AHEAD OF THE CURVE, AGAIN

Posted by Anthony Rizzuto on Tuesday, September 30, 2008 1:51:45 AM
On September 26th I made the point that Barack Obama was using Orwellian tactics to silence his critics, http://torchlight.blogtownhall.com/2008/09/26/be_afraid,_be_very_afraid,_obama_truth_nazis_on_the_march.thtml finally the governor of Mississippi has concured: http://governor.mo.gov/cgi-bin/coranto/viewnews.cgi?id=EkkkVFulkpOzXqGMaj&style=Default+News+Style&tmpl=newsitem.
 
It is time for the main stream media to step up to the plate and give the appaling actions taken by the Obama campaign the coverage they deserve.  All speech, not just conservative speech will be silenced if Senator Obama is elected and allowed to use such "black jacket" polices on a national level.

BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID, OBAMA TRUTH NAZIS ON THE MARCH

Posted by Anthony Rizzuto on Friday, September 26, 2008 5:13:07 PM

The Obama campaign has enlisted law enforcement and prosecutors in the state of Missouri to go after any group who air advertisements or put out statements that in the view of the campaign are misleading or untrue. This my friends is Orwellian. Imagine what this portends should this man be elected to the white house. Anyone with a dissenting view of his policies could be facing jail time or worse. Free speach as we know it will cease to exist. Talk radio, and news stations that lean right will be a thing of the past. If this isn't enough to scare the public into renouncing Senator Obama, I don't know what is. Will Keith Olbermann be heading up this new government agency? Everyone, left, right or center has much to fear.

FRAUD

Posted by Anthony Rizzuto on Thursday, September 25, 2008 12:29:42 AM
Would be president Al Gore, is now encouraging civil disobedience to stop the construction of coal plants that don't have the ability to "store carbon".  This is the same person who makes a point of telling the public that he pays for his "carbon footprint:.  What he doesn't tell us is that he's paying himself.  The company that Gore pays his reparations to is in fact owned by Al Gore.  There are no regulations on this so called industry either.  Nothing to say what the money is to be used for or guidlines of any type.  This is great gig if you can get it.  Gore can be accused of many things but stupidity isn't one of them.  Insincerity and hucksterism come to mind but not stupidity.  The only thing positive to be said had he been elected president is with creative schemes like the ones he's been using to line his pockets perhaps the economy might be in better straits.  On second thought, schemes like this smack of Freddie and Fannie.  One of the many things that make you go hmmmmm.

HE SAID, HE SAID

Posted by Anthony Rizzuto on Tuesday, September 23, 2008 7:11:18 PM
If the 08 campaign is any example of how senators Biden and Obama will work together should they get to the white house then a new definition of the word chaos may be in order.  First we have Joe Biden openly criticizing a campaign ad that any rational person would agree is despicable, http://embeds.blogs.foxnews.com/2008/09/22/biden-calls-obama-attack-ad-terrible/.  In his interview with Katie Couric Biden says, " I didn't know we did it and if I had anything to do with it, we would never have done it."  So is senator Biden openly admitting he has no idea what's going on in his own campaign?  One must wonder if he's going to use the same tactic should his ticket be elected this November.  Just imagine, "I didn't know we were giving aid to Hugo Chavez and if I did we would never have done it."
 
On the other side, we have would be president Barack Obama criticizing John McCain for his decision not to support the bailout of AIG, then later voting for it.  Precisely what Joe Biden had done.  To make matters worse Obama was obviously not aware of his running mates actions and got caught with his pants down in an interview on NBC.  http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/09/obama-on-bidens.html.  This would be funny were it not for the fact that these two "gentlemen" might be running the country.

THIEVES IN THE NIGHT

Posted by Anthony Rizzuto on Tuesday, September 23, 2008 6:44:52 PM
As the rest of America finds itself caught up in the economic meltdown sparked by the crisis in the housing industry, the Democratically controlled congress is looking for ways to attach even more wasteful spending to a stop gap bill that must be passed to keep the nation from grinding to a halt.  The very people who are responsible for this crisis by using Freddie and Fannie as their personal piggy banks are far more concerned with feathering their nest than putting America back on solid financial footing. There are many on the other side of the aisle who share in the blame, but as they have been out of power for the last two years and were not responsible for blocking bills that would have increased oversight of the afore mentioned institutions I will cut them a little slack, not much.  If the people of this country don't get off their collective backsides and throw out the party that promised to bring reform and accountability to the institution they are now plundering, what we are dealing with at the moment will look like a cakewalk if the white house is added to their powerbase come January.

PARDON MY CYNICISM

Posted by Anthony Rizzuto on Friday, September 19, 2008 2:17:24 PM
At a rally today in Coral Gables Florida Barack Obama was interupted by a group of  black protestors claiming to be against his candidacy on the basis that he supports gay marriage.  I have no doubt that there are some in the black community who don't support Mr. Obama for a number of reasons but part of me wonders how much he paid this group to make an appearance.

"DO AS I SAY

Posted by Anthony Rizzuto on Thursday, September 18, 2008 10:33:43 PM
NOT AS I DO".  With so much "low hanging fruit", my job has been made quite easy thanks to Senators Biden and Obama.  As mentioned earlier, "Joltin Joe" admonished those making 250k to suck it up, kick in and do their patriotic duty.  Bend over and ...... em, comes to mind.  You who have earned the most must give the most is their motto, to which I respond, "those who live by the sword, shall die by it."  The article by Bryon York contained in the link below requires no further comment.

"FROM EACH ACCORDING TO HIS ABLILITY, TO EACH ACCORDING TO HIS NEED"

Posted by Anthony Rizzuto on Thursday, September 18, 2008 4:16:28 PM
"The phrase summarizes the principles that, under a communist system, every person should contribute to society to the best of their ability and consume from society in proportion to their needs, regardless of how much they have contributed." Wikipedia.  The modern version of this is "Time for those earning more than 250,000.00 to do their patriotic duty."

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080918/ap_on_el_pr/biden_taxes_3
 
 I am well versed in American history and not once have I seen this philosophy espoused by any of the "founding fathers".  The very concept is anathama to the principles on which this nation was founded.  Generations of American men and women have fought and died to guarantee the right of  "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness", not the right to steal from those who by the fruits of their own labor, enjoy more sucess than yourself.  If you want it, go out and get it with the sweat of your brows.  The only positive thing I can say about the Democratic ticket is that finally they have told us who they are and what they represent.  Citizens all over the Eastern Block gave their lives to tear down the type of system Barack Obama and Joe Biden would foist upon this nation by appealing not to our better angels, but by what God himself has warned man against, the coveting of what belongs to others.
 
As citizens of the last, best, hope of freedom on earth, we owe it to those past to take up the mantle of Reagan, Thatcher and Pope John Paul the second and consign this new version of Communism to "the ash heap of history" where it belongs.

MIKA BRZEZINSKI, SUPER GENIUS

Posted by Anthony Rizzuto on Wednesday, September 17, 2008 10:48:13 AM
"If you're a super intellectual type, Palin’s interview leaves you with more questions than answers. But, if you're an "American" you love her."  Those are the latest "words of wisdom" offered up by "Morning Joe" co-host Mika Brzezinski. So, if I understand her correctly, one cannot be an intellectual and an American? The two are mutually exclusive? Since she clearly didn’t care for Mrs. Palin's interview, Ms. Brezinski must consider herself to be , "a super intellectual type"? That's certainly more shocking than the fact that she doesn't consider herself to be an "American".  It appears the Presidency isn't the only thing Democrats have lowered the bar for.

IT HAS TO BE RACE

Posted by Anthony Rizzuto on Wednesday, September 17, 2008 8:55:18 AM
Obama is so charismatic, so brilliant the only reason he hasn't closed the deal?  His color.  That's what the Governor of Kansas believes.http://iowaindependent.com/5627/sebelius-obamas-race-may-be-a-factor.  It couldn't be that he's a northeast liberal.  That he has less experience than any national candidate running for this office except for perhaps John Kennedy and he's no John Kennedy.  It couldn't be that his views on social issues are to the left of Diane Feinstein and we are still a center right country.  No it has to be his race. After all Americans are nothing but a bunch of gun toting, bible beating rubes who cling to their religion.  They couldn't possibly be open minded enough to consider voting for someone who "doesn't look like them."  Keep going with that line.  Keep insulting the electorate and casting aspersions on their character.  That's the way to win an election.  Just ask John Kerry.

"THE MEDIUM IS THE MESSAGE"

Posted by Anthony Rizzuto on Tuesday, September 16, 2008 12:47:47 PM
 
Marshal McLuhan's "The Medium is the Massage" (misprint by the publisher it was intended to be message) made the case that "the dominant communication media of our time will shape the way humans think, act, and ultimately perceive the world around them." Clearly the press has taken this to heart.  In his article "The Sara Palin Phenomenon Is Doomed" author Jon Friedman comes to the conclusion that simply because the MSM becomes bored with Mrs. Palin and no longer gives her the coverage she's received in the past few weeks, the public as a whole will lose interest.  While this might be true for flash in the pan celebrities such as William Hung of "American Idol" fame, Mr. Freidman fails to take into account that this woman, one of two in history and the first on a Republican ticket, is running for the second highest office in the land during what will be a watershed election.  
 
In an environment where the credibility and popularity of the media at large is threatening to match that of the Democratically controlled congress, Mr. Freidman may have an inflated sense of the power he and his colleagues were once able to yield.  The "new media" has far more influence than the bedrock institutions formerly known as "The Big Three".  This is evidenced by the fact that much of what is reported today emanates from stories that first appeared on blogs, the internet and talk radio.  The latest example is the "Jesus was a community organizer, Pontius Pilate was a governor" phenom that spread from a comment on The Washington Post blog.  The MSM wasted no time picking this up and running with it. Case in point, Tom Brokaw's use of the phrase during his interview with Rudy Giuliani on last Sunday's "Meet The Press".  Today Brokaw and his ilk are followers not leaders.  As long as those of us in the "new media" continue to wag the old dog there will be no shortage of stories about Mrs. Palin and her quest for the Vice Presidency, not that it matters, contrary to Mr. Friedman's strongly held belief, the electorate's memory isn't that weak.

OBAMA'S OCTOBER SURPRISE

Posted by Anthony Rizzuto on Monday, September 15, 2008 6:59:11 PM
 
Congressional Democrats spent millions of dollars on a witch hunt trying to prove that Bush 41 engineered a delay in the release of American hostages in Iran in order to emabarrass sitting president Jimmy Carter.  In the end Bush was exonerated.  Now comes one of their own trying to delay the return of American Troops for his own political gain.
 
 
What further proof does the American electorate need to acknowledge the fact that Mr. Obama's only interest is in attaining power and furthering the interests of his cronies on the left.  Can anyone imagine the cries in the main stream media if a Republican had been linked to such an effort?  To top it off, Obama has the "audacity" to challenge John McCain's honor in his latest political ad.
 
As there is evidence of Mr. Obama's actions I suggest congressional Republicans start an investigation to determine what laws he may have broken, if they have the stomach for it.
 
That would be an October Surprise.

MAKE UP YOUR MINDS

Posted by Anthony Rizzuto on Monday, September 15, 2008 6:20:13 PM
First we heard, "Is Sara Palin up to the challenge of being Vice President and raising a family".  That was the initial shot across the bow.  Now the battle cry is "How dare you push the envelope."  Katty Kay and Claire Shipman in a Wall Street Journal opinion piece bemoan the fact that Palin is trying to have it all when a "majority" of women in this country have decided they no longer do.
 
"What Sarah Palin did not do, however, is put an end to the latest national conversation about "trying to have it all." Because the question we're all asking isn't can she do it, but why is she doing it?" 
 
On yesterday's Chris Matthews Show Ms. Kay raised the concern that if Palin succeeds wouldn't that put increased pressure on "professional" women in the workforce to follow suit? 
 
"Fed up with 50- and 60-hour weeks and a career ladder we didn't build and don't want to climb, women are looking for jobs that demand fewer and freer hours. We want to work but we also want quantity time, as well as quality time, with our children. Most of us no longer buy the onwards-and-upwards drive to the corner office (or in Mrs. Palin's case, the West Wing) at the cost of a fragmented family life."
 
At the risk of sounding sexist may I ask the ladies if they would care for a little more cheese to go with their whine?
 
Ms. Kay and Ms. Shipman want success, but only on their terms.  Don't we all.

HE SAID WHAT?

Posted by Anthony Rizzuto on Monday, September 15, 2008 6:03:37 PM
On a new promo for MSNBC Keith Olbermann, in his best baritone, said the following, "At some point we have to get beyond partisan politics."  Excuse me?  Who was this directed at people in Bora Bora who just got cable and have never seen the network or his show?  This is akin to Jeffrey Dahmer doing an ad for PETA.  If there were ever any doubts concerning the left's view of the intelligence of average Americans this should clear them up.
 
Keith, still trying to sell that bridge in New York buddy?
