● Virginia Gov Kaine's chance to run with Obama is kaput.
Kaine won't be Able.
Aug. 23, 2008 ●
For Obama it's Biden...and for McCain it's also bidin'... bidin' his time.
Aug 27, 2008 ● S2433 introduced by Obama is coming up for a Senate
vote. Called the Global Poverty Act, some conservative leaders say
it's a potential $845 billion UN giveaway of our tax dollars, a tax
that's been estimated at $2,000 on every man, woman and child.
Obama's big thing is change. Well, this is quite a chunk of change!
● Where will they get the money? A UN
advisor said "a tax on carbon-emitting fossil fuels might be a way to
begin." Will
the government be in our tanks for
revenue, siphoning
out more? If so, tanks a lot, Obama
● Might we call this bill, a vehicle for
change?
● $845 billion would be a quite a haul...Taxahol
●
The bill passed out of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee without any
public hearings. It also passed the House, and both were voice
votes, with no record kept of who voted in favor of it. Is this
what you call self service at the
federal pump? As far as open governance, it certainly isn't full
service.
●
Sen. Richard Lugar of Indiana
encouraged Obama to join the Foreign Relations Committee. Lugar was
the then Chairman of the Committee, and was the big gun who pointed him in that direction.
● Oh yes, that above-mentioned UN advisor, is
Columbia Univ. Prof. Jeffrey Sachs who was a friend of Kofi Annan and
who criticized America as being stingy to alleviate global poverty (His name suggests Goldman Sachs in finance). Considering the amount
of money involved, might we think of Sacks of money?

Yesterday
Sen. McCain announced Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska as his running mate.
In April she gave birth to a Down's Syndrome child when it's reported that
as many as 80% of these babies are aborted. For
those of us who are prolife, she didn't let us Down. Nor her precious
baby.
●
Palin and her husband Todd live on a lake and own a
float plane. If she flies it, wait for the Democrats to call her a
Bush pilot.
Sept. 2, 2008 ●
Alaska's flag has eight gold
stars on a blue background: the Big Dipper and the North Star. It's a
pretty flag. North star Palin has brightened things for the GOP
● In
the darkness around the unborn, she's a star to guide upon.
● Palin's a hunter, but count on her
new political foes to hunt for ways to bring her down.
● She's
McCain's pick...for some others, it's pick, pick, pick...
Sept. 11, 2008 ●
According to a McCain spokesman,
some in the media demanded their campaign provide DNA samples to
prove Sarah Palin's son Trig is hers. Their demands were described in
terms of a deluge. Well, not only were they all wet, but what they
sought, was outside the bounds of decency. Such suspicions and actions went beyond
the pale...and beyond the Palin.
●
Down south in Georgia, another woman is running for office---Dr. Deborah
Honeycutt for Congress. A conservative Republican, she
stands firm for life,
believes abortion is morally wrong and a national tragedy. Her
opponent, Democrat David Scott, voted against banning partial birth abortion.
God will not bless America for abortion and partial birth abortion is an
egregious form of it.
Deciding, as Scott and others have
done, doesn't bode well for the nation. I dread Scott's
decision...
●
In 1787, the Colonial leader George Mason said at the Constitutional
Convention, "By an inevitable chain of causes and effects, Providence
punishes national sins by national calamities." For those
tempted to abortion, every Jane should think of calamity, and every Joe or
John as well.
●
It's not just America. As far back as 1973, Time Magazine said, "...abortion is practiced in
nearly every country in the world."
Another report in 1999 said that
approximately 46 million abortions were performed worldwide in 1995.
With such a climate of abortion, there should be a focus on global
warning...

If people flock to Obama as a leader, just thinking
"Change, change...," they're half like sheep, or using a word I saw
elsewhere, sheeple.
● Remember the
nursery rhyme about Little Bo Peep? With his initials B O, you could
also say these people for him are Bo Peeple... .
●
Bo Peep lost her sheep and didn't know where to find them. For the
sake of the nation, would that Obama would lose his sheep...or the nation as
we've known it, may be lost. And many
may wish they could come home wagging their tails behind them. But by
then the nation may be shorn, liberally so.
●
Speaking of a nursery rhyme, does his flock know his position on abortion and
thereby his complicity in what it does? The taking of innocent human life, robs the unborn of their
cradle...it's a nursery crime...
●
Those who dispose of and waste hundreds of thousands of
unborn lives, including those complicit in it, bring about a collective expanse, a barren
space, equivalent to the emptying out of various of our states---a Wilderness of Sin.

We've experienced an economic
crisis. McCain is known as a maverick, and a maverick was a
horse. Count on the Democrats to try to saddle him with the bad economy
and ride to power...
October 27, 2009 ●
Well, as it turned out, the Democrat donkey won the race, with Obama riding
it to power. And it very well may be that race won the
race...the perception of him as Black or African American.
●
I read it reported -- and seemingly under-reported
-- that Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother's side; 43.75% Arabic and 6.25%
African Negro from his father's side. I also read that in Kenyan records, his father
was officially classified as "Arab African". If these
reports are true, then if he's
twofold anything, he's Arab-American, with his Arab component more than
seven times his Negro part...so, as far as public consciousness in general, were we left in the dark?
● It was
also reported that to even claim
minority status, federal law required, that you must be at least 12.5% of
the racial component you claim. Again, if this is the truth, Obama's
was only half that... and accordingly, he's Half-rican.
●
I don't want to see government-run health care nor
health decisions being made by bureaucrats... people who, with the Democrats
in power, we might call "Burro-crats."

Say NO to the U Nanny States
of America!

With all the Czars in the Obama
administration, there's yet another
czar ―
The citizen drowning in debt: the Czar Nickel-less

Thinking of the coming election, and some in office,
make it NOvember

RNC
Chairman Michael Steele has come under fire for his comments on the
Afghan war,
with McCain calling for him
to step down and Lieberman saying the "the backlash among Republicans was
'heartening.' " Whatever the case with
Steele, let's hope the GOP will have steel in its backbone in
dealing with the Democrats and the Administration.
October
2, 2010 ● Today
we cast our votes. Let's see if we cast some out of power!

(12:52 pm Central Daylight
Time) About watching the chimney on the roof of the Sistine Chapel,
when it pours out white, I hope for Holy Smoke. And
about that seagull that landed there...maybe it too was waiting to see who
would steer the Bark of Peter upon the troubled seas of the
world.

It's been a long time since I've added to
this page. We've had Trump trumping and others thumping him. I'm
tired of the annoyances of these others. I fear for the country if they triump
in the election. You notice there's an "I" in triump, another
form of "me."
