Black Conservatives: Obama Endangers County

Bulletin Regarding Gov. Sarah Palin (who always puts her hand on her heart when the National Anthem plays):

First, the founder of Race42008.com, Kavon W. Nikrad, has backed Gov. Palin for VP. This is one of our biggest endorsements yet, and you can read why I think it is important on the blog. Second, several supporters have emailed to tell me that, according to CNN, the Governor will be featured on Monday's Glenn Beck TV program (7-9 PM EST on CNN Headline News). Details have not yet been posted, and I have received several differing tips; so I don't know that exact nature or subject matter of the feature (I'm hoping it includes an interview). I will post details on the blog if and when I find out more. Otherwise, just be sure to tune into Glenn Beck tomorrow night.-- Adam Brickley Founder, "Draft Sarah Palin for Vice President"palinforvp.blogspot.com

"Barack, tell us how you really feel." (Barack Obama, Bill Richardson, Hillary Clinton, and Mrs. Tom Harkin in Iowa)

"Obama plans to gut U.S. defenses."

If you want to know what's going on in the continuing debate over America's future, it's a good idea to avoid the national media, which -- on the whole -- remains as clueless as ever. Recently, some of the Black Conservatives (Yahoo Group) have been condemning Barack Obama's weakness when it come to defending America from its enemies. Frankly, Obama doesn't seem to recognize that the U.S. has enemies. Here are recent comments and links from Black Conservatives "Westloop" and "GhostPuppy911."

westloop@yahoo.com said the following:

In 2007, Barack Obama spoke before the Caucus for Priorities, which proposes re-routing defense spending to social causes.

He promised, "As president, I will end misguided defense policies and stand withCaucus for Priorities in fighting special interests in Washington. First, I'll stop spending $9 billion a month in Iraq. I'm the onl major candidate who opposed this war from the beginning -- and as president, I will end it.

"Second, I will cut tens of billions of dollars in wasteful spending.I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems. I will not weaponize space. I will slow our development of future combat systems, and I will institute an independent defense priorities board to ensure that the Quadrennial Defense Review is not used to justify unnecessary spending.

"Third, I will set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons. To seek that goal, I will not develop new nuclear weapons; I will seek a global ban on the production of fissile material, and I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBMs off hair-trigger alert and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenals. You know where I stand."

In other words, Obama plans to gut US defenses. If the US ceases to defend itself, it will soon be overwhelmed; then who else would step-up to defend the world against Totalitarianism? France?

In the previous day's column, you can read "The Case for John McCain"

I know that today John McCain denounced the Cincinnatti talk show host who spoke of Obama as "Barack Hussein Obama" and described him "a Chicago political hack . . . out of the Daley machine." I know that the media generally think it's unfair to criticize Obama, but I don't have a problem with the talk show man.

Obama's name is in fact "Barack Hussein Obama." If he doesn't like his name, he can always change it. As far as his being a product of the Daley political macine, that happens to be true. In the Illinois Senate, he voted "present" 130 times, often on controversial issues. If that's not the behavior of a hack, I don't know what is.

The national media's "love affair with Obama," whom many of them call a "rock star," will continue. It will be up to the new media, including this blog, to present a more balanced view of the real nature of Barack Hussein Obama.

Do Barack and Michelle Obama Love Their Country?

If Not, Why Not?

Here's an excerpt from an AP story last week:

"Michelle Obama told an audience in Milwaukee, 'For the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country. Not just because Barack is doing well, but I think people are hungry for change.'"

"Cindy McCain, McCain's wife, days later responded by saying, 'I have, and always will be, proud of my country.' Barack Obama has expressed frustration that his wife's remarks had been taken out of context and turned into political fodder — both the Obamas say she was talking about politics in the United States, not the country itself."

My views: Michelle Obama has an undegraduate degree from Princeton University and a law degree from Harvard University. Presumably, she know the distinction between the word "politics" and the word "country." If she didn't mean she has previously disliked or despised her country, she should have made that clear. Her "clarification" of her remarks was full of the same rhetorical fuzziness that her husband has cultivated to an art form.

The lesson too many students at schools like Princeton and Harvard learn is that they should be embarrassed by their country because of its great strength and the opportunity it provides for many people -- including the Obamas -- to become wealthy. It is a great country, Barack and Michelle, and you both need to get to know it better.

Murtha, Ugh! Heather Wilson, Wow!

Tonight by midnight -- and just about every night thereafter at the same time -- I'll have a new post. It's title will be: Johnstown, PA: Murtha's Rancid Bacon." Don't miss it.

If you haven't done so, please take a look at the column below: "Murtha: The Most-Hated Congressman." For a congressman to earn real hatred is, I guess, a significant achievement.

All columns on this new blog will be up by midnight and will be available at the same hour seven days a week. If you like to read at 8 a.m. (or later in the day), you'll see a new column each day -- every day.

The next column (up about midnight on Dec. 5) will be on the dismal economics of the 12th district, with emphasis on how Murtha's "bringing home the bacon" is an illusion. The next column will emphasize how taking off the gloves is critical in defeating Murtha. The concepts discussed will be relevant to many other campaigns in the nation.

A column later this week will discuss Sun-Tzu's "Art of War" and how it's applicable to tough campaigns like the one William T. Russell is waging against Murtha. I'm very interested in your comments on what I say.

Let me be immodest for a moment: I am an expert on campaigning against John Murtha. I know how to do it, and I'm looking forward to sharing my experience and insights about how to overcome this cynical bully.

______________________________

Today, I got a call from "Ann" in Congresswoman Heather's Wilson Albuquerque, NM, campaign office. Heather Wilson is running for the U.S. Senate seat vacated by long-term Senator Pete Domenici. A graduate of the Air Force Academy, she's the only female veteran ever elected to Congress.

If you're thinking of running to the Wikipedia article for information on Heather Wilson, don't. It's a hatchet job apparently written by Moveon.Org hate-mongers. (If you do read the "Wik" article, also read the footnotes, whcih establish that the article is baloney.)

Heather Wilson, an "Anglo," represents a district that's 43% Hispanic. Her last two campaigns were against strong Hispanic candidates, but after being written in both races, she won each time. She is a ferocious campaigner and a great fund-raiser.

The call I received today from Wilson headquarters was a pleasant thank-you for my modest contribution to the campaign. Apparently, they call everyone who contributes, and that's an idea other candidate such emulate. My guess is that Heather will get 10,000-plus individual contributions before the primary, and her staff will call everyone who donates. They obviously understand that a donation of, say, $20 is a sacrifice for many people.

For every Republican -- moderate or conservative -- it's absolutely essential that Heather get elected to the Senate. She's exactly the kind of person of extraordinary character and intelligence that we need in congress. She's an expert on foreign policy, especially as it relates to the Middle East. Oh, and by the way, she was a Rhodes Scholar.

The Democrats despise Heather. They dislike her because she's such an exceptional person, especially compared to their own limp candidates who pander to every interest group imaginable.

I told Heather's representative, also named "Heather" (Wade) that I wanted to do my own style of Internet politics for Congresswoman Wilson, Particularly, I want the same veterans groups now massing behind the candidacy of Lt. Col. William Russell (against Murtha) to support Congresswoman Wilson. I'm asking Bev Perlson, founder of TheBandof Mothers, to get her group behind Wilson.

After Wilson wins the primary -- which she will, even though she's facing a strong Republican opponent (Steve Pearce) -- her competition for the Senate seat probably will be Gov. Bill Richardson. To win, Wilson needs to "nationalize" her campaign, that is, make it a national crusade. I can help her on that, and so can you.

If she can get, say, 500-600 serious bloggers supporting her effort, that could mean many thousands of votes going her way. It would also ensure that she gets a lot of contributors from around the country. (Check out Mike Huckabee's list of bloggers, which is now up to about 400. They're a major reason why he's now leading in Iowa).

I'm proud to support Heather Wilson. You'll hear a lot more about her on this site.

(Note: Please read the piece below about "Mr. Bullying and Blustering," Jack Murtha. I assure you, he's no "Heather Wilson.")
