Obama Time

A Paid Political Announcement by Sen. Barack Obama (D-Illinois)

.

My fellow Identity-Americans

As your future President I want to thank my supporters, for their… well, support.

Your mindless support of me, despite my complete lack of any legislative achievement, my pastor’s relations with Louis Farrakhan and Libyan dictator Moamar Quadafi, or my blatantly leftist voting record while I present myself as some sort of bi-partisan agent of change.

I also like how my supporters claim my youthful drug use and criminal behavior somehow qualifies me for the Presidency after 8 years of claiming Bush’s youthful drinking disqualifies him. Your hypocrisy is a beacon of hope shining over a sea of political posing.

I would also like to thank the Kennedy’s for coming out in support of me. There’s a lot of glamour behind the Kennedy name, even though JFK started the Vietnam War, his brother Robert illegally wiretapped Martin Luther King, Jr. and Teddy killed a teenage girl. And I’m not going anywhere near the cousins, both literally and figuratively.

And I’d like to thank Oprah Winfrey for her support. Her love of meaningless empty platitudes will be the force that propels me to the White House.

Americans should vote for me, not because of my lack of experience or achievement, but because I make people feel good. Voting for me causes some white folk to feel relieved of their imagined, racist guilt.

I say things that sound meaningful, but don’t really mean anything because Americans are tired of things having meaning. If things have meaning, then that means you have to think about them.

Americans are tired of thinking.

It’s time to shut down the brain, and open up the heart.

So when you go to vote in the primaries, remember don’t think, just do.

And do it for me.

Thank You.

Let’s Legalize Competing Currencies

“Historically, legal tender laws have been used by governments to force their citizens to accept debased and devalued currency. Gresham’s Law describes this phenomenon, which can be summed up in one phrase: bad money drives out good money.

An emperor, a king, or a dictator might mint coins with half an ounce of gold and force merchants, under pain of death, to accept them as though they contained one ounce of gold. Each ounce of the king’s gold could now be minted into two coins instead of one, so the king now had twice as much “money” to spend on building castles and raising armies. As these legally overvalued coins circulated, the coins containing the full ounce of gold would be pulled out of circulation and hoarded.

We saw this same phenomenon happen in the mid-1960s when the US government began to mint subsidiary coinage out of copper and nickel rather than silver. The copper and nickel coins were legally overvalued, the silver coins undervalued in relation, and silver coins vanished from circulation.

These actions also give rise to the most pernicious effects of inflation. Most of the merchants and peasants who received this devalued currency felt the full effects of inflation, the rise in prices and the lowered standard of living, before they received any of the new currency. By the time they received the new currency, prices had long since doubled, and the new currency they received would give them no benefit.”

Congressman Dr. Ron Paul

Second Amendment Sisters is a website worth looking at.

Second Amendment Sisters is a women’s advocacy group dedicated to preserving the basic human right to self-defense, as recognized by the Second Amendment. They believe in personal responsibility, education, and enforcement of laws against violent criminals.

They were founded in 1999 by five women who got together on the internet. Deb Altrath of New Jersey, Juli Bednarzyk of Illinois, Dianne Sawyer of South Carolina, Marinelle Thompson of Texas, and Kim Watson of Florida discovered they had something in common – that they didn’t want the anti-rights Million Mom March to speak for them.

Please take the time to look at their website. Second Amendment Sisters

Finally, A State Is Showing Some Balls!!!!

Montana is up in arms about the Supreme Court’s upcoming D.C. v. Heller decision on the Second Amendment. Read their resolution here.

The Montana legislature meets only once every two years, and is not scheduled to convene again until January of 2009.  So, this resolution was drafted, informally, between the legislative sessions.

Rumor is that Wyoming and Idaho may follow suit. Let’s pray that other States will also join in.

There is an interesting discussion of the various Heller court briefs over at the Volokh Blog.

Folks, make no mistake. This Supreme Court decision could be one of the most explosive decisions in our lifetime!

Three Things to Ponder

Cows, The Constitution, and The Ten Commandments

Cows

Is it just me, or does anyone else find it amazing that during the mad cow epidemic our government could track a single cow, born in Canada almost three years ago, right to the stall where she slept in the state of Washington? And, they tracked her calves to their stalls. But they are unable to locate 11 million illegal aliens wandering around our country. Maybe we should give each of them a cow.

The Constitution

They keep talking abou t drafting a Constitution for Iraq. Why don’t we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it has worked for over 200 years, and we’re not using it anymore.

The Ten Commandments

The real reason that we can’t have the Ten Commandments posted in a courthouse is this:

You cannot post “Thou Shalt Not Steal,” “Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery,” and “Thou Shall Not Lie” in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians… It creates a hostile work environment.

A black comedian on a Canadian TV show said he misses Bill Clinton.

“Yep, that’s right – I miss Bill Clinton! He was the closest thing we ever got to having a black man as President.

     Number 1 – He played the sax.

     Number 2 – He smoked weed.

     Number 3 – He had his way with ugly white women.

Even now? Look at him… his wife works, and he doesn’t! And, he gets a check from the government every month!

In addition, manufacturers announced today that they will be stocking America’s shelves this week with Clinton Soup, in honor of one of the nations’ most distinguished men. It consists primarily of a weenie in hot water.

Chrysler Corporation is adding a new car to its line to honor Bill Clinton. The Dodge Drafter will be built in Canada.

When asked what he thought about foreign affairs, Clinton replied, ‘I don’t know, I never had one.’

Clinton revised the judicial oath: ‘I solemnly swear to tell the truth as I know it, the whole truth as I believe it to be, and nothing but what I think you need to know.’

Clinton will be recorded in history as the only President to do Hanky Panky between the Bushes.”

Last Marine in Iwo Jima photo dies at 82

REDDING, Calif. – Raymond Jacobs, believed to be the last surviving member of the group of Marines photographed during the original U.S. flag-raising on Iwo Jima during World War II, has died at age 82.

Jacobs died Jan. 29 of natural causes at a Redding hospital, his daughter, Nancy Jacobs, told The Associated Press.

Jacobs had spent his later years working to prove that he was the radio operator photographed looking up at an American flag as it was being raised by other Marines on Mount Suribachi on Feb. 23, 1945.

Newspaper accounts from the time show he was on the mountain during the initial raising of a smaller American flag, though he had returned to his unit by the time the more famous AP photograph was taken of a second flag-raising later the same day.

The radioman’s face isn’t fully visible in the first photograph taken of the first flag-raising by Lou Lowery, a photographer for Leatherneck magazine, leading some veterans to question Jacobs’ claim. However, other negatives from the same roll of film show the radioman is Jacobs, said retired Col. Walt Ford, editor of Leatherneck.

“It’s clearly a front-on face shot of Ray Jacobs,” Ford said.

Annette Amerman, a historian with the Marine Corps History Division, said in an e-mailed statement “there are many that believe” Jacobs was the radioman. “However, there are no official records produced at the time that can prove or refute Mr. Jacobs’ location.”

Jacobs was honorably discharged in 1946. He was called up during the Korean conflict in 1951 before retiring as a sergeant, his daughter said.

Jacobs retired in 1992 from KTVU-TV in Oakland, where he worked 34 years as a reporter, anchor and news director.
