Focusing on achieving your goals is an important part of living a successful life, but are your current goals even attainable? Reassess your plans for the future and eliminate any unrealistic goals that you have set up for yourself.
Yes, you can get that job, but it might not pay what you are expecting. You can lose that weight, but it's going to take you a little bit longer. Get more realistic and patient about your aims, or else you are just setting yourself up for failure.

White Guilt
I personally never suffered from "white guilt" but this guy says it all.
WHITE GUILT IS DEAD
By Tom Adkins
Look at my fellow conservatives! There they go, glumly shuffling along, depressed by the election aftermath Not me. I’m virtually euphoric. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not thrilled with America ’s flirtation with neo socialism But there’s a massive silver lining in those magical clouds that lofted Barack Obama to the Presidency. For today, without a shred of intellectually legitimate opposition, I can loudly proclaim to America : The Era of White Guilt is over.
This seemingly impossible event occurred because the vast majority of white Americans didn’t give a fluff about skin color, and enthusiastically pulled the voting lever for a black man. Not just any black man. A very liberal black man who spent his early career race-hustling banks, praying in a racist church for 20 years, and actively worked with America-hating domestic terrorists. Wow! Some resume! Yet they made Barack Obama their leader. Therefore, as of Nov 4th, 2008, white guilt is dead.
For over a century, the millstone of white guilt hung around our necks, retribution for slave-owning predecessors. In the 60s, American liberals began yanking that millstone while sticking a fork in the eye of black Americans, exacerbating the racial divide to extort a socialist solution. But if a black man can become President, exactly what significant barrier is left? The election of Barack Obama absolutely destroys the entire validation of liberal white guilt. The dragon is hereby slain.
So today, I’m feeling a little “uppity,” if you will. From this day forward, my tolerance level for having my skin color hustled is now exactly ZERO. And it’s time to clean house. No more Reverend Wright’s “God Damn America ,” Al Sharpton’s Church of Perpetual Victimization , or Jesse Jackson’s rainbow racism. Cornell West? You’re a fraud. Go home. All those “black studies” programs that taught kids to hate whitey? You must now thank Whitey And I want that on the final.
Congressional Black Caucus? Irrelevant. Maxine Waters? Shut up. ACORN? Outlawed. Black Panthers? Go home and pet your kitty. Black separatists? Find another nation that offers better dreams. Go ahead. I’m waiting.
Gangsta rappers? Start praising America . Begin with the Pledge of Allegiance. And please…no more Ebonics. Speak English, and who knows where you might end up? Oh, yeah…pull up your pants. Your underwear is showing. You look stupid.
To those Eurosnots who forged entire careers hating America ? I’m still waiting for the first black French President.
And let me offer an equal opportunity whupping. I’ve always despised lazy white people. Now, I can talk smack about lazy black people. You’re poor because you quit school, did drugs, had three kids with three different fathers, and refuse to work. So when you plop your Colt 45-swilling, Oprah watchin’ butt on the couch and complain “Da Man is keepin’ me down,” allow me to inform you: Da Man is now black. You have no excuses.
No more quotas. No more handouts. No more stealing my money because someone’s great-great-great-great grandparents suffered actual pain and misery at the hands of people I have no relation to, and personally revile.
It’s time to toss that massive, obsolete race-hustle machine upon the heap of the other stupid 60s ideas. Drag it over there, by wife swapping, next to dope-smoking. Plenty of room right between free love and cop-killing. Careful…don’t trip on streaking. There ya go, don’t be gentle. Just dump it. Wash your hands. It’s filthy.
In fact, Obama’s ascension created a gargantuan irony. How can you sell class envy and American unfairness when you and your black wife went to Ivy League schools, got high-paying jobs, became millionaires, bought a mansion, and got elected President? How unfair is that??? Now, Like a delicious O'Henry tale, Obama’s spread-the-wealth campaign rendered itself moot by it's own victory! America is officially a meritocracy. Obama’s election has validated American conservatism!
So, listen carefully…Wham!!!
That’s the sound of my foot kicking the door shut on the era of white guilt. The rites have been muttered, the carcass lowered, dirt shoveled, and tombstone erected. White guilt is dead and buried.
However, despite my glee, there’s apparently one small, rabid bastion of American racism remaining. Black Americans voted 96% for Barack Obama. Hmmm. In a color-blind world, shouldn’t that be 50-50? Tonight, every black person should ask forgiveness for their apparent racism and prejudice towards white people. Maybe it’s time to start spreading the guilt around.

What Global Warming
The world has never seen such freezing heat
By Christopher Booker
Last Updated: 12:01am GMT 16/11/2008
A surreal scientific blunder last week raised a huge question mark about the temperature records that underpin the worldwide alarm over global warming. On Monday, Nasa's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), which is run by Al Gore's chief scientific ally, Dr James Hansen, and is one of four bodies responsible for monitoring global temperatures, announced that last month was the hottest October on record.
This was startling. Across the world there were reports of unseasonal snow and plummeting temperatures last month, from the American Great Plains to China, and from the Alps to New Zealand. China's official news agency reported that Tibet had suffered its "worst snowstorm ever". In the US, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration registered 63 local snowfall records and 115 lowest-ever temperatures for the month, and ranked it as only the 70th-warmest October in 114 years.
So what explained the anomaly? GISS's computerised temperature maps seemed to show readings across a large part of Russia had been up to 10 degrees higher than normal. But when expert readers of the two leading warming-sceptic blogs, Watts Up With That and Climate Audit, began detailed analysis of the GISS data they made an astonishing discovery. The reason for the freak figures was that scores of temperature records from Russia and elsewhere were not based on October readings at all. Figures from the previous month had simply been carried over and repeated two months running.
The error was so glaring that when it was reported on the two blogs - run by the US meteorologist Anthony Watts and Steve McIntyre, the Canadian computer analyst who won fame for his expert debunking of the notorious "hockey stick" graph - GISS began hastily revising its figures. This only made the confusion worse because, to compensate for the lowered temperatures in Russia, GISS claimed to have discovered a new "hotspot" in the Arctic - in a month when satellite images were showing Arctic sea-ice recovering so fast from its summer melt that three weeks ago it was 30 per cent more extensive than at the same time last year.
A GISS spokesman lamely explained that the reason for the error in the Russian figures was that they were obtained from another body, and that GISS did not have resources to exercise proper quality control over the data it was supplied with. This is an astonishing admission: the figures published by Dr Hansen's institute are not only one of the four data sets that the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) relies on to promote its case for global warming, but they are the most widely quoted, since they consistently show higher temperatures than the others.
If there is one scientist more responsible than any other for the alarm over global warming it is Dr Hansen, who set the whole scare in train back in 1988 with his testimony to a US Senate committee chaired by Al Gore. Again and again, Dr Hansen has been to the fore in making extreme claims over the dangers of climate change. (He was recently in the news here for supporting the Greenpeace activists acquitted of criminally damaging a coal-fired power station in Kent, on the grounds that the harm done to the planet by a new power station would far outweigh any damage they had done themselves.)
Yet last week's latest episode is far from the first time Dr Hansen's methodology has been called in question. In 2007 he was forced by Mr Watts and Mr McIntyre to revise his published figures for US surface temperatures, to show that the hottest decade of the 20th century was not the 1990s, as he had claimed, but the 1930s.
Another of his close allies is Dr Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the IPCC, who recently startled a university audience in Australia by claiming that global temperatures have recently been rising "very much faster" than ever, in front of a graph showing them rising sharply in the past decade. In fact, as many of his audience were aware, they have not been rising in recent years and since 2007 have dropped.
Dr Pachauri, a former railway engineer with no qualifications in climate science, may believe what Dr Hansen tells him. But whether, on the basis of such evidence, it is wise for the world's governments to embark on some of the most costly economic measures ever proposed, to remedy a problem which may actually not exist, is a question which should give us all pause for thought.

Some clever person came up with this:
‘Twas the night before elections
And all through the town
Tempers were flaring
Emotions all up and down!
I, in my bathrobe
With a cat in my lap
Had cut off the TV
Tired of political crap.
When all of a sudden
There arose such a noise
I peered out of my window
Saw Obama and his boys
They had come for my wallet
They wanted my pay
To give to the others
Who had not worked a day!
He snatched up my money
And quick as a wink
Jumped back on his bandwagon
As I gagged from the stink
He then rallied his henchmen
Who were pulling his cart
I could tell they were out
To tear my country apart!
‘ On Fannie, on Freddie,
On Biden and Ayers!
On Acorn, On Pelosi’
He screamed at the pairs!
They took off for his cause
And as he flew out of sight
I heard him laugh at the nation
Who wouldn’t stand up and fight!
So I leave you to think
On this one final note-
IF YOU DONT WANT SOCIALISM
GET OUT AND VOTE!!!!
Don’t let the Socialists, Marxists, and a gang of brownshirts have almost total control of our Federal Government

As once stated, I am not a racist. I hate everyone equally. ;o) However, I have found many people questioning this simply because I refuse to vote for Barack Obama. This is completely asinine. It is not my fault that he is black -- a person's race must never be considered for anything -- but it IS his fault that I do not like him. His actions speak far louder -- and more truthful -- than his mere words. His methodical calls for "change" do not suggest an improvement for the future, the inspiration of Americanization, or even the jumpstarting of capitalism. No, his intention is for change: Change (chaynj) v. 1. To alter; make or become different; vary. 2. To substitute. 3. To exchange.
However, the question must be asked, do you really want to alter, differentiate, substitute, or exchange America, as we know it? I doubt very much that you do. If anything, you have been preached to that the last eight years of the infamous Bush Administration is behind your need for "change" even though many other administrations in U.S. history presented their citizens with actions no less intolerable than our current example. Yet, none of our ancestors preached change as much as Senator Obama does. What could he be hiding within his platform? Why is his vision for a "better" America so secretive? Most importantly, the question needs to be addressed, if his "hope" for a better and brighter future is so damn good then why must he resort to intimidation, deceit, fraud, and the silencing of his opponents in order to achieve it?
I bolted from membership in the Democratic Party when Bill Clinton became the favorite but, damn, even Slick Willy never resorted to what this character has been guilty of. Furthermore, Bill Clinton served as governor for a number of years and, hence, there goes that fundamental rule again, held executive experience. [...] And what, might you ask, has [Obama] done (or will do) that deserves such an uncivilized characterization? Glad that you asked.
There is a red glow upon our horizon; a fire line that bodes of destruction and chaos. It is a Red Holocaust unlike anything the world has seen or will ever see again but in true Biblical fashion, many of us may not even know of its existence or its arrival until it is far too late. Some of the characteristic signs that I, and many others like me, see are:
Pro-Abortion
Barack Obama is perhaps the most abortion-friendly candidate to run for President of the United States. His desire to see little babies suffocate to death just because an act to save their lives may have had questionable political attachments is absurd. None of us would pass a stricken soul on the street just because they did not have insurance or any other legislated document so why would Obama come up with an excuse to ignore any child born alive?Anti-MilitaryThe would-be commander-in-chief of our nation's military has never, ever worn a uniform, voted to deny our forces in combat their hard-earned pay, funds for their resources, and desires for them to return home in defeat. That's not being a commander. That's not being a chief. That's merely being "in" with the liberal left who wish to see America denigrated in full view of the world. There's a word for that in the dictionary:
Treason (tree-z'n) n. 1. Sedition. 2. Treachery; betrayal.
Pro-Iranian
I don't even know where to begin with this one. For the past couple of months my class project (yep, I've returned to serious study after twenty-seven years!) has been an in-depth study of the Iran-Israel conflict and the six-inch thick (I've measured it) stack of documents next to me presents a dire view of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the ruling clerics in Tehran. Who, in their right mind, may I ask, would like to sit down across the table from Ahmadinejad and discuss anything? Barack Obama, that's who. Senator Obama wants to sit down all nice and cozy with one of the world's foremost lunatics and make play. Ahmadinejad does not want Twinkies; he wants nukes!
Anti-Israel
[...]
The point is that I know enough about my friends to care about who they are. I care about their heritage, their families, their livelihoods and, yes, by all means, their safety. This has nothing to do with Middle East politics, it's all about knowing that some maniacal monster in Iran desires to vaporize seven million people in a single flash. That's one million more than the Holocaust. I doubt very much that I'll ever be invited to Iran (unless there is a profound political change over there) but I have been invited in the past to visit Israel, even purchase some real estate there. I'd like that. I like the historical and cultural significance of the land. I just would not want to come back to my beloved United States glowing like a damn bug lamp.
Anti-Gun
Barack Obama's rating from the National Rifle Association ranks in the cellar. The sewer beneath the cellar, to be more precise. That's regarding a fundamental right of all Americans that ranks second only to free speech within the Bill of Rights. He is against handgun ownership (recently upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court as America's protection of choice), against hunting, and desires to prosecute Americans who defend their own lives. His supporters quip that he can't change such Constitutional protections -- but with a mandate in Congress, he can do as he pleases.
Anti-Religion
Let's face it, we're "One Nation under God." We have always been. There is no need to debate that fact; one only needs to tour our national monuments to discover this reality. Perhaps a tour of Arlington National Cemetery would defeat any naysayers. Regardless, Barack Obama does not profess to any religion of truth, faith, and justice. For twenty years, a hateful, anti-American preacher has indoctrinated him. That's during his adulthood. During his childhood, he had been dragged around one Muslim country after another. Any person, in my opinion, who does not believe in God should not run the "One Nation" under that deity. But that's just my opinion.
Untrustworthiness
I would like to hear from any federal employee with a Top Secret government clearance who has as tarnished a background as does the junior senator from Illinois. For the rest of you, I will "enlighten" you to the process. First, you, Joe the Fed, have to fill out documents relating to all of your acquaintances, travels, jobs, periods of unemployment, and residences (but only back to your eighteenth birthday). Then you have to go through a polygraph examination, a psychological examination, and, I did, a medical examination where they poke, prod, and pinch every square inch of your body. Next, comes the challenging part. The background investigators (in my experience, from the Department of Defense) then canvas your neighborhood, your places of employment and education and talk to everyone who knows of you. If you are a typical "new hire" this may take upwards of 12-18 months to complete. When they receive all of the data back from the people that knew you (or thought that they knew you and you them), then they bring you down into the local federal office and grill you over any discrepancies they may have found. If you have had any kind of "colorful" life, you may find yourself defending your thoughts and actions against a stack of sworn (but perhaps not honest) testimony a foot and a half thick. Now, I ask you in complete honesty, how the hell could someone with Barack Obama's tainted background gain the kind of security clearance needed by the President of the United States? Remember the movie Tora! Tora! Tora! when the character played by E.G. Marshall lamented over the removal of FDR from the "cleared" list just before Pearl Harbor was attacked simply because someone in the President's office left classified documents in the trash? What if our very president was the security breech?
Joe the Autoworker
I don't want to talk about Joe the Plumber. I want to talk about Joe the Autoworker, my late father. For decades, my dad worked his way through horribly brutal factories (not the air-conditioned "laboratory" manifestations of today). As a child, I toured these factories during the local family get-togethers and, let me tell you, an old foundry is filthy, loud, and very hot. The most that my dad ever made -- when he retired -- was 9 dollars an hour. When I was born, he was involved in a Hi-Lo (forklift) accident that tore off his heel. It happened because at the time, his workplace was horribly unkempt and dangerous. You would think that after a lifetime of paying union dues, working for the likes of Jimmy Hoffa (who once personally bailed my father out of jail when he was wrongfully arrested for what they considered to be an "illegal" strike), and voting both pro-union and pro-Democratic, they would have done more to help him. No, they didn't. The people today employed in what would be considered the closest semblance to his old position -- the unions drove most of the old factories out of business -- now make about fifty dollars an hour. My dad switched to voting for Republicans when Clinton got the nod, but still today, they swamp my mother daily with pro-Obama/anti-McCain literature paid for, in part, by his dues. Is this how unions work? "You pay us so that we can tell you how to vote"? Now they want open ballots. Puh-leaze.
The Media
Free speech has gone out through the window in this nation. While Princess Obama pays for a twenty-four-hour DISH Network channel and shells out Six Million to buy air time on the major networks, his cronies attack dissenters through the Internet and in person. They yank anti-Obama opinions off the Web, manhandle the press into supporting him unchallenged, and should I, for example, say anything hostile towards their candidate, one of their staffers will digitally manifest into several "different" opponents and hound me as if I were the Antichrist. What they don't know is that everything through the Internet can be traced, contrary to Hollywood movies and television shows. The actions of Barack Obama and his "campaign" people bring to mind only two words: [A famous mean Socialist]. If you have proof that everything that [this Evil Leader] stood for isn't being repeated in some manner by Senator Obama. I'm all ears. Don't wait for the translation, tell me now!
Yes, we face a looming disaster ahead. The world is awash in chaos and the nuclear club is rapidly growing. A mere "charitable organizer" will not be able to stop it. Neither will his buffoonish sidekick. When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, its former Muslim nations found themselves possessing 2,730 nuclear weapons of which about 1,330 represented the tactical variety. Not all of them have been accounted for. In the old Soviet system, there were grave consequences for failure in production, so many institutions simply falsified their uranium, plutonium, and weapon devices production records. We have no way of knowing...
Add to this North Korea, Iran's ambitions, the once-destroyed-now-apparently-rebuilt Syrian nuclear facility and what we are left with is a powder keg ready to be touched off. Enter a kid with no practical experience. Perhaps this is what Joe Biden warned everyone about. In case you have not noticed, we are engaged in a culture-shattering war with radical Islamists who have attacked the United States non-stop since 1979. Twice they attacked us in New York (1993 and 2001). They will not stop and if Barack Obama believes that he can sit down and have a chat with them, well, let's just say that you can't have tea and crumpets with people who behead their adversaries for entertainment. The Red Holocaust rising upon the horizon will affect us all. Now is most definitely not the time to treat the untested as some noble knight riding in on an immaculate stallion. This Crusade is being played for keeps.
As once stated, I am not a racist. I hate everyone equally. ;o) However, I have found many people questioning this simply because I refuse to vote for Barack Obama. This is completely asinine. It is not my fault that he is black -- a person's race must never be considered for anything -- but it IS his fault that I do not like him. His actions speak far louder -- and more truthful -- than his mere words. His methodical calls for "change" do not suggest an improvement for the future, the inspiration of Americanization, or even the jumpstarting of capitalism. No, his intention is for change: Change (chaynj) v. 1. To alter; make or become different; vary. 2. To substitute. 3. To exchange.
However, the question must be asked, do you really want to alter, differentiate, substitute, or exchange America, as we know it? I doubt very much that you do. If anything, you have been preached to that the last eight years of the infamous Bush Administration is behind your need for "change" even though many other administrations in U.S. history presented their citizens with actions no less intolerable than our current example. Yet, none of our ancestors preached change as much as Senator Obama does. What could he be hiding within his platform? Why is his vision for a "better" America so secretive? Most importantly, the question needs to be addressed, if his "hope" for a better and brighter future is so damn good then why must he resort to intimidation, deceit, fraud, and the silencing of his opponents in order to achieve it?
I bolted from membership in the Democratic Party when Bill Clinton became the favorite but, damn, even Slick Willy never resorted to what this character has been guilty of. Furthermore, Bill Clinton served as governor for a number of years and, hence, there goes that fundamental rule again, held executive experience. [...] And what, might you ask, has [Obama] done (or will do) that deserves such an uncivilized characterization? Glad that you asked.
There is a red glow upon our horizon; a fire line that bodes of destruction and chaos. It is a Red Holocaust unlike anything the world has seen or will ever see again but in true Biblical fashion, many of us may not even know of its existence or its arrival until it is far too late. Some of the characteristic signs that I, and many others like me, see are:
Pro-Abortion
Barack Obama is perhaps the most abortion-friendly candidate to run for President of the United States. His desire to see little babies suffocate to death just because an act to save their lives may have had questionable political attachments is absurd. None of us would pass a stricken soul on the street just because they did not have insurance or any other legislated document so why would Obama come up with an excuse to ignore any child born alive?Anti-MilitaryThe would-be commander-in-chief of our nation's military has never, ever worn a uniform, voted to deny our forces in combat their hard-earned pay, funds for their resources, and desires for them to return home in defeat. That's not being a commander. That's not being a chief. That's merely being "in" with the liberal left who wish to see America denigrated in full view of the world. There's a word for that in the dictionary:
Treason (tree-z'n) n. 1. Sedition. 2. Treachery; betrayal.
Pro-Iranian
I don't even know where to begin with this one. For the past couple of months my class project (yep, I've returned to serious study after twenty-seven years!) has been an in-depth study of the Iran-Israel conflict and the six-inch thick (I've measured it) stack of documents next to me presents a dire view of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the ruling clerics in Tehran. Who, in their right mind, may I ask, would like to sit down across the table from Ahmadinejad and discuss anything? Barack Obama, that's who. Senator Obama wants to sit down all nice and cozy with one of the world's foremost lunatics and make play. Ahmadinejad does not want Twinkies; he wants nukes!
Anti-Israel
[...]
The point is that I know enough about my friends to care about who they are. I care about their heritage, their families, their livelihoods and, yes, by all means, their safety. This has nothing to do with Middle East politics, it's all about knowing that some maniacal monster in Iran desires to vaporize seven million people in a single flash. That's one million more than the Holocaust. I doubt very much that I'll ever be invited to Iran (unless there is a profound political change over there) but I have been invited in the past to visit Israel, even purchase some real estate there. I'd like that. I like the historical and cultural significance of the land. I just would not want to come back to my beloved United States glowing like a damn bug lamp.
Anti-Gun
Barack Obama's rating from the National Rifle Association ranks in the cellar. The sewer beneath the cellar, to be more precise. That's regarding a fundamental right of all Americans that ranks second only to free speech within the Bill of Rights. He is against handgun ownership (recently upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court as America's protection of choice), against hunting, and desires to prosecute Americans who defend their own lives. His supporters quip that he can't change such Constitutional protections -- but with a mandate in Congress, he can do as he pleases.
Anti-Religion
Let's face it, we're "One Nation under God." We have always been. There is no need to debate that fact; one only needs to tour our national monuments to discover this reality. Perhaps a tour of Arlington National Cemetery would defeat any naysayers. Regardless, Barack Obama does not profess to any religion of truth, faith, and justice. For twenty years, a hateful, anti-American preacher has indoctrinated him. That's during his adulthood. During his childhood, he had been dragged around one Muslim country after another. Any person, in my opinion, who does not believe in God should not run the "One Nation" under that deity. But that's just my opinion.
Untrustworthiness
I would like to hear from any federal employee with a Top Secret government clearance who has as tarnished a background as does the junior senator from Illinois. For the rest of you, I will "enlighten" you to the process. First, you, Joe the Fed, have to fill out documents relating to all of your acquaintances, travels, jobs, periods of unemployment, and residences (but only back to your eighteenth birthday). Then you have to go through a polygraph examination, a psychological examination, and, I did, a medical examination where they poke, prod, and pinch every square inch of your body. Next, comes the challenging part. The background investigators (in my experience, from the Department of Defense) then canvas your neighborhood, your places of employment and education and talk to everyone who knows of you. If you are a typical "new hire" this may take upwards of 12-18 months to complete. When they receive all of the data back from the people that knew you (or thought that they knew you and you them), then they bring you down into the local federal office and grill you over any discrepancies they may have found. If you have had any kind of "colorful" life, you may find yourself defending your thoughts and actions against a stack of sworn (but perhaps not honest) testimony a foot and a half thick. Now, I ask you in complete honesty, how the hell could someone with Barack Obama's tainted background gain the kind of security clearance needed by the President of the United States? Remember the movie Tora! Tora! Tora! when the character played by E.G. Marshall lamented over the removal of FDR from the "cleared" list just before Pearl Harbor was attacked simply because someone in the President's office left classified documents in the trash? What if our very president was the security breech?
Joe the Autoworker
I don't want to talk about Joe the Plumber. I want to talk about Joe the Autoworker, my late father. For decades, my dad worked his way through horribly brutal factories (not the air-conditioned "laboratory" manifestations of today). As a child, I toured these factories during the local family get-togethers and, let me tell you, an old foundry is filthy, loud, and very hot. The most that my dad ever made -- when he retired -- was 9 dollars an hour. When I was born, he was involved in a Hi-Lo (forklift) accident that tore off his heel. It happened because at the time, his workplace was horribly unkempt and dangerous. You would think that after a lifetime of paying union dues, working for the likes of Jimmy Hoffa (who once personally bailed my father out of jail when he was wrongfully arrested for what they considered to be an "illegal" strike), and voting both pro-union and pro-Democratic, they would have done more to help him. No, they didn't. The people today employed in what would be considered the closest semblance to his old position -- the unions drove most of the old factories out of business -- now make about fifty dollars an hour. My dad switched to voting for Republicans when Clinton got the nod, but still today, they swamp my mother daily with pro-Obama/anti-McCain literature paid for, in part, by his dues. Is this how unions work? "You pay us so that we can tell you how to vote"? Now they want open ballots. Puh-leaze.
The Media
Free speech has gone out through the window in this nation. While Princess Obama pays for a twenty-four-hour DISH Network channel and shells out Six Million to buy air time on the major networks, his cronies attack dissenters through the Internet and in person. They yank anti-Obama opinions off the Web, manhandle the press into supporting him unchallenged, and should I, for example, say anything hostile towards their candidate, one of their staffers will digitally manifest into several "different" opponents and hound me as if I were the Antichrist. What they don't know is that everything through the Internet can be traced, contrary to Hollywood movies and television shows. The actions of Barack Obama and his "campaign" people bring to mind only two words: [A famous mean Socialist]. If you have proof that everything that [this Evil Leader] stood for isn't being repeated in some manner by Senator Obama. I'm all ears. Don't wait for the translation, tell me now!
