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.

Fast and Loose With Disaster Areas

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.

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...

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.

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.

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...

Levi Phillips: Boss Hogg of Carroll County

I was up late recently talking to some friends about various political figures in Arkansas. This guy really stuck out to me.

Levi Phillips is the Democrat party chairman and election commission chairman. He's been the Boss Hogg who's been trying to run Carroll county for his own benefit for years.

In run-off elections from the general and primary and special elections he would close polling sites in rural areas and Holiday Island, which is the largest precinct in the county. The obvious reason being that rural areas and Holiday Island vote conservative. By closing those sites he helps ultra-democrat liberals have more impact on elections and disenfranchise conservative areas by unfairly preventing all voters from receiving fair and equal access to polling places.

In this link you can see that in the special election for US Congress that Boozman won Carroll County only had one polling place for every 214 square miles while the rest of the counties in the 3rd district had polling places for every 25 square miles.

Funny, I thought only Republicans engaged in voter suppression, at least if hear it from Max and other liberals. These rural voters had to drive 40 to 50 miles round trip to vote that day. The average voter in Holiday Island is in their sixties.

Boss Phillips apparently claimed it was a cost issue. Turns out that was wrong. The state paid for most of these elections.

Another juicy tidbit is that he has received somewhere in the range of 1.4 million to 2 million dollars from the county and state in lease payments for buildings he owns.

So, let me get this straight Boss Phillips can't see fit to spend $500 dollars to ensure fair and equal access to polling places but doesn't have a problem sticking millions of taxpayer dollars in his own pocket...

Concerned citizens have asked the state and feds to monitor the election this fall.

Here are some election irregularities from the Hazzard County of Arkansas:

One Republican got 61% of the vote in Boone County, 54% of the vote in Carroll County on election day. In early voting he got 57% of the early votes with voters using touch screens but only get 38% of the paper ballots. Do you see some problems?

After doing some digging, I came up with an interesting article illustrating the character of Boss Levi Phillips.

New Per Diem Rates For Legislators: Watch Out For Legislators Driving to Little Rock For Bigger Paychecks

The following is a memo to legislators informing them about their new per diem pay. If a legislator spent a whole year in Hot Springs, they'd get paid an extra $53,655 per year. That doesn't count the rest of the pay they receive. Now, that's a worst case scenario, but consider how much these guys stand to make if we go to an annual legislative session.

Also, keep in mind that this is tax free money since it is a "reimbursement".

I have spoken with my sources who inform me that this does not include mileage, which they also get paid. I was also informed that per diem is still paid even if the legislator lives in subsidized housing on Capitol Hill.

Dear Fellow Conservative

The following is an open letter from a friend that I felt was worth publishing. He wrote it the night after Governor Palin's acceptance speech. I apologize for not posting it sooner.

---

I cannot describe the difference in my political excitement today versus March. As some of you I have been a conservative activist since 1992. Along with some of you I have knocked on many doors, stuffed paper boxes, worked phone bank for candidates up and down the ticket. I have been there during the greatest high (1994) and the greatest low (2008 primary). As of last Thursday I was still just going to vote for the McCain ticket. My excitement level on a scale of 1-10 was about a 2 (and the only reason it was that high was that I was really more anti-Obama). Last Friday that changed with his pick of a real populist, authentic conservative who really is like one of us. I am now at an 11!

I want to especially thank the left-wing media for trashing Gov. Palin and her family over the last few days in an attempt to destroy this independent principled woman. These left-wing media did more to fire me up than anything McCain could ever do. I especially want to single out MSNBC (I mean DNCTV). A sign in the background on DNCTV directly at DNCTV and the entire mainstream media read “You vetted Bristol is Obama next?” These clearly partisan, elitists wingbags sure look silly today.

Last night we saw that Gov. Palin’s authenticity, small town values, and record of accomplishment left the left-wing media nearly speechless and fear in their eyes (especially on DNCTV). She stripped the façade that is Barack Obama as just another elitist, liberal, big government politician and did it with class. Her realness will swamp their lies and politics of personal destruction. She said things last night that I had wished other conservatives had said in the past but didn’t. It was substance over style. It was action over mere words. It was governing over politics. It was populist conservatism over elite liberalism. Romney, Huckabee, and Rudy were all wonderful as well.

First words out of Chris Wallace’s mouth to Obama campaign: “You guys have problems”. Except the left-wing to continue the same gutter politics. I certainly hope that they do.

This doesn’t at all mean that McCain/Palin will now win. This misses the whole point. Regardless of who wins in November one thing is clear: The conservative movement is not dead. With Gov. Palin and Gov. Jindal and other young solid conservatives, we will continue to have a voice on the national stage.

Although all year I said that I wouldn’t give McCain money or time, I just gave money to the Palin/McCain (I mean the McCain/Palin) ticket at http://www.johnmccain.com/ and I encourage you to do this same.

Let’s get to work.

Beebe Says Not Allowing Illegal Aliens Attend College Will Cost Taxpayers???

"In Arkansas, our emphasis for higher education has to be in raising graduation rates and getting ourselves a lot higher nationally than we are now rather than patch a broken federal system using Arkansas taxpayer money..." That's what the governor's spokesman, Matt DeCample, had to say about the idea that we should stop illegal aliens from attending Arkansas colleges.

A very important question is whether the governor's earlier executive order prohibiting admission is considered by the AG's opinion...

Here's a post I did about Jim Miranda saying it was okay to deny illegal aliens admission. At this moment there is no mention of this latest announcement by the AG on the "Friendship" Coalition's website.

Tom Cotton: Arkansas Soldier Re-Ups; Continues to Sacrifice Lucrative Law Career

On this September 11th, I'm proud to bring you the story of an extraordinary American (and Arkansan). Tom Cotton (not the father-in-law of Sam Gamgee) first drew national attention when he wrote an open letter, while serving in Iraq, chastising the New York Times for its treasonous (my word) exposure of efforts to expose an American operation to seize the funds of terrorists.

Now Captain Cotton, USA, has re-upped to serve in Afghanistan. Cotton, a Dardanelle native, resigned from a prestigious law firm after September 11, 2001 to pursue a commission in the U.S. Army, as an infantry platoon commander.

I'm proud to have met Captain Cotton on a few occasions just before he shipped out. He's one Arkansan of whom we can all be proud.

This is incredible. I wouldn't put it past Obama to dump Joe Biden in order to get Hillary on the ticket. He's probably the most ambitious politician in politics today.

Obama Culture of Corruption: Scandal Continues to Plague ACORN

Barack Obama is of course well-known for being a "community organizer" for ACORN, a group infamous for being the most corrupt voter fraud promoter in American history (well, it's probably tied with the democrat party).

September 11, 2001: We Still Haven't Forgotten

7 years ago, right about this time, I was driving to the office when I heard Neal Gladner cut in on whatever his topic was with news of the first plane hitting the North Tower. I remember thinking it was an accident. At the time, the news was reporting a small plane not an airliner. When I got to the office I switched on my television just after the second plane hit the South Tower. It hit me that this wasn't an accident. I watched as the news replayed the second plane, recognizing a 767. I looked out my window and thought about a plane hitting my building, which is one of the taller buildings in Little Rock. I was in a daze until I saw the buildings crash to the ground. I felt sick in the pit of my stomach. It was finally sinking in that we were being attacked and that lots of Americans had just died.

In the ensuing days, it was clear that America was united. 7 years later we are more divided than ever. There is a political party which is dead set on us losing the War in Iraq, despite overwhelming evidence that we are winning there. They are dead set on not talking about the events of September 11, 2001. If they succeed, terrorists the world over will rejoice, as Osama bin Laden has stated just last year. Yet, they play at having America's interest at heart. They call wanting America to lose patriotic. Terrorists won't simply rejoice, though. They will be emboldened and many, many people will die. Sooner than later the news will start to look like an episode of 24.

God help us.

September 11, 2001. They have forgotten. We will not. I will not.

NEWSFLASH: AG McDaniel Illegal Aliens Can Attend AR Colleges

So much for the law. I encourage those of you who are legal citizens and attending college to refuse to provide identification to your college registrar. See if they give you the same privilege of attending college sans proper identification. I'm betting they won't allow American citizens to do that.

Sexist Democrats

Apparently, sexism is alive and well on the democrat ticket. The best Joe Biden can muster about a wildly popular and successful governor is that she's good looking. Demeaning women is a specialty of democrats, despite their rhetoric.

Dobbins Running Out of Time

This is interesting. Perhaps money is a consideration, but Molester Dwayne Dobbins has yet to file a challenge to the democrat party's rules change which appears to be effective, so far, at keeping him off the ballot, as a democrat, anyway. I haven't heard of any lobbyist stupid enough to send him a check.

Another question: has the democrat party returned his filing fee?

Good News: McCain Will End Abortion (Or So Says New Obama Ad)

I really hope this ad gets big air time. And here I thought Obama believed the knowledge of when life begins is above his pay grade. If that's the case, why doesn't he air on the side of President Reagan, who suggested that if you come across a baby in a paper bag you don't just kick because you don't know if it's alive.

Obama is making a big mistake if he thinks abortion is a winning issue for democrats. They've been losing ground on this issue for decades, as the public has educated itself on what it actually is.

As you've probably guessed, this isn't his ad, just an interesting look at Obama's extremist, infanticidal views.

Palin Tonight

It's amazing to see the state of panic on the Left and in the media about Governor Sarah Palin. It's instructive to witness the sheer terror about McCain's choice. Meanwhile, Conservatives are ecstatic about Obama picking Biden.

It's also interesting to consider that every speaker at the Republican Convention has plenty of good things to say about Senator McCain. At the democrat convention, there wasn't one speaker who was able to brag about Obama's past, because there's nothing to brag about.

OF COURSE: Huckster Denies Primary Alliance With McCain

The Huckster just can't help himself.

Despite his recent lies to Rush Limbaugh about the circumstances of the West Virginia primary, Mike Huckabee can't help but further his deception, claiming that he had no alliance with Sen. McCain during the primary.

The supposed non-alliance in question was so blatantly obvious, with Huckabee staying in the race well after his ability to win, which was clearly designed to prevent Gov. Romney from winning the nomination. Huckabee made it a practice never to criticize McCain, a practice which McCain largely reciprocated. In the later primaries Huck and McCain divided up the states to conserve their resources in a successful attempt to prevent Romney's ascension.

RNC Convention Coverage: Talking Heads Talking Over

There's nothing quite as fascinating to talking heads than hearing themselves talk. Even when they're sent to cover someone else's speech, they can't wait to hear what they think about it.

That was the case last night on the big three networks. I watched the convention with a friend who didn't have cable hooked up, so we were forced to flip back and forth between the inane babblings of these self-important snobs.

The main goal was to hear Fred Thompson's speech, who, from the parts I was able to hear, was fantastic. If I can find all of his speech on video, I'll post it asap.

His most compelling passage was when he described McCain's courage while spending 5 1/2 years as a POW. It was truly a moving description of this harrowing experience.

His most memorable line was his description of democrats on taxes, which I'll have to paraphrase: "democrats say, 'don't worry about tax increases. We're going to raise them on businesses.' That's okay, unless you buy milk or eggs or oil or anything from a business or get a paycheck from a business..."

Another profound line from Fred: "It's pretty clear there are two questions we will never have to ask ourselves, 'Who is this man?' and 'Can we trust this man with the Presidency?'"

He was followed by Joe Lieberman, who served to deflate much of my enthusiasm, glowingly describing McCain's commitment to solving GLOBAL WARMING!!!, among other liberal policies McCain has championed. His only redeeming reminder was of Senator McCain's commitment to our victory in the War on Terror.

It was significant to have a former democrat vice presidential candidate speaking at the Republican convention for the Republican presidential candidate.

POLLS: Palin Announcement Wipes Out Obama Convention Bounce

This cracks me up. The day after Obama's speech from Mount Olympus news of it (and interest) disappeared from the face of the planet.

A friend was shocked at the reaction of liberal coworkers, who are universally angry with the choice. I commented that the irony is that we were ecstatic about Obama's choice of Biden. After seeing the swing in the polls away from Obama it's no wonder democrats are upset.

ALERT: Prayers for Senator Glover; Suffers Stroke

News broke today that State Senator Bobby Glover, D-Lonoke County, has suffered a stroke. It apparently occurred last week, but early reports are that it was mild and he is expected to make a full recovery. This is very good to hear. Senator Glover is an example of a superb, conservative democrat senator for whose service we should be thankful.

You're in our prayers Senator.

You can see Palin's son, Track, in the picture on her desk.

Senator McCain has a son who is a Marine serving in Iraq. I imagine we won't hear this criticism anymore.

Indoctrinated Governor's School Kids Illustrate Ignorance

Apparently, Governor Beebe was blindsided by a group of spoiled, indoctrinated kids at the Governor's School. What did he expect? That's what the school was created to do: spoil and indoctrinate kids in liberalism.

Who cares that energy costs are through the roof and that we already use coal for energy production and these kids can't tell the difference? It doesn't even occur to them that coal "pollution" hasn't negatively affected anything. On the contrary, clean burning coal provides abundant electricity for a growing economy.

Thankfully, the governor is smart enough to ignore this tantrum.
