Elect Obama? Don't Do It, America

There is something very strange about Obama and the Democrats. They seem to instinctively know what is bad for freedom and prosperity and rush to embrace it.

Barack Obama has openly bragged that his cap and trade energy policies will send energy prices through the roof; that high taxation may reduce tax revenues (by eroding the tax base), but that it is nevertheless needed to achieve "fairness"; that he will slash the military budget by 25% and assume the posture of a pacifist-appeaser in facing the world's bullies.

America under Obama will be less free, less prosperous and less secure. The lives of ordinary Americans will be worse, not better.

Socialism, i.e. "sharing the wealth" is an old fraud that has been tried in many times and many places and always results in less prosperity and financial security. But it sounds so good on paper! Some people have "too much" wealth, and others not enough; therefore, let's take the excess from the rich ones and give it to the poor ones, and then no one will be poor! It doesn't work, because an economy is not a static system and it doesn't take human nature into account.

When you steal the economic rewards from those who produce the goods and services, they stop producing or produce less; they stop investing, they stop taking the risks that an economy needs to grow, and they employ fewer people. When you give the stolen wealth to the non-producers, they lose any incentive to grow the skills, attitudes and work ethic necessary to move up the economic ladder. In other words, the population of producers decreases while non-producers increase and the economy goes steadily down hill.

Every college sophomore in every generation comes up with the same bright idea about the wonderful effects of wealth redistribution. It sounds so good. Utterly naive, they believe that no one else in the long sweep of history has ever had the same idea. The immature idealists in every generation want to start all over again and insist on proving it for themselves, taking all of us along with them on the same terrible ride. Those who do not know history are condemned to repeat it. Unfortunately, they make the rest of us repeat it as well, whether we want to or not.

The politically immature are with us always - they're called liberals, they're called Democrats.

America is in a strange place, politically. A strange confluence of many factors have created a historic opportunity for the far left to take over America and they are poised to do so. The result will be a form of national suicide.

Don't do it, America.

A Second American Civil War?

The Gallup poll today has Obama back in the lead at 146% to -86% over McCain. Or something like that. Apparently, the American people can't wait to elect a corrupt, ignorant and America-hating Marxist. That'll sure solve all of our problems.

I wonder if the Democrat Party has finally and irreversibly rendered the compact between the states inoperable. Has the basis for the Union been fatally damaged? Can the United States of America continue as it was designed by the founding fathers? Personally, I have my doubts. I don't know about you, but that's not the America my forefathers fought for, not the America I inherited or the one I want to leave to my children and grandchildren.

If Obama is elected, options for resistance to a new socialist, extreme left rule must be considered and discussed. Those options include secession, nullification of federal laws by individual states, and civil disobedience to Supreme Court edicts that undermine rather than express the intent of the Constitution.

Some feminist liberal idiot wrote this week that if Obama is not elected, there will be a second American civil war and that "blood will run in the streets." That's fine with me. Bring it on, bitches. I've got my Civil War musket ready, an 1856 Enfield rifled musket. I just need to buy some minie balls and I'm still looking for my Confederate kepi. But I'll be ready. Count on it.

Zogby Poll: McCAIN OVER OBAMA 48 - 47

Incredible! McCain has moved into a statistically insignificant lead over Obama, 48-47, per the Zogby Poll (according to the Drudge Report). Is it all coming apart, Obama?

ZOGBY SATURDAY: Republican John McCain has pulled back within the margin of error... McCain outpolled Obama 48% to 47% in Friday, one day, polling. He is beginning to cut into Obama's lead among independents, is now leading among blue collar voters, has strengthened his lead among investors and among men, and is walloping Obama among NASCAR voters.

The polls have been all over the map. I am convinced that all political polls are being taken by hippies high on hemp. (Oh that's a bit retro. Would you believe mystical moobats on Meth? Hopped-up hillbillies on Hooch'? KOS kids on Crack?)

It just goes to show that the polls are not to be believed and should be profoundly ignored. Except, maybe, when they show McCain winning!

Seriously, the Zogby poll may indicate that McCain's internal polling was correct after all, e.g. that the race is too close to call. This certainly lends credence to that view.

Could my good friend Kate from France be right? Could UNV blog have been correct all along about a pending McCain victory? Could the golden light of the sun be breaking through the gray clouds? Are those meadowlarks singing? Children laughing? Flowers blooming?

Probably not. But let's, for the sake of argument, assume that Zogby is right and get our butts to the polls on November 4. WE HAVE A CHANCE!!

Karl Rove's Advice on Polls: Ignore Them

Karl Rove, writing at the Wall Street Journal ("Don't Let the Polls Affect Your Vote"), says polls (the kind that predict the vote) are not nearly as precise as most people think. Also, polls can depress the vote and did so in the election of 2000. That's when CNN, based on exit polls, falsely declared that Al Gore had won Florida and voting there was now closed, but the voting booths in the panhandle (a Republican stronghold) were still open for another hour.

Many Republicans, thinking that (1) voting was closed and (2) that Gore had already won, didn't bother to show up to vote. Why would they? Had this erroneous information not been released, perhaps the close Florida vote would not have been such a cliff-hanger.

However, since the opinion polls are moving in our direction, let's not completely ignore them!

Polls Continue to Tighten: Nail-Biting Time for Obama

Over the past two weeks the polls have continued to tighten and are now within 2 to 3 points. Something is happening out there, and it isn't good news for Barack Obama.

Keep the faith, baby. And vote, vote, vote!

AP Pans Obama's Infomercial

The Associated Press is generally considered "in the tank" for Obama. However, in a "when pigs fly" moment, the AP has ripped Obama's infomercial tonight, saying that "it skips over budget realities." The article lists Obama's "spin" points and then rebuts them.

This has got be bad news for Obama. Read it all here.

Hat tip to the Corner.

McCain's Internal Polling Shows Race "Too Close to Call"

The McCain campaign says it has reason to be hopeful for the vote next Tuesday. Internal polling shows the race too close to call, with soft Democrats and women swinging back to the GOP.

AOL Online Poll Shows McCain Overwhelming Victory Over Obama

My older brother directed me to the weekly AOL Straw Poll on the presidential election, which has consistenly shown McCain winning overwhelmingly over Obama. Bro thinks this shows that the other polls are wrong, skewed and biased. I hope he's right.

However, online polls are not statistical or scientific, so I have to reserve some doubt as to its accuracy.

..

Nevertheless, you'd think it would be closer than this.

Check it out.

Think you know who Obama is and what he's all about? Consider how much he's hiding about his past and his accomplishments.

You couldn't get a job at McDonalds and become district manager after 143 days of experience. You couldn't become chief of surgery after 143 days of experience of being a surgeon. You couldn't get a job as a teacher and be the superintendent after 143 days of experience. You couldn't join the military and become a colonel after 143 days of experience. You couldn't get a job as a reporter and become the nightly news anchor after 143 days of experience. BUT.... 'From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United State Senator, to the time he announced he was forming a Presidential exploratory committee, he logged 143 days of experience in the Senate.

That's how many days the Senate was actually in session and working. After 143 days of work experience, Obama believed he was ready to be Commander In Chief, Leader of the Free World .... 143 days. We all have to start somewhere. The senate is a good start, but after 143 days, that's all it is - a start. AND, strangely, a large sector of the American public is okay with this and campaigning for him. We wouldn't accept this in our own line of work, yet some are okay with this for the President of the United States of America ?

If you're voting for Barack Obama, you really need to seriously reconsider such a dumb and destructive act.
