			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I would liken the 2009 East Carolina football team to a pirate ship caught in a heavy squall. Water is flooding on every deck, the ship is being tossed back and forth, and it&#8217;s all the crew can do to keep the ship out of Davy Jones&#8217; locker. Eventually, the squall will subside and the crew will continue their journey towards pillage and plunder, but for the moment the outlook is bleak. Before you decide to abandon ship, I have a few observations I have made in the past three games on how Skip and crew can right the ship and sail out of the storm.</p>
<p>To start, our offense and defense have been scouted and completely figured out. My dad was able to call our next play every single time from the stands during the game, and his vision is horrible. During the ESPN broadcast, one of the commentators revealed that the Defensive Coordinator of UNC-Chapel Hill talked to him about Pinkney&#8217;s tendency to throw to the right, so they were going to pressure him to throw in that direction and have a &#8220;wall&#8221; of players ready. There is an easy solution to this problem, and it involves going back to the multiple-quarterback system, which I will talk about later.</p>
<p>Another thing I have noticed is that Pinkney is not comfortable with the offensive schemes that we run. Pinkney is a spread-option quarterback and needs that spread field to find his receivers. How many times have we had a single receiver open and ready to make a big play, only to have a quick dump pass cause a loss of yards. Jamar Bryant managed to get open several times during the Chapel Hill game, but Pinkney couldn&#8217;t see him. Bring in Pinkney for the spread-option, Harris for the single wing, and Kass and Jordan when you want to try something else, and keep switching between different schemes to keep the defense off balance and force Defensive Coordinators to have to prepare their players for several styles instead of focusing in on just one. In this age of college football, bland offenses are predictable offenses.</p>
<p>The world and the season are not over. ECU was competitive in the West Virginia and Chapel Hill games and in the former, faced a QB that appears to be even better than Pat White was, and in the latter, was a typical ACC referee intentionally botched call away from forcing them to a field goal, or even better, blocking the kick and needing only a touchdown to win the game.</p>
<p>With a few fixes, this ship is still seaworthy, and this season is far from over.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>I posted this on my Facebook in response to a comment on my status update, but it was so well written that I thought I would repost it here.</em></p>
<p>Therein lies the problem, that anthropogenic climate change (or man-made global warming as it is typically referred,) still remains a theory as there are other models that can accurately account for the behavior but with an alternate rationale, such as solar activity and the natural ebb and flow of terrestrial temperatures. Until it can be proven without a shadow of a doubt, I do not think calling it scientific fact is appropriate.</p>
<p>One of the major problems I have with the theory is that there is a lot of money invested into turning the theory into a fact so that it can be used in a political sense, which denigrates the credibility of APCC and the scientists that do research into it. If you add &#8220;to study climate change&#8221; to any kind of grant request, you&#8217;re very likely going to get it from a regime that agrees with your assessment. What this has done is bias a large portion of the scientific community, which relies heavily on grants for its research, to have a vested interest in promoting it. What this has also done is create a convenient political rationale to exercise limits on particular industries and increase taxes on corporations and individuals in order to &#8220;fight&#8221; this threat.</p>

<p>This is all how politics plays an unfortunate role in science. The current Progressive or liberal platform and system of beliefs is built on three major pillars, Social Justice, Economic Justice, and Environmental Justice. While these are all perceived &#8220;justice,&#8221; a lot of their ideas are the complete antithesis of what we commonly refer to as justice.</p>
<p>For example, whereas Social Justice meant equality back during the Civil Rights Movement, in today&#8217;s world it has taken the conventional meaning that someone has committed a wrong and must be punished. It is now the practice of punishing white males for something their ancestors did several generations ago. They continue to fan the flames of racial and gender prejudice to get everyone hopping mad at each other for no reason. It makes me sick to watch guys go on TV and say &#8220;white folks greed runs a world in need.&#8221; That is &lt;i&gt;very clearly&lt;/i&gt; racism! You&#8217;re making an assumption about an entire race of people based on some tired cliché. Instead, people should be taught to look past physical identity and towards interpersonal relationships, but this doesn&#8217;t bring votes. In the progressive politick, people are split into different groups of people collectively known as a voting bloc. Part of the way they try to keep these voting blocs voting together is through this practice of racial division, so that these people feel isolated and that they can only trust people physically similar to them. This is a divide and conquer strategy. The progressive politician feels better when he has a subset of the vote to target rather than having to go after people individually.</p>
<p>Economic Justice is about punishing people who are wealthy because there are people that are poor. It is the inherent belief in a &#8220;zero sum game,&#8221; that for every person who becomes rich, there is another person that has become poor as a direct result. Thus, they believe the only way to make people &#8220;equal&#8221; is to take from the rich and give to the poor, but this is ignoring basic market principals. The market can expand and contract. As it expands, it supports a larger number of people, and as it contracts it supports fewer people. Taxes decrease the overall size of the market and the share of the market that each individual receives, as it decreases economic incentives for people to be in the marketplace. Thus, as a result of this &#8220;economic justice,&#8221; it creates an even larger disproportion of poor people to wealthy people. A good example of how economic justice fails is the housing crisis. Lenders were forced to give bad loans to poor people who would not be able to pay them back as a result of government intervention, Barney Frank being the primary culprit. As the number of sub-prime mortgages increased, the more money the Lenders lost until they could no longer sustain the debt and collapsed. The collapse of the lending industry rippled into the housing industry, and with an entire subset of the market reeling, the entire market contracted almost overnight. Continued government intervention has only contributed to the continued decrease in the size of the market.</p>
<p>Environmental Justice is the belief that all technology will pollute and destroy the Earth, and that innovation must be stifled and heavily regulated, and those that use and develop technology must be punished. This is where APCC, carbon offsets, pollution limits, the hole in the ozone layer and saving the trees go. The belief is that humans are some malevolent plague upon the Earth and that we only bring destruction to the system of life on the Earth. This is absurd thinking, but I&#8217;ll entertain the thought for a moment to demonstrate how it fits into the pillar. As with all progressive justice, it is about punishment. The lives of the first world countries are so much better than the lives of the third world. Most environmental practices usually involve getting rid of first world practices, lifestyles, and technology to instead adopt third world practices, lifestyles, and technology. This is the connection with Economic Justice and Social Justice. It&#8217;s all about the zero sum game and &lt;i&gt;perceived&lt;/i&gt; equality rather than actual equality.</p>
<p>Overall, the progressive ideal is that the world is not fair, and that everyone who is doing better than everyone else must be punished, rather than creating incentives for everyone to do better.</p>
<p>This is how, in a roundabout way, the liberal or progressive is more inclined to believe in anthropogenic climate change as opposed to the conservative.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After battling back from some mysterious illness which I believe to be a combination of Caffeine Deprivation and a bad pork barbecue sandwich, I read a few things on the internet that didn&#8217;t really jive well with me. Let&#8217;s start with article number one:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/07/13/cia-secret-al-qaeda-plan/" target="_blank">CIA Had Secret Al Qaeda Plan</a></p>
<p>The jist of this story is that after recieving orders from our former President to do so, the CIA started a secret operation to kill or detain top terror leaders and decided it probably wasn&#8217;t the best idea to tell Congress about it, considering the history of Democrats flapping their mouths about classified government secrets to the first news outlet they can find. Then, Leon <em>Pinhead </em>Panetta stumbles across it and decides to pull the plug, without even knowing what it was in the first place, then desperately tries to spin this into some evil thing Cheney was doing by having his concubines tell everyone &#8220;CHENEY INVOLVED IN SECRET GOVERNMENT CONSPIRACY&#8221; to make it sound like it was a bad thing to hunt down terrorists. Hunting down terrorists is a no-no in Barack&#8217;s Playhouse, but to rational minded individuals, it only makes sense to hunt down the people that swore to kill every last one of your people and stop them. I guess protecting America is going to have to wait until we&#8217;ve finished off socializing the economy, healthcare, and every aspect of our lives, then our President will deal with the terrorists the same way he deals with Iran: by bending over and whispering &#8220;take me gently.&#8221;</p>
<p>On to another topic was some story about Palin being interested in forming a third party. One, she never said that and she published the story on her site because it was related to her. Secondly, third parties never work and never will work. What we need to do is to force the liberal and moderate Republicans to shut up and let the conservative leadership steer the party in the right direction. People aren&#8217;t going to vote for a liberal Republican party that tries to pretend to be the Democrat party. Why vote for the party pretending to be leftist when you can vote for the real leftists? That&#8217;s why the Republicans lost in 2006 and 2008. The Democrats have been saying for years &#8220;You need to elect a moderate.&#8221; Well what the hell was John McCain? If anyone had actually been paying attention, the Democrats only give advice to the Republicans when it&#8217;s to hurt the Republicans. For instance, if they had said &#8220;Sarah Palin is the hope and future of the Republican party&#8221; you can damn sure bet she wouldn&#8217;t be the right choice, but instead, they attack her relentlessly because they&#8217;re terrified of what she represents, which is what makes her such an ideal candidate. Limbaugh, Hannity and several others have reiterated this point time and time again. The Democrat party will tell you who they laugh at and who they&#8217;re afraid of. They&#8217;re scared to death of Sarah Palin, which is why ever since she was nominated, they have been in a full attack mode to try and get rid of her. I&#8217;ve heard people I know talk about how dumb she is, and they haven&#8217;t the slightest idea that they&#8217;ve bought into the propaganda. It&#8217;s like a high school dropout trying to call Einstein a moron because the &#8220;telematube&#8221; told them so.</p>
<p>These people are called pseudointellectuals and the Democrat party is full of them. They feign being intelligent on pretty much every topic imaginable and will instantly jump into any fad or practice that makes them seem and feel superior to everyone else. They are elitists at heart and believe that the things they do autmatically make them better. For example, they think that because their college is higher rated than yours that their degree matters more than yours and haven&#8217;t the slightest clue how experience and hard work calculate into a person&#8217;s intellect. They are the kind of people who hung around Marie Antoinette while the people of France starved. They believe that they are <em>entitled</em> to be better than you. That is essentially the philosophy of most leftists and indeed the philosophy of the Democrat party. Why do you think their policies hurt everyone but themselves? It is so they can be the sole privileged class, while the rest of the country is poor and suffering.</p>
<p>This was a bit of a rant, but it was a lot of stuff I&#8217;ve been thinking about lately.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yeah I know, it&#8217;s been forever since I&#8217;ve actually done any updating on this site, and like usual I make plans to start doing the comic and my own perfectionist tendencies kick in and I go FFFFFFFFFFF and blow it off.</p>
<p>Mason&#8217;s gone and joined the Air Force or something, Gene has given up his soul to Wal-Mart and now slaves and toils his life away, Coyote is working on making some money doing side-projects and writing, while I&#8217;m out of college for the summer sitting on my butt. When compared with their lives, I&#8217;ve really got no excuse for not slapping together some pencil doodles and uploading them and trying to masquerade them as &#8220;updates.&#8221; Rest assured, if I can ever actually get over my stupid perfectionist streak, I will begin updates almost immediately. Pretty much the entire story of Bladen Force has been written, heck, there&#8217;s so many storylines so far, it will probably take us five years of updating every single day just to get through the stack of stuff we&#8217;ve already written, and I keep coming up with more and more ideas and pencil them in every which way.</p>
<p>As far as the website goes, I really hate using someone else&#8217;s theme, even though the Firefox theme has served us well since the website was brought up. I&#8217;m working on integrating a new theme and ComicPress together, as well as a new format for the BladenCasts and my own personal blog BladenWire, so that while they will still obviously be apart of the website, they&#8217;ll have a look suited for the what they are for. I&#8217;ll post some sketchings and stuff of the new site design in a few days. Of course, I&#8217;m the one who is doing it because I&#8217;m too cheap to hire someone to help me design a website, so it could take a while for me to finish it.</p>
<p style="font-style:italic">&#8211;JB<br />
<small>my head is bloodied, but unbowed.</small></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Alright guys, I know since everybody heard the term &#8220;vetting&#8221; they thought they would sound smart by using it in every concievable way. This is <strong>not</strong> the way the term should be used.</p>
<p>You vet the Vice President&#8217;s qualifications and past experience. This is historically how the term has been used, but since it was magically discovered by the mainstream press, its usage has gone through the roof.</p>
<p>So, I request that you please <strong>stop saying the damn word when you obviously mean to use the term examine.</strong></p>
<p>You examine Geithner&#8217;s horrible skeleton-filled past. You vet Joe Biden and see how many stupid things he&#8217;s said and done.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,485524,00.html">http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,485524,00.html</a></p>
<p>So essentially, they&#8217;re going to drop the personal information of everyone who donated to help Prop 8 pass to a group of people who have basically sworn to get revenge?</p>
<p>Typical California.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s more important here is the whole &#8220;gay rights&#8221; issue. Marriage is not explicitly a right. For example, you cannot get married to a cactus, thus Marriage is exclusive and not inclusive. Marriage is specifically defined as the matrimonial union between one man and one woman. The resulting union is based on religious practices as well as for the benefit of potential future natural offspring. Two men and two women cannot create natural offspring. Of course, then the argument is &#8220;Well what about people who are infertile?&#8221; Obviously, there is still potential for natural offspring as the woman or man in question is still genetically a woman or a man, thus they have the capacity.</p>
<p>The point I&#8217;m trying to make here is that I get angry when I see these people demanding that I have to give up my religious belief to satisfy their way of thinking, and I simply refuse, and when I refuse, they get violent and indignant and claim it&#8217;s their right to be violent.</p>
<p>What hurts me the most about this issue is that I&#8217;ve never had any problem with people who make the decision to be homosexual. That is their choice, and I respect their personal decisions even if I may not agree with it,  just like how I may disagree about what college you go to, it is your college and it is not my decision. What we often lose in these discussions is that people are still people and still deserve and demand respect, and it seems to me that while more people are respecting homosexuals, homosexuals are decreasingly respecting Christians who do not wish to change a sacred foundation of their religion.</p>
<p>They really don&#8217;t even have the right, because as I said, marriage is exclusive. If marriage were inclusive, anime nerds could marry their action figures, and the whole purpose of the system would come crashing down.</p>
<p>Ultimately, it&#8217;s not about equal rights or anything like that, it&#8217;s an attack on the moral fiber of America and religion in general by manipulating a group of people who feel slighted and prejudiced against.</p>
<p>It falls into the leftist ideology. They come to take everything you have so that it belongs to them. When you deny them at the door, they kick it down, when you try to ignore them, they spit in your face. They don&#8217;t mean to make you simply accept them, they mean to <strong>force</strong> you accept their lifestyle and the choices they make, even if you&#8217;re okay with them personally, that&#8217;s never good enough. If you don&#8217;t wholeheartedly agree with everything they have to say, you&#8217;re a horrible bigot.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sick of the hypocracy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>And so today, we close the chapter on the Bush Presidency, and we leave after having the greatest economy in both the 20th and 21st centuries talked into depression by a combination of media talking the economy down, and careful manipulations by the Democrats to cut the banking sector out from under its own feet.</p>
<p>We leave behind a successful offensive against Islamic extremists in Iraq and Afghanistan that the media lied about for years and years, saying it could &#8220;never be achieved&#8221; and was &#8220;doomed to failure.&#8221;</p>
<p>We leave behind peace and prosperity, which were called war and despotism by the ones with the quill pens, their pockets lined with tainted gold and their mouths full of falsehoods.</p>
<p>It will be interesting to see the cheerleading the media will be doing of the Obama Presidency, as every mistake he makes will be downplayed, everything he does right will be beatified, and anyone who dares criticize him will be a heritic.</p>
<p>What strikes me so much about the Inauguration is watching people look at him. I&#8217;ve seen those faces before: the look of a person who is completely and utterly captivated and controlled. The kind of brainwashed people who vote in a Saddam Hussein, a Chavez or a Stalin because of emotion, not the kind of rational individuals who vote based on truth, facts and logic.</p>
<p>It&#8217;ll be interesting to see how it all goes.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll be right.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So you want to claim Mormons are <em>bigoted</em> because they disagree with your assertion that marriage is a right (when it is, in fact a privilege,) and then you go out and start vandalizing Mormon churches and committing other such hate crimes. Being a Christian, I was raised to judge people on the content of their character, and if the attacks I have been watching are any indication, not only have you demonstrated poor moral character, you have performed the kind of horrible, hate-filled attacks that you protest every year on the &#8220;Day of Silence&#8221;. Only absolute monsters could do the kind of things that you are doing. You are the very thing that you claim you were fighting against.</p>
<p><strong>It&#8217;s absolute hypocracy.</strong> The people of California tell you that they believe marriage is a sacred bond between one man and one woman, and you run around throwing temper tantrums like a bunch of spoiled brats. I&#8217;m even <em>more </em>insulted that you compare gay marriage to the Civil Rights movement. Black men and women fought to be considered human beings, you&#8217;re fighting for the right to get extra tax breaks and force religion to change itself to suit you.</p>
<p>What is wrong with this picture?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear President-elect Obama,</p>
<p>How are you going to build new roads and bridges <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/elections/2008/11/22/obama-country-facing-economic-crisis-historic-proportions/">like you said you are</a> when we all know that you&#8217;re going to pull from the Highway Trust Fund to balance your budget just like Clinton did? After all, you&#8217;ve filled your staff with not only Clinton staffers, but the Clintons themselves!</p>
<p>You say you will modernize schools, but the Annenburg Challenge&#8217;s only purpose was to radicalize schools, teaching children to hate success and successful people, and teaching them to feel that the government owes them free hand-outs. You will seize charter schools from the people and force them into the public school bureaucracy, where their successes will be completely destroyed and they will suffer the same fate as all education in this country.</p>
<p>You say you will protect worker&#8217;s rights, but you support removing the Secret Ballot, which would allow tough Union bosses to forcefully expand their market destroying unions into every corner of the American economy and rot it from the inside out.</p>
<p>You say you bring change, but you&#8217;re only doing what every liberal President has done before you. You say you bring hope, and then have your handlers desperately try to lower people&#8217;s expectations.</p>
<p>You used your race as a tool for power instead of telling America that we are all the same race: We are all American, as my father once said to his 9th Grade English class.</p>
<p>Your whole life story is a rehash of the principles written by Saul Alinsky, that through bullying the American people and feeding them full of lies, that the liberal agenda can win, and he was right, to a point.</p>
<p>There is only one thing that you and your liberals fear, as Rumplestilskin feared his own name: the truth. When the conservative movement is united and stands against you with a true conservative candidate, your lies wash away in a sea of truth.</p>
<p>For our sake, I hope you abandon your liberal ideology and try to help this country through these tough times, but I know it in my heart that you are only out for yourself, and will run this country into the ground to satisfy your own lust for power.</p>
<p>Your administration will leave a Carter-sized path of destruction all over the country, but do not worry, because we&#8217;ve learned how to clean up your messes before. We&#8217;ve got experience. You sir, do not.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ironically, the Snow Patrol song came up on my playlist, and it got me thinking about Congress&#8217; new plan to bailout the automobile industry.</p>
<p>The problems of GM and Ford can be traced back to the very people that are trying to swoop in and save them: Congress. The Democrats, long-time supporters of the big labor unions, have increased pressure on the automakers to give ridiculously expansive health benefits and ridiculously overpriced paychecks to people for less and less actual work, and for much less quality. The unions are killing the goose that laid the golden egg: all of their demands are causing further and further damage to their employer, and now Congress is stepping in, wearing a golden cape woven from the campaign funds that these unions have given them, to <em>graciously</em> lend a helping hand to a struggling industry.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t buy it, neither do the Republicans, and neither do the taxpayers.</p>
<p>There is a much larger issue at stake here however: the American automobile industry is intricately tied to our military. Who is going to produce our military Humvees? The Chinese? For the sake of national security, we cannot allow the American car companies to go under.</p>
<p>It is with that in mind that I begrudgingly accept that this bailout is needed, as we must keep the industry afloat until an overwhelmingly Conservative Congress and Conservative Presidency can help to break up these unions and restore life to our automobile industry, but in the mean time, let&#8217;s not forget who caused this mess in the first place and who is ultimately going to get the vast majority of this money: The Democrats and their union lobbyists.</p>
<p><small><em><strong>Let&#8217;s waste time, chasing cars, around our heads.</strong></em></small></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Right out of the <a href="http://www.inthesetimes.com/article/4028/what_a_long_strange_trip_its_been" target="_blank">mouth of the beast</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;The ’60s, after all, was a time of rejecting obedience and conformity in favor of initiative and courage. The ’60s pushed us to a deeper appreciation of the humanity of every human being. And that is the threat it poses to the right wing, hence the attacks and all the guilt by association.&#8221;</em></p></blockquote>
<p>As usual, I reflect back on my father&#8217;s wisdom from the 60&#8242;s. The irony of saying the 60&#8242;s was about <em>&#8220;rejecting obedience and conformity&#8221; </em>is simply absurd. The hippies of the 60&#8242;s simply rejected one obedience for another, and conformed to another group, that of the communists and communist sympathizers, (Oh dear, the dreaded C-word! Dare I say it in modern times to accurately portray a communist!) The 60&#8242;s was a large-scale demonstration of why liberalism and leftist ideology does not work, as Lyndon B. Johnson was a self-proclaimed liberal and started the Vietnam war as an ego trip, the Saul Alinsky-ites went around preaching sermons about why it&#8217;s cool to hate America and American values, (much as the Media does today,) and many of these people ended up within the education system, to indoctrinate a new era of ignorant mindslaves who think not with their heads, but by the seat of their pants, whose selective moral outrage can be turned on and off like a faucet. Of course, I wouldn&#8217;t expect an unrepentant terrorist to understand the truth, as the truth does more to damage leftist ideology than leftist ideology could ever hope to barrage people with lies.</p>
<p>As I wrote in my <a href="http://www.bladenforce.com/bladenwire/2008/11/06/so-where-do-we-go-from-here/" target="_blank">previous article:</a> you must fight fear with unbridled truth, fight uncertainty with firm resolve, and fight doubt with decisive action.</p>
<p>As Ronald Reagan once famously said: <em>&#8220;Evil is powerless if the good are unafraid.&#8221;</em></p>
<p><small>(<a href="http://townhall.com/blog/g/1813ef0b-b9a8-449d-970e-5361e6299e51" target="_blank">as usual, thanks go to Amanda Carpenter of TownHall.com</a>)</small></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The evening of November 4th for me was much like the episode of South Park, with enthusiastic Obama supporters on the verge of celebratory rioting in the streets, and myself desperately trying to sleep and convince myself that the world isn&#8217;t going to take the next exit to the very depths of hell itself.</p>
<p>The pundits are busy microanalyzing every piece of everything the Republican and Democrat campaigns did, making their own assumptions and ideas about why the Republicans lost and why the Democrats won. Our fairweather friends like Mrs. Noonan say that conservatism lost, that McCain&#8217;s choice of Sarah Palin cost the Republicans, and that they were correct in saying the Democrats were going to win anyway, and we should just bow down and take it. They are essentially repeating the same I-Told-You-So mantra of the election prior.</p>
<p>Conservatism, when it is tried, wins every time. McCain made his career on opposing President Bush and the rest of the Republican party, and Obama&#8217;s ultimate victory came by casting himself to the right of McCain, just as many Democrats have before when going up against moderate Republicans. This election was not a &#8220;mandate&#8221; as the pundits suggest, nor is it a referedum on the policies of President Bush, (indeed then, they would have selected McCain, as Obama is more in line with Bush policy than even they realize,) it was a battle of &#8220;throw the bums out&#8221;, superior campaigning, and rallying the base.</p>
<p>The essential truth of 2008 is that conservatism is alive and well, and we as a party must return to these basic principles, of small government, of superior national defense, of personal liberty, of tax cuts and economic policies that promote innovation, investment, and economic growth, not destroy it. We must take a hardline stance against pork-barrel projects, and must begin to hand control of the party to the future conservative leaders, and take a strong stance in favor of technological innovation and keeping the Internet free of government-imposed restrictions that limit its original purpose.</p>
<p>Instead of just pointing out what Obama is doing wrong, we must point out what we would do right, and why our results will work better. We must work to promote our ideals instead of working to promote our own political careers. This congress will perhaps be the most corrupt and inethical congress in the history of this nation. We must take up the mantra of &#8220;Change&#8221; and truly bring that to the Congress and the Presidency. We must let people know how their Congress and President have abandoned them, and that we intend to bring true &#8220;change&#8221; through ethical reform and stamping out the special interests.</p>
<p>We must build a grassroots effort to dwarf that of George Soros and his Shadow Party. We must begin our stealth campaigns now to undermine his efforts and to let people know the truth behind the Democrat party, as it is revealed to them by their own eyes. We must call on the young to join with the old and lead what we shall call the Second Great Conservative Revolution, where we will not rebuild what was lost, we shall merely reclaim what was forgotten. We will counter the Democrats&#8217; tactics of fear with our gospel of truth, we shall counter their uncertainty with our firm resolve, and we shall cast away all doubt by demonstrating to the American people that their country has not and will not abandon them in their time of need.</p>
<p>We must let the Democrats know that we will not simply stand aside as they try to erode away the basic institutions and beliefs that this country was founded on. We must let them know that there is a God, and they are not Him, and are not entitled to remove His place from our country and national identity. We must fight to preserve the basic freedoms and liberties passed on to us by our forefathers and carry their burden of defending them against those that wish to take them away.</p>
<p>We must protect our borders while passing meaningful immigration reform to cut the bureaucracy that exists within the naturalization system. A country without borders is hardly a country at all, but we must keep the door of opportunity open.</p>
<p>If we follow our basic principles such as these, the people will again reward us with the honor of serving them. We are elected as public servants, not in pursuit of our own ideals, and must always be mindful of this. We are here to do what is right for the nation, not what is of our own personal benefaction. If we adhere to these basic principles, we and the country will emerge stronger for it.</p>

<p>Voting4Obama:</p>
<p>Hey girl. Or Guy. By the way, do you know about this person? By the name of Sarah P? I don’t know about her and I don’t know her. I also don’t know if what she says is true but… Aw, I’m sure you know each other! Here’s what she has to say:</p>
<p>Ok, I want to clear my conscious a little. Hopefully you could make a blog post to help some fellow clinton supporters out.<br />
I work for a campaign and can’t wait for this week to be over.<br />
I was doing it for a job. I was not a fan of any candidate but over time grew to love HRC.<br />
<strong>The internal campaign idea is to twist, distort, humiliate and finally dispirit you.</strong><br />
We pay people and organize people to go to all the online sites and <strong>“play the part of a clinton or mccain supporter who just switched our support for obama”</strong><br />
We do this to <strong>stifle your motivation</strong> and to <strong>destroy your confidence.</strong><br />
We did this <strong>the whole primary</strong> and it worked.<br />
Sprinkle in <strong>mass vote confusion</strong> and it becomes bewildering. Most people <strong>lose patience</strong> and just <strong>give up</strong> on their support of a candidate and <strong>decide to just block out tv, news, websites, etc.</strong><br />
This surprisingly has had a <strong>huge suppressing movement and vote turnout issues</strong>.<br />
Next, we <strong>infiltrate all the blogs and all the youtube videos</strong> and <strong>overwhelm the voting, the comments, etc.</strong> All to <strong>continue this appearance of overwhelming world support.</strong><br />
People makes posts to the effect that the world has <strong>“gone mad”</strong><br />
<strong>Thats the intention. To make you feel stressed and crazy and feel like the world is ending.</strong><br />
We have also had quite a hand in <strong>skewing many many polls</strong>, some we couldn’t control as much as we would have liked. But many we have spoiled over. <strong>Just enough to make real clear politics look scarey to a mccain supporter.</strong> Its worked, alough <strong>the goal was to appear 13-15 points ahead.</strong><br />
see, the results have been working. <strong>People tend to support a winner, go with the flow, become “sheeple”</strong><br />
<strong>The polls are roughly 3-5 points in favor of Barack. Thats due to our inflation of the polls and pulling in the sheeple.</strong><br />
<strong>Our donors, are the same people who finance the MSM. Their interests are tied</strong>, Barack then tends to come across as teflon. Nothing sticks. <strong>And trust, there were meetings with Fox news. The goal was to blunt them as much as possible.</strong> Watch Bill Oreilly he has become much more diplomatic and “fair and balanced” and soft. Its because he wants to retain the #1 spot on cable news and to do that he has to have <strong>access to the Obama campaign </strong>and we worked hard at <strong>stringing him a long and keeping him soft for an interview swap.</strong> It worked and now he is anticipating more access. So he is playing it still soft.<br />
This is why nothing sticks.<br />
The operation is massive, the goal is to <strong>paint a picture that is that of a winner, regardless of the results.</strong><br />
There is no true inauguration draft or true grant park construction going on. There will be a party, but <strong>we are boasting beyond the truth to make it seem like the election is wrapped up.</strong><br />
<strong>Our goal is to continue to make you lose your moral[e].</strong> We worked hard at persuasion and paying off and timing and <strong>playing the right political numbers to get key republican endorsements</strong> to make it seem even more like it was over and the world was coming to an end for you all.<br />
<strong>There is a huge staff of people working around the clock, watching every site, blogs, etc. We flood these sites. We have had a goal to overwhelm.</strong><br />
The truth is here. I could go on and on, but you get the picture.<br />
I am saying this because I know HRC was better for the country, and now realize this. I was too late by the time I connected to her. To me Barack was just a cool young dude that seemed like a star. I didn’t know him or his policies, but now I understand more than I care to and I realize <strong>his interests are more for him, and the DNC and all working like puppets with dean.</strong> I always thought a president wanted the better good for the country. The end result I see is everyone dependent on the government, this means more and more people voting for the DNC. This means the future is forever altered. I don’t see this as america, <strong>so I am now supporting John Mccain.</strong><br />
<strong>Sarah Palin is a huge threat, and our campaign has feared her like you can’t imagine</strong>. If it seems unfair how she has been treated, well its because <strong>she has had a team working round the clock to make her look like a fool.</strong><br />
this is a big conspiracy and I am so shocked that its not realized.<br />
We released a little blurb the other day that the Obama campaign was already working on reelection and now putting our efforts towards 2012.<strong> This was to make it seem like it was above us to continue caring about 2008. Trust me, its a lie. David is very smart, but its a sticky ugly not very truthful kind of intelligence.</strong><br />
Its not over yet, but I think the machine is working. And its a hill to climb.<br />
I will be quitting my post on nov 5th and <strong>my vote will be for John Mccain</strong>. Fortunately, my position has been a marketing position and I don’t feel I had any part of anything I would feel guilty for. But I look forward to getting out of this as the negativity and environment upsets me.<br />
I wish you all well, and goodluck.<br />
PS my name is not really sarah. but I am a female and I understand your plight.</p>
<p>If this rings a bell to you at all V4O, and if it is true, be sure to clear off and smear the disgusting sludge and grime and putrid sick of your candidate’s campaign somewhere else.</p>
<p>How’s this? I am as liberal as they come. I’m not conservative, like a lot of the lurkers on this blog. But I am a populist, FDR liberal. Barack Obama is no Democrat. And if you were as confident as you say, you wouldn’t be wasting your time on us scary “repub lites”, now would you?<br />
I know all about Hillary’s positions. I know how liberal she is. I know about John McCain. I know about Barack Obama. I am not a fool.<br />
<strong>But thanks to people like you, I know EXACTLY who I’m voting for on Nov 4th.<br />
And news flash:<br />
It won’t be Barack Obama.</strong><br />
PPS: Don’t be sad, V4B. According to Donna Brazile, you don’t need my vote anyway. Catch ya later.</p></blockquote>
<p>Well, this explains a lot, especially pertaining to all of the <em>&#8220;Comrade&#8221;</em> Republican that said they support Obama, and Colin Powell&#8217;s convenient endorsement. I had been saying since day one that the Internet is not as liberal as people want to make it, that there are paid employees that are sent out to websites like YouTube, Digg, et al. whose job description is to be that idiot that writes those hundred or so ridiculous comments about how great Obama is.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s a quote from an <a href="http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/09/04/protesters-try-to-make-most-of-republican-convention/" target="_blank">article up on FoxNews.com</a></p>
<blockquote><p>Tracy Molm, a member of Students for a Democratic Society at the University of Minnesota, urged students to get involved in protests scheduled on the last day of the conventions.</p>
<p>“Students in this country are angry. We’re angry because it’s us that are asked to fight and die in this <em>immoral and unjust war</em>,” Molm said Wednesday. “Bring that anger to the streets, because that is how <em>social change</em> in this country happens.”</p></blockquote>
<p>I think he fails to grasp the hypocrisy of protesting a war through violence and intimidation. Of course, were he in class instead of protesting, he might have actually learned the definition.</p>
<p>Saul Alinsky would be proud of the kinds of brainwashed, radical morons he&#8217;s created, a perfect zerg swarm of spoonfed lies, hatred and twisted ideology. I am a student in this country that refuses to buy into the opinions of the <strong>vast minority</strong> of idiots who spend more time complaining and rioting than they do studying and serving their community as I have. I am also insulted by his rehashing of Democrat talking points from Vietnam. Our country has a dedicated volunteer military that fights for us. He doesn&#8217;t have to fight a war if he chooses not to, and on that note, what about the Iraqi people who have fought and died for their independence? Are they <em>immoral and unjust</em> because they didn&#8217;t want to be ruled by a tyrant?</p>
<p>Does any of this rhetoric sound familiar? William Ayers was a former leader of the Students for a Democratic Society, and exclusively used it to recruit terrorists for the Weather Underground. He said the same kind of ignorant, radical, and used violence to intimidate people. Are these really the types of people you want running your country? I think not.</p>
