Obama Signed a Contract with the Chicago Socialist Party
Everything on the Post Below is Hyperlinked to a site within the Chicago Democratic party archives, there is no conjecture, no guessing, The fact is that as recently as 1996 Senator Obama was an active member of the Chicago Democratic Socialist Party:
On their website the Democratic Socialist of America (DSA) has a description of their political perspective called Where We Stand. It says, in part,
We are socialists because we reject an international economic order sustained by private profit, alienated labor, race and gender discrimination, environmental destruction, and brutality and violence in defense of the status quo.
We are socialists because we share a vision of a humane international social order based both on democratic planning and market mechanisms to achieve equitable distribution of resources, meaningful work, a healthy environment, sustainable growth, gender and racial equality, and non-oppressive relationships.

Heh
Danged if the guy doesn’t come up with some good stuff! 
“That One”
Ok, this is getting more than petty. The left is whining about McCain’s use of “that one”? Criminy people…..GROW UP!
Obama Backers Trying to Create Media Storm over Harmless McCain Remark
Another Huffington Post writer said:
In tonight’s presidential debate, Senator McCain failed big time in that most basic principle of bipartisan leadership: attributing inherent worth to his equal from the opposite side of the political spectrum…Senator McCain, tonight you referred to Senator Obama as “…that one.”
Not “Senator Obama”, “my opponent”, or “he does” (which would have fit the context of the rhetorical question Senator McCain asked the audience in his previous sentence).
Not even “that man.”
But “that one.”
Who speaks that way about another person? Who calls a person “that one”?
Certainly not a future president… especially one who claims he knows how to work across party lines…
Are they freaking kidding? That’s what they get their knickers in a twist over? These people should be more worried about whether or not they’ll still have the privilege to act like total morons under a Bubba Hussein presidency, or will they have to join the ‘citizen army’, or any number of problems that WILL arrise. Jeez!
Debate
Yes, I did end up watching that so called debate. I wish I could say McCain knocked Bubba Hussein out of the park. I wish I could, but I can’t. Honestly, he did have him on substance, but BO had it on delivery. I keep thinking of that lipstick and pig thing.
BO can pretty up things all he wants, he’s still an empty suit. But are people really paying attention? Evidently not, since there are so many who seem to think Obama won that round. Trying to be objective, I don’t think either one of them won. It was the same ol’ crap, delivered on whole wheat, instead of on a croissant.
Feckless Weasels
Media Owned By Dems
Saving Liberal Fannies
by Brent Bozell III
It seems like only yesterday when Enron and Worldcom collapsed. Throughout these ordeals our national media labored long and hard to paint Worldcom’s Bernie Ebbers as the face of Capitalism Corrupted while connecting the dots between President Bush and Enron’s “Kenny Boy” Lay, in the effort to demonstrate that corruption in action.
Now it is not a couple of business behemoths in trouble; it’s the entire economy that is teetering over a credit crisis brought on in part by corrupt government-sponsored enterprises and liberal politicians. So where are those same journalists now?
They’re out there finding fault only with the evil private sector. The mushrooming federal government and the stewards of its never-ending expansion cannot be questioned.

McCain pledges homeowner help; Obama blames Bush policies
Just minutes into a spirited town-hall forum in which the two nominees clashed early and often, the Republican candidate said that as president, he would require the federal government to delve into the market to buy up bad mortgage debts and allow homeowners to refinance their mortgages.
“Is it expensive? Yes. But we all know, my friends, until we stabilize home values in America, we’re never going to start turning around and creating jobs and fixing our economy,” Mr. McCain said at Belmont University.
The rocky economy has boosted Democrat Sen. Barack Obama in the polls, but last night, he offered no new proposals. Instead, he said the current economic crisis was the “final verdict on the failed economic policies of the last eight years” that President Bush pursued and were “supported by Senator McCain.”
And they are both morons! Yeah, I see tight times ahead for a while, but giving the gubmint even more power is NOT the smart thing to do. And Bubba Hussein has got to start paying attention to reality. Bush’s lack of action can take SOME blame, but his fellow Dhimmicrats need to chomp down on that WHOLE pie of cause and effect!
Central Banks Coordinate Cut in Rates
Central banks around the world cut short-term interest rates by up to half a percent on Wednesday after investors across Asia and Europe unleashed waves of sell orders onto already depressed stock exchanges.
I’d say the panic, which is ridiculous, is due to the lack of confidence investors have in governments, not a lack of confidence in the market itself. When you have gubmint tinkering, you have panic. Anyone who believes any government is good with money, raise your hand. Yeah…that’s what I thought.
Hamas Offering Online Courses in Practical Jihad
The Islamist Hamas terrorist organization has initiated an online course in explosives, military weapons and tactics for would-be jihad fighters. Aimed at the population of the Palestinian Authority, the course is called “Get Ready” and is designed to prepare the population for war with Israel.
First exposed outside Palestinian Authority and jihadist circles on Monday by Israel’s Channel 10 TV, the sophisticated course includes highly detailed practical and theoretical lessons, as well as sample videos of jihadist attacks. All manner of weapons are described, analyzed and their proper use explained by masked Hamas instructors.
Is this what the Pallies teach their children? Lessons on how to murder effectively? I honestly can’t say what I’m thinking right now. Lord, forgive me, I have NO sympathy for such people.
Ike debris crews will take longer to clean up
The total volume in the city and county is staggering, possibly as high as 12 million cubic yards, or enough to fill up the Astrodome more than six times, according to city and county officials.
And costs could exceed $200 million, as much as 50 percent more than what local officials originally set aside. At least three-fourths of that is expected to be reimbursed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, officials said.
Dayyum! That’s a lot of garbage! Maybe they should consider creating a Mt. Trashmore.
North Korea fires 2 short-range missiles into the Yellow Sea
Chosun Ilbo said that the number of rockets fired was unknown but that they were either KN-01 land-to-sea missiles or Styx ship-to-ship missiles.
North Korea has deployed more missiles around the island and declared it a no-sail zone, meaning that it may launch more missiles to mark the anniversary on Oct. 10 of the ruling Workers’ Party of Korea, the newspaper quoted the government source as saying.
Now, I wonder why the NKs would be testing short range missiles? Let’s see, who is close by they would want to take out? (sarcasm) “Air to ship” my left eyeball.
More than 300 arrested in immigration sweep
More than 300 suspected illegal immigrants were arrested Tuesday morning at a chicken processing plant near Greenville, S.C. — the latest in a stepped-up federal enforcement effort that has resulted in the deportation of thousands of illegal workers in recent months.
Tuesday’s raid was led by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials and involved hundreds of agents from numerous agencies. The target was Columbia Farms, a processing plant that had been the subject of a 10-month criminal investigation.
Resident David Wynn witnessed the hubbub from down the street and applauded the news.
I applaud right along with ya.
Algeria: Al-Qaeda mufti ‘sacked for opposing suicide attacks’
The leader of Al-Qaeda’s North African branch has sacked its Islamic scholar or mufti, Rashid Zerami, for opposing suicide bombings in Algeria, local daily Ennahar reports.
Zerami clashed over the issue with the Al-Qaeda Organisation in the Islamic Maghreb’s leader, Abdel Malik Droukedel, Ennahar said.
The paper cited the testimony of an unnamed Al-Qaeda turncoat who is now in police custody.
Besides the use of suicide bombers, Droukedel and Zerami also clashed over Al-Qaeda’s recent strategy of kidnapping Algerian businessmen or their relatives to obtain a ransom, especially in the northern coastal Kabylia area.
Such a novel idea. Standing up against murder. Wouldn’t it be interesting if MORE Muslims did that? They can keep spouting that “religion of peace” BS all they want….actions speak a LOT louder than words.
Syrian troops gather on Lebanese border
There was no sign Wednesday that the Syrian troops were preparing to cross the border. Syria says the deployment — first made public several weeks ago — is aimed at preventing smuggling from Lebanon.
But the United States and some anti-Syrian politicians in Beirut have warned that Syria could attempt an incursion, a concern raised especially after a Sept. 27 car bombing in Damascus killed 17 people.
In Washington, Deputy State Department spokesman Robert Wood on Monday said, “Any intervention by Syrian troops into Lebanon would be unacceptable.”
I was under the impression that Lebanon was not a Syrian ‘colony’, contrary to Syria’s actions in recent years. My mother would be appalled. 
Russian troops pull out of Georgia buffer zones
Russian troops completed a pullback on Wednesday from buffer zones next to breakaway Georgian regions that it had established during a war between the two countries in August, a Georgian official said.
“We can confirm that from the so-called buffer zones the withdrawal is complete,” Georgian Interior Ministry spokesman Shota Utiashvili said.
There was no immediate confirmation from a European Union mission monitoring the pullback from the two zones, which are on Georgian territory adjoining the rebel, pro-Russian areas of South Ossetia and Abkhazia.
Uh huh…..which makes me question….what are they up to now?
China milk victims may have doubled to over 90,000
The number of Chinese children ill from toxic milk formula may have nearly doubled since the Health Ministry’s last public count, local media reports show, but an official said Wednesday the number of new cases is falling.
Beijing is struggling with fallout from adulteration of milk with the industrial chemical melamine.
Four babies died and thousands of infants fell sick in China, while around the world products made with Chinese milk have been recalled.
Perhaps this ‘world market’ we have right now wasn’t such a great idea. Importing things that could be made or produced at home just as easily should be a priority. Oh, and of course, it would also create JOBS! I’m pretty sure that most nations can raise cows.

TN Democrat’s Kid Indicted
Tenn. state rep’s son indicted in Palin e-mail hacking
A federal grand jury has indicted the son of a Democratic Tennessee state lawmaker in connection with the hacking of the e-mail account of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
David Kernell, 20, of Knoxville, the son of state Rep. Mike Kernell, was scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday before U.S. Magistrate Judge C. Clifford Shirley, according to a statement from the Justice Department.
David Kernell was indicted Tuesday by a federal grand jury in Knoxville for intentionally accessing without authorization the e-mail account of Palin, Alaska’s governor, the Justice Department said.
Kernell, an economics major at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, faces a maximum of five years in prison, a $250,000 fine and a three-year term of supervised release.
His father, a Memphis Democrat, is chairman of Tennessee’s House Government Operations Committee. Mike Kernell has said he had nothing to do with the hacking incident.
I honestly don’t know what to say about this. I feel bad for the kid’s family. Here, you’ve got a guy who is representing his district, I assume, the best he can, and his kid pulls some crap like this. The kid is 20 years old, he should have known better. Didn’t his parents teach him cheating, lying and stealing is NOT the way to go through life?
Oh, wait a minute….dad is a Democrat. Seriously, though, not ALL Dems are cheats, liars and theives.
Verse of the Day
Ezekiel 28:4-8
4 With thy wisdom and with thine understanding thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures:
5 By thy great wisdom and by thy traffick hast thou increased thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up because of thy riches:
6 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God;
7 Behold, therefore I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations: and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.
8 They shall bring thee down to the pit, and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain in the midst of the seas.
