A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations from the beginning of history has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:

From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage.

Three blocks from the White House, on the 10th floor of a sleek glass building, young workers pound at computers, with giant flat-screen TVs overhead. It has the look and feel of a high-tech startup.

In many ways it is. The product is ideas.

Thanks in part to funding from benefactors such as billionaire George Soros, the Center for American Progress has become in just five years an intellectual wellspring for Democratic policy proposals, including many that are shaping the agenda of the new Obama administration.

A left-leaning San Francisco radio host who doubles as a columnist for the Huffington Post has been dismissed from his broadcast job for an expletive-laden, on-air diatribe in which he called for the death of “Joe the Plumber.”

On his own website, Charles Raymond Bouley Jr., more popularly known as Karel, confirmed he was fired from his weekend KGO radio show for the rant, which happened when he thought he was off the air.

“With a two-minute phone call and one-paragraph letter I have been fired from KGO. I’m told the engineer that made the mistake has been as well,” he wrote.

The target of Bouley’s venom was Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, who became known during the presidential campaign as Joe the Plumber after his videotaped exchange with Barack Obama. Wurzelbacher’s objection to Obama’s desire to “spread the wealth,” calling it socialism, became a major theme for the McCain campaign in its final weeks.

Over the weekend President-elect Barack Obama scrubbed Change.gov, his transition Web site, deleting most of what had been a massive agenda copied directly from his campaign Web site.

Gone are the promises on how an Obama administration would handle 25 different agenda items - everything from Iraq and immigration to taxes and urban policy - all items laid out on his campaign Web site, http://www.BarackObama.com.

A little traveling music maestro! Let the tap dancing begin.

From the agenda section on his change.gov web site.

President-Elect Obama and Vice President-Elect Biden have developed innovative approaches to challenge the status quo in Washington and to bring about the kind of change America needs.

The Obama Administration has a comprehensive and detailed agenda to carry out its policies. The principal priorities of the Obama Administration include: a plan to revive the economy, to fix our health care, education, and social security systems, to define a clear path to energy independence, to end the war in Iraq responsibly and finish our mission in Afghanistan, and to work with our allies to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, among many other domestic and foreign policy objectives.

Thats it...thats his whole new agenda. Not updating......or..... making changes.....or.....thinking about something new. Just the above statement. Hold on to your seat. This is going to be like Disney’s “Mr. Toads wild ride”........

It’s a dreary day to be a Republican. Barack Obama is president-elect, we lost a couple of Senate seats and every liberal in the land is talking about the death of conservatism.

Except, conservatism isn’t dead. It’s not even on life support. It remains the only way to be elected in the United States.

Don’t believe me? Look at the Barack Obama campaign.

For the last two months, Obama had been all tax cuts all the time. Since the moment the financial crisis hit the mainstream, Obama has been touting his tax cuts and telling us how much more we’d be paying in taxes under McCain. I haven’t heard much at all about Obama’s promised healthplan, maybe because his campaign finally started crunching the numbers and realized tax cuts and health benefits for all don’t tend to go hand in hand........

The day after the cliffhanger 2000 election, I was on a subway to work in the morning when I overheard two people talking about whom they had voted for the day before. As this was NYC, both had voted for Al Gore and were busy congratulating themselves for their choice. “Yeah, I couldn’t vote for Bush because he was for the death penalty.” I did what I would never do today, I interjected that Gore was also for the death penalty. I was met with blank stares. Barack Obama too is for the death penalty. Have liberals rethought their opposition to state-sanctioned death? Or do they just not care as long as the guy has a (D) after his name?

What about gay marriage? I remember when this was the issue for so many liberals gay and straight. Do liberals still want equality for all? Obama opposes gay marriage. How come they don’t care?

Gay marriage was also defeated in California yesterday, despite the state having gone heavily for Obama. Where is the liberalism for which the left coast is known?

For all of his blowing smoke up the butts of the American people. He got elected by turning towards conservatism. If he now turns away from what he has committed to, the American people will turn on him like they did Jimmy Carter.

The New York Times Co. reported a steep drop in third-quarter profits on Thursday, the latest gloomy earnings report in an industry battered by online competition and falling print advertising revenue.
The New York Times Co. said net profit fell by 51.4 percent in the third quarter to 6.5 million dollars, or five cents per share, from 13.4 million dollars, or nine cents per share, in the same period a year ago.

The company, which owns About.com, The Boston Globe, International Herald Tribune and 16 other daily newspapers besides the flagship The New York Times, said overall advertising revenue fell by 14.4 percent during the quarter.

I’m sure they think it’s because of the economy their ad revenues went down. Yet, their decline has been going on for the past few years. Along with most newspapers that have turned radically to the left.

On December 21, 1997, Barack Obama wrote a short review of William Ayers’ book A Kind and Just Parent: The Children of Juvenile Court, which had recently been published by Beacon Press. Here’s a photo of how the review appeared in the Chicago Tribune

The picture and more of the story at Zombie’s website listed here http://www.zombietime.com/zomblog/?p=64 Check out the work Zombie did to get this information. He went to the S.F. library and dug through the stacks to collect this data. Things the MSM use to do on all candidates. Now they only go after people that make them or the Annointed one look foolish.
I still can’t get over how the MSM are just ignoring the flaws in this man. Watching the MSM during this election is like watching the Wizard of OZ movie when they go to see the Wizard (played by Obama). Dorothy (The MSM), Tin Man (Soros), Scarecrow (Pelosi) and of course the Cowardly Lion (Biden) watch as ToTo (played very convincingly by Harry Reid) pulls the curtain back and exposes the wizard for what he really is. Just your average lying, cheating, carny shill. As the wizard is exposed he states over and over again. Ignore that man behind the curtain.......Wow....just like real life. Amazing how Hollywood can sometimes tell the future.
