Obama's Victory -- A British view
An editorial from the London Daily Mail
A victory for the hysterical Oprah Winfrey, the mad racist preacher
Jeremiah Wright, the mainstream media who abandoned any sense of
objectivity long ago, Europeans who despise America largely because they
depend on her, comics who claim to be dangerous and fearless but would not
dare attack genuinely powerful special interest groups. A victory for
Obama-worshippers everywhere. A victory for the cult of the cult. A man who
has done little with his life but has written about his achievements as if
he had found the cure for cancer in between winning a marathon and building
a nuclear reactor with his teeth. Victory for style over substance,
hyperbole over history, rabble-raising over reality.
A victory for Hollywood, the most dysfunctional community in the world.
Victory for Streisand, Spielberg, Soros and Sarandon. Victory for those who
prefer welfare to will and interference to independence. For those who
settle for group think and herd mentality rather than those who fight for
individual initiative and the right to be out of step with meager political
fashion.
Victory for a man who is no friend of freedom. He and his people have
already stated that media has to be controlled so as to be balanced,
without realizing the extraordinary irony within that statement. Like most
liberal zealots, the Obama worshippers constantly speak of Fox and
Limbaugh, when the vast bulk of television stations and newspapers are
drastically liberal and anti-conservative. Senior Democrat Chuck Schumer
said that just as pornography should be censored, so should talk radio. In
other words, one of the few free and open means of popular expression may
well be cornered and beaten by bullies who even in triumph cannot tolerate
any criticism and opposition.
A victory for those who believe the state is better qualified to raise
children than the family, for those who prefer teachers' unions to teaching
and for those who are naively convinced that if the West is sufficiently
weak towards its enemies, war and terror will dissolve as quickly as the
tears on the face of a leftist celebrity.
A victory for social democracy even after most of Europe has come to the
painful conclusion that social democracy leads to mediocrity, failure,
unemployment, inflation, higher taxes and economic stagnation. A victory
for intrusive lawyers, banal sentimentalists, social extremists and urban
snobs.
Congratulations America!

A CONSERVATIVE SLANT - The Other Side of the Story January 13, 2009
MORTGAGE CRISIS
NANCY PELOSI
We should be angry and insulted by the Speaker of the House, who promised to have gentility and honesty guide her days in governing. When she accused Republicans of being unpatriotic for not helping to pass her socialistic bill this past October, even though 40% of her own Democrats voted against it, that should have angered us to action.
This entire mortgage default debacle began with the Jimmy Carter era law which made "redlining" illegal, forcing mortgage companies and banks to give mortgages to those who could not afford or never intended to pay their loans. Fannie Mae was created in 1968 to increase the number of these loans.
Fannie Mae became creative, bundling mortgages and selling them to investors and mutual funds, thereby risking the assets of the 50% of our citizens who own stocks outside of and in retirement funds. Fannie Mae bought and held sub-prime loans as another way to boost their profits. The Clinton administration further loosened home loan requirements.
CEO Franklin Raines and executive Jim Johnson worked for Fannie Mae. Raines made his focus the raising of the earning per share, tying that rise to executive bonuses. Raines took 50 million dollars in bonuses, as well as 40 million in salaries in 5 years. Johnson took 21 million in just one year. Raines and Johnson have been involved in the campaign of Senator Barack Obama. Raines was forced into early retirement, and paid a paltry amount to settle the investigation into his malfeasance, while Fannie Mae was forced to pay 400 million in fines. This current debacle was not caused by a failure of unbridled Capitalism, as many are trying to claim.
During this time a community organization named ACORN, in Chicago, and in 42 states, used "direct action tactics" to force bankers to offer even more mortgages to those who couldn't afford them. Yes, this is the ACORN for whom Senator Obama served as a lawyer, a community organizer, and a trainer of organizers. Over the years, and indeed right now, ACORN has been shown to engage in fraudulent voter registration, adding dead, illegal alien, fictitious and underage voters in five states.- and Obama pledged to meet with them during his period of transition... Do we not see that this might have skewed the election of our President in an illegal way?
In 2004 Congress held hearings on Fannie Mae, the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversite, with Republicans leading the way. Democrats such as Maxine Waters and Barney Frank made these statements: "This is a lynching of Franklin Raines"; "We don't have a crisis under the outstanding leadership of Franklin Raines"; "There is nothing here to say that safety is an issue"; and most astoundingly, "These assets are riskless!". Barney Frank should step down from his leadership of the Congressional Financial Services Committee. Democrats failed America with their support for failing institutions.
In 2005 John McCain co-sponsored a bill to rein in this institution. Opposition from Democrats was so broad that the bill couldn't even be brought up for a vote.
October's Pelosi Bailout Bill would have sent 20% of any bailout profits made - to ACORN, not to Americans or back to the government coffers, which is one reason the bill did not pass. Now the Senate has added 150 billion of pork to the bill in order to buy votes. And Congress wonders why only 10% of us think Congress is doing a good job.... I hope that we never again have to hear Ms. Pelosi say that this is all due to capitalism, President Bush and the Republicans..... There is plenty of blame to go around, but most of it is on the Democrat side of the balance
Waters and Frank failed America
If these were a Republican Senators and Representatives, they would be drummed out of office, or at least investigated, as were Newt Gingrich, Trent Lott and Tom Delay. At the least, I expect Barney Frank to lose his seat on the Financial Services Committee. I know - I am dreaming....

Ten Reasons to Say “NO!” to Barack Obama
1) From years of mentoring by his “friend Frank" (Marshall Davis), a member of the Communist Party of the USA - thru friendships and associations with Chicago felon Tony Rezko, unrepentant Weather Underground terrorist William Ayers, the group ACORN for whom he was a lawyer and trainer and to whom his campaign has donated $800,000 (this group is now found to be registering thousands of fraudulent voters) , and his 20 year membership in Reverend Wright’s Black Liberation Theology Church, he doesn’t have the judgement to NOT associate with radicals. With whom will he likely fill his Cabinet?
2) He advocates income redistribution as Marxist Saul Alinsky prescribes “from those according to their ability, to those according to their need”. This - even though the bottom 40% of Americans pay NO taxes, and the upper 5%, on whom he plans to increase taxes, already pay 60% of all taxes. It is these very people who buy products, spend money and employ the rest of us. He wants to do this even knowing that it will cause less money to go to the government, in the interest of “fairness”. Taxes will be increased by another 10% on those who sell a home or stocks, as well as on those of us who have earned interest and dividends. Taxes would be increased by 6.2% for those families earning over $102,000 because he plans to no longer cap Social Security taxes. When he raises taxes on corporations, jobs will be shipped overseas where the taxes are much lower.
3) While excoriating greedy CEOs, lobbyists and Republicans over the current financial meltdown, his associates Franklin Raines and Jim Johnson fraudulently bilked Fannie Mae of over $130 million as the company was going broke. In the last 3 years alone, this lobbyist-hating would-be President took the second largest amount of PAC funds ($130,000) from Fannie Mae, a total which is 49 times the amount that McCain was given over his lifetime
4) Americans give billions to poverty-plagued nations. Barack plans to force us to give another .7% of our Gross Domestic Product to the graft-ridden UN as part of his Global Poverty Act.
5) He favors meeting with evil enemy leaders without preconditions. He has negotiated with Iraq, in violation of our Constitution, asking them to not allow US soldiers to be sent home until after he is elected, so that he can get the credit.
6) He would guarantee our loss in Iraq by telling enemies exactly when our troops will leave, regardless of conditions on the ground. Al Qaeda will wait til we leave, take over the county, execute those Iraqis who fought for freedom, and exclaim victory over a weak USA.
7) He has accused our troops of “air-raiding villages and killing civilians” in Afghanistan, fueling the world’s hatred and giving talking points to our enemies.
8) Any criticism of Barack Obama has been and will continue to be falsely decried as racism, for he will not admit that it is his radical agenda which is in question.
9) Terrorist William Ayers placed Obama as Chairman of his Annenberg Challenge. Barack directed $50M to a project to specifically "radicalize" Chicago's public school education agenda.
10) He claims to want to reduce money in politics - yet his campaign has raised over $600M, some of it illegal, for use against McCain who, along with Obama, pledged to use only public funds in his campaign. And this is a Post-Racial Candidate? Please.....I pray we are not this easily duped. Our country is at stake.

A CONSERVATIVE SLANT
The Other Side of the Story January, 2009
NEED TO KNOW ITEMS
BARACK OBAMA CAMPAIGN IDEAS AND PROMISES:
To put coal companies out of business via his “Cap and Trade” policies.
To meet with campaign-fraud tainted ACORN prior to his Inaugural.
To form a Clean Energy Corps and to invest heavily in green technology in spite of the fact that the validity of man-made global warming has not been proved. In fact more and more info is emerging that 1998 was the warmest year EVER, and temps have been declining ever since, possibly leading to an Ice Age.
To CONSCRIPT our children by REQUIRING community service of all high school and college students, in spite of the fact that the United States is already the most giving of nations in the world.
To “spread the wealth around” by taking even MORE money from the upper-income citizens who keep the economy going, and giving it to those who do not or WILL not work...and to those who do not even pay taxes!
To tax the difference between what you could get if you were to RENT your home and the amount you PAY for you mortgage! This is an Imputed Income on Home Value tax.
To tax us on our use of natural resources.
To tax, any home larger than 2400 sq. feet.
To tax our retirement accounts..
NOTABLE QUOTES:
Cardinal James Stafferd quote:
“Barack Obama is aggressive, disruptive, and apocalyptic - with a decline in respect for human life”
Louis Farrakhan: On Oct. 10, 2008 referred to Obama as the “Messiah”, as the instrument that God will use....
Al-Zawahiri quote:
He, Chief Deputy of Saddam Hussein and head of Egyptian Islamic Jihad said Obama is a “house negro” who “ is the direct opposite of honorable black Americans like Malcolm X .” “You were born to a Muslim father, but you chose to stand in the ranks of the enemies of the Muslims, and pray the prayer of the Jews, although you claim to be Christian, in order to climb the rungs of leadership in America. And so you promised to back Israel, and you threatened to strike the tribal regions in Pakistan, and to send thousands more troops to Afghanistan, in order for the crimes of the American crusade in it to continue.” I don’t think he has changed his opinion of America due to Barack Obama....
IRAN: accuses Obama of “cowboy talk” for his strong words against terrorism.
Newsweek Magazine: Obama is deeply manipulative, has a slightly creepy personality, managing his own spectacle - watches us watching him.
Obama: While deflecting a question from Campbell Brown of CNN regarding Hillary Clinton’s credentials for Secretary of State, after his deriding her foreign policies during campaign, he said, “I think this is fun for the press to try to stir up whatever quotes were generated during the campaign. No, I understand, and you’re having fun.” He never did answer the question....
