This presidential election is nuts. We've got another Clinton in the mix (need I say more?), America's first black candidate (though he has more causasian ancestry than black) whose long-time reverand hates America and one of his friends is a known terrorist, and then the unlikely GOP nominee of McCain who only has one foot on the conservative side of the political spectrum. Since McCain's already locked in, let's look at Hillary instead:
Any other candidate would have gracefully bowed out months ago. Not Hillary. She must know how disliked, hated even, she is by so many people. This election is likely her only viable shot at taking home the prize, and she knows it. It's got to be this year or never.
What's amazing, that after all the stubborness she's showed by staying in the race, is the fact that her stubborness may actually pay off. If she wins big enough, she could close enough of the gap to Obama for ligitamate consideration for the nomination. Afterall, Hillary did win the traditional Democrat states, not Obama.

Celebrated Murder
I honestly believe that some not too distant day in the future, mankind will look upon the abortion of human infants in the same light as we do the Holocaust.
I hate the argument that abortion is justified because a “woman has a right over her own body.” I wholeheartedly agree with that notion but I also believe that the dominion over the life of the human baby growing in her womb is where that right ends. If women want to exercise their right to use their body how they wish, they should begin by exercising their right to keep their knees together. There is an obvious cause and effect relationship to be applied, and I am ever mystified at the way pregnant mothers can rationalize aborting their baby after they chose to have sex.
Please keep in mind that I am deigning to use the word “abortion” instead of “murder” for the sake of maintaining an air of reasonability.
Too often do we hear the argument of “what if a woman is raped and becomes impregnated from that rape?” The impersonal side of me says, “Sorry, but shit happens and just because a woman got shat upon doesn’t necessitate the killing of an innocent baby.” The empathetic side of me says, “I’m very sorry for the pain that woman is suffering, but shit happens and that baby did nothing to warrant death. Put the child up for adoption if nothing else.” Besides, I’ve known quite a few women who’ve been victims of sexual assaults and none have subsequently gotten pregnant. Is it common for pregnancies to come from rape? Somehow, I don’t think so.

ADVICE AND INFLUENCE
“…you know, Barack can get shot going to the gas station, you know.”
My first reaction to Michelle Obama’s statement is, “Well, who would shoot him and why?” Would it be an assassination attempt on a black political figure ala Medgar Evers murder by white supremacist Byron De La Beckwith? Or would it be the result of street-gang violence, maybe car-jacking a rich white guy? After all, Obama is half black and half white. So which is it Michelle, a white victim or a black victim? What was the racial implication?
“…before we can work on the problems, we have to fix our souls. Our souls are broken in this nation.”
Another beauty, courtesy of Michelle. Is this not the quintessential liberal’s attitude? In other words, we have not been properly brainwashed to the point that we embrace Marxism wholeheartedly. Sorry, but if the fact that I love the idea of the American Dream means that my soul is broken then, so be it. Question: If I work hard to provide for myself and my family and manage to pay all of my taxes, does that mean my soul is broken; or, is it the guy who refuses to work and instead collects welfare, unemployment, food stamps, charitable donations, free medical attention, etc.? I give and he takes, but my soul is broken. Interesting.
