Barack Obama's Houston Campaign Office

I wrote about this in a previous post. Now I have the photo to prove it! Barack Obama's campaign workers, seen here, apparently glorify Che Guevara, who was a murderous communist thug during the Castro revolution. Guevara murdered thousands of innocent civilians during his quest for power and was so radical that even Soviet dictator Nikita Kruschev distanced himself from him.

And so we have a communist Cuban flag with Guevara's face imposed upon it hanging on the wall in one of Obama's campaign offices. This man wants to be President of the United States! If this leaves any doubt as to Obama's stance on the political spectrum, I'll be covering that in greater detail in later posts. But I'll leave you with this to chew on... Barack Hussein Obama has been voted the most liberal senator in the U.S. Senate... even more liberal than the likes of Ted Kennedy, Barbara Boxer, Chuck Schumer and Hillary Clinton.

Che Guevara promised change and promoted himself as a man of the people. Socialism is very, very dangerous... and Barack Obama frightens me!

Barack Obama... Not Qualified!


I was listening to Sean Hannity's radio show yesterday on the way to work and of course he was talking about the election, specifically Barack Obama. Several Obama supporters called in, and after establishing that they were in fact planning to vote for Obama, Hannity asked them why and if they could name just one specific political achievement that led them to support Obama. Not one single caller, out of the four or five I had time to listen to, could name a specific political achievement that pulled them toward the Obama camp. One female caller said she likes Obama because, "He's just more likeable than Hillary Clinton." Well, I have to agree with her on that point.

This is a disturbing trend I've noticed among those who say they have voted for or plan to vote for Obama. They like the guy, but they don't really know anything about him. Truthfully, a lot of people don't know anything about him. Obama's voting record as an Illinois state senator is full of "no votes" or "present" votes. As a U.S. Senator, Obama has not sponsored or written a single piece of significant legislation that has been passed into law. He's sort of like a friendly ghost... you don't really know why he's there, but hey, at least he's likeable.

As Hannity gently pointed out to his callers and listeners, while like-ability is a good quality for a person to have, it does NOT qualify a person to be President of the United States. Listen to a Barack Obama speech and you're likely to hear the word "change" spoken dozens, if not hundreds, of times. Change is good in politics and I want change in Washington as much as the next American. But I want specific change, and that is where Obama falls way short. He almost never gives specifics on how he'd change anything. Be it social security, health care, the War on Terror or any other important issue facing this country, Obama fails to give specifics for his recipe of "change."

Barack Obama has been called a "visionary" and "the next John Kennedy" by many in the media and the liberal establishment. They couldn't be more wrong. Vision is about as useful as a screen door on a submarine without specific plans. Obama severely lacks the experience and knowledge to be the most powerful man in the world. No man, or woman for that matter, should ever be elected Commander-in-Chief of the world's most powerful military based solely on like-ability. The Presidency is not a job that affords the luxury of on-the-job training. The Presidency is not a job for Barack Obama!

Che Guevara Promised Indiscriminate 'Change' Too!


Barack Obama has some 'splainin' to do. Fox News cameras captured a disturbing image in a campaign office in Houston: that of a Cuban flag with Communist mass murderer Che Guevara's face printed on it. Naturally, Obama's "explanation" was that the volunteer office is independently run, so he has no control over what goes on there. And that's supposed to make voters want him elected president? Che Guevara may be fashionable among the nation's leftist college students, but we remind readers that it was Guevara who was "supreme prosecutor" during the show trials after Fidel Castro seized power, overseeing the execution of countless people. Cuba is also still under a U.S. embargo and, last time we checked, is still a Communist dictatorship. Seems the Obama campaign is trying to communicate an idea, even if the candidate himself appears bereft of them.

A Little Insight for Barack Obama

"You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot help small men by tearing down big men. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot lift the wage-earner by pulling down the wage-payer. You cannot help the poor man by destroying the rich. You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than your income. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot establish security on borrowed money. You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence. You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves."

Another Deadly Massacre in Illinois "Gun Free Zone"


Another deadly campus shooting today resulted in at least 5 deaths and more than a dozen wounded. Today's massacre took place at the Northern Illinois University in Dekalb, IL. I mention the location because this is Barack Obama's home state, where law-abiding citizens are prohibited from carrying weapons for self-protection. In fact, the only people who carry guns in the state of Illinois are cops and criminals. Once again, the victims in today's tragedy were helpless to defend themselves against an evil psychopath who didn't care what the law says about carrying a gun.

Barack Obama is a hard core anti-gun politician and so it's fitting that he's from Illinois. It's even more fitting that as a former Illinois legislator, he's at least partially responsible for the people of Illinois being helpless to defend themselves against violent criminals. Obama has gone so far to express support for outright banning handgun ownership altogether. Apparently he wants the rest of law-abiding America to be completely defenseless against evil criminals, just like the poor citizens of Illinois.

Brady Gun Control Report Proves: More Gun Control = More Crime

In January, the Brady Campaign released its annual "State Report Cards," scoring the states according to their gun laws.

Once again, the Brady rankings clearly demonstrate that states that have the most gun control tend to have the most violent crime.

Brady says that a state could get a perfect "100" if it would: limit the frequency of gun purchases; prohibit private transfers of firearms; require gun show attendees to sign a ledger to be provided to the police; prohibit the sale of firearms that do not engrave a serial number on fired ammunition and require registration such firearms' purchasers; license and regulate firearm dealers at the state level; prohibit handguns that do not have "smart" gun features; prohibit detachable-magazine semi-automatics and some pump-action rifles and shotguns; allow the arbitrary rejection of Right-to-Carry permit applications; allow local jurisdictions to impose gun control laws more restrictive than the state legislature; and allow the criminal prosecution of people who use firearms in legitimate self-defense.

Since most states do not have these kinds of laws -- gun control having been rolled back and rejected at the federal, state, and local levels in the last 15-20 years -- Brady gave most states "failing" scores. Forty-two states received 28 points or fewer, and only one state received a score higher than 63--California.

But, as usual, Brady's scores correlate inversely with states' crime rates. Using crime data published by the FBI for 2006, the most recent year available:

* California, the state that has the most gun control and received Brady's highest score (79), has violent crime and murder rates that are 14% and 23% higher, respectively, compared to the rest of the country.

* Brady didn't bother giving a score to Washington, D.C., which has more gun control than California and even higher crime rates.

* Most of the 38 states that Brady gave 20 or fewer points to, have total violent crime, murder, and robbery rates that are below the national rates.

* For states that have total violent crime, murder, and robbery rates that are below the national rates, Brady gave average scores of 19, 19, and 14, respectively.

* For the 10 states with the lowest total violent crime, murder, and robbery rates, Brady gave average scores of 12, 12, and 9, respectively.

Another Tragic Failure of "Gun Control" to Prevent Violence

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,327908,00.html

For those who don't know, it is illegal to possess firearms in Chicago and its surrounding suburbs. So how could the criminal who perpetrated this violent act possibly have used a GUN to shoot five innocent women? You mean to tell me that he didn't obey the law? Is it possible these women may have had a fighting chance if their right to self-protection (right to keep and bear arms) was not infringed by the fascist Illinois government? Hmmm.

USMC / U.S. Senator Tell Berkeley Commie-fornia to Get Bent

Well, the communists on the Berkeley, CA City Council are at it once again, voting this week to order the US Marine Corps to remove its recruiting station from the city's downtown.

U.S. Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) took great exception to this ruling, stating, "This is a slap in the face to all brave service men and women and their families. The First Amendment gives the City of Berkeley the right to be idiotic, but from now on they should do it with their own money." DeMint plans to draft legislation to rescind any earmarks dedicated to Berkeley in the recently passed appropriations bill, adding that any federal money taken back from Berkeley would be given to the Marines. He added, "If the city can't show respect for the Marines that have fought, bled and died for their freedom, Berkeley should not be receiving special taxpayer-funded handouts."

One Marine Corps official noted, "We understand things are different here, but some people just don't get it. This is a part of the military machine that gives them the right to do what they do, but what they are doing is extreme." BOY IS THAT AN UNDERSTATEMENT!

The Marine official told Fox News that Marine Corps Commandant Gen. James Conway scoffed at the news. He further stated that the Marines will not be moving the recruiting station. "To actually put something into law that encourages the disruption of a federal office is ridiculous. They are not going to kick a federal office out of its rightful place there, and this is not going to discourage those young patriots who want to be Marines."

The Berkeley council also voted to give the antiwar group "Code Pink" a parking space in front of the recruiting station as well as a protest permit.


I have an idea. Let's have the federal government completely cut Berkeley off from any and all federal tax dollars they receive. Since the city has clearly chosen to become a bastion for communism, anarchy and flat out apathy toward America's enemies, let's shut them out from the United States of America and treat them like the pansy-ass stepchildren they are!
