Michelle’s Boot Camps For Radicals
Democrats’ reintroduction of militant Michelle Obama in Denver was supposed to show her softer side. But it only highlighted a radical part of her resume: Public Allies.
Barack Obama was a founding member of the board of Public Allies in 1992, resigning before his wife became executive director of the Chicago chapter of Public Allies in 1993. Obama plans to use the nonprofit group, which he features on his campaign Web site, as the model for a national service corps. He calls his Orwellian program, “Universal Voluntary Public Service.”
Big Brother had nothing on the Obamas. They plan to herd American youth into government-funded reeducation camps where they’ll be brainwashed into thinking America is a racist, oppressive place in need of “social change.”

No Obamarama
Not one ‘toon about B. Hussein this morning. Perhaps I’ll find a few later, but for now…. Sometimes, I wonder what the cartoon world is really thinking. Here are just a few I ‘toons I found, all with one topic…..Sarah Palin.
Some were positive, some were downright insulting, mostly to women. These are just a sampling. They all seem to have one theme though. Minimizing McCain. Yes, he wasn’t the best speech giver of the bunch, but the content of his speech was quite impressive. If he can win me over, then he should be able to win over almost every other skeptic. Yes, I still have reservations when it comes to border security, but hopefully, WE the People will be able to get through to him. :) Besides, the leftist media is terrified of this ticket, and that all good! Heh.

No Spin
B. Hussein finally shows up on The O’Reilly Factor. This should be interesting.
If I can keep my dinner down.

From The Houston Pravda? Really??
Obama’s vision may get a reality check (28 August 2008)
Barack Obama accepted the Democratic nomination Thursday night with a lofty vision for the nation’s future that is far easier to articulate than to accomplish.
The next occupant of the White House will inherit a half-trillion-dollar budget deficit that will severely crimp any plans for spending on new programs, as well as the messy endgame of the war in Iraq and growing energy and health-care challenges. A look at Obama’s promises and the realities he would confront:
THE ECONOMY AND DEFICITS
The promise: Obama has pledged to attack the weak economy with another stimulus plan to follow the $168 billion package of tax rebates for individuals and tax breaks for businesses that Congress passed last February. Obama’s stimulus would include tax rebates, aid to state and local governments and increased spending for infrastructure projects. He would also increase spending in other areas such as alternative energy programs. Obama promised to “go through the federal budget, line by line, eliminating programs that no longer work and making the ones we do need work better and cost less.”
The problem: Obama’s spending plans and middle-class tax relief will collide with the hard reality of exploding budget deficits. The Congressional Budget Office projects this year’s deficit will hit $400 billion, driven higher by the weak economy and the stimulus program Congress has already passed. And the Bush administration is forecasting that next year’s imbalance will hit an all-time high of $482 billion.
Read the rest here.
Fascinating. Why? Because The Pravda, aka Chronicle, is fairly left wing MSM. I’m surprised they even allowed such a reality into their paper. Yup….B. Hussein has got some real problems with the real world….he doesn’t seem to live in it with the rest of us.

Ann on Sarah
The Best Man Turned Out To Be A Woman
John McCain’s choice of Sarah Palin, governor of Alaska, as his running mate finally gave Republicans a reason to vote for him — a reason, that is, other than B. Hussein Obama.
The media are hopping mad about McCain’s vice presidential selection, but they’re really furious over at MSNBC. After drawing “Keith (plus) Obama” hearts on their denim notebooks, Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews stayed up all night last Thursday, writing jokes about Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, the presumed vice presidential pick. Now they can’t use any of them.
So the media are taking it out on our brave Sarah and her 17-year-old daughter.

Dhimmis Compare Repubs to Nazis!
On the heels of Robert Wexler and the Obama campaign pushing the Nazi smear on Sarah Palin, the Nazi talk strikes again. Last night on Larry King, Dee Dee Meyers described the theme of last night’s convention program - Country First - as a “very exclusive message” that she interpreted as meaning “basically either you’re a Republican or you don’t love your country.”
King used Meyers’ response as a segue to his other guests, Jesse Ventura and DL Hughley, and this is what they said:
KING: Yes, wasn’t that surprising, Jesse, even though you didn’t see it, that the theme was “we’re the patriots”?VENTURA: Well, you know, the Republicans have been pushing really Hermann Goering on us, the Nazi, since 2001. I mean, you know…
KING: Hermann Goering?
VENTURA: Yes. He said that it’s easy to take a country to war. You have to convince them they’re under attack. Denounce the pacifist for being unpatriotic and also for putting the country into danger. And yet, Thomas Jefferson said dissension is the greatest form of patriotism.
I like to follow the teachings of Thomas Jefferson a little bit more than Herman Goering.
KING: D.L., are you…
HUGHLEY: To follow…
KING: I’m sorry.
HUGHLEY: To follow up on what Jesse was saying, it did remind me — I promise you, the first thing I thought when I saw those “Country First” signs, it reminded me of Nazis. It really — I mean they just seemed so, you know — that seemed to be a country that I don’t recognize.
Excuse me? Perhaps you don’t recognize the country anymore because you and your ilk have been working so hard to this once great Republic into a socialist, defeated, third world country!

Race War?
So, I’m snooping around the blogosphere, as I do when I have so many things that should be done, and I come across a post at Gribbit’s World that just about floored me.
Why? Well, he references this little gem from an obvious moonbat ‘columnist’ at the Philadelphia Daily News.
Other than the usual half truths, and complete fabrications that are the stock and trade of the far left, there was this:
If McCain wins, look for a full-fledged race and class war, fueled by a deflated and depressed country, soaring crime, homelessness - and hopelessness!
Uh….I beg your pardon? Is this lunatic actually advocating for a war? Between races?
As Gribbit says:
It seems to me that if the African-American community fails to accept the loss of Barack Hussein Obama in a civil manner, then perhaps this nation is not ready for an African-American as President. Threats cannot determine the outcome of this election. For if they do the nation cannot survive.

A Little Comparison
A bit of copy and paste, but well worth reading!
Sarah Palin vs. Barack Obama
By Gerard Baker
Democrats, between sniggers of derision and snorts of disgust, contend that Sarah Palin, John McCain’s vice-presidential pick is ridiculously unqualified to be president.
It’s a reasonable objection on its face except for this small objection: it surely needs to be weighed against the Democrats’ claim that their own candidate for president is self-evidently ready to assume the role of most powerful person on the planet.
At first blush, here’s what we know about the relative experience of the two candidates. Both are in their mid-forties and have held statewide elective office for less than four years. Both have admitted to taking illegal drugs in their youth.
So much for the similarities. How about the differences?

Gustav Stuff
Let’s also remember, New Orleans is NOT the only city in the area. There are many cities, in other states, that may be even more affected. Sadly, it looks like the powers that be learned nothing from the flooding. It wasn’t Katrina that caused the devastation, it was feckless politicians! And no, I do NOT mean Bush!
Mississippi managed to rebuild fairly quickly, yet those in NOLA are still whining the gubmint isn’t doing enough. Hint: Git up off your hind end, make sure your local officials are doing their job, which they don’t seem to be, and start cleaning. I’m fairly sure there are organizations still providing brooms, mops, cleaning solutions, and even manpower to aid those who REALLY want it. Better yet, get the hell out of that sinking cesspool!
Whew. Ok, that rant is over….here’s one from those in the know:
New Orleans Repeating Deadly Levee Mistakes
Signs are emerging that history is repeating itself in the Big Easy, still healing from Katrina: People have forgotten a lesson from four decades ago and believe once again that the federal government is constructing a levee system they can prosper behind.
In a yearlong review of levee work here, The Associated Press has tracked a pattern of public misperception, political jockeying and legal fighting, along with economic and engineering miscalculations since Katrina, that threaten to make New Orleans the scene of another devastating flood.
Dozens of interviews with engineers, historians, policymakers and flood zone residents confirmed many have not learned from public policy mistakes made after Hurricane Betsy in 1965, which set the stage for Katrina; many mistakes are being repeated.
More.
Oh yeah, and let’s not forget the Michael Morons, or Fowler and Splat….er Spratt.
