Cuomo Chastises Cantor

The son of the former Democratic governor of New York and ABC morning show flack Cuomo interrogated US Representative Eric Cantor this morning about Obama's speech-not interviewed-interrogated. His hostility was palpable. The dinosaur media has scored some remarkable victories in their war on Republicans-I well recall the tremendous GOP stalwarts, Al D'Amato, Rick Santorum, and George Allen (whose wound was somewhat self-inflicted but who I would still vote for in a heartbeat) who the media helped knock down and take out. Sarah Palin and Eric Cantor are in their sights now because of their evident appeal. Bobby Jindal will join them on the target list. The Democrats stick together and rally around their own; Republicans have a tendency to cut loose their own over the least perceived transgression. But Republicans have always behaved more like a political party and less like a gang than their opponents. Let's not let these gangsters, who wish to punish initiative and throttle enterprise, win.

Sarah Palin's Church

Sarah Palin's church burned in an evident arson. The Alaska governor apologized to her fellow congregants. She did not want her run for Vice President to have been the cause of distress for her fellowship. Only the lowest form of vermin would try to torch a church and Governor Palin bears no responsibility for the action of a mad man. What is remarkable is the lack of national coverage of the arson. When black churches burned in the south, the mainstream media was quick to lead national news programs with the story. Morris Dees and other race activists were brought on air with commentary blaming Republicans in general for the intolerant air in the country and right wing talk radio in particular for the destruction of the churches. There is justifiable outrage when such a vile act is committed but when it befalls a conservative institution, it is only sporadically reported and quickly fades into obscurity in the mainstream media.

Driving the Stake

Last night ABC's Nightline aired a scurrilous report about Governor Palin's alleged excesses particularly in wardrobe spending on the campaign trail. These reports are made either by Democrats who fear Palin in 2012, liberal Republicans for the same reason, gossip-mongers seeking attention which is doubtful, or those trying to cover their own failures in the McCain campaign. Governor Palin is a charismatic, obviously attractive, unabashed Christain conservative stalwart who lives her values. Those making these allegations ought to come forward, sit in front of the cameras under the hot lights and make their claims. Otherwise, they should be summarily dismissed as the petty backbiters they are. There were also stories last night that proclaimed the defeat of evangelicals in this election. Nothing could be further from the truth. The perversion of marriage by homosexuals was resoundingly defeated all across the nation. The Obama campaign bent over backwards with outreach to evangelicals with efforts to lure Christain voters with stewardship of the earth arguments, frequent proclamations that Obama was a Christain, and constant effort to conceal Obama's anti-religious policy positions such as his support of the gay agenda and the massive amount of support he drew from the producers of pornography and wealthy early backers such as David Geffen. Governor Sarah Palin and faithful conservatives like her are the best hope for the Republican party and the USA.

Into the Abyss

Obama collected the support of voters who balloted on the basis of sharing his race. Other Obama backers are union members particularly SEIU members, teachers, and other government workers increasing their own power. Many of his voters were so ill-served by their education in government schools that they simply do not know the difference between capitalism and socialism. Others were young and naive. Obama won the blame America crowd including college professors. Trial lawyers by in large backed Obama. Obama did not run a masterful campaign. He was protected by an uncritical mainstream media. McCain and Palin were pilloried by them. Convicts, non-existent folks, and motor voter illegal aliens seemed to be universal Barry backers. Wasn't Governor Crist brilliant in Florida giving felons their suffrage back? We were told denying these criminals the vote was racist as they were largely African Americans. They were disenfranchised not because they were black but because they were lawbreakers. Now, my own re-elected Republican Senator speaks of creating universal health care and replacing fossil fuels to fight global warming. If the state of Tennessee had wanted ever expansive government, burdensome regulation, and infringement of our lifestyle Senator Alexander, we would have voted for Bob Tuke. Don't cross the aisle to betray your constituents. Fight for Tennessee values.

There is Smoke

Obama refuses to release his birth certificate, his academic records, his doctoral thesis. If there is not something amiss, why hide them? Was he born abroad, registered as a Muslim, was his education financed by Saudi coreligionists? We may never know. When George Bush I was running, he was accused of making an SR-71 flight to Paris to persuade the Iranians to retain their American hostages until Carter left office. Preposterous, of whole cloth, but reported and investigated by the media and Congress. Governor Palin has been raked over the coals for "Troopergate" while the media has deliberately underplayed allegations that Palin's ex-brother-in-law had tasered a ten(10) year old boy and had threatened the lives of Palin's parents. What should be investigated is why the Public Safety commissioner would allow such a man to retain his authority. The media has supposed public interest groups on today to tell voters how to enforce their voting rights and where to report violations. Republican voter suppression is a myth designed to inflame. Democrats in Fairfax county in this election have thrown out 98% of military absentee ballots just as they discarded military votes in Florida during Bush/Kerry, real voter suppression. This is a military that may well be asked to disarm law-abiding gun owners in this country. Obama will overturn posse comitatus and just as Red China has done, bring troops from different regions in to enforce the abolition of the Second Amendment. Will soldiers, sailors, and marines who have been denied their vote obey these repugnant orders. Under Obama, our military will be asked to disarm not defend the homeland.

Discomfit and Demonization

Republicans for years have been subjected to charges that they wish to starve children and kill old people, that they despise the environment (Republicans breathe the same air and drink the same water), and are inherently racist. George Bush has appointed more minorities to high positions than any previous administration. Black Republicans have been vilified with Secretary of State Rice being pilloried in a disgusting cartoon. Black Republicans are called Uncle Tom and Oreo. Governor Palin is hanged in effigy in West Hollywood. Virtually all criticism of substantive policy differences directed at Obama has been called racism by Obamites. I would not vote for a socialist of any race but would gladly vote for Alan Keyes, Ward Connorly, Walter E. Williams, Thomas Sowell, Condi Rice, J.C. Watts, or any other number of conservatives who happen to be black. Obama said he would be a post-racial candidate but has used claims of racism as a panoply muting his opponents. Never has a candidate been asked so little seeking an office that means so much.
