Mountains of rock become grains of sand to be once again welded as rock. The cycle is both perpetual and necessary. Likewise ideas must be broken down periodically into their fundamental elements to be reassembled as sound pillars of guidance and virtue. The cycle of men is like that of sand.

E-Racing the Issue…
Lately, in person and by proxy, I have been called a racist for the fact that I will not be supporting for Senator Obama in the 2008 Presidential Election. Interesting! But, do let’s dispense with the issue of race in this Presidential Campaign. It’s really quite easy. What is the fundamental difference between Barack Obama and John Kerry? Really?! Aren’t they exactly the same?
Well, no! John Kerry has been a very active United States Senator for over 15 years. Before that he had a very distinguished Law career. Before that he was a veteran and served in Vietnam. To many, Senator Kerry is a very charismatic figure, with tremendous orator skill. He has been an active , vigorous , and vocal advocate of many issues. It is undeniable that, agree with him or not, John Kerry is a Man of demonstrably strong moral conviction. All that being said, Senator Kerry is one of the most Liberal members of the Senate; third only to Senators Biden and Obama. He and I disagree on nearly every major issue, as is the case with the majority of Americans given the Presidential election of 2008.
I didn’t vote for John Kerry in 2004. The Nation did not elect John Kerry to be President in 2004. So, why should I or the nation change now, and elect Barack Obama in 2008…
…merely because he is black? Sorry! Not going to happen.
Taking prudent note of the profound words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., it’s not the color of a man’s skin with which I take note. As with Kerry, it is the content of his character that has me concerned.
Visions of Die Sturm - The Barack-A-Hack...
Are you curious to know what an Obama Thugocracy would be like? We are witness to a preview now, as Leftist hackers violated the privacy of Sarah Palin's private email accounts. Stealing a variety of personal information including messages, photos, and phone numbers, they offered it for mischievous distribution throughtout the nutroots of the internet. To make matters worse, Mainstream Media venues - rather than reject the looter's bounty - acted on it, published it, and analyzed it as if it were a legitimate public release of information, knowing full well that it was gathered illegally. The Associated Press went so far as to refuse cooperation with a United States Secret Service investigation into the matter.
Now, if watching a horror of this nature unfold against a Vice Presidential Candidate in the 21st Century isn't bone-chilling enough, imagine what it would be like if Obama's Stalinesque Chicagoland Sturmabteilung thugs were to target you and your family. What if they invaded your privacy by crawling like roaches through your most personal correspondence? What if they decided to silence you by attacking your children... scattering their personal cell phone numbers, I.D. and account numbers, photographs, addresses, school and daycare location, and anything else they can find, to the same type of people who fantasize about murder and assasination, and make a hobby of torching homes, cars and businesses. What if altered photos of your adolescent daughter suddenly appeared on pornographic websites? What if your infant child's Social Security number were provided to an identity thief? What if your friends were inundated with inquiries for details about your most intimate exchanges. And what if your son, recently deployed to Iraq, began receiving calls on his private cell phone from anonymous deviants proclaiming him to be a 'baby-killer?' Is that freezing your marrow now? It should. Because this style of politics is not new to Senator Barack Hussein Obama and his Leftist thugs. And if they will do it to a sitting Governor of the largest State in the Union, and a phenomenally popular Vice-Presidential Candidate, even under threat of prosecution by the United States Secret Servive, do you think they would think twice about silencing you in a similar manner?.. or worse?!
Die Sturm operates on many levels as we have seen all too often, but primative violence is the base derivative of their ignorance and hate. Its the fall back tool for the radical Left when the argument is hopelessly lost; fear and coercion being often more powerful than thoughtful persuasion. Clearly losing the arguments at an intellectual level, the thugs that are what is being Left ultimately return back to the method they know best.
Intimidation is certainly not new to American politics. Unfortunately, neither is violence a unique side effect of human disagreement. Even the use of surrogate associates with plausibly deniable connections to conduct the 'dirty' work of a campaign is familiar to everyone. And to be honest, Obama wouldnt be the first political leader in world history to neutralize his political opponents by intimidating, attacking, and destroying their children if necessary. But, to date this degree of reprehensible behavior has not been an acceptable mainstay of American Presidential Campaign politics. The failure of the Mainstream Media so far to seriously investigate this story, much less reject the methodology, would suggest that it is now acceptable and mainstay... at least as fair for what is being Left.
In that respect, one must indeed give Barack Hussein Obama credit. He is the candidate of change...

Hackers Violate Palin, AP Complicit...
Reporting on the story of Obama supporters hacking into Sarah Palin's private email accounts and distributing personal infromation including, messages, addresses, phone numbers, photos, etc on the internet, AP YAHOO uses the opportunity of the violation to further distribute the pilfered information.
Hackers break into Sarah Palin's e-mail account
Here is the money line from their story,
"The Secret Service contacted The Associated Press on Wednesday and asked for copies of the leaked e-mails, which circulated widely on the Internet. The AP did not comply."
Reporter, TED BRIDIS, goes on to report,
"The disclosure Wednesday raises new questions about the propriety of the Palin administration's use of nongovernment e-mail accounts to conduct state business. The practice was revealed months ago — prior to Palin's selection as a vice presidential candidate — after political critics obtained internal e-mails documenting the practice by some aides."
Then he proceeds to analyze the information.
John Hinderacker at Powerline, says it perfectly, "Just another reminder that there is no sense of decency on the Left."
Until the Obama Campaign denounces both the hackers and the Associated Press, demanding that they cooperate with the Secret Service, we must assume they endorse such activity.
Them...
If you had any question about Senator Obama's approach to the issue of National Security as President Barack Hussein Obama, watch his own campaign video... (HT. Macsmind)
Watch it again… and note how they pan the cam ever so slightly to keep him seemingly staring at the audience as he reads the teleprompter. Its really pathetic stage craft. Honestly, I haven’t paid a whole lot of attention to the man and I don’t watch television, so this is the first time I have seen him speaking close up. He really is not very impressive and is rather plastic, imo. And if that is supposedly the extent of his credentials (the great orator), I’ll pass. I've seen better, and I still didn't vote for Senator Kerry. Not to mention the policy positions articulated by Senator Obama surpass the boundary of naïve into the surreal frontier of the absurd.
At least Sarah can see the enemy from her house. Obama can’t see any enemy at all...
...except for George W.Bush, of course.
No thanks!
BTW, could someone in the media, please ask Barack Obama, what and who he means by, "Them?"

The Bush Doctrine (aka. his world view)...
As set forth in his Second Inaugeral Address, President George W. Bush expressed his world view regarding the nature of humanity and the historical significance of the United States of America. It has come to be known by many, as the Bush Doctrine, and this is its fundamental premise...
At this second gathering, our duties are defined not by the words I use, but by the history we have seen together. For a half century, America defended our own freedom by standing watch on distant borders. After the shipwreck of communism came years of relative quiet, years of repose, years of sabbatical - and then there came a day of fire.
We have seen our vulnerability - and we have seen its deepest source. For as long as whole regions of the world simmer in resentment and tyranny - prone to ideologies that feed hatred and excuse murder - violence will gather, and multiply in destructive power, and cross the most defended borders, and raise a mortal threat. There is only one force of history that can break the reign of hatred and resentment, and expose the pretensions of tyrants, and reward the hopes of the decent and tolerant, and that is the force of human freedom.
We are led, by events and common sense, to one conclusion: The survival of liberty in our land increasingly depends on the success of liberty in other lands. The best hope for peace in our world is the expansion of freedom in all the world.
America's vital interests and our deepest beliefs are now one. From the day of our Founding, we have proclaimed that every man and woman on this earth has rights, and dignity, and matchless value, because they bear the image of the Maker of Heaven and earth. Across the generations we have proclaimed the imperative of self-government, because no one is fit to be a master, and no one deserves to be a slave. Advancing these ideals is the mission that created our Nation. It is the honorable achievement of our fathers. Now it is the urgent requirement of our nation's security, and the calling of our time.
So it is the policy of the United States to seek and support the growth of democratic movements and institutions in every nation and culture, with the ultimate goal of ending tyranny in our world.
This is not primarily the task of arms, though we will defend ourselves and our friends by force of arms when necessary. Freedom, by its nature, must be chosen, and defended by citizens, and sustained by the rule of law and the protection of minorities. And when the soul of a nation finally speaks, the institutions that arise may reflect customs and traditions very different from our own. America will not impose our own style of government on the unwilling. Our goal instead is to help others find their own voice, attain their own freedom, and make their own way.
The great objective of ending tyranny is the concentrated work of generations. The difficulty of the task is no excuse for avoiding it. America's influence is not unlimited, but fortunately for the oppressed, America's influence is considerable, and we will use it confidently in freedom's cause.
My most solemn duty is to protect this nation and its people against further attacks and emerging threats. Some have unwisely chosen to test America's resolve, and have found it firm.
We will persistently clarify the choice before every ruler and every nation: The moral choice between oppression, which is always wrong, and freedom, which is eternally right. America will not pretend that jailed dissidents prefer their chains, or that women welcome humiliation and servitude, or that any human being aspires to live at the mercy of bullies.
We will encourage reform in other governments by making clear that success in our relations will require the decent treatment of their own people. America's belief in human dignity will guide our policies, yet rights must be more than the grudging concessions of dictators; they are secured by free dissent and the participation of the governed. In the long run, there is no justice without freedom, and there can be no human rights without human liberty.
Some, I know, have questioned the global appeal of liberty - though this time in history, four decades defined by the swiftest advance of freedom ever seen, is an odd time for doubt. Americans, of all people, should never be surprised by the power of our ideals. Eventually, the call of freedom comes to every mind and every soul. We do not accept the existence of permanent tyranny because we do not accept the possibility of permanent slavery. Liberty will come to those who love it.
Today, America speaks anew to the peoples of the world:
All who live in tyranny and hopelessness can know: the United States will not ignore your oppression, or excuse your oppressors. When you stand for your liberty, we will stand with you.
Democratic reformers facing repression, prison, or exile can know: America sees you for who you are: the future leaders of your free country.
The rulers of outlaw regimes can know that we still believe as Abraham Lincoln did: "Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves; and, under the rule of a just God, cannot long retain it."
The leaders of governments with long habits of control need to know: To serve your people you must learn to trust them. Start on this journey of progress and justice, and America will walk at your side.
And all the allies of the United States can know: we honor your friendship, we rely on your counsel, and we depend on your help. Division among free nations is a primary goal of freedom's enemies. The concerted effort of free nations to promote democracy is a prelude to our enemies' defeat..."
Last night, in her interview on ABC, Vice Presidential Candidate, Sarah Palin, seems to understand it, even in its profound complexity. ABC's, Charlie Gibson, on the other hand should dust off the Cliff notes and read Norman Podhoretz most definitive analysis of the Bush Doctrine, as described in World War IV: The Long Struggle Against Islamofascism.
In what respect, indeed, Charlie? In what respect, indeed?!

September 11th, 2008...
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
It cannot be felled by the actions of butchers,
Nor can it be diminished by the rhetoric of fools!

The Jerk...
Responding to his recent drop in the polls by infering that his VP opponent, Sarah Palin, is "a Pig", Barrack Obama demostrates that not only is he not Presidential, he is little more than an adolescent Jerk.

Palin Versus the Volcano
Like the Waponi's of Woo sans the orange soda, the Mainstream media are feeding a monster that will ultimately immolate them. Dueler makes a good point about Palin versus Biden. And yet its true that Obama's Vice Presidential candidate fails to match up with that of McCain's, its even more significant to note that the Democrat's Presidential choice, despite the modern realties of affirmative action, isn't even in the same league as Sarah Palin.
That being sad, the Left, including the Mainstream Media, must provide their base with the plausible deniability regarding Palin's charisma and credentials. The voter who simply "wants" to cast their ballot for the "black" candidate, yet cannot help but recognize the opposing ticket that represents real leadership, real progress, real change, needs only a shadow of doubt and fictitious scandal to support their surrender to whim.
Sadly, that is what Democracy(and the Democrat Party) has been reduced to in the dawn of the 21st century... Affirmative action sacrificing progress, to preference qua patronage. (editorial correction, 08.04.08.11:56)
The MSM may attempt to sacrifice Palin to their big Woo, but it is they who will be burned...

Biden vs. Palin
Just a quick one:
Barak Obama's choice of Joe Biden is like a 5-year-old reaching back to hold the hand of his "eccentric" uncle before crossing a busy street.
John McCain's choice of Sarah Palin is like a seasoned warrior sizing up an uncertain battle and handing a sword to a younger warrior, saying "Let's face this together."
