As the presidential election heats up, Obama maintains a 5 point lead against
McCain. This, despite new revelations about
improper foreign money flowing into
the Obama campaign.
The drive-by media is doing its part to foster Obamania, and so is Paris, where
Obama fashions were
featured on the catwalks.
A new Obama video
is making the rounds. It features young children in lockstep, singing
the praise of Dear Obama. When comparisons were made to North Korea and Hitler's
Germany, YouTube yanked the video. Now comes another chilling Obama 'Youth Video', this time with teens in uniforms,
marching and proclaiming that "because of Obama" they will achieve various accomplishments.
You Tube also yanked a video which outlined in
very simple terms the fact that the Democrats are largely responsible for the financial
crisis which dominated the headlines last week. More info in this week's article,
'Dangerous Videos'.
GOOD NEWS:
It did this conservative's heart good to see Barney Frank
get a good spanking when he appeared on the O'Reilly Factor. That was the
first time he has been held to account. Hopefully, not the last.
The GOP is finally taking off the gloves, as evidenced by
their new commercial wherein
they target Dems for obstructing reforms that could have prevented last week's financial
meltdown.
It appears most Americans aren't being taken in by cheap soundbites and soaring
rhetoric. 74% of American adults
have no confidence that our nation's policy makers
know what they're doing.
A new survey shows that
59% of voters agree
with Reagan's statement, "Government is not the solution to our problem; government
is the problem." And Rasmussen reports that if they could vote to keep or replace
the entire Congress, 59% of voters
would like to throw them all out and start over
again.
On the immigration front,
more than 1,000 illegals who ignored deportation orders
or returned to the US after being deported were arrested in a California immigration
sweep.
Arrests of illegals along the border
fell for the second year in a row. And money
sent back to Mexico from Mexicans living in the US
dropped by 12%, the largest drop
on record since the Bank of Mexico began tracking.
Meanwhile, in Iraq, U.S. forces said they
shot dead the leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq.
Progress continues, even if not reported by the old media.

CULTURE:
A US space company has become
the first private venture to successfully blast a
rocket into earth's orbit. No government money was needed.
New software for mobile phones can now estimate a person's carbon footprint.
The top member of the Nobel Award jury believes the US is
too insular and ignorant
to compete with Europe when it comes to writing. This, from the jury that awarded
algore a Nobel peace prize. I'm smiling.
Speaking of great writing, the front page of Amazon.com shows that conservative
books are outselling liberal books by a wide margin. No wonder liberals don't like
free markets.
Now appearing on cigarette packs in Britain
Across the pond, another effort by the government to socially engineer behavior
took effect Wednesday. Smokers in the UK will now be
confronted with gruesome images
whenever they buy a pack of cigarettes.
The UK is experiencing
white flight as 75,000 white British men and women are leaving
the country every year. Britain's population is still rising, however, because of
an influx of ethnic minorities. Has England been conquered from within?
GENDER AND FAMILY:
A judge has
ruled in favor of a woman who sought parental rights to a boy and girl
adopted by her former same-sex partner, a decision described as a first for Montana.
San Francisco's street fair celebration of leather and bondage |
A new estimate by the CDC places the number of Americans infected with the AIDS
virus at 1.1 million. US immigration
officials announced moves to ease and speed
up visa-processing for HIV-positive visitors to the US.
They held the
world's biggest celebration of leather, bondage and sexual fetish
in San Francisco last Sunday.
The culture wars may appear to have been lost but at least conservatives had one
small victory. The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that
sex with dead bodies is banned. It was a 5 - 2 decision.
Sigh. Oh, and in Iowa, the state's attorney general
asked the Iowa Supreme Court
to review a judge's ruling that nude dancing is a legal art form.
Eye jewellry
ESSENTIAL TRIVIA:
In the frenzy to come up with something new and different one designer has
created
a line of jewellery which is intended to be worn on the eye.
IDIOT OF THE WEEK:
We have a clear winner in this week's awards. By far, the biggest idiot of the week
has to be:
Green Party presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney, who was caught on video accusing the U.S. Department of Defense
of executing 5,000 prisoners Chinese-style and dumping their bodies in a Louisiana
swamp. Maybe she's just off her meds.
Due to the proliferation of idiots and idiocy, RightBias now publishes the Top Idiots
Of The Week Awards. For this week's idiot awards,

Till next Monday, keep smiling
