Selfish???? So now it is not only unpatriotic, racist AND selfish to not want to spread the wealth???

There are a lot of people that fall on hard times and need temporary help. There are multitudes of programs already for this purpose. These folks don’t stay in that mode forever.

But there are a whole lot of people that will take that assistance and make it a way of life. Happily.

But I’m sure Barry knows that.

Are You Going to Help?

There’s still time to help elect John McCain and Sarah Palin. This past weekend, I made phone calls through the volunteer online phone bank. I admit, I was uncomfortable cold-calling complete strangers on a Sunday afternoon. But it was ultimately a rewarding experience. There were people who still claimed to be undecided. There were also several Republicans who sounded like they needed a little encouragement to go to the polls. I like to think I made a difference.

In the middle of the afternoon, I blegged for advice because I was having a hard time talking to answering machines. As I expected, the wisdom of crowds made things much easier.

Please consider making phone calls on behalf of McCain/Palin 2008 in the next few days. The process is very easy. Sign up at the top link above (I’m fairly certain you don’t even have to use a real email addy if you don’t want to get GOP emails) and within minutes the website will provide you with names, locations, phone numbers and scripts. (I think the hours are from 9am to 9pm Eastern.)

You generally get to choose the state you’d like to make calls to, so if you have free long distance like me, you can help out with some of the battleground states. My suggestions are Colorado, Ohio, Virginia, and Pennsylvania.

I’m tucking some advice from last weekend under the fold. Read it first and then get calling. I challenge each of you to make at least twenty phone calls. It won’t take that long and it may make a difference on Tuesday. I’m going to be calling again this weekend too.

Later: I want to emphasize that you can make calls from the comfort of your own home. This is so easy to do, there’s just no excuse for not helping.

Get the names and numbers from the McCain/Palin website. Call in between loads of laundry. Call while you’re waiting for dinner to be done. Call after you put the tot down for her afternoon nap. Do what I did and call while you’re blogging. I know you guys spend countless hours just sitting in front of your computer. You could use a little of that time to call voters.

(more....)

"The reason that we want to do this, change our tax code, is not because I have anything against the rich," Obama said in Sarasota, Fla., yesterday. "I love rich people! I want all of you to be rich. Go for it.

Yeah, I'll bet he loves rich people. That's all the more he can soak with his tax increases.

It is understandable that Obama think that making money comes easy when his wife gets a 100% raise a few weeks after he is elected to the Senate and he gets a sweetheart deal on a house courtesy of a convicted criminal.

In fact, life in general must seem like it is easy when you get let into Ivy League schools because of your skin color instead of your grades and SATs.

Of course, just like in the USSR, China, Cuba and other Worker’s Paradises, the ruling elite will not share their wealth.

What's more telling than the 'selfish' remark is Barack's suggesting that right-wingers would regard people who give their own money charitably as socialists. Barack doesn't realize that there's a huge difference between a kid who gives part of his sandwich to someone else, and a bully who takes part of someone else's sandwich, nibbles some himself, and then gives people the rest in exchange for a promise of fealty.

Obama has complained to the media (and in this video) that McCain and Palin are calling him a socialist. He never quite denies the accusation but plays it up as some kind of fear tactic. It is a fear tactic but as we all know a righteous one because EU socialism will destroy this country and endanger us and the world.

But what you never have heard Obama being asked by anyone in the media is what HIS definition of socialism is. You can just imagine the hemming and hawing that would go on because to describe European socialism is to describe his solutions.

Notice in the youtube clip that the next line in his speech is Obama claiming that McCain/Palin would call him communist for the fact that he shared his toys when he was a kid. If only those Obama bots knew of the consistent string of marxist associates that Obama has had his whole life that he has never been asked about by the MSM, many of these very associations that he admitted were commumists in his first book but hidden in his second.

The point is, though, that -- and it's not just charity, it's not just that I want to help the middle class and working people who are trying to get in the middle class -- it's that when we actually make sure that everybody's got a shot...

And as far as I am concerned Obama admits clear as day that he wants to help the working class by taxing the middle class...and help the middle class by taxing the upper class...and taxing the uber-upper class to help the...

We're selfish, Chairman Milhouse? No, these guys are selfish:

From TaxProf Blog 3/25/2008
Barack Obama today [March 25, 2008] released his 2000-2006 tax returns:
Source: TaxProf Blog 3/25/2008 "Obama Releases 2000-2006 Tax Returns"

From USA Today, 9/12/2008
Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden and his wife gave an average of $369 a year to charity during the past decade, his tax records show.

... The Bidens reported giving $995 in charitable donations last year — about 0.3% of their income and the highest amount in the past decade. The low was $120 in 1999, about 0.1% of yearly income.

Over the decade, the Bidens reported a total of $3,690 in charitable donations, or 0.2% of their income.

Biden spokesman David Wade said in an e-mail that the Bidens "also contribute to their favorite causes with their time as well as their checkbooks." Wade said Jill Biden has volunteered to help military families and the family "pitched in driving supplies to the Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina."

The only rich people Obama likes are the likes of Soros, Warren Buffet and don’t forget, Maurice Strong.

Speaking to a reporter with the London Times, outside her home, Zeituni Onyango, 56, confirmed she was indeed the “Auntie Zeituni” so affectionately described in Obama’s best-selling memoir, “Dreams From My Father.”

In the memoir, Obama wrote: “If Jane or Zeituni ever felt ill, if their companies ever closed or laid them off, there was no government safety net. There was only family, next of kin, people burdened by similar hardship. Now I was family, I reminded myself. Now I had responsibilities.”

This arrogant son of a bitch flies around in his campaign plane, sitting on his custom leather throne with his logo embossed on it, like an emperor, while his brother lives in a hut outside Nairobi on a dollar a month. His aunt lives in a Boston slum. He and his wife don't even give gifts to their own children at Christmas or birthdays.

He calls other Americans selfish?
