After the election of an abject Marxist as President, and the creation of large majorities of his supporters in the US Senate and Congress, when will we raise the trues Stars and Stripes above the US Capitol and White House again? The first opportunity to raise that sacred flag, with it's foundational meanings, over the capitol, will be on November 5, 2010. Then we can move on in the campaign to the next beachhead, and raise it over the the White House, in 2012. In the mean-time, as a part of that fight, and as we regroup and reprovision,...

KIEV, Nov 6 (Reuters) - Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, newly on good terms with Washington, on Thursday hailed the election of Barack Obama as the next U.S. president as "the beginning of victory for black people". But Gaddafi said he feared for Obama's safety, and said he hoped the United States' first black president would not be assassinated like John F. Kennedy or black civil rights leader Martin Luther King. Gaddafi, dressed in a white safari suit emblazoned with a map of Africa, said recent events, including Obama's victory, were "set down 30 years ago in the Green Book," a...

What we can do is adjust moving forward. Like a losing sports team, it’s time for us to rebuild the Republican franchise. There are a number of things we did right, a number of things we did wrong, and there’s certain truths we need to accept. What we did right. (1) The selection of Sarah Palin. Palin is what we need as a leader in the GOP — fights corruption, stands up for individualism. Negative things are now being reported about Palin. It wasn’t the exact selection of Palin that was positive, it was the theory behind it. We need...

WASHINGTON — John McCain's campaign was meandering through the summer, one day focusing on the Everglades, the next on Iraq and hardly ever on Democrat Barack Obama, when his top advisers took him aside and told him to make a choice. You can keep running a comfortable, "play it safe" campaign — hanging out with the media on the back of the bus, talking about climate change and handling Obama with kid gloves — and lose by a respectable 2 or 3 percentage points, they said. Or, they told the former Navy pilot and war hero, he could authorize a...

When Barack Obama takes the oath of office on Jan. 20, 2009, he will do so in the 30th anniversary year of the founding of the so-called Religious Right. Born in 1979 and midwifed by the late Rev. Jerry Falwell, the Religious Right was a reincarnation of previous religious-social movements that sought moral improvement through legislation and court rulings. Those earlier movements—from abolition (successful) to Prohibition (unsuccessful)—had mixed results. Social movements that relied mainly on political power to enforce a conservative moral code weren't anywhere near as successful as those that focused on changing hearts. The four religious revivals, from...

For 10 exhausting months, Americans worried that Barack Obama might be too inexperienced to serve as President. On Nov. 4, a majority of voters decided that he is in fact "ready to lead"--or at least that he had better be. This suggests that Americans know their history. When it comes to presidential success, experience isn't all it's cracked up to be.

How did that happen? How in the world did America just become the first Western power to elect a black man as president? Because the thing about America is — for better or worse — we don't look back. A ranch hand named Mike Cagwin said that to me recently. I met him as he was ferrying cattle across the Columbia River. He was remarking how nobody he knew seemed to care if Barack Obama had known a Vietnam-era radical named William Ayers. It's all old '60s crap, said Cagwin, 60, a former mill worker. People are done with all...

When you lose an election like we just did, it brings out the best those family, friends, and acquaintences of yours who don't share your political beliefs. In 2004, I tried my best not to gloat at all because I understood that for many of our opponents, politics is their religion and to watch Kerry lose, it was like watching a family member die. I get no pleasure in being a jackass and trying to rub salt into people's wounds. Liberals generally have no such reservations, so I'm sure we've all gotten an earful today. So let's start a thread...

IF If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you But make allowance for their doubting too, If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream--and not make dreams your master, If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat...

WASHINGTON — A day after John McCain charged that the liberal-leaning voter registration group ACORN "may be perpetrating one of the greatest frauds in voter history,'' it was disclosed Thursday that the FBI is investigating whether the group coordinated the filing of phony applications. Details of the inquiry weren't readily available. McClatchy confirmed an Associated Press report disclosing the investigation and learned that the FBI was attempting to determine if ACORN systematically encouraged the creation of fake voter registrations in several states.

Well, the election is over. I am disappointed in the American people that they would buy the empty-suit kool-aid of a man with 183 days of experience. We knew that it would be a rough road to the White House. We lost. Life goes on. Now Conservatives are in the wilderness. The only good thing we have going is that there is not a rubber stamp congress and that we can block legislation still. Also, that smug jackass, Al Franken, won't be a senator. We can not be bitter and we can not hang our heads in defeat. We must...

I once read a quote by John Perkins that said “No constitution, no court, no law can save liberty when it dies in the hearts and minds of men.” Tonight we see that the majority of Americans have let liberty die in their hearts. They have willingly given away the freedoms that so many brave Americans have fought and died for. Watching Fox and Friends this morning, I was amazed to see so many young voters holding the old Soviet Union flag in the background while chanting “Obama.” Even more amazing? No one chose to comment on this. Welcome to...

CNN interviews a voter in Philadelphia. The voter is so interested in supporting Barack Obama that he tells CNN that he broke the law. Watch the interview:

Well, the election has come and gone like a shot, apparently. After the interminable round of primaries, Operation Chaos, PUMAs, the conventions, Sarah-cuda, and all the rest. In one night Obama and Biden have won. This means we have a troika: Reid, Obama, Pelosi. The "rulers of peace" (ROP). But this also means, they can no longer blame Bush and the evil Republicans for anything that goes wrong. This includes: the economy the Middle East taxes tainted food from China immigration crime unemployment gas prices Let us never lose an opportunity to loudly proclaim: "OBAMA'S FAULT!" Secondly, can we now...

As of this writing, it's probably safe to assume Obama has won the Presidential election of 2008.This is a watershed turning point in the history of the United States. It has nothing to do with race, less to do with class. Raw intelligence is not a factor.It is simply that there is a new majority world-view.This world view wants the safety of the collective...and is willing to sacrafice the opportunity of personal achievement for the mediocre comfort of what they can take from others.Do not underestimate the danger individualists and original thinkers are now in. Do not underestimate the danger...

One of the most unambiguous conclusions from Obama's victory? Karl Rove was right. For the past 8 years, we've had a debate over the best political strategy for approaching a national election. There were, in essence, two contending theories. Karl Rove's theory - one he perhaps never explicitly articulated, but which was evident in the approach to multiple elections, votes in Congress, and even international coalitions run by his boss, George W. Bush - was, essentially, that you win with your base. You start with the base, you expand it as much as possible by increasing turnout, and then you...

If everyone else is going to post a Vanity, so will I.. This is the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! We where born of revolution, we where tested with wars, we where cleansed with Civil War, we've overcome Depressions, Recessions, World Wars, Carters and Clintons. Have we forgotten the power of Conservatism, the power of the individual in spite of the system, not because of it. Suck it up and move on.. remember your core beliefs, the power of the individual. Remember John Galt's oath. ..most importantly, remember, we are the rebels now.. we are the anti-establishment.. The Liberals are "the...

"Hello, this is Jeff Blodgett from the Minnesota for Obama campaign. Our initial data shows this election is significantly closer than the polls predicted. We are putting out an urgent call for volunteers... We are organized groups to knock on doors at five P.M., or earlier if you can, for our final GOTV operation." This was followed by different numbers to call based on your residence." Click Here for More Infoe

From the source: "Arrest this man Ron Jones. How could he be any more blatant about voting multiple times for Barack Obama. He is effectively cancelling out every one of our votes. This is insane! While CNN tries to turn a blind eye on the Voter Fraud that is rampant right now across the country this man spills the beans on live television. They just move on with a small mention of his response…" Click Here to View the Video at ObamaHood.org

Fox News calls VA for Dems (GAIN), Mark Warner, and Georgia too close to call (Dec 2 runoff likely-- winner must get 50 per cent today!)

A federal judge has ordered election officials in Virginia to preserve late-arriving absentee ballots that Republican John McCain's campaign claims should be counted.

Mother: I am going to need you to take me to vote tomorrow. Daughter: I will, but only if you are not going to vote for McCain. I'm not going to take you unless you are voting for Obama.

These next four hours on the ground in New Hampshire could determine the election.

I can't emphasize enough how urgent this message is. Please go to our website and start calling as soon as...

Last night, I spent some time with an alleged Obama voter. I say "alleged" because this fellow seems like an intelligent person, which makes it hard for me to believe he is actually voting for Obama. But he insists that he is, and he insists that he is not playing games with my head. He is a Democrat, a Hillary supporter and an Obama voter. In an attempt to get a logical reason for voting for Obama, I asked him to tell me what it is about Obama or his policies that he liked. He told me that for him,...

OAKDALE — At least two Spanish-language ballots were pre-marked for Barack Obama at a rural Oakdale precinct Tuesday morning, causing election officials to confiscate and inspect all the blank ballots. "I consider this extremely serious," said Lee Lundrigan, Stanislaus County clerk and registrar of voters. "We've sent an additional person to the precinct, and everyone is now watching each other." The incident happened about 9:20 a.m. at the River Oak Grace Community Church polling place on Rodden Road just north of Oakdale. Hector Parra, who doesn't speak English, was handed a Spanish-language ballot, which he took to the voting station....

From the ‘tolerant’ left in Missouri City:Get out there and vote Conservatives! Don’t let these punks win.

Based upon the faces and body language of the newsreaders and commentarians on TV, I'm going to call the 2008 Presidential Election for Senator McCain and Governor Palin. You would think these guys and gals were attending a funeral. They are talking down exit polls. Shep Smith looks as if he may cry! What do I know, though. I'm just a newbie here. Oh, yeah ... something put it totally in perspective. The Dems are calling into MO and B.O. visited IN. You all knew that though.

This is directly off of a flyer that the jackholes from the Sierra Club sent to every household in Vegas. On Global Warming they claim that Barack Obama... "Has a plan to cut global warming pollution 80% by 2050. Will help bring energy costs down by requiring polluters to pay for their pollution and refund that money to the consumers"WHAT THE FLYING F !?!?!?!?!?!I have a headache trying to make legitimate sense of this absolute garbage. Obviously "the polluters" are American utilities and industry. These liars are saying that when the cost of providing services and products goes up due...

This election will prove to be an indictment upon our education system. A system that no longer focuses upon the history of nation, the ideals and beliefs of our founding fathers and the concept of American Exceptionalism which created that shining city on a hill. Our education system teaches history in bytes and major events, never focusing on the small events that led to our nation's challenges. Today our nation may elect the first black president, but if Senator Obama should win, we will have also elected the most inexperienced, far left and untested leader in US history. The media...

“I will not allow my economic and social future to be dictated by the votes of the stupid and the foolish!”-NewJerseyJoe, 11/4/08 Ron Paul and Bob Barr supporters -- trust me, I understand your frustration. The candidate is not perfect. But consider 4 years of having to fight a flawed president -- compared with 4 years of a communist president who has stated on various occasions that he wants to take away your ambition/initiative, rule your personal economy and budgets, make you "be fair," stifle your right to publicly state your ideas, and take away your right to protect yourself.......

RICHMOND, Va.: Republican John McCain's presidential campaign sued the Virginia election board Monday, claiming absentee ballots weren't mailed on time to military members serving overseas. The complaint asks the U.S. District Court in Richmond to order the state to count absentee ballots postmarked by Tuesday and received by Nov. 14. It contends that thousands of troops' ballots, many of which would go to McCain, will not be counted. The deadline for ballots to be received is 7 p.m. Election Day, which is Tuesday. The lawsuit is the second in a week to challenge preparations for the presidential election in Virginia,...

I recently made a post about the many black voters who support Barack Obama just because he's of a similar racial background, lamenting that this was, clearly, a form of racism. One of the commenters (joneskr) noted, correctly, that black voters have consistently supported Democrat candidates in overwhelming numbers and this resulted from the Republican Party's failure to reach out to black voters. I think it would be more accurate to say that the Republican Party simply refuses to pander, placate, and exploit black voters on the basis of their skin color for the sake of political power, but that's...

Barack Obama wants to institute a Civilian National Security Force, a vast militia not unlike Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, a personal army. He knows he would need such a force to protect him and to enforce his will on Americans. Americans will have not seen such arbitrary power used against them since the days of the Civil War when Lincoln put the Constitution in the bottom drawer of his desk and set about arresting anyone who opposed his policies to enforce the Union on southern States seeking secession. The moral issue was slavery. The Constitutional issue was states rights. If you...

ABC News' Matthew Jaffe Reports: Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., Monday started his final day on the campaign trail, a battleground blitz of four rallies in three states, counting down the hours until he and the man at the top of the Democratic ticket, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., could be elected to the Oval Office and bring the nation "a new brand of American leadership." “37 more hours!” said the Democratic vice-presidential nominee when he took the stage in Missouri. “37 more hours!” Before a loud, lively crowd of 1,200 here in Lee's Summit, Biden gave Show-Me State supporters a glimpse...

No matter who wins Tuesday America is going to be a different country. When the sun rises on November 5, regardless of who the president-elect is, a more un-United States than has existed since the Civil War will wake to dispute the results of the disgusting campaign that has mercifully come to an end. Whoever the losers, they will believe they were cheated, and will point fingers at those they believe responsible. Almost half the nation will view the winner as illegitimate, and will do everything in their power to undermine his authority as long as he's in the White...

With just one day until the election, the real world effects of Barack Obama's economic and energy plans have 'come home to roost'. Consider this...

VIDEO HERE. Barack Obama stated his intention to bankrupt the coal industry in an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle. That would throw countless people out of work, devastate the economy of many coal producing states, and send electricity prices skyrocketing for everyone. Sarah Palin opposes Barack's bankrupt plan and pledges to fight with everything she has for working Americans! Please ask everyone you know to vote for her Tuesday November 4th!!!

Dr. Alveda King works with Father Frank Pavone (PFL) in the Gospel of Life Ministry. She personally supports and will vote for McCain-Palin. This is significant as she is a close relative of Martin Luther King, Jr. She is the niece of Martin Luther King, Jr. Her father, A. D. King worked with his brother Martin on Civil Rights. She is author of the book: Sons of Thunder (ISBN-13 : 9781413411263). This book about her father (Dr. A. D.

Let us all join together through the final days of this election, and particularly on Novemenr 3rd, in the midst of our hard work and individual prayers, and invoke God's Hand to be revealed in this election cycle...recognizing, as did Patrick Henry over 230 years ago that God is indeed involved in the affairs of man and nations, and as the Holy Scriptures themselves testify that He will indeed bless us if we turn to Him. "We shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise...
