Voting for Obamarx because he’s. . . prolife?

My sister (thanks, sis), just sent me this (edited) audio clip where Howard Stern sends “Sal” into Harlem to find out the real reasons that folks are voting for Obama. You can hear the full audio here, but be warned – it is typical, foul, Howard Stern.

Here’s the first part of the (edited) clip:

Stern: I did promise to play you this. . . [Sal] went up to Harlem to ask people who they were going to vote for. And, most people said, “Barak Obama.” So, what he said, is, “do you support Obama’s views?” but he attributed all of McCain’s views to Obama. And it didn’t sway anyone.
Co-host: But it didn’t cause people to even flinch! They went right along.
Stern: This is crazy! So, listen to this:

Sal: Some people speculate that Blacks are voting for Obama strictly because he’s black and not because of his policies. So we took McCain’s policies and pretended they were Obama’s. This is what they had to say:

Sal: For the election, Obama or McCain.
Man #1: I like Obama.

Sal: Now, what don’t you like about McCain?
Man #1: McCain seems to not really know what he’s doing right now.

Sal: Are you more for Obama’s policies because he’s prolife or because he thinks our troops ought to stay in Iraq and finish this war?
Man #1: I think because he thinks our troops ought to stay in Iraq and finish this war. I’m really for him with that. Definitely.

Sal: Okay. Now, how about as far as him being prolife? Do you support Obama in that case?
Man #1: Yeah, I do. I do. I support him in that case.

Sal: And if he wins, would you have any problem with Sarah Palin being vice-president?
Man#1: No I wouldn’t, not at all.

Sal: So, you think he made the right choice in that?
Man #1: I definitely do.

I guess we really shouldn’t be surprised. As Michelle Malkin points out, the man who is only a “heart beat away” from being President under Obama can’t count. Is this election uninspiring or what?

Barack Obamarx

“I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind ya’ – that they’ve got a chance at success, too.”

The theory of the Communists may be summed up in the single sentence: Abolition of private property.

Bwa-ha-ha. . . When the Democrats Rise, Civilization Will Fall

Kudos to the folks at American Elephant – reminding us of what ACORN is all about.

Hey, we gotta laugh (or just cry, cry, cry. . . )

A House Divided Against Itself Cannot Stand

You know, as soon as Sarah Palin was nominated for VP, the first thing I did (after reading up about her) was run to my husband and we both blurted out the same thing - Doug Phillips and his crew are probably frothing at the mouth.

And they were. . . um. . . are!

If it weren’t so sad, it would be utterly laughable. And since Psalms does tell us that God laughs at the nations, maybe that’s just what we ought to do. Have a Laughfest at the Patriarchialists.

I wonder, sometimes, if these Phillips-huggers ever consider that the picture they portray to the world is not one of being “set apart” or “holy” or “devout.” The picture they paint is one of being spiritually snobby, holier-than-thou and extremist. They certainly do nothing to encourage fellow believers to join together in accordance with the teaching of Christ.

Paul teaches in 1 Corinthians that “all things are lawful.” He continues to say that “not all things are profitable.” But, just in case we missed something, he repeats it: “all things are lawful, but not all things edify.”

You know, this is so much like when Mrs. Palin turned to a heckler yesterday and after blessing him, lets him know that her son is paying the price in a foreign land to protect the right for that heckler to make an idiot out of himself.

Jesus did the same thing for us. When He paid the ultimate price, He paid it to fulfill the Law. Not to erase it (the end hasn’t come, yet), but to fulfill it. So, for Mrs. Palin, “all things are lawful.”

Including running for Vice President.

Including her husband Todd being the “Mr. Mom.”

And, it isn’t really up to us, or the Phillipies, to decide if it is profitable for the Palins or not.

One thing I do know – even if it is wrong for Mrs. Palin to run for and become VP, as a Christian, the price has already been paid for her forgiveness. And if God no longer condemns her. . . well, I wouldn’t want to be the one slinging mud.

No one will get everything 100% correct in this lifetime. Not even Doug Phillips. But that shouldn’t put us as Christians at each other throats. Perhaps it would do Mr. Phillips and his gang some good to spend some time at the eye doctor before they try to see what the Palins’ ailments are.

Debate Zen?

The family and I were all like, “What the heck?” when Brokaw asked the last question of the debate. Too bad McCain wasn’t as quick on his feet as this Michelle Malkin reader. That would have been really funny!

Go Mom! Go Mom! Go Mom!

I just got a call from my mom. She is watching the Presidential Candiate debate and is about 15 minutes ahead of us as we had to delay our start to get dinner on the (coffee) table. She is peeved that her local Fox affiliate, in the post-debate time, is just showing video of MObama (that’s Michelle+Obama) and totally ignoring Cindy and John McCain.

We aren’t there, yet, so I’ll have to wait and see.

But my mom is having a sort of renaissance this election year. Although she hasn’t voted Democrat since before Carter, she has always maintained her Democrat registration, ostensibly to be able to vote in the primaries. Until this year. She decided to can that excuse and just jump in with both feet and is now a registered Republican.

But more than that, she has gained a political “second wind” as she is approaching retirement. We spent quite a bit of time on the phone this past week during the “Bail Out” voting (“Rescue Bill”? I’m sorry, but a skunk is a skunk is a skunk – no matter how many corks you use). And she got so fired up that she actually called her (worthless) Congressman to let him know, in no uncertain terms (you have to know my mom) that she opposed the Bail Out Package. She’s never done that before!

Tonight, she told me that she’s going to have to talk with me tomorrow because she wants to write her paper. That she is ready to start to harassing some people over the issue of whether or not Obama is a true “natural born” citizen.

I’m excited to see my mom becoming passionate about politics.

Go Mom!

Here’s a little more about what is worrying Mom:

Hilarious!

So glad for these people who are a whole lot more tech savvy than me!

Help Barack Hussein Obama’s Brother, George Hussein Onyango Obama

Barack Obama lives in a $1.6 million home in Kenwood Chicago while his brother George Obama lives in a 65 square foot shack in Huruma, Kenya. Although Barack, the Democratic presidential nominee, reported $4.2 milion dollars on his 2007 tax return, his brother lives on less than a dollar a day.

Barack is pathetic!

Where’s the Beef?

So, what happened to that 700 Billion 850 Billion “Financial Rescue”? I thought this was supposed to inject confidence in the market! It’s only been like. . . not even a full business day!

My 12 year old piped up at lunch, “I guess it was just more bad men getting more money with nothing to show for it.”

But, all is not lost. Even if you want to describe a “crash” as a loss of 10% or more, we’re still . . . 2.84% away from that! No worries.

Seriously, Wiki informs us:

A stock market crash is a sudden dramatic decline of stock prices across a significant cross-section of a stock market. Crashes are driven by panic as much as by underlying economic factors. They often follow speculative stock market bubbles.

Stock market crashes are social phenomena where external economic events combine with crowd behavior and psychology in a positive feedback loop where selling by some market participants drives more market participants to sell. Generally speaking, crashes usually occur under the following conditions^{[citation needed]}: a prolonged period of rising stock prices and excessive economic optimism, a market where Price to Earnings ratios exceed long-term averages, and extensive use of margin debt and leverage by market participants.

There is no numerically specific definition of a crash but the term commonly applies to steep double-digit percentage losses in a stock market index over a period of several days. Crashes are often distinguished from bear markets by panic selling and abrupt, dramatic price declines. Bear markets are periods of declining stock market prices that are measured in months or years. While crashes are often associated with bear markets, they do not necessarily go hand in hand. The crash of 1987 for example did not lead to a bear market. Likewise, the Japanese Nikkei bear market of the 1990s occurred over several years without any notable crashes.

So, bottom line: folks, we ain’t there, yet.

Here’s some great info from my favorite columnist, Michelle Malkin.
