SUFFER the Little Children: Adulation and Praise for False messiah

Not having grown up under a communist dictatorship, I'm not used to seeing brainwashed children singing the praises of "the Great Leader". What this does remind me of is Sunday School kids singing. This video is truly disturbing.

The last ditty, "Yes we can, can, can...", aside from being a cacophony, is mesmerizingly annoying. It's almost as if it's designed to put people in a trance.

The Truth About the Surge

Fast and Loose With Disaster Areas

The governor declared five more counties disaster areas last week. It's getting to the point where we're stretching the meaning of the word "disaster". At the current rate, we'll see "disaster" areas declared every time it rains.

Brummett and Me on Bingo Tax

John Brummett's column yesterday was about the bingo tax, so I'll take this opportunity to throw my two cents in. The bingo tax is just another example of government muscling its way into another money pile. Widows and veterans playing bingo for a non-profit have to pay up, too. This tax should never have passed and the government had no right to add administrative fees.

This is just one more example of the divide and conquer method of taxation. Take from a small group who can't defend themselves. This time it's veterans and widows. It's shameful.

But they're the government. Who's going to stop them? Us? How are they going to "give" us all those wonderful treats (you know, helping widows and veterans...) unless they take it from us first?

Back By Popular Demand: Hillary Calls For New Great Depression

I don't know if she's aware or not that the Great Depression was actually caused and exacerbated by the government's intervention, not the market crash.

Now Hillary's calling for some old school Depression era, Depression-causing response to the current upheaval. Brilliant. For those of you who are interested in the real history of the Depression, enjoy.

Biden Wants High Energy Costs, Too

Aside from wanting high gas prices, he also wants to prevent production of any new coal power plants.

Biden's Charitable Contributions

He really cares about the less fortunate.

2007 $319,853 $995 .003111%

Total $2,450,042 $3,690 .001506%

That's right. Only in one year (2007) did Joe Biden feel generous enough to contribute more than 2/1oths of 1% of his income. His average over the past 10 years has been 1.5/10ths of 1%. I guess when you're a liberal you get a pass since you get credit for giving away other peoples' money...

He really cares about poor people. I guess it's because he's just your average blue collar worker with $320,000/year income...

Debate Review: Obama In Over His Head...McCain Personifies Experience

Well, the debate's over. Here are some of my thoughts: Obama reminded me of a college debate student who studied over the weekend to debate a senior statesman. He was searching for lines he was coached to use, while Senator McCain was able to think on his feet from decades of experience, calling upon deep wells of knowledge and understanding of issues that are far beyond the scope of the ACORN weekend training in community organizing.

Obama claimed toward the end that we (America) are less respected than we were before 9/11. I beg to differ. There is one group who respects us far more that they used to: terrorists. Can anyone say with a straight face that terrorists respected us more when Bill Clinton was in the White House?

Another thought that occurred to me about Obama's position on the War in Iraq was something he hasn't said. While he was harping on a timetable for surrendering in Iraq it struck me that neither he, nor any democrat, has ever called for an exit strategy for Afghanistan... Why is that? I have an idea. They don't call for that because they pretend to be tough militarily by complaining about not enough being done there. Ironically, this betrays them, because it illustrates that when you support, or pretend to, victory you don't call for timetables. You call for victory.

My analysis, Obama's inexperience was front and center. His expression was constant constipation. Senator McCain illustrated who the leader is. His grasp of the issues was profound. It's not surprising, though. McCain was learning leadership in the Naval Academy while Barry was in short pants.

95% of African Americans to Vote for Obama...Racism?

If that's not the case, why is it reasonable to suggest that blue collar democrats are racists because some won't vote for Obama?

And Then It Was Gone...

I brought you the story earlier this week that Chesapeake was planning on cutting production. We were promised the moon and it turned out that it was just one more excessive tax from a bloated government.

Looks like we can't count on the severance tax for much. The governor claimed it was going to be an endless supply of money and that the price was going to go up indefinitely, right?

Arkansas GLOBAL WARMING!!! Commission FOR Higher Energy Costs

How much should Arkansans pay to feed the hysteria of the GLOBAL WARMING!!! hoax?

We're already funding an "advisory group" to "study" the propaganda about this hoax, designed to push a radical liberal agenda of government control.

I do find it ironic that the Arkansas Governor's Commission on GLOBAL WARMING!!! feels compelled to refer to itself as the Arkansas "Climate Change" Advisory Group. I thought the climate was supposed to be warming. If that's the case, why the change in nomenclature? Of course, the reason is that the weather doesn't always want to comply with the radical environmentalist claim that it's warming. Thus, they have to use the term "climate change".

Of course, the unavoidable question is how can you blame fluctuations up and down on man? Hasn't the climate always fluctuated up and down?

The rubber is meeting the road, though, with our taxpayer-funded "climate change" advisory group. It voted yesterday 11-10 to support a moratorium on the construction of any new coal power plants. The resolution is specifically aimed at the construction of a plant to built in Hempstead County by Southwestern Electric Power Co. (SWEPCO).

Why?

The result of such a moratorium is higher utility costs. GLOBAL WARMING!!! or "climate change", whichever name is being used, is the justification for Arkansans being forced to pay higher energy costs.

State Rep. Kathy Webb, D-Little Rock, is the co-chair of the advisory group. Look forward to her leading legislation to enact the radical goals of this group in the next session of the Ledge. Again, I ask, how much should the people of Arkansas be forced to pay to appease the kook, hoax theories of these radicals? How high do our utility bills have to climb until these kooks are satisfied?

For those of you who are interested in the facts about the hoax that is GLOBAL WARMING!!! or "climate change", follow this link.

Something Else About Which Max Brantley Has No Comment

Obama "Doing (his) Daughters"? Funny?

Can you imagine if that had been the line of Saturday Night Live?

So, why is it okay to say it about Todd Palin and his family? It's, by far, the most disgraceful and disturbing bit of political "satire" I've ever seen. The reaction would've been atomic if it had been said about Obama, but conservatives.

Greenberg on the ERA

Radicals on the Left, it appears, will never stop trying to resurrect this 30 year old plague.

Representative Dan Greenberg asks a few very cogent questions about ERA: "Why ? And, more particularly, what is the case for the ERA, and what are the actual policy consequences that this constitutional amendment would produce ?"

Unfortunately, there are some who'd like nothing more than to foist this monstrosity on us without ever considering the many possible unintended and disastrous consequences, many of which have already manifested in other states, such as public funding of abortions.

Greenberg's piece is superb and devastating.

Also, I see that ERA was brought up in a recent legislative race. I'm glad to see this in the open. Last session, the advocates tried to rush it through without anyone noticing.

More From Family Council and More Stupid Comments From Max

"...opponents of the Family Council's initiated act to make it more difficult to adopt had decided not to sue over their mean-spirited initiative. In that case, it was ever so much better for the people to decide the issue, the Family Council said then. In the case of the lottery, not so much."

Thanks, Max. Unfortunately, for you, the adoption amendment is pretty clear, whereas the lottery is intentionally vague. As Jerry Cox said when we spoke the other day. His legal challenge is based on the fact that Halter's lottery amendment intentionally does not define a very crucial term..."lottery".

That being said, it will likely open the way to a much more expansive definition, which could include instant lotteries (also called slot machines) in convenience stores or big buildings with lots of lotteries (also called casinos).

"50 years ago there were no electronic lotteries. It lets legislature decide what a lottery is," said Cox in our recent phone interview.

Democrats to Drop Biden???

I received this through some intermediaries from some well-placed sources. If Hillary's willing to do it, this would shake things up BIG TIME. Hillary's willingness was an issue, I'm sure, right up to the point that McCain picked Sarah Palin. At that point, I'm sure she reconsidered things, since she would no longer be very special in 2012 if we already have a sitting female veep.

---

Let me share some info with you that I have gotten from excellent sources within the DNC:

On or about October 5th, Biden will excuse himself from the ticket, citing health problems, and he will be replaced by Hillary. This is timed to occur after the VP debate on 10/2.

There have been talks all weekend about how to proceed with this info. Generally, the feeling is that we should all go ahead and get it out there to as many blog sites and personal email lists as is possible. I have already seen a few short blurbs about this - the "health problem" cited in those articles was aneurysm. Probably many of you have heard the same rumblings.

However, at this point, with this inside info from the DNC, it looks like this Obama strategy will be a go. Therefore, it seems that the best strategy is to get out in front of this Obama maneuver, spell it out in detail, and thereby expose it for the grand manipulation that it is.

So, let's start mixing this one up and cut the Obamites off at the pass - send this info out to as many people as you can - post about it on websites and blogs - etc etc...

Justice Served...Murderer of Six Year Old Found Guilty

One of three men who murdered a six year old girl the week after Christmas last year was found guilty today in Little Rock.

No word yet on Max Brantley and other liberals forming a group to defend the Little Rock 3, or LR3, as they'll, no doubt, be called. It's a cause celeb of liberals to fight tirelessly for the release and glorification of murderers and for the snuffing of innocent life (abortion see the linked pictures of unviable tissues masses), so this gets two birds with one stone, since an innocent six year old girl was also killed.

Here's the link.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Family Council on Adoption Initiative Opponents

I spoke with Jerry Cox on the phone earlier this week. We discussed a number of issues. Among the issues discussed was recent news that a group opposing his adoption ballot initiative has dropped plans to challenge the measure in court.

"We wrote the measure with a legal challenge in mind. That's why we patterned it after the measure in Utah," said Cox. "They were going to challenge our signature and allege that there was fraud."

Apparently the opposition group, cleverly named "Arkansas Families First", hired a firm in Texas to review the signatures. They didn't receive the results they were hoping for.

"Families First" has received donations of $10,000 from the foudnatuin that funds the ACLU in Arkansas. When asked about what kind of other support the group might get in Arkansas Mr. Cox suggested that most national gay groups are focusing their funds on fighting the marriage amendment in California.

Look forward more posts on my interview with Jerry Cox in the coming week. They've got a lot on their plate this election. It's often a thankless job, so I want to thank them myself for all the hard and important work they do.

Liberals Eager to Defend Murderers, Kill Babies

Barack Obama recently stated that it was "above (his) pay grade" to know whether or not an unborn baby is alive or not. That struck me when I was perusing the Arkansas Times blog. I came across this story about the so-called West Memphis 3, which is an insult to the Little Rock 9 if there ever was one, comparing three murderers to innocent students whose only crime was being black. But I digress.

With the flimsiest of evidence liberals flock to the defense of every celebrity murderer, complete with the Ditsy Chicks and bumper stickers, but can't rush fast enough past the mile-high piles of evidence the unborn babies aren't "unviable tissue masses".

That being said, I'd love to hear from a lib or two to explain this. Here's the link.

PER DIEM SCANDAL UPDATE: Democrat Fundraiser Invitation

The following is apparently an excerpt from the invitation to the democrat party fundraiser. The fundraiser, which we as taxpayers are helping to fund is scheduled for this Thursday.

This scandal is still going unreported by the media and, of course, by the Arkansas Times.

It is absolutely unacceptable that the democrat leadership in the Ledge is scheduling this inordinate number of committee meetings for the same day as this fundraiser. Arkansas taxpayers shouldn't have to fund the travel and expenses of democrats to attend a democrat fundraiser.

PER DIEM SCANDAL: Scandal Plagues Chairman Pryor's First Fundraiser: Democrat Legislative Leadership Schedules Committee Meetings Day of Fundraiser

The Democrat Party of Arkansas has scheduled its largest fundraiser of the year for this coming Thursday. The fundraiser coincided, coincidentally, with the day that the democrat leadership of the Ledge scheduled five committee meetings, the most for a single day all year (I've been informed).

Why is this significant?

Well, if you're a taxpayer, you're footing the bill to bring the democrat delegation to Little Rock. Not only will they receive per diem for their trip, they'll also receive mileage.

This remarkable coincidence of events is a real scandal to inaugurate the chairmanship of the democrat party by David Pryor.

They claim an "investment" of taxpayer money will create 19,o00 jobs in Arkansas. The real question is why private investors aren't rushing to invest. Another question is how many productive and useful jobs will be lost by this "investment" (ahem, diversion) of capital from the marketplace? If this was a productive use of capital the market would do it without government encouragement.

Didn't Pontius Pilate Vote "Present"?

A friend gave me that one the other day.

Democrats recently demonstrated how smug and disturbing their worldview is when they eagerly repeated the sacrilegious line that "Jesus was a community organizer. Pontius Pilate was a governor..."

Right.

Aside from being profoundly disturbing, this sick and blasphemous draws the real nature of Pontius Pilate's role into the light of day. Pontius Pilate voted "present" on the crucifixion of Christ. Like Obama, he wasn't willing to make a stand on a very important issue. At least, Pilate didn't fight to execute an innocent person, as Obama did when he opposed measures to outlaw snuffing out the lives of babies who survive abortion attempts...
