Obama Worldview: Government - not Family - helps Family

From Powerline today:

Yesterday Glenn Reynolds made the rounds in his usual style, spotlighting an interesting story and related posts on Barack Obama’s aunt Zeituni Onyango (I’ve deleted the “update” notations):

MAYBE SOMEBODY SHOULD SPREAD SOME WEALTH AROUND IN HIS OWN FAMILY: Obama Aunt Found in Rundown Boston Slum.

Zeituni Onyango, the aunt so affectionately described in Mr Obama’s best-selling memoir Dreams from My Father, lives in a disabled-access flat on a rundown public housing estate in South Boston.

A second relative believed to be the long-lost “Uncle Omar” described in the book was beaten by armed robbers with a “sawed-off rifle” while working in[…]

If It Redistributes Like a Duck

If It Redistributes Like a Duck…
By David Harsanyi

Barack Obama is going to fix the economy by “spreading the wealth around”?

Now, I’m not attempting to demonize Obama, God forbid. It’s just that, as we all know, that’s what Obama told Joe the Plumber.

Obama laughs off the charge of socialist behavior — and to be fair, socialism isn’t the precise term to affix to his ideas. It’s more like Robin Hood economics. On a recent campaign stop, Obama joked that by the end of the week, McCain would be accusing him “of being a secret communist because I shared my toys in[…]

Obama: Affirmative Action meets the Peter Principle

Affirmative Action, begun by President Richard M Nixon (R) gives a “boost” to people of color who have not (cannot, did not, could not, were not allowed to….) been able to demonstrate that they otherwise were objectively qualified to be admitted to, get the contract, join the fraternity, etc. “[A]ffirmative action involves giving preferential treatment to these underrepresented groups” (Hopwood v. Texas)

The Peter Principle, first documented in the book of the same name is the principle that, “in a Hierarchy Every Employee Tends to Rise to His Level of Incompetence.”

In the Obama campaign, very much the meeting of the two, we[…]

The Conservative Case for Abortion

Little question exists that the Roe v Wade decision of 1973 ignited a cultural firestorm that rages today, 35 years later, and that shows no sign of being extinguished.

The issue of abortion so polarizes voters that many who otherwise might support Republicans in Foreign Affairs, Defense, Education, Free Markets, Taxes and the Economy, will never vote Republican. This is especially true for young voters, the future of the country.

Democrats demand the freedom to have an abortion throughout a pregnancy – even up to the moment of birth. Cultural Conservatives want Roe overturned, and for abortion to be illegal or very close[…]

Once It’s Done - It’s Done — WSJ Today

The True Meaning of ‘Historic Vote’
Shifting America’s animating idea from creation to protection.
Daniel Henninger 30 October 2008

The most basic explanation for why Barack Obama may win next Tuesday is that voters want economic deliverance. The standard fix for this in politics everywhere is to crowbar the old party out and patch in the other one. It is true as well that the historic nature of the nation’s first African-American candidacy would play a big role.

Push past the historic candidacy, however, and one sees something even larger at stake in this vote. One sees what Joe (The Plumber) Wurzelbacher saw.[…]

Obama in Deep ACORN

John Fund, a WS Journal reporter, also is the author of Stealing Elections, a thorough look at vote and voter fraud on both sides of the aisle - and well worth reading. The article below is from today’s WSJ (30 OCT 08). (The emphases in the article are mine - Alex)

An Acorn Whistleblower Testifies in Court
The group’s ties to Obama are extensive.

By JOHN FUND

Acorn, the liberal “community organizing” group that claims it will deploy 15,000 get-out-the-vote workers on Election Day, can’t stay out of the news.

The FBI is investigating its voter registration efforts in several states, amid allegations that almost a third of[…]

Just a few minutes ago, Senator Obama spoke via Satellite to News Channel Five’s Leisa Zigman.

Here’s an idea for you business owners…

Dear Fellow Business Owners
 
As a business owner who employs 30 people, I have  resigned myself to the fact that Barack Obama will  be our next President, and that my taxes and fees will go up.
 
To compensate for these increases I figure that the Customer will have to see an increase in my fees to them of about 8%. I will also have to lay off six of my employees. This really bothered me as I believe we are family here and didn’t know how to choose who will have to go.

So this is what I did. I strolled through the parking lot[…]

You have to Pinch Yourself…

From a Letter to the Editor, The Spectator (UK) 10/14/08

“You have to pinch yourself - a Marxist radical who all his life has been mentored by, sat at the feet of, worshiped with, befriended, endorsed the philosophy of, funded and been in turn funded, politically promoted and supported by a nexus comprising black power anti-white racists, Jew-haters, revolutionary Marxists, unrepentant former terrorists and Chicago mobsters, is on the verge of becoming President of the United States. And apparently it’s considered impolite to say so.”
