Hey y'all come over to the Minority Report.... we're having a liveblogg join us....

Alright so I know most of the Obama supporters aren't going to like this much but hey, while I'm beginning my foray into creating video I thought what better place to post my work and maybe even spark some discussion in the process. Beside I now my friends here love debating "what the meaning of is...is! ;0)

So I hope you like it. It's only my second attempt so don't to hate to much!!! lol

Senator Obama and many of his apostles and converts on the left continue to insist that McCain said "he wants a hundred year war with Iraq" -- Not only has McCain never said that, the actual quote is so crystal clear as to intent that one must be intentionality obtuse to assume anything other than a possible "presence in the region" as per American precedent!

Btw- Both the democratic candidates consistently vote to fund the Iraqi war! So Again, Senator Obama has lied to, or at the very least, misled his followers about his intentions there as well...

Promoted by John because this topic is so, well,...stimulating. ;)

I agree with Ernest Istook when he says "Stimulus is Washington’s code word for a spending spree and government giveaways. Most of the proposals we're hearing fit that category."

I'm of the same opinion Mr. Istook shared in a recent post called "Stimulus" = More Big Spending in which I borrowed/stole the title of this post.

He shares:

Rep. Eric Cantor, a frequent poster has a new website and petition called SavetheSecond.com

Don't click away yet as Cantor said: "This is bigger than politics - this is about our fundamental rights as citizens of the United States."

This is an amazing cartoon about the nature of "Isms", and how they lead to government control and the end of freedom as Captain Ed put it even 60 years later it rings true and relevant. Enjoy!!!

In what I characterize as a stunningly invasive intrusion into our homes the state is about to mandate that each new home and each newly renovated or remodeled home in California be fitted with a “programmable communicating thermostat” or PCT

What’s being proposed is a revision to Title 24. Title 24 is a 236 pages of state-mandated standards for building energy efficiency. Most of the time these standards and regulations are designed to help, unfortunately, this particular intrusion into the sanctity of our homes is not one of them. Energy Commission’s newly-proposed rules about your thermostat (PDF, see pages 63-64)

Just as liberal bloggers were celebrating Bill Kristol's recent departure from Time Magazine a shocking reality snapped them back into a frenzy Friday night with the announcement that Kristol will be joining the The New York Times op-ed pages.

-Washington Post Op-Ed columnist Harold Meyerson's latest anti-Christian rant Hard-liners for Jesus is beyond belief!-

First, let me say, I'm probably the last person who should be writing this rebuttal seeing as though I purposefully stay away from matters of religion due to my personal belief system. Full disclosure: I was baptized and took my first holy communion before the age of 10 in the Catholic Church. Since the age of 12 I've moved away from the church in an ongoing study of all religions and spirituality. For me, personally, organized religion doesn't work. I believe in GOD, commune with GOD regularly, and believe there's more to existence than just this mortal coil.

That being said, this hate-mongering and Christian bashing from the so-called media elite has got to be shown for what it is...Intolerance and HATE!!!

Obama’s three-city gospel concert series and the lack of outrage by theocracy alarmists!

Over the weekend Barack Obama participated in a series of gospel concerts across the state of South Carolina in what has been billed as an attempt to "recapture some of that old-time religious fervor"

From the The Washington Post :

As a man not only of God but of politics, the Rev. Joe Darby is an outspoken observer of the campaign scene. Reclining in his cluttered office at Morris Brown AME Church here, he witnesses the union between the pulpit and the polls.

"Politics does come down to some degree of emotion . . . ," says Darby, one of this state's most prominent African American preachers, whose church is a magnet for Democratic presidential hopefuls. "The Democratic Party is just catching up to that. It's been nauseatingly safe in recent years."

As if from Darby's mouth to Sen. Barack Obama's ears, the Democratic presidential candidate from Illinois -- hoping his campaign can recapture some of that old-time religious fervor -- launched a three-city gospel concert series over the weekend across the state, in North Charleston, Greenwood and Columbia. Although Obama did not attend the "Embrace the Change" series in person (instead campaigning in Iowa), he was here in spirit, appearing by video screen and sending out his surrogates, such as pastor Hezekiah Walker and singer Beverly Crawford.

-Snip-

The events themselves seem to straddle a strange line between political pep rally and old-school revival. At the first two concerts, Obama appears by video offering his regrets for his non-attendance and thanking those who've come. At the Greenwood event, a video is shown that begins with Obama's convention speech in 2004 and then retells his life story. In North Charleston, a video display of a speech given by Michelle Obama in Iowa gives rise to calls of "You go, girl!"

My question is where is the outrage? Where are the cries of "Separation of church and State"? Where have all the theocracy alarmists that attack any conservative politician or clergymen who talks politics in church? Where are all of these guys ?

The fact is this double standard has always existed. Liberals are rarely called to answer for any of this by the MSM or by Department of Justice (who seem content to bury their heads in the sand in these cases). For the record I have absolutely no problem with Barack Obama or any other Democrat taking their message to church as long as the same rules apply to everyone.

The Idea that when a Democrat politician stumps at a church, it’s “minority outreach.” and when a Republican politician stumps at a church, it’s a theocratic outrage has got to end!

A new documentary entitled Lake of Fire by Tony Kaye is now out in limited release in the United States.

Kaye of American History X fame said the film was 15 years in the making and said he knew from the start the controversial nature of the subject matter and the intensity of the graphic images he'd have to show.

Please excuse this non-political interruption for a personal appeal

I've lost a lot of family members to cancer, my Grandmother, two Aunt's, and my 35 year old cousin Cindy. This is something I've never talked on-line about but in keeping a promise, I'm here to appeal to anyone who's been touched by this horrible disease to please find your way to making a donation to a great cause!

I have never been comfortable talking about this so I'll simply post the following article written by my Aunt Kathy (Cindy's mother) as it ran in the Orange County Register on Wednesday, September 12, 2007

Ben Smith from the politico reports: DNC strips Fla. of delegates

The Democratic Party has taken a swipe at the nation's fourth biggest state, stripping Florida of all of its '08 delegates as punishment for jumping the gun with its Jan. 29 primary. Florida's early date could force other states to move up and up to stay at the front of the pack.

Under a vote taken moments ago by a powerful committee of the Democratic National Committee, if things don’t change, Florida’s primary will be a "beauty contest" — the delegates won’t count toward the party’s presidential nomination.

Consider this a location for discussion about the Republican Presidential Debate tonight or 2008 in general -- promoted by Brendan

Update: Alex has posted his Debate coverage wrap-up with video over at TMR:

I've been away for awhile but I’d like to get your input on my latest thoughts...

10 to 30 million new Americans over the next decade, Two-thirds of which will choose the Democrat Party due to entitlements, misinformation, and peer pressure. That’s a drastic redefinition of our country and the utter evaporation of the Republican Party. That is something we just can not allow to happen!

I have no doubt this fact is at the forefront of Senator Kennedy’s (and other liberal's) agenda and why they’re so happy to expedite this bill though.

A fact we all may want to remind our Republican representatives as they weigh their decision.

As Erick and others have said there is no bill yet and we don’t know exactly how the House will react but...

...we should be extremely mindful of the unintended consequences this type of bill would have on America. A one party entitlement government and the collapse of the United States of America as we know it!

"But in truth there can be no return to the bosom of the old order. American power and the very force of what had played out in the Arab-Islamic lands in recent years have rendered the old order hollow, mocked its claims to primacy and coherence. The moment our soldiers flushed Saddam Hussein from his filthy spider hole, we had put on display the farce and swindle of Arab authority."

The way I see it, this is the Bush plan! God forbid anyone saying so... but it's right there... We’ll stand down when they stand up! No one is calling for an immediate withdrawal!!! I’m not about to let the Dems take any credit for this, lets remember where this thing came from:

5 Days and Still No Apology From the AP

If you haven’t heard of what looks to be a totally bogus story by the AP entitledFlopping Aces

Here’s a quick rundown last Friday the AP reported taht six innocent Sunnis were dragged from a mosque, doused with kerosene and burned alive by Shia militiamen.

The AP’s official source was Police Capt. Jammil Hussein. CENTCOM initially said that it had not been able to confirm the incident. And said it appears that the incident probably never occurred at all. CENTCOM also said that the Police Capt. - Jamil Hussein - appears to be non-existent.
