“Cheneyed” by Obama; - Air America.

Francis Rice of the National Black Republicans, (NBRA) has a great article in Canada Free press pointing to the disparity in the liberal response to two incidents where Obama was called a liar. In the first they are in hysterics about the truthful statement by Joe Wilson of South Carolina at the Obamacare speech. In the second they are rather mute on the statement on Air America, which far more damagingly referred to him as a “charming liar.”

The Air America one is on a left wing site, and accuses him of conning them. Coming from some of his most loyal supporters, it doesn’t come more damaging than that. But it does.

At the end of the video below the question is asked, "What if the people out there screaming and breaking up the town hall meetings are correct?" Then it goes on to suggest that it could be "the absolute fascist nightmare." These are his supporters talking!!!

Here is the video. (From Red State.)


In what is probably one of the most effective and blistering attacks on him that I have seen Rice makes the points:

From the moment he stepped onto the national stage to campaign for the presidency, Obama has consistently lied to the American people in order to convince us to trust him with our economic and national security. Since becoming our president, he has betrayed that trust.

During his first eight months in office, Obama has exhibited his admiration for dictators and disdain for our allies. He offended the Queen of England and bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia. He praised the Marxist Daniel Ortega, kissed Socialist Hugo Chavez on the cheek and endorsed the Socialist Evo Morales of Bolivia. He sided with Hugo Chavez and Communist Fidel Castro against Honduras, a country that followed its constitution and stopped its president from illegally turning himself into that country’s dictator. Obama announced that he would meet with Iranians with no pre-conditions, while they’re building their nuclear weapons.

Obama displayed a blatant lack of concern for what is in the best interest of America when he circled the globe and publicly apologized for America’s world leadership. He told the Mexican president that Americans are responsible for the violence in Mexico. He announced a cut in funding for our new missile defense system the day after an ICBM was launched by North Korea. He released information on U.S. intelligence gathering despite contrary urgings of his own CIA director and the four prior CIA directors. He ordered that the word “terrorism” be stricken from our discourse and replaced with the innocuous words “man made disasters.” He appointed a Homeland Security Chief who identified military veterans and abortion opponents as “dangers to the nation.” ………….

It is well worth a read of the full article.

Interview; Frances Rice, Chair,NBRA.

The latest NBRA (National Black Republican Association) newsletter highlights an interview with Francis Rice its Chairman. In the last election I came to have a great admiration for both Francis and the organization as a whole. Here she explains why she is a Republican, her background, why most black Americans are Democrats and the reasons why they are misguided in this.



There are two following clips: -

Part 2, on Martin Luther King being a republican, and why. And; Part 3 on Obama and the origins of that “Magic Negro matter,” the Democrat “Uncle Tom” message on black conservatives, and the culture of victimhood.

EGO AND MOUTH

By Thomas Sowell.

This was sent to me by the NBRA. (National Black Republican Association.)

After the big gamble on subprime mortgages that led to the current financial crisis, is there going to be an even bigger gamble, by putting the fate of a nation in the hands of a man whose only qualifications are ego and mouth?

Barack Obama has the kind of cocksure confidence that can only be achieved by not achieving anything else.

Anyone who has actually had to take responsibility for consequences by running any kind of enterprise-- whether economic or academic, or even just managing a sports team-- is likely at some point to be chastened by either the setbacks brought on by his own mistakes or by seeing his successes followed by negative consequences that he never anticipated.

The kind of self-righteous self-confidence that has become Obama's trademark is usually found in sophomores in Ivy League colleges-- very bright and articulate students, utterly untempered by experience in real world.

The signs of Barack Obama's self-centered immaturity are painfully obvious, though ignored by true believers who have poured their hopes into him, and by the media who just want the symbolism and the ideology that Obama represents.

The triumphal tour of world capitals and photo-op meetings with world leaders by someone who, after all, was still merely a candidate, is just one sign of this self-centered immaturity.

"This is our time!" he proclaimed. And "I will change the world." But ultimately this election is not about him, but about the fate of this nation, at a time of both domestic and international peril, with a major financial crisis still unresolved and a nuclear Iran looming on the horizon.

For someone who has actually accomplished nothing to blithely talk about taking away what has been earned by those who have accomplished something, and give it to whomever he chooses in the name of "spreading the wealth," is the kind of casual arrogance that has led to many economic catastrophes in many countries.

The equally casual ease with which Barack Obama has talked about appointing judges on the basis of their empathies with various segments of the population makes a mockery of the very concept of law.

After this man has wrecked the economy and destroyed constitutional law with his judicial appointments, what can he do for an encore? He can cripple the military and gamble America's future on his ability to sit down with enemy nations and talk them out of causing trouble.

Senator Obama's running mate, Senator Joe Biden, has for years shown the same easy-way-out mindset. Senator Biden has for decades opposed strengthening our military forces. In 1991, Biden urged relying on sanctions to get Saddam Hussein's troops out of Kuwait, instead of military force, despite the demonstrated futility of sanctions as a means of undoing an invasion.

People who think Governor Sarah Palin didn't handle some "gotcha" questions well in a couple of interviews show no interest in how she compares to the Democrats' Vice Presidential candidate, Senator Biden.

Joe Biden is much more of the kind of politician the mainstream media like. Not only is he a liberal's liberal, he answers questions far more glibly than Governor Palin-- grossly inaccurately in many cases, but glibly.

Moreover, this is a long-standing pattern with Biden. When he was running for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination back in 1987, someone in the audience asked him what law school he attended and how well he did.

Flashing his special phony smile, Biden said, "I think I have a much higher IQ than you do." He added, "I went to law school on a full academic scholarship" and "ended up in the top half" of the class.

But Biden did not have a full academic scholarship. Newsweek reported: "He went on a half scholarship based on need. He didn't finish in the 'top half' of his class. He was 76th out of 85."

Add to Obama and Biden House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, and you have all the ingredients for a historic meltdown. Let us not forget that the Roman Empire did decline and fall, blighting the lives of millions for centuries.

Obama and the welfare state.

The latest National Black Republican Association newsletter features an article, “A new Welfare state,” by Ken Blackwell.

Thanks to Joe the Plumber, we now know for sure that Barack Obama wants to "spread the wealth around." But the Democratic candidate still hasn't come clean on just how much of a European-style socialist he is.

Look at the "tax cut" he says he'll give to 95 percent of Americans. In fact, this is simply a government check he'd hand out - including to millions who don't pay income taxes, since each year 38 percent of Americans already get a full refund.

In other words, his "rebate" is a welfare plan, plain and simple.

When called on this, Obama's answer is that those 38 percent still pay payroll taxes, so he's rebating part of those payments. But that actually puts him deeper into the socialist hole. Here's why.

Payroll taxes go to fund Social Security and Medicare - the main US social-insurance programs. The taxes are dedicated because these are insurance programs - you're paying so that you'll be covered when you hit retirement age.

But, down the line, these programs face a financial crisis even worse than the housing mess that we're in now. They need literally trillions more dollars (above what they're set to take in) to meet their current obligations. By federal law, absent those new funds, every retiree will automatically have his or her benefits cut.

If Obama means to rebate those payroll taxes from the Social Security/Medicare funds, he's accelerating the bankruptcy of those programs. If not, he's still transferring money from people who pay income taxes to those who don't.

There's more: Either way, Obama is effectively changing these cores of American retirement from social insurance programs to European-style social welfare programs: Instead of each of us paying into the fund, and later collecting on that basis, some people will be paying in less to collect the same benefit.

That's a flat-out repudiation of President Franklin Roosevelt's vision in founding Social Security, and of the promise that's always underlain Medicare. Neither was ever supposed to become a charity program - but Obama's pointing down just that road.

The Obama double bind is either bankrupt our nation's retirement programs or put the nation on the path to European-style socialism. Which is it?

No wonder Obama is so popular is Europe: The Europeans finally found an American who thinks like they do. (And they won't mind in the least when we start suffering the sky-high unemployment and lack of economic growth that socialism has given them.) …….

For the rest of it go here.

Powells bizare endorsement of Obama.

It is difficult to understand why Colin Powell would endorse the Democrats, why they would want him to, other than as another high profile endorsee, or how he will actually fit in there. Powell has had a fairly distinguished career over many years including National Security Advisor, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Secretary of State, and was mooted as a Republican challenger to Clinton in 96 but turned it down. Along with substantial military service this is no small achievement.

Interestingly, his senior administrative appointments were all given to him by Republican Presidents, Reagan, Bush Snr. and George W Bush.

The Democrats claim to be against the Iraq war, and insist that they were mislead by the Bush administration. Powell as Secretary of State would have to take some responsibility for this if it were the case and if in fact they were mislead as they claim, he was in a position to be part of the misleading. Is this the sort of man they really want?

Who can forget the sterling service he performed assuring the UN that there could be no doubt that Saddam Hussein had biological weapons and the capability to rapidly produce more? He also claimed that there was no doubt in his mind that Hussein was working to produce nuclear weapons.

His value to Obama as an advisor has to be seriously questioned as his assessment of ‘the surge’ was about as wrong as you can get.

On CBS’s Face the Nation in December 2006 Powell said he did not support surging tens of thousands more troops in Iraq, a plan that Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) supported and that President Bush was at the time expected to carry out and did. “I have not seen a case that persuades me that [Iraqi security] would be better” with more forces, he said.

McCain has insisted ever since the invasion that there should be more troops in Iraq against stiff resistance, finally getting his way and has been vindicated by the result. Powell has been proven dead wrong on this issue. The disturbing thing about this is that for much of this time Powell, who opposed the idea of more troops, had the ear of the President as his Secretary of State and thus may have been responsible for the pre-surge debacle.

It is difficult to see how he will fit in with the Democrats; successful black people tend to be frowned on apart from those who use the welfare system and class hatred to keep the rest down on the Democrat welfare plantation. Powell was one of the successes, along with Condi, and others who were criticized by the ‘mentor’ Rev Wright. Prominent Obama supporters, Al Sharpton and Harry Belafonte have referred to Powell and Rice as “house Negroes.”

This is not a new phenomena, President Lyndon Johnson is said to have made the comment about MLK, "That goddamn nigger preacher may drive me out of the White House."

Powell’s reasons for endorsing Obama seem a little odd. Powell called Obama a "transformational figure" in the nation's history, which given that he has done little other than run for president seems a strange assessment.

His expression of disappointment in the negative tone of McCain's campaign, indicates that he has fallen for the Obama rhetoric, McCain has been critical of the Obama campaign, but hell it is an election and no candidate has ever won an election by approving of every point in his opponents portfolio. The Obama campaign has been totally negative throughout the campaign.

He doesn’t like the choice of Palin as a running mate as he feels that she is too inexperienced. Rather weird, given that Palin has far more experience than the candidate he is endorsing for President.

The decision to focus in the closing weeks of the contest on Obama's ties to 1960s-era radical William Ayers upsets him as "it goes too far." Get over it Colin, that’s a cop out and you know it. What sort of National Security Advisor would not be disturbed at the thought of an associate of at least two known terrorists (Ayers and Dorn) becoming President.

I disagree with the focus on Ayers, as they should also be mentioning all of his other unsavory connections.

Prominent Black Leaders Support McCain.

I have respected the National Black Republicans ever since I received their first newsletter. These people have taken a strong position in the centre of our front line where the fighting is the fiercest. They cop a lot of crap as a result but they haven’t flinched.

Below are a couple of items they have put out recently: -

In a powerful video with personal testimonials, key black conservative leaders, including Dr. Alveda C. King, the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., talk about how their faith influences the policies and politics they support. These black Americans state eloquently why they support Sen. John McCain and cannot, in good conscience, support Sen. Barack Obama. 

Democrats refuse to apologize to blacks. By Frances Rice.

(Follow the link for the full article)

Rather than do what is right and apologize for the horrendous acts of racism committed by the Democratic Party against black Americans, Democrats have shamefully shifted their guilt onto another party, the Republican Party. When confronted with unassailable historical evidence about their racist past, Democrats resort to the politics of personal destruction and attack the character of anyone who dares to tell the truth.

History, according to author Michael Scheuer, shows that the Democratic Party is the party of the four S’s: Slavery, Secession, Segregation and now Socialism. Democrats have been running black communities for the past 40 years, and the socialist policies of the Democrats have turned black communities into economic and social wastelands. The deplorable conditions in black neighborhoods is well-documented by black Democrat Juan Williams in his book Enough: The Phony Leaders, Dead-End Movements, and Culture of Failure That Are Undermining Black America. Democrats have the audacity to blame Republicans for the crisis in black neighborhoods created by the Democrats.

If we, as a nation, are to heal our racial wounds, move beyond racial divisiveness and assure economic prosperity for blacks, we must first hold the Democratic Party accountable and demand an apology for the harm inflicted on black Americans. ....

Press Hit Job on NBRA.

A New York Times Company newspaper, the Sarasota Herald-Tribune (SHT), has struck again and published a second a hit piece on Frances Rice, this time with her grassroots organization, the National Black Republican Association (NBRA) also in the crosshairs. ….

Rice;

“As one pundit said: "Dogs don't bark at parked cars". In this most recent assault on me by the SHT, the reporters had the temerity to demonstrate that the real motivation for trying to denigrate me and the NBRA is a fear that our efforts will "foil the nomination of the first black presidential candidate, Barack Obama…" By their fawning coverage of Obama, the liberal press is functioning as a de facto 527 organization for Obama.”

SHT, (needs an I there somewhere): “Not only is she black, she is also a Republican, a member of a party to which fewer than 10 percent of black voters in Florida belong.”

Given that most people don’t tend to actually join the parties that they support, it sounds like they are not doing too badly.

SHT; “Her messages have brought condemnation from Democrats. But they have also sparked a backlash among many Republicans.”

This is hardly a surprise Democrats regard anything short of paying homage on bended knee to their candidate as controversial at least, and probably racially motivated. Some of the weaker Republicans are so cowed by PC that they are afraid of their own shadows. One Francis Rice is worth twenty of them, our side have to take the Democrats on.

SHT;

“When hearing that the chairman of the Republican Party of Florida, Jim Greer, had expressed disappointment in her magazine, The Black Republican, which Greer had secured party money to publish, Rice dismissed it with a wave of her hand.
The magazine featured a picture of Ku Klux Klan members burning a cross, with the caption "Every person in this photograph was a Democrat.”

Lets face it, the KKK were formed as the military wing of the southern Democrats, Dixiecrats still are the party of George Wallace.

Rice shows no intention of backing down. Her personal history of growing up in poverty under segregation is her fuel.

"This is the first time in my life that I have felt I am actually doing something about what the Democrats have done in the past and are doing now to black people," Rice said. "If the Democrats had left us alone after the Republicans freed us from slavery we wouldn't be having this discussion today. They are keeping blacks in virtual slavery." ……

“In July she launched three radio ads on WLSS, a talk radio station reaching from southern St. Petersburg to Venice, and more are scheduled to run in Charlotte County. One urges listeners to "Look beyond Barack Obama's skin color and soaring rhetoric and see an arrogant, elitist millionaire." Another refers to Obama's friends as "unrepentant terrorists." Another begins with the statement "The Democratic Party is a racist party.”

These statements demonstrate the value of this organization, it can attack in areas that the remainder of the party cannot without accusations of racism, and in a campaign where the candidate is using the suggestion that those opposing him can’t handle the fact that he is different to what they are used to (black) they are invaluable.

The response by Rice can be seen at the above link.
