Here is a compilation of some of the most memorable Obamessiah videos, ranging from children to adults who were moved to sing or express praise to Barack Obama. . . . (VIDEO)

Yesterday Chris Christie did even better than Whitman, winning by 4. McDonnell won by 18, which was the largest margin of victory for a Virginia Republican in history. People can say Creigh Deeds was a bad candidate, but was he really the worst candidate in history? So to the extent that 1993 was a harbinger of 1994, last night's elections make 2010 look worse for Democrats than 1994. So when the Democrats today start bleating about how the extremist wing of the Republican party cost the GOP the election in upstate New York, be sure to remind them that it...

This letter is so incredibly important, it should be read by Rush Limbaugh and commented on Fox News. A must read of the year.

And David Plouffe said Obama considered this guy for Vice President

I hope that Michael Steele and other GOP "leaders" were paying close atteniton to what happened here in Virginia and in New Jersey: Conservative Values Win In New Jersey And Virginia Governors' Races 84rules November 4, 2009

An amazing piece of Street Theatre has been planned for this year's Village Halloween Parade... and all you patriotic New Yorkers are invited to participate -- as zombie followers of Obama!

Watch the questions he asks Michael Steele! LOL!

For the past 8 years, Abby Johnson worked hard to promote the Planned Parenthood clinic in Bryan, TX. For the past two years she even led the local Planned Parenthood abortion mill in its drive to snuff out little lives. That all changed recently, as a disillusioned and spiritually "converted" Ms. Johnson quit her job to join the local pro-lifers who prayed with her and for her for much of the p More..ast decade. After seeing an ultrasound of an abortion she says she her conscience left her no choice. This year's 40 Days for Life campaign- a prayerful, community-based...

We've all done it (especially people like NJ Gov-Elect Chris Christie and me). You pass the snack machine filled with tasty Kit Kat Bars, Reeses, or Chocolate Chip Cookies and that chocolate gene buried with-in one of your chromosomes starts working and you start digging into your pocket for every quarter possible, in order to sate those taste buds demanding the taste of chocolate. House speaker Nancy Pelosi wants to ruin that experience, the most powerful woman in the world wants to regulate Snack Machines giving the vending industry a bill of $56+ million the first year.

How bad for Obama? Election: How bad for Obama? Major bad Minor bad Not bad at all Not sure ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Major bad 49% (319 votes) Minor bad 27% (176 votes) Not bad at all 21% (135 votes) Not sure 2% (15 votes) Total Votes: 645

Here is video of Charles Krauthammer last night saying Barack Obama came into office with the aura of a "conjurer," and a "magician." In fact, Krauthammer told Bill O'Reilly that the confidence was so high that his campaign resembled the Chinese "Cultural Revolution," with children singing praises to him! But now Obama has had a year of reality, and that sense of confidence has diminished. . . . (VIDEO)

Is anybody else getting tired of this? Obama is supposedly completely untouched by these wins last night by the GOP...

One year after President Obama swept to power on a promise of “hope” and “change,” American voters got an early chance to pass judgment on his administration. If yesterday’s Republican victories in Democratic strongholds like Virginia and New Jersey are any guide, they don’t like what they see. While results from around the country were still coming in at press time, the outcome of the race in Virginia is proof positive that the sands have shifted beneath the administration’s feet.

The war on conservative speech has moved from the White House to your neighborhood pews. Left-wing church leaders want the Federal Communications Commission to crack down on “hate speech” over cable TV and right-leaning talk-radio airwaves. President Obama’s speech-stifling bureaucrats seem all too happy to oblige.

Pookie's Toons for November 4th.

Democrat contributors on Fox News resist calls to quit the cable news giant from party loyalists. From the Politico Democratic pundit Bob Beckel has been under contract with Fox News for six years. And in the midst of the White House war against the cable network, some of his liberal friends think that’s six years too many.

Should we believe White House Spokesman Robert Gibbs when he claimed that President Barack Hussein Obama wouldn’t be watching last night’s election returns? Of course not. Why? Because unless Obama was intrigued by the Bowling Green at Buffalo nail biter, it was a slow TV night – except of course, for the election returns. OK thinks that like everything else about this administration, what we were told wasn’t what was going on behind the scenes. We think Obama & Co. anticipated last night’s results. In fact, we think several TVs were on inside the White House last night and that...

The recession may have forced students to curtail or change their college plans but it hasn't affected college presidents all that much. From the Chronicle of Higher Education Shirley Ann Jackson had big plans when she was hired as president of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute a decade ago. Shovels hit the ground soon after as part of a wide-ranging strategic plan that she directed. Ms. Jackson's compensation matched her ambition, and just two years into her presidency she was the highest-paid private-college chief.

Fox news has taken a lot of criticism from President Obama but they aren't really any different than their cable news brethren when it comes to partisanship. From the New York Times The Obama White House’s decision to challenge Fox News appears driven equally by strategy and frustration. It is also a test case for politicians in both parties.

With unemployment remaining stubbornly high President Obama continues his search for job growth. From the Politico In the face of increasing heat from Congress for decisive moves to create jobs, President Barack Obama on Monday pushed his economic advisers to come up with job-generating ideas that can be hustled up to Capitol Hill.

The increased politicization of American education has, in the Emperor’s words, “fundamentally transformed” American history. Gone are the days of teaching the reasons for the great migration to the new world. Instead, the Pilgrims and other settlers from Europe are painted as evil invaders who stole land from the native peoples and brought disease to the North American continent. The European settlers have been demonized as massive polluters who came to this pristine land with the goal of corrupting the planet. The Pilgrims and Puritans weren’t escaping an increasingly oppressive government seeking a place where they could practice their religion...

(Instead of arguing over particulars of the health care bill, let’s just go to the core of the debate.) So now that the fifth bill on health care reform is out, here comes the next round of arguments. This means conservatives will have to restate everything we’ve already said, because all the stuff we opposed in the first four bills has been combined into the new legislation. Personally, I’m tired of giving liberal idiots sources they never read, reminding them of political promises now being broken, and pointing out the gross hypocrisy of the liberal Congress. Lefties don’t care. They...

Our Mainstream Media sucks. They rooted for Obama. They voted for Obama. And they’re carrying the administration line without the slightest bit of curiosity. Obama even said it himself: “Most of you covered me… All of you voted for me.” (May 9, 2009) And the journalists in the room chuckled and applauded. Probably shouldn’t have laughed so fast because people are catching on. Press jobs are dying out with the rest of the economy. Ad revenues are slumping. Reporters are finding themselves out of work more and more. Most people (outside of the media think tanks themselves) blame the quality...

What is shocking is that anyone is surprised by the news that Al Gore's Silver Spring Networks company is benefiting from some $560 million in grants given by the energy department. Did anyone actually think that Al Gore was going to turn a profit by selling cow fart catalytic converters or solar ovens to people on the street? The fact is, the average person doesn't buy Al Gore's load of crap so he has to depend on like-minded wackos in the government who will make sure that his investments were not made in vain.

Mr. Natural sez...

The conservative candidates won in the mountains of Virginia by margins that qualify for the descriptor “landslide.” In contested races for the House of Delegates, an incumbent Republican won re-election by almost 2-to-1 and a newcomer unseated a Democratic incumbent by a 15-point margin. The Democratic apologists were quick to point out that Virginia usually elects a Governor from a different party than the Federal-election majority. True — but not by the stunning margin of 18 points rolled up by Bob McDonnell. If the liberal Democrats insist on believing that there is “no message here” . . . well, they...

Matt Barber, Director of Cultural Affairs with both Liberty Counsel and Liberty Alliance Action, issued the following statement on news that the voters of Maine have rejected counterfeit “same-sex marriage” by 53% - 47%. "...even in one of the most liberal States in the Union, Maine, the people have once again rejected the ridiculous and oxymoronic notion of ‘same sex marriage.’ The momentum has again shifted – hopefully for good this time – in favor of protecting legitimate marriage. A counterfeit is a counterfeit. An orange is an orange no matter how much you want it to be a turnip....

Here is video of Ben Stein last night on Larry King Live where he said Conservative Doug Hoffman lost the New York 23 Congressional Race because the Republican candidate "actively sabotaged" him, and was "shockingly disloyal" in endorsing the Democrat, Bill Owens. Stein was talking about liberal Republican Dede Scozzafava, who was anointed by GOP Party insiders as the candidate, but who eventually withdrew from the race after a revolt by conservatives who refused to support her liberal policies. Stein said Democrats should not be excited about winning a race where Republicans had such a "disloyal" candidate. . . (VIDEO)

Insanity: electing the same kind of politician and expecting a different result. http://www.wiseandfrugalgovernment.blogspot.com/ "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." Albert Einstein Albert Einstein said it. In California, we're living it. The map of California's district ten is an amoeba-shaped tribute to gerrymandering. Proof that when it is in their interest our legislators can put their heads down and color outside the lines. And in district ten they created a masterpiece, invading four separate counties: Alameda, Contra Costa, Solano and Sacramento to gather a voter population with an 18% advantage of registered Democrats to...

There is a fight going on for the soul of the Republican Party, and the Tea Party protestors are its face. We are not going to be swayed by pleas not to rock tthe boat. We are not going to stop until the Republican leadership embraces candidates who will fight for smaller government, less regulation and a balanced budget. As I said in an earlier post, we may lose some battles, but we are out to win the war. Our tent is big enough to accomodate those with different social views, but when a competent conservative is running in a...

Congratulations to the new Governors-Elect of Virginia and New Jersey! I’d also like to offer a special word of support to the new Lieutenant Governor-Elect of New Jersey, Kim Guadagno, the first woman to hold that office. Of course, the real victors in this election are the ordinary men and women who voted for positive change and a return to fiscal sanity. Your voices have been heard

Talk about the ultimate Stimulus plan, Democrats took your money—Tax payer money, money that you and your children will be paying for, for years to come and paid it to the dead. Move over Jesus Christ there’s a new Messiah in town and he’s paying the dead. Yep, a cool $2.5 million in stimulus checks sent to the deceased. Oh just a little mistake that even the Bush administration could have made you say? Perhaps, but if you are wondering about the shovel ready jobs that president Barry Hussein Soetoro said were just waiting for funding.

Pseudo-Zionists such as Rabbi Michael Lerner of Tikkun Magazine feel that the United States should not put any pressure on Iran for its weapons program. "What exactly gives us the moral right to be lecturing North Korea or even Iran on who should or should not have nuclear weapons?" New presidential appointment, former Senator Chuck Hagel, feels that the United States should be unconditionally reaching out to both Iran and Hezbollah. Today, Israel's Navy has proven them both wrong.The navy has intercepted a ship carrying weapons from Iran to Hezbollah 100 miles off the Israeli coast. Marines boarded the Antiguan-flagged...

Here is a review of election results by NBC's Chuck Todd on The Today Show this morning, where he pointed out Republicans are "back in the win column after three years of losing." He also said Chris Christie won in New Jersey despite the fact President Obama "put his prestige on the line" there. He showed graphics from both New Jersey and Virginia that indicate the Republicans carried Independents in both states by significant margin, what he called a "worrisome sign" for Democrats. . . . (VIDEO)

(Even Canada Said These Were Illegal) H.R. 3962, the Democrats’ health insurance reform bill, to be voted on this week by Congress, contains a provision to establish waiting lists as a mechanism to control costs. Such waiting lists have long been a characteristic – and a bane - of socialized medicine. Indeed, the Canadian Supreme Court ruled them illegal in June 2005. "Access to a waiting list is not access to health care," wrote Canada’s Supreme Court Chief Justice Beverly McLachlin at the time. Yet, this is exactly what the Democrats’ plan has in mind for Americans if their proposed...

Here is video of Republican Chris Christie making his victory speech last night after winning the New Jersey Governor's Race over incumbent Democrat Gov. Jon Corzine. Christie won despite President Obama campaigning hard for Corzine in New Jersey, where the President made five appearances there in his behalf. Christie won by a 49%-45% margin. . . . (VIDEO)

One of the main reasons Conservatives in New York revolted against the GOP’s choice of D. Scozzafava as their candidate, was because of her position on Abortion. Some Republicans assert that the Hoffman Revolution is about the economy, yet the majority of objections in articles and calls to Talk Radio centered, primarily, on the Republicat’s NARAL rating and her reception of the Margaret Sanger Award, both reflecting her position on Abortion. It is because Sarah Palin is profoundly Pro-Life that she understood the extent of the GOP travesty in asking Conservatives to violate their moral convictions by voting for a...

This column is in answer to the linked NAACP objection to my column(s.) Below are the column in question and the letter. Please read both before perusing my response. http://www.daveweinbaum.com/column100109.html http://www.therolladailynews.com/opinions/letters_to_the_editor/x1340500084/NAACP-takes- issue-with-Weinbaum-online-column First I want to thank the NAACP for providing me with column fodder as this can be problematic on a weekly basis.

I'm amazed by the soothsayers: Ayn Rand, for instance, who warned us fifty years ago of the risk of dictatorship or civil war if collectivism persisted. Or economist Friedrich Hayek, who wrote in the 1940s that we'll become serfs if we move toward big government. However, what feels most prophetic lately is an obscure movie from the l970s called Little Murders. The writer, Pulitzer-Prize-winning cartoonist Jules Feiffer, predicted that the '60s would unleash a feral, primitive society. The movie has a checkered history. It started out as a play on Broadway in the mid-'60s that was such a bomb, it...

Ever since the left wing captured the universities and media, putative conservatives desiring media favor and intellectual respectability have been apologizing for conservatism's most popular and effective figures. These days, they want to distance themselves from the "anger" and "extremism" of such personalities as Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh. What they ought to be doing instead is taking lessons from Beck as he lectures in front of a blackboard, a fitting symbol for what has gone wrong. Conservatism is rising, and we have the intellectual and historical high ground.

With Republican victories in key positions in this month's elections, and because several respondents said one week wasn't enough time to prepare the proper protest, we've decided to extend the deadline for entries into the Dave Weinbaum Cyber Tea Party until November 30th!

This is the entire Glenn Beck show from Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009. In this episode entitled “Who’s Designing a Recovery”, Beck discusses pesky facts about the U.S. Economy, “saved jobs”, SEIU, Cap & Trade, special interests funding legislation, Andy Stern’s radical views, George Soros, the Cloward & Piven Strategy, Buffy Wicks’ NEA connections, and Al Gore’s global warning hypocrisy. He interviews Mike Flynn and Ingrid Newkirk. Video: Glenn Beck on November 3rd, 2009

More than 10,000 people turned out Monday night for a North Houston Tea Party Patriots gathering to protest proposed health care reform and big government spending. Crowds packed the field at the Sam Houston Race Park and cheered loudly as speakers called for the people to take control of the American government. Wearing slogans that said “Don’t Tread on Me” and T-shirts stating, “I am a Tea Party Patriot — I will defend our Constitution,” those attending the event enthusiastically showed support for more constraints on the government and more personal freedom. ...

Yesterday on Fox & Friends, Representative Michele Bachman (R-MN) again called on Americans to come to Capitol Hill this Thursday (November 5th) and help her “pay a house call on Nancy Pelosi.” (video below) Bachmann stated that this week is crucial in stopping the Democrats from succeeding in passing “the crown jewel of Socialism”, government-run Health Care. She added “The American people need to stand up again and make sure that Congress hears them this time.” The Representative intends to hold a press conference at 12 noon next Thursday and then wants citizens to accompany her into the Capitol to...

For many months now, many of my posts have been, admittedly, overly lamenting the on “loss” of American culture. As a member of Generation X, perhaps I have often been very overly vitriolic in my opinion that life is just not as it once was in America. I recently watched my first few episodes of the series “Mad Men” on DVD. And the experience has been enlightening on my own view of American culture and cathartic of my own personal history. I must say, I am coming to grips with my own political views. And my watching a TV show...
