Democrat Reporter Admits Democrats Caused Crisis

Check out this article by Orson Scott Card where he claims the democrats are responsible for the housing crisis ... and that there is a liberal media cover up. Card himself claims to be a democrat.

Also check out the following article by our latest contributor, Lady Lavendar.

UPDATE: Here is the AP article admitting the media was biased. I think there's a reuters one around also.

Color Blind?

I am not young and I've lived through quite a few presidential elections but this is the most unusual one of all. Since the early nineties, our country seems to be more divided with each four year cycle. This year there was no conservative candidate to lead a very disillusioned conservative base. John McCain is a good and honorable man but he can only be described as centrist. Of course that is until he is compared to the Democratic candidate to whom the label, socialist seems to be applied more and more often and actually sticking.

For a long time now, conservatives have considered many liberal policies to be socialist at their core but this is the first election in which the term socialism has actually been uttered. Sadly, it is the actions of the Republican president now in office that has brought this to the fore. It is the bailout bill and the recent nationalizing of banks that has created this atmosphere and it is an atmosphere of fear. I haven't talked to many who fear recession (we can survive it) and their top concern is not even all of the money they have recently lost in the stock market. The people I talk to are concerned about losing their financial freedoms and the death of the free market. No one knows what the government might do next and I am also very apprehensive about what may be America's future.

This is now the back-drop for this very unusual, socially groundbreaking election. This puts Barack Obama in an entirely new light and it seems to have a green cast that is foreboding. He is an unusual candidate not because of his race but because of a background which people seem reluctant to fully discuss because of his race. It is strange to have an American candidate with his own symbol which has also been morphed into the presidential seal. It is unnerving to have a candidate that some refer to as a Messiah and do so seriously. It is more than unsettling to hear Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr. state that a book should be added to the Bible about Barack Obama. It is surreal to visit sites online that elevate him to the level of messiah and watch hitleresque videos of children in the U.S. and around the world singing praises to Obama. Given the current backdrop, this unusual following, and his rapid rise in the Democratic party, I can't find anything in our history that compares to Barack Obama. I am reluctant to fully voice the historical comparisons that do seem to fit.

I believe Barack Obama is also the most unknown and most inexperienced candidate to ever run for the office of President of the U.S.A. He surely is the least known, most inexperienced candidate of my lifetime. Because of this, I have spent some time online researching who this man is and learning more has not diminished any of my uneasy feelings. Instead, I am more apprehensive than ever about this man being elected President of the United States. I never would vote for someone who is so morally and fiscally liberal as he but I have never feared the possibility of my country not surviving the election of a liberal candidate the way I do fear the possible outcome of this election now. Recently, I have come to know that there are serious reasons to doubt that he is even a natural born citizen and he won't even produce the documents necessary to prove this. There is a lawsuit against him in Pennsylvania asking him to do just that but it is being heard by a liberal judge who is postponing discovery until after the election. I know it is possible to read anything on the net but I am 98.5% sure that this is legitimate even though the news media has, for the most part, ignored this lawsuit and the question it raises. I would encourage everyone who reads this to check it out for themselves at ObamaCrimes.com and make their own assessment. This is the website of the Democrat bringing this case to court against Obama and the DNC. He is a past deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania with good standing in the Democratic party.

I know that by my daring to voice what many are whispering, I run the risk of being called a racist. I can only say that when I first heard of Barack Obama running for president that I was nothing but proud of my country. I felt blessed, and still do, to have been able to witness the Civil Rights movement in the sixties and also see those old prejudices put down to the point of a black man possibly holding the highest office in the land. I am very disappointed that he does not seem to be of the same caliber as that man who stood up and led the Civil Rights Movement and also died as a result of having the courage to stand up against the wrongs perpetrated against his people. If Martin Luther King Jr. were alive today, I think he would be concerned about the character of this individual also. I know that there are many black men and women out there who are of the caliber of Martin Luther King Jr. but I fear that Barack Obama is not one of them. We should never choose to vote against a candidate because of his color; and neither should we elect one because of his color and our guilt about our country's history. If we are still so prejudice as to vote in either of these two ways, then we will deserve the president that we elect. My hope is that Americans will rise above and truly judge each candidate on the content of their character,(I can still hear Martin Luther King, Jr. speaking as he dreamed of such a day in America) having done all possible to be able to discern that character, and elect the candidate who will be the best steward of this country that so many of us love.

May God not only bless America but preserve her. May he enable the American people to not be blinded by the color of any candidate's skin but to be truly color blind and vote accordingly in this crucial election.

Excerpts from Dreams From My Fathers

I heard these excerpts from Dreams From My Fathers on the radio yesterday. I was shocked and alarmed that this man seems so close to the presidency!

OBAMA: It's just how white folks will do you. It wasn't just the cruelty involved, I was learning that black people could be mean and then some. It was a particular brand of arrogance, an obtuseness in otherwise sane people that brought forth our better laughter. It was as if whites didn't know they were being cruel in the first place or at least thought you deserving of their scorn.

OBAMA: So I read the book to help me understand what it is that makes white people so afraid, their demons, the way ideas get twisted around. It helps me understand how people learn to hate.

OBAMA: The point I was making was not that my grandmother, uh, harbors any, uh, racial animosity. She doesn't. But she is, uh, a typical white person who if she sees somebody on the street that she doesn't know, you know, there's a reaction that's bred into our experiences that -- that doesn't go away and that sometimes come out in -- in the wrong way.

OBAMA: The emotions between the races could never be pure. Even love was tarnished by the desire to find in the other some element that was missing in ourselves. Whether we sought out our demons or our salvation, the other race would always remain just that: menacing, alien, and apart.

The problem I have with these passages is that he lumps all white people together into one (inherently evil) category. According to Obama the value a white person has in life is not a matter of the way he or she chooses or behaves. It is a matter of the color of his or her skin at birth. And no one gets to choose their skin color at birth.

Obama claims to be against racism, and that's fine with me. I don't understand how he can advance that cause through racism and bigotry. If he really does care about the demons that people carry inside them, he should not be looking at the outward appearances. Demons don't choose their hosts that way, and skin color does not give them any right to be in anyone's life.

Instead he ought to focus on things like anxiety, phoniness, hypocrisy, and self-deception. The things the government cannot assist anyone with except to make the problem worse.
