Presidential candidate Alan Keyes, vice-presidential candidate Wiley S. Drake, and the Chairman of the American Independent Party, Markham Robinson, have filed suit in California Superior Court in Sacramento seeking to bar Secretary of State Debra Bowen from certifying to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger the names of Electors, and from transmitting to each presidential Elector a Certificate of Election, until documentary proof is produced and verified showing that Senator Obama is a “natural born” citizen of the United States, and does not hold citizenship of Indonesia, Kenya or Great Britain.

As reported by WorldNetDaily, the official website of President-Elect Barack Obama, Change.gov, originally announced that Obama would “require” all middle school through college students to participate in community service programs; but after a flurry of blogs protested children being drafted into Obama’s proposed youth corps, the website’s wording was softened.

Originally, under the tab “America Serves” Change.gov read:

“Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year.”

The word “require” was stricken from the website Friday (2008-11-07) and replaced with the phrase “setting a goal”. Now, it also lists tax credits toward college tuition.

On November 4, 2008 just hours after the presidential election victory of Barack Hussein Obama, thousands of Philadelphians poured into the streets to cheer for the President-elect. Hordes of joyful Obama supporters overflowed with gleeful chanting fervor.

But when one man dared to have a differing opinion, simply by wearing a McCain/Palin ‘08 t-shirt, police officers threatened him with arrest and eventually did so. Apparently, it is now illegal in the City of Brotherly Love to be a quiet white republican. The ever-so-tolerant Obama fanatics shouted chants as the man was arrested for QUIETLY trying to use his First Amendment rights. We’ll keep you posted as similar ordeals develop in the news in the coming months.

The first video is specific clip of this incident. The second one is a more extensive 6-minute documentary of events that night.

As President-elect Barack Obama prepares to take office in January, he is confronted with many challenges. Few presidents have ever stepped into the oval office in such difficult times. Issues looming ahead include health care, Medicare financing, energy concerns, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, terrorism threats, unprotected borders, 30 million undocumented immigrants, and the numerous warning signs that our economy is in recession.

As crises abound, the president-elect must fill key posts with a top-notch team. And, he must put the right people in the right place expeditiously. Obama’s first personnel decision (2008-11-06) was to name U.S. Representative Rahm Emanuel as his Chief of Staff, a key position for the success of a new administration. He has a reputation of doing whatever it takes to achieve well-defined goals. (read this entire post…)

According to Rasmussen Reports, ninety-one percent (91%) of Republicans have a favorable view of Sarah Palin, including 65% who say their view is Very Favorable. Only eight percent (8%) have an unfavorable view of her, including three percent (3%) Very Unfavorable.

Seventy-one percent (71%) said McCain made the right choice by picking Palin as his running mate, while only 65% said the party picked the right nominee for president. When asked to choose among some of the GOP’s top names for their choice for the party’s 2012 presidential nominee, 64% say Palin.

The next closest contenders are two former governors and unsuccessful challengers for the presidential nomination this year — Mike Huckabee of Arkansas with 12% support and Mitt Romney of Massachusetts with 11%. Three other sitting governors – Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, Charlie Crist of Florida and Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota – all pull low single-digit support.

Blog hoppers, news hounds, disenchanted conservatives, and other venerable ilk … lend me an ear. For today, this enlightening day, we’ll delve into an adventure of discovery elucidating the poignant consequences of the runaway collapse of morality in western culture. Yes; that ineffable vice of which I dare to speak is none other than pernicious procrastination … and its far-reaching detriment to our center-right nation.

Now before you relegate my pungent distress to the scatological realm of male bovine excrement, allow me to assert two rebuttals at this juncture. First, I am not afflicted with Bidenesque rhetorical flourishes. Second, and more importantly, powered with an online thesaurus I can hurl salvos of adjectives at you faster than a ravenous cheetah.

“And it came to pass in the eighth year of the reign of the evil Bush the younger, the ignorant, when the whole land from the Arabian desert to the shores of the Great Lakes had been laid barren … that a child appeared in the wilderness.”

 

“On the 7th day, he walked across the channel of the Angles to the ancient land of hooligans.”

The mandate for Barack Obama’s promise of change has prevailed. Appearing before tens of thousands of supporters in Chicago, President-elect Barack Obama discussed his historical campaign and victory … and called for unity.

Conservatives, Republicans, Libertarians, PUMAs … we do need to come together … we are Americans first. Let us HOPE and PRAY that President Obama will lead our great nation with honor and respect. Only with unity can we, as a nation, effectively work through our collective problems which make up the enormous task in front of us.

“If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.”

 

“The road ahead will be long, our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even one term, but America, I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you, we as a people, will get there.”

Just after 12:00 noon today (2008-11-04), Fox News reported that two Black Panthers were at one polling station in Philadelphia, PA, “guarding” the doorway. One carried a nightstick and confronted a citizen who had gone in to the polling place. That citizen called police (he was interviewed by the Philly correspondent for Fox). The citizen reported that police removed the black panther with the night stick, but the other, who lives in the area, remains near the door.

Hopefully, this is just an isolated incident of voter intimidation.

Police stopped “Joe the Plumber” for speeding last week, but didn’t issue a ticket out of concern it would reflect negatively on the Toledo department, an officer’s report said. Officers tracked Samuel J. Wurzelbacher driving about 50 mph in a 35 mph zone in his Dodge Durango SUV on Wednesday (2008-10-29), the police report said.

In the final presidential debate, Republican John McCain portrayed Wurzelbacher as emblematic of people with concerns about Democrat Barack Obama’s tax plans. Wurzelbacher has since endorsed McCain. His instant fame set off a rush of interest in the plumber’s background. Toledo’s police chief said on Tuesday — the day before the traffic stop — that a department clerk faces a disciplinary hearing for allegedly looking up Wurzelbacher’s address on a state computer database.

Wurzelbacher was given a verbal warning because of that ongoing investigation and because a citation could have “negative repercussions to the department and city as a whole,” according to the report, which lists “Patrolman Bailey” as its author.
