObamaCare?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A: We recommend that Mum apply for assisted suicide in a state where that procedure is legal, but wait until after January 1. Good news: Legal assisted suicide is fully covered (no co-pay) for Republicans and Independents who voted for McCain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There you go!  &lt;strong&gt;The Democrat party looking out for the little guy as always!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-4494046876269316415?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/4494046876269316415'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/4494046876269316415'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2009/12/frequently-asked-questions-about.html' title='Frequently Asked Questions About ObamaCare'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-3347468837957092898</id><published>2009-12-01T22:00:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-12-01T22:00:40.163-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Marching off to Surrender?</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;By John W. Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With all due respect to President Obama, has there ever been a lamer, feebler, dumber, or weaker call to arms than his December 1 “surge” speech?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What must be going through the minds of those young American men and women who will soon be sent into harm’s at the behest of President Obama? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Commander-in-Chief Obama does not really appear committed to winning the war; rather, he seems preoccupied with exit strategies based on politics, including his own prospects for reelection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is that any way to run a war?  Is that any way to manipulate the lives and limbs of young Americans in our military forces?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What must be going through the minds of Al-Quaeda operatives?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, this president has all but granted citizenship to KSM and fellow terrorists by providing them with a world stage in New York City. Then the same president makes a token gesture to fulfill a campaign promise, a hollow effort which gives the enemy comfort in knowing the end date and game.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nearly 70 Decembers ago, America’s naval fleet moored at Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Japanese.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What if President Roosevelt had damned the Japanese for their hostile act of war, but committed America only to fight back until 1943, the year before the next presidential election?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clearly, this president does not understand the importance of defeating Al-Quaeda and winning the war on terror, which he refuses to even acknowledge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama’s “surge” is all about domestic politics, and protecting the interests of the Democrat party.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is nothing short of a scandal that 30,000 additional Americans will be sent into battle by a Commander-in-Chief who is more concerned with defeating Republicans than destroying the enemy!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-3347468837957092898?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/3347468837957092898'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/3347468837957092898'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2009/12/marching-off-to-surrender.html' title='Marching off to Surrender?'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-2964699112076841471</id><published>2009-11-21T17:14:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-21T17:17:02.637-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Higher Taxes on the Rich: Immoral and Wrong!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SwiQygKNLwI/AAAAAAAADqA/EOc3E1cS9l0/s1600/obamashoes.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 160px; height: 120px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SwiQygKNLwI/AAAAAAAADqA/EOc3E1cS9l0/s320/obamashoes.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406730549958881026" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SwhQJ5STLhI/AAAAAAAADp4/3oYiRm2Ua6Y/s1600/hatmoney.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 107px; height: 133px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SwhQJ5STLhI/AAAAAAAADp4/3oYiRm2Ua6Y/s320/hatmoney.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406659483584900626" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By John W. Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not only do liberals want to tax the so-called rich in order to fund health care for illegal aliens and other uninsured millions, now a prominent member of the U.S. Senate has proposed a tax on the well to do to pay for Obama’s quagmire in Afghanistan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As reported at Bloomberg.com, in part:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Higher-income Americans should be taxed to pay for more troops sent to Afghanistan and NATO should provide half of the new soldiers, said Carl Levin, chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Levin’s un-American scheme may actually find support among leftists who hate the rich more than they hate war!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When will this madness be halted?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When will the Supreme Court step in and rule that taxing the wealthy for every hair-brained scam and failure committed by our inept -president is unconstitutional, un-American, and just plain immoral?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think about it: Why in the hell should the rich pay for Obama’s war in Afghanistan?  Wealthy people already pay the vast majority of the taxes paid to Uncle Sam—what could possibly justify slamming the successful with even more financial pain?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clearly, liberals like Levin regard the tax code as a means for punishing those who succeed and who are also a vulnerable minority. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you launched a new company, hired scores of employees, and earned a handsome income in the process?  According to fractured the mind of Carl Levin, you must be punished for outshining the great unwashed masses.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a racist element in all this. For the most part, America’s rich are Caucasian which means that they are “fair game” for liberal tax abusers like Obama and Levin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is there no civil liberties group in place to defend the rich against higher taxes and discrimination based on racial profiling?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-2964699112076841471?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/2964699112076841471'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/2964699112076841471'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2009/11/higher-taxes-on-rich-immoral-and-wrong.html' title='Higher Taxes on the Rich: Immoral and Wrong!'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SwiQygKNLwI/AAAAAAAADqA/EOc3E1cS9l0/s72-c/obamashoes.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-1638262623330836072</id><published>2009-10-16T16:54:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-16T16:55:03.063-07:00</updated><title type='text'>ObamaCare Drives Seniors to Mexico as Undocumented Boomers!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/RmsAf_yoVJI/AAAAAAAAAWw/rTrcIzEH9bo/s1600-h/whee.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/RmsAf_yoVJI/AAAAAAAAAWw/rTrcIzEH9bo/s400/whee.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5074149954862732434" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Satire By John W. Lillpop &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;An Open Letter To Mexican President Felipe Calderon&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear President Calderon: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you are no doubt aware, America the Great is quickly becoming America the Gray. The so-called "boomer" generation, comprised of approximately 70 million Americans, will soon reach retirement age. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As they age, America's boomers yearn for a less frantic pace---and a lifestyle that allows one to pause and smell the roses now and again. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other words, boomers are looking for the "Good Life" which is supposed to accrue to those who work 45 years, pay ungodly amounts in taxes, raise a family, put children through college, and baby-sit the grandchildren. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately, the United States is no longer as hospitable as it once was to graying citizens, especially now that our economy has collapsed. Further, Marxists dim wits, otherwise known as Democrats, are trying to make life even more unbearable with health care reform that makes it a crime to be over 50!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a result, boomers have decided to move to your beloved Mexico. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Knowing that the Mexican government is a strong supporter of open borders and liberal immigration policies, as least with respect to migrations &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;from&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Mexico to America, boomers anticipate that their needs and wishes will be fully accommodated with minimal interference and bureaucratic hassle. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In plain English, boomers expect to be treated like upscale Mexican citizens, with all the perks and advantages attendant thereto. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Incidentally, we prefer to be called &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;"undocumented boomers." &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;President Calderon, I am delighted to announce that 70 million undocumented American boomers are headed to Mexico! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Viva America! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Current plans call for about 1,500,000 boomers to cross the border into Mexico each month.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As with any complex transition, there are several "ground rules" that must be followed in order to make this change seamless.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Accordingly, your attention is directed to the following action items: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Mexican sovereignty, borders, and immigration laws are essentially null and void with respect to undocumented boomers. No attempt should be made to enforce said restrictions on good hearted, formerly hard working Americans. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Undocumented boomers shall receive unlimited education, food, housing, legal assistance, and geriatric care on demand, the cost of which shall be borne solely by Mexican taxpayers. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Mexican hospitals, medical clinics, and emergency rooms shall be obligated to meet the medical needs of all undocumented boomers, without regard to ability to pay. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This obligation shall not be limited or restricted in any way because of any real or projected negative impact on Mexico's medical systems, including the loss of vital services to Mexican citizens. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Although undocumented boomers shall not be obligated to pay for medical services received, they shall be entitled to send $30-50 billion a year back to the United States with impunity. The Mexican government shall actively facilitate the transfer of such funds to America. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* English is the only language used by undocumented boomers; boomers have no desire or obligation to learn Spanish. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* America's historic free speech, free love, and anti-war revolutions originated with activists in the boomer generation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In keeping with the boomer tradition of aggressive activism, from time to time it may be necessary for millions of boomers to take over the streets of Mexico's large cities in order to protest proposed new laws when the "rights" of undocumented boomers are in jeopardy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During such protests, boomers will wave Old Glory and scream "Yes, we can!" and "We are Mexico!" in English, as they protest the rule of law. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All such activities are valid free speech expressions in a thriving Democracy. As a consequence, the Mexican government shall take no action to limit or impede protests by undocumented boomers. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* We Americans celebrate the 4th of July to commemorate our independence from Great Britain. Undocumented boomers prefer to conduct business as normal on May 5 and September 16, and to reserve the 4th of July for fireworks, BBQs, and displaying Red, White, and Blue everywhere. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Undocumented boomers shall be licensed to drive without regard to immigration status. All driver instruction and testing materials shall be in English. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Blood relatives of undocumented boomers shall be eligible for the same reduced tuition rates offered to Mexican students in the nation legally. Immersion for the purpose of teaching Spanish is a failed concept and shall not even be attempted. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Undocumented boomers shall be eligible to vote in Mexican elections without any requirement to prove identity. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Grandchildren of undocumented boomers born in Mexico shall be Mexican citizens by virtue of their birth, regardless of the immigration status of their parents and grand parents, and &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Undocumented boomers are very sensitive and are easily offended. Therefore, Mexicans shall refrain from using terms like "illegal alien," "Red Neck," "Cracker,"or "Gringo" when addressing or discussing boomers. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In closing, Mr. President, let me assure you that undocumented boomers will attempt to do for Mexico what 38 million Mexican illegal aliens are currently doing to America! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With best regards and wishes for a diverse and free Mexico! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John Lillpop &lt;br /&gt;San Hose, California&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-1638262623330836072?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/1638262623330836072'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/1638262623330836072'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2009/10/obamacare-drives-seniors-to-mexico-as.html' title='ObamaCare Drives Seniors to Mexico as Undocumented Boomers!'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/RmsAf_yoVJI/AAAAAAAAAWw/rTrcIzEH9bo/s72-c/whee.gif' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-4383417437519531471</id><published>2009-10-12T12:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-12T12:21:09.792-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Open Letter to Senator Barbara Boxer</title><content type='html'>October 11, 2009 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Senator Barbara Boxer &lt;br /&gt;Washington, D.C. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Senator: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am in receipt of your correspondence concerning the gloomy unemployment picture in America, especially in California where the number of unemployed is over twelve percent. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While I agree that action is needed, I do not agree that we need to extend unemployment benefits at this time. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you are aware, on February 17, 2009, newly installed President Barack Obama signed a so-called "stimulus" bill with a price tag of $787 billion dollars. That bill was rushed to the president for signature, although very few, if any, of those who voted for the measure actually read it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I note that you voted for the bill, Senator Boxer. Did you read the bill before casting your vote? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;President Obama surely did not, and it was he who said the bill had to be enacted immediately to stave off economic disaster and put America back to work. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you are also aware, at the signing ceremony President Obama claimed that the bill would create or save about 3.5 million jobs, many of them in infrastructure and renewable energy projects. The president also said the measure marked "the beginning of the first steps to set our economy on a firmer foundation." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eight months later, our economy continues to hemorrhage jobs with no relief in sight. Nationally, unemployment is close to 10 percent, the worst since 1983. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clearly, the strategy of spend, spend, and spend even more is not the answer to our unemployment problem or the continuing recession. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, the level of spending undertaken by this administration and Congress has caused the federal deficit to spiral out of control, and appears to be costing, rather than adding, jobs so desperately needed by Americans. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition, Congress is considering legislation for health care reform and the so-called "Cap and Trade" that you are personally affiliated with and so knowledgeable about. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each of these programs would cost taxpayers nearly one trillion dollars, if enacted. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Senator, given the depressed state of our economy, is it not time for elected officials to abandon political ambitions and ideological passions in order to fulfill their fiduciary responsibility to the American people? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rather than pursuing a second stimulus bill, or extending unemployment benefits, Congress and the administration should cut taxes across the board for both individual taxpayers (ten percent) and corporations (twenty five percent). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition, legislation for health care reform and Cap and Trade should be postponed until 2012. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Senator Boxer, if the Democrat party is serious about facilitating the return of prosperity to our nation, liberals must stop waging war on private enterprise! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Private enterprise--not government spending-- creates jobs and the opportunity for prosperity in our economy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Granted, private enterprise is all about profit--but profit is the mother's milk that enables private concerns to hire employees and pay federal, state, and local taxes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The desire to profit in exchange for providing services and goods is not evil. Rather, it is as the essence of the American Dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, how long can our democracy survive when our elected officials find it acceptable to approve and sign bills which they have not read because of length and complexity, but which saddle taxpayers with trillions of dollars of debt? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;America's elected officials should be required to read and understand all legislation presented for approval. Bills involving more than $100 billion dollars of taxpayer money should be posted for the public to review at least 14 days before any Congressional vote is scheduled. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your thoughtful consideration of these points will be greatly appreciated. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Respectfully, &lt;br /&gt;　 &lt;br /&gt;John W.

Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CHICAGO ELIMINATED!&lt;/strong&gt;  was the blaring headline on this first Friday of October.  &lt;em&gt;So what?&lt;/em&gt; was the bitter reaction of anyone who follows Chicago sports with any degree of sincerity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After all, being eliminated is a tradition dating back to 1908 for the Windy City.  Until now, ELIMINATED has been used to describe the obligatory sacking of the Chicago Cubs from baseball's pennant races or playoffs. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ELIMINATED, ALA Chicago Cubs, happens as early as mid September and as late as mid-October.  Whether early or late, it happens every year and no amount of audacity can change that fact.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now the Curse of Chicago has extended its ferocious tentacles and brought down the bid of the Windy City to be the Host City for the 2016 Olympics.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This despite the "sacrifice" of President Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, and Oprah Winfrey. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or perhaps BECAUSE of the meddling interference of this elitist trio?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still, being the good sport that he is, Barack Obama will probably use this public humiliation as a "Teaching Moment" for America and the world. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Obama works to spin this defeat into a win, he will surely focus on the fact that racism is not limited to white Republicans in America. Denmark and all of the IOC are also afflicted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another tactic would be to allege that things would have worked out differently if the president had been able to devote more of his personal time to the bid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, ObamaCrats will point out that this president is the Commander-in-chief and was appropriately focused on the war in Afghanistan as a priority item, rather than the gory details of corrupt Chicago politics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which is why President Obama met with his top Afghanistan commander, Army General Stanley McChrystal for 25 minutes on Air Force One in Copenhagen.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That 25 minutes was a huge sacrifice made by the president on behalf of the 68,000 American troops in harm's way in Afghanistan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If race and the Afghan war do not convince skeptics, Obama can always drag out the W. card: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;America lost the opportunity to host the 2016 Olympics because of George W. Bush and his shoot-them-up blemishing of America's image hither and yonder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other words, Obama inherited the ELIMINATION mess from W.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps it is time for this president to have a long, quiet talk with his inner child in order to accept a brutal truth: America, and all of the world, is gagging on the over load of Obamamania being forced down our throats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are tired of your pretty face and throaty voice, sir!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, Mr. President!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite what Oprah and Rahm have been telling you, you are NOT the Messiah, a Star Wars Yedi, or the Dark Knight.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You have been prominently portrayed as the Joker but that is another story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is true that you do excel at some things. Like giving lofty speeches loaded with fluffy words and unrealistic promises.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, despite what Joe Biden has told you, being "Clean and articulate" is NOT good enough for the presidency!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unemployment is bumping up against 10 percent, the deficit is more bloated than Oprah, and everything else you touch is turning to gold--fool's gold.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You, Mr. President, are mortal, albeit, an above average mortal, with frailties and weaknesses just like the other six billion humans on this planet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take a deep breath, sir, and face reality in simple terms that even a Chicago community organizer should be able to grasp: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With all due respect, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;You suck!

I was, you see, raised in a home that put me at great risk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I was raised by a stay at home mom and a father who served in the US Navy and then worked very hard to feed and house us.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Our family went to church on most Sundays, paid our bills and taxes on time, and respected all people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Except for that mysterious period when we strayed and dabbled in slavery.

It drops to about $7.70 a week at the start of 2010. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'It's an extra bag of popcorn and a Pepsi, if you know what I mean," said Glen Falke, 64, an arborist from upstate New York. 'It's not a big deal for me.' &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But residents of cash-strapped California are especially underwhelmed because a slew of proposed state tax increases - on everything from the gas tax to sales tax - threaten to wipe out the modest payday bonus from Mr. Obama. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'That $13 isn't going to do much when the state is raising everything," said Linda Fernandez, 65, a special-education teacher in San Dimas, Calif.

He was the first American president born outside of the original thirteen colonies.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Obama was hatched in a mud hut somewhere in Kenya where birth certificates are apparently illegal. He was the first American president born outside the United States.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Because of the slavery issue, Lincoln was not even on the ballot in nine southern states for the 1860 presidential election.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Thanks to ACORN activists, Obama's name appeared on ballots provided to illegal aliens, felons, and others not eligible to vote in all 50 states, Mexico, and lord knows where else.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lincoln redefined Republicanism by shifting emphasis to the Declaration of Independence as the foundation of American political values — freedom and equality for all, rather than the Constitution's tolerance of slavers.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Thanks to a $750 million war chest, ACORN voter fraud, and a biased liberal media, Obama redefined the Democrat party as home to a gaggle of undisciplined Marxists, baby killers, pacifist wusses, corrupt labor unions, and elitists addicted to wasting taxpayer money on mindless liberal causes.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;During the Civil War, Lincoln assumed powers no previous President had tried. He used his war powers to proclaim a blockade, suspended the writ of habeas corpus, spent money before Congress appropriated it, and imprisoned 18,000 suspected Confederate sympathizers without trial. (1)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;One of Obama's first acts as commander-in-chief during the war on terror was to order the closure of Guantanamo Bay, outlaw torture, and otherwise make the world a kinder, gentler place for Islamofascists dedicated to murdering Americans, Jews, and infidels throughout the world.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lincoln was very well respected as a man of integrity and was called "Honest Abe." &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Obama cavorts with tax cheats, ACORN volunteers involved in voter fraud, and other unsavory characters, mostly unwashed Democrats from Illinois.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, most dramatically, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lincoln signed two Emancipation Proclamations to free (ultimately) four million slaves.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Obama is set to sign a  "stimulus" bill that will pile crushing debt on the backs of several future generations of Americans, thereby enslaving people of all races, ethnic backgrounds, religions, nationalities, and socioeconomic classes just to implement a host of failed liberal programs that America neither needs or wants.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bottom Line: Barack Obama, you are no Abraham Lincoln!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(1)   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Lincoln&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-7777700022216752564?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/7777700022216752564'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/7777700022216752564'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2009/02/barack-obama-youre-no-abe-lincoln.html' title='Barack Obama: You&apos;re No Abe Lincoln!'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SZWEscc9DTI/AAAAAAAADFc/A-MAU2n2ZF4/s72-c/abelincoln.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-819146110494839312</id><published>2009-01-24T08:38:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-24T08:57:33.104-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Mega Dittos,  President Obama!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SXqt6eJJsrI/AAAAAAAAC_g/rsBhtWypZoM/s1600-h/obamaphone"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SXqt6eJJsrI/AAAAAAAAC_g/rsBhtWypZoM/s400/obamaphone" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5294735531962905266" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Satire by John W. Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In yet another bold move in a week of unprecedented executive action by an inexperienced community organizer in the White House, President Barack Obama abandoned several "old school" concerns harbored by the Bush administration in order to properly address more urgent threats. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Specifically, President Obama announced that his administration has managed to isolate Osama bin Laden to a few "hot spots" where terrorists are known to congregate, thereby taking the bin Laden crisis off the president's Urgent Action calendar. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When pressed for details, the president referred the press to CIA Director Leon Pinetta who explained that the "hot spots" include Baghdad's "green zone," Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Egypt, Somalia, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and other Muslim states known to be sympathetic to the CEO of global Islamofascism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pinetta also indicated that sleeper cell neighborhoods in Detroit and South Chicago might be "of interest" in locating OBL, although further action would be dependent on convincing BHO to supersede his first Executive Order which dismantled W.'s unconstitutional, illegal, immoral, and secretive domestic wiretapping apparatus.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On a more cheery note, Pinetta declared that reports which allege that Osama bin Laden works as a fund raiser for CAIR in downtown Washington, D.C., at 1700 Pennsylvania Avenue, are "completely false and not worthy of further action or comment by the CIA or other federal law enforcement agency."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With Osama-mania effectively muted, President Obama rolled up his sleeves and tackled some of the more critical issues on the day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Namely, BHO took on Rush Limbaugh, Republicans who listen to El Rushbo, and unborn fetuses, those incorrigible rascals waiting to pop out and destroy the environment, the global economy, and the world's food and water supplies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a result, Limbaugh, Republican listeners, and the unborn got a taste of presidential wrath of the type normally seen when a nasty boil shows up on the president's bum, or when a lingering hang over, brought on by not having enough balls to say no to at least some of the balls spinning out of control in the wee morning hours, continues to haunt America's main man several days later.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As reported by the New York Post and repeated below, in part:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"President Obama warned Republicans on Capitol Hill today that they need to quit listening to radio king Rush Limbaugh if they want to get along with Democrats and the new administration. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done," he told top GOP leaders, whom he had invited to the White House to discuss his nearly $1 trillion stimulus package."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With all due respect to the new president, getting "things done" is not in the best interests of America when the "things" are harmful to homeland security, national defense, the economy, and traditional family values.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps President Obama should stop listening to out of touch people like Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and other clue less liberals? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead, Mr. president, why not try to catch Rush's show which is on from 12-3 PM every day?  Who knows, you might benefit from diversity of opinion and, with a little effort, might become the most famous "ditto head" in all of America!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;President Obama also flashed a bit of competitive arrogance which indicates that he is probably better suited to arranging midnight basketball tournaments than serving as America's commander-in-chief.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the New York Post, this additional information, in part:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"In an exchange with Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.) about the (stimulus) proposal, the president shot back: "I won," according to aides briefed on the meeting. "I will trump you on that." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We are experiencing an unprecedented economic crisis that has to be dealt with and dealt with rapidly," Obama said during the meeting."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, according to President Obama, in the event of an "unprecedented crisis" as defined by a Democrat president, the system of checks and balances built into our form of government is null and void?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Powers granted to the legislative and judicial branches of government under the Constitution are unilaterally trumped by the president when he has decided that he "won"?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clearly, President Obama needs a crash course in Civics 101. Like three hours a day, from 12-3 PM, Eastern Time, for example.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All one needs, Mr. President, is an open mind and a reliable radio on which to listen to the man "with talent of loan from God, on a mission to educate and irritate liberals!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mega dittos, Mr. President!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-819146110494839312?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/819146110494839312'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/819146110494839312'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2009/01/mega-ditto-heads-president-obama.html' title='Mega Dittos,  President Obama!'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SXqt6eJJsrI/AAAAAAAAC_g/rsBhtWypZoM/s72-c/obamaphone' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-8635837981923918269</id><published>2009-01-21T10:09:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-21T10:09:56.877-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Was Media Coverage of the Inauguration Fair?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SXdBTPejzQI/AAAAAAAAC8o/Ko5XHdY2R2Q/s1600-h/opoquiz.jpeg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 128px; height: 64px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SXdBTPejzQI/AAAAAAAAC8o/Ko5XHdY2R2Q/s400/opoquiz.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293771685825334530" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Satire by John W. Lillpop&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although I was (thankfully) able to avoid most of the &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Obamania&lt;/span&gt; celebrations broadcast by the liberal media on January 20, there were circumstances beyond my control that left me vulnerable a few times throughout the dreary day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For instance, when nature called, I rushed to the rest room only to discover that jumbo-sized plasma television screens were mounted everywhere. Tragically, all were tuned to CNN, CBS, or NBC.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dreary and depressing stuff, that. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because of too much coffee and a weak bladder, nature called early and often, exposing me to a form of torture that no conservative should have to endure. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Given the choice between being water boarded or forced to watch Katie Couric, Brian Williams, and the gang at CNN deify Barack Obama, my only question would be: &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;My water or yours?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the interest of providing children with a fair and balanced view of America's bold new era, the following pop quiz has been gleaned from liberal talking points seen on January 20, 2009:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;President Obama is:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;( ) More important than Jesus Christ and God&lt;br /&gt;( ) The embodiment of the cumulative spirituality, intelligence, integrity, kindness, wisdom, honesty, goodness, and love found in the Twelve disciples and all of the Roman Catholic Popes &lt;br /&gt;( ) Infallible and Holy&lt;br /&gt;( ) All of the above&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Joe Biden:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;( ) Is Vice President AND Secretary of State&lt;br /&gt;( ) Works as comedian AND court jester for the White House&lt;br /&gt;( ) Wrote the 1929 Fireside Chat in which President Roosevelt calmed America's fears about the depression&lt;br /&gt;( ) Operated the TV camera during that 1929  Chat which was beamed throughout America in digital HDTV and surround sound &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Obama's election proves that:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;( ) Any inexperienced and unqualified black kid with $750 million dollars, ACORN voter fraud connections, and a gaggle of worshipping liberal "journalists" on his side can grow up to be president&lt;br /&gt;( ) Black racism combined with liberal guilt can overcome America's obsession with Democracy and vote integrity&lt;br /&gt;( ) The ability to deliver "thrills running up and down" the legs of dim wit liberals is more important than logic and common sense&lt;br /&gt;( ) The premature death of communism has been greatly exaggerated&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;President Obama's Inaugural Address:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; ( ) Is more sacred than the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and Bill of Rights combined&lt;br /&gt;( ) Deserves to be added to the Holy Bible as "The Gospel According to Obama"&lt;br /&gt;( ) Is the most important 18 minutes of breaking news from Washington, D.C. since Richard Nixon's secretary "accidentally" erased Tricky Dick's Watergate confession in 1972&lt;br /&gt;( )  Should be re-broadcast before each NBA basketball game, replacing that tired, old school National Anthem&lt;br /&gt;( ) Should be the subject of an Oliver Stone flick titled, "The Audacity of Hype!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;As a result of Obama's message, millions will:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;( ) Replace  "Ask What You Can Do For Your Country" with,  "What can big government can do for me?" gibberish&lt;br /&gt;( ) Join the US of A communist party&lt;br /&gt;( ) Cancel private health insurance plans in anticipation of Universal Socialized Medicine&lt;br /&gt;( ) Stop making mortgage payments to greedy, corrupt lenders&lt;br /&gt;( ) Join  ACORN's  "Reelect Obama 2012" campaign&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;John Roberts' flub during the Oath of Office was&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;( ) Blatant racism intended to confuse a person of color&lt;br /&gt;( ) A sinister plot by Republicans to invalidate the Obama presidency since the Birth Certificate fiasco flopped&lt;br /&gt;( ) A feeble, last ditch effort to make eight years of language abuse by George Bush seem more presidential&lt;br /&gt;( )  A high-tech lynching of a black dude&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;January 20, 2009 will be remembered as:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;( ) &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Obamamas&lt;/span&gt;--a new inclusive holiday to replace December 25, a non-inclusive pagan holiday celebrated by confused Christians to commemorate the birth of a Jew &lt;br /&gt;( )  The day that that stagnant, old Bush on the White House grounds was pruned back and shipped to Texas&lt;br /&gt;( ) The day on which being a citizen of the world became more important than being a citizen of the United States&lt;br /&gt;( ) The date on which being helpless and reliant on others replaced self-reliance and success as American virtues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In keeping with liberal dogma, there is no "failing", or other self-esteem-bashing element to this quiz. You finished the quiz, which is good enough for Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Karl Marx. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Best of all, there is no longer a need to be hard working, competent, resourceful, goal oriented, driven, prudent, austere, patriotic, cautious, or diligent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From now on, all of your needs will be taken care of by the federal government and Democrat politicians, like it or not!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Welcome to the &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Obama Nation&lt;/span&gt;!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-8635837981923918269?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/8635837981923918269'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/8635837981923918269'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2009/01/was-media-coverage-of-inauguration-fair.html' title='Was Media Coverage of the Inauguration Fair?'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SXdBTPejzQI/AAAAAAAAC8o/Ko5XHdY2R2Q/s72-c/opoquiz.jpeg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-929935183184835382</id><published>2009-01-20T10:45:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-20T10:50:00.077-08:00</updated><title type='text'>President Obama's First Lie: "My Fellow Citizens"</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SXYcuM5BYlI/AAAAAAAAC8g/CfSDaOj_-pI/s1600-h/barack-obama-joe-biden-2008-august-springfield-illinois-rally6.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 307px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SXYcuM5BYlI/AAAAAAAAC8g/CfSDaOj_-pI/s400/barack-obama-joe-biden-2008-august-springfield-illinois-rally6.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5293449992080548434" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;By John W.

He also has a greater appreciation for the "thrill of victory" after being sworn in as America's 44th president on this foreboding winter day in Washington, D.C.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;President Obama also apparently enjoys a good gloat at the expense of those he has vanquished in the cutthroat wars known as American politics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which is why his first words as president were all, at once, a poke in the eye to his tormentors and an outright lie.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;President Obama began his inaugural address with the salutation, "My fellow citizens."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyone who has followed the three-ring circus involving the president's birth certificate knows that Obama calling anyone a "fellow citizen" is a damnable lie, unless one hails from a mud hut in Kenya. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He dang near admitted as much when he described himself and the dog of his dreams as a "Mutt."  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately for America, the civilized world, and all of humanity, the so-called "objective press" was too overwhelmed with "thrills running up and down their legs" to concern themselves with puny issues like Constitutional eligibility.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then again perhaps the Constitution and the whole idea of Democracy are outdated and overrated?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We will soon find out!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-929935183184835382?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/929935183184835382'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/929935183184835382'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2009/01/president-obamas-first-lie-my-fellow.html' title='President Obama&apos;s First Lie: &quot;My Fellow Citizens&quot;'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SXYcuM5BYlI/AAAAAAAAC8g/CfSDaOj_-pI/s72-c/barack-obama-joe-biden-2008-august-springfield-illinois-rally6.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-8399273229731200794</id><published>2009-01-18T14:42:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-18T14:46:01.606-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Will Sean Penn's Cuddling with Latin Dictators Cost Him Oscar?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SXOw41NUGGI/AAAAAAAAC7g/UeH2q9GGd6k/s1600-h/pennoscar.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 113px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SXOw41NUGGI/AAAAAAAAC7g/UeH2q9GGd6k/s400/pennoscar.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292768477492549730" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By John W.

We reported last month how Penn was smacked by the gay Advocate magazine over his visits to Fidel and Raul Castro, whose regime murdered and imprisoned gays. Last week, Penn called José Miguel Vivanco, head of Human Rights Watch's Latin America division, and asked for a meeting. Vivanco flew to San Francisco to dine with the star Thursday and brief him on the situation in Cuba and Venezuela. Vivanco was thrown out of the latter country by Penn pal President Hugo Chavez.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Tom Cruise let Scientology make him a household name for weirdness. Sean is entering into similar territory as a p.r. stooge for left-wing dictatorships," said a Hollywood insider. "It's never too late to do the right thing," says Thor Halvorssen of the Human Rights Foundation. "Political prisoners in Venezuela and Cuba could use the help of someone like Sean Penn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well said, Thor!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sean Penn should do the right thing by dumping Hugo Chavez and the Castro brothers. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moreover, if Penn  just happens to win an Oscar in the process, well, worse things have happened to enemies of Chavez and Castro--especially gay ones!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reference (1):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.nypost.com/seven/01182009/gossip/pagesix/penn_antsy_over_lefty_pals_150663.htm&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-8399273229731200794?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/8399273229731200794'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/8399273229731200794'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2009/01/will-sean-penns-cuddling-with-latin.html' title='Will Sean Penn&apos;s Cuddling with Latin Dictators Cost Him Oscar?'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SXOw41NUGGI/AAAAAAAAC7g/UeH2q9GGd6k/s72-c/pennoscar.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-1871894382460679211</id><published>2009-01-12T10:15:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-12T10:17:44.518-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Does CAIR Really Care About American Children in Gaza?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SWuJBjmSodI/AAAAAAAAC4Y/K_IpiWcKqxE/s1600-h/CARECAIR.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 110px; height: 116px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SWuJBjmSodI/AAAAAAAAC4Y/K_IpiWcKqxE/s400/CARECAIR.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290472847105499602" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By John W.

Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite a deafening crescendo of outrage from the international community as well as a recent ruling issued by Israel's Supreme Court, the Israeli military continues to enforce a rigid ban on foreign journalists entering Gaza.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A ban on the press? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To patriotic Americans, freedom of the press is inalienable, unless the subject happens to be the Constitutional eligibility of a non-citizen (alleged) African-American to serve as President of the United States, in which case any inquiry is seen as blatantly racist and the media obediently avoids even the hint of journalistic objectivity and responsibility.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Press TV, comes this report (1) concerning Israel's ongoing battle with the press in Gaza: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Israel has maintained its ban on international journalists entering the Gaza Strip in defiance of a recent Supreme Court ruling. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Foreign journalists and reporters were refused entry into Gaza on Friday when Israel opened the crossing to allow some 300 Palestinians with foreign passports to leave the coastal strip. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The Israeli rejection comes after a recent court ruling that allows groups of up to 12 foreign journalists to cross the border whenever the Erez crossing between Israel and Gaza is open for humanitarian cases. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We call on the Israeli government to immediately honor the will of the court and allow foreign journalists access to Gaza," the Foreign Press Association said in a statement. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The authorities' position that there was not enough time to coordinate and allow the journalists to enter does not seem reasonable," it added. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Israel imposed the media ban to limit coverage of the happenings in Gaza, a move that has largely been successful. Some journalists argue that the media blackout on Gaza is mainly aimed at downplaying the Israeli blockade on the strip. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The ban on foreign journalists prevents news networks from assessing the extent of damage from the saturation bombings, the number of civilian casualties or the seriousness of humanitarian problems such as shortages of food and medicine."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Question: Why no mention of the fact that the ban also frustrates journalists eager to seek out and chronicle the tragic wounds and death visited upon  Israeli soldiers during the incursion?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One prominent argument made by those oppose Israel's media blackout is that, because of the ban, the only news coming from Gaza is from Al- Jazeera and other enemies of the Jewish state. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A counter argument might be that anti-Israel bias among foreign journalists is not that much less onerous than that of Al- Jazeera. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At least Al- Jazeera is a known quantity, openly recognized as THE network for terrorist-favorable stories and commentary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Should Israel remove the ban and allow foreign press into Gaza?  Or should they continue to prosecute the war in order to end the onslaught of rockets fired into their homeland by Hamas?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Self-defense or suicide?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reference 1:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.presstv.ir/detail.aspx?id=80333&amp;sectionid=351020202&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-5381891936537847394?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/5381891936537847394'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/5381891936537847394'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2009/01/should-israel-allow-international.html' title='Should Israel Allow International Journalists into Gaza?'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SWpJsSCXttI/AAAAAAAAC3w/-_rhyaIkfv0/s72-c/ISARELARMY.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-5282320212488297589</id><published>2009-01-10T10:43:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-10T10:50:31.138-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Ann Coulter: Hot Babe, Brilliant Mind!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SWjs5g6e6sI/AAAAAAAAC3Y/o95NmKryBZQ/s1600-h/AN+COUILTER.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 70px; height: 139px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SWjs5g6e6sI/AAAAAAAAC3Y/o95NmKryBZQ/s400/AN+COUILTER.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289738235178576578" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ann Coulter is that rare woman who has been blessed with sky-high intelligence, scathing wit, and striking beauty, all in one hot package.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Best of all, Ann`s brilliant mind has not been reduced to mush by the liberal brain washing gestapo known as higher education.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Coulter is a top-notch media superstar whose brilliance shines through from the conservative side of the universe, where truth and humor co-exist at the expense of leftist dunces. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Among her credentials is that fact that Ann can can incur the unanimous wrath of  leftist thugs like Matt Lauer and other goons at NBC without breaking a sweat or swearing. Such an intelligence deserves to be the object of wide national acclaim. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps an "Ann Coulter Holiday" is in order? Liberals who blanch at the idea can work for free that day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, if only our alleged Republican president and GOP weasels in Congress had one third of Ann`s commitment to conservative values, one-eighth her intelligence, and 10% of her fighting spirit, there might still be hope for the union.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although, I confess, there are times when I wish Coulter would go even further.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For example, after 9/11 she wrote that America should invade Muslim nations, take over their governments, and convert them to Christianity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That was truly brilliant! But why stop there?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let`s add the DNC, mainstream media, and all blue states to the to-be-converted list. Baptise them in Jesus Love and watch the world suddenly change, for the better. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my view, Coulter`s  most valuable public service occurs when she seduces lefties into public battle. There is no liberal alive who can match wits with the Blond Babe of the the Right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;America needs Ann Coulter, full strength, not decaff, nor Ann Lite.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After all, if We the People wanted wishy-washy, mindless pap we would simply read and listen to speeches given by RINOS like W.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Save us from all that, Ann: Please change nothing and just be yourself!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-5282320212488297589?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/5282320212488297589'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/5282320212488297589'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2009/01/ann-coulter-hot-babe-brilliant-mind.html' title='Ann Coulter: Hot Babe, Brilliant Mind!'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SWjs5g6e6sI/AAAAAAAAC3Y/o95NmKryBZQ/s72-c/AN+COUILTER.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-2251039074425664517</id><published>2009-01-10T06:50:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-10T06:54:10.268-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Barack Obama: America's First Non-Citizen President?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SWi2b8s3xXI/AAAAAAAAC3Q/UC5jn8jO0yw/s1600-h/censorshi%5Bp.jpeg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 127px; height: 135px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SWi2b8s3xXI/AAAAAAAAC3Q/UC5jn8jO0yw/s400/censorshi%5Bp.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289678353613702514" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;By John W.

Nothing Else Makes Sense!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;By John W. Lillpop&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the expiration of the cease fire truce between Hamas and Israel, rocket attacks against southern Israel have intensified and threatened to engulf the region in all out war. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On December 26, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert appealed to Gazans to stop the attacks or face a violent response.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On December 27, Israel began a major campaign to counter ongoing rocket fire out of Gaza. Since then, Israel has not stinted its efforts and has doubled its troops along the Gaza border.  6,500 reservists have been called to arms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Naturally, fuzzy thinkers throughout the world, including those hiding in the United Nations, have condemned Israel for using "Disproportional" force.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is it that, when it comes to Israel, any use of force, regardless of provocation, is automatically disproportional in the eyes of those who hate Jews and the United States?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Much of the world would, if possible, eradicate Israel into non-existence as a Jewish state.  Drive the Jews into the sea, they say, and the world will be blessed with peace and universal love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Much of the world would have Israel wait until disproportional force is used against her, before reciprocating in equal measure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, from the Israeli perspective, disproportional force is the only strategy that makes a lick of sense.  After all, the objective is to survive and that means stopping rocket attacks launched by a terrorist group, right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Given the fact that Israel's only hope for ending the violence against her own people is by using disproportional force, why delay?  Go after the terrorists, and root them out with all you have!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To do otherwise would be foolish and would only result in even more loss of life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although President-elect Barack Obama is still weeks away from taking office, one must wonder how much his looming presidency is escalating the drive toward war in Gaza? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last spring, for example, Hamas political adviser Ahmed Yousef said that the terrorist group supports Obama's foreign policy vision.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Actually, we like Mr. Obama. We hope he will [win] the election and I do believe he is like John Kennedy, great man with great principle," he said last April.

Lillpop&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the great-unreported stories is that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is an expert in the life and times of Jesus Christ.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, the Islamofascist's expertise is so extensive that he will deliver an "alternative Christmas message" in Britain, four hours after the Queen's traditional Christmas Day message is broadcast on the main channels. (1)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the link below, these excerpts from the madman's speech:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If Christ was on Earth today undoubtedly he would stand with the people in opposition to bullying, ill-tempered and expansionist powers,” Mr. Ahmadinejad will say in a speech to be shown in Farsi with English subtitle&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“If Christ was on Earth today undoubtedly he would hoist the banner of justice and love for humanity to oppose warmongers, occupiers, terrorists and bullies the world over. If Christ was on Earth today undoubtedly he would fight against the tyrannical policies of prevailing global economic and political systems, as He did in His lifetime"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, all of those "spiritual" comments are meant as "zingers" against the United States and its allies in the war against terror.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which prompts one to ask 1) Does Ahmadinejad even know that Jesus was a Jew? and 2) Has he pondered how would Jesus feel about a Muslim terrorist who openly calls for Israel to be wiped off the face of the earth?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Merry Christmas, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reference (1):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article5394204.ece&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-806657536483499297?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/806657536483499297'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/806657536483499297'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2008/12/merry-christmas-from-mahmoud.html' title='Merry Christmas from Mahmoud  Ahmadinejad!'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SVJjI3CF7tI/AAAAAAAACzo/SFNUi_kLN2M/s72-c/amhjadejhad.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-4333725137461288630</id><published>2008-12-24T06:38:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-24T06:38:40.504-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Merry Christmas from Mexico</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SVJDfdPMeRI/AAAAAAAACzg/PpDoRiuZ-uk/s1600-h/flag"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 135px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SVJDfdPMeRI/AAAAAAAACzg/PpDoRiuZ-uk/s400/flag" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283359520562379026" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By John W. Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For years, President Bush has refused to enforce U.S. borders and laws against invasions from third-world Mexico based on his foolish belief that Mexicans share American family values and should be welcomed regardless of the rule of law, American sovereignty, and the well being of American citizes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This delusional thinking ignores the fact that Mexico is a dangerous and corrupt sewer-nation that exports its raw garbage to America in the form of invading illegal aliens whom come here to live off the backs of American taxpayers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two current stories in the news tell the story about Mexico:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Headless in Guerrero&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Fox News (1), this report of brutal savagery and murder by Mexican heathen: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; "Authorities found the decapitated bodies of nine men in the southern state of Guerrero on Sunday, and some of the victims have been identified as soldiers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"State Public Safety Secretary Juan Salinas Altes said the bodies were found on a major boulevard in the state capital, Chilpancingo, just a few hundred yards from where the state governor was scheduled to participate in a traditional religious procession later in the day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Salinas Altes said experts are still trying to identify the bodies, but he said a still-undetermined number of them are soldiers. An army base is located nearby.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Mexico has been hit by a rising wave of drug-fueled violence, and officials estimate that more than 5,300 people have died in organized-crime-related slayings so far in 2008.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Mexican drug cartels have increasingly taken to chopping the heads off their victims, who include rival traffickers or lawmen. "On Aug. 28, a dozen decapitated bodies were found outside Merida, the capital of Yucatan state.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Two other severed heads were found on the same boulevard in Chilpancingo on Dec. 7 alongside a sign reading: "Soldiers who are supposedly fighting crime, and they turn out to be kidnappers. This is going to happen to you."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Beauty Queen Arrested for Traveling With Alleged Mobsters&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Chron.com (2), this story of a 23-year old beauty queen that should be a real hit in Mexican prisons:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Will her beauty fade in an orange prison jumpsuit?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The question now hangs over Laura Zuniga, 23, who emerged this summer as the reigning beauty queen of Sinaloa, the Mexican Pacific Coast state known for its stunning women and vicious gangsters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"She won Miss Hispanic America 2008 in a November pageant in Bolivia, placed third in the Miss Mexico contest and was heading to a global competition in Asia next year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"But Zuniga is ending the year in police custody after being arrested late Monday traveling with seven alleged mobsters, including a boyfriend identified by federal police as a top member of the so-called Juarez Cartel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Soldiers acting on a tip detained Zuniga and the seven men at a checkpoint as they cruised a Guadalajara suburb in two weapons-packed trucks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Her father told reporters in Culiacan, the Sinaloa state capital, that Zuniga told him she was going to a Christmas party.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The jailed beauty queen told police the group was heading for Colombia and Bolivia on "a shopping trip."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Most cocaine smuggled through Mexico to U.S. consumers comes from Bolivia or Colombia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Arrested along with Zuniga was Orlando Garcia Urquiza, whom Mexican federal police identified Tuesday as a top operator for the Carrillo Fuentes smuggling organization based in Ciudad Juarez, which borders El Paso."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These two stories make it clear that Mexico has all but descended into civil war and that drug cartels and beauty queens are poised to take over this miserable nation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet folks like George W. Bush would have us believe that Mexicans share American values and should be welcomed here, even if illegal, by the millions.

Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When labor unions were originally established in America, they provided blue collar workers with the much needed ability to level the playing field with corporate moguls who worshipped the bottom line, but who had little or no regard for those whose sweat made corporate profits possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In that environment, labor unions provided a positive and vital service on behalf of working people. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately, union leaders fell victim to the same myopic vision and greed that had dominated the management class. Affiliations with organized crime added to the corruption of the labor movement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No longer a positive force working for labor, most unions have become enemies of working people as a result of wage and benefits demands that drive employers to outsourcing and moving businesses to foreign nations for meeting labor needs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The collapse of the domestic auto industry is an excellent example.  Labor unions, in conjunction with mindless Democrats, who impose needless environmental regulations on business, have driven the Big Three to the brink of extinction with demands that render GM, Chrysler, and Ford non-competitive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blue-collar workers need to realize that labor unions are responsible for destroying the industries that provide jobs and income.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The solution is to make union membership a voluntary choice and make elections open and transparent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If working class Americans are to have any hope for better times, they must work to remove the yoke of labor unions that has become just as detrimental to their well being as was the unchecked tyranny of management from years ago.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-7662088985547971955?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/7662088985547971955'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/7662088985547971955'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2008/12/myopic-vision-greed-doom-auto-workers.html' title='Myopic Vision, Greed Doom Auto Workers'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SU1aQEBoveI/AAAAAAAACyw/7dqZam_I5tI/s72-c/unionpigsgif' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-1359002573264470405</id><published>2008-12-18T20:12:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-18T20:16:50.818-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Arnold Terminates Democrat Scheme to Raise Taxes</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SUsgJfls56I/AAAAAAAACuE/wot4W7PiO5c/s1600-h/taxes"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 143px; height: 101px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SUsgJfls56I/AAAAAAAACuE/wot4W7PiO5c/s400/taxes" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281350335492581282" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By John W. Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For a couple of hours Thursday afternoon, gooey-eyed Democrats thought they had devised a clever scheme to side step California's Constitution, which requires that tax increases must be approved by two-thirds of the state legislature. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What exactly was the brilliant Democrat Plan? Instead of calling taxes what they are, the lefties called them "fees," which supposedly does not require two-thirds approval.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With that sort of chicanery in their hearts, these politicians from the left passed a bill that would cut some costs but also increase taxes at a time when the economy is recession.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Democrats passed their  "government by parsing" bill without any support from Republicans, and then it rushed over to the governor's mansion.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Deluded Democrats who thought that Schwarzenegger would actually sign their fiscal folly into law were not kept in suspense for long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Within just a couple of hours, the governor announced that the bill was "dead on arrival," and that he would veto it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As reported at Capitol Notes the governor said the following, (1):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I was very disappointed," Schwarzenegger said. He then went on to say that the plan never met his definition of a solid economic stimulus, and rattled off a list that Capitol watchers have been hearing about since last night, like not enough public-private partnerships, and not enough public works projects exempted from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It is one thing when you say economic recovery package," he said. "But when you read through it, it actually doesn't do anything."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bravo to the governor for his swift and firm rejection of this smug attempt to replace fiscal prudence with clever word smithing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When it comes to higher taxes, state Democrats would do well to emulate President-elect Obama who concedes that raising taxes hinders economy recovery during bad economic times.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Republicans have a plan titled,  "Republican Special Session Budget Plan," which includes $6.5 billion in revenue measures and $16.5 billion n spending reductions. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Together, these Republican-proposed actions would reduce the budget deficit by $22 billion-- without tax hikes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition, the Republican plan proposes positive structural reform to ensure that California will never again face a devastating budget shortfall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;California's best hope for solving the current budget crisis and avoiding similar pain in the future is found in the Republican Special Session Budget Plan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Link:  (1)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://blogs.kqed.org/capitalnotes/2008/12/18/it-fell-short-on-every-single-level/&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-1359002573264470405?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/1359002573264470405'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/1359002573264470405'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2008/12/arnold-terminates-democrat-scheme-to.html' title='Arnold Terminates Democrat Scheme to Raise Taxes'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SUsgJfls56I/AAAAAAAACuE/wot4W7PiO5c/s72-c/taxes' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-1128222379621463790</id><published>2008-12-18T10:51:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-18T10:51:56.842-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Cailfornia Democrats Need to Face Reality on Tax Increases</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;By John W.

Nixon the White House and, ultimately, cost John F. Kennedy his life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Illinois is the state that gave America Dan Rostenkowski, a Democrat who is the most prominent lawmaker ever to go to prison for official corruption.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, Illinois is also the state that gave America Barack Obama, an illegal alien Marxist who specializes in voter fraud through ACORN.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A note to those who will vote when the Electoral College convenes on December 15:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The arrest of Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich is a clear smoke signal and red flag to America and our way of life.  Do not trust any politician from Illinois.  Instead, install Governor Sarah Palin as the 44th president and, to keep the matter fair and balanced, let Joe Biden serve as her vice president.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;America can simply not afford to allow a politician from Illinois to occupy the White House!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-968443579317242420?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/968443579317242420'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/968443579317242420'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2008/12/america-must-not-trust-any-politician.html' title='America Must Not Trust ANY Politician from Illinois!'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/ST6i9PsEN7I/AAAAAAAACrs/IinDimOcwcE/s72-c/obamacigarette.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-5229389196968734018</id><published>2008-12-09T08:09:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-09T08:11:07.149-08:00</updated><title type='text'>BREAKING NEWS: Democrat Governor of Illinois Arrested!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/ST6YaZRrtjI/AAAAAAAACrk/55F2X6IfTwk/s1600-h/blagojevichx-mug-shot.jpeg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 100px; height: 140px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/ST6YaZRrtjI/AAAAAAAACrk/55F2X6IfTwk/s400/blagojevichx-mug-shot.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277823392553874994" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By John W. Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From &lt;em&gt;USA Today,&lt;/em&gt; this startling story: ***&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"CHICAGO — Democratic Gov. Rod Blagojevich was arrested Tuesday at his home on corruption charges, including allegations that he solicited bribes to fill the vacated Senate seat of President-elect Barack Obama. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The governor's chief of staff, John Harris, was also arrested, according to U.S. Attorney's office spokesman Randall Samborn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blagojevich, 51, who has been the subject of a five-year federal probe, is charged with conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and solicitation of bribery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The breadth of corruption laid out in these charges is staggering," said U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald in a statement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"They allege that Blagojevich put a 'for sale' sign on the naming of a United States Senator; involved himself personally in pay-to-play schemes with the urgency of a salesman meeting his annual sales target; and corruptly used his office in an effort to trample editorial voices of criticism," Fitzgerald said. "The citizens of Illinois deserve public officials who act solely in the public's interest, without putting a price tag on government appointments, contracts and decisions."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Throughout the long investigation, the governor has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A 76-page FBI affidavit alleged that Blagojevich was intercepted on court-authorized wiretaps during the last month "conspiring to sell or trade" the seat vacated by Obama "for financial benefits for himself and his wife." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It alleged that, Blagojevich, on various occasions, discussed exchanging the Senate appointment for:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• A substantial salary for himself at a either a non-profit foundation or an organization affiliated with labor unions;&lt;br /&gt;• Placing his wife on paid corporate boards where he speculated she might garner as much as $150,000 a year;&lt;br /&gt;• Promises of campaign funds — including cash up front; &lt;br /&gt;• A cabinet post or ambassadorship for himself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The statement alleged that as recently as last week, the governor told an adviser that he might "get some (money) up front, maybe" from a potential senate candidate, to make sure that the candidate kept a promise to raise money for Blagojevich's re-election.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blagojevich was elected governor in 2002.

He received his medical and psychiatric training at the University of Chicago."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clearly, Dr. Rossiter is on to something!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=56494"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;em&gt;** Source:&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-4958788746902736623?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/4958788746902736623'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/4958788746902736623'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2008/11/acclaimed-psychiatrist-liberals.html' title='Acclaimed Psychiatrist: Liberals &quot;Politically Mad&quot;'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-1201365619302041929</id><published>2008-11-04T08:19:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-04T08:21:35.061-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Kakistos Comments on SF Insanity</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SQuitySTNxI/AAAAAAAACf8/ZlTQlAFVtKE/s1600-h/newsomeansdpink"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 112px; height: 150px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SQuitySTNxI/AAAAAAAACf8/ZlTQlAFVtKE/s400/newsomeansdpink" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263479496988899090" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Satire By John Kakistos Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SAN FRANCISCO (LIL)&lt;/strong&gt; -- A Muslim cleric in Pakistan was poised to give Allah's blessings to Mohammad Waseem, seven years old, and his bride Nishain Karachi, five, who were about to be joined in eternal marital bliss, or until they reached puberty, whichever came first.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, it all came tumbling down when party pooping police raided the ceremony and arrested the Muslim cleric and the parents of the two children  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Television footage showed both children in traditional wedding clothes in the laps of policemen after the raid – the girl with tears running down her cheeks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source**&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There you go!  Even as young as five years old, females hate to let go once they get their hooks locked into an available male!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pakistan law forbids marriage below the age of 18, a law that Mayor Gavin Newsom of San Francisco described as "discriminatory, damnable, and damaging" to the civil rights of seven year old boys and five year old girls all across the globe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mayor Newsom immediately sent a text message to the young victims of Pakistan's archaic laws and invited the children, their parents, and the 100 wedding guests to visit San Francisco where he, the mayor, would be honored to marry the brats on the steps of San Francisco City Hall.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Love must never be denied because of intolerant laws and bigoted minds," said Newsom, who added that gay weddings are terrific, but limited by the small population of gay lovers, estimated at 10 percent in the general population, and 70-90 percent in this din of inequity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apparently, the volume of gay marriages has petered out since the California Supreme Court legalized same sex weddings last June.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That has cut into Newsom's bottom line which is why he is willing to marry the young Pakistanis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Da Mayor needs the $30.00 wedding fee, and said he may have to start accepting straight weddings if things don't pick up real soon! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source**&lt;br /&gt;http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/article1879208.ece&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-1201365619302041929?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/1201365619302041929'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/1201365619302041929'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2008/11/kakistos.html' title='Kakistos Comments on SF Insanity'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SQuitySTNxI/AAAAAAAACf8/ZlTQlAFVtKE/s72-c/newsomeansdpink' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-691160839460273830</id><published>2008-11-03T08:39:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-03T08:44:10.143-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Voting for Obama Not an Option for Informed Americans!</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By John W. Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to conventional wisdom (liberal propaganda) unless you vote for Barack Obama, you are a racist. In truth, you may not have a racist bone in your body, you may have worked for equality and basic human rights all of your life. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, you may even be black yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pause for a moment of truth and clarity: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not voting for Barack Obama is the patriotic duty of all who really care about America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Consider these factors before voting for the man who would bring radical CHANGE that would destroy America:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Has no experience or accomplishments to his credit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Believes that bankrupting industry is a legitimate function of government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Believes that government should decide who has too much and who has too little wealth, and should be authorized to forcibly take assets from one citizen and give them to other citizens, to non-citizens, and even illegal aliens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Was wrong about the Surge in Iraq.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;5. History of associating with domestic terrorists, a racist pastor,  Lewy Farrakhan, and corrupt business thugs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Worked for ACORN and, as recently as this year, has given that voter-fraud group $800,000.00.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Endorsed by the likes of Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, the speaker of the Iranian parliament,  and other avowed enemies of America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8.  Is a Marxist with dubious documentation to support his claim to be an U.S. citizen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. Used illegal drugs in his youth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. Would meet unconditionally with terrorist sponsoring nations like Iran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11. Believes that terrorist groups like Hamas have "legitimate causes" and that U.S. policy is at least partially to blame for 9/11.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To liberals, none of the above matters because Barack Obama is black, and, according to the left, we Americans are morally obligated to elect a black man to atone for 250years of abuse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Forget the fact that electing Barack Obama will bring great misery to the entire nation, including blacks, and may very well spell the end to the most prosperous and generous society in human history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;None of that matters because liberals and the mainstream media are unrelenting in preaching that a vote for anyone other than Barack Obama is racist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With all due respect to those who believe such nonsense, I intend to vote for someone other than Obama. That decision is based on my belief that Obama is not the most qualified person running for the presidency.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fact that Obama is an African-American is irrelevant. I believe that his policies are not what America needs at this time, and, given his ideological bent, I would not vote for Obama if he were white, yellow, red, brown, or a baffling mix of all of the above.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama's policies are simply wrong for America, regardless of his skin pigmentation!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-691160839460273830?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/691160839460273830'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/691160839460273830'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2008/11/voting-for-obama-not-option-for.html' title='Voting for Obama Not an Option for Informed Americans!'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-2213037875484408731</id><published>2008-11-01T07:55:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-11-01T08:49:59.661-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Mighty Marxists from Little ACORNs Grow!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SQxulBizy8I/AAAAAAAACgM/hHYn7tjN-SY/s1600-h/acorn"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 286px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SQxulBizy8I/AAAAAAAACgM/hHYn7tjN-SY/s400/acorn" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263703646837918658" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By John W.

Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apparently Barack Obama's hypnotic trace and mesmerizing witchcraft have failed to convince at least one thinking European that he is the "promised one," come to lead the world into daylight after eight devastating years of  fog under George W. Bush.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to a story in Haaretz.com**, "French President Nicolas Sarkozy is very critical of U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama's positions on Iran:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Sarkozy has made his criticisms only in closed forums in France. But according to a senior Israeli government source, the reports reaching Israel indicate that Sarkozy views the Democratic candidate's stance on Iran as "utterly immature" and comprised of "formulations empty of all content."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Empty of all content and immature?  Where have we heard that before?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, that was Hillary Clinton's assessment of the fake Messiah last summer. Of course, she was simply being a racist pig for telling the truth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, anyone who has listened carefully to the words emanating from Obama will discover that the French President finally got one right: Obama is an immature empty suit. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He is woefully long on style, but lacking in substance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The story at Haaretz.com continues, "Until now, the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany have tried to maintain a united front on Iran. But according to the senior Israeli source, Sarkozy fears that Obama might 'arrogantly' ignore the other members of this front and open a direct dialogue with Iran without preconditions."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again, seeing Obama as a threat to 'arrogantly' jump in bed with terrorist nations is an astute observation that resonates fully with Americans who fear that Obama is not sophisticated enough to effectively represent American interests in the shark-filled waters of foreign policy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The same shortcomings in Obama's Iran policy also permeate his ideas on the economy, spreading the wealth, abortion, immigration, race relations, and other major issues of the day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As painful as it may be to agree with the French on anything, when it comes to Obama's immaturity, arrogance, and empty content rhetoric, President Sarkozy has a message that all Americans should be aware of!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;**Source&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1031943.html&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-7689115578565472950?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/7689115578565472950'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/7689115578565472950'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2008/10/french-president-obama-utterly-immature.html' title='French President: Obama Utterly Immature, Empty of Content!'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SQc0qMO_O6I/AAAAAAAACd0/M1HsDcd4ai0/s72-c/sarkonzy.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-3612078829274117969</id><published>2008-10-27T17:41:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-27T17:47:46.069-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Voting: Patriotic Act, Or Getting In Touch With One's Inner Racist?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SQZgCC5_IEI/AAAAAAAACdk/7c6mzeQy7h4/s1600-h/flag"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 135px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SQZgCC5_IEI/AAAAAAAACdk/7c6mzeQy7h4/s400/flag" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261998802885091394" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By John W. Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Coming into this election cycle, it was my naive belief that voting was a civic responsibility, a right worth fighting and dying for. I was taught that hundreds of thousands of honorable American men and women gave their very lives and health so that we the people would be free to choose whom we wished to serve in our unique form of self-governance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I learn that all of my previous learning was nothing more than right-wing hate speech spread by Caucasian Christians who are not to be trusted.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition, I now understand that voting for anyone but Barack Obama automatically makes me a racist.  No questions asked, no chance for rebuttal, no opportunity to explain one's self.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unless you vote for Barack Obama, you are a racist. A bring back slavery and Jim Crow bigot, damn it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In truth, you may not have a racist bone in your body, you may have worked for equality and basic human rights all of your life. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, you may even be black yourself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, if you do not vote for Obama, you are a damnable racist with genealogy linking you via DNA to the likes of George Wallace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It matters not that Obama's sphere of influence includes domestic terrorists, racist pastors, screwy Lewy Farrakhan, and corrupt business thugs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It matters not that Obama once worked for ACORN and as recently as this year has given that voter-fraud group $800,000.00&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It matters not that Obama is endorsed by the likes of Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, the speaker of the Iranian parliament,  and other avowed enemies of America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It matters not that Obama is a Marxist with dubious documentation to support his claim to be an U.S. citizen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It matters not that Obama used illegal drugs in his youth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It matters not that Obama has no experience or major accomplishments to his credit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It matters not that Obama has said he would meet unconditionally with terrorist sponsoring nations like Iran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It matters not that Obama was wrong about the Surge in Iraq. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It matters not that Obama believes that terrorist groups like Hamas have "legitimate causes" and that U.S. policy is at least partially to blame for 9/11.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It matters not that Obama believes that government should decide who has too much and who has too little wealth, and that that same government should be authorized to forcibly take assets from one citizen and give them to other citizens, or to non-citizens and even illegal aliens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;None of the above matters because Barack Obama is black, and we Americans are morally obligated to elect a black man to atone for 250 years of abuse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Forget the fact that electing Barack Obama will bring great misery to the entire nation, including blacks, and may very well spell the end to the most prosperous and generous society in human history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;None of that matters because liberals and the mainstream media are unrelenting in preaching that a vote for anyone other than Barack Obama is racist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With all due respect to those who believe such nonsense, I intend to vote for someone other than Obama. That decision is based on my belief that Obama is not the most qualified person running for the presidency.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fact that Obama is an African-American is irrelevant. I believe that his policies are not what America needs at this time, and, given his ideological bent, I would not vote for Obama if he were white, yellow, red, brown, or a baffling mix of all of the above.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama's policies are simply wrong for America, regardless of his skin pigmentation!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-3612078829274117969?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/3612078829274117969'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/3612078829274117969'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2008/10/voting-patriotic-act-or-getting-in.html' title='Voting: Patriotic Act, Or Getting In Touch With One&apos;s Inner Racist?'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SQZgCC5_IEI/AAAAAAAACdk/7c6mzeQy7h4/s72-c/flag' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-5289295513252313016</id><published>2008-10-27T10:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-27T10:40:15.934-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Hang In There, Governor Palin?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SQX8h5ofhJI/AAAAAAAACdc/nKalybCLkbI/s1600-h/hangingsarach"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 175px; height: 131px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SQX8h5ofhJI/AAAAAAAACdc/nKalybCLkbI/s400/hangingsarach" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261889398988833938" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By John W.

Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Americans strive to recover from the devastating fraud perpetrated by Ashley Todd, a new unconfirmed report is about to explode.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is being whispered about that Ashley Todd is, in fact, an Obama operative and ACORN director whose job it was to create a major distraction for a few days to cover up important news concerning Obama's fraudulent birth certificate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Todd was also charged with diverting media coverage away from Joe the Plumber and his pesky bitching about Obama's communist plans for America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The distraction worked beautifully, as mainstream media have been obsessed with the  Ashley Todd hoax.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Media have even spinned the hoax as an ineloquent attempt by a psychotic racist to humiliate black men, that being Obama and Todd's alleged assailant who writes upside down and backwards when carving the letter "B" into an already repulsive face.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As of now, no mainstream media have had the guts to report that Todd's scheme was pre-planned to make it appear as though she were a demented surrogate for the McCain campaign.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, Obama is struggling silently to cover up legal appearances and Motions to Dismiss filed on his behalf.  With the aid and comfort of the liberal media, Obama is finding that no lie is too huge or insidious to hide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In another vile twist to this vile story, seasoned journalists are claiming that the Todd fraud should have been immediately recognized as such based on one outstanding fact:  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Obama anarchists have been instructed to use guns, not knives&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good point! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Consider, please: In order to counter his public image as a wuss, a bloke without the cojones that any American president must have to gain and maintain the upper hand against blood thirsty terrorists and brutal dictators, Barack Obama issued the following call to arms last June:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"If they (Republicans) bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun," Obama said, according to pool reports."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://briefingroom.thehill.com/2008/06/14/obama-no-surrender-if-they-bring-a-knife-to-the-fight-we-bring-a-gun/"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;GUNS&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clearly, the Messiah wants guns, not knives, to be used against Republicans!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sorry, Ashley, but it appears as though you are just not devious enough to lie for Obama and ACORN!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-832278886949174598?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/832278886949174598'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/832278886949174598'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2008/10/obama-thug-misplaces-gun-uses-knife.html' title='Obama Thug Misplaces Gun, Uses Knife Instead!'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SQHEbADH2_I/AAAAAAAACcc/sGoTgilEpTw/s72-c/knifeusedbyobamathug' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-1446631019267254907</id><published>2008-10-23T18:03:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-23T18:20:36.859-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Barack Hussein Obama Rocks With Islamofascists!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SQEf5hgOk4I/AAAAAAAACcU/bJ_Eu_-Qy3I/s1600-h/OMABAASBABYJIHADIST"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 164px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SQEf5hgOk4I/AAAAAAAACcU/bJ_Eu_-Qy3I/s400/OMABAASBABYJIHADIST" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260520912851997570" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By John W. Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still losing sleep over the fact that Barack Obama's past associations include domestic terrorists, racists, and corrupt business folk?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Regrettably, you can not expect your sleep to improve any time soon! This is so because the merry group of scalawags that support America's own non-citizen Jihadist has been joined by none other than Ali Larijani, speaker of the Iranian parliament. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Larijani told reporters that his government was "leaning more in favor of Barack Obama because he is more flexible and rational..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/oct/23/us-elections-iran-obama"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IRANBACKSOBAMA&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More flexible and rational than whom, Mr. Speaker? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An American hero who spent five years as a POW in North Vietnam and whom was subjected to daily torture and humiliation? One who honors the American flag and loves his nation?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With all due respect, sir, patriotic Americans are of the mind that Barack Obama is no more qualified to serve as our president than is your goof ball president, the dishonorable Mahmoud Ahmadinejad! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In all honesty, no one should give a damn about what the speaker of Iran thinks or says about anything. Just as is the case with his American counterpart, the perpetually confused Nancy Pelosi, Larijani does not give a tinker's damn about what is best for America and American citizens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unlike Pelosi, Larijani is not an active force in destroying America from within. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Independent voters and undecided patriots need to make note of the fact that Barack Hussein Obama is the choice of Islamofascists all across the globe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why? Because they know that the "World Citizen" will not fight for America or  our homeland security!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-1446631019267254907?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/1446631019267254907'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/1446631019267254907'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2008/10/barack-hussein-obama-rocks-with.html' title='Barack Hussein Obama Rocks With Islamofascists!'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SQEf5hgOk4I/AAAAAAAACcU/bJ_Eu_-Qy3I/s72-c/OMABAASBABYJIHADIST' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-2034539374490591299</id><published>2008-10-23T16:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-23T16:44:53.440-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Is Obama a Non-Citizen?

Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Phil J. Berg is hardly a member of any vast right wing conspiracy.  In fact, the gentleman from Philadelphia is an ardent supporter of Hillary Rodham Clinton, erstwhile candidate for the Democrat nomination for the presidency.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Notwithstanding his liberal pedigree, Phil J. Berg is hot on the trail of one Barack Obama, because Berg wishes to protect the American people from possibly electing a non-citizen to the most powerful office in the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In August, before Obama was officially nominated by the Democrat party, Mr. Berg filed a legal challenge to Obama's constitutional eligibility to occupy the Oval Office. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On October 23, Mr. Berg filed a &lt;strong&gt;Motion to Expedite Resolution of Berg V. Obama,&lt;/strong&gt; summarized directly below:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;" &lt;strong&gt;This motion argues that the facts have been established that Barack Obama is not constitutionally qualified to be elected or serve as President of the United States, and that the Court should issue a summary judgment as follows:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt; That Barack Hussein Obama a/k/a Barry Hussein Obama a/k/a Barack Dunham a/k/a Barry Dunham a/k/a Barack Soetoro a/k/a Barry Soetoro is not a “natural born” or “naturalized” United States citizen. &lt;br /&gt; That he is ineligible to run for and/or serve as President of the United States. &lt;br /&gt; That the Democratic National Committee be enjoined from naming Barack Hussein Obama, et al as the Democratic Presidential Candidate on the ballot. &lt;br /&gt; That the Democratic National Committee and Barack Hussein Obama, et al are enjoined from any further campaigning on behalf of Barack Hussein Obama, et al for Office of the Presidency. &lt;br /&gt; That Barack Hussein Obama’s, et al name be &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;removed from any and all ballots for the Office of the President of the United States."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bravo and well done Mr. Berg.  I would add just two items to the motion:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;       * &lt;strong&gt;That Barack be arrested immediately and deported to Kenya as soon as possible, and that Joe Biden be enjoined from taking Mr. Obama's place on the ballot or otherwise participating in the November 4 election, except as an individual voter, and&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        * &lt;strong&gt;That John McCain, based on the preponderance of information available this date, be declared the next President of the United States and that Governor Sarah Palin be declared his Vice President, effective with administration of the Oath of office to said parties on January 20, 2009.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See link for more details.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.obamacrimes.com/index.php/component/content/article/1-main/41-phil-j-berg-files-motions-to-expedite-resolution-in-berg-v-obama"&gt;OBAMACRIMES&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hang on folks--this could get &lt;em&gt;real&lt;/em&gt; interesting!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;jwl/pgw&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-2034539374490591299?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/2034539374490591299'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/2034539374490591299'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2008/10/is-obama-non-citizen-clintonista-wants.html' title='Is Obama a Non-Citizen?

Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hilarity is the operative term  whenever liberals  try to make an issue out of spending, either personally or by government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The latest example is the comical  reaction of the left to  the upgrade of Governor Palin's wardrobe, reportedly costing the Republican party $150,000.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To begin with, of course, is the  fact that the tab for this wardrobe enhancement is not, we repeat not, a taxpayer funded expenditure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The second point is that Governor Palin is such a drop-dead beauty that crowing her with the most pricey and luxurious clothing available is not only appropriate, but it is actually also mandatory when dealing with such an exceptional person.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Granted,  if we are talking about Michelle Obama, Nancy Pelosi, or Hillary Clinton,  it would make sense to limit spending to less than $150.00. Far less, in fact.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"Cast not pearls before swine," &lt;/strong&gt;as a savant of the Middle East said over 2,000 years ago, and when it comes to Democrats we are not talking about pearls!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, when it comes to Governor Palin, no cost should be spared. This is the most glamorous and intelligent woman in national politics and, as such, she deserves whatever adornment she fancies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi, let these beauty-adverse old crows dress in minimum wage clothing, emblematic of their roots with the unwashed masses!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-4363470134720923170?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/4363470134720923170'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/4363470134720923170'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2008/10/governor-palins-awesome-beauty.html' title='Governor Palin&apos;s Awesome Beauty Justifies Every Penny of That $150,000!'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SQD0o9qeYBI/AAAAAAAACcE/s0ZgvefLVM0/s72-c/palinalaskamag.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-4805597348797798870</id><published>2008-10-23T08:14:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-23T08:19:15.643-07:00</updated><title type='text'>A "Righteous Wind," Or Hot Air from Beelzebub?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SQCVppurWYI/AAAAAAAACb8/o8ejFsmR0UU/s1600-h/righteouswind.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 360px; height: 400px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SQCVppurWYI/AAAAAAAACb8/o8ejFsmR0UU/s400/righteouswind.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260368907577547138" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By John W.

Now this non-citizen communist has conscripted Mother Nature into his army of Change soldiers. Best to acquiesce than be labeled as an ill wind that blows racist, right Mum Nature?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Of course, what the candidate deliberately neglected to say was that that  "righteous wind" has been helped along by ACORN voter fraud; a liberal-biased, anything but objective, mainstream media; dishonest assignment of blame for the economic collapse onto Republicans; and an electorate intent on committing mass suicide by consuming copious amounts of  Kool-Aid dispensed by a fake Messiah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That "righteous wind" is actually a blast of hot air sent by evil forces to destroy American democracy and our way of life!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;JWL/PGW&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-4805597348797798870?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/4805597348797798870'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/4805597348797798870'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2008/10/righteous-wind-or-hot-air-from.html' title='A &quot;Righteous Wind,&quot; Or Hot Air from Beelzebub?'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SQCVppurWYI/AAAAAAAACb8/o8ejFsmR0UU/s72-c/righteouswind.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-4570072872216844142</id><published>2008-10-23T00:17:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-23T00:34:23.747-07:00</updated><title type='text'>San Francisco Liberals Work (Unwittingly) to Ban Gay Marriage</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SQAnjW6Wo2I/AAAAAAAACb0/CVC52vW4YoI/s1600-h/newsomemarriage.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 278px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SQAnjW6Wo2I/AAAAAAAACb0/CVC52vW4YoI/s400/newsomemarriage.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260247853167977314" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By John W. Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;California's Proposition 8, if approved by voters on November 4, will add the following language to the state constitution: "Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Passage would eliminate the right of same-sex couples to marry, said right having been established as a result of a state supreme court ruling on May 22.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Throughout the year, Prop. 8 has lagged  in the polls.  However, recent polls indicate that Californians are having second thoughts. Passage now seems possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What caused the change in sentiment?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ironically enough, politicians and educators in San Francisco, who ardently support same-sex marriage, have sabotaged their own cause with reckless decisions and irresponsible behavior.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To begin with, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom arrogantly celebrated the May 22 court decision that legalized gay marriage by bombastically declaring, "This door's wide open now."  "It's going to happen, whether you like it or not."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Much to the chagrin of the leftist mayor, that unwise stint of in your face gloating was caught on video and is featured prominently in an ad by those who support Prop. 8. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other words, Mayor Newsom unwittingly became a star performer for those who wish to ban gay marriage!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clue less San Francisco educators added fuel to the fire started by Newsom with an equally bizarre move.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As reported in the San Francisco Chronicle in a story titled, &lt;em&gt;Class surprises &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;lesbian teacher on wedding day,&lt;/em&gt;  "A group of San Francisco first-graders took an unusual field trip to City Hall on Friday to toss rose petals on their just-married lesbian teacher - putting the public school children at the center of a fierce election battle over the fate of same-sex marriage."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/10/11/MNFG13F1VG.DTL&amp;type=politics&amp;tsp=1"&gt;SFGATE:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Naturally, news of this decision is being used by Prop. 8 supporters as proof that gay activists will ram their lifestyle down the throats of young children if gay marriage is allowed to stand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With folks like Mayor Gavin Newsom and San Francisco teachers around, proponents of Prop. 8 can simply wait for the next wave of incomprehensible stupidity to surface, and then make sure that the voting public is informed of that stupidity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bottom line: Over reaching by San Francisco liberals may turn out to be enough to end the right of same-sex couples to marry in California.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-4570072872216844142?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/4570072872216844142'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/4570072872216844142'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2008/10/san-francisco-liberals-work-unwittingly.html' title='San Francisco Liberals Work (Unwittingly) to Ban Gay Marriage'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SQAnjW6Wo2I/AAAAAAAACb0/CVC52vW4YoI/s72-c/newsomemarriage.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-1351133501941525304</id><published>2008-10-22T17:57:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-22T18:03:51.800-07:00</updated><title type='text'>"Dewey Defeats Truman," Harbinger of  2008?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SP_MU2sZ5_I/AAAAAAAACbs/BFXshFMmBsg/s1600-h/trumandefeats.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 310px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SP_MU2sZ5_I/AAAAAAAACbs/BFXshFMmBsg/s400/trumandefeats.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260147548443240434" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By John W. Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sixty years ago, America held a presidential election that most pundits forecast as a win for Thomas E. Dewey over Harry S. Truman who ascended to the presidency when Franklin Roosevelt died in 1945.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even back then, the media could not be trusted to do their jobs by reporting the news.  So it was that the first edition of the Chicago Tribune on November 3, 1948 blared that, "Dewey Defeats Truman," which is still noteworthy because it was exactly backwards from the actual results.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tribune reporter Arthur Sears Henning also reported that the Republicans had captured both the House and the Senate and could be counted on to have their way with the minority-party Democrats.  That was also dead wrong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here in 2008, the mainstream media has all but declared, "Obama Defeats McCain," two weeks before most voting even starts.

Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After suffering through eight years  of woeful presidential inexperience and incompetence with George W. Bush, why would any reasonable American vote for a candidate who is just as incompetent and inexperienced &lt;em&gt;and &lt;/em&gt;whom is also of dubious character and questionable patriotism?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To those not motivated by racism, it is perfectly clear that Governor Palin is far more qualified for the presidency than are Barack Obama and Joe Biden &lt;em&gt;combined&lt;/em&gt;!   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, yes, we know that Governor Palin is not running for the presidency!  However, one can get this terrific conservative as close as is humanly possible to the Oval Office by holding one's nose and punching the ballot for John McCain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To her credit, Governor Palin has rescued McCain from the Arizona wilderness and back into contention with her latest strategy of attacking Barack Obama directly. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;Palin Principle &lt;/strong&gt; is starting to pay big dividends! In fact, according to the latest AP Poll, McCain-Palin has pulled even with the Obama-Biden team just two weeks before the election.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D93VM4PO0&amp;show_article=1"&gt;AP POLL:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Americans still undecided about whom to vote for need to ask if it makes sense to vote for a candidate with the following profile:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SP-GGWInGYI/AAAAAAAACbk/YZf0c13csyQ/s1600-h/obamacommie.bmp"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SP-GGWInGYI/AAAAAAAACbk/YZf0c13csyQ/s400/obamacommie.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260070333371062658" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*History of palling around with unrepentant domestic terrorists like Bill Ayers who bombed the Pentagon;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Believes that terrorist groups have  "legitimate causes" for violent behavior; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*States that Sept. 11 attacks were, in part, a result of U.S. policy;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Long time parishioner at a church where the pastor blamed America for 9/11 and shouted "GD America" from the pulpit;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Refuses to honor the American flag, Star Spangled Banner and other important American symbols;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Associate of corrupt racketeer and convicted felon Tony Rezko. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Former leader and current financial contributor to ACORN, a left-wing group committed to voter fraud as a means for electing Democrats;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Wants to "spread the wealth" and take other steps to convert America to a communist state, and&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*May not even be a U.S. citizen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition to his character failings, Barack Obama is completely inexperienced with no executive background on his sparse resume.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Awaken America!

The Daytime TV dynamo has even offered up her studio space in Chicago. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"She's been begging Obama to let her help," a source explains.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://drudgereport.com/flashoo.htm"&gt;Drudge&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course producing an ad is not the same as sitting down with a candidate face to face. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still, it appears as though Oprah is guilty of hypocrisy of the highest order.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Perhaps fans of the Oprah show should refuse to watch said show until Ms. Winfrey demonstrates a less biased approach?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-8934696353591667931?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/8934696353591667931'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/8934696353591667931'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2008/10/oprah-bends-own-rules-to-help-obama.html' title='Oprah Bends Own Rules to Help Obama'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SP4g9cm-jDI/AAAAAAAACas/pnI68aa-pOA/s72-c/obamaoprah.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-4470934241715273313</id><published>2008-10-21T06:49:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-21T07:05:04.951-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Colin Powell's "So What?"

Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The question, "Is Barack Obama a Muslim?" is perfectly reasonable in light of the fact that Obama has three Muslim names and has family connections in the Muslim nation of Kenya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even more relevant, Obama's pastor of 20 years blamed America for 9/11 and shouted "GD America!" during a religious service.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Had John McCain been in attendance during such a pastoral outrage, he would almost certainly have left the premises immediately and denounced the pastor's hateful anti-American tirade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lest we allow political correctness to gloss over  truth, remember that 9/11 was planned and executed by Muslims.  While it is true that not all Muslims are terrorists, it is also true that nearly all terrorists are Muslims.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Americans have a legitimate right, make that obligation, to be concerned about a presidential aspirant who seems to have forgotten, or chooses to ignore, that America was attacked by Muslim terrorists on 9/11.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-4470934241715273313?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/4470934241715273313'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/4470934241715273313'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2008/10/colin-powells-so-what-misses-point.html' title='Colin Powell&apos;s &quot;So What?&quot; Misses the Point'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SP3gHaEF6dI/AAAAAAAACac/FU2ceb1-IFM/s72-c/obamanewyorkers.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-1524933687118754592</id><published>2008-10-20T19:18:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-20T19:41:24.297-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Joe Biden Guarantees "Disaster" If Obama Is Elected!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SP087XiupDI/AAAAAAAACZ8/2mIie4vFE9E/s1600-h/bidenrash.bmp"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SP087XiupDI/AAAAAAAACZ8/2mIie4vFE9E/s400/bidenrash.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259426930468234290" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By John W. Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After raking John McCain and Sarah Palin over the coals for the negativity of the election campaign, Senator Joseph Biden decided to bring some cheer to the fray.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He did so by warning that, if elected, President Obama would be tested by a major international disaster.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just what exactly did you have in mind, Senator?  A terrorist attack? Further collapse of the U.S.  economy? A violent outburst from a disgruntled Hillary Clinton?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actually, Biden has hit on a real conundrum for liberals: With George W. Bush consigned to tumbleweed patches in Texas, who will Democrats blame for hurricanes, the stock market, global warming, the recession, and wars hither and yonder? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ye won't have good old W to kick around anymore, BO!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ball will be in your court, and double dribbling is not allowed.  You can no longer pass the ball to Republicans in order to shift blame.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back to the genteel and eloquent manner of speech that Biden is renowned for. He continued to rant and rave as follows:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Gird your loins," Biden told the crowd. "We're gonna win with your help, God willing, we're gonna win, but this is not gonna be an easy ride. This president, the next president, is gonna be left with the most significant task. It's like cleaning the Augean stables, man. This is more than just, this is more than – think about it, literally, think about it – this is more than just a capital crisis, this is more than just markets. This is a systemic problem we have with this economy."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/10/biden-to-suppor.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Augean stables? Sounds as though Biden is referring to the U.S. House where likes of Tom Mahoney, Charles Rangel, and William Jefferson have created a filthy mess.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hey wait a minute!  Didn't Speaker Pelosi promise to clean up the filth left by Republicans and their "Culture of Corruption"?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe it will take more than an incompetent grandmother and notorious liberal to clean the Augean mess that Democrats have made? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The real disaster will occur if the American people are foolish enough to elect a non-citizen  communist to serve as president!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-1524933687118754592?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/1524933687118754592'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/1524933687118754592'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2008/10/joe-biden-guarantees-disaster-if-obama.html' title='Joe Biden Guarantees &quot;Disaster&quot; If Obama Is Elected!'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SP087XiupDI/AAAAAAAACZ8/2mIie4vFE9E/s72-c/bidenrash.bmp' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-7434688520947199187</id><published>2008-10-20T13:12:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-20T13:20:30.172-07:00</updated><title type='text'>"Spread the Wealth," Thinking Caused Economic Meltdown</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SPzmkdjnSYI/AAAAAAAACZs/2j_gCmGI_F0/s1600-h/bailout.bmp"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SPzmkdjnSYI/AAAAAAAACZs/2j_gCmGI_F0/s400/bailout.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259331978945579394" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By John W. Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those who applaud Barack Obama's "spread the wealth" communist blatherings ignore the fact that pity pot communists in Washington, D.C., caused the economic meltdown which has terrorized America and the entire world for several weeks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Indeed, communists in Democrat clothing demanded that mortgage loans be approved and executed for people not qualified for home ownership.  Spreading the wealth meant a concentrated effort by government to provide housing for minorities and low income people by waiving prudent underwriting rules, regardless of risk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As it turns out, this latest example of "progressive" insanity cost American taxpayers more than a trillion dollars. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With progressive politicians  in charge, prudent underwriting was replaced by idiotic business practices based on the following: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't have money for a down payment? Of course you don't, because under the Republicans all the wrong people have the money!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, fret not, your Democrat Nanny will make an exception so that your family can get into that home without making a down payment, or by making a very small one.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't have good credit?  Again, good credit is vastly overrated, especially when it comes to minorities and low-income folks. Good grief, if government would only force employers to pay more money, everyone could pay their bills on time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't have stable employment?  So what else is new?  That is a given for minorities in racist America, especially in the disastrous Bush economy!  We understand!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't have enough income to qualify for a loan?  Again, racism takes a nasty toll. Once again, it is your Democrat Nanny who will force those evil lenders (mostly white Republicans!) to "expand" debt-to-income ratios, AND make your application a "stated income loan" so that all families can partake of the American Dream. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You say you are still worried about making those sky-high monthly payments? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Relax, Democrat Nanny will get you an "option arm" program that allows YOU to decide how much you pay each month!  Five years from now, this 1,200 square foot, two bedrooms, one bath home will be worth a million dollars, and you will be filthy rich!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, when you become rich please know that there is no good reason for becoming a Republican!  Remember your roots and always vote Democratic!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In America illegally? Fret not, &lt;em&gt;senoir and senoritta&lt;/em&gt;, your Democrat Nanny will force lenders to treat you as good, or even better than, American citizens!  Democrats will even demand that all of your documents be in Spanish, just in case one of you happens to be literate!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mind you, helping minorities and low income people is a good thing, if it works.  However, when progressive thinking forces borrowers into bankruptcy and or foreclosure, no one benefits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Granting loans to illegal aliens is sheer stupidity in all cases because such people are inherently unstable AND because funds used to help illegals should be spent on American citizens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spreading the wealth may sound good, but the idea of government seizing the wealth of one family and giving it to another family is immoral and un-American.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What would Jesus do?

Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To overly confident supporters of Barack Obama, Yogi Berra's "It ain't over 'till it over!" admonition seems perfectly appropriate right about now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Several recent developments indicate that the much-ballyhooed Obama presidency may turn out to be a disappointing fairy tale, just as Bill Clinton predicted in South Carolina last spring.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Item 1: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The FBI has opened a criminal investigation into alleged fraud by ACORN, the community organizing group that has been accused of registering Mickey Mouse and certain Dallas Cowboy football players as Democrats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Significantly, ACORN is manacled to the campaign of Barack Obama because of his direct affiliation with the group over the years, and his $800,000 check to the group.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Allegations of fraud are cropping up all across the nation and, depending on the results of the FBI probe, could dramatically alter the America public's perception of the entire Obama candidacy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://apnews.myway.com/article/20081016/D93RT3100.html"&gt;MYWAY:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Item 2: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A "traditional" Gallup likely voter model shows Obama and John McCain within two percentage points, well within the sampling error of the respected poll.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; In other words, notwithstanding polls issued by wings of the Democrat party, the candidates appear to be in a statistical dead heat, according to Gallup.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Item 3: &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ohio's Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, a Democrat, has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene after the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ordered her to set up a system that provides names of newly registered voters whose driver's license numbers or Social Security numbers don't match records in other government databases.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The idea is to detect and prevent voter fraud, a notion that has Democrats like Brunner in a terrified snit, especially since the information concerning 200,000 Ohioans is known to have discrepancies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Supreme Court ruling against Brunner would solidify the notion that Democrats are more interested in electing Obama than in assuring an honest, non-corrupt vote.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Combined with ACORN revelations, the Obama team could be on the ropes within a few days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Item 4:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some polls indicate that approximately seven percent of voters are still undecided. Those undecided votes could swing decisively toward John McCain, particularly if Obama 's involvement with ACORN and voter fraud is exposed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;---------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition, Obama's association with domestic terrorists, racists, corrupt business people and other seedy characters has the potential to explode at any time with new revelations that could send the Messiah back to the U.S. Senate in a hurry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyone who knows politics knows that a fortnight is like an eternity.  The possibilities for a late October or even early November "surprise" are endless and could be devastating.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keep fighting the good fight, conservatives!  It ain't over until the Fat Lady sings!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right now, the Fat lady has an infected sore throat and is not likely to sing until some serious questions about Barack Obama are answered to the satisfaction of the American people!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-5072131137138418324?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/5072131137138418324'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/5072131137138418324'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2008/10/chins-up-conservatives-it-aint-over.html' title='Chins Up, Conservatives: It Ain&apos;t Over &apos;Till It&apos;s Over!'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SPgnwUc2ZAI/AAAAAAAACYs/C1wwJvAf3ac/s72-c/fat+lady+sings.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-5970806456105455745</id><published>2008-10-16T06:54:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-16T07:04:15.843-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Joe the Plumber's Important  Message to Obama</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SPdJFr6f3hI/AAAAAAAACYc/N6PuCcsvoWI/s1600-h/socialism"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SPdJFr6f3hI/AAAAAAAACYc/N6PuCcsvoWI/s400/socialism" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257751452014599698" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By John W.

However, Barack Obama and the Marxists who support him in the Democrat Party do not really understand Joe's message.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Given the opportunity to speak more expansively, Joe the plumber would probably say something like the following:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Senator Obama, I do not believe that you fully understand my point.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You see, most Americans come from families of very modest means. Very few 'average' Americans can afford a Harvard education and all of the financial and social benefits that come to people who can afford a world class education.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While you and your lovely wife are well educated lawyers who have no concerns about paying the mortgage or feeding your family or educating your children, that is not our world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We must work long and hard for everything just to survive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our world requires sacrifice and more sacrifice just to buy a home, provide for our children, plan for their education, and pay the local, state, and federal taxes we are already burdened with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our world requires working on tedious and boring jobs just to make ends meet each month.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite the drudgery of just surviving, we have made the sacrifices required. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have secured the vocational training needed to do our work. We give our employers an honest day of labor for an honest wage. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Through grit and non-ending sacrifice, we have improved ourselves and the prospects for a better future for our children. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Through hard work and sacrifice, we have achieved a very modest amount of "wealth."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now you, a millionaire attorney who lives in a large mansion, want to redistribute our 'wealth' at your discretion?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With all respect, senator, not only do you not understand average Americans, you simply do not understand why America is the greatest nation in human history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are elected president, senator, before rushing to convert America into a socialist nation, please answer the following question, honestly, to your own satisfaction:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Why has socialism failed in every nation in which it has been attempted?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All Americans should ask themselves that same question before turning this great nation over to a confirmed Marxist.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-5970806456105455745?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/5970806456105455745'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/5970806456105455745'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2008/10/joe-plumbers-important-message-to-obama.html' title='Joe the Plumber&apos;s Important  Message to Obama'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SPdJFr6f3hI/AAAAAAAACYc/N6PuCcsvoWI/s72-c/socialism' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-8072221920612316639</id><published>2008-10-15T00:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-15T01:13:19.194-07:00</updated><title type='text'>McCain Must Demand Resolution of ACORN Scandal Before Election</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SPWi4iX_JpI/AAAAAAAACX8/wDHqECrTT2Q/s1600-h/acorn"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SPWi4iX_JpI/AAAAAAAACX8/wDHqECrTT2Q/s400/acorn" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257287232208709266" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By John W. Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The aggravated assault on American democracy by Barack Obama's fan club(AKA, ACORN) is no longer a minor distraction that can be swept under the rug by the candidate and his colleagues. Voter fraud has exploded into a major national crisis, which threatens the very integrity of the November 4, election.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fraud by ACORN (registration so far) has been documented in Indiana, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Ohio, and Missouri so far, all of which would benefit Barack Obama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which brings up an intriguing question: Why are there no ACORNers to register Dumbo the Flying Elephant as the Republican answer to the left's Mickey Mouse? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why are the New England Patriots not signed up to offset Obama's advantage with the Dallas Cowboys?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The answer: Because Barack Obama has been directly affiliated with ACORN in the past, and has actually sent that organization $800,000.00. Voter fraud  is clearly an inside job being run by, and for,Obama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Decisive action must be taken immediately. The issue simply cannot wait for Democrats in the U.S. Congress to act after the election, when they will have stolen the White House and larger majorities in Congress as a result of crimes committed by ACORN activists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John McCain must take this issue directly to Barack Obama during the third presidential debate scheduled for Wednesday night. He must make it clear to 100 million Americans watching on television that the future of American democracy is at stake.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He must demand that ACORN be investigated and that any fraud discovered be expunged before the November 4 election. He must further demand that the election be postponed, if necessary, until resolution of ACORN fraud is complete.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;McCain will not find many Democrats sympathetic to a proposal that could cause the national election to be postponed at a time when their candidate appears to be pulling away in the polls. Such a proposal and the ensuing battle it would prompt could make the 2000 presidential election kerfuffel look like a walk in the park by comparison. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, there is no easy way out, given the stakes involved. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;McCain should add to the urgency of the moment by calling on President Bush to declare martial law until after the election. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just like the Democrats, McCain surely will find these actions distasteful. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unlike most Democrats, John McCain is a patriot and a hero. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The big question: Can America count on John McCain's patriotism and heroism during the nation's critical hour of need?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-8072221920612316639?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/8072221920612316639'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/8072221920612316639'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2008/10/mccain-must-demand-resolution-of-acorn.html' title='McCain Must Demand Resolution of ACORN Scandal Before Election'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SPWi4iX_JpI/AAAAAAAACX8/wDHqECrTT2Q/s72-c/acorn' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-1328655156868175256</id><published>2008-10-14T18:56:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-14T19:00:07.377-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Will Obama Abandon Israel If Elected?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SPVODG8dEDI/AAAAAAAACX0/TNIBRhWrR4E/s1600-h/jessereverend"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SPVODG8dEDI/AAAAAAAACX0/TNIBRhWrR4E/s400/jessereverend" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257193955335671858" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By John W.

Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barack Obama is, without question, one of the most charismatic candidates to raise hell on the national political scene in quite some time. Even some conservatives are buying Obama's  snake oil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, as the primary election results made abundantly clear, Obama's greatest asset is his appeal to black racists.  Indeed, blacks voted overwhelmingly for Obama over the only presidential candidate who was, and still is, married to America's first black president.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Given the Clinton's squeaky-clean record in support of African-American causes, why did so many blacks abandon Hillary Clinton and rush to vote for Obama?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because Obama is a real, skin-color solid African-American himself!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So it is that Martin Luther's King's dream for a color-blind society is being trashed by the very people and causes that King gave his life for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, the liberal media will not confront black racism with anywhere near the passion reserved for what is seen as racism by Caucasians.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Example: Democrat Tom Bradley, long time Mayor of Los Angeles and an African American, almost became the governor of California in 1982 in a race eventually won by conservative Republican George Dukmejian.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This race was so close that the headline in the &lt;em&gt;San Francisco Chronicle&lt;/em&gt; on the day after the election declared Bradley the victor!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In their zeal to install a black Democrat, leftists at the Chronicle had neglected one vital point: The actual vote count!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the endless post-election analysis, dejected liberals crafted a particularly offensive spin to explain the late turn of events in Dukmejian's favor. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Namely, it was last minute white racism that derailed Tom Bradley's claim on the governor's mansion!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to liberal knot heads, the fact that blacks voted overwhelmingly for the black candidate was perfectly understandable and acceptable. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, when it came to whites voting for a white candidate, we are talking big league racism and bigotry!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another example of Democrat-sponsored abuse of racism involves the debate concerning English versus Spanish. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to Democrats like Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, those who favor English as the official language of the United States are reprehensible racists who hate brown people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But if favoring one language over another is un-American, why in the hell are Hispanics who refuse to learn English not considered racists?  Especially since English is, and has been, the major language used in America for commerce, law, government, and education for well over 200 years?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is most unfortunate that the Democrat Party, in cahoots with the liberal media, has distorted and hijacked the term racism for partisan political purposes, with little or no regard for the facts involved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Including the fact that much of the support for Barack Obama comes from black racists.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-1090933951674177337?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/1090933951674177337'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/1090933951674177337'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2008/10/barack-obama-is-counting-on-black.html' title='Barack Obama Is Counting on Black Racists'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/R6nyDIMSe7I/AAAAAAAABCo/lgY5JMnU7F8/s72-c/blck+hnd.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-5996895715298924435</id><published>2008-10-14T06:40:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-14T07:10:51.349-07:00</updated><title type='text'>America Needs Commander-In-Chief, Not ACORN Organizer!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SPSn4ngU6TI/AAAAAAAACXs/C8Pfjty9K9Q/s1600-h/barack.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SPSn4ngU6TI/AAAAAAAACXs/C8Pfjty9K9Q/s400/barack.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257011256167295282" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt; By John W. Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have nearly 50 percent of the American people lost their collective minds all at the same time?  That seems to be the only thing that can explain the fact that Barack Obama is still in the presidential hunt and, in fact, may be leading.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How can anyone who even pretends to give a damn about America support this fellow?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, we all agree that Barack Obama is a charming, articulate fellow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, the American people would like to elect an African-American to atone for slavery, Jim Crow laws, and 200 years of discrimination.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, America has been mismanaged for eight years by a short-sighted man who should not have been elected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, notwithstanding all of these factors, the very future of our nation is at stake and the November 4 election must not be frittered away on a "feel good" gesture to an unqualified candidate who looks and sounds good until one actually analyzes his words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Consider these facts about Barack Obama:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*He has a history of associating with dangerous anti-American characters including William Ayers, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, and Tony Rezko.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*He has no executive experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*He is a Marxist who believes that government should define who is rich and who is poor,  and who believes that government should redistribute wealth from the haves to the have nots.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*He has sent $800,000 to ACORN, an organization that is known to be involved in voter fraud.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*He has no worthy accomplishments to his credit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*He may not even be a US Citizen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When it comes to protecting and defending the U.S.  Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic, and shielding 300 million Americans from harm, there is much more involved than doling out taxpayer money to homeless tramps, ex-felons, and felons-to-be in training, which is what community organizers do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barack Obama has spent most of his 47 years as a Community Organizer, working with unsavory characters like Weather Underground terrorist William Ayes, Islamofascist apologist Rev. Jeremiah Wright, and “Tony” Rezko, a Syrian immigrant who allegedly became a powerful political fixer in Chicago. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, yes, the Anointed One has also served in the United States Senate for four years, less the 20 months that he has spent campaigning for higher office.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being elected to the U.S. Senate does involve a commitment to one's constitutes and carries with it the expectation that the office holder will actually accomplish good things for the voters. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, to paraphrase America's most notorious "Inevitability Queen," when it comes to Barack Obama, one is forced to ask, "Where are the worthy accomplishments? Where are the achievements of note?"  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"What positive difference has Senator Barack Obama made for the people of Illinois, and/or for all Americans?"  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"What good that now exists, and which is directly attributable to Barack Obama, would not exist if he had remained a Community Organizer in Chicago?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hillary's rhetorical questions were really meant to highlight the fact that Obama has absolutely no record of experience or accomplishment that would qualify him to command the most powerful military force in human history, or to manage the most sophisticated and prosperous society ever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being "clean and articulate" is commendable, and may be enough for some hateful Democrats, but, in and of itself, is not sufficient reason to vote Obama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bottom Line: America does not need a community organizer as president.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What we urgently need is a man with the skills, experience, tenacity, toughness, and intelligence to serve as the United States Commander in Chief.  Visible battle scars a plus!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Community organizers without appropriate experience and credentials need not apply!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-5996895715298924435?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/5996895715298924435'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/5996895715298924435'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2008/10/america-needs-commander-in-chief-not.html' title='America Needs Commander-In-Chief, Not ACORN Organizer!'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SPSn4ngU6TI/AAAAAAAACXs/C8Pfjty9K9Q/s72-c/barack.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-6301510379885974671</id><published>2008-10-14T03:26:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-14T03:42:43.042-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Obama Association With Reverend Wright Reflects Lack of Character, Poor Judgment</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SADqu_2Df-I/AAAAAAAABPQ/y88DR3L_RQY/s1600-h/08-17-06.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SADqu_2Df-I/AAAAAAAABPQ/y88DR3L_RQY/s400/08-17-06.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188404863863848930" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/R96HjLg5RWI/AAAAAAAABJY/T5xYCk-Go10/s1600-h/abaracklie"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/R96HjLg5RWI/AAAAAAAABJY/T5xYCk-Go10/s400/abaracklie" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178725659978581346" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By John W. Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In his bid for the United States presidency, Barack Obama is asking the American people to entrust him with the present and future of our great nation. The issue is that simple and of that gravity.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;America cannot, must not, yield to the urge to elect an African-American or a woman candidate solely on the basis of  race or gender.  Sentimentality and "feel good" emotions have no place in the hostile and dangerous world in which we find ourselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which is precisely why Barack Obama's 20-year patronage of Reverend Jeremiah Wright is so alarming.  That patronage would be wrong for any average American; it is infinitely more problematic for one who would take on the responsibility of defending 300 million Americans as the nation's CEO and military commander-in-chief.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What if, God forbid, another 9/11 terrorist attack were to happen while President Barack Obama was presiding over the United States Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marines?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How would President Obama handle the counsel of Reverend Wright who said the following on September 16, 2001, five days after terrorists felled the Twin Towers?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America's chickens are coming home to roost."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Would President Obama simply shrug his shoulders and concede the point? Perhaps he would "comfort" the American people with a national fireside address:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"My fellow Americans, September 11 is a day that will live forever in infamy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For on that fateful date, America's chickens came home to roost.  Our terrorism  has earned God's retribution and wrath, as evidenced by the still-smoldering human flesh encapsulated in twisted steel at Ground Zero in New York City.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make no mistake about it, American policy and arrogance brought about the carnage in New York City.  We are to blame, completely and fully.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You the American people elected me to bring change to our government and our role in world affairs.  I intend to fulfill my commitment to change by altering the manner by which this nation responds to attacks on our soil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Accordingly, there will be no investigation into 9/11. No hyped up and exaggerated monument to honor those who were incinerated at the Twin Towers. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There will be no military response to the most justified assault in human history.  The armed forces will NOT be sent on missions of reprisal.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, I have ordered a full "Stand Down" to all U.S. military personnel throughout the globe.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moreover, I hereby apologize to Osama bin Laden, Al-Quaeda, and abused Muslims everywhere. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I declare that America is in complete agreement with the attacks of 9/11, since we understand that the U.S. is to blame and needed a wake-up call.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In an attempt to improve America's relations with Osama and other Islamic leaders, I have dispatched a diplomatic team of American foreign policy experts to strategic locations in Afghanistan to meet with those whom we have offended so gravely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This team consists of my personal spiritual advisors, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakham, and First Lady Michelle Obama.  These sterling citizens are authorized to speak on my behalf while engaged in the act of surrender.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Incidentally, this is the manner of change that you, the American people, elected me to implement!  I am proud and honored to surrender this nation's sovereignty and military might to a greater, more noble cause, &lt;em&gt;in your name.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In closing, let me share a telephone conservation I just had with Reverend Wright as he races toward Afghanistan in Air Force One.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Citing the gravity of the moment and the serious nature of his mission with Mr. Farrakham and Michelle, the reverend asked me to join him in a brief moment of prayer.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His prayer was, "God Dam America!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That, my fellow Americans, says it all, and it is why you elected me to be your president.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Farrakham and Michelle echoed Reverend Wright's sentiments, and Michelle added that for the first time in her adult life, she is proud of America!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good night, and God Dam America!"&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so it could be if America is reckless enough to elect Barack Obama!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-6301510379885974671?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/6301510379885974671'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/6301510379885974671'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2008/10/obamas-choice-of-spiritual-leaders-is.html' title='Obama Association With Reverend Wright Reflects Lack of Character, Poor Judgment'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SADqu_2Df-I/AAAAAAAABPQ/y88DR3L_RQY/s72-c/08-17-06.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-1632742124290417744</id><published>2008-10-13T13:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-13T13:25:29.165-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Pale Faced Dudes Can't Rap?

Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To experts and alleged experts of Rap music, the announcement was not a great surprise.  To the more casual observer, it was a shocker.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Hip Hip-Media Training, this story, in part, by Billy Johnson, Jr.: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"Last week Vibe magazine announced that Eminem had won its Best Rapper Alive competition, a NCAA-style tournament that pitted the "top" 64 MCs against each other. (See the list of the 64 nominees.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The online contest polled users over a 5-week period. During the first week, the 64 competing rappers were paired off and users were asked to select the best 32 artists. The second week, that group of 32 lyricists was also grouped in twos and the voters picked their favorite 16. Over the subsequent weeks, the list dwindled down to the last b-boys standing, Jay-Z and Eminem. Eminem won by a landslide of 69 percent, compared to Jay-Z's 31 percent."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/hiphopmediatraining/31863/best-rapper-alive-competition-feels-slim-shady/"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;VIBE:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eminem, the lily-white boy from Detroit is the Best Rapper Alive? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What next?

Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everyone has known for a long time that Joe Biden is a plagiarist. That inconvenient truth was exposed a few years ago during an earlier, failed presidential campaign.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus, some were surprised when Barack Obama selected Biden as his running matter.  Biden's honesty, judgment, character, and literacy were sure to be questioned during the heat of a close race for the White House; so why provide the opposition with answers not favorable to the ticket?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As it turns out, Barack Obama may have been cavalier about  Biden's unethical abuse of the written word because of similar skeletons lurking about in the Messiah's own closet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Specifically, in a scholarly analysis of "Dreams from My Father," a book that Barack Obama claims to have written, Jack Cashill concludes,  &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;'The emergence of a previously unseen writing sample proves all but conclusively that Barack Obama did not in any meaningful way write 'Dreams from My Father,' the book Time Magazine has called 'the best-written memoir ever produced by an American politician.'

Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I happen to believe that Sarah Palin can pull this puppy out, despite the best efforts of John McCain and George W. Bush. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, IF the American people willfully partake of Barack Obama's Kool-aid on November 4, America will &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;NOT &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;cease to exist the next day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Earth will &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;NOT &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;fall into a leftward tilt and spin out of orbit, sending all six billion of us to our deaths in one helacious purging of humankind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It will just seem that way for a while, especially if Democrats steal enough seats in the U.S. Senate to thwart filibusters.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still, even if Barack Obama wins the White House and Democrats gain bulletproof majorities in the Congress, all is not lost.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This too shall pass!  Just like a bad stomachache or a wretched bout of diarrhea. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To begin with, liberals are just stupid enough to believe that America is craving a return to liberal policies.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to folks like Barack Obama, Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid, Americans want higher taxes, $10 a gallon gasoline, never-ending dependence on Middle East oil, greater vulnerability to terrorism, open borders, and a president who thinks that being a good citizen of the world is more important than being a red-blooded patriotic American.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Liberals actually believe that Americans do not care about patriotism, family values, and religious faith. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rubbish!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The good news: Because liberals mistakenly believe that voter outrage is a rejection of conservative values, they will inevitably go too far and will resurrect policies that the American people simply do not favor, and, in fact, loathe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The truth of the matter is that voters are livid with rage at RINOs like George W. Bush who have abandoned conservative values and responsible governance.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Make no mistake about it: Conservatives will suffer greatly, but probably only for two years.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mid-term elections will take place in 2010, and if Obama and the Democrats overreach as much as expected, conservatives should be perfectly poised to take back sufficient seats in the House and Senate to keep Obama in his box until the end of his first (and only) term in 2012.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;November 5 will not mark the end of the Reagan Revolution; rather, it will mark the start of Phase 11 of that epic battle. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If &lt;strong&gt;real &lt;/strong&gt;conservatives--not just Republicans, mind you, but &lt;strong&gt;real&lt;/strong&gt; conservatives--live up to conservative ideals, we may very well be celebrating the permanent and total demise of liberalism four short years from now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fret not, fellow conservatives! Instead approach the future with hope and optimism, knowing that when conservative values are applied with due diligence, they work.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As will be made abundantly clear if worse comes to worse, the exact opposite is true with the failed ideology called liberalism.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-137704718304509109?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/137704718304509109'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/137704718304509109'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2008/10/world-will-not-end-on-nov-5-it-will.html' title='The World Will &lt;strong&gt;NOT&lt;/strong&gt; End on Nov. 5: It Will Just Seem That Way!'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SPGTYBd3v6I/AAAAAAAACWk/9jvPnFZW3JQ/s72-c/flag' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-846832269950553610</id><published>2008-10-11T21:14:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-11T21:17:53.202-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Don't Mess With Texas!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SPF6RogngYI/AAAAAAAACWc/YqUKrrxN6HE/s1600-h/lethalinjection.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SPF6RogngYI/AAAAAAAACWc/YqUKrrxN6HE/s400/lethalinjection.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5256116683468669314" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By John W.

Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looking for a good, safe stock to sink your dollars into? If so,  "google" clothes pin manufacturing and get ready to make a bundle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A boom in clothes pin sales is guaranteed as millions of Republicans, conservatives, and other reasonable Americans are forced to decide between a socialist government headed by John McCain or a Marxist regime organized by Barack Obama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Attaching a clothes pin or two to one's nose is the only way to vote for John McCain without losing one's last meal and claim to innocence in the seclusion of a voting booth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My election waterloo came Wednesday afternoon when my absentee November 4 ballot arrived.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In elections subsequent to 1992 and before 2004, my first act was to immediately flip to the presidential ticket choices and fill in the box next to the Republican. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until 2004, voting a straight Republican ticket was the moral, spiritual, and patriotic thing to do.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Regrettably, George W. Bush and John McCain changed all that, and have made the R option more and more painful to execute.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So painful that this year I chose to ponder local and state issues before deciding the presidential question. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Therefore, Wednesday evening was spent in deep thought about these issues:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Shall I knowingly authorize Santa Clara county to issue $84,000,000 in bonds and raise my property taxes to pay for said bonds?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My vote: No, and hell no!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Shall I vote to stop agribusiness tycoons from cramming farm animals into cages so small that the animals cannot even turn around or stretch their limbs&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My Vote:  California's so-called leaders just passed a budget, three months late, and now realize that the new budget is already billions of dollars in the red.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I am supposed to worry about whether or not some damn chicken headed to the slaughterhouse is a victim of "animal cruelty"?  Get real!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On and on, and on it goes. There are 12 state propositions to decide, and a like number of local proposals, most of which are designed to rip off the good people of Santa Clara County even more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having decided the fate of Santa Clara County and the State of California, I am eventually forced to confront the presidential question.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, voting for Barack Obama is simply out of the question.  The man is far too liberal and inexperienced.  He is not what America needs at this time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite the utter nonsense being preached by mainstream media, deciding not to vote for Obama does not make me a wild-eyed racist.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rather, it makes me a concerned American who doubts that Obama has the ability, background, or motivation to do what is best for America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which is exactly the way I felt about George W. Bush in 2004 when I declined to vote for Dubya.  The last time I checked, W was as white as new fallen snow. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So where is the racism?  To be blunt, it is in the hearts of millions of African- Americans who will vote for Obama only because of his skin pigment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In any event, deciding against voting for Obama buys me a few minutes, but ultimately I must answer the really big question: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Can I, in good conscience vote for John McCain, despite his staunchly liberal position on so many vital issues?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An angel from heaven gently whispers the answer in two words: Sarah Palin!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite all of his negatives, John McCain did select Governor Sarah Palin to be his running mate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unlike her boss, Governor Palin is a real conservative who really believes. She is also an energetic fireball who could stuff Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid back into their liberal boxes without so much as breaking a sweat.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Governor Palin is the antidote to unbridled liberalism, and is much needed until a cure for that dreadful mental disorder is discovered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Besides, McCain is 72 years old and, statistically speaking, there is a better than even chance that Vice President Palin would ascend to the Oval Office as a result of decisions made by Mother Nature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That does it!  It's Palin-McCain in 2008.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;God Bless America, Sarah Palin and old what's his name!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-3044763122176889864?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/3044763122176889864'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/3044763122176889864'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2008/10/voting-for-governor-palin-and-old-whats.html' title='Voting for Governor Palin and Old What&apos;s His Name!'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SO47cfc0VAI/AAAAAAAACV0/luUWGoNkdZA/s72-c/clothes_pins.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-5257514314861774115</id><published>2008-10-07T10:53:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-07T11:17:16.963-07:00</updated><title type='text'>"Ayers" of His Way Come Back to Haunt Barack Obama</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SOuiSl8MI-I/AAAAAAAACVU/ogdJXaYoarE/s1600-h/williamayers.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SOuiSl8MI-I/AAAAAAAACVU/ogdJXaYoarE/s400/williamayers.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254471830563726306" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By John W. Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;William Ayers is not the sort of fellow that any patriotic, mainstream American would willingly choose as a friend. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, given the choice, most Americans would not even associate with his type.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Wikipedia&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, this profile:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Ayers became involved in the New Left and the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS). He rose to national prominence as an SDS leader in 1968 and 1969. As head of an SDS regional group, the "Jesse James Gang", Ayers made decisive contributions to the Weatherman orientation toward militancy. The group Ayers headed in Detroit, Michigan became one of the earliest gatherings of what became the Weatherman. Between the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago and the June 1969 SDS convention, Ayers became a prominent leader of the group, which arose as a result of a schism in SDS. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"During that time his infatuation with street fighting grew and he developed a language of confrontational militancy that became more and more pronounced over the year [1969],' disaffected former Weatherman member Cathy Wilkerson wrote in 2001. Ayers had previously become a roommate of Terry Robbins, a fellow militant, Wilkerson wrote. Robbins would later be killed while making a bomb. In June 1969, the Weatherman took control of the SDS at its national convention, where Ayers was elected Education Secretary. Later in 1969, Ayers participated in planting a bomb at a statue dedicated to riot police casualties in the 1886 Haymarket Riot confrontation between labor supporters and the police.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"In 1970 he 'went underground' with several associates after the Greenwich Village townhouse explosion, in which Weatherman member Ted Gold, Ayers' close friend Terry Robbins, and Ayers' girlfriend, Diana Oughton, were killed when a nail bomb (an anti-personnel device) they were assembling exploded. Kathy Boudin and Cathy Wilkerson survived the blast. Ayers was not facing criminal charges at the time, but the federal government later filed charges against him. Ayers participated in the bombings of New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, the United States Capitol building in 1971, and The Pentagon in 1972."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reading about William Ayers automatically conjures up images of Osama bin Laden and other brutal terrorists intent on destroying America. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Affiliating with such a person is &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; what one would normally expect to find in the dossier of a serious candidate for the presidency of the United States. Yet that is precisely the case with Barack Obama.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, Obama now denies knowing anything about Ayers' background and claims that he barely knew the terrorist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, the Republican Party has documented the Obama-Ayers relationship thoroughly, a document that can be viewed at the link below:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.gop.com/News/NewsRead.aspx?Guid=768aa784-72f3-4b43-acb6-c5fe81d901cd&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition, from the &lt;em&gt;Weekly Standard&lt;/em&gt;, this report about CNN's review of the Obama-Ayers relationship:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"CNN's Drew Griffin reports that Obama and Ayers funded niche lefty causes and Jeremiah Wright's church. And a number of sources who attended Obama's coming out party hosted by Ayers in 1995 dispute the Obama camp's portrayal of that meeting: &lt;br /&gt;Obama campaign representative Anita Dunn: A Democratic state senator organizes a meeting of her supporters at the house of another one of her supporters. ... It is the worst kind of inference and the worst kind of politics to say that that says something about Barack Obama....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CNN reporter Drew Griffin: What I can tell you from two people who were actually there is that, number one, former [Democratic] state senator Alice Palmer says she in no way organized this meeting. She was invited and attended it briefly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dr. Quentin Young, a retired doctor, told us this indeed was Barack Obama's political coming out party, and it was hosted by Bill Ayers."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.weeklystandard.com/weblogs/TWSFP/2008/10/cnn_actually_reports_on_ayerso_1.asp&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As much as Barack Obama and his minions would like to close their eyes and wish William Ayers away, the domestic terrorist is here to stay, and his presence in the life of the man who would be 44th President of the United States must be thoroughly investigated by responsible journalists, and explained by Obama himself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why did Obama affiliate with Ayers to begin with, and why did he deliberately lie about that affiliation?&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course the larger question that the American people are owed a reasonable answer for is:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why should anyone vote for a presidential candidate whose "coming out party" in politics was hosted by an Osama bin Laden-like terrorist?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another nagging question: Why have mainstream tigers like Charles Gibson, Katie Couric, and others worked 24/7 to "expose" Governor Palin, while ignoring Barack Obama's frightening affiliation with William Ayers?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-5257514314861774115?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/5257514314861774115'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/5257514314861774115'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2008/10/ayers-of-his-way-come-back-to-haunt.html' title='&quot;Ayers&quot; of His Way Come Back to Haunt Barack Obama'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SOuiSl8MI-I/AAAAAAAACVU/ogdJXaYoarE/s72-c/williamayers.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-5564387970992580495</id><published>2008-10-06T16:32:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-06T17:02:33.129-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Finally: McCain-Palin Locks and Loads!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SOqgYE1FA8I/AAAAAAAACVM/A6W_LkQIdjI/s1600-h/sarahandgun"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SOqgYE1FA8I/AAAAAAAACVM/A6W_LkQIdjI/s400/sarahandgun" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254188250754778050" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By John W. Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With just 29 shopping days until election day, John McCain has apparently decided to take off his gloves and fight Barack Obama's Fatwa on America tooth and nail. At stake is the right to serve this great nation as it's 44th president and the very future of western civilization as we now know it.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;McCain is joined in this long overdue and completely justified Holy war by his formidable running mate, the effervescent Governor Palin.  The governor is best known for moose hunting skills, however, during the recent debate, she showed an uncanny ability to pummel dumb animals of the two-legged, liberal variety as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Using only an occasional wink and a charming down- to- earth demeanor, Governor Palin connected with middle class America in a way that a 66-year-old white male plagiarist who has been feeding at the public trough in Washington, D.C. for 36 years cannot not begin to fathom, much less replicate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was Governor Palin by a decisive KO over the clue less lefty!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Far from being content to rest on her laurels, Governor Palin challenged the decision by John McCain to give up on Michigan.  Such vim and vigor has not been seen in a VP candidate for a long time, if ever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next on the docket, Governor Palin went after Barack Obama with both barrels, taking on the erstwhile community organizer for his relationship with left-wing radical and violence merchant William Ayers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then she sounded a clarion call for greater emphasis on Obama and Jeremiah Wright, the Obama pastor who blamed the U.S. for 9/11, while shouting, "GD America" during a religious service in a house of worship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John McCain himself joined the fray on Monday by calling Barack Obama a "liar," a fact well know to anyone who has followed Obama's campaign and who is not a demented leftist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back to the Obama-Ayers relationship: The Republican National Committee will soon release information that proves beyond a doubt that Obama's relationship with the domestic terrorist was more than Obama is admitting to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.gop.com/News/NewsRead.aspx?Guid=768aa784-72f3-4b43-acb6-c5fe81d901cd&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Governor Palin said about Obama, "This is someone who sees America as 'imperfect enough' to work with a former domestic terrorist who targeted his own country." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Governor Palin is clearly engaged in the battle. The only question is whether John McCain shares her passion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the sake of our nation, let's hope that some of Sarah Palin's spirit rubs off on John McCain, thereby sending Obama back to the U.S. Senate as the junior member from Illinois.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-5564387970992580495?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/5564387970992580495'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/5564387970992580495'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2008/10/finally-mccain-palin-lock-and-load.html' title='Finally: McCain-Palin Locks and Loads!'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SOqgYE1FA8I/AAAAAAAACVM/A6W_LkQIdjI/s72-c/sarahandgun' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-5220700883681268167</id><published>2008-10-06T02:18:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-06T02:23:03.270-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Inconvenient Truth from Meltdown: Home Ownership  Not a Right!</title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;By John W. Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With American taxpayers on the hook for $700 billion in bailout compassion,an irrefutable truth must be accepted: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Not everyone can afford the American Dream.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In much the same way as that sleek new $200,000 Lamorghini is not within my financial means, so it is that some Americans do not make enough money, or have enough cash saved, to purchase a home. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Others have poor credit, too much debt, insufficient income, or lack satisfactory employment history and stability.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To those who believe that they are entitled to a home, a notion fostered by socialists like Nancy Pelosi and most Democrats, another harsh truth is coming: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nowhere in the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, or the Bill of Rights, are We the People obligated to provide anyone with a 3 bedroom, 2 bath home and attached garage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Home ownership is not a Constitutional right!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately, federal bureaucracies, under pressure from the Democrat Party and liberal Republicans, have taken a greater interest in promoting minority home ownership statistics than in assuring that mortgages written for qualified borrowers are sound and secure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once again, "progressive" race pandering has proven disastrous, not only for the general population, but for the minorities it was supposed to serve as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Driven by the socialist motto, "Our diversity is our greatest strength," underwriting standards have been deliberately loosened to make home ownership available to minorities and others who would not have qualified in the past.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Strict guidelines and standards were developed in the past to protect both investors and buyers from the risk of default. In many ways, that mandate has been replaced by the need to assure that diversity is served.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a consequence, the following risk conditions have been become almost common place:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Buyers are approved for loans with little or no down payment. Previously, a down payment of at least twenty- percent of the purchase price was necessary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Traditional debt-to-income ratios for housing expenses and total expense have been abandoned in favor of much higher, far more risky ratios.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Underwriters used to review each loan application in great detail to assure credit worthiness, capacity to repay, and collateral (confirmed value) of the property. Whatever happened to the three Cs of residential mortgage underwriting?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In some instances, mortgage loans have been knowingly approved for illegal aliens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Option Arm" and "Interest only" loans are sold without advising the loan applicants of the inherent dangers involved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just about anyone can get a "stated income" loan provided one`s FICO score is high enough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By lowering the bar enough, Uncle Sam has indeed brought diversity to home ownership. However, at what cost?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By flooding the market with unqualified buyers, government bureaucracies have artificially stimulated housing demand, which caused home prices to explode, leading to the unsustainable housing price bubble that has finally burst.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Republicans are not blameless in the great housing meltdown. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Indeed, who would have expected a conservative president to seize quasi-private enterprises and make them government property, and to bail out other private companies with loans involving billions of dollars of taxpayer money pinched from the U.S. treasury?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whatever happened to welfare reform, tough love, trusting the free market, and other conservative rallying cries?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A critical question that must be answered by wrong-minded progressives is this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How have minority homeowners, especially those now going through foreclosure, benefited from America`s insane obsession with diversity?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A question all American may have to face sooner rather than later is: Who will bail out the taxpayers?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-5220700883681268167?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/5220700883681268167'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/5220700883681268167'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2008/10/inconvenient-truth-from-meltdown-home.html' title='Inconvenient Truth from Meltdown: Home Ownership  Not a Right!'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-3395422164945756832</id><published>2008-10-04T00:58:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-04T01:01:02.711-07:00</updated><title type='text'>OJ Simpson In Custody!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SOciVcMZ6YI/AAAAAAAACUs/24WvwzFH49s/s1600-h/ojcuffed"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SOciVcMZ6YI/AAAAAAAACUs/24WvwzFH49s/s400/ojcuffed" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5253205242091792770" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By John W. Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On October 3, 1995, 12 jurors shocked the world by acquitting defendant OJ Simpson of murdering his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. On that dreadful  morning, Judge Lance Ito had no choice but to order Simpson released "forthwith," ending 473 days in custody.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simpson left the courtroom and immediately began looking for the real killer. Not surprisingly, OJ's search did not produce any results, except when he gazed into a mirror.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thirteen years later to the day , criminal justice finally arrived in the life of OJ Simpson. Without the "dream team" to wrangle on his behalf, Simpson was convicted of kidnapping, armed robbery and 10 other charges.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Upon rendering of the verdicts, OJ Simpson was handcuffed and taken into custody. Sentencing could put OJ behind bars for the rest of his life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lady justice ultimately prevailed, but did she take so long?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-3395422164945756832?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/3395422164945756832'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/3395422164945756832'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2008/10/oj-simpson-in-custody.html' title='OJ Simpson In Custody!'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SOciVcMZ6YI/AAAAAAAACUs/24WvwzFH49s/s72-c/ojcuffed' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-8016352061300153697</id><published>2008-10-03T11:53:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-03T12:29:47.639-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Democrats "Party of Death"?

Burke told the Italian Catholic newspaper Avvenire that the U.S. Democratic Party risked “transforming itself definitively into a party of death for its decisions on bioethical issues."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where do you suppose Burke came up with such a harsh conclusion?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Might it be because the Democrat Party has orchestrated the willful infanticide of 50 million innocent babies since 1973?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or because the Democrat Party advocates the unbridled right to assisted suicide?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Burke did not limit his words to a general indictment of Democrats.  Indeed, Burke singled out Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi by saying, “while presenting themselves  while presenting themselves as good Catholics, have presented Church doctrine on abortion in a false and tendentious way.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://blogs.reuters.com/faithworld/2008/10/01/vatican-official-attacks-us-democrats-as-party-of-death/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once again the cloak of hypocrisy nabs a wayward liberal!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-8016352061300153697?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/8016352061300153697'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/8016352061300153697'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2008/10/blog-post.html' title='Democrats &quot;Party of Death&quot;?

McCain and Obama, VP nominee Governor Sarah Palin scored an impressive victory over her weak opponent in the debate held Thursday evening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite being handicapped by Gwen Ifill, an Obama operative and biased liberal from PBS, Governor Palin demonstrated in-depth understanding and mastery of a wide range of topics from national security to economic priorities, and in doing so established her superior qualifications.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Governor Palin's performance was a moral victory for all women and proves that women are qualified to serve in the very highest capacities of government, despite the dismal showing of Nancy Pelosi in the U.S. House.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SOWQJYyEGkI/AAAAAAAACT0/j9I6flmzonY/s1600-h/SARAHBABY"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SOWQJYyEGkI/AAAAAAAACT0/j9I6flmzonY/s400/SARAHBABY" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252763031343209026" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, some observers opined that Governor Palin's experience and understanding of the vital issues  are far more comprehensive and cogent than those expressed by Barack Obama himself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Governor Palin's opponent, Joe Biden, appeared somewhat ill at ease as he worked to avoid alienating women by being overly aggressive towards the beauty queen from Alaska.  However, Biden's incessant smiling for no good reason showed that the politeness and courtesy were merely play acting for the television cameras rather than legitimate expressions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Congratulations to Governor Palin for answering her harshest critics with a most convincing demonstration of competence, strength, intelligence, and readiness to serve.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Governor Palin is obviously the most qualified candidate to function as the President of the United States should that eventuality present itself.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-5470647714691014133?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/5470647714691014133'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/5470647714691014133'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2008/10/young-vibrant-governor-palin-kos-old.html' title='Young, Vibrant Governor Palin KOs Old School Washington Liberal!'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SOWQk7TlaRI/AAAAAAAACT8/eeRSmTi4QWk/s72-c/miracle+sarah' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-8970321256306910449</id><published>2008-10-02T16:51:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-10-02T16:56:19.659-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Shut Up, Harry Reid!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SOVe5W7ay5I/AAAAAAAACTk/dLJVpL3iNgE/s1600-h/reidisareid"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SOVe5W7ay5I/AAAAAAAACTk/dLJVpL3iNgE/s400/reidisareid" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5252708879897906066" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By John W.

In fact, Ifill has authored a pro-Obama book scheduled for publication around the same time as the next president of the United States is sworn in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ifill is clearly a conniving opportunist who expects to make millions if and when Obama takes the oath of office on January 20, 2009.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, Governor Palin and Senator McCain have other plans, which should make Ifill's book just another irrelevant fairy tale based on black racism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How insane is it to have such an obviously biased leftist running an important debate?  How would Democrats feel, for example, if conservative columnist Peggy Noonan were the designated referee?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In order to maintain the fairness of the debate, Ifill should voluntarily recuse herself. If Ifill refuses to step aside, Governor Palin should refuse to participate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To save face, Ifill could always feign a broken ankle and claim a medical emergency.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do it for the integrity of journalism, Ms. Ifill!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WND: http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=76645&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-8235240656287944762?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/8235240656287944762'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/8235240656287944762'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2008/10/gwen-ifill-full-of-obamamania-must-be.html' title='Gwen Ifill Full of &lt;em&gt;Obamamania&lt;/em&gt;: Must Be Yanked As Moderator!'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SOORI-B1CJI/AAAAAAAACSM/r4ciP2PeaPA/s72-c/gwenifill' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-2941898335512027913</id><published>2008-09-30T21:03:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-30T21:11:21.586-07:00</updated><title type='text'>What Next?

Scientists are working 24/7 to effect a cure, but to date have not uncovered that miracle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Perhaps some day, soon, there will be a vaccine, sort of like the miracle drugs that wiped out polio and small pox.  At that glorious day, just-born infants will be vaccinated for life against the plague of becoming liberal.  Already-born folk will be able to recover with oral medications, exercise, and prayer.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Until our medical miracle arrives, we must prevent the spread of this malady by isolating known liberals to keep them from reproducing outside their immediate neighborhoods!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John W.

Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blasphemy is defined as: &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;A contemptuous or profane act, utterance, or writing concerning God or a sacred entity.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conservatives will regard any endorsement of Barack Obama as blasphemy of the worst kind.  Mind you, Obama is not God, but his candidacy threatens the sacred entity known as democracy and free market capitalism. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barack Obama is a socialist. He opposes free markets, free speech, and capitalism.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to Obama, people of accomplishment are evil doers whose wealth must be seized and handed over to those whom are less capable and or less fortunate.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obamaism holds that financial success comes only through exploitation of the poor and powerless.  From his leftist perspective, government exists to level the playing field between the haves and the have-nots.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SOFu_ylUakI/AAAAAAAACRs/Q8MNI3NlrGE/s1600-h/commie+bastard"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SOFu_ylUakI/AAAAAAAACRs/Q8MNI3NlrGE/s400/commie+bastard" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251600682679822914" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most conservatives contend that electing Obama would destroy America, as we know it, by ushering in a era of unchecked socialism. That would mean outrageous spending, lack of personal responsibility, and all of that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, with an alleged conservative president pushing for a $700 billion bailout of Wall Street, it seems as though America is already of the verge of being stuck in the quagmire of socialism. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How much additional carnage can an inexperienced former community organizer cause?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because of the economic collapse America is suffering, a President Obama would be unable to implement socialized health care, may have to rethink his position on illegal aliens, and will find it next to impossible to spend huge amounts of taxpayer money on other pet projects favored by liberal nuts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conservatives will immediately sound the Supreme Court nominations alarm, but the jurists most likely to leave are flaming liberals. Replacing them with more flaming liberals would be a damned shame, but should not tip the ideological balance too greatly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moreover, America is pretty battered right now and the next four years are going to be deadly brutal for whoever takes over the Oval Office.  The next president will inherit monstrous problems that should make his a one-term presidency.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Four years from now, George W. Bush will be a distant memory in the minds of most Americans.  Bush's replacement will be battling single-digit approval ratings and calls for his impeachment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If Barack Obama is elected and supported by Democrat majorities in both chambers of Congress, the results will be disastrous but not lethal.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;America can survive a one-term Barack Obama presidency, although at the end of such a term, the American people will have had more than enough of the socialist and anti-American policies of the Democrat Party.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SOFsNbW90YI/AAAAAAAACRk/tXJ-vrHoBEI/s1600-h/reagan"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SOFsNbW90YI/AAAAAAAACRk/tXJ-vrHoBEI/s400/reagan" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251597618428891522" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With the electorate fed up with liberalism, the time will be ripe for another Reagan Revolution and shelving of the likes of Barack Obama and the Clintons for at least two or three generations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of which will to the great advantage of America and Americans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bottom Line: Vote for Obama and start planning for the next conservative revolution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's the patriotic thing to do!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-2746481689923748286?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/2746481689923748286'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/2746481689923748286'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2008/09/vote-for-obama-act-of-unselfish.html' title='Endorsing Obama: Blasphemy or Patriotism?'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SOFq8Ol1kSI/AAAAAAAACRc/x_hmyCA8Hjk/s72-c/flag' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-2806628908299733169</id><published>2008-09-28T23:39:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-28T23:54:05.096-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Changing Face of Welfare Abuse</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SOB6c3_BFrI/AAAAAAAACRM/hgQtOtOwWTU/s1600-h/bailabuse.bmp"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SOB6c3_BFrI/AAAAAAAACRM/hgQtOtOwWTU/s400/bailabuse.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251331801997186738" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By John W. Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ending "welfare, as we know it" was one of the rare issues on which President Bill Clinton and Republican members of Congress actually agreed in the 90s.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a result, the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 was signed into law by President Clinton on August 26, 1996.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back in 1996, conventional wisdom held that the typical "welfare queen" was a poor black woman who lived in one of America's inner cities. She was unemployed and uneducated, an unmarried mother of several children born out of wedlock.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The size of her welfare check was based on the number of children that she birthed, a fact that supposedly motivated the queen to procreate often. The fact that she was unmarried was immaterial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our welfare queen was a stay-at-home mom, but she was rarely hailed as an American heroine for making the care and feeding of her children more important than a career path.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rather, this poor black woman was seen as the root cause of soaring deficits and moral decadence in American society.  She was seen as a loathsome figure, an immoral slut too stupid and lazy to do anything but feed at the public trough and produce a new welfare dependent child once a year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;American politicians finally decided that bailing out poor women with loose morals was an outrageous waste of taxpayer money.  The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 was designed to get those poor, uneducated sluts off the backs of American taxpayers!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things are certainly different in the new century.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today's welfare queen is actually a king. He is highly educated and sophisticated in the ways of the world, with special skills and abilities that enable him to manipulate people and their money to his advantage.  Some would even call him unethical or worse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The modern welfare king is usually a white urbane male who, "earns" 50 million dollars or more a year when his base salary, bonuses, stock options and other perks are taken into account.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He and his spouse are power players who are unable to spend much "quality time" with their children.  Thus, our welfare king typically hires a former welfare queen to tend to the children and housekeeping chores.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unlike the former welfare queen from a generation ago, the modern-day welfare king is not a powerless pawn in the game of national politics.  To the contrary, he has extraordinary access to the president of the United States and to powerful members of the U.S. Congress. His access is typically purchased with large financial contributions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because of his influence around and about Washington, D.C., our welfare king need not fret reckless political actions like those which doomed welfare queens in 1996.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, the welfare king can, and does, count on the federal government to intercede on his behalf when his own irresponsible business practices get him into financial hot water.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The welfare king can force members of both political parties to bail he and his associates out of impending doom.  His influence can cause the president and congressional leaders, and even presidential candidates, to drop everything in order to bail the king out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What does it matter to the welfare king that the bail out of Wall Street will cost American taxpayers $700 billion, at a minimum? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After all, in the eyes of the welfare king, the overwhelming majority of American taxpayers are unwashed fools, simple-minded nincompoops who exist only to buy homes they cannot afford, with mortgage loans containing terms almost guaranteed to lead to foreclosure; all the while making the welfare king filthy rich!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Somehow that typical welfare queen from 1996 seem harmless, even spiritual, when compared to the vultures and vipers that our foolish government is about to bail out!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-2806628908299733169?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/2806628908299733169'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/2806628908299733169'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2008/09/changing-face-of-welfare-abuse.html' title='The Changing Face of Welfare Abuse'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SOB6c3_BFrI/AAAAAAAACRM/hgQtOtOwWTU/s72-c/bailabuse.bmp' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-9220678790450140461</id><published>2008-09-28T18:00:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-28T18:16:15.561-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Those Responsible for Meltdown are Vultures and Vipers, Not Victims</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SI4n0F0OwaI/AAAAAAAABiA/Wn3f59RQsmY/s1600-h/forclose.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SI4n0F0OwaI/AAAAAAAABiA/Wn3f59RQsmY/s400/forclose.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5228159993291653538" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By John W. Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;President Bush and the Congress are about to transfer $700 billion dollars of taxpayer money to  unethical bankers and investors whose predatory and unethical business practices have finally caught up with them.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Make that caught up with us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This $700 billion &lt;strong&gt;is&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;on top of&lt;/strong&gt; the $300 billion bill from July to help homeowners facing foreclosure, and &lt;strong&gt;is on top of&lt;/strong&gt; tens of billions of tax dollars that Uncle Sam tossed  at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, two &lt;em&gt;private corporations &lt;/em&gt;specifically created by Congress to bring stability to mortgage lending, and &lt;strong&gt;is on top of&lt;/strong&gt; the $85 billion spent to rescue insurance giants AIF. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heaven knows, no one wants to see any American kicked out of his or her home.  But this action is yet another punch in the stomach to millions of Americans who have chosen to live their lives responsibly and within their financial means.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Given the government's penchant for serving as Uncle Nanny when it comes to home ownership, why in Hades should any responsible citizen scrimp and save and work hard when those who are reckless and irresponsible can count on being bailed out with taxpayer money?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is the point in being frugal and prudent when it is the foolish and imprudent who are rewarded?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During the most recent period of extravagant exuberance in the mortgage industry, several old school traditions have been cast aside in favor of more liberalized underwriting standards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This new paradigm of underwriting has lead to a new way of thinking, including the following:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fret Not About Your Credit&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seems as though those who worry about their credit worthiness are guilty of "old school" hysteria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In these enlightened times, cagey characters do not pay attention to paying bills on time. They refuse to worry about how much debt they are ringing up on credit cards that cost 20-30 % annual interest, they fret not about derogatory items like repossessions, collections, liens, and judgments that usually muck up one's FICO credit score.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To really cool consumers, having a single-digit FICO score is vastly overrated as a disaster, especially since Uncle Sam is chopping at the bit to disburse scores of billions of dollars of funny money just to extract foolhardy buyers from self-imposed debtor hell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saving for a Rainy Day Is a Waste of Time&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For years, prospective buyers were told to save enough money to make a decent down payment on that Dream Home. The idea was to put at least twenty percent down to avoid mortgage insurance, and to keep monthly mortgage payments as low as possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition, having money in the bank was seen as a sign of economic stability.  Some institutions even required several months of "reserves" for certain loans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alas, saving for a rainy day is another old school concept that should be expunged from the modern home buyers' vocabulary!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In recent times, it has been entirely possible to get into a million dollar home with little or no down payment.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under the right circumstances, lenders would approve a "piggy back" loan consisting of a low-interest first for 80 percent of the home value, and a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) for the remaining 20 percent.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This scheme might sound risky, but pompous lenders and naive buyers were counting on rising home prices to cover such HELOCs in short order.  As an added bonus, the HELOC provided lenders with ready-made refinance opportunities from which to profit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But then a funny thing happened on the way to refinance heaven: Rather than the promised non-stop increase in home values, the bubble burst, leaving some buyers in the unenviable position of owing more on their homes than the fair market value of said homes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Again, "old school" may not be cool--but it is often safer!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Buy Most Home Possible Now; Deal With High Payments Later!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Common sense should dictate that  home buyers should never take on mortgage payments that will overwhelm them with debt and make their lives life miserable.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Requiring at least a twenty percent down payment used to help keep monthly payments in line.  In addition, most lenders used to adhere to debt-to-income ratios of approximately 28 and 36.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Twenty eight percent was the maximum amount of gross income that could be spent on principle, interest, taxes, and insurance (PITI); thirty six percent was the amount of income that could be dedicated to total debt (PITI plus other debt).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Debt to income ratios were designed to protect buyers from purchasing homes beyond their means.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately, during the recent run of extravagant exuberance, some lenders have disregarded the traditional debt-to-income ratios and have sanctioned total debt ratios in excess of 50 percent, leaving ill-uninformed borrowers vulnerable to bankruptcy and foreclosure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Negative Amortization&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the cruelest hoaxes perpetrated on unsuspecting buyers is the outrage called negative amortization. Simply put, a negative amortization loan is one in which the principal amount increases, rather than going down, each month.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This loan is usually sold to a borrower who cannot otherwise qualify for a traditional loan. The borrower accepts the loan because of lower interest rates and easier qualifying requirements, often ignoring exorbitant closing costs, excessive origination fees, and other unattractive terms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With negative amortization loans, the monthly payment is based on an artificial interest rate, whereas the actual monthly payment is based on a much higher interest rate.  The difference between the artificial and actual monthly payment amount is added to the principal balance each month.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What a thrill it is to make that monthly payment knowing that the principal amount has gone up--rather than down!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With any luck, the bail out bill about to become law will not encourage even more Americans to travel down the path to financial irresponsibility and recklessness. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;The simple truth is that not all Americans can afford luxury homes, some cannot afford even the most modest of dwellings.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Greater individual responsibility, &lt;em&gt;not government bail outs&lt;/em&gt;, is the solution to the mortgage and housing crisis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;jwl&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-9220678790450140461?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/9220678790450140461'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/9220678790450140461'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2008/09/those-responsible-for-meltdown-are.html' title='Those Responsible for Meltdown are Vultures and Vipers, Not Victims'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SI4n0F0OwaI/AAAAAAAABiA/Wn3f59RQsmY/s72-c/forclose.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-6216587497496920530</id><published>2008-09-28T08:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-28T08:58:56.818-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Blunt Talk: Obama Truth Squads Carry "Stench of Police State"</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SN-pYze6viI/AAAAAAAACRE/dr6ZgVeDXHc/s1600-h/govblunt.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SN-pYze6viI/AAAAAAAACRE/dr6ZgVeDXHc/s400/govblunt.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251101934139129378" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;By John W. Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Governor Matt Blunt of Missouri released the following statement concerning certain law enforcement officials in Missouri  who have formed  "Truth Squads" to intimidate and threaten critics of Barack Obama:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“St. Louis County Circuit Attorney Bob McCulloch, St. Louis City Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce, Jefferson County Sheriff Glenn Boyer, and Obama and the leader of his Missouri campaign Senator Claire McCaskill have attached the stench of police state tactics to the Obama-Biden campaign.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“What Senator Obama and his helpers are doing is scandalous beyond words, the party that claims to be the party of Thomas Jefferson is abusing the justice system and offices of public trust to silence political criticism with threats of prosecution and criminal punishment.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“&lt;strong&gt;This abuse of the law for intimidation insults the most sacred principles and ideals of Jefferson. I can think of nothing more offensive to Jefferson’s thinking than using the power of the state to deprive Americans of their civil rights. The only conceivable purpose of Messrs. McCulloch, Obama and the others is to frighten people away from expressing themselves, to chill free and open debate, to suppress support and donations to conservative organizations targeted by this anti-civil rights, to strangle criticism of Mr. Obama, to suppress ads about his support of higher taxes, and to choke out criticism on television, radio, the Internet, blogs, e-mail and daily conversation about the election.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“Barack Obama needs to grow up. Leftist blogs and others in the press constantly say false things about me and my family. Usually, we ignore false and scurrilous accusations because the purveyors have no credibility. When necessary, we refute them. Enlisting Missouri law enforcement to intimidate people and kill free debate is reminiscent of the Sedition Acts - not a free society.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well said, Governor!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let's hope that Obama finishes "growing up" in a community organizer post in Illinois, rather than in the White House!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-6216587497496920530?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/6216587497496920530'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/6216587497496920530'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2008/09/blunt-talk-obama-truth-squads-carry.html' title='Blunt Talk: Obama Truth Squads Carry &quot;Stench of Police State&quot;'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SN-pYze6viI/AAAAAAAACRE/dr6ZgVeDXHc/s72-c/govblunt.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-6710544818146969886</id><published>2008-09-28T07:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-28T07:16:28.827-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Newt Gingrich: George W.

Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Former Speaker of the U.S. House Newt Gingrich recently addressed the market meltdown with unusual candor, including his assertion that President Bush does not understand the crisis.  He also called for the resignation of Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Responding to a question about whether House Republicans would buy in to the bail out package, Gingrich said, in part:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“They may have to, in the end, tolerate some of this. Because in the end, you have the Democrats desperate for socialism now. You have an administration which, in my judgment, has lost its mind."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gingrich continued:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“The president did a speech today, he did a speech Wednesday night, none of which I think are particularly helpful. Both because his standing now is so low, and because he’s so partisan and because I don’t think any serious person believes he understands this problem."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;http://www.ajc.com/metro/content/shared-blogs/ajc/politicalinsider/entries/2008/09/27/gingrich_bush_doesnt_understan.html&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;President Bush does not understand the problem? Yet he is pushing for a $700 billion bail out?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just as frightening: Neither John McCain nor Barack Obama is any more qualified than George Bush to lead America and the free world during the financial tsunami.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In fact, we the people have no one representing our interests in Washington, D.C. during these dangerous times.

Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the economic reality of being broke starts to settle in on we Americans who were raised to believe that divine intervention made us  # 1 and would keep us there forever, it is time to start fighting for that which is rightfully ours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That means that elected officials and those running for elective office need to start acting like Americans instead of spineless, nut less wimps.  The last thing our nation needs right now is some flaky liberal obsessed with being a "Citizen of the World." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We don't need no stinkin' citizen of the world in the Oval Office!  Especially when Old Glory is flying upside down in distress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We need a leader who is proud to be an American, has been all of his life, and will be until his soul is returned to the Creator.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We need a patriot who is passionately in love with freedom and Democracy and with all things American. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We need a president who is not ashamed of being an American, and who thinks that the U.S. being # 1 is just terrific. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We need a commander-in-chief who thinks that being the best in the world is something to boast about, a noble cause worth fighting for. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We need a president who really believes that America is the best thing to happen to human kind.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Regaining the national mojo will not be easy. But there are several immediate steps that can be taken to make America First! the imperative in Washington, D.C. once again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To begin with, concerned patriots need to think  "outside the fox" when casting their ballots on November 4.  That means being honest about the candidates and their positions on the issues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Honestly: Can America trust Democrats to fight the war on terror and the economic crisis with the appropriate America First! gusto?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are not times well suited for queasy liberal globalists like Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, Republicans have their warts, and plenty of them.  However, they seem the lesser of two evils.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the preservation of American culture and superpower status, we the people must elect a Republican president and restore Republican majorities in both houses of the Congress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having done so, we will have at least given America a fighting chance to survive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other fundamental changes are mandatory, among which are these:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Eliminate deficit spending and "off budget" malarkey. Put the numbers down honestly and spend only what we have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Make tax cuts permanent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Make energy independence a priority, even if means drilling for oil in Nancy Pelosi's backyard in San Francisco.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Make English the official language and stop the practice of printing ballots and other governmental and educational materials in foreign languages. Having more than one language is divisive, expensive, and unpatriotic!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*This is America, we speak English here and those uncomfortable with that reality are welcome to get the hell out--adios, Sayonara, blah, blah, blah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Kick the United Nations out of the U.S. and get the U.S. out of the United Nations!  America spends far too much money in support of this gaggle of anti-American socialists. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Immediately cease all foreign aid!  Start with Mexico and Pakistan, and go down the list of terrorist-sponsoring states until the slate is clean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Secure the borders with military, including the use of deadly force if necessary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Deport the 38 million or so illegal aliens living on the backs of American taxpayers.  The cost of deportation to be borne by the nations that allowed (encouraged!) their illiterate peasants to invade America in the first place!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is, alas, but a starting point for the second American Revolution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are you ready to fight for America and the future of your children?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-9012202328482078917?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/9012202328482078917'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/9012202328482078917'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2008/09/america-get-off-your-toxic-assets-and.html' title='America: Get Off Your Toxic Assets and Fight Back!'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SNvCD9-1YjI/AAAAAAAACPU/XThEddcHYL8/s72-c/flag' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-9116251364632763206</id><published>2008-09-24T23:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-25T07:42:48.861-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Who Needs John McCain?

Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With John McCain taking the high road and committing to work on behalf of the American people rather than wasting time in a silly debate with an out-of-miracles Messiah, there is a real possibility that the Anointed One will have the stage all to himself at the University of Mississippi on Friday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One can just see the scene: An auditorium full of cheering students, the full contingent of network goons and media types on hand, and an anxious nation of 100 million people tuned in for the big event.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the extreme left corner of the ring, we have a 120-pound wuss, former community organizer, Jesus imposter, and Marxist from Chicago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the right corner of the ring, we have an empty chair, emblematic of the empty suit from Arizona who is spending the weekend in Washington, D.C. trying to raise $700 billion dollars to save the nation.  That is one heck of a lot of pencils to sell, but this McCain dude is one dedicated public servant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What to do?  All those people, all those cameras, all that network time set up for a big-league debate and now one of the combatants has tanked!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before some idiot from the Bush administration gives the networks and the attending students a couple of billion dollars to atone for McCain's toxic no-show and adds said billions to the bailout package, why not apply some creative imagination to the situation?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After all, when you think about it, who  needs John McCain to stage a bitter debate anyway?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barack Obama and Joe Biden have been at each others throats all week, especially on issues involving the monster bailout and the two of them could debate the wisdom of the AIG rescue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Earlier in the week, Obama essentially said that Biden should keep his mouth shut on topics with which he is not knowledgeable, which means that Biden should simply shut up. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let Obama explain that remark and defend his knot-headed judgment in selecting the balding plagiarist to begin with, as CNN's cameras and Wolf Blitzer zoom in nice and close!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;htttp://elections.foxnews.com/2008/09/23/obama-chides-biden-for-off-message-interview/&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then there was the Biden misspeak in which he called the Obama campaign mocking of John McCain a "terrible" thing.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let the two lefties fight that one out on live television come Friday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, if worse comes to worse, Obama can always debate himself.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know, he could present both sides of his flip flop arguments on abortion, troop withdrawal from Iraq, and a host of other issues in which the Anointed One has made illogical arguments on both sides.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who needs John McCain when you have a two-faced like hypocrite like Obama around?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-9116251364632763206?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/9116251364632763206'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/9116251364632763206'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2008/09/who-needs-john-mccain-let-obama-debate.html' title='Who Needs John McCain?

Lillpop&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With his presidency in shambles and his legacy as "The worst president in American History" set in concrete, is it not time for George W. Bush to face reality and spare the nation and the world yet another four more months of grief?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the total and complete abandonment of border security and immigration law enforcement at home, to out of control spending resulting in trillions of dollars in debt being dumped on the backs of future generations, and to inept and foolish mismanagement of foreign relations that has united the world against America, George W. Bush has done enough damage to America. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now this human wrecking ball with an MBA from Yale wants American taxpayers to pick up a $700 billion dollar tab to bail out corrupts bankers and whoremongers posing as corrupt bankers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enough is enough, by George!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We the people know that the latest Bush ruse is the economic equivalent of 9/11, in effect a government-sponsored act of economic terrorism against Americans who pay their bills, go to work every day, watch their credit,and live honest lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, the Democrats are worse and even more dangerous. But if Bush has his way, there may be no America left for Democrats to destroy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;George W. Bush has lost his mind. He can no longer be trusted to waddle to the finish line.  He has zero credibility with the public, Congress and the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;George W. Bush needs to leave Washington, D.C. as soon as possible.  Tumbleweed and brush are accumulating in Crawford, Texas and George W. Bush is urgently needed there. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-----------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1974, America was confronted with a rascal in the White House by the name of Richard M. Nixon.  For all his faults, Nixon was generally regard as an intelligent and capable man. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately, Nixon was also a despicable crook. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But in 1974, the Republican party was blessed to have a few leaders with cajones and a passion for America.  Those noble Republicans walked into the White House at an appropriate time and let Nixon know that his time had elapsed and that, in the interests of the nation and himself, it was time to go. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To his credit, Richard M. Nixon did the honorable thing by resigning the presidency.  On August 9, 1974, President Nixon boarded an Air Force helicopter on the lawn of the White House and made his way home to California.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;America was grateful for the fact that our "national nightmare was over" and the healing process began immediately.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today's challenge: Are there are any Republican senators and or house members with cajones?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;America needs three of four patriots to deliver a Nixon-like message to George W. Bush namely,  "Mr. President, Your Helicopter is Ready!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By leaving now, Mr. Bush can accomplish the most noble and patriotic act of his presidency. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And America can begin healing.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33361730-1749489459908444035?l=liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/1749489459908444035'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33361730/posts/default/1749489459908444035'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://liberalismisinsanity.blogspot.com/2008/09/mr-president-your-helicopter-is-ready.html' title='Mr. President, Your Helicopter Is Ready'/><author><name>John W Lillpop</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='19' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/SAcPwyXRSsI/AAAAAAAABQA/KgWOR5ahroQ/S220/JWL1_edited_2_.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_ARKLgMMazUY/RoKqo5UBRDI/AAAAAAAAAcM/wRPMiDJMAMM/s72-c/300-hmx.jpeg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33361730.post-1758423565465469041</id><published>2008-09-21T10:16:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-21T10:33:47.626-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Letter to John McCain: America Needs "Bailout" from Illegal Aliens</title><content type='html'>September 21, 2008&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Senator John McCain&lt;br /&gt;United States Senate&lt;br /&gt;Washington, D.C.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dear Senator McCain:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;America is in the throes of an economic crisis of such grave consequence that former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan has described it as a "once in a hundred years" occurrence, which would make it potentially more devastating than the Great Depression.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In reacting to this once in a century crisis, President Bush and Congressional leaders have reportedly reached an agreement to take yet another $700 billion dollars of taxpayer money to purchase bad debt from failing U.S. banks and other financial institutions. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When implemented, the so-called rescue fund will increase America's public debt to $11.3 trillion dollars.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In addition to the latest trillion-dollar crisis, we Americans face other overwhelming economic challenges: Social Security and Medicare are reportedly headed toward insolvency. Democrats would like to implement universal health care (socialized medicine). Most of the nation's infrastructure is old and in need of repair or replacement, and our nation absolutely must achieve energy independence for both national security and economic security reasons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Given the precarious state of the nation's economy, it should be clear that America can no longer afford to feed, house, educate, and provide medical care to tens of millions of foreign, non-English speaking peasants who have violated U.S. borders and laws and who have no legal basis for being here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With all due respect, Senator, your advocacy on behalf of illegal aliens ignores the economic, social, educational, and cultural burdens that would be unfairly dumped on the backs of American citizens, most of whom are also taxpayers. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Illegal aliens currently here already cost taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars each year.  Amnesty would dump additional billions onto the backs of overtaxed citizens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Furthermore, "comprehensive reform" anything like the McCain-Kennedy proposals from the summer of 2007 would encourage tens of millions now living in Mexico and other points south of our borders to come here illegally, thereby further jeopardizing homeland security and adding more distress to American citizens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Senator McCain, in light of the severe economic meltdown facing we the people, why not embrace a plan that immediately secures the borders, deports those here illegally, and requires an orderly and lawful process for all people wishing to migrate to America?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why not a plan that respects American citizens and honors immigrants who stand in line, wait their turn, and follow the rules?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why not a plan that is America First, even blatantly jingoistic? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why not abandon that commitment to amnesty and replace it with a vow to restore the rule of law to our suffering nation?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why not a plan to bail out American citizens from the devastation that illegal aliens bring to our homeland?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you for your consideration, Senator.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sincerely,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John W.
