In an address before the Young Men’s Lyceum of Springfield, Illinois, on January 27, 1838, Abraham Lincoln said the following:

If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.

I never truly appreciated the wisdom of that statement until a cold, rainy night in November 2008 when 69,456,897 deluded idiots elected His Majesty, Barack Hussein Obama, to the office of President of United States. I don’t remember much of what happened that night. As state after state on the electoral map of my beloved nation turned blue, I kept chugging more and more beer, following by whiskey chasers. The last thing I remember was His Majesty leading a mob of Visigoths gathered in Chicago.

I stumbled through the next few weeks in a fog. Each time some liberal nut bragged about the historic victory and the possibilities for fundamental change I grew sicker and sicker.

Fortunately, I was not alone. A number of my friends were feeling the same way. As we discussed all the potential dangers posed by an Obama reign a consensus emerged that we could not stand by and do nothing. We could not be silent. Though we are but few in numbers, we decided we would add our collective voices to the sure to emerge opposition to this unprecedented assault on America’s freedom.

On January 22, 2009, we launched a new website, Delta-Man , to fight back, to shine a light on the destructive policies that we knew His Majesty would try to enact. As I write this profile, nearly a year has passed since the start of Delta-Man. The only real surprise during this year has been the extent of the flood of dangerous policies pouring forth from King Hussein Obama the First and his minions. It would be impossible for a small group of people, such as the members who compose Delta-Man, to push back against this torrent of destruction. An army of bloggers would have to post twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week for years to point out all the flaws in His Majesty’s conduct and policies. I believe Free Republic is that army and we are proud to serve in her ranks.

Delta-Man features the following contributors:

The Voice of Experience: – VOE is our senior columnist and has had a long and full life. Currently retired after a successful career in business, VOE spends his mornings on the links and the rest of his time pouring through the internet, following the news of the day and gathering research for his next post. VOE writes most of our serious analysis of His Majesty’s proposals. His posts are usually well documented but can sometimes run a bit long for the modern reader, which is no concern to VOE because as he often says, “All you young ones have the attention span of a gnat. You’ll never truly understand the issues unless you put the time into learning the details.” I agree with you, VOE, but don’t forget, some of us have to work for a living.

Limis Ward: – I’m the young guy at Delta-Man and often get stuck with the dirty work, like, for example, writing this profile. As a huge fan of political satirists such as Swift and Twain, I fight back in a different way from VOE, aiming to point out the absurdity of His Majesty’s polices in my main column, On the Lighter Side with Limis Ward. Over the past year, I’ve tried everything from simple doggerel to posting a day of His Majesty’s “tweets.” If anybody out there thinks even one of my posts is only 5% as good as the aforementioned literary giants, I would be extremely flattered. In addition to On the Lighter Side, management sometimes calls upon me to write a column called The Best and the Brightest. The articles in this column expose and ridicule the misadventures of the King's henchmen, which in his short reign have been numerous and shocking.

View from the Top: The Founding Fathers – In our never-ending effort to find new and effective ways to fight against the King’s growing despotism, Delta-Man’s management instructed me to delve into the occult to seeing if it was possible to communicate with dead. Utilizing a variant of the methods of Nostradamus, I’ve been able to establish a channel to solicit the opinions of our nation’s finest citizens: The Founding Fathers. While I cannot share everything they have told me with you, I can assure you of one thing: they are pissed. These brave men risked everything they had, up to and including their lives, to create this nation of opportunity and can’t believe we would be so stupid as to elect a man who, not only despises everything this country stands for, but wasn’t even born here. Other the past year, such luminaries as George Washington, Patrick Henry, Ben Franklin, and James Madison have provided me with their opinions on this usurper Obama who claims to be like Lincoln but acts like King George.

The Righteous Lib: – In an effort to give the other side a chance to air their views, Delta-Man allows this one poor deluded liberal to post to our site. The Righteous Lib is actually a homeless man that VOE met in Kuhio Park on one of his many trips to His Majesty’s supposed home state of Hawaii. An ardent and unapologetic supporter of the King, his posts consist of plenty of braggadocio along with unconvincing arguments. To date, we have not allowed him to post on Free Republic despite his frequent requests to do so. Some day we might just let him try and suffer the consequences.

Publicus: – Last but not least is our beloved leader. Publicus is in charge of Delta-Man and I can assure you, is just as cheap and hard driving in his leadership of Delta-Man as he is at his day job. We all live in fear of an email from Publicus sitting in our inbox because it invariably demands that we spend less and write more.

We at Delta-Man hope that you find our posts informative and sometimes humorous. Not all of the posts at Delta-Man are simultaneously posted to this site so if you’re interested in reading more of our opinions, visit our website Delta-Man.
