LaRouche is a Left Wing Nut Job

Everyone should know by now that Lyndon LaRouche, the man behind the 'Obama as Hitler' posters, is a left wing nut job; not a right wing nut job. Many consider him a communist. It seems that some of you in the Obamedia and nutroots blogosphere are still confused.

According to Wikipedia, every lefty's favorite encyclopedia, he's run for President of the United States eight times since 1976, once as a U.S. Labor Party candidate and seven times as a candidate for the Democratic Party nomination. He declared his support for John Kerry, pledged to mobilize his organization to help defeat George W. Bush, and he supported Hillary Clinton in 2008.

So get it straight CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS and all the rest of you left wing lapdog sycophants.

Actually, Mr. LaRouche appears to be a Liberal Fascist, which means, that's right, Lyndon LaRouche is a Nazi... another kumbaya moment. You're Welcome.

America Is Conservative

A recent state-by-state Gallup poll shows that, in every single one of the 50 states, most Americans identify themselves as politically conservative. So how is it that we've ended up with more left-wing liberals in Washington than at any other time in this nation’s history?

The only possible answer is that most of those conservatives stayed home on Election Day because there wasn’t a conservative to vote for. It seems to me that this is an excellent opportunity for a certain political party if it's intelligent enough to take advantage of the situation.

I won’t be holding my breath.

Here’s the Gallup poll and article, mysteriously titled “Conservative Label Prevails in the South” when the poll itself reveals that the conservative label prevails, period.

The Forgotten Presidents

From Free Republic

Were there presidents before George Washington? Techincally, maybe not, but the United States of America has had a fully functioning government since at least 1774 and operated as a nation, as we all know, since July 4, 1776.

So who were the duly elected men in charge of the Continental Congress, and later, the Confederation Congress before George Washington's inauguration on April 30, 1789?

Franken Wins

From Powerline

The three-judge court that has been hearing Senator Norm Coleman's election contest ruled for Franken today, finding that he received more votes in November's election. As expected, the court rejected Coleman's equal protection arguments and found that there were no serious or systemic problems with the state's conduct of the election.

He's Good Enough, He's Smart Enough, and Doggone It, Moonbats Like Him!

Black Liberation Theology

Senator Barack Obama spent over twenty years at the church of reverend Jeremiah Wright. Obama credits reverend Wright with introducing him to his Christian faith; but, what does that really mean?

Obama's Tax Mathemagic

By Kim Strassell - WSJ.com

And now, America, we introduce the Great Obama! The world's most gifted political magician! A thing of wonder. A thing of awe. Just watch him defy politics, economics, even gravity! (And hold your applause until the end, please.)

To kick off our show tonight, Mr. Obama will give 95% of American working families a tax cut, even though 40% of Americans today don't pay income taxes! How can our star enact such mathemagic? How can he "cut" zero? Abracadabra! It's called a "refundable tax credit." It involves the federal government taking money from those who do pay taxes, and writing checks to those who don't. Yes, yes, in the real world this is known as "welfare," but please try not to ruin the show.

For his next trick, the Great Obama will jumpstart the economy, and he'll do it by raising taxes on the very businesses that are today adrift in a financial tsunami! That will include all those among the top 1% of taxpayers who are in fact small-business owners, and the nation's biggest employers who currently pay some of the highest corporate tax rates in the developed world. Mr. Obama will, with a flick of his fingers, show them how to create more jobs with less money. It's simple, really. He has a wand.

Investors Fear Socialism

From Investors Business Daily

The freeze-up of the financial system - and government's seeming inability to thaw it out - are a main concern, no doubt. But more people are also starting to look across the valley, as they say, at what's in store once this crisis passes.

And right now it looks like the U.S., which built the mightiest, most prosperous economy the world has ever known, is about to turn its back on the free-enterprise system that made it all possible.

It isn't only that the most anti-capitalist politician ever nominated by a major party is favored to take the White House. It's that he'll also have a filibuster-proof Congress led by politicians who are almost as liberal.

Throw in a media establishment dedicated to the implementation of a liberal agenda, and the smothering of dissent wherever it arises, and it's no wonder panic has set in.

What is that agenda? It starts with a tax system right out of Marx: A massive redistribution of income - from each according to his ability, to each according to his need - all in the name of "neighborliness," "patriotism," "fairness" and "justice."

It continues with a call for a new world order that turns its back on free trade, has no problem with government controlling the means of production, imposes global taxes to support continents where our interests are negligible, signs on to climate treaties that will sap billions more in U.S. productivity and wealth, and institutes an authoritarian health care system that will strip Americans' freedoms and run up costs.

All the while, it ensures that nothing - absolutely nothing - will be done to secure a sufficient, terror-proof supply of our economic lifeblood - oil - a resource we'll need much more of in the years ahead.

Let me remind you of this exchange between Barack Obama and Charlie Gibson during the Democratic debate in Philadelphia back in April of 2008.

GIBSON: In each instance, when the capital gains tax dropped, revenues from the tax increased. The government took in more money. And in the 1980s, when the tax was increased to 28 percent, the revenues went down. So why raise it at all, especially given the fact that 100 million people in this country own stock and would be affected?

OBAMA: Well, Charlie, what I've said is that I would look at raising the capital gains tax for purposes of fairness.

You see, it's not about increasing revenues to the Treasury, it's about Marxism, wealth redistribution, and punishing those that make whatever Barack Obama believes is too much money.

Dear Mr. Obama

I received this from iVoteRight just as I was leaving South Korea and this is the first chance I've had to post it. It speaks for itself... now please excuse me. I have something in both of my eyes.

Watching The Debates Online

I'm in Korea without a TV so I watched the first presidential debates online via the FOX News Live Stream. Bret Baier hosted The Strategy Room with a panel of three commentators Mystery Science Theater 3000 style (I wonder how many people actually know what MST3K is considering it went off the air about 10 years ago). It was great. I applaud what FOXNews is doing online and I wish they would do more of it.

Oh... the debate, it was good and McCain won.

Media Campaigns for Obama

From RealClearPolitics - Tony Blankley (and found at Powerline)

While they have been liberal and blinkered in their worldview for decades, in 2007-08, for the first time, the major media consciously are covering for one candidate for president and consciously are knifing the other. This is no longer journalism; it is simply propaganda.

[...]

But worse than all the unfair and distorted reporting and image projecting are the shocking gaps in Obama's life that are not reported at all. The major media simply have not reported on Obama's two years at New York's Columbia University, where, among other things, he lived a mere quarter-mile from former terrorist Bill Ayers. Later, they both ended up as neighbors and associates in Chicago. Obama denies more than a passing relationship with Ayers. Should the media be curious? In only two weeks, the media have focused on all the colleges Gov. Palin has attended, her husband's driving habits 20 years ago, and the close criticism of the political opponents Gov. Palin had when she was mayor of Wasilla, Alaska.

Charles on Charlie

Charles Krauthammer on Charlie Gibson's interpretation of the Bush Doctrine during the Sarah Palin interview.

Actually, because I found this over at Little Green Footballs, the title should be, "Charles on Charlie from Charles."

Charlie Gibson's Gaffe
By Charles Krauthammer

"At times visibly nervous . . . Ms. Palin most visibly stumbled when she was asked by Mr. Gibson if she agreed with the Bush doctrine. Ms. Palin did not seem to know what he was talking about. Mr. Gibson, sounding like an impatient teacher, informed her that it meant the right of 'anticipatory self-defense.' "

-- New York Times, Sept. 12

Informed her? Rubbish.

The New York Times got it wrong. And Charlie Gibson got it wrong.

There is no single meaning of the Bush doctrine. In fact, there have been four distinct meanings, each one succeeding another over the eight years of this administration -- and the one Charlie Gibson cited is not the one in common usage today. It is utterly different.

You can read the rest here.

Charles Krauthammer should know something about the Bush Doctrine, he is credited with having coined the term.

On a somewhat related note Ace of Spades has exclusive video of the DNC War Room after the interview. Warning, extreme foul language (it is Ace of Spades after all). This is the funniest thing I've seen in awhile.

Sliming Sarah

From The Annenberg Public Policy Center's FactCheck.org

We’ve been flooded for the past few days with queries about dubious Internet postings and mass e-mail messages making claims about McCain’s running mate, Gov. Palin. We find that many are completely false, or misleading.

Palin did not cut funding for special needs education in Alaska by 62 percent. She didn’t cut it at all. In fact, she tripled per-pupil funding over just three years.

She did not demand that books be banned from the Wasilla library. Some of the books on a widely circulated list were not even in print at the time. The librarian has said Palin asked a "What if?" question, but the librarian continued in her job through most of Palin's first term.

She was never a member of the Alaskan Independence Party, a group that wants Alaskans to vote on whether they wish to secede from the United States. She’s been registered as a Republican since May 1982.

Palin never endorsed or supported Pat Buchanan for president. She once wore a Buchanan button as a "courtesy" when he visited Wasilla, but shortly afterward she was appointed to co-chair of the campaign of Steve Forbes in the state.

Palin has not pushed for teaching creationism in Alaska's schools. She has said that students should be allowed to "debate both sides" of the evolution question, but she also said creationism "doesn't have to be part of the curriculum."
