Palin v. Obama? You Betcha!
This has to be the most brilliant Machiavellian strategy I have ever encountered. I so want to discover that it is her idea, which she is floating through Joseph Farah, the editor of World Net Daily:
If Sarah Palin ran as a Republican candidate in a crowded field, she might win. Then again, she might not. She would be a late entry. Much of the big money needed to win is already committed. She would add some excitement to the GOP race, but she might not stand out all that much.
Only one Republican is going to get to face off with Barack Obama in 2012, and I can hardly count the number of contenders for that opportunity right now. She’d be a frontrunner for sure, but her tea-party base is already eyeing other candidates.
However, there is something Sarah Palin could do right now that would be truly radical – and, at the very least, bloody Barack Obama so badly he wouldn’t have a hope of beating the Republican nominee.
What’s that?
Brace yourself for a crazy idea.
Sarah Palin should reregister as a Democrat and announce her intention of seeking the Democratic Party nomination in 2012 over Barack Obama!
Go read the the whole article and then add the following data to your thoughts about it:
The Setup Is In
As I predicted before the 2010 elections, the Obamanation is setting up the GOP so he has something to run against next year. Now, in true Obamanation fashion, he has proposed a “jobs plan” that the GOP should oppose. Now, they are pinned to the wall. If they support this nonsense, they lose much of their base and most independents. Ergo, the GOP loses in 2012. If they oppose this nonsense, as they should, Obama will run against the “party of no”, claiming that he had the answer and the GOP blocked it. Most of the lame brains will buy this. Ergo, the GOP loses.
The GOP had their one big chance with the opportunity to refuse to raise the debt ceiling, thus putting the Obamanation behind the eight ball. But, lacking balls of any denomination, they blew it. Now, they get to reap their reward.
The re-election of the Obamanation will be the end of America. And, the GOP had the chance to change things.
Think about it.

Budgetary Clowns
Mike Henning made an blog entry on FreedomTorch, which is elegant in its simplicity:
• U.S. Tax revenue: $2,170,000,000,000
• Fed budget: $3,820,000,000,000
• New debt: $ 1,650,000,000,000
• National debt: $14,271,000,000,000
• Recent budget cut: $ 38,500,000,000Now let’s remove 8 zeros and pretend it’s a household budget.
• Annual family income: $21,700
• Money the family spent: $38,200
• New debt on the credit card: $16,500
• Outstanding balance on the credit card: $142,710
• Total budget cuts: $385
This is clownish tomfoolery. Should we laugh, or cry? Shoot ourselves, or shoot them? If you have the slightest inclination to vote for an incumbent next year, you are part of the problem in this circus. ◄Dave►
Rearranging Prejudices
I have always prided myself on having a remarkably open mind, which I use for critical thinking to form my own opinions, rather than blindly accepting those of so-called experts and conventional wisdom. Once formed this way, I can and do defend my opinions with zeal; but I always try to keep my mind open to the possibility of error in my judgment, and new data that challenges the validity of what I think I know. Thus, when someone with a cogent argument forces me to reevaluate a long-held belief, rather than dogmatically being stuck on stupid, I am quite willing to admit my error and rearrange my prejudices.
Regular readers will know that I take a back seat to no one regarding the Obamunist being ineligible for the office of POTUS, on the grounds that he is not a natural born citizen (NBC). Since the first time I heard that he was born a subject of the British Empire, I have been ranting and railing on the subject, and when he was elected, I promised the issue would not go away. It hasn’t, and won’t; nor should it.
Paving The Way For An Obama Victory
From the Internet:
Bachmann: Hurricane and earthquake are messages from God to cut spending
With a single, air-headed phrase, Congresswoman Bachmann has shown herself to be totally unfit for the office of POTUS.
Sometimes frontrunner Rick “Good Hair” Perry similarly disqualified himself with his recent bible-pounding show at Reliant Stadium.
It is a simple fact that the combination of people on the dole, government employees, and union members give the democrat candidate over 40% of the vote, assuming most of the people in these categories show up at the voting booth. In other words, the democrat base is huge.
By contrast, the GOP base is quite small (and shrinking). It does not require the mind of an Einstein to figure out that the only way a GOP candidate can make it to office is by appealing to the libertarians and independents.

Air Force Zero
AF General: “Sir, we have succeeded in creating a cloaking device for Air Force One.”
Obama: “No way!”
AF General: “That’s right, Sir. It will now be invisible.”
Obama: “This I have to see.”
AF General: “Certainly, Sir. Would you like to come along on its maiden flight?”
Obama: “I wouldn’t miss it for the world!”
AF General: “Have a good trip, Sir.”
Amnesty by Fiat
Gov. Jan Brewer has been censored by Facebook, and has asked that her message be propagated. I am happy to oblige:
After I posted the following statement and photo yesterday, Facebook censored the post and removed it because the photo apparently violated their “Facebook Community Standards.” Before it was removed, it had received over 10,000 likes and comments.Regardless, I’m reposting the photo and statement. I think many of you will agree with me – - Obama’s backdoor amnesty plan violates American standards of following the rule of law and the US Constitution.
Please click “like” and share with your friends.
The Obama administration cannot get its amnesty schemes through Congress, so now it has resorted to implementing its plans via executive fiat. There’s simply no other description for today’s announcement that the federal government will not pursue the deportation of individuals who are in the country illegally but meet certain criteria.
Uh Oh!

There Is No Gulch, But…
In Atlas Shrugged, John Galt talked the leaders of production into joining him in a hidden place called Galt’s Gulch, where they could be free of government plunder.
We know that such a place is impractical, if not impossible, given current technology. In other words, an alternate society cannot simply hide in plain view via some electronic cloaking device, said device not yet being practical.
But, that does not mean that the leaders of production can’t organize some manner of “strike”. I believe it has already started. It is true that all of them are still running productive firms. Yet, they refuse to expand their operations – many having scaled down to a level of high productivity, using the fewest number of workers, such that they can remain profitable. And, what do they do with those profits? For many of them, the ones I consider to be almost on strike, the answer is nothing. That is, they just let the profits accumulate. No investments in expansion (after all, what for?), little funding for new innovation. Instead, they have tucked the money away are are just waiting. Possibly trying to out-wait the government, refusing to expand operations until the government comes to its senses and gets off their collective backs.

Invisible Government
Troy’s comment to my Gonzo Journalism article caused me to remember a book I read years ago, entitled “Invisible Government.” I couldn’t recall the author or even how long ago it had been written, so I googled it. It produced two extraordinary documents that I just had to share here.
The first, is in the CIA’s own library! Since the 1964 book posited that there was a segment of the CIA running amuck, without adult supervision, they naturally reviewed it in a confidential memo. It was declassified in 1995, and begins:
CONFIDENTIALRecent Books: Visible
THE INVISIBLE GOVERNMENT. By David Wise and Thomas B. Ross. (New York: Random. 1964. 375 pp. $5.95.)
The journalist-authors of this best-seller admit that Communist subversion and espionage pose a unique threat to the American people and their government, and they accept the necessity under certain circumstances for secret American efforts to prevent Moscow and Peking from gaining new allegiances. But they profess to believe that our secret attempts to meet the Communist challenge constitute so real a threat to our own freedoms that they must be exposed in as detailed and dramatic a way as possible. If the Soviets are profiting from these revelations, as they are, -Vise and Ross apparently think that such self-inflicted wounds must be endured in the battle against excessive secrecy.
Nature’s Last Paradise
Following a link on Drudge about a bride watching her new husband being killed by a shark, I was surprised to find it happened in the Seychelles Islands. While tragic, to say the least, I was amused to read the spin of the Seychelles authorities, saying sharks were rare and that the most common species there was the harmless plankton eating whale shark. I just happen to know better.
I lived in the Seychelles as a young man for two years back in ’67/’68, while working on an American satellite tracking station once located there on Mahe. We called it “Nature’s Last Paradise,” because there was no airport and thus no tourist trade. It was not at all uncommon to be the only human on a mile long pure white sand beach. Diving was my prime hobby and I was as close as it got to a dive shop on the island, as I owned the only air compressor for filling SCUBA tanks, except for the time Jacques Cousteau visited us with the M/V Calypso. Funny… I haven’t thought about that episode, which seemed rather significant at the time, in many years…
Gonzo Journalism
Well, well, well… welcome to my world. How many remember the name Tim Adams? The election clerk from Hawaii, who revealed that it is an open secret among Hawaii election officials that there is no record of Obama being born in a hospital there? It turns out he is bent libertarian, is as cynical of the system as I am, is an English major working on his Masters, and his initial revelation was made during an undercover experiment in ‘gonzo journalism,’ to investigate what he considered to be a racist organization. LMAO 
Here is his Master’s theses, which I reckon is a must read for anyone seriously interested in this controversy:
Adams, Timothy Lee, “Discourse and Conflict: The President Barak H. Obama Birth Certificate Controversy and the New Media” (2011). Masters Theses & Specialist Projects. Paper 1071.

Economics 101
The other day, I was listening to the radio as I drove to a nearby town. I was only half listening until I realized a reporter was interviewing a member of congress whose name I missed. This congressman was explaining that, now that the debt ceiling crisis was behind us, it was time for both parties in congress to work together to start creating jobs.
Are these morons really that stupid? The average American clearly understands that the only jobs government can create are government jobs. And, we most certainly don’t need more of those. As well, I have just re-read my copy of the Constitution and I see nary a word authorizing the federal government to create jobs. Certainly government has a role in the free enterprise system:
→ It is tasked with maintaining a stable currency. Current grade, F-.
→ It is tasked with creating and enforcing rules, such as contract law, patent protections and the like. Current grade, C.
→ It is tasked with establishing regulations that prevent states and nations from preying on each other through unfair and unethical trade practices. Current grade, D.
What should government be doing right now? I will answer that with an oversimplified view of our economic system.
To begin with, our economic system has two principal groups of actors: Makers and Takers.
WTP-04 Obot vs WTP Debate Over
While it must have done wonders for his stats, Bernie Goldberg probably tired of his 7/21 column remaining at the top of his “Most Popular” widget after three weeks. It appears that the “Devilish Questions” Obots vs WTP (we the people) debate has been terminated, after spawning 2165 comments. One wonders how much attention Bernie paid to the debate; but he must feel at least a little uncomfortable for not following up on his “experiment,” as he had implied that he would after readers answered his survey questions. A good many have expressed their disappointment that he has yet to do so.
An initially reluctant, yet eventually enthusiastic participant in the spirited debate, while I was trying (and failing) to get Bernie’s attention for the plan of action described in my “Support and Defend” essay, I learned much and my thinking evolved considerably. I have abandoned all hope that any Federal judges or politicians will ever honor their oaths to our Constitution, and honestly address the issue of Obama’s ineligibility for the office he usurped. Thus, I now recommend that WTP focus our efforts primarily at discrediting Obama for posterity, and openly showing our contempt for him at every opportunity, rather than buy into the notion that we need to “show respect for the office” he occupies. Rubbish.
Any Way You Look At It, You Lose
Obviously, this is a line from the famous “Here’s to you, Mrs. Robinson” from the movie The Graduate (no relation). The statement is made in reference to listening to presidential candidates debate.
I watched as much of the latest GOP debate as I could stomach, and, I came away convinced that NONE of these people, including late entry Rick Perry, represents the solution to the massive problems this nation faces.
I like Dr. Ron Paul a lot and I especially appreciate his ongoing efforts to inject some rationality into the national dialogue. But I know he is not about to become president and I go so far as to doubt that he should. Despite being so right on so many issues, Dr. Paul lacks the leadership style that the situation demands -and- he lacks executive experience.
New Words To An Old Children’s Song
The prices on the market go up and down
up and down, up and down
the prices on the market go up and down
day after day.
This is almost comical. It is like a herd of animals, caught between a range fire and a cliff. The fire scares them, they stampede toward the cliff — then the cliff scares them and they stampede toward the fire — then… and so on.
Meanwhile, the brokers are laughing all the way to the bank because they make their $$ off trading volume no matter which direction prices are headed.
I just wonder how long this can continue.
One is reminded of the fellow who got so confused he did not know whether to crap or go blind. So he closed one eye and farted. This makes about as much sense.

Violence in the United Kingdom
Please pay very close attention to what is happening in the UK because it is the fate that awaits us. And, Obama can hardly wait for it to begin because it would supply the long awaited excuse to spring the dictatorship trap via a declaration of martial law. The greater the chance that Obama might lose the 2012 election, the more pressure on him to declare martial law before that election.
I wonder if participating in all those wars and having so many troops stationed overseas is partly calculated to have them out of the continental United States so that they will be unable to help WTP once the dung hits the whirligig?

WTP-03 Deconstructing Obama
The Obot vs. Birther debate continues apace on Bernie Goldberg’s site, where newcomers are always welcome to help the Obots to earn their paychecks. Interestingly, there aren’t any real traditional birthers among the currently active protagonists. None of us much cares where he was born; it is the frauds he is perpetrating trying to conceal his ineligibility that has most folks upset. For me, of course, the issue remains, “Born a Brit – Not Legit,” wherever that may have occurred. I reckon that to be an outrage against our Constitution that we must not let stand.
I received a lame response to the post I shared in WTP-01, where we were discussing Jack Cashill‘s devastating book, “Deconstructing Obama: The Life, Loves, and Letters of the First Postmodern President (Which I highly recommend). I refer to it as the ‘prosecutor’s case file’ in the analogy I was using to try to get through to this Obot legal beagle wannabe, whereby Cashill is the prosecutor, ‘bob’ is the defense lawyer, and we the readers (WTP) are the jury. Don’t miss the last block quoted book review. He describes Obama as well as I have ever seen it done. The case continues:
