'He's One Of Them – She's One Of Us'

Affirmative Action, Barack Obama, Elections 2008, John McCain, Media, Sarah Palin

MSNBC’s Barack Brigade—Chris Matthews (said Obama sends a chill up his leg), Norah O’Donnell (like Campbell Brown, she too is not working with much) and wild man Keith Olbermann—attempts to speak over MSNBC analyst Pat Buchanan whenever he opens his mouth. Fortunately, the man writes up a storm. In the process, Buchanan manages to say it all about the Palin factor and human nature:

“Why did the selection of Sarah Palin cause a suspension of all standards and a near riot among a media that have been so in the tank for Barack even ‘Saturday Night Live’ has satirized the infatuation?

Because she is one of us – and he is one of them.

Barack and Michelle are affirmative action, Princeton, Columbia, Harvard Law. She is public schools and Idaho State. Barack was a Saul Alinsky social worker who rustled up food stamps. Sarah Palin kills her own food.

Michelle has a $300,000-a-year sinecure doing PR for a Chicago hospital. Todd Palin is a union steelworker who augments his income working vacations on the North Slope. Sarah has always been proud to be an American. Michelle was never proud of America – until Barack started winning.

Barack has zero experience as an executive. Sarah ran her own fishing fleet, was mayor for six years and runs the largest state in the union. She belongs to a mainstream Christian church. Barack was, for 15 years, a parishioner at Trinity United and had his daughters baptized by Pastor Jeremiah Wright, whose sermons are saturated in black power, anti-white racism and anti-Americanism.

Sarah is a rebel. Obama has been a go-along, get-along cog in the Daley Machine. She is Middle America. Barack, behind closed doors in San Francisco, mocked Middle Americans as folks left behind by the global economy who cling bitterly to their Bibles, bigotries and guns.

Barack has zero foreign policy experience. Palin runs a state that is home to anti-missile, missile and air defense bases facing the Far East, commands the Alaska National Guard and has a soldier-son heading for Iraq.

Barack, says the National Journal, has the most left-wing voting record in the Senate, besting Socialist Bernie Sanders. Palin’s stances read as though they were lifted from Reagan’s 1980 “no pale pastels” platform. And this is what this media firestorm is all about.”

[Snip]

Those who dare not speak honestly will omit the following: When you and I look at the Obamas we see accusing, blaming eyes. This, even though they are better off than we and have had opportunities we’ve not had because we’re the official “oppressors” and they’re the sanctioned “oppressed.”

Unrelated: Palin must muster a fresh speech; she keeps regurgitating her Convention address while campaigning. The lines sounded stale the first time she reused them.

The Obama Media Orgy

Barack Obama, Media, Morality

From my new WND column, “The Obama Media Orgy:

“… during her schmaltzy speech at the Democratic National Convention, Michelle Obama dogmatically recited the need to transform ‘the world as it is’ to ‘the world as it should be.’ She and her husband have been working on a central plan to better the world. Alas, changing George Obama’s fortunes is not in the blueprints. (How about some ill-fitting hand-me-downs, at least?)

As hard as it is to lend spiritual credibility to Michelle’s hubristic insolence, those with messianic complexes like hers might contemplate the Jewish concept of tikkun olam. It sounds grandiose—it means repairing the world—but it was intended as a humble and modest thing. It is the duty of the individual to help, bit-by-bit, to bring about a better world through unassuming, day-to-day righteous acts.

The idea of charity is to improve society, not the State; and to do so through personal, not political, acts.”

The John Edwards Thing

Democrats, Ethics, Media, Morality, Politics

Edwards had been carrying on with a younger, less classy, washed-out version of Camilla Parker-Bowles. Check Rielle Hunter out.

What have I gleaned from this unremarkable affair?

Nothing new. The man’s ambulance-chasing legal career already established him as a primo sleaze bag. Oddly enough, his public confession or statement reveals much more about his lack of character than the affair, which is a transgression many good people have committed. Edwards mischaracterized his 100 percent deceitfulness as being “99 percent honest.”

What else, other than that many men like simple, slag-like women?

That the National Inquirer is still the unsung newspaper of record in America, a reputation it established during the O.J. trial.

And that there is a reason Ann Coulter’s shallow fare is more popular than, dare I say, more substantial stuff.

‘For Unto Us a Child Is Born’

Barack Obama, Celebrity, Christianity, Media, Music

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government shall be upon His shoulder; and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, the mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.” (Isaiah 9:6)

So goes a chorus to G.F. Handel’s piece of heaven, “Messiah”—all the more heavenly when sung by the great “Mormon Tabernacle Choir.”

Listen.

This section gives me goose bumps (okay; such sublime beauty actually makes me weep).

“The Child,” the fist-bumping fan of rapper Ludacris, has probably never heard this bit of transcendence, composed as it was by a Great White. Still, the media, who’ve described their Anointed One Obama as “cerebral” and “intellectual,” made an important announcement today:

It’s His 47th birthday.

Notices were carried in all newspapers working for His election; bells tolled across the country, and town criers announced the occasion in places where rube-hicks were too busy firing their guns and shooting their mouths off against foreigners (while thumping their bibles) to hear.
