Chuck Norris supports our troops. This means Huckabee will bring them all home honorably.  

Mike Huckabee Ad: "Chuck Norris Approved" 

Chuck Norris would also support this new biblical discovery about IRAQ in Biblical prophecy! 'Bible prophecies of 911.'  Analysts are already predicting a huge sweep of leftists coming into both houses of congress along with the white house this fall. These leftists openly consider christians the enemies of the state even above the terrorists.

These people itch to pass gay marriage and write hate legislation aimed directly against christian patriots.  They plan massive overhaul of the judicial system to impose legislation against 1st and 2nd amendment rights.

Watch the Hillary Clinton advertisement featuring Jack Nicholson A campaign advert for Hillary Clinton featuring an unlikely cast of supporters including Batman’s ’the Joker’ and a mass-murderer from the film The Shining has proved an internet hit. Since its release on Friday, more than 1.2 million people have viewed a film by Hollywood film star Jack Nicholson which splices together scenes from some of the Oscar winner’s most famous films to articulate his reasons for endorsing Clinton. 

“And now folks, it’s time for ’who do you trust’.

Hubba hubba hubba, money, money, money, who do you trust?”, opens Nicholson in the role of the Joker from the 1989 film Batman, before the film cuts to a scene from the 1980 horror movie The Shining, recasting his mass-murdering character’s unhinged mumblings as a comment on the Bush administration: “Things could be better, Lloyd. Things could be a whole lot better.”

Why McCain Would Vote For Obama 

If it is McCain vs. Obama in the general election, look for something to happen that was unthinkable only a short time ago. The Iraq War will become a Republican plus.

The reason is that McCain’s position on the war, as on so many other issues, looks in (at least) two directions. On the one hand, he voted to authorize the invasion. On the other, he consistently disagreed with the administration’s prosecution of the war in general and with the judgment of defense Secretary Rumsfeld in particular. And on the third hand, he advocated for a course of action that was at last implemented in the so-called “surge,” and with some success.

Is Barack Obama The Messiah? 

Obama, Obama 

“Now I’m a Christian, and I praise Jesus every Sunday,” he said, to a sudden wave of noisy applause and cheers. “I hear people saying things that I don’t think are very Christian with respect to people who are gay and lesbian,” he said, and the crowd seemed to come along with him this time. I haven’t seen a tape of the event, but it seems clear that Obama went beyond the call of duty in Beaumont yesterday.

Asked about gay rights, he began his answer with an anti-gay rights rhetorical formulation popular with religious bigots everywhere: the Ken Hutchersons of the world argue that anti-discrimination laws should apply only to “immutable” characteristics like race and gender. (Never mind that religious belief is a highly mutable characteristic—especially in the United States—and discrimination against people on the basis of religion is illegal.)

And when Obama said we shouldn’t discriminate on the basis of race, the largely African American crowd cheered; when he said we shouldn’t discriminate on the basis of sex, the crowd cheered; and when he said we shouldn’t discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation, the crowd sat silent. Obama could have moved on here, hurrying off to his next point, returning to some safer piece of ground. Obama, being a Democrat, said what he had to say about gay rights; basically, “I’m for ‘em, even if makes some people that are for me uncomfortable.” A lot of politicians, having done the bare minimum for the gays, would have refrained from pressing the point, and opted to quickly toss out something to get the crowd cheering again. But Obama didn’t do that. He took in the crowd’s silence, recognized it for what it was (an expression of bigotry), and proceeded to challenge the largely African American crowd its homophobia—and he did it using explicitly religious language. 

The moment reminded me of a conversation I had recently with a senior figure in the national gay rights movement, who noted that Obama’s deference to some black Christian discomfort with homosexuality—his refusal to dump the “ex-gay” gospel singer Donnie McClurkin from a tour—angered some gays and lesbians; but conversely, that his ability to sell gay rights in the black church is unique and appealing.

But Obama isn’t just able to sell gay rights to blacks that have been exposed to the virulent homophobia peddled by African American churches. He seems willing to do it—and willing to do it at a particularly crucial stage in the campaign. 

Obama Confronts African American Crowd On Gay Rights

Love and the media...

Cartoon at the Washington Post...

Gus: should not a Christian praise the Lord every day? (“Now I’m a Christian, and I praise Jesus every Sunday,” says Obama)... Dunno. I got shot down in flames the other day for suggesting that humanists... That's how far I got. The Christians, I was talking to, hate "humanists"! "They are selfish and greedy!"... And here was poor me, thus realising I had been wrong all this time to believe that humanists were human fellow travellers trying to improve the human condition unselfishly, using human means... "Only god can improve the human condition... via faith in our Lord Jesus! ...and redeem our sins...". Bugger! I suddenly felt like the great Satan himself (Satan, like god, is male, of course). I was thinking under this funny belief, god had a lot to answer for, including our misery... and having created satan out of his infinite goodness to ensure our misery.

Confused? Sure... And I am not a humanist... I am a carrotalist : it's a belief that hails carrots as equal to humankind... Crazy... Sure.

R.N.C. Snap Up Domain Names

By Kitty Bennett

Cannotrustclinton.com? clintonisbad.com? At least 25 domain names related to Hillary Rodham Clinton have links to the Republican National Committee: the names were either registered by the R.N.C. last year or showed up on servers the committee uses. Half a dozen seemed to guess at Mrs. Clinton’s eventual running mate, like clintonomalley.com, referring to Gov. Martin O’Malley of Maryland.

The day after Barack Obama won the Iowa caucuses, the R.N.C. snapped up at least 20 domains related to his candidacy. Some of them may signal the party’s future strategy: baracknotready.com and norealexperience.com. The party has also begun preemptively registering domains that could be used to attack John McCain, like mccainamigos.com, voteagainstmccain.com, flipflopmccain.com and hatemccain.com (ihatemccain.com was taken.)

Lying in Ohio...

Canada widens Obama memo investigation

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper has expanded an investigation into a leaked memo that has hurt Barack Obama's campaign for the US presidency.

The memo caused a cross border ruckus, and accusations from Canadian opposition MP's that the Harper Government is interfering in US politics.

The memo detailed a private conversation between Senator Obama's economic adviser and Canada's Consul General, suggesting that the democratic frontrunner's pledge to renegotiate the trade deal was only political posturing to win votes in Ohio.

------------------

Gus: we've known about this memo for a while now but it has been hard to verify its authenticity or be excited by it... My friends in Canada, who all hate Harper, say Harper is a clone of John Howard and loves George Bush beyond the call of brown-nosing... According to my friends, even our own former, let's call him ex-PM Johnnee, send shock tactical troops to help Harper's elections. All the memo does tell us is if you want to win in Ohio, bag Canada — temporarily... Makes sense, I'm Obamanovith...

Obama Denounces His Pastor’s Statements
By JODI KANTOR

In the handful of years he has spent in the national spotlight, Senator Barack Obama’s stance toward his pastor has gone from fulsome praise to growing distance to — as of Friday — outright denunciation.

On Friday, he called a grab bag of statements by his longtime minister, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, “inflammatory and appalling.”

“I reject outright the statements by Rev. Wright that are at issue,” he wrote in a campaign statement that was his strongest in a series of public disagreements with his pastor over the past year.

Earlier in the week, several television stations played clips of Mr. Wright referring to the United States as the “U.S. of K.K.K. A.” and saying that the Sept. 11 attacks were the result of corrupt American foreign policy. On Friday, Senator John McCain’s campaign forwarded a Wall Street Journal column to reporters in which Mr. Wright was quoted telling audiences that they should sing “God Damn America” instead of “God Bless America,” and accusing the United States of importing drugs, exporting guns and training murderers. Later in the day, Rush Limbaugh dwelled on Mr. Wright in his radio program, calling him “a race-baiter and a hatemonger.”

In the statement he released a few hours later, Mr. Obama, known for uplifting messages about national unity, professed a certain innocence about his pastor’s most incendiary messages.

“The statements that Rev. Wright made that are the cause of this controversy were not statements I personally heard him preach while I sat in the pews of Trinity or heard him utter in private conversation,” he said.

The eight-paragraph statement, first posted on the Huffington Post Web site, does not recount Mr. Wright’s claims, but rather was designed to address concerns about whether Mr. Wright’s beliefs reflected Mr. Obama’s own. “He has never been my political advisor,” Mr. Obama wrote, “he’s been my pastor.”

Mr. Obama belongs to the church Mr. Wright built, Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, and was married by Mr. Wright, who baptized his two daughters.Mr. Obama credits a sermon of Mr. Wright’s, “The Audacity of Hope,” with drawing him to Christianity, and used those words as the title to his second book. But the evening before he announced his run for the Democratic presidential nomination, Mr. Obama started to distance himself from Mr. Wright, canceling an invocation he initially asked the minister to give at his presidential announcement.

Mr. Wright, 66, who last month fulfilled long-standing plans to retire, is a beloved figure in African-American Christian circles and a frequent guest in pulpits around the country. Since he arrived at Trinity in 1972, he has built a 6,000-member congregation through his blunt, charismatic preaching, which melds detailed scriptural analysis, black power, Afrocentrism and an emphasis on social justice; Mr. Obama praised that last quality in Friday’s statement.

Mr. Wright’s most powerful influence, said several ministers and scholars who have followed his career, is black liberation theology, which interprets the Bible as a guide to African-American oppression.

the next presidential religious crawl...

Huckabee intimate (and '08 campaign manager) Chip Saltsman just took a chief of staff job on the Hill. Saltsman insists his move doesn't augur one way or another for his old boss's intentions, but this is the time when other prospective candidates are locking in top-level staff.

That's not to say Huckabee couldn't gear up later, fly lighter. He won Iowa last time around despite being far outspent by Mitt Romney et al., and things have been developing more slowly this time around. But what will Huckabee be doing on, say, June 7, 2011 when other candidates will be hurling red meat from a dais in Manchester, New Hampshire? He'll be on an Alaskan cruise.

As for the "Jesus Primary," it seems very plausible that social conservatives would be interested in an option other than the Mormon, once-upon-a-time "effectively pro-choice" Romney. But I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss Tim Pawlenty's credentials. Leith Anderson, Pawlenty's pastor at Wooddale Church in Eden Prarie, Minnesota, happens to be the well-connected president of the National Association of Evangelicals. But I get Joe's point. Anderson is no Chuck Norris.
