Rights guaranteed – responsibilities not required
October 28, 2008
How come liberals talk about rights that should be guaranteed, but not responsibilities required? I would think that if you are going to be guaranteed rights by the state, the state would set detailed responsibilities from those benefiting from those rights.
This mornings post by Scott Johnson at Power Line – Obama’s Constitution – should be an eye opener. During the past few months the alternative media has proven Obama to be a socialist. There is no denying it. Now we have another official Obama adviser trying to explain away Obama’s comments on Chicago public radio in 2001.
Update: New phrase coined – Second Bill of Rights. (see more below)
Obama playbook – blame Fox News
October 27, 2008
Call them talking points if you’d like, but the Obama camp seems to have a standing order to blame Fox News for promoting fake controversy. Bill Burton – Obama’s national press secretary – joined Megyn Kelly again this afternoon on Fox News with the intention of discussion Obama’s statements during the 2001 radio interview everyone is talking about.
Bill Whittle over at NRO has good analysis of the Obama answers (thanks to Malkin for the link). Whittle states that this discovery will hurt Obama more than Joe the plumber, but I don’t see it since the analysis required more thought than “redistribution of wealth is bad.”
Here’s the video from Fox today during the 5 p.m. ET hour.
Commenter emailneuvo over at Hot Air has this…
Holy cow, I never realized how “Nothing to see here! Move along! NOW!” Obama’s camp plays it. I mean, I knew it, but, whoa.
Dude, you needed more evidence?
The growing government hand – looking back
October 26, 2008
M. Jay Wells at American Thinker has put together a time line wrapping together – year by year – how the mortgage crisis happened. It’s a long post, but worth your time this Sunday morning.
The piece outlines choices made by our elected leaders – and influence by organizations like ACORN – going back to FDR’s New Deal in the 1930s. That’s right, it all started 75 years ago.
Video – Thompson discusses an Obama administration

Good video. My post explaining the case against Obama is probably a bit long and this video is just over 12 minutes. Do you have the time for both? You should.
Updated: Testing McCain and Obama web sites – credit card fraud
October 24, 2008
After all of the activity concerning the Obama Web site and how it seems a bit “loose” in how it collects credit card donations, I’m taking one for the team and testing it myself.
But instead of just testing Obama’s site, I’m testing the McCain site too. Note that neither of the sites ask for the credit card validation number – also know as the CVC – which is normal practice by other secure Web sites that collect credit card information for processing.
