Yet Another Reason To Find The Obama Campaign Disturbing

This man exploits children in the tradition of the Hitler Youth, the Komsomol, and the cults of personality built around Mao, Ho Chi Minh, Kim Il Sung, and other demagogues and dictators. Why doesn't anyone find this disturbing:

Dem Congress Will Adjourn Leaving Clean Up For Someone Else To Handle

Sept. 18 (Bloomberg) -- The Democratic-controlled Congress, acknowledging that it isn't equipped to lead the way to a solution for the financial crisis and can't agree on a path to follow, is likely to just get out of the way.

Lawmakers say they are unlikely to take action before, or to delay, their planned adjournments -- Sept. 26 for the House of Representatives, a week later for the Senate. While they haven't ruled out returning after the Nov. 4 elections, they would rather wait until next year unless Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke, who are leading efforts to contain the crisis, call for help.

One reason, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said yesterday, is that ``no one knows what to do'' at the moment.

``When you rush to judgment, you usually make mistakes,'' said Sherwood Boehlert, a former Republican congressman from New York. ``This is something you can't go on forever without addressing, but Congress in a short span of time is best served by going home.''

  Probably in the long span of time too considering that Congress has accomplished nothing and that its approval ratings make the Presidents look like Truman's on V-J Day. This is typical though of our legislature's tendency towards "groupthink" Congress refuses to accept responsibility for its part in the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac debacle even though Barney frank fiddled while his democratic colleagues like Jamie Gorelick, Franklin Raines, and Jim Johnson burned through money. Fannie Mae and Fre4ddie Mac weren;t so insolvent that they couldn't give money to Chris Dodd and Barack Obama in staggering quantities either.

   Congress isn't equipped to lead a group of drunken frat boys to a strip bar with a stack of dollar bills, let alone lead our nation out of any crisis, even one of its own making.

Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose!

Haven't seen people this worked up since Numerburg in '36!

Lynn Forester De Rothschild, Clinton Fundraiser, Endorses McCain

Lynn Forester De Rothschild, a strident supporter of Hilary Clinton, member of the DNC platform committee, and powerful fundraiser crossed party lines and endorsed John McCain yesterday. The de facto take over of the Democratic Party by the extreme left was a major contributing factor to her decision. In addition, Mrs. De Rothschild was quoted as saying that she did not trust Obama nor the elitists who flock to him like moths to a flame. A Clinton spekesperson was quoted as saying that the Senator was disappointed in the decision.  Personally, I wonder how disappointed she really is. Should McCain win, this sets up a Palin vs. Clinton matchup in 2012, (presuming McCain does not run for a 2nd term) or will give Clinton the opportunity to run against Obama in the primaries after 4 years of Obama's ineptitude and incompetence have turned all but the leftists and Marxists in the nation against him. The addage has been proven true today, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Paying Higher Taxes Patriotic? Biden Proves Yet Again That He Shouldn't Be Allowed To Talk

Biden seems determined to single handedly lose the election:

Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden said Thursday that paying more in taxes is the patriotic thing to do for wealthier Americans. The Republican campaign for president calls the tax increases their Democratic opponents propose "painful" instead of patriotic.

Under the economic plan proposed by Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, people earning more than $250,000 a year would pay more in taxes while those earning less — the vast majority of American taxpayers — would receive a tax cut.

"We want to take money and put it back in the pocket of middle-class people," Biden said in an interview on ABC's "Good Morning America."

Noting that wealthier Americans would indeed pay more, Biden said: "It's time to be patriotic ... time to jump in, time to be part of the deal, time to help get America out of the rut."

  Put money back into the pockets of the middle class? First how do you define middle class? Second, any money that you magnanimously decide to return to the people who actually earn it will simply be taken away in towns, cities, and states run by Democrats just like Obama and Biden.

How About The Fact That He's Not The Best Guy For The Job?

Gergen and Sebelius beat the drum of the Bradley Effect

Race and the fragile U.S. economy could change the outcome of a presidential election that seems to favor the Democratic Party, said a professor and best-selling author who has unique insight into the White House.

David Gergen told about 600 guests attending a dinner at the University of Oklahoma on Wednesday that John McCain and Barack Obama are locked in a virtual tie and the Republicans could pull off an upset.

“Race has, and is, the big gorilla in the room that you can’t get around,” Gergen said. “We have made a lot of progress but we’re not there yet. It gives a lot of unpredictability to what we do.”

Gergen, a professor at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government, served as a White House adviser to Presidents Nixon, Ford, Reagan and Clinton. He counseled Nixon on his resignation letter and he was a staff member on George H.W. Bush’s 1980 presidential campaign.

   So never mind that his economic policies would take us back to Carter and stagflation. Never mind that his leftist/socialist agenda would see my taxes increase, see nationalization of private sector businesses on a level that Hugo Chavez dreams of. Never mind that, in conjunction with a democrat controlled congress legislation would be passed that would destroy the ability of the United States to compete in world markets, never mind that his foreign policy ideas lay somewhere between a bad acid trip and the greatest failings of Neville Chamberlain, never mind the fact that he has proven himaself incapable of taking a stand on anything other than supporting infanticide, and never mind the fact that he speaks of taking care of the poor when he can't even provide for his own half brother and is willing to throw the unborn to the wolves. It's all about race, right?

Does This Mean They Won't Have To Sit In The Back Of the Search Engine?

Pro-Life groups finally allowed to buy ads on Google:

Christian and other religious groups opposed to abortion were allowed to advertise on Google for the first time from today, after the search engine capitulated in the face of a legal challenge.

Google had banned pro-life religious groups from buying adverts against search terms such as “abortion” and “abortion help” but was forced to abandon its policy after it was accused of breaching equalities legislation.

The challenge was brought by the Christian Institute, a cross-denominational pressure group, who said that Google’s change of heart was an acknowledgement of the rights of everybody to hold an opinion on the subject.

Mike Judge from the Christian Institute said: “Google were taking adverts from pro-abortion groups, and our view is that was a free speech issue. What we want to do is set out the acts in a pretty factual and pretty sensible way”.

Pro-Abortion Judge To be Given Ethics Prize By Jesuit University

From Lifesitenews.com:

In a brash move defying the U.S Bishops' speakers policy, Fordham University's Stein Center for Law and Ethics announced that pro-abortion Supreme Court Justice Stephen G. Breyer is the 2008 recipient of the Fordham-Stein Ethics Prize. Breyer infamously wrote the majority opinion in Stenberg v. Carhart, which struck down state laws banning the practice of partial-birth abortion.

The Fordham-Stein Ethics Prize is scheduled to be bestowed upon Justice Breyer at a dinner in New York on October 29, 2008.

   As I have said before perhaps the Society of Jesus should change its name; that is unless it represents the interests of a pro-abortion, left wing, Marxist, socialist, anti-Catholic, new age guy named Jesus, (pronounced Hay-Soos.)

   The President of Fordham, Joseph McShane, has not made any comment concerning the award being given to Breyer. If he is like the majority of his order, Breyers contributions to moral relativism, support for liberation theology, and willingness to give legal protection to the genocide of millions of unborn children is far more in keeping with the beliefs of the modern day Jesuit order and worthy of such an award.

   The USCCB has recently made some good decisions by choosing to confront politicians who create scandal by claiming to be catholic while claiming to that Church teaching is unclear on when life begins or on abortion itself. It is hoped that the backbone recently displayed will not fade in the face of having to confront an order within the Church.

   They still use excommunication and interdict don't they?

"I Am Unashamedly A Christian"

Gianna Jessen just said that on Hannity and Colmes. My heart leapt in my chest when she gave witness to her surviving the abortion that was meant to end her life.
