Media Shepherd

We have heard the phrase "mindless sheep following the shepherd", right? Let me give you an example:

There is a website called howobamagotelected.com in which one man, John Ziegler, interviewed Obama voters, asking him questions about certain details that were wrapped around the candidates. I was surprised and even appalled as to how many people couldn't correctly state which party controls Congress or even who said that there were 57 states, and yet they knew who bought $150,000 worth of clothes or who has a pregnant teenage daughter.

The website comes with a video of the interviewers that can also be found on youtube. Take good note as to their responses as from where do they get their information.

I am at a loss of words as of how we are coming along. These are people who are being duped or ill-informed by the liberal media. I cannot fully grasp it.

Unfortunately, until things change, the media shepherd will keep its sheep locked up in the pen.

End Hate With Hate?

That's the impression that I get from these radical groups. It's one thing that an elderly woman had her styrofoam cross stomped on when she carried it into a pro-gay marriage rally outside Palm Springs. It's another that this should happen. When being interviewed, the woman with the cross got yelled at and screamed at. One anti-8 person even blocked the camera with a "Say 'No' to Prop 8" sign.

There are radical anti-8 activist groups (mostly homosexual groups) out there that show intolerance towards those who disagree with them (i.e. the Mormon Church and the Catholic Church). I still cannot believe that the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence would insult the Catholic Church the way they do.

And now, many homosexual groups have created a blacklist of names of those who supported Proposition 8 telling people to boycott these groups.

These people are loud and clear by their actions. They call for tolerance and yet give none.

A New Hope?

According to Yahoo, the RNC is picking up a young face to challenge Obama in 2012, and his name is Bobby Jindal.

I personally am not a fan of politicians, but I am a fan of Jindal's. Ever since he took office as Governor of a Katrina-struck Louisiana, he has cleaned things up a bit, a lot better than Kathleen Blanco can ever say. When Gustav proposed a threat to New Orleans, he forced everyone in town to leave and even offered buses out so that when Gustav hit New Orleans, no one was injured.

Bobby Jindal, 37, is an Indian American, came from Indian parents, both Hindu, but he is a Roman Catholic and a very strong conservative. He has proven himself a strong and capable leader. When he was the head of the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals, he cleaned out a $400 billion dollar defecit in two years.

Jindal, however, has his eyes on regaining the Governor's chair in 2011. And I honestly don't blame him. He is so far doing very well as Governor. I believe more years would make him indestructible should he run for president.

I honestly believe that he would do very well as a vice presidential candidate. As a matter of fact, I think that a Palin/Jindal ticket would be the best thing ever. With what he is doing in Louisiana, I am not surprised that the Republican Party is looking at him as if he is the new hope of the party.

But, like I said, I don't blame him for focusing on regaining Louisiana.

Learn from Chuck

Chuck Norris, the ultimate badass that we all know, writes for Townhall occasionally. Many of us are well aware that he does not agree with Obama. So he wrote a piece about a letter to him giving his recommendations as to what to do.

He starts off the letter with recommending to always cite the Constitution. In order to uphold the law, you must know the law. As Commander-in-Chief, Obama must strictly defend and enforce Constitutional law.

Another thing he must do is value human life. Norris quotes Thomas Jefferson saying "The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only legitimate object of good government." Obama must abandon some of his "pro-choice" acts in order to defend human life especially if he considers himself a champion of the minority. It is the responsibility of the President to defend human life and not end it.

Norris continues saying that as president, he must govern to the center. We all know that Obama has a notoriety of being the most liberal man in the Senate. His voting record was used as a means to voting for him. If he is as liberal as President as he was Senator, he will only last one term in my opinion. Norris says that moving further from the left, on the other hand, will bring about a resurrection of the Republican Congress much like when Clinton was president.

I believe we can learn a lot from Chuck Norris, not from his action-packed movies but rather his action-packed speaking. What concerns me is how Obama will handle Pelosi and Reid. A liberal triumvirate I fear will bring our country further downward.

Learn from Chuck.

Newt Vs. Steele in the RNC Battle Royale

The battle is on! As Tim Duncan ends his term as Chairman of the Republican National Committee, two names come to mind as to who will replace him: former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and former Lt. Governor of Maryland Michael Steele. Those who are close to each candidate feel like there needs to be a new face to represent and strengthen the Party under the Obama administration.

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/nov/11/gingrich-steele-duel-for-rnc-leadership/?page=2

Those who support Newt say that he has a knack for new ideas and exuberance. Those who support Steele say that he has the look that will propel the party forward and stronger. One blogger is not too fond of Newt as the Chairman. Ross Douthat of the Atlantic wrote a column explaining that he was appalled at Gingrich's list of things that the Republicans must do.

http://rossdouthat.theatlantic.com/archives/2008/11/newt_and_new_ideas.php

The list is here:

I don't see anything wrong with the list, which includes repealing the gas tax over the summer, holding an earmark moratorium for a year, and cutting funding to the Census Bureau ( Newt says that the Bureau is inefficient).

The battle will continue on for a while, but either way the new Chairman must bring the Party together stronger than ever, hopefully back to the way it was under Ronald Reagan.

So Much For Jarrett

Yes, according to one of Obama's advisors, Valerie Jarrett (who, yes, is an Obama advisor) won't be replacing Ol' Bamma in the Senate.

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/11/10/sources-jarrett-headed-to-white-house-not-senate/

Jarrett, an attorney and close friend of the Obamas since the beginning, helped Obama out in the election process, and buzz was about saying that she would replace him as Senator. Well, Obama says that she is too valuable and wants to keep her close to him.

Having said that, other Democrats from Illinois such as Jesse Jackson, Jr. are eyeing that seat. Governor Blagojevich will tell us soon who will be taking it.

Can you say "political machine"?

Economy won't stop Obama from spending

Wow. This is what Obama's aides say. Despite all that is going on with our economy and the current levels of spending that is going on, Obama is going to spend taxpayers' money through the nose for his plans on universal healthcare.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20081109/pl_nm/us_usa_politics_stimulus;_ylt=Ah0ka8BAzLimbwUHyQVDt8Ks0NUE

"Meanwhile the U.S. Congress should act to ease the pain of an economy sliding into recession by extending unemployment benefits and boosting aid to states struggling to meet their health-care obligations, they said."

John Podesta, co-chair of Obama's transition team, is saying that Obama will do whatever it takes to bring about universal healthcare, end our dependance on foreign oil, and reforming public education.

We've spent over $700 billion; let's spend a little more!

"Obama's stimulus proposals have been estimated to cost around $190 billion."

And the Senate is planning to bring out a stimulus package that Senate Republicans defeated. The government will probably spend close to a trillion dollars...just for economic stimulus. Imagine the taxation that will exist.

If the economy goes under and the deficit grows further under Obama, this is why.
