America Held Hostage- the Obama Files...

Yes, it's a link to a million other links, because the formatting doesn't translate easily:

America Held Hostage- the Obama Files...
various links ^ | 11-8-08 | The Heavy Equipment Guy

Quoth Me:
I rarely editorialize, preferring to give you links to pursue, quotes from the sources that reflect “what I think you need to know,” and the occasional quip of my own-- but let me drop out of Lurkin' & Linkin' mode for a little moment in time...

This guy's Bad News-- “travelin' like wildfire,” as the song went.

Whether he'll flame out in the crush of day to day governing details, or be another Mussolini dragging his country into a burning Apocalypse is anyone's guess at this point in time, but you had better start paying attention, if you hadn't already.

We had the information here-- Soros and all the other villains and clowns- pretty much before anyone else noticed them lurking in the wings.

But much remains hidden- it's up to us and others to ferret it out and expose it.

Remember one thing- you're watching a Carny Show, and the Rubes numbed by the clamor of Pop Culture, and dumbed by Public Miseducation, don't get it-- yet.

It's up to us, to see that they do,

Carry on...

I laughed at the newspaper cartoon.

Had a good look through the links, did anyone on FR pick up on Obama's toss-away comments about his being "a mutt?" He was talking about the kind of dog they might get for the White House.

I have the feeling he has bi-polar disorder, not a very good thing for a guy with a nuclear button in his office.

I thank you for looking.

Seeing as "the one" is planning to decimate our nuclear ( and conventional-- got to get Mo' Money to pour in to the 21st century equivalent of MidNite Basketball, ya' know... ) forces, I guess his mad hand on the nuclear football may not matter so much.

Except when we become the recipient of one of those rogue nukes in the hands of mad dictators...

This reminds me of Rush's "America Held Hostage" bit he did back when Clinton got in.

Going by that formula, by Jan 1st:

Day 1 for the Poor and Middle Class
Day 0 for the Rich and the Dead

1461 Days Remaining

I must not have hit "post" a while back... I thought I'd replied!

Yes, I borrowed from Rush ( if the #$!&! site would come back, you'd see that attribution ) in the hopes some would remember it. It's the old ad man in me-- if you can hitch what you're peddling to someone else's meme, so much the better.

I may try to see if I can reformat the FR post to translate here without turning in to gibberish- it had lots of "good stuff" in it.

[backhoe]

Well, I tried reformatting the file I have, and 23 pages is just too much to recode by hand-- about half the links and graphics don't come thru.<P>Here is the front page:<P>
<P>
<CENTER><B>America Held Hostage- the Obama Files...</CENTER></B>
<P>With a hattip <IMG src="http://home.granderiver.net/~capnjim/fun/tiphat.gif">
to Rush ( His idea during the Clinton plague upon America ) I am starting a file
on “The One,” mostly starting from the election date.
<P>Older stuff- links, quotes, quips, and sometimes pointed graphics can be
found by scrolling back from these two posts:
<P><A href="http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1035840/posts">-Hillary
Clinton- archives, comments, and opposition research--</A>
<P><A href="http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2071261/posts">-Sarah
Palin- links, from the beginning--</A>
<P>There is some good material in those posts that raises a lot of uncomfortable
questions that everyone ought to be asking, and probably will once the “new”
wears off, and we are stuck with four ( more likely eight, since 95% of the news
&amp; entertainment media are in his pocket ) years of a typical corrupt Chicago
Political Machine Politician trying to jerk the whole country in one direction
and then the next.
<P>You've all heard the saying,
<P>”People get the kind of government they want...<BR>...and deserve?”
<P>Well, America, you are about to “get it, good &amp; hard...”
<P>Don't say you weren't warned- we tried to tell you...
<P>We did everything we could, and our state went for the Old Guy &amp; the
Naughty Librarian, but too many other voters were made stupid by the TV and
public schools for it to matter.
<P>We're in a Hell of a mess, and the worst thing is, "we"- the collective we,
not you & I-- got us here.
<P>Is Obama really the Abyss...</P>
<P>staring back at us? </P>
<P>I like to make points with humorous graphics- this one sums it up as well as
any:

Peter, we can hope, but with the Ophra-rization of the masses, and considering what the public schools are producing ( and always needing more tax money to do it ) I can't say I very optimistic.

Oh, well-- I've a got a wife & two dogs to see about feeding- as I always say

Oh, the Devil take it- here it is, just ignore the the Em's and &'s... at least the links & graphic now work:

<p>Looks like the change.gov site is true to it's title - it changes! <br>
<br>During the time when I was looking at the blog you linked to concerned mandatory community service the change.gov page saying "require community service" <a href="http://change.gov/americaserves/">changed to</a> goal for community service. The new wording is:<br>
<br>"..... Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by setting a goal that all middle school and high school students do 50 hours of community service a year and by developing a plan so that all college students who conduct 100 hours of community service receive a universal and fully refundable tax credit ensuring that the first $4,000 of their college education is completely free."<br>

<br>Looks like they caught their "mistake". Now will the real plan please step forward -- goal or required. (Although the way government sets goals, they often wind up looking like requirements so maybe the two aren't all that different.)<br>

<blockquote>
<p><I>“The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country.” </I>Lincoln’s Second Annual Message to Congress, December 1, 1862.</p></blockquote>
<p>I would love nothing better than to be able to stop writing about “left” and “right.” I wish we had a better vocabulary to describe our distinctions, because these words are limiting and off-putting. I am determined, with the merciful conclusion of this abusively long election season, to work diligently at spending less time entertaining these distinctions. But for today, I think it is only fair to note a very <I>important</I> and glaring difference between “left and right” - and in so doing - consider how we may, finally, stop needing to indulge in what is tedious.<br><strong><br>Victor Davis Hanson</strong> says <a href="http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/how-to-criticize-our-next-president/">Let’s not imitate the left</a> in our opposition. I agree.</p><p><strong>It has been wonderful - really beyond wonderful</strong> - to consider <a href="http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/how-the-rightosphere-is-coping-with-defeat/">how differently most of the right has reacted to their defeat</a> than the left did in 2000 and 2004. In the two previous elections, the left responded by calling the other half of the country “stupid,” “morons,” and “Nazis” - Jane Smiley called them <a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2109218/">“unteachably ignorant”</a> - they indulged in high drama, sniffling “apologies” to the globe, and denunciations of their fellow countrymen as “lying between repugnant and reptile in the dictionary.”</p><p>And oh, yeah (eyeroll) George W. Bush was not “their” president. </p><p>While you’ll see a few disgruntled extremists on the right say foolish, even ignorant things - and many throwing daggers at the <a href="http://newsbusters.org/blogs/mark-finkelstein/2008/11/06/odd-job-matthews-says-his-role-make-obama-presidency-success">sickening double-standards of the press</a> - they’re not indulging in that sort of dehumanizing (and very adolescent) hate of their fellow countrymen or the president-elect. The reports they’re filing <a href="http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/what-i-saw-at-the-obama-revolution/">read very differently</a> than those following the Bush wins. They read as grown-up, tolerant, open-minded discourses, not tantrums. There is a willingness to be hopeful, even in defeat.</p><p><strong>And there is a determined respectfulness being offered to the winners</strong> - people who could not manage maturity and respectfulness in their defeat and who, sadly, are not always managing it in their victory, either.</p><p>I’m hopeful that the left - if it takes the time to actually condescend <a href="http://wizbangblog.com/content/2008/11/06/a-good-sign-for-a-smooth-transition.php">to notice how well it is being treated by the vanquished</a> - might consider that self-indulgent defamation is <I>the lesser way</I>; that such a consideration may inspire introspection, and perhaps the smallest bit of regret for some of their appalling excesses toward the right and toward the American President who did not return hate in-kind.</p><p>I’m hopeful. I’m an optimist. I KNOW that the folks on the right - for all of their faults, and both sides certainly have faults - want America to be successful and strong and exceptional and free. I’m hopeful that hugely empowered left will discover that - beyond the feel-goodism of “free social programs” which are never free -<I>they actually, really do want all of those things, too</I>. That they’ll look back on the last 8 years and realize, finally, that <I>their enemy was never George W. Bush</I>. Bush, the guy who never dehumanized them, was only trying serve those corny ideals.</p><p>And then, miraculously, we may actually have unity.</p><p>Some similar thinking from <a href="http://theanchoressonline.com/2008/05/09/answers-questions-again/">my girl crush</a>, <a href="http://edition.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/11/05/angry.mccain.supporters/index.html?eref=edition">Donna Brazile</a>: </p><blockquote>

<p>“The one mistake that we continue to make is that we label people. We say you’re conservatives, liberal, progressive, right wing, left wing. I think people just want to spend one day being Americans. They want to come together around a common purpose, common values.” </p></blockquote>
<p><strong>I wondered the other day if the catharsis of this election</strong> might open up “a vein of generosity” (or at least decency) from the left as concerns President Bush. I have not seen it yet, but I’m going to be optimistic and keep looking.</p><p>But maybe it’s enough just to see a little appreciation <a href="http://taoist.wordpress.com/2008/11/05/ill-stand-by-this/">from the right</a>, to start. Like <a href="http://theanchoressonline.com/2008/11/05/thank-you-president-bush/">this</a>, for instance:</p><p><a href="http://ithinkthereforeierr.wordpress.com/2008/11/06/i-love-george-w-bush-day/">I link, therefore, I Err</a> has a little mini-round-up of appreciation for George W. Bush. You’ll want to read it all. </p><p>From Alppuccino at <a href="http://proteinwisdom.com/?p=13603">Protein Wisdom</a>: </p><blockquote>

<p>At 10:40, President Bush will keep his streak alive by telling everyone how much he loves America. Just as he always has. And he’ll show everyone how much he loves America by preparing Obama as best he can for the next 4 years.</p></blockquote>
<p>Read it all; it’s doubtful that Obama’s team will come into the White House finding O’s missing from their keyboards, any rude messages greeting them. And that is how it should be in America, <I>a respectful transition</I>.</p><p><a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/11/04/AR2008110403818.html">Michael Gerson</a>:</p><blockquote>
<p>Many liberals refuse to concede Bush’s humanity, much less his achievements.</p><p>But that humanity is precisely what I will remember. I have seen President Bush show more loyalty than he has been given, more generosity than he has received. I have seen his buoyancy under the weight of malice and his forgiveness of faithless friends. Again and again, I have seen the natural tug of his pride swiftly overcome by a deeper decency — a decency that is privately engaging and publicly consequential.</p><p>[In 2005]…the White House senior staff overwhelmingly opposed a new initiative to fight malaria in Africa for reasons of cost and ideology…In the crucial policy meeting, one person supported it: the president of the United States, shutting off debate with a moral certitude that others have criticized. I saw how this moral framework led him to an immediate identification with the dying African child, the Chinese dissident, the Sudanese former slave, the Burmese women’s advocate. It is one reason I will never be cynical about government — or about President Bush. </p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122584386627599251.html">Jeffery Scott Shapiro</a>:</p><blockquote>

<p>[The treatment of President Bush] from this country is nothing less than a disgrace. The attacks launched against him have been cruel and slanderous, proving to the world what little character and resolve we have…Our failure to stand by the one person who continued to stand by us has not gone unnoticed by our enemies. It has shown to the world how disloyal we can be when our president needed loyalty — a shameful display of arrogance and weakness that will haunt this nation long after Mr. Bush has left the White House.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Until we fix, within ourselves, our enthrallment with hate for others</strong>, simply because they hold differing views, we’ll never pull it together. In 2006 we watched a right-wing blogger be called <a href="http://theanchoressonline.com/2006/07/08/you-are-not-human-to-me/">less than human</a> by a left-wing reader. We’ve seen President Bush being referred to as “the chimp” and “the monkey” by the wits who insisted that ideology trumped having a decent respect for another’s humanity. I wrote about that a little <a href="http://pajamasmedia.com/blog/lets-debate-not-dehumanize/">here</a>:</p><blockquote>
<p>Thus, George W. Bush is “Chimpy McHitler.” Hillary Clinton is “a pig in a pantsuit.” Barack Obama is “O-Bambi.” Cindy McCain, who has exhibited some courage and laudable compassion in her life, is reduced to a “pill-popping beer-frau,” and so forth. From there it is smooth sailing down an ever-descending river of hatred, until we are incapable of seeing anything good in the “other,” both because we have willfully hardened our hearts, and because our hate — especially when it is supported by a group of like minds — feels safe and inviolable.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>With that in mind, you’ll want to read</strong> <a href="http://www.conversiondiary.com/2008/11/how-would-you-know.html">this excellent piece</a> over at Conversion Diary, wherein Jenifer ponders pictures from a Nazi-era photo album and wonders, how such common-variety people managed to support and enable such profound evil.</p><blockquote>

<p>One thing that stands out in all these examples is that the victims of the widespread evil were categorized as something less than human…not only that innocent people were killed or enslaved, but that their humanity was taken away by the societies around them…So here is the advice I would offer to my children, and to my children’s children:</p><p>Every decade or so, take a look around the society in which you live, and ask yourself if there is any group of human beings who are seen as something less than human. A big tipoff is if dehumanizing words — terms other than “man,” “woman,” “child,” “baby,” or “person” — are used to describe any category of people.</p><p>And if you ever see that going on, you might be in the midst of something gravely evil.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Dehumanizing people begins with baby-steps like name-calling</strong>, or the sort of intellectual dishonesty that delights in deliberately twisting the meaning of others in negative and misrepresentative ways. Those are the little gateways to the great evils that come once you’ve managed to thoroughly de-humanize others.</p><p>We’ve had 8 years - I’d say 12, really - of people demonizing and dehumanizing others, from both sides, and it is not getting us anyplace good. I believe that the response of most of the right to Obama’s victory is a step toward changing that. But the left has to do their part, too.</p><p>Pope Benedict XVI said, <I>“those who hope live differently.”</I> The election of Barack Obama was borne on this word, “Hope.” </p><p>If the people who voted for “hope” were sincere, then let them begin, today, to embrace it - and to live differently - without the kneejerk move to hate “the other side.” The right, responding levelly to their defeat, has offered the opening. Will the left take it?</p><p><strong>UPDATE:</strong> Seems some will. Here is mostly accurate, and apprecited <a href="http://tpmcafe.talkingpointsmemo.com/2008/11/06/the_election_of_the_first_blac/">praise from a surprising quarter</a>: </p><blockquote>

<p>Would America have elected Barack Obama if white Americans had not gotten accustomed to seeing (in succession) two African-American Secretaries of State? I don’t think so. Before Bush, African-Americans were appointed to some good posts but not to our #1 foreign policy job. Two African Americans (one with a pretty odd first name) served as America’s face to the world. That eased Obama’s way. It is not Tiger Woods in whose footsteps Obama is walking — it’s Rice and Powell….Fact is, “W” never gave any evidence of holding racist attitudes…even just the slur the occasionally slips out of the mouth of even our most liberal leaders.</p><p>Same with Arabs and Muslims…Bush, after 9/11, never resorted to anti-Arab or Muslim stereotypes. He drew distinctions between terrorists and Arabs…Had he not done these things, Arabs and Muslims might have experienced not just hate crimes but pogroms.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Meanwhile,</strong> from <a href="http://grandrants.wordpress.com/2008/11/06/heartfelt-gratitude/">Grand Rants</a>: </p><blockquote>
<p>Here is a man who is regularly compared to Hitler in casual conversation in Leftist circles high and low. His honor has been regularly impugned, his intelligence (or, as the press loves to put it, his “intellectual curiousity”) constantly demeaned, his verbal stumblings consistently mocked, and his accomplishments in office discounted or ignored. He is a man who kept his head down and did his job, despite the slings and arrows hurled at him by fortune made all the more outrageous by nearly the entire Democratic party.</p><p>I for one, would like to say thank you to Pres. Bush. For keeping us safe. For watching out for us. For persevering in spite of all the spite. I believe history will ultimately judge you as one of America’s best presidents, and I believe you deserve that judgement.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>H/T to <a href="http://opinionatedcatholic.blogspot.com/2008/11/president-bush-friend-to-catholics-till.html">Opinionated Catholic</a>,</strong> who writes: </p><blockquote>

<p>The throwing under the bus of the President by even his friends and indeed the base has been shocking to me. Many groups will find out soon enough how they took Bush’s support and advocacy for them for granted, Catholics, especially.</p></blockquote>

Reading about the joy expressed by Hamas and Syria and Italy and Indonesia… contemplating Obama’s Secretary of State, or (God help us) Defense… Thinking about the USA becoming just like Sweden, only with a real army, and aircraft carriers, and nukes… First Lady Michelle…<br>
<br>It’s all too depressing.<br>

<br>So, as is my habit in such circumstances, instead of writing a post this evening or doing something else useful, I created yet another iconic image of The One. After looking around at some of his existing halos, I decided to make one myself. A man can’t have too many halos, right?<br>
<br>And then I pondered the phenomenon of halos appearing behind the heads of great national leaders, men who are born into modest Muslim circumstances, but in time become presidents of large countries that have nuclear weapons. It made me think of…<br><span class="fullpost">- - - <a name="readfurther">-</a> - - - - -<br><img alt="Mad Jad’s Halo" src="http://chromatism.net/current/images/halo.jpg" align="right" border="0" vspace="5" hspace="8">Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.<br>
<br>Ol’ Mad Jad got his halo when he went to visit the UN a couple of years ago. It appeared behind his head while he was speaking. Not only that, his audience was held in such rapt attention by his words that they were unable to blink for thirty minutes. We know all this is true because he told us so.<br>
<br>I wonder how many other resemblances there are between him and Barack Hussein Obama.<br>

<br>Ahmadinejad sees himself as preparing the way for the Twelfth Imam, as a sort of satanic John the Baptist for the man who is prophesied to return and usher in the apocalypse preceding the establishment of the permanent reign of Islam over the entire world.<br>
<br>And Obama’s got a bigger halo.<br>
<br>Does that mean…? Nah — it couldn’t be… But still… It makes me wonder…<br>
<br>What if the One were also the Twelfth?<br>

Oh, for heaven's sake, calm down people. Your guy lost, because he ran a boneheaded campaign. That's not Obama's fault.

You see these hacks who are now backstabbing your hero Sarah Palin? THOSE are the people that John McCain thought would be good for his campaign, the people he was probably planning to bring with him to the White House. What the hell does that say about HIS judgement?
