Barack Obama is Promising to Strip Workers of the Protection of the Secret Ballot. Your Illegal Donations to His Campaign Will Still Enjoy Complete Anonymity.

No Secret

There are three major ways to destroy the integrity of an election:  stuff the polls with illegal voters, the ballot box with illegal votes, and finally, the good old standby of intimidation and fear.  As a Chicago-style politician who admires 3rd world dictators and radicals,  Barack is for all of the above and is privately promising Union heavies to implement their demand that the government strip workers of the right to cast their votes in private when unionizing.  That way workers who vote against union can easily be singled out as scabs and have their legs broken.

If you don’t believe me ask George McGovern… (more…)

Ideological Twins

Ideological Twins?

I thought there might be some connection between Hugo Chaves and Barack Obama, this picture of them looking in the same direction with similar expressions proves it.  Of course, the coincidence that Chavez and Obama both admire Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers and his theories on how to reform capitalist education, and that they both share an antagonism towards America’s ally, Columbia, and that they both use thug tatics to intimidate political opposition could also be considerd evdience of a connection, but I needed photographic proof.  Now I have it.

Pets You Can Train to Talk

Complaining about the bias of tv correspondents at this point is a little like pointing out Chicken McNuggets taste more like sponges and rubber than chicken.  It’s the flavor we keep coming back for.  I don’t care, except to note that Andrea Mitchell is vying to win the coveted Chris Matthew’s Shivery Leg Award for Journalistic Objectivity by using her years of experience to report the news exactly the way Obama tells it to her.

Click the Keep reading to see Andrea at her professional best, asserting the Obama accusation McCain would soon be attacking him for not “look[ing] like those other presidents on the dollar bills” was not an attempt to paint McCain as a racist, but Obama playing the self-deprecating humor card.

20 years of Rush makes me less bitter about not having an FM tuner on my factory installed radio

UNFAIR

UNFAIR

 

 

A little tribute to Rush on the 20th anniversary of his show.  I’m not sure how anyone ever became aware of him because I can’t think of a reason why anyone would turn on the radio at noon before his arrival.

AM radio was an awful place in 1988 — a staticky ghetto for kooks, conspiracies, and screamers.   Since then Rush has transformed himself into the foremost conservative leader in America and the entire AM band into such coveted real estate, our presumptive Democratic landlords are looking for ways to evict him. 

More Rush tributes to be found at Human Events all this week.
