Obama knows how to pick 'em, doesn't he? Now it's Bill Richardson who's tainted, and apparently quite afraid of the confirmation process. Relax, Bill. Corruption is a resume enhancement in the Democrat party. Now, before you jump to any conclusions, rest assured that Barack Hussein Obama knew NOTHING about this. Nothing! He's a victim, you see!
Add Bill Richardson to the list of unsavory characters associated with Obama that he thought were pure as the wind-driven snow. Geez, if he's this stupid in his personal and political associations, I can't wait to watch him "negotiate" with the tinhorn dictators on the verge of nuclear power, can you?
Dr. Sprague serves as a minister-at-large for Northwest Independent Church Extension. He and Elvia stravel extensively, speaking in church, conferences, advances, and camps, as well as representing the mission. In 2007 he was privileged to serve as interim pastor for a church in Olympia, Washington. Dr. Sprague is also president of the Pacific Northwest Regional of IFCA International.
History is moving, and it will tend toward hope, or tend toward tragedy.

You get the idea. Now, I defy you to come up with *anything* Barack Hussein Obama has said that comes close to the inspiration contained in the quotes above. Have you ever heard Obama say anything positive about America, other than we had the divine, inspired discernment to elect him? I think I'll wear black on Jan. 20 like I did the day after the election. It'll certainly reflect my mood.
Did anyone really doubt that this would happen? Did anyone really think that once the government started handing out money, people (particularly Democrats) would stop asking for it? Is there NO ONE in government who understands the free market system? Or is that the problem...they understand it, and they want this country to stray away from it?
Mark Steyn was filling in for Rush yesterday, and made some great observations. People like him have come to this country to escape the exact kind of society Obama wants to usher in here. As Steyn says, there is nowhere else to go! If the USA goes down the same path as Canada, Great Britain, Scandanavia, etc., where else is there to go? We are the last best hope for liberty, and we are squandering it by electing socialists to lead our country.
I just hope the uninformed masses come to their senses before it's too late to turn it around.
"The 70s -- not just in Eastern Europe, but in Western Europe, Britain and a lot of other places -- were hell. And now all the policies that drove those countries into stagnation and hyper-inflation, President-Elect Obama wants to introduce here." -- Mark Steyn
Tolerance and open-mindedness in the dawning Age of Obama (via Newsmax Insider):
Princeton University physicist Dr. Will Happer, who says he was fired by Vice President Al Gore for failing to adhere to Gore’s views on global warming, has now declared that man-made warming fears are “mistaken.”
Happer, who served as the director of Energy Research at the Department of Energy from 1990 to 1993, said, “I had the privilege of being fired by Al Gore, since I refused to go along with his alarmism. I did not need the job that badly.”
He said in 1993, “I was told that science was not going to intrude on policy."
Now Happer has asked to join the more than six hundred fifty international scientists who have spoken out against man-made global warming fears and are cited in the 2008 U.S. Senate Minority Report from Environmental and Public Works Committee ranking member James Inhofe, R-OK
“I am convinced that the current alarm over carbon dioxide is mistaken,” Happer told the committee on December 22.
President-elect Barack Obama’s choice as his top science adviser, Harvard University professor John Holdren, is a staunch believer in the dangers of man-made global warming and advised Gore on his [crock]umentary An Inconvenient Truth.
Dr. Happer has published over two hundred scientific papers, and is a fellow of the American Physical Society, The American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the National Academy of Sciences.
Senator Inhofe said that the statements of prominent scientists like Happer who are willing to publicly dissent from climate fears strike a blow to the United Nations, Gore, and the media’s claims about global warming.
“The endless claims of a 'consensus' about man-made global warming grow less and less credible every day," Inhofe said.
Happer declared, “I have spent a long research career studying physics that is closely related to the greenhouse effect — for example, absorption and emission of visible and infrared radiation, and fluid flow. Fears about man-made global warming are unwarranted and are not based on good science. Earth's climate is changing now, as it always has. There is no evidence that the changes differ in any qualitative way from those of the past . . .
“Computer models used to generate frightening scenarios from increasing levels of carbon dioxide have scant credibility.”
And yet the global warming Inquisition has seized total power. Will true scientists like Dr. Happer be the Galileos of the twenty-first century? How far down into government-enforced poverty, pestilence, repression, and primitivism will the American public allow themselves to be bulldozed before an economic AND ecological Renaissance finally pokes its way through the pagan bureaucratic murk?
As much as I dislike being negative, I have to agree with this writer's assessment of 2008. Let me hasten to say that personally, 2008 was a good year. My family is healthy, my business is thriving, my home is safe from foreclosure, my job is solid. Politically and patriotically, though, 2008 sucked for the reasons outlined in the article linked.
I'm appalled that we have elected a Congress and a President so at odds with what I thought American values consisted of. We have given absolutely horrid people nearly complete power over us. We don't have simply dishonest people representing us at the highest levels of government, we have *bad* people there. We have people who do not love America, who are not there to serve her interests or their constituents' interest, they are there to serve their party's interests and mostly, their OWN interests. Power and money. Money and power. These are some of the most corrupt people in the country, and we are paying them big bucks to be that way. Look at the dishonesty revealed about Harry Reid. Charles Rangel? Fuhgeddaboudit. Yet look where they are. Unfortunately, they have a dishonest American media to cover for them. How else could this country have elected a neophyte product of Chicago politics, a man with ties to criminals and charlatan hatemongers who dare call themselves "reverend?" Why, you have to dig to find these stories, because they involve Democrats. If they were Republicans, well...you know. I've said it enough in this blog. Now we have Rahm Emmanuel, St. Obama's spankin' new Chief of Staff, embroiled in yet another Democrat scandal. Sure, it's on the news, but is it wall-to-wall like, say, the Mark Foley "scandal?"
All that is just the tip of the iceberg. These are the kinds of people who now have nearly absolute power over our economic and national security. I've said it before and I'll say it again...God help us.
Happy New Year.

Talk about missing the obvious:
President-elect Barack Obama's choice of Rick Warren to deliver the inaugural invocation drew one kind of protest. Whether the evangelical pastor offers the prayer in the name of Jesus may draw another. At George W. Bush's 2001 swearing-in, the Revs. Franklin Graham and Kirbyjon Caldwell were criticized for invoking Christ. The distinctly Christian reference at a national civic event offended some, and even prompted a lawsuit.
Warren did not answer directly when asked whether he would dedicate his prayer to Jesus. In a statement Tuesday to The Associated Press, Warren would say only that, "I'm a Christian pastor so I will pray the only kind of prayer I know how to pray."
"Prayers are not to be sermons, speeches, position statements nor political posturing. They are humble, personal appeals to God," Warren wrote. His spokesman would not elaborate.
Are they pulling our legs? C'mon, folks, Warren isn't going to pray in the name of Jesus Christ; he won't even be praying TO Jesus Christ. Remember who the president-elect is - Warren will be praying to the man on whose behalf he'll be invocating. He'll pray to, and in the name of, Barack The Obama, Bringer of Blight, Weasel of the Tribe of Jeremiah, and then lead everybody on the dais and the entire assembled pagan congregation below in the worship of the New False Messiah, complete with golden statue created just for the occasion, made from all the gold confiscated from the private sector, including fillings and wedding bands seized from Christian evangelicals to be herded into cattle cars and taken away to the Alaska gulag.
"God" will be in the White House now, and "Pastor" Warren won't run the risk of being summarily judged and sent straight to hell.
Although if he did, it might make the DVD worth purchasing - a small miracle in and of itself.
