Georgia Congressman Paul Broun Calls Barack Obama a Marxist

Thankfully, Congressman Paul Broun (R-GA) is ignoring the mainstream media’s request for us not to criticize Barack Obama “The Messiah:”
“It may sound a bit crazy and off base, but the thing is, he’s the one who proposed this national security force,” Rep. Paul Broun said of Obama in an interview Monday with The Associated Press. “I’m just trying to bring attention to the fact that we may — may not, I hope not — but we may have a problem with that type of philosophy of radical socialism or Marxism.”
Broun cited a July speech by Obama that has circulated on the Internet in which the then-Democratic presidential candidate called for a civilian force to take some of the national security burden off the military.
“That’s exactly what Hitler did in Nazi Germany and it’s exactly what the Soviet Union did,” Broun said. “When he’s proposing to have a national security force that’s answering to him, that is as strong as the U.S. military, he’s showing me signs of being Marxist.”
Amen. This is exactly what John McCain should have been saying all during the campaign.
It’s going to be very interesting to see which (if any) Republican colleagues not only come to Rep. Broun’s defense, but also agree with him. We’re going to find out just who the true conservatives are in the House.
UPDATE: Well it didn’t take long to get reactions from Georgia’s two Senators, Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson:
“I don’t agree with the statement,” said Sen. Johnny Isakson, who called the president-elect Monday and left a message of congratulations.
Sen. Saxby Chambliss echoed that view. “I commend President-elect Obama on his historic election,” said the senator, who faces a run-off Dec. 2 with Democratic challenger Jim Martin.
Chambliss said of Broun’s Hitler remarks, “I do not agree with him and I do not believe that type of political rhetoric is appropriate.”
Want to know what is wrong with the Republican Party? There it is. Political correctness is now rampant among the so-called “leaders” of the Party.
Johnny Isakson has got to go. He’s not a conservative. My fellow Georgians made a huge mistake my not electing Herman Cain in the 2004 primary.
White House: Bailout Isn’t Socialism Because We Say It Isn’t

Look at what Bush’s White House has become, and just remember, it’s only going to get worse with The Messiah in there in a couple of months:
The federal government’s $700 billion bailout of Wall Street, which includes purchasing shares in the nation’s banks, does not undermine free market capitalism, the White House said on Friday.
“We’re very, very far away from that line of socialism, wherever that’s drawn out there,” White House spokesman Tony Fratto said.
“Every action that we have taken, going back to the actions to prevent the total collapse of Bear, Stearns and making sure that that was worked out in an appropriate way until the very recent actions with the TARP program, have been all about one thing, and that is preventing the systemic breakdown in our economy,” Fratto continued.
“There’s absolutely zero appetite for government ownership and government control of private businesses, and that should be clear to everyone,” he added.
This is more of the same, justifying socialism. I love how this White House stooge tries to calm fears by stating that the government doesn’t have an “appetite” for ownership of private businesses. So that makes it all right? No, it doesn’t, and besides, I don’t buy it anyway.
I’m going to keep stating over and over again folks: This bailout was nothing more than a socialist springboard for Barack Obama.
Fred Barnes’ Recipe For Continued Republican Defeat
Posted on November 10, 2008

I am convinced more than ever that The Weekly Standard is nothing more than a media arm for “country club” Republicans. Fred Barnes is out with a piece today outlining his plan for a Republican resurgence, but in my opinion, if the GOP takes Barnes’ following tips, they’ll be headed for yet another election disaster.
Here are his tips:
The Obama Honeymoon. He’s going to have one, big time. It will probably linger into the early months of his presidency. Americans desperately want to feel good about a new president even if they didn’t vote for him. This is especially true in Obama’s case since he’s our first African-American president.
As the honeymoon drags on, Republicans may grow weary of the hero worship, but there’s nothing they can do to change it. Routinely complaining about Obama’s selection of a White House staff and cabinet will come off as small-minded and petty. The temptation to zing Obama should be resisted. The smarter tactic, given the inevitability of an extravagant Obama coronation, is to grin and bear it.
So we’re supposed to sit idly by while Obama appoints partisan hacks like Rahm Emanuel? Great idea Fred.
Republican Cooperation. For now, congressional Republicans need to emphasize their eagerness to forge bipartisan compromises with Democrats. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell has already done some of this.
Another wonderful idea. What he’s getting at here is that Republicans ought to lay down for the Dems and refuse to fight for conservatism.
Republican Patience. This is a trait rarely found in politicians, much less in Republican politicians. But it’s a virtue that can make Republicans look calm and responsible. The idea is to hold their fire until Democrats unleash the liberal agenda on Congress. That means their opposition to popular liberal bills, like funding for child health care, should be low-key and never obstreperous. Democrats will bring these up early next year, and they’ll attract some Republican support.
Again, we should just admit defeat, sit idly by, and let socialist program after socialist program be passed without a fight. What kind of logic is this?
Republican Weakness. Where is it? In the Northeast, across the upper Midwest, and in cities and upscale suburbs. To gain a majority in Congress, Republicans will have to win House and Senate seats in those places. To win the presidency, they’ll have to appeal to voters in those locations.
Republicans in Washington must keep these voters–they’re more moderate than conservative–in mind and avoid alienating them. Republicans don’t need to jettison conservative principles. Ryan, the party’s most innovative thinker, says Republicans need only apply these principles to the new political era, and moderates will be comfortable with the result.
Translation: Republicans should move even further to the left.
Fred Barnes and most everyone at The Weekly Standard are prime examples of what’s wrong with the Republican Party. I honestly don’t know why I continue to read the publication.
November 4: Soon To Be “Barack Obama Day?”
Posted on November 10, 2008

November 4 will soon be a national holiday, at least if one group has its way:
A civil rights organization in Kansas has launched a campaign to designate Nov. 4 as a national holiday, commemorating the election of Barack Obama as president.
“The reason why I want to have this holiday is because it marks the day America grew up,” said Sonny Scroggins, founder and president of Bias Busters of Kansas, the organization pushing for the holiday.
Scroggins told WND that America has for too long focused on what our ancestors did during legalized slavery, but the election of Obama shows that we no longer allow race and gender to be the deciding factors in guiding our nation, but integrity and honor.
This guy says that race wasn’t the deciding factor for people voting for Obama. Oh really? What about the almost 30% of Obama voters said that race was indeed a deciding factor? I guess he conveniently left those folks out.
It’s good to see though that the “Messiah” obsession is still alive and kicking.
An Historical Election Indeed

But not because America has elected a black man as president. This is an historical election because for the first time America has elected an outright socialist who parades himself around as a citizen of the world.
Just take a look at this excerpt from Obama’s victory speech:
When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs, a new sense of common purpose. Yes we can.
Why do you think Obama mentioned the New Deal? You think it’s simply because the 106 year old voter he spoke of lived through it? Wrong.
Obama is again overtly stating his affinity for socialism by bringing up the New Deal, but to him, the New Deal was socialism-lite.
I’m sorry folks, I’m not going to congratulate Barack Obama or offer my respect to someone who hasn’t earned it.
I know many of you will disagree with me on this, but I have lost a great deal of faith in my fellow Americans today.

Black Panthers Pull “Security” Duty At Philadelphia Voting Precinct

This isn’t an attempt at voter intimidation at all, is it?
Why are the officials at this precinct allow Black Panther members to be stationed outside the door?
This is akin to Klan members standing post outside a voting precinct in south-central Los Angeles.
Obama’s Going To Pay For My Gas And Mortgage

Hi. I want to introduce you to one of the most ignorant, quintessential voters for Barack Obama.
Someone doesn’t believe in John F. Kennedy’s creed of:
Ask not what what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.
Not with this woman–or most liberals. Thomas Jefferson warned us:
A government big enough to give you everything you want is strong enough to take everything you have
My oh my, how easy it is for a potential dictator to come to power–legitimately.
May God help us if if there are upwards of 60-70 million of these handout-seeking morons.
McCain Voters: Please Don’t Lie To Exit Pollsters

I’m concerned at some posts I’m reading on other conservatives blogs that are encouraging those of us who vote for Senator McCain and Governor Palin to lie to exit pollsters. Their thesis is that by lying to the exit pollsters the media will end up looking more foolish than they ordinarily do by skewing Obama’s showing. I know they mean well, but this is the absolute last thing we want to do.
By helping the media overstate Obama’s showing we very possibly will help reduce McCain’s turnout in key states like Nevada, New Mexico, and Montana. We don’t want that.
I would encourage every McCain voter to seek out exit pollsters and be honest. Tell them you voted for McCain-Palin and why. Encourage anyone you’re voting with who is voting for McCain to do the same.
The media are going to do a good enough job on their own overstating Obama’s turnout, we don’t don’t need to help them out. Besides, as I’ve stated, it’s counterproductive.
Predictions, Reminders, etc.

Let me preface my prediction of the presidential election by saying that I’ve only hit on 50% of my predictions so far. I wrote this time last year that John McCain was toast in the Republican primary. I was slightly wrong huh? I did predict correctly, however, that Barack Hussein Obama would defeat Hillary Clinton on the Democrat side of things.
With that stated, take this prediction for what you will.
McCain wins–narrowly, and I mean narrowly. I’m thinking he hits the 272 electoral vote mark. He does this by winning Florida, Ohio, and I think this coal issue will put McCain on top on Pennsylvania.
I think Obama’s inexperience, lack of record, and the fact that what we do know about him doesn’t paint a pro-America portrait of himself will creep back into the minds of many undecided voters while they’re in the voting booth. At the end of the day, they would rather go with McCain who has experience and a long record than with someone who is virtually an unknown quantity.
Also, keep in mind that the exit polls tomorrow night are going to be way off. More specifically, they’re going to overstate support for Obama. I’ve said this for two months. Mark it down and don’t freak out in the early evening tomorrow when the early returns start coming in.
If it’s God’s will let’s pray that He intervenes and saves us from Karl Marx II.
Go out and vote. Be patient with any lines. It’s one day folks. We can handle it.
Reminder: I’ll be here tomorrow night (election night) beginning about 6:45 p.m. est. for a live blog of the election results. Hope to see you here!
