Or is it that they support Obama’s Getintheirface?

Two people were arrested Monday afternoon after an altercation led to five Republican campaign workers being sprayed with Mace at their headquarters in Galax [VA].

Galax Police Chief Rick Clark said officers were dispatched shortly before 1 p.m. to the Galax Republican headquarters on East Grayson Street when a caller reported someone had sprayed office workers with Mace.

Responding officers arrested Daniel Cason Meinecke, 29, and Cara Annis Hindman, 26, both of Galax.

Meinecke was charged with one count of misdemeanor assault, Hindman was charged with five counts of misdemeanor assault.

Galax Republican Chairman Mike Stevens said he was one of the volunteers sprayed. He said a man and woman came into the office and asked for campaign yard signs for the Democratic ticket of Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

After being told the Obama-Biden campaign office was up the street, Stevens said, the man said he was aware of that, but that he thought Democratic signs were being stolen and “stashed” at the Republican office.

Stevens told him that nobody there had stolen signs, not were they “stashing” any in the building.

A confrontation escalated and, Stevens said, the man began to use some four-letter words.

Stevens said there were older women in the office and he asked the couple to leave the building.

“With the ladies in the office, I said that was enough and asked them to leave,” he said. “I told them, if they had a problem with someone stealing their signs they needed to contact the police department.”

Stevens said the couple replied that they weren’t leaving, and that they didn’t have to.

“I kind of moved them towards the door and he lashed out at me,” Stevens said. “So I lashed out at him.”

No punches were thrown, but instead the two simply held each other at bay, according to Stevens.

Once outside, Stevens said, the woman sprayed Mace on him and another volunteer before turning back to the office and spraying inside the building.

That is our liberals – convinced that the GOP is doing wrong; impervious to the fact that the GOP is not doing wrong; irretrievably vulgar; violent when confronted. Paranoid, hate-filled and intolerant.

This is change we can believe in, but it sure isn’t change we want.

I know, its waaaay the heck off the public radar, but its important, all the same:

October 27, 2008: The war is over. Most of the noise these days is from politicians arguing, not bombs going off. There are still bombs, but now they tend to be assassination attempts, as some political parties play dirty (not unknown in this part of the world)…

…Iraqis now concentrate on more mundane things, like a serious drought, and the difficulties in attracting doctors, and other professionals, back to Iraq (after they fled the violence of the past few years.) The drought has been regional, and serious. Crop yields are down nearly 30 percent, and some food imports (like grain) are up 40 percent. Growing prosperity is sharply increasing the demand. While the economy is booming, the government is having a hard time carrying out needed infrastructure projects (like the irrigation system farmers depend on.) Most of Iraq’s infrastructure dates from the 1970s. Construction basically ceased in 1980, when Iraq went to war with Iran. That war ended in 1988, quickly followed by the invasion of Kuwait in 1990. There followed a decade of UN sanctions, then five years of terrorism. Now people want the country rebuilt, but the democratic form of government makes it difficult to agree on where to start…

Never forget: Obama wanted us to lose this war. He wanted us out, Iran in and the terrorists triumphant. He has been proven a complete fool and utter ignoramous.

Elect him, if you want – but he’s a man entirely unequipped to be President of the United States of America.

Obama on what “we” will need to do:

…make no mistake: the change we need won’t come easy or without cost. We will all need to tighten our belts, we will all need to sacrifice and we will all need to pull our weight because now more than ever, we are all in this together.

Somehow I doubt that ol’ Barry is going to sell his swell mansion and put the proceeds into the US treasury. I’m not expecting a tax on Ted Kennedy’s yacht. We’ll be waiting a long time for a tax on John Kerry’s ski chalet. Does anyone want to bet me that we won’t see a surcharge on John Edwards’ haircuts? And does anyone want to imagine what screams there would be if anyone proposed a tax on Pelosi’s winery?

No, when Barack Obama proclaims the need for all of “us” to tighten our belts and get ready for sacrifice, what he means is that you and I, dear middle class taxpayer, had better get ready to pony up. The change Obama wants to bring certainly won’t come easy – for us, that is. Obama and his fellow rich, elite liberals it will be quite easy. Oh, to be sure there might be a slight rise in their income taxes, but their actual wealth will remain untouched – because rich liberals need to remain rich if they are to lead the Little Guy properly.

I think I could take this socialist nonsense a little better if the people who push it were down on our economic level. Filthy rich and with large staffs to take care of their day to day chores, people like Obama can’t imagine what the fuss is all about when they proclaim their desire to “spread the wealth around”. As a rule, socialist leaders – like Obama – are rich because of inheritance (like Ted Kennedy or, for that matter, Lenin) or because of strange circumstances (such as Obama’s book sales being propelled because he was made famous by the MSM)…not knowing how real wealth is created, they have a disdain for those who create wealth and a fairy-tale notion of a battle between rich and poor with the liberals and socialists as the defenders of the poor.

The catastrophe which would be an Obama administration stems from this entirely unrealistic view of the world coupled with the normal contempt felt by leftwing leaders of actual members of class they claim to represent. He’ll lurch from theory to theory and demand the world fit itself into his received worldview and when it doesn’t he’ll retreat from it and insist, like Carter over the past 28 years, that the world had it wrong and he was right. America will survive, but it’ll be quite a mess for us to clean up, should we be unwise enough to elect Obama.

Life in all of its glory from conception to natural death:

Republican vice-presidential candidate Gov. Sarah Palin’s Friday speech describing her commitment to policies which assist children with special needs was praised by the president of the pro-life Susan B. Anthony List as an offer of “compassion and concrete help” to those in need.

Palin’s remarks came in her first policy speech on the issue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She advocated school choice opportunities for special needs children, fully funding the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), and lowering taxes on special needs trusts which families establish to fund long-term care for their children.

“Very rarely does an issue in the public forum speak to the heart so poignantly as protecting children with special needs. Governor Sarah Palin offers compassion and concrete help to those of us hungry for information, support and solutions,” said Susan B. Anthony List President Marjorie Dannenfelser in a Friday press release.

“Why does Sarah have such a beautiful perspective? Because she sees the value, necessity, and joy inherent in every human life,” she continued.

No one is ever promised an easy time, but life is always beautiful and it is always not just the right choice, but the only rational choice. To see an unborn life and consider killing it an acceptable (let alone good) option is to be soaked in our modern Age of Lies – to be emotionally crippled by despair.

We have no more urgent task and no more noble calling than to restore the respect for life to the center of our civilization’s existence – it was what we were built on, in firm rejection of the Greco-Roman world’s cruelty and inhumanity, it was Christian civilization which asserted that each life is important and must be respected. We have to get back to that – and only by getting back to that can we really cure all our social ills because if there is no right to life, there really is no right to anything; and if killing unborn children isn’t wrong, then nothing is wrong.

This ad is to run in Florida, Pennsylvania and Ohio. If McCain won’t do it, then the National Republican Trust PAC, will.

Jury finds Ted Stevens guilty on 7 counts…

It is always good to purge your party of it’s corrupt members… It is just too bad Democrats don’t feel the same way…

“I’m not interested in the suburbs. The suburbs bore me.” –Barack Obama

All I have to say about this is the following: If “socialist” is a code word for “black” then “suburbs” is a code word for “white.”

Go here for the scoop.

I think we can say that the constitution reflected a enormous blind spot in this culture that carries on until this day and that the Framers had that same blind spot. I don’t think the two views are contradictory to say that it was a remarkable political document that paved the way for where we are now and to say that it also reflected the fundamental flaw of this county that continues to this day.

And he also believes that the Supreme Court should decide what the government must do for you (as defined by Obama and other lefties, of course):

The Supreme Court never ventured into the issues of redistribution of wealth, and of more basic issues such as political and economic justice in society. To that extent, as radical as I think people try to characterize the Warren Court, it wasn’t that radical. It didn’t break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the founding fathers in the Constitution, at least as its been interpreted and Warren Court interpreted in the same way, that generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties. Says what the states can’t do to you. Says what the Federal government can’t do to you, but doesn’t say what the Federal government or State government must do on your behalf.

The man believes that the Founders got it wrong – that they didn’t set up a system Obama would prefer; a system, that is, where redistribution is the name of the game. Obama wants a government which decides the outcomes of life – and it must be kept in mind that if a government is going to “fix” the outcomes, it cannot allow people to be free. Obama is a socialist through and through, even if he refuses the label – but, then again, most socialists in the United States refuse that label, too, and insist we call them “progressives”.

Americans: do we want a President who thinks that the Founders got it wrong? Do we want a President who sees the coercive club of government as a magic wand to make us all happy? If we do, then Obama will be elected next week – if, on the other hand, we prefer to actually remain American, then we’ll vote for McCain.
