MacBigot Cached Glances

I’ll be updating this live through the night as information collects (newest scraps at the top)… keep an eye on the news in the left-hand column of my blog site, as well — those feeds were chosen for their accuracy, opinion based on solid research, and clear, concise writing.

1. Doug Ross adds illustrations to a simple piece of clarity by Thomas Sowell at National Review Online.
2. If you voted on anything in your state in addition to warm bodies to fill chairs yesterday, go to CNN.com to see the results.
3. Neil Stevens at RedState.com puts a seal on this drum for the evening:

   “Point one: There’s no need to start pointing fingers within the party. This election was on style, not substance. No faction’s to blame, and no policy is at fault. We know this because Obama won. He ran on no ideas at all.

   We all went into this together with the wrong idea. We just need to learn how to win again, rather than try to pin the loss on somebody. No, I don’t even blame John McCain and the mavericks like him.

   Point two: This isn’t the end of America. Our values are more resilient than Obama is strong. Our civil institutions are stronger than Obama is socalist. Our nation is greater than any one man, including the President. We will endure anything that happens under his Presidency.

   Point three: This is no time for ‘purging’ anyone. This it time for regrouping and winning again.

   Point four: 1980 didn’t come just because President Carter was that bad. It came because Republicans and conservatives worked hard, prepared for 1980, got a good candidate, and worked within the party for victory.

   Point five: 2010 comes before 2012. Let’s focus on getting 435 excellent candidates for the House, 33 excellent candidates for the Senate, and excellent candidates for Governor and state legislator.

   Point six: If you’re pushing a candidate for 2012 right now, you’re not to be taken seriously.”

4. “It’s a great day in America… I’ve been waiting so long to say that…” -a rather attractive, whimpering young lady being interviewed on camera in Indianapolis. All I can say, is that I have always been proud of what America used to stand for. Now, I have to trade that in so that you can finally feel good? This idea that one person cannot ‘win’ without taking something away from someone else is apparently a correct way to think when you are on the receiving end; this is the epitome of selfishness and amorality. This is the new, legitimized face of the victimhood that is America.
5. At least we won’t have as many riot issues since the evil old white guy didn’t win.
6. Pundits are extolling the virtues of the Great Obama — but, they say, he will ‘face great challenges because we are a divided nation’… LIKE HELL WE ARE. Saying that is to ignore the fact that Congress (Branch #1), the Judicial System (Branch #2) and the Oval Office (Branch #3) are all controlled now by Democrats — and the most extremely Left-leaning people we have seen in our generation. That’s not ‘divided’; just dangerously unstable.
7. Too tired to do anything but lay out clothes for tomorrow — will have to wait until the weekend to have time to start researching what the housing market is in Canada (j/k — I think). Hey, did we ever get any real evidence of Obama’s ‘natural born’ status as an American citizen? Last i heard, the judge didn’t say he was satisfied with Obama’s paperwork — only that a private citizen didn’t have the right to challenge Obama’s eligibility to be a candidate for the Presidency. So… who does have the right to question the legitimacy of this election? Oh… yeah… I forgot to spread the suspension of disbelief around…
8. Well, it took NBC to have the balls to ‘call it’ first — at 11PM Eastern, they say the election belongs to Obama. I expect it to take months, not years, before we find we cannot reverse the course of this country’s decline into meaninglessness. When a man promises to lean out of a blimp and throw other people’s money at you, when questioned all you can respond with is shallow platitudes and catch-phrases — despite the knowledge that you are believing in those fluttering dollars and a misguided glee that he is not ‘just another old white guy’ — the voter doesn’t care. Having one of the most liberal and untested talking heads in the country at the helm will indeed be remembered by history — but not in the way that the teaming masses are expecting. The phrase that used to mean ‘the rest will be easier’ has a whole new meaning today: It’s all downhill from here.
9. Did you notice that in races where the Democrats are winning, there are seldom reports of problems at polling locations? That must mean that when there are problems reported, it is due to us Republicans attempting to sabotage the votes of the Left.
10. A reminder from a month ago (check your pantry, keep your water clean and your powder dry):
    
    Oh, and THIS one from one of my favorite vloggers on the planet (I had to find it again for a buddy I was just IM’ing with):
    
11. More politicians who are openly averse to Capitalism are speaking out about how stupid you are for wanting to own property, and see personal gain in exchange for your hard work. Obama will be the fearless leader who marches us into a new age of Socialism; but he won’t do it alone. Watch how Rep. Jim Moran (D-VA) explains that capitalism and property ownership is for small-minded people (h/t to MoonBattery.com):
12. If Obama wins, it’s not all bad news. Savor the silver lining. H/t to MichelleMalkin.com and MollyGood.com for this at Akon promises to leave the US if McCain is president:

    “If he [Obama] doesn’t get into office, I’m gonna change my citizenship. I’m moving back to Africa. You can hold me to that. I’m afraid to live there if he [McCain] is President. The decisions he makes scare me: he’s making selfish decisions, he’s doing whatever it takes to get into office.”

    
    MollyGood calls Akon ‘a faux thug who repeatedly assaults his concert-goers’ — if he is ‘missed’, it would only be due to his buddies’ poor aim.
13. CNN.com Election Center ’08 has a page up for mobile users at http://cnnec.mlogic.mobi/ that seems to work fine on the Blackberry and the iPhone.
14. Google has helpful page up that will help you find your polling location, and verify your registration: http://www.google.com/2008election/ We have found that it can be helpful to print out your voter registration verification so that poll workers don’t try to tell you that you’ve arrived at the wrong location. This has happened a lot (to me in previous years), and they can be shut up quickly by showing them that you looked it up in the last 24 hours.
15. McCain is (finally) taking action against the jerks who are trying to suppress military votes.

    “McCain campaign sues over overseas military ballots (HamptonRoads.com): Because many counties in Virginia failed to mail absentee ballots in time to our men and women in uniform stationed overseas, service members are being disenfranchised because they are unable to return their ballots before the November 4 deadline”

    
    Update: thanks for the news from MichelleMalkin.com — the military votes in Virginia will be counted!
16. Milwaukee police unit specializing in election fraud prevention told to “stay away” from polling places

    “A special Milwaukee, WI police unit that practically wrote the book on vote fraud and how to prevent it has been told not to go near polling locations today. … The report found that between 4,600 and 5,300 more votes were counted in Milwaukee than the number of voters recorded as having cast ballots. Absentee ballots were cast by people living elsewhere; ineligible felons not only voted but worked at the polls; transient college students cast improper votes; and homeless voters possibly voted more than once.”

17. I wore my Polling Location/Election Day button pin. It says: “LEAVE ME ALONE.” But this was the first election year when I didn’t have to ‘run the gauntlet’. There were a couple of people handing out brochures at the very back of the line; but after that no one tried to block my path to shake hands/kiss babies.
18. McCain-Palin Campaign Launches Honest and Open Election Hotline: 866-976-VOTE

    “ARLINGTON, VA — The McCain-Palin campaign launched the Honest and Open Election hotline to help citizens learn the location of their polling place, as well as report any instances of irregularities at the polls, including voter fraud, intimidation, violence and electioneering. … In 2004, multiple forms of voter fraud occurred, including voter intimidation, fraudulent registrations, multiple ballots cast and votes bought for money. Already during the 2008 election cycle, a dead woman in Missouri cast an absentee ballot, individuals were arrested for voting twice in Florida and people in Ohio registered and voted on the same day.”A

19. And this is why the Republicans didn’t think they could slip by with Mitt Romney at the top of the ticket: Pro-Same-Sex Marriage Mocking the Mormons (Moonbattery.com)

    “Liberals are very tolerant of diversity — within the ranks of privileged special interest groups that support their agenda. The rest of us are fair game for bigoted stereotypes. This ad opposed to a proposition to defend the concept of marriage from defilement in California goes after a favorite target, Mormons. The ad might be a little too subtle for moonbats. They should have had the Mormons abduct the lesbians’ adopted child and devour it alive while it wriggled and screamed.”

20. Have you seen Barack’s social network? Find out all about his friends and read up on his profile at BarackBook.com (OK, this is just a funny — but it’s a great way to illustrate that Obama’s ‘network’ matters.)
21. Sarah Palin has been exonerated at the eleventh hour — those who she has defeated politically in the past were able to keep suspicion of her character on the lips of millions; but were ultimately set aside by a judge.
22. Though the predictions of how the Electoral College will shake out have looked gloomy just days ago (311-to-160 in favor of Obama on 10/31), the numbers at http://rove.com/maps/overtime look more even, though it’s still an uphill battle: 338-200, still in favor of Obama.
23. Twitter users can follow and contribute to a feed about voter fraud and polling location trouble. There is also a nationwide map of all the reports.
25. Fairness Doctrine Watch: Schumer likens conservative opinion to pornography (MichelleMalkin.com):

    “Conservatives fear that forcing stations to make equal time for liberal talk radio would cut into profits so significantly that radio executives would opt to scale back on conservative radio programming to avoid escalating costs and interference from the FCC.”

26. Update: (RedState.com) This hasn’t been limited to a single polling location, nor apparently a single state. The video below shows the nightstick-wielding man from the FOX news report, and there have been reports of Black Panther wannabes intimidating voters from as far away as Tennessee.

    ---

    
    Black Panther intimidation at the polls?; NBPP: “We will be at the polls in the cities and counties in many states to ensure that the enemy does not sabotage the black vote, which was won through the blood of the martyrs of our people” (MichelleMalkin.com)

    “We warn you, leave Barack Obama alone and leave our babies alone because black people are a spiritual people and a people who are trying to do right, and we will not hesitate to take up our legal rights of self-defense.”
    
    
    RICK LEVENTHAL: i do not even know where to begin, but we have reached a polling place in the city of philadelphia. one of the two black panthers who was allegedly blocking the door is standing right over here, with an accused us of intimidating voters because we were here with a camera and microphone. he did not answer questions, other people here have confirmed that another person in black panther attire was holding a night stick and apparently the concern was that they were intimidating people who were trying to go inside to vote. a republican poll observer actually called the police, the police were here and we miss them, they came and left. that person called the police is here. why don’t you tell us — step down off the curb, if you do not mind. what is going on here?

    CITIZEN: we got a phone call that there was intimidation going on. i walked up to the door, two gentlemen in black panther guard, one brandishing a nightstick, standing in front of the door. they closed ranks as i walked up. i am a veteran, that does not scare me. i went inside and found full- watchers, they said they had been here for an hour — i went inside and found poll-watchers, they said that they had said not to let people outside because black people are going to win no matter what. at that point, i spoke to him, we would not get into a fistfight, i said, and i called the police.

    LEVENTHAL: the person with the nightstick was escorted away, which i just confirmed inside. but the implication is that you were telling me that the black panthers were there to intimidate white voters from coming to this location?

    CITIZEN: anyone who is not going their way, i do not know. someone in front of a polling place with a nightstick, that is intimidating for all voters.

    LEVENTHAL: this is the first time i have heard of black panthers being stationed outside of a polling place. the one gentleman who is still here, he is a poll-watcher?

    CITIZEN: yes, and he can wear what he wants.

    LEVENTHAL: the other person was not allowed to be there with a nice that?

    CITIZEN: you cannot stand with a nightstick anywhere, that is a weapon. obviously, you cannot stand around with a weapon menacingly in your hand under any circumstances.

27. Flopping Aces reminds us of the Left — Obama’s America:

    “Today, my 6yr old little girl Katy got off the school bus ashamed and in tears. I ran out to see what was wrong, and she finally looked up at me, “Daddy, I got some bad news.”
    “What’s wrong? What happened? Are you hurt?”
    “No. The kids on bus #9 (pre-teen kids) said that if we vote for McCain they’re gonna drop bombs on our house and our cars and kill us tonight.”

    This is not fiction, exaggeration, or anything of the sort. This is Barack Obama’s America, a country where people who hear his message of unity go home and teach their kids intimidation and terror. My little girl has never ever ever come home from school with anything shy of an ear to ear smile. Most days she comes running off the bus with her arms wide open. Today, she was ashamed, scared, embarassed, and terrorized.

    I told Katy that I’d protect her (not a problem, but I won’t elaborate). I told her our German Shepard mutt and our Rottweiler mix mutt would protect her (they both patrol the house at night, so not a problem or exaggeration), and she was comforted. Some cookies, and she’s fine. That’s a 6yr old.

    The 39yr old daddy on the other hand is pissed off to no end. I don’t really think someone’s going to come bomb our house tonight. What pisses me off is that parents (be they Obama or McCain supporters themselves) would be so irresponsible, ignorant, and scared themselves so as to teach their kids political intimidation. That’s not American. That’s chickenshit. That’s a set of parents (if there are two) who are so paranoid that they can’t deal with reality themselves.

    Tomorrow’s a big day. As I’ve said before, I will vote for McCain, but I’ll be content with either for President. I’ll vote my way. You vote your way. That’s it. Once you are done, that’s it. You’re American again-not a Democrat or McCain supporter or whatever.

    Meanwhile, my little girl (who just got a perfect report card on Tuesday, and talk of being put in an advanced class because she’s teaching other kids) is not afraid. Yes, she cried, and was ashamed of that, and was embarassed, but after the cookies quelled the tears she told me that in their mock election, “I still voted for McCain, Daddy.” Kid’s not only the best reader in the class, but brave.

    Me? Well, I’m pissed, and I’m wondering, “If Sen Obama wins tomorrow, what will happen to my little girl at the hands of the other kids, and will all of America become ruled by those who believe power comes best from political intimidation.”

Are you thinking that the Republican party should have nominated a ‘real conservative’? Lots of people over the years have lamented that John McCain has ‘played nice’ with legislators on the other side of the aisle too often. Though on-camera politicians often pat themselves on the back for ‘cooperating with their brothers on both sides’ — at Party meetings, they tear at each other like old bats around a pile of Cabbage Patch dolls for having done exactly that.

Many Conservative voters have expressed that until Sarah Palin was announced as McCain’s pick for VP, they didn’t feel he was grounded in beliefs and behavior that matched their own. After Palin’s selection, many of those people have said that Palin ‘drags McCain far enough to the right’ to ease their fears.

Let’s just say, for the sake of the argument, that there are still lots of people out there that still want to vote for Ron Paul, Mitt Romney, Rudy Giuliani, or someone else I don’t remember?

What if they feel so ‘cast aside’ by the Republican Party that Conservatives (or Libertarians) want to ‘stick it to the Man’ this election season?

What if there are lots of Conservative voters out there that don’t plan to vote at all this year?

What if many Libertarians that have no hope of getting the their candidate out of the gate still ‘vote for the little guy’ because they know that American needs to see their ‘token vote’ in the CNN exit polls?

What if these people feel so emotionally drawn to voting out of spite that they don’t stop to consider what might happen to the country while they throw their little tantrum?

If this is you, let me take a moment to do what I seldom do on my blog: call you an idiot. And a selfish one at that.

Now let me tell you what you, an ideological idiot, are going to risk for our country, while you are busy ‘protecting the honor of the Party’.

Let’s start looking at what America will be about when Obama becomes our President:

• A three-branch system of government (Executive, Legislative, Judicial) that no longer provides the same checks and balances that our current, sluggish, argumentative method has relied on for decades. The fact that Obama voted with his Party 97% of the time was neatly set aside by the press (while they were busy reporting on how closely aligned McCain and Bush are supposed to be) is telling — Obama isn’t after change from government-as-usual; he’s just after the chance to sell it to you better. Now that a majority of Congress and the Supreme Court will be on his side, there will be no restraints on federal behavior.

  A Liberal Supermajority (WSJ.com)
  “Though we doubt most Americans realize it, this would be one of the most profound political and ideological shifts in U.S. history. Liberals would dominate the entire government in a way they haven’t since 1965, or 1933. In other words, the election would mark the restoration of the activist government that fell out of public favor in the 1970s. If the U.S. really is entering a period of unchecked left-wing ascendancy, Americans at least ought to understand what they will be getting, especially with the media cheering it all on.”

• Fostering Americans’ belief that success can be measured in entitlements:

  Obama’s women reveal his secret (Asia Times)
  “Be afraid – be very afraid. America is at a low point in its fortunes, and feeling sorry for itself. When Barack utters the word “hope”, they instead hear, “handout”. A cynic might translate the national motto, E pluribus unum, as “something for nothing”. Now that the stock market and the housing market have failed to give Americans something for nothing, they want something for nothing from the government.”

• Teaching Americans that cheating the system is the new ‘system’; the tone of respect and decorum known 50 years ago has been waning during our generation — but not until now will expectations of honor have been completely discarded.

  VOTE FRAUD ALERT: Obama & ACORN Fact Sheet (FreeRepublic.com)
  “Board employees said ACORN workers often handed in the same name on a number of voter registration cards, but showing that person living at different addresses. Other times, cards had the same name listed, but a different date of birth. Still another sign of possible fraud showed a number of people living at an address that turned out to be a restaurant. … Board employees are unsure how many of the cards are fraudulent. But the voter registration department received so many suspicious cards that …”

• Knowing the the Second Amendment will mean less and less as gun ownership rights are whittled away, and police agencies are allowed to track which citizen owns which firearm — so that removing them from us becomes as easy as checking them off the list, one at a time:

  Obama’s Stance on the Second Amendment Explained
  “The Obama I know sees you, the law abiding gun owner, as nothing but a low-class lummox who is easily swayed by the flash of a smile and a ration of rosy rhetoric. The Obama I know is a stony-faced liar who has honed his skill at getting what he wants – so long as people are willing to give it to him.”

• Freedom of the Press becomes freedom of some of the press. Two words: ‘Fairness Doctrine’.

  What does it look like when the State controls the airwaves? America becomes the new Cuba with the Fairness Doctrine. (MacBigot.com)
  “Just another perk America will enjoy when there are no more checks and balances among the Senate, House, and Oval Office — when both are on the same side of the political fence.”

• The Democrats are ‘teaching’ American soldiers that if they want their vote to count, they better make sure that they aren’t fighting a war that the Left is not backing — because there are politicians willing to go against judicial opinions to keep military votes from being counted.

  Military Votes Being Tossed Again (Black-and-Right.com)
  “”We support the troops” except when they vote Republican. That would appear to be the pattern again this presidential election, last perfected in 2000, and resurrected in 2008… Fairfax County Registrar Rokey Suleman is disqualifying an overwhelming majority of the military federal write-in absentee ballots received in his county on the basis that no address had been given for those witnessing the voter signatures on the ballots. According to Springfield District Supervisor Pat Herrity and four former members of the military who held a press conference on Thursday, over 98 percent of these military absentee ballots in Fairfax County are being rejected.”

• Israel’s status as a friend and ally won’t just be questioned — it will be discarded.

  It’s official: Jesse Jackson says ‘Zionists who control America’ can kiss Israel goodbye if Obama elected (Doug Ross)
  “…promised “fundamental changes” in US foreign policy – saying America must “heal wounds” it has caused to other nations, revive its alliances and apologize for the “arrogance of the Bush administration.” The most important change would occur in the Middle East, where “decades of putting Israel’s interests first” would end. … Zionists who have controlled American policy for decades…”

• The fight against Socialism, Marxism, and yes, even Communism will have been lost by those who have become so blinded by the sales pitch of the power-hungry that they will not see the damage done to Capitalism, Conservatism and Democracy until they have handed them over to their new jailer in total.

  Americans who lived under Communism support McCain (Doug Ross)
  “Americans who lived under Communism have strong feelings about this election: Cuban-Americans, Russian-Americans“

• Americans living abroad and citizens of nations friendly to the U.S. will see their plight deteriorate.

  “Iraqis vocally oppose Barack Obama
  More than three quarters of U.S. citizens living in Israel support John McCain
  A clear majority of Georgians, who have experienced communism firsthand, support McCain“

• Citizens who cry foul over increased taxation will be attacked in the public forum, by ‘Truth Squads’ who pretend to display a groundswell of public opinion — but who actually perform as the ‘thought police’ of our generation.

  Obama on low taxes: “Selfishness” (HotAir.com)
  “After telling Joe the Plumber in Ohio that he wants government to “spread the wealth,” Obama told Floridians that opposition to such policies amounted to “selfishness” … Those who earn the money want to direct it in the manner they see fit, in the most efficient manner possible. That’s not selfish, it’s just common sense. Only someone in love with government power could see it as anything else.”

• Americans will have placed their trust in a Man instead of in their country, in a persona rather than the American Concept

  Confessions of an Open Minded Conservative: “The One” turned out to be just another one (RedState.com)
  “No, Barack Obama is not the savior of America or American politics. He is not a new Democrat. Those glimpses you have seen during off-the-cuff comments by Obama, Joe Biden, Barney Frank, et al are not just rhetorical flourishes and misunderstandings, they are glimpses of the future–of the type of liberal policies that Republicans once created bogeymen around. Wealth redistribution, military cuts during a time of war, cow-towing to the UN and our enemies. Far from being “The One,” Barack Obama is just another one and maybe the worst one of them all.”

• America’s financial stability, and the way it is reported to citizens and the world, will be the responsibility of the government, not the free press and free market. And for self-preservation, the government will finally and successfully hide the truth (and suspend the rights) from the people.

  They are responsible for the mortgage banking crisis; and now are trying to blame the banks, and the Republicans — both who tried to avoid these risks. They ridiculed Republicans for trying to limit the damage. And it is up to us to ensure that no one forgets their names. (MacBigot.com)

• Industries that are not follow the Party Plan will suffer a quick death by being forced out of the market by way of legislation designed to ‘protect’ the environment from us — despite the science now clearly showing that man-made global warming is and has always been a farce.

  Obama tells San Francisco he will bankrupt the coal industry (NakedEmperorNews.com)
  “So if somebody wants to build a coal power plant they can; it’s just that it will bankrupt them a huge sum because they’re going to be charged for all that greenhouse gas that’s being emitted.” [See a longer transcript at RedState.com]

• While economic problems will continue on a grand scale for generations, the government will continue to ramp up the load on taxpayers to fund the Wizard behind the Curtain.

  Obama spent nearly $700,000 for stage, lights in Berlin (WashingtonTimes.com)
  [To be followed by a blame-game about the $150,000 wardrobe for Sarah Palin]

• Whether it’s because he feels compelled to be the tool of the Left’s victim-based delirium, or if his real allegiance is to America’s foes — Obama’s administration will immediately begin steps to dismantle the structure that protect Americans both within and outside our borders.

  Reasons to vote for McCain; reasons to vote against Obama (RightWingNews.com)
  “…at a time when America is disliked by her friends and loathed by her foes, [Obama] wishes to slash the military. He seems to be clueless that, in the real world, you first get people to become your allies, and only then do you lower your defenses. … McCain understands that the best defense is the promise that, should anyone attack you, you can and will go powerfully on the offensive. … I have to say that I find it amusing that all the good liberals at my martial arts dojo, the ones who are desperate to unilaterally disarm America, are assiduously training themselves to be strong in case of an unexpected personal attack on the street. It baffles me that they can recognize at a personal level that the strength and training they’re developing will not turn them into killing machines, but merely keep them safe; but are unable to extend that basic principle to a national standard.”

• America will become ‘just another country’ after having completely forgotten the history of our nation and our world — all from placing our hopes on one man.

  Hitler Runs for President (HistoryPlace.com)
  “[The candidate] criss-crossed [the country] in an airplane, descending from the clouds into the arms of growing numbers of fanatics, at ever larger rallies. He gave them a positive message, promising something for everyone, then ascended back into the clouds. … The campaign for president continued with the [Party] mounting another furious campaign effort with Hitler making several campaign stops a day. … Berlin was now a swirling mess of fear, intrigue, rumors, and disorder.”

  We could keep this up all day; but I’ll finish with someone else’s list that doesn’t mirror my own but covers a lot of ground:

  “A. The Bush Tax cuts will be rolled back and you will be paying a higher tax rate nomatter what you make! This will kill jobs and send other ones overseas to make things cheaper and to sell their products to other markets because this country will go broke.

  B. Social Security will just become another tax. You will pay into it and get nothing out of it when it comes time to retire. If you Depend on Social Security for a living now they will tell you Sorry We don’t have any money to give you.

  C. Your 401 K will be taxed. Barney Frank wants part of your retirement fund!

  D. Banks will become nationalized! And if you make any money on stocks if you have them and they are still worth something your going to get hit with high capital gaines taxes. Inflation will be high and intrest rates.

  E. They will cut the defense Budget by 25% while we have troops in harms way!

  F. National Healthcare for everyone that will help bankrupt this country. Just wait till you get sick and you need a test urgently and they tell you that you will have to wait 6 months to a year to get it.

  G. Acorn will be the national Registors for voter Registration.

  H. A Planned Parenthood comming to a corner near you ! Plus they will be put into our schools to teach Sex education to our kids.

  I.Your Second Amendment will go away.

  J.Your first Amendment will be limited.

  K. After all the money is gone the jobs we will all be in a soup line like back in the 30′s.

  L. Terrorists will be able to attack us because we have no way to defend ourselves.

  M. Crime will be rampant.” (Thanks to David S. at RedState.com)

“I have set before you this day life and good, and death and evil… therefore choose life. -Deut. 30:15″

John McCain pledges support for protecting innocent life in speech to NRLC Convention:

‘IN THEIR OWN WORDS: John McCain’s speech to National Right to Life’

More than 200 years ago, our nation’s founders declared that we are endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights, and that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It was no accident that they cited life as the first and most basic right, for without recognition of the right to life, we are not guaranteed any other rights. Sometimes all wisdom asks of us is that we recognize common sense. But sometimes wisdom, as to all other virtues, requires courage.

“Wisdom suggests that we should be willing to give an unborn child the same chance that our parents gave us. But it takes courage in this political climate to insist on the protection of unborn children, who can’t vote, have no voice, and can’t reward you with support and donations. Wisdom suggests that when federal judges impose their social views on the citizens of every state, the result is going to distort our politics in harmful ways. But it takes courage to insist that the courts have to return to their proper role.

“I will look for accomplished men and women with a proven record of excellence in the law and a proven commitment to strictly interpreting the Constitution of the United States. I will look for people in the cast of John Roberts, Sam Alito, my friend the late William Rehnquist — jurists of the highest caliber who know their own minds, and know the law, and know the difference.”

Barack Obama promises Planned Parenthood Convention that he will overturn all pro-life laws by signing FOCA as his first Presidential act!

“‘IN THEIR OWN WORDS: Barack Obama’s speech to Planned Parenthood’

Some people argue that the federal ban on abortion was just an isolated effort aimed at one medical procedure — that it’s not part of a concerted effort to steadily roll back the hard-won rights of American women. That presumption is also wrong. Within hours of the decision, an Alabama lawmaker introduced a measure to ban all abortions. With one more vacancy on the court, we could be looking at a majority hostile to a woman’s fundamental right to choose for the first time since Roe vs. Wade, and that is what is at stake in this election.

“The only thing more disturbing than the decision was the rationale of the majority. Without any hard evidence, Justice Kennedy proclaimed, ‘It is self-evident that a woman would regret her choice.’ He cited medical uncertainty about the need to protect the health of pregnant women, even though the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists found no such uncertainty. Justice Kennedy knows many things; my understanding is he does not know how to be a doctor.

“He dismissed as mere preferences the reasoned judgment of the nation’s doctors. As we’ve seen time after time these last few years when the president says otherwise, when the science is inconvenient, when the facts don’t match up with the ideology, they are cast aside. Well, it’s time for us to change that. It is time for a different attitude in the White House. It is time for a different attitude in the Supreme Court. It is time to turn the page and write a new chapter in American history.

“We know that five men don’t know better than women and their doctors what’s best for a woman’s health. We know that it’s about whether or not women have equal rights under the law. We know that a woman’s right to make a decision about how many children to have and when — without government interference — is one of the most fundamental freedoms we have in this country. We also know that there was another voice that came from the bench — a voice clear in reasoning and passionate in dissent. A voice rejected what she called, quote ‘Ancient notions of women’s place in the family and under the Constitution, ideas that have long been discredited.’ One commentator called the decision in Gonzales, ‘An attack on Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s entire life’s work.’ And it was. But we heard Justice Ginsburg and we know what she was saying. She was saying, ‘We’ve been there before and we are not going back. We refuse to go back.’

“We know it’s not just one decision. It’s the blow dealt to equal pay in the Ledbetter [v. Goodyear] case. It’s the blow dealt to integration in the school desegregation case. It’s an approach to the law that favors the powerful over the powerless — that holds up a flawed ideology over the rights of the individual. We don’t see America in these decisions — that’s not who we are as a people. We’re a country founded on the principle of equality and freedom. We’re the country that’s fought generation after generation to steadily extend that equality to the many not restrict it to the few. We’ve been there before and we’re not going back.

“I have worked on these issues for decades now. I put Roe at the center of my lesson plan on reproductive freedom when I taught constitutional law — not simply as a case about privacy but as part of the broader struggle for women’s equality. Steve and Pam will tell you that we fought together in the Illinois state Senate against restrictive choice legislation — laws just like the federal [partial-birth] abortion ban that are cropping up. I’ve stood up for the freedom of choice in the United States Senate and I stand by my votes against the confirmation of Judge Roberts and Samuel Alito.

“So, you know where I stand. But this is more than just about standing our ground. It must be about more than protecting the gains of the past. We’re at a crossroads right now in America — and we have to move this country forward. This election is not just about playing defense, it’s also about playing offense. It’s not just about defending what is, it’s about creating what might be in this country. And that’s what we’ve got to work together on.

“There will always be people, many of goodwill, who do not share my view on the issue of choice. On this fundamental issue, I will not yield and Planned Parenthood will not yield…. [T]he first thing I’d do as president is sign the Freedom of Choice Act. That’s the first thing that I’d do…. That’s why I think it’s important for us obviously to get not only a Democratic White House as well as a stronger Congress to protect these rights.”

According to a report provided by the Library of Congress to Congress [PDF],

The Former Presidents Act, as amended, provides each former President a taxable pension that is equal to the annual rate of basic pay for the head of an executive department (Executive Level I), currently $191,300. The pension begins immediately upon a President’s departure from office at noon on Inauguration Day, January 20. The Secretary of the Treasury is responsible for making the monthly pension payments, as authorized by the FPA.

Despite the chain letter going around that the pension ends when a former president reaches the age of 80, there is no such stipulation in the law.

However, it’s obvious that the longer a president lives after his tenure in office, the more it will cost tax payers. With no wish for McCain’s family that he passes on prematurely — we will point out that all the Obama-as-underwear-model pictures ‘leaked’ to the press suggest that The One will simply be another of the many CEOs walking the planet with a golden parachute no one can justify, long after having left the organization they were hired to lead. And assuming, for the moment, that he lives to be as old as John McCain is at this moment (perhaps an all-arugula diet will stretch out his years even further), Obama will see another $3,252,100.00 of tax payer money AFTER he is out of the White House (paying no mind to what he will be able to sell the silverware for).
