Obama is accepting any and all donations, no questions asked!

I have been researching, documenting and studying thousands upon thousands of Obama’s campaign donations for the past month. Egregious abuse was immediately evident and I published the results of my ongoing investigation. Each subsequent post built a more damning case against Obama’s illegal contribution activity.

The media took little notice of what I was substantiating. I went so far as to upload the documents so that anyone could do their own research. I asked readers to download the documents and a number of folks pitched in.

Despite dropping the groundbreaking bombshell story of “Palestinian” brothers from the Rafah refugee camp in Gaza who donated $33,000 to Obama’s campaign, no big media picked up the story. Jihadis donating to Obama from Gaza? Could there be a bigger story? Foreign donations are illegal, but this story was all that and so much more. The “Palestinian” brothers were proud and vocal of their “love” for Obama. Their vocal support on behalf of “Palestinians” spoke volumes to Obama’s campaign.

And yet still no media.

Where is the outrage?????
Where is the FEC????
Where is the McCain attack team????

This is a legitimate accusation against him and his campaign.

Sly congressmen posture to charm the most cameras,
Jousting and jockeying for electoral advantage.
Antiseptic tank thinkers who prattle on C-SPAN,
Play up to the crowds of American Grandstand.snipThe critics, the cynics, the skeptics, dyspeptics,
So quick to condemn us as all misanthropic.
How doth they judge fighters when few have they met?
Longing for new My Lai’s,
Thirsting for new Tet’s.

See that young man? Jack Murtha says he’s a “cold blooded killer.” This week, after a  two year investigation, the United States Marine Corps will say he’s not. 

First off, I’m going to give you an important site to contact your representative, as well as find out who it is. This is not to say that you don’t know who your representative is, but in case you need the mailing or email address of your Congress Critter, here’s how to find it.

Click here to find out who your representative is.

You’ll need to know your four digit extension on your zip code, but there’s a link there for finding it, if you don’t have any old junk mail laying around that you can use for reference.

As of this writing, the email doesn’t work… Typical government inefficiency at its best. I sent a message to them telling them that it doesn’t work, but I’m sure they don’t really care. Why allow input from your constituents? It might get in the way of doing what you really want.

Anyway, I have uploaded two documents that you can access by right-clicking the following links. They are forms/blanks for sending to your congress critter concerning the Trans-Texas Corridor and Crony Payback project. One form voices your opposition to the Environmental Impact group, which must be sent within the week, due to the closing of public comment on the 19th of April.

The second form, to be sent to your Congress Critter, as well, asks for an investigation of this whole smelly scheme. We all know that the vast majority of Texans don’t want it. The question then becomes, “Why is Governor Goodhair pushing it forward in opposition to the Peoples’ Will?”

The answer, is probably to be found by applying the adage, “Follow the money.” This second form basically asks for the US Congress to look into this questionable deal.

Link 1: The letter to the Environmental Impact Group
Link 1a: Link 1 in plain text format

Link 2: The letter to your Congress Critter asking for a TTC investigation
Link 2a: Link 2 in plain text format

The first document has a section you’ll have to edit and fill out. Now, I think that all of us is smarter than any of us, so I’d like to use the comments for this article to help us come up with reasons to oppose the TTC. I know this is an easy task, but I’d like everyone’s input. Please take a moment to state why we should oppose this fiasco for environmental reasons. Remember, the first document is going to the Environmental Impact group, so we need to address the reasons they are tasked with investigating.

Bonus points if you can use “Global Warming” or “Endangered Species” as part of your logical statement to be included.

Both letters will require some editing to get them to work. If you need your congressman’s email address, it is usually (state abbreviation)(congressional district)@mail.house.gov.

So, for Queen Sheila’s email address, I could send an email to tx18@mail.house.gov and she’d probably get it (and not read it, since I’m white). There is also usually a contact your congress critter on your congressman’s site. The House keeps sites by “lastname”.house.gov. This means that you can find Nick Lampson’s site by going to http://lampson.house.gov.

If the above email doesn’t go through, the alternate email address scheme is rep.lastname@mail.house.gov. So, rep.jackson-lee@mail.house.gov might also work. As a last resort, you can do a search on the congressional site, http://www.house.gov and have a fairly good chance of finding the information you need.

As a resort, AFTER the last resort, you can just ask in the comments, and I’ll find the email address for you.

It’s not hard, but be careful in case your congressman has a common last name. Kevin Brady is NOT at brady.house.gov, for example.

So, let’s get busy, and write up some reasons. I’ll add them to the document, to give us all time to get them out before the deadline.

Hat tip to 64Novaman for this article. He sent me the documents I used to base the above links on.

Every time it is pointed out that George Bush was just stating what all the intelligence agencies around the world were saying, we still got to hear, “There were no weapons of mass destruction! Bush lied! Bush lied! Squawk! Bush lied!”

So now, some female presidential candidate, who shall remained unnamed, has been telling a story about a poor pregnant woman who worked in a pizza parlor, went to a hospital, and because she didn’t have insurance or money to pay the $100 for the service, she died. How tragic! How terrible! We need national health care.

Except, it didn’t happen. Some unnamed sheriff supposedly told she who shall not be named the story, so it became political fare in her speeches, and was repeated ad nauseum. They couldn’t “fully vet” the information, but that didn’t stop them from using it.

So, will we be hearing loud and continual calls of “She lied! She lied! She lied!”

Don’t hold your breath waiting for it to happen. Apparently, it is only bad when a republican believes hundreds of others, who have vetted the information.

You can read the whole article here.

I’ll say it, though. She’s a liar, and democrats are hypocrites.

It appears that Obama’s pastor believes and has preached the following for 20 years.

* “Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him.”

* “All white men are responsible for white oppression.”

* “While it is true that blacks do hate whites, black hatred is not racism.”

* “Theologically, Malcolm X was not far wrong when he called the white man “the devil.”"

* “The black theologian must reject any conception of God which stifles black self-determination by picturing God as a God of all peoples.”

* “We have had too much of white love, the love that tells blacks to turn the other cheek and go the second mile. What we need is the divine love as expressed in black power, which is the power of blacks to destroy their oppressors, here and now, by any means at their disposal.”

Read James Lewis’ article.

It entirely conceivable that the Obamas have bought into this anti-Christian message. That is not the kind of religious fervor we need in a President. If he is elected, I see bad things happening.

This commentary post is on target.

Senator Obama has no special message for us, he has no new insight that will rid us of our human foibles or uplift our lesser angels. He is an inexperienced leftist Senator who gives good speeches, a mere performer, albeit a talented one. “A More Perfect Union” is nearly plagiarism, a shallow mimic of our Founders’ vision. To sell his candidacy, he must convince us we are in dire need of his leadership. Beyond his rhetorical sleight of hand, there is nothing to indicate he can lead us, no record of achievement, no experience, no special wisdom he can call his own.

He says he seeks to unite us. It is his mantra and his banner. In the tenure of an Obama presidency, will his charity and forgiveness reach out to white intolerance in equal measure to that of Rev. Wright or the New Black Panthers that advertise on his campaign website? Will he remain as unifying and measured as he appears today? Will he control the ideological impulses of the radicals he has embraced and to which he panders even as he tries to appear moderate?

In this very dangerous world with all its challenges dare we find out?

Let us have hope…that this will not be our president.
(Bold is mine)

I am not one to be critical of some one’s faith, I feel that everyone has the right to practice what ever religion they want as long as they do not force their views on me or even others.  So why you might ask am I writing an article with the title above?  Well apparently the Pope and leadership of the Catholic church, have determined that the original 7 mortal sins are not enough for them to try to fight against, they have come up with a new and modern list.

After 1,500 years the Vatican has brought the seven deadly sins up to date by adding seven new ones for the age of globalization. The list, published yesterday in L’Osservatore Romano, the Vatican newspaper, came as the Pope deplored the “decreasing sense of sin” in today’s “secularized world” and the falling numbers of Roman Catholics going to confession.

Open comments.

Feel free to comment on what you wish.

I did want to put the following analysis of HRC up front for the week so everyone has a chance to read it and pass it along to friends.

Thanks to American Thinker and James Lewis, who did a lot of good research for the article. This is a must read:

Click on the link: Hillary’s Oedipal Problem

This is not a person we want in the White House for four years, much less four days.

Pass it on!

Click: Nemesis

She is getting a little old.

Oh, Canada!

Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama want to pattern the US health care system after the socialist plans of Britain and Canada. If this is the answer to better health care, then why did the following happen?

Critically ill (Canadian) patients rushed to U.S. for care

Yes, you read the headline correctly. I did the italicized editing to let the headline tell the real facts. “Healthcare for everyone” really means “Healthcare for everyone we can afford,” with someone other than the patient or his family making the decision.

The lead paragraph says all you have to read:

More than 150 critically ill Canadians – many with life-threatening cerebral hemorrhages – have been rushed to the United States since the spring of 2006 because they could not obtain intensive-care beds here.

And in case you think this isn’t a result of their socialism, could you please explain the following quote from the same article?

Despite the urgency of these cases, patients encounter barriers to accessing care at every turn. The problems include: limited access to teleradiology; limited operating-room time; too few intensive-care beds; a short supply of neurosurgically trained intensive-care nurses to staff them, and too few neurosurgeons.

In some cases, neurosurgeons are available to operate, but with intensive-care beds full, there simply is nowhere to put them afterward.

No doctors, no nurses, no beds, no nothing… That’s why “no cost government healthcare” costs less.

Rudy Giuliani graduated from Law School in 1968. Until 1977, he worked, at different levels, as a District Attorney or in a DA’s office. Once again, this gets a “go” from me in regards to my litmus test. Anyone who graduates near the top of his class, then does public service for little power and pay is most likely a patriot. After spending four years in private practice, he returned to public service in 1981, as the number 3 man in the US Department of Justice.

His prosecutorial record is impressive. Over 4000 convictions, with only 25 reversals. In 1993, he was elected mayor of NYC, and literally brought law and order to the streets. He took NYC from a dangerous, crime-ridden hole into a liveable, safe large city. As far as law and order is concerned, even Fred Thompson’s TV character can’t really compare.

He has been the steward as taxes have gone down, the number of welfare recipients have gone down, crime has gone down, organized crime has been broken up, and, in general, New York city became less of a hell hole.

Mayor Giuliani changed party affiliation to republican when Reagan was elected. This puts him outside the “opportunistic republicans” who switched parties in the early 1990’s to take advantage of the Gingrich Revolution in Congress. His GOP credentials are real, as is his public service. For reference, see the Mafia Commission Trial at Wikipedia, as well as realize he was named person of the year in 2001 by Time Magazine, back when Time was temporarily selecting people who deserved it, rather than trying to select people to make political points.

Giuliani’s leadership during and after the 9/11 attack was the focus of much praise from both sides of the aisle, as well as the media. He held the city together, and showed American defiance by turning down $10 Million from Prince Alwaleed bin Talal bin Abdul Aziz Alsaud, who is not exactly against terrorism or for America. At the time, I think nearly all of America backed him in this, and were proud that he had done it.

Giuliani’s greatest criticism comes from the pro-life crowd. In the past, he has stated that he is morally against abortion, but supports a woman’s right to choose. I question whether such a position can actually be held in the same person. Regardless of my doubts, Giuliani has not been a proponent of either pro-life or pro-choice positions. Apparently, he has ignored it except when asked direct questions about it.

Dr. Ron Paul has tapped into the approximately 15% of the nation that is fed up with business as usual. I see his supporters as the Kinky Friedman type of voters from Texas’ last Gubernatorial election. (Disclaimer and disclosure: I voted for Kinky Friedman.) This is the fraction (and possibly “faction,” as well) of voters who don’t like any of the other choices, want something done in their interests instead in the interest of the politician, and like a candidate who says what he thinks. These are a few of the things that Ron Paul has in common with Kinky Friedman.

Ron Paul was born in Pittsburgh, PA, August 20, 1935. He is a physician, specializing in Ob-gyn. He was a US Air Force Flight Surgeon during the Vietnamese War. This makes him another American Hero, by default, if not with the strong credentials that McCain holds. This service means that Dr. Paul passes my litmus test: He is a patriot. Say what you like about him, his motives in running for president are obviously to do what he thinks is best for America.

Dr. Paul ran for president in the 1988 election under the Libertarian banner. Once again, I mention that these are the folks who hang out outside the Harris County Courthouses calling for the impeachment of whatever office holder is currently in office. I happen to be mostly libertarian myself, but resent these people for driving sane people away from even looking in to the Lib. party. Frankly, I wish they’d just go away.

Libertarians, including Dr. Paul, feel that less government is the best government. I happen to agree with this position. Dr. Paul says all the right things in regards to domestic policy. He is for lower taxes, less government intervention, and more freedom. He votes Constitutionally, meaning that he looks at the Constitution for the United States of America, and if he can’t see a justification for the legislation in that document, he votes against it. I wish all of our politicians did the same.

Dr. Paul, though, loses my vote when he talks about foreign policy. I don’t know who his advisors are, but whoever they are, they are doing a poor job in this area. Dr. Paul would do well to just shut up, rather than continue to blame America for being attacked by Islamic terrorists. He recently stated that Benazir Bhutto’s killing was also fomented by US foreign policy and his basic foreign policy is for the US to be “neutral.” This sounds great in theory, but I don’t know how well it will work in practice. For one thing, we need the cooperation of other governments to forward deploy our equipment, as well as support our troops outside the US.

Without a doubt, Senator John McCain is an American Hero in the truest sense of the word. He graduated from the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland in 1958, and became a Naval Aviator. For those of you who are unaware, Naval Aviators are the best in the world. This is not to take anything away from the Air Force aviators, but landing on a moving platform just slightly smaller than 10 football fields while going a couple of hundred miles per hour is not for the weak at heart.

Then-Lieutenant Commander McCain was piloting his A4 Skyhawk over Vietnam on October 26, 1967 when he was shot down by anti-aircraft fire. Whether Jane Fonda was manning the gun at the time is unknown, but unlikely. He was captured, and spent the next six years in the infamous Hanoi Hilton, one of the most brutal prisoner of war camps during this conflict. The fact that this small-statured man came through this relatively intact and normal is a testament to his internal strength and fortitude.

As I said, he is undoubtedly a true American Hero and deserves our praise, thanks, and eternal gratitude for what he went through in the name of our country. Many left-wing blogs are questioning facts about his imprisonment and service (reference 1, reference 2, and reference 3), but these are the same kind of people who “support the troops, but not the war,” which translates into, “No one will listen to my anti-American swill if I don’t at least pay verbal homage to our children in harm’s way, even though I would put up a ’sailors and dogs keep off the grass’ sign in my yard if I thought I could get away with it.”

They tend to question how he came through the torture and privation in such good health, saying things like “During that interview, McCain again seriously violated the Code of Conduct by failing to “evade answering questions” to the “utmost” of his ability when he, according to the DOD report, helped Barral by answering questions in Spanish, a language McCain had learned in school. On Dec. 7, 1969, McCain was moved out of isolation and into the “Hanoi Hilton” with other prisoners of war.”

So, after only two years, he was moved out of solitary, and didn’t do his “utmost” to put up with torture… I can’t even comment on the inanity of this statement. He was being tortured and trying to survive in brutal conditions. Anyone who questions his credentials as an American Hero is no true American Patriot, in my not-so-humble opinion.

Why am I then not going to support his presidential candidacy? Well, “being a patriot” is definitely on my list of “musts” for anyone hoping to get my vote (as an aside, this is also the reason I refuse to support either of the Clintons in any endeavor they undertake), but “being a hero” is not. McCain therefore passes my first test, and probably the only litmus test I have, for getting my vote.

With the first primaries starting in less than two weeks, I am going to be posting a few articles on the candidates. I have been thinking very seriously about whom I am going to support. Please comment on the candidates themselves in the comments, but as always, any comments are welcome.

This is not meant to be an endorsement of any candidate in particular. Since I am still undecided whom I will support, I cannot very well endorse him. I can, though, say that there are quite a few candidates whom I will not be supporting. Those who know me can probably guess a few names, I’m sure.

“Not endorsing” does not mean “suggesting one does not vote for this candidate.” These will be my opinions, only, and are only presented as such. I invite other authors to post their views, as well, either as comments here, or as their own posts. If you email me the text at wine_drinker at hotmail dot com, I’ll add it to the body of the post. Just be sure to let me know which candidate you want the text to go with, if it isn’t obvious.

Since he’s surging in the polls, I’m going to write my first opinion piece today on… (see next article).

Two of the most odious Human Beings (no offense to Human Beings) on the Planet are Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.

It’s not so bad that these despicable wastes of protoplasm are elected by the idiots in their District and State, they can do relativley little harm as mere Congressmen.  It’s that the Party they represent sees fit to insult Decent People by elevating these oxygen thieves to positions of great power, and then has the utter Huevos to tell us the “other guys” are bad people.

These two examples of excremental excess are the main reason why nobody should be skipping any dam boxes next November.   Nick Lampson voted for Nancy as Speaker—no way he’ll get my vote, just for doing that.  And there’s no way I’d skip a box in that race if I thought there was even a scintilla of a chance it would help him win.   I wouldn’t spend a nickles worth of gas to go see Slick Nick pass out Dollar Bills on a street corner.

As disappointed as I am with the Republicans, I can think of no-one as actually malevolent as they that the Republican Party ever elevated to positions as high as the Democrats have elevated these two steaming piles.  Tom Delay was a mere thief when one gets right down to it, and Trent Lott was another.  But both were pikers compared to those two monuments to the unencumbered thought process when it comes to being downright gut churningly destestable.

Were these two were actually a pile of dog excrement and I stepped in it, I’d throw away my shoes rather than scrape them off.

This is wrong!

Bold is mine, comments in Ital.

Congress has been brought to a grinding halt by hardening Democratic and Republican stances on taxes and spending just days before lawmakers begin leaving Washington for Christmas and New Year’s.

The two sides are, in some cases, refusing even to speak to each other about the massive omnibus and an Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) bill.

Senate Republicans refused to meet Democrats Tuesday on spending and House Democrats rejected the Senate’s AMT “patch,” preparing a new version paid for with corporate tax increases.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) countered the majority’s plans with a proposal that would require Democrats to accept virtually all of President Bush’s demands on spending.

McConnell demanded that Democrats also provide $70 billion for the war with no strings attached.
