The RNC has a new campaign video today, and it’s not one that will fit into a 30-second spot. Fred Thompson talks for over twelve minutes about what a Barack Obama presidency would mean for America and the world. They’re talking hope and change, all right, but what exactly would that mean?

Great video. Fred is a great story teller and lays out a brilliant choice. The problem with his candidacy is that the media has not time for stories. They want 30 second sound bites and out

Fred’s wife was on Hannity and Colmes last night and she B*tch-slapped Colmes really good! McCain needs to put her on the road with him—she is really tough.

“Fred Thompson talks for over twelve minutes about what a Barack Obama presidency would mean for America and the world. They’re talking hope and change, all right, but what exactly would that mean?”


I just sent a letter (below) to editor of my local newspaper - Don’t know if I can send it to other papers .. but anyone here who would like to use it to copy and send .. just do it in your own name, if you want to. Obama’s signature on FOCA would abolish hundreds of rights with just one stroke of his pen.

Signing Freedom Of Choice Act

After discovery that an Illinois hospital was shelving abortion survival babies to die in soiled utility rooms, the Illinois Born Alive Infants Protection Act was introduced to provide legal and medical protection for all babies born alive. The sole speaker against this Act on the ILL Senate floor in 2001 and 2002 was Barack Obama, who chaired the committee, vetted the Bill, called for votes and voted against it four times.

Congress later passed the Federal Born-Alive Act in 2005 ensuring infants born alive to be considered human persons entitled to full protection of the law and is virtually identical to the Illinois bill. Even NARAL ultimately did not oppose it. Evidently, for Barack Obama, the most extreme pro-abortion politician to run for ANY office in the history of the United States, being human isn’t enough to warrant protection.

Space is not available to list Obama’s abortion stands; industrial production of human embryos, pro partial birth abortion, Hyde Amendment repeal, and more. All matters of public record, including his promise to Planned Parenthood Action in July, 2007: “The first thing I’d do as President is sign the Freedom of Choice Act.”

FOCA, as written and waiting for Obama’s signature, removes restrictions at all government levels for abortion at any age at any time. It requires tax-payer funding, outlaws abortion alternative funding, and denies rights of hospitals. doctors, nurses to refuse participation based on religious/conscience protection laws, and applies to every “Federal, State, and local statute, ordinance, regulation, administrative order, decision, policy, practice, or other action enacted, adopted, or implemented before, on, or after the date of enactment.”< http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c108:S.2020:L>

A “righteous wind?” I don’t think so.

Great video but I wonder will the masses understand when they are too busy watching American idol or reading about Lindsay Lohan in rehab for drugs and lesbian sex. The promise of the good life for them now means a handout, not a hand up, something for free because the MSM and Hollywood shows them lifestyles of rich and famous — the Brad Pitts and Angela Jollies — that they believe they will never achieve; but they want it all the same. Hand outs then just breeds more dependence, despondence and resentment... ultimately, this is the way government will control them.

MSM and Hollywood have been feeding the masses junk food — essentially Roman circuses — and the complimentary answer to that junk is government handouts — Roman bread — for life’s inequalities, life’s unfair hassles, life’s promise that YOU can become the next BRAD PIT AND ANGELA JOLLIE. Michael Moore says this exactly: you can never become these rich and famous people. That carrot will never be yours... take a hand out and ease the pain.

Somebody on another thread said Blacks & Latinos love handouts; personally, I think it is more wide spread. If the MSM and Democrat Government wants to control people, then the Democrats have become the party of Marx and MSM is really Pravda. Their idea of social justice will only weaken and demoralize America. Escapism will dominate, depression and resentment will set in, America will be dumbed down and brought down to her knees. Fred Thompson was right but who in America can hear that message over the loud din of American Idol?
