Republican Post Mortem?

Was Jeremiah Wright's comment prophetic when he said "God D*** America"?  Time will tell.
 
Pundits and experts across the country have been calling this race a referendum on Barack Obama.  It turned out to be a referendum on George Bush.
 
Polsters had this race really tight going into November 4th.  Obama swept McCain away capturing twice as many electoral votes.
 
Obama's acceptance speech was well written and eloquently delivered.  Will he deliver on his promises?
 
There has been an undercurrent of fears that Obama will lead this country in a direction that will further the cause of socialist ideas.  I, myself have commented on this many times and I believe it is true.  It troubles me to see the numbers of young people who embrace this philosophy out of ignorance.  They are the product of an education system that long ago gave up teaching history in favor of Marxist ideology.  How can they know the millions of lives crushed by the weight of Marxism in all its forms?  What bothers me most is their rejection of the liberty bequeathed to them by those who fought for it and died for it.  It seems like such a waste.  On November 4th, 2008, we gave the enemy of democracy a seat at our table.  God help us.
 
In spite of all the sadness of the morning after, the basic principles of conservatism are still legitimate.  The reasons for the democratic rout of republicans are many - the economy, the war in Iraq and to some extent, because republicans abandoned their core principles.  They tried to be like democrats.  Memo to republican leadership: That doesn't work!

Random Thoughts

An effigy of Sarah Palin hangs by the neck from the gable of a house in LA.  The owner of the house calls it "art".  As an artist, I am insulted that someone would consider it "art".  As a Christian, I am appalled that people don't see this "art" for what it really is - hate.
 
Helen Jones-Kelley, director of The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services, used government computers to investigate Samuel Wurzelbacher (Joe the Plumber).  Kelley-Jones is a democrat who has made the maximum allowable contributions to the Obama campaign.  She dismisses claims that her snooping was politically motivated.  Right.  Ask yourself this.  If there were any skeletons in Joe's closet, what do you think would have happened next?  This is just a preview of the the next four years of an Obama administration and how they will treat those with the audacity to challenge his policies.
 
Only a few days left to the most important election of our time.  Obama has raised upwards of three quarters of a billion dollars in campaign contributions.  He's outspent McCain on an average of five to one, ten to one in some markets.  He has celebrity status and the support of nearly all of Hollywood and the so called "global community".  Nearly all of the main stream media backs Obama including the major TV networks and most major newspapers across America.  The vast majority of commentary from these sources has been overwhelmingly positive for Obama and negative for McCain.  Obama spent millions purchasing thirty minutes of airtime to make his well orchistrated pitch to the undecideds.  He has ridden the wave of discontent through the pipeline of crashing markets and the relentless dischord among Bush haters everywhere.  Indeed, Obama has had every conceivable break go his way while McCain has run one of the most inept campaigns in recent memory.  And yet, its still close.  Latest polls indicate the race is within the margin of error.  Its impossible to predict the outcome of this one, but if I were Obama, I'd be concerned.
 
Reuters reports that a video has surfaced of an Al Qaeda leader praying for "the humiliation of Bush and his party".  Its no secret that terrorists everywhere want Obama to win this election.  Why do you suppose that is?  Those who refuse to see this threat for what it is think we can cuddle with them and have dialogue.  The only "dialogue" Jihadists want with you  is their edict that you convert to Islam.  If not, heads will roll.  An Obama win will confirm in their minds Allah's belssing on their mission.

Nashville Nuthouse!

Huh?!  After suffering through the second presidential debate, I'm considering a visit to the psyche ward and demanding a full frontal lobotomy - that is if I can't coax Jack Kevorkian out of retirement.
 
"What don't you know and how will you learn it?"  That was the final question asked via the internet from someone in New Hampshire
who obviously did inhale.  How this question qualified for a national platform in a debate of such magnitude is a mystery to me.  Oh yeah, I forgot, Tom Brokaw decided which questions would be asked.  Once again, the GOP stepped into the trap of allowing the enemy to control the discussion.
 
As Forrest Gump would say: "Stupid is as stupid does."
