The Case Against McCain

Bret McAtee @ 8:09 am

McCain’s pro abortion credentials were clearly seen in his votes to confirm mega abortionists Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen Beyer. No man who is pro life in any significant sense votes for judicial murderers.

Second, McCain’s culture of death credentials are clearly articulated by his support for stem cell research.

Third, abortion is crucial but in this campaign it is not the only issue worthy of consideration. McCain’s stance on granting amnesty (McCain-Kennedy) to illegal immigrants (a policy that will destroy whatever is left of the homogeneity of this country as well as whatever is left of Protestant Biblical Christian influence) should be enough to oppose McCain.

Fourth, McCain’s anti first amendment stance in McCain-Feingold should cause all thoughtful Christians to recoil by lending McCain their strength through their vote.

Fifth, McCain’s membership in the gang of 14 that stopped President Bush getting the conservative justices that Bush wanted is evidence against McCain’s sincerity on matters conservative.

Sixth, McCain’s horrid stance on the second amendment is perhaps only exceeded by B. Hussein Obama. Repeatedly, McCain’s advantage in this election is that he is the fascist leftist relative to the communist leftist Obama.

Seventh, McCain’s is a warmonger. McCain is the neo-con from Hell. If he will not get your children in the womb he will get them when they are old enough to tote a gun and die in a war. Remember also that McCain, like most modern presidents and politicians, accepts as normal and good that women are in the military and combat. This is an issue that is easily forgotten or dismissed by many Christians.

Eighth, McCain voted for the 700 billion dollar bailout indicating that he is every bit the socialist that he moans about Obama being. The difference between these two men is one of degree and not of kind.

Ninth, temperamentally McCain is a stick of dynamite just waiting to explode. His public anger outbursts are legendary. McCain is so unstable that having him in the oval office is playing Russian Roulette.

Tenth, McCain has shown contempt for the class of people here, who, despite McCain’s past contempt, insist on voting for this man. Listen people, McCain does not like the Christian crowd though he is more than happy to use them (witness Palin). When you vote for McCain you are voting for a man who thinks your an intolerant lot.

The mistake that Christians like Gary DeMar and Doug Wilson who support McCain are making is their premise that they think they can change the Republican party from the inside out. It is my estimation that if people like Gary and Doug really want to change the party then they will force the party to take them seriously by voting against the party when it strays to far from the positions that Gary and Doug fervently embrace. Gary and Doug constantly pulling Republican levers only communicates to the country club Republican power set that they can continue to hose the constituency that Gary and Doug represents.
Now, after saying all that, and realizing that either McCain or Obama will win I still prefer McCain. A true indication at how bad B. Hussein Obama really is. But my preference for McCain over the Black Nationalist Obama will not get me anywhere near yoking my strength to McCain with my vote. I will not willfully choose Hitler in order to stave off Stalin. My stance is a “pox upon both their houses.”

I will vote Baldwin and be satisfied with knowing that I have not entered into league with a despicable man. Further, I will remain convinced that Christians who vote for McCain are not yet aware what a disservice they are rendering to Jesus.

Obama Infomercial

Bret McAtee @ 8:54 pm

1) The first 10 minutes was dedicated to offsetting the damage of the Joe Plumber. A great number of “average Americans” who love B. Hussein Obama and want him for President were put on display. In my opinion this communicates that “Joe the Plumber” really hurt Obama.

2) The whole thing masked Obama’s big government creed as he sought to come across as moderate to conservative. However, if one could get past the sentimental malarkey it was clear he was big government. More on this later.

3) Fairness was a big issue in the commercial. The whole system is unfair. Subtext is that Barack is going to make it all fair. The Messiah Obama is going to come to the rescue and settle all the unfairness that people contend against. Subtle class envy.

4) B. Hussein Obama insisted that this is the worst economy since the great depression. This is the same thing that Clinton said in 1992 when he ran for President. The fact of the matter is that this economy is the worst since the Jimmy Carter years.

5) B. Hussein Obama promised that he would solve our energy problem. Said he would give money to car manufacturers in order to make cars that conserve energy and give money to those who buy those cars. This point, once cleared of the sentimental smoke, made it clear that Obama believes the government, quite contrary to the parameters of the Constitution, is responsible to involve itself in the free market.

6) B. Hussein Obama said that he is going to shrink government. What a liar. How can he shrink government when he promises that he is going to get involved with the auto industry, be responsible to make sure everybody can get a college education, and socialize the health care industry?

7) B. Hussein Obama promised to get out of Iraq. This is easier said than done. How is he going to get out of Iraq without creating a vacuum that Iran will fill -– to the point that Iran becomes a regional hegemon? Going into Iraq was a idiotic mistake but leaving Iraq in a way that Iran forms a new caliphate that stretches across the Arab world is not particularly wise.

8) My sense is that this informerical was designed to help Democrats down-ticket on the ballot. He had a great number of Democrat politicians in his infomercial.

9) His commercial was heavily weighted with white people. This was not accidental. Obama must win enough of the white vote to put him over the top. Obama can’t win with minority votes alone. Obama has to convince white people that his close and intimate alliances with Jeremiah Wright, Rashid Khalidi, Bill Ayers, and Tony Rezko aren’t characteristic of who he is. Most minorities don’t seem to care about those intimate alliances.

10) He kept focusing on families that were having a hard go of it. The message that was communicated by both the families zeroed in on and by the B. Hussein infomerical is that the federal government is responsible to bail out these families of their problems. Of course sane people know that the federal Government can’t be the one to save people from their problems. Historically all government has ever done is to screw up whatever it puts its hands to.

11) Obama went out of his way to say that his Mother used to say, “My son is an American.” This was not accidental as Obama’s citzenship is seriously in question. The reference was made quickly and quite subtly. Mentioned to make the point, but not dwelt upon to communicate insecurity. I honestly believe that B. Hussein Obama’s recent trip to Hawaii was concerned with the citizenship issue.

12) Obama promised that the government would pay for their education if students would serve as slaves to the country for a set amount of time. Obama is going to be a great friend to the National Education Teachers Association. He is going to force children to stay in government schools. That is his record.

13) Obama promised universal health care.

14) Obama is angry at insurance companies that hurt his mom while she was ill.

15) Obama read all the Harry Potter books to his daughter.

16) Obama was sold as a real family man. Another appeal to white people that he is not a wild-eyed radical.

17) Obama says, “I am my brother’s keeper.” When the government says, “I am my brother’s keeper,” it is endorsing socialism. It is not the job of the U.S. government to be the keeper of its brothers (as if the citizen is the brother to the state). The state is not the brother or father of the people. If the U.S. government’s powers are enumerated and delegated, then the U.S. government, constitutionally, has no place being its “brother’s keeper. That this idea that “the government is my brother’s keeper,” can be so blithely sold is indicative how thick the American people are regarding the role of the U.S. government according to the Constitution.

18) Democratic Senate colleagues lied through their teeth in order to try and suggest that Obama had an incredible influence on the U.S. Senate. This is recorded as abundantly not true.

19) B. Hussein Obama tried to sell himself as a tough guy who can handle the job of commander in chief.

20) Infomercial ended with people testifying on what a great guy Obama is. Tearjerker moment. Obama is the post-racial candidate. He will bring people together.

21) Final scene was live. Obama speaking about change. Big themes about how he is going to help the middle class. Hope over fear. Unity over division. We can choose our better history. This is such claptrap. Politics is the art of lying well.

22) Obama said he wouldn’t be a perfect president but that he would always tell people the truth. This is itself a lie. He hasn’t been truthful at all thus far. A liar doesn’t suddenly become someone who tells the truth. The emphasis on truth-telling in the infomerical was likely because that is an issue with focus groups.

Background in the closing speech had about ten white people and two black people in the camera shot. This is not accidental.

We will change the country and change the world. I’m sure he will if he gets the chance.

Impressions:

I’m kind of surprised. I expected more set scenes. I expected more of a context where Obama was in a presidential setting. I’m sure this will convince those already in the tank for B. Hussein Obama, but I have serious doubts that this infomercial will move the undecideds. The attempt of the infomercial was to show Obama as just an average American, fighting for the little guy. Little guys like Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, Father Pfleger, Rashid Khalidi, Tony Rezko, Frank Marshall Davis, and who knows how many other radical terrorist little guys.

Theocracy & The Pagan Left

Bret McAtee @ 10:05 am

There is always a great deal of talk about the terrible theocracy that some Christians allegedly conspire to form on the dead carcass of our present form of government. As such a great deal of energy is spent by Christians on the defensive, providing an apologetic against such trifle. Perhaps it is time to go on the offensive and locate and expose the terrible theocracy that is about to form on the dead carcass of our present form of government.

Theocracy is defined as government by the rule of God as mediated by priest-craft. Typically when we think of modern day Theocracies we think of countries like Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Qatar. Would we ever think of the federalized United States being a Theocracy?

We are currently on the cusp of turning this country into an explicit theocracy where the God is the State with the priest-craft being those who are the representatives of the State. As proof for this I offer the reality that in classical theology it is always the right of a God to own everything (The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof) and His prerogative to distribute what He owns as He pleases (God gives them their food in due season). Clearly, we are about to empower legislators and an executive that believes that the State owns everything and as such has the prerogative to re-distribute what the State (god) owns as it (he) pleases. It is the pagan left that is turning this country into an explicit theocracy.

Also in classical theology children belong to the god. This is why in pagan theology it was not uncommon to see people render up their children to god by way of sacrifice. There can be little doubt that the State (god) has for decades believed that children belong to the State. The State, as god, has so much believed this that it has taken it upon itself to insist that its priest-craft (representatives) alone are qualified to teach the state’s children. If the pagan left is re-empowered in this election cycle we can be sure that it will pursue further legislation to force all people to bring the state’s children to the State temples in order that they may be catechized into the state religion that teaches that “in the state they live and move and have their being.” It is the pagan left that is turning this country into an explicit theocracy.

One more piece of evidence is seen in the fact that in ancient theology there were blasphemy laws prohibiting certain speech – sometimes on penalty of death. If the pagan left is re-empowered in this election cycle we already know that the priest-craft of the State is going to pursue legislation that prohibits certain kind of speech (think “fairness doctrine” and newly empowered “hate speech” legislation). The State as god through its pagan priest-craft is going to make sure that neither the god (state) or its priest-craft is spoken against. It is the pagan left that is turning this country into an explicit theocracy.

For our purposes here one thing that is true of the God in classical theology is His desire for justice. In classical theology God defines what justice is and is wrathful against injustice. Once again with the empowerment of the pagan left we are going to see a state that is taking the place of god. It will be the State that defines what justice is, with its mad pursuit of egalitarian notions of social justice, and further it will be the state, as god, through its priest-craft, who will be wrathful against injustice as it defines injustice. It is the pagan left that is turning this country into a explicit theocracy.

The pagan left, which so earnestly desires its own form of theocracy, screams against the bogey man of Christian theocracy, but only so that it may more artfully pursue its own pagan theocratic plans. Pagan theocracy advances its theocratic aspirations by offering themselves as those who desire to deliver America from the clutches of evil Christian theocracy.

Should American voters really desire to escape Theocracy they need to realize that the pagan left is the greatest threat to explicit theocracy that they are currently facing.

Critiquing Noonan

Bret McAtee @ 5:31 am
Peggy Noonan is a gifted writer. Unfortunately she is also a Republican elitist who, like so many of her “inside the beltway media” friends, thinks that the problem with Palin is her lack of intelligence.

http://www.peggynoonan.com/

Noonan was against Palin from the beginning as this youtube clip reveals.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyN9UG2og_U

The problem with Noonan isn’t that she is wrong about Palin’s lack of knowledge, experience or familiarity with some basic core political philosophy. I’ve been making these same observations since shortly after Palin was nominated. I think Noonan is spot on in that analysis.

No, the problem with Noonan, in the true spirit of elitism, is that she seems to think that Palin, because of these deficiencies could perform any worse as a leader of America then most of the leaders that are currently running this country who have the knowledge, experience and familiarity with some basic core political philosophy which Peggy thinks is so important.

The point here is that the elitist experts running the country have bollixed things up royally, and this despite their so called “expertise,” which Noonan seems to believe is currently present in our leaders. Given how bollixed things are in the political realm, the question has to be asked if, ‘it is even possible that Sarah Palin could do any worse then those whom the elitist Noonan fawns over so readily.’ For that matter, I seriously wonder if the special education class at the local government school could perform any worse then Peggy’s “experts” who have been leading us.

Noonan, essentially makes the case that Palin is a novice who has no business being in the world of high stakes political leadership. In a normal world I would agree, but from where I’m sitting in the cheap seats the current parade of fools that we style leaders, couldn’t possibly be underperformed – not even by someone with the name of Forrest Gump.

So the fact that Palin’s isn’t qualified, is no reason to take Noonan’s warning seriously. We are awash in unqualified people (including former speech writers making their careers in journalism) serving as our leaders. What difference could it possibly make if a unqualified commoner were elected versus an unqualified elitist?

The ship of state is being run by fools. When such a situation obtains it hardly matters which fool, elitist or commoner, is serving as Captain of the Ship.

The American Populace And Socialism

Bret McAtee @ 7:27 am

“When you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”

B. Hussein Obama
Comment To Joe the Plumber

A Rasmussen report informs us,

44% Of Americans agree with Obama’s statement that affirms Karl Marx’s statement “from each according to their ability to each according to their need.”

Now this is interesting given that 40% of Americans don’t pay income taxes. That 40% are the beneficiaries of having the wealth spread around.

________________________________________

Sixty-three percent (63%) of voters under 30 agree with Obama’s statement affirming Marx’s “from each according to their ability to each according to their need.”

Now this is interesting because it tells us that the enstupidification process that is the government schools has been a bang up success.
____________________________________

Sixty-nine percent (69%) of Democrats think their candidate is right.

This is interesting, if only because it informs us, as I’ve been saying for 30 years, that the Democratic party is in reality the international socialist (communist) party. This is reinforced by how they have created class envy,

A majority of those who earn less than $40,000 a year agree with Obama about spreading the wealth around, while most of those who earn more than that disagree. Entrepreneurs are strongly opposed while a slight plurality of government employees agree.

Look, I shouldn’t have to say this but for you Morons out there who believe that spreading the wealth around is good you need to ask yourself how long producers of wealth will keep producing wealth if their hard work of wealth production results in their wealth being taken from them to give to you lazy Morons. Sooner or later those wealth producers are going figure that it would be easier to join you riding in the wagon then out in front pulling the wagon for your parasitic existence.

For you Christians that believe that socialism is a perfectly acceptable form of government that Christians should support, allow me to inform you that socialism is a system that steals God’s sovereignty in order to invest it in the state. Socialist systems teach and believe that in the state we live and move and have our being. The State is our provider, or protector, and our omnipotent caretaker. Further, socialist systems are completely predicated upon violating the 8th commandment, stealing from those who work hard producing wealth, in order to redistribute that wealth. The effect of this redistribution of wealth is to shrink the pie of wealth as people lose incentive to create wealth. The consequences of this is not the raising up of people without wealth to wealth, but rather the pulling down of people with wealth to the status of not having wealth. Equality is achieved but it is the equality of the miserable.

My fellow Americans, in the name of all that is excellent, do you realize that by embracing socialism you are embracing the canker worm, the end of opportunity, and the end of freedom? Does it not matter to you that with the embrace of socialism you are embracing slavery?

My people perish for lack of knowledge.

Socialists Everywhere

Bret McAtee @ 3:13 pm

One of the major points of Jim Powell’s book, “FDR’s Folly: How Roosevelt and His New Deal Prolonged the Great Depression” is the inability of the Roosevelt administration to bring recovery to the stagnant 1930’s economy through legislative reform. According to Powell, much of what perpetuated the Depression was the desire of the socialists, marxists, and democrats (forgive me for my redundancy) of the FDR administration to completely reform American capitalism so that it was some kind of version of European socialism.

One of the big mistakes of the Hoover / Roosevelt administrations during this time was the attempt to redistribute wealth through increased taxation. The problems with this approach is that in the Great Depression the wealth had largely evaporated and there wasn’t wealth to redistribute. What the Great Depression needed was policy that would encourage the creation of wealth. The effect of increased taxation was to take money out of people’s pockets in the attempt to “reform” the American economy. This made it extra difficult for the American economy to recover.

The reason this historical awareness is important is that this increase in taxation at a time when the American economy is in the tank is what is being proposed the Democratic party. Obama is on record as supporting wealth redistribution as was seen in his saying that it his desire to “spread the wealth around.” This is classic Marxist speak, “from ‘Joe The Plumber’ according to his ability, to each according to his need.”

Readers need to realize that the worst thing that can possibly be done in a declining economy is to increase taxation, which is what Obama is promising when he says that he is going to cut the taxes of 95% of the people.

Before one understands Barack Obama’s tax plan, one must understand the difference between a tax cut and a subsidy. A tax cut is when someone makes money and the government allows that person to keep more of the money that was earned by that individual. A subsidy is when the government takes from one person to give to someone else. Many people in the mainstream media use the terms interchangeably, even though there are major differences between the two.

Presently, the bottom 40% of income earners pay zero income taxes. The top 20% pay 80% of all the federal income taxes. Therefore, it is not possible to give the bottom 40% a tax cut because they pay no money to the government. So this begs the question: How is Barack Obama proposing to give a tax cut to 95% of Americans?

The truth is that he is not going to give a tax cut to most Americans; it is not possible. Instead, he is going to give welfare subsidy to the bottom 40%. This subsidy Obama is calling a ‘tax cut,’ but in reality it is a tax increase in an attempt to redistribute wealth.

However, the problem is that the Republican candidate is likewise offering socialistic solutions in the time of a desperate economy. McCain’s proposal that the Federal Government buy up bad mortgages is disastrous. Home ownership is no more an American right then is health care and the government guaranteeing bad decisions on purchased homes penalizes those who didn’t make bad decisions on home purchases. In point of fact, McCain’s proposal on buying bad mortgages with a view to negotiating mortgages downwards is an incentive for all of those who are paying mortgages to suddenly discover they can’t afford their mortgages. McCain’s proposal is socialist insanity.

What our economy needs is for the State to get out of the way but what each of the major candidates offer are ideas that are sure to slow down the hope of economic recovery.

What This Campaign Reduces To

Bret McAtee @ 9:37 pm

This link provides the final exclamation mark on a theory I’ve been considering for quite some time. That theory is that the major supportive infrastructure in Obama’s campaign for President is racial.

When you combine the information in the article above with who is predominately behind ACORN’s activities and with who most abused the sub-prime mortgage mess it becomes the case that only someone committed to not seeing the underlying realities could not see that this election is about the division between traditional White America and Black Marxist America. This is not to say that many white people have not helped in the destruction of their people. Some people like Bill Ayers, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, and others have chosen their ideology (Cultural Marxism) above their race and ethnicity. You don’t have to be black to hate white people and traditional white culture. Other white people, like those people who will vote for Obama choose their candidates like they choose their toothpaste. In short they are too stupid to realize that the ascendancy of Obama means the ascendancy of non-white peoples and their pagan Marxism above white peoples and their typical stupidity. This will be the triumph of cultural Marxism where the “oppressed” people of color, and the “oppressed” people of perversion unite to attain victory over white people and white Christianity.

The triumph of Obama will mean redistribution of wealth, which in turn means great largess for minorities. Obama will grant amnesty to illegal aliens and make borders disappear. Obama will embrace global warming policies which have at their core the idea of redistributing America’s wealth to the non-western, non-white world.

Another piece of evidence I see for this is the oft-repeated idea that Bush should be tried for war crimes. Now, don’t get me wrong–it may be very possible that Bush is guilty of war crimes, but the purpose of this will not be primarily to prosecute the lawlessness of Bush but it will be to communicate to the non-white people of the world that America is now on their side. A Bush trial will be a trial of white America and the crimes of Bush will be the crimes of white America and the conviction of Bush would be the conviction of white America.

Obama’s promise to meet with rogue dictators fits perfectly into this theory. The rogue dictators, in Obama’s world, are only rogue because of how the evil white Western world has oppressed them.

It should be understood that it is the Obama support network that has turned this into what amounts to be a race election. They are the ones who are dividing people by means of black Marxist political theory cited in Kurtz’s article above and the black Christianity of James Cone and Jeremiah Wright. What I am doing here is just observing objective facts.

My observations will be accused of being racist but only in order to deflect from the racist and Marxist character of Obama’s campaign. That racist character has been seen time and time again as every objection raised to Obama along the way has elicited charges of “racism.” This is the ploy of the Marxist.

The unfortunate thing is that white America so much wants racial issues to be finished that they will refuse to see the racial dynamic that the Obama campaign has foisted upon the electorate.
