With the coming of the messiah, praise be his name Hussein, I am sure to be left behind, being an old white guy. Therefore, I am looking for tasty recipes for dog chow and buzzard. Next week we will discuss dog and cat, the delicacies, but, for now the staples. ;-)

I was reading today in Eric Voegelin’s, Autobiographical Reflections, when an eerie comment caught my attention. The similarities between the political situations in Germany in the 1920’s have and now can be frightening. Voegelin, trying to explain the seemingly inexplicable rise to power of Hitler in Germany in his own day, had this to say: “The phenomenon of Hitler is not exhausted by his person. His success must be understood in the context of an intellectually or morally ruined society in which personalities who otherwise would be grotesque, marginal figures can come to public power because they superbly represent the...

Yes, the bailout passed. But Paulson announced that he is going to use the bailout powers to take a 10% stake in all banks- outright Socialism! WHY aren't there tens of thousands of calls to President Bush and Congress objecting and demanding the replacement of Paulson?

What Lies Beneath Farrakhan’s “Messiah”? This past week, Louis Farrakhan referred to Barack Hussein Obama as “the Messiah.” I’m going to repeat that. Louis Farrakhan referred to Barack Hussein Obama as “the Messiah.” For those who don’t know, Farrakhan is the leader of the Nation of Islam in America. The leader of the Nation of Islam. A muslim. To a cheering crowd of muslims, referring to Barack Hussein Obama as his (and their) “Messiah.” Problem is that Barack Hussein Obama claims to be a “Christian.” A Christian who lives a few blocks away from Big Louie Farrakhan in Chicago, but...

Barack Obama went to Kenya in 2006 for campaign for Raila Odinga. That would be considered the first violation of the Logan Act. The other violation of the Logan Act would be the secret dealings with the Iraqi government by Barack Obama to delay troop withdrawals by the Bush Administration. Interfering with Iraq at a time when US Troops are in harm's way is a very serious offense for a US Senator to be involved in. I believe both charges could result in Impeachment hearings for Barack Obama -- whether he wins or loses the election.

My husband brought a very good point. Voting fraud being so rampant in the USA, what happened? Our SOLDIERS saw that the Iraqis' had the first ever free election. I am sure our SOLDIERS are appalled at what is happening right now here at home.

It is no coincidence that this dangerous candidate is well-connected with Islamic figures, supports, terrorists, funds and cheered by the Islamic world! Here's convincing proof and a CLEAR pattern! Fits like a jig-saw puzzle. What attracts Islamists to Obama? I believe they perceive clearly that his worldview and his view of America is similar to their own! Obama was the first major party presidential candidate to recite the shahada...Obama was sending a signal to the Muslim world he he is one of their own, while the non-Muslim world did not catch the significance! Louis Farrakhan, Nation of Islam , Raila...

For the past few nights, McCain yard signs have been stolen from several Bradley County front lawns. In the same areas, Obama signs are still standing. Residents have been advised to call Sheriff Gobble's office. This is an unusual occurrence for Bradley County.

The following communication from a union organization somehow landed in my email box. ***************************************************** Dear XYZ This Nov. 4, Americans won't just be voting for candidates. We'll be voting for change, or for business as usual. We'll be voting for policies—policies that could favor working families, or Wall Street and Big Business. Business as usual is a powerful force, and Wall Street has a lot of influence. Which is why Working America needs people like you. In the final four days before the election, Working America canvassers will knock on a quarter of a million doors to mobilize our members...

I want a pledge from the candidates that if elected they will move quickly and deliberately to make the sponsorship of, participation in, or otherwise facilitating of voter fraud a class 1 federal felony with a minimum penalty of life in prison. As a veteran I have witnessed the extreme sacrifice of those who have paid the ultimate price to ensure our most dear liberty, that of the vote. When others endeavor to negate a lawful vote they are achieving the same thing as those who sought to deny the vote. I see no effective difference between an ACORN activist,...

I think this says it all Thank you, Mark Gregg, wherever and whoever you are. Dear Mr. Obama, It is October 2, 2008. My name is Mark Gregg. I am a 50 something conservative white male. I have followed your campaign closely, including the speeches you and others made at the democratic national convention. I am respectfully providing you with seven simple (probably shallow) reasons why I could never vote for you. I believe my opinion is shared by many people. While there may not be quite enough to prevent you from becoming president of this nation, I do think...

Sure, I suppose everyone has some influence in some way over the economy. And I suppose it is the American people themselves who have the greatest influence of all over the economy, and perhaps all of our problems are due in the larger part to the American people themselves and what they have been doing to themselves and to other Americans and who they have been electing. That maybe the American people themselves are to blame, and not Wall Street, and not all the politicians, and not the Jews and such. That, maybe the American people themselves are the problem,...

Last night I heard a 3 min. snippet of Savage. He was talking about a third party; publicity or is he serious?

Public lies as a POTUS candidate,relations with terrorists,illegal dirty fundings of his campaign,manufactured financial(not economical first)crisis... Can this man legally pretend to run for POTUS? Impeachment anyone?

"Senator Obama, I'm sick and tired of you talking about the "failed Bush policies". Senator Obama, give me one major Bush policy that the Democrat Congress voted down. Seems to me, you did not defeat a single Bush policy, from FISA, to war funding, to the Bailout package. In fact, i guess you really liked president Bush's policies until you felt you could make a campaign issue out of them." There is, however, one important Bush policy that you failed to follow, and that was his recommendation, made over 15 times, to reform Freddie and Fannie. NOT FOLLOWING PRESIDENT BUSH'S...

So why are they receiving money?

Just turned on Fox & Friends. They said that the McCain people will be on this morning with Big news and they would immediately get a response from the Obama campaign. Meanwhile, while we wait they are FURIOUS about Acorn and are hyping the Acorn story big time.....

Why does McCain not fire back at Nobama regarding Iraq? It is my understanding that the conflict in Iraq has nothing to do with 9/11 or terrorists. Am I correct? Wasn't there a bunch of UN sanctions that Hussien was supposed to comply with? Weren't there a bunch of gutless countries supposed to help us there? It frustrates me that McCain doesn't set that record straight during these debates. Why doesn't he???

Where is the Outrage against Congress? I’m not one to post a vanity, but in this case I think my marketing background and experience in reaching the American public is useful. Question: Doesn’t your skin crawl every time you hear the expression from the Democrats “Are your better off than…blah, blah, blah?” What comes to my mind and many in so called “flyover country” (and I image all over the US) is yeah, I was better off two years ago. What happened in the last two years? Congress has been run by Democrats and the President has caved to their...

I hesitate to call this a bombshell, but I do think it is a BOMBSHELL. Corsi has copies of emails between Obama and Odinga, as well as a Obama campaign strategy document. Obama condones the violence and the approach used.

I sent and email to the Obama campaign asking for the name of the physician that brought the wonderful Obama into this world because we wanted to make a charitable donation in his name. No response. Obviously Obama born in 1961 and with such a strange NAME at the time should be remembered by some Hospital staffers, Doctors, Nurses? Does his grandmother recall the name of anyone? We should take up a collection and offer the the reward to anyone that can provide eyewitness account and data on Obama's Birth.

David Brooks spoke frankly about the presidential and vice presidential candidates Monday afternoon, calling Sarah Palin a "fatal cancer to the Republican party" but describing John McCain and Barack Obama as "the two best candidates we've had in a long time." In an interview with The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg at New York's Le Cirque restaurant to unveil that magazine's redesign, Brooks decried Palin's anti-intellectualism and compared her to President Bush in that regard: [Sarah Palin] represents a fatal cancer to the Republican party. When I first started in journalism, I worked at the National Review for Bill Buckley. And Buckley...

We need to start a "do not pronoun" list for our liberal friends, who we know are hypersensitive. Some have gotten into a frenzy and are in apparent need of counseling because, in the context of discussing which Senator voted for what, John McCain pro-nouned "Senator" and replaced it with "one." This has offended our liberal friends, and out of our desire to avoid unneeded increases in health care costs for counseling, I again humbly suggest the need to start a list of words which are not to be "pronouned". First one: Senator Please add any other words which should...

Last night's debate was not a barnstormer. McCain pointed out a lot about Obama that needed saying, but it was not done in a way (IMHO) that would close the deal, and his proposals on housing certainly did not exicte the base (to the contrary they departed from the base). But here's a "fact" that the few in the MSM will consider. Sarah Palin is the "closer" in this election (and no one else, particularly not Obama or Biden). If McCain keeps her on the trail, drawing the crowds she is drawing and generating the excitement she is generating...and if...

I believe Mcain missed the softball question at the end. What is it you don’t know and what will you do to find out. Mcain should have said, What I don’t know is;

From a Soldier Serving in Afghanistan Hello everyone, As you know I am not a very political person. I just wanted to pass along that Senator Obama came to Bagram, Afghanistan for about an hour on his visit to "The War Zone." I wanted to share with you what happened. He got off the plane and got into a bullet proof vehicle, got to the area to meet with the Major General (2 Star) who is the commander here at Bagram, As the Soldiers were lined up to shake his hand he blew them off and didn't say a word...

Iowahawk’s regular relationship advice expert Barack Obama is on leave today, preparing for the upcoming presidential debate. Filling in today is our all-star cast of personal growth experts.

leftist lunacy reaches new heights.

With everyone from Barney "Pedophile" Franks to OJ "Rent a car from us there's enough room in the trunk for your ex-wife AND her lover" Simpson playing the race card, thought I'd give you your "Get out of racism free" card. Feel free to send to any friends that may need one.

Parody: George M.Cohan's, "Give My Regards to Broadway" "Give Him the Flag on May Day" Give him the flag on May Day,the banner with the big Red Star You know without the Drive-By Media,he'd never get this far Thanks to their propaganda,Obama's ego's flying high If he should take the White House,we can kiss the Bill of Rights goodbye With "Commissar" Obama,the Democrats are all onboard And just like ACORN in Chicago,they'll commit more Voter Fraud The Libs ridicule the values,of "God and Guns" out in small towns They're using a Racist Megalomaniac to bring this nation down! They're using...

Disclaimer!I don't know if ANY of this stuff is true. I ask fellow FREEPers with more information than me to verify or deny. Thinking voters of course will not vote for BHO. But if this stuff is true, even unthinking voters will stay away from him. Some of it all sounds a bit far-fetched, but if not we may be facing a real life Manchurian Candidate. The next post contains the bulk of the email I received recently.

THE MSM : Have you had enough yet? The MSM has dropped any pretense at defending (much less attempting to correct) the claim they remotely desire fairness or balance in reporting this election. They’re pulling out all stops and executing a full court press to throw this election to Obama and the democrats. They have gone from simply spiking negative news on Neobama to supporting the most vile and insane gossip and lies about McCain and Palin, providing advice and logistics to that campaign and are now organizing preemptive air cover strikes against any legitimate criticism of Obama coming from...

Dear Rush, Laura, Michelle, Mike, Glenn and other conservative talkers, First, let me say thank you for your efforts to inject some spine into our public officials this week. You were all correct about this bailout, as were the vast majority of Freepers here on little ol FreeRepublic. We almost pulled off the upset. But as usual, the 'conservative' punditry was split along familiar lines. The Fred Barneses, Hewitts, Medveds, and the National Review ladies were all pimping the bailout, providing much needed cover for some House Republicans (and democrats) to suddenly see the merits of adding another 150 Billion...

I just received a phone call froma woman who announced herself as calling for "Idaho for Obama". I decided to listen to what she had to say as I had never had such a call before and I wanted to try and find out what she was really about. She said that they were calling to encourage everyone to vote this election and was I aware that in Idaho we could all vote by mail. I indicated that I would be voting at the polls since I was not needing to vote absentee and would be in town. She indicated...

She's a Hockey Mom who's supports the National Hockey League's Hockey Fights Cancer campaign. She's lives on an island far removed in values from the American Heartland. She has been criticised for wearing her skirts too short, and the subject of many commentaries and Web sites about her legs. Her interviews have been criticised as being too cute and sophmorish. She has been roundly criticized for not writing her own material, but merely reading off the teleprompter. She has also been criticised for plagarism. She has been made fun of, laughed at on TV and talk shows, and told she...

How much time did the Senate spend debating this $700B BILL? How many experts did they call in to testify? How has the Senate clarified and further defined the bailout program? What limitations and safeguards were added, if any? How many pages of the Bill deal with details about the bailout? How many pages of the Bill deal with Pork? What got more attention from the Senate, the Bailout or the Pork? Does the Senate have any idea as to whether or not this will even work? Did they ask anyone? Who, if anyone, in the Senate has the expertise...

After the debate last night was over, and Govenor Palin was on the stage she saw her husband Todd come out immediately after hugging him....we heard her clearly ask.........."Where are my kids?" I suppose that is the part I loved most. She won the debate and then asked for her kids. Doesn't get much better than that.

DID YOU SEE IT ? From hair plugs to this. Now I know what those two beige streaks were on the side of his temples ! He used cosmetic tape to give himself an eye lift and it almost closed them shut. Both socialist/democrats suffering from severe Narcissistic Personality Disorder. I have a screen capture but no matter how I try it comes out as a red x

On the flight to St. Louis, Piper — made famous to the nation during the Republican National Convention when she styled her baby brother's hair with her saliva — wandered back to the rear of the campaign plane to distribute licorice to reporters.

Palin field dressed Biden. She stalked him, lowered her sights on him, took him down and field dressed him. Obie, your delware meat is cleaned, cut, wrapped and ready for pick up.

If ever there was a player meant to be an Oakland Raider, it was Tony Mandarich. He was 315 pounds of pectorals and trouble, a wild and crazy offensive tackle who lived life not just large but extra large, maybe even triple-X. Before he had pancaked his first NFL defensive end, Sports Illustrated anointed him "the best offensive line prospect ever." Scouts gushed that he was better than Anthony Munoz, the tackle against whom all were measured. You had Mandarich, the second player picked in the 1989 draft, reportedly admitting on Showtime's "Inside the NFL" that he was a steroid...

I was just on a website reviewing the various proposals that Californians will be voting for next month, and I clicked on their "President" link. Lo and behold, I see that after Obama and McCain, the next name that will actually appear on the ticket is Alan Keyes, running as an American Independent.I think he's a little extreme, but I'm considering casting a protest vote for him, if only to send the message "I am not happy with our current GOP choice." Now, before you tell me I'm throwing my vote away, consider: I live in California, land of fruit...

Obama, toast?

5:37 CDT first pitch at Wrigley Field in Chicago! Dempster vs. Lowe. Line-ups will be announced soon.

I have to post this vanity. My wife has a wonderful saying regarding who to vote for: "Who would you rather vote for, somebody who kills animals and protects babies or somebody who kills babies and protects animals?"

While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old rancher, who's hand was caught in the gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man. Eventually the topic got around to Obama and his bid to be our president. The old rancher said, 'Well, ya know, Obama is a 'Post Turtle''. Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a 'post turtle' was. The old rancher said, 'When your driving down a country road on you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a...
