I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal." I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character... With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together...to stand up for freedom together.... This will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with a new meaning, "My country, 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim's pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring...." When we let freedom ring, when we ...

He's confident he'll win. He says it everywhere. The only way he CAN win legally is by a miracle. A BIG miracle. Why so confident? Well maybe he knows something we don't. The only way he wins is by fraud.

According to a network member at a recent appearance in Everett, WA, Ms. Sarah seems to be a part of the USGAPN. That would be the US Global Apostolic Prayer Network . She's a warrior against Satan. According to their Spiritual Warfare Matrix , you can see that MSM and the blogosphere are feeding into her world view of a war against Satan and his dark forces. Every attack from the media confirms her position and reinforces her beliefs. Here is the mission she believes is underway: If the devil ever utters a truth, he does so only that you would believe the lie. Scary. Here's something from Mark Twain, who loved Satan BTW: Satan must have been pretty simple, even according to the New Testament, or he wouldn't have led Christ up on a high mountain and offered him the world if he would fall down and worship him. That was a manifestly absurd proposition, because Christ, as the Son of God, already owned the world; and besides, what Satan showed him was only a few rocky acres of ...

If bin Laden gave Lady Liberty the ruffie, then Cheney and his frat brothers gang raped her. She needs some therapy. This is tragic, but she will recover in time. I heard Thomas Friedman say on Real Time with Bill Maher: "America is the straw that stirs the world's drink. If we go dark, the world goes dark."

I found this on Slog.

Obama met Ayres in the 1990s through an Annenberg foundation board, a well-accepted Chicago academic institution. He learned that he was involved with the Weathermen 40 years prior. So, the McCain Campaign now says that Obama should have repudiated Ayers (which is also ridiculous - he wasn't in charge of the Annenberg foundation!) in anticipation of Ayers publishing his memoirs (on Sept. 10 2001) and making a subsequent comment that was taken out of context? OBAMA SHOULD BE ABLE TO TELL THE FUTURE NOW?! The only people ever killed in connection with Weathermen activity were some Weathermen themselves, in an accident! However, many were severely injured. McCain robocalls say "killed Americans." We'll I guess that's technically accurate, but I don't think that is what they are trying to imply. This is from Wikipedia : Statements made in 2001 Chicago Magazine reported that "just before the September 11th attacks," Richard Elrod, a city lawyer injured in...

This is really good.

Mark Jacoby had people sign fake petitions, then used their signatures and information to create real voter registrations changing their party affiliations from Democrat to Republican. He's been arrested according to the LA Times .

This is a post- "Meet the Press" question to Gen. Colin Powell:

Michele Bachmann (R) Minnesota District 6 On Chris Matthews today, she says "There are anti-American congressman" - but won't name names. Liberal = Anti-American. Leave it to rabid republicans like Michele to foment this throw-back mentality. I'm donating to her opponent now! (I believe in freedom of speech, I believe in freedom of speech, I believe in freedom of speech...) I support her right to state her views but she is inciting violence, intolerance, and racisim. Isn't that domestic terrorism? Isn't that inciting hate-crimes? Watch the vid from Chris Matthews: Donate to her opponent here: http://www.tinklenberg08.com/ UPDATE: As of Saturday at 5:00 PDT, people have donated over $600,000 to her opponent's campaign. AMAZING! The witch hunts will continue until the liberals shut up.

Here are some supporting points: Peggy Noonan is too through with Gov. Palin: In the end the Palin candidacy is a symptom and expression of a new vulgarization in American politics. It's no good, not for conservatism and not for the country. And yes, it is a mark against John McCain, against his judgment and idealism. Hate mongering is anti-American.

Check this out. Either they really like Bruce Springstein or they're scoping out the new POTUS.

Literally WTFBBQ .

At first I thought he was Jason from Ghost Hunters, but as it turns out, he's likely a McCain campaign "plant." He's related to the Charles Keating - yes, that Charles Keating. This is according to Martin Eisenstadt , a McCain supporter. Oh, and he has no plumbing license . Oh, and he owes back taxes.

Excellent Frontline show " The Choice " last night. Laying down hay where the goats can get it. Angry republicans will vote for Obama. " Let's just keep it under sixty " - that's about all they can hope for.

$25M contract ready for deployment soon. Silent Guardian weighs a shade over 10,000 pounds all up, and will be mounted on an "armored ruggedized HEMTT [Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck]." The announcement arrives on the same day as a new report from less-lethal weapons expert Dr. Jürgen Altmann that analyzes the physics of several directed energy weapons, including Active Denial, the Advanced Tactical Laser (used as a non-lethal weapon), the Pulsed Energy Projectile (a.k.a. "Maximum Pain" laser) and the Long Range Acoustic Device (a.k.a. "Acoustic Blaster"). David Hambling - ABC News

McCain transition team leader managed Food-for-Oil program lobbying for Saddam Hussein. Skipped indictment. Good snip: Presciently, Time's Scherer noted that McCain's own staffers had early concerns that appointing Timmons could prove detrimental to the Arizona Senator's presidential ambitions: His [lobbying] registrations include work on a number of issues that have become flashpoints in the presidential campaign. He has registered to work on bills that deal with the regulations of troubled mortgage lenders Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, a bill to provide farm subsidies and bills that regulate domestic oil-drilling. By tapping Timmons, McCain has turned to one of Washington's steadiest and most senior inside players to guide him in the event of a victory -- but also to someone who represents the antithesis of the kind of outside-of-Washington change he has recently been promising. One Republican familiar with the process said the decision to involve Timmons could become ...

Wick Allison - very eloquent. Read the whole thing and send it to all your friends. This kind of conservatism, which is not conservative at all, has produced financial mismanagement, the waste of human lives, the loss of moral authority, and the wreckage of our economy that McCain now threatens to make worse. Click at the bottom to read the comments too. I'm absolutely convinced that today's Democrats are yesterday's Republicans and today's Republicans are tomorrow's facists.

This is not my America. I feel like a prisoner. I guess ol' John was right. I hope people at Craig's list have sent this information to the authorities.

Ode to Sean Hannity by John Cleese Aping urbanity Oozing with vanity Plump as a manatee Faking humanity Journalistic calamity Intellectual inanity Fox Noise insanity You’re a profanity Hannity

From the Editorial Board of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch . Here's a good part: Given the damage that has been done to America’s moral standing in the world in the last eight years — by a preemptory war, a unilateralist foreign policy and by policies that have treated both the Geneva Conventions and our own Bill of Rights as optional — Mr. Obama’s election would help America reclaim the moral high ground. It also must be said that Mr. Obama is right on the issues. He was right on the war in Iraq. He is right that all Americans deserve access to health care and right in his pragmatic approach to meeting that goal. He is right on tax policy, infrastructure investment, energy policy and environmental issues. He is right on American ideals. He was right when he said in his remarkable speech in March in Philadelphia that “In the end, then, what is called for is nothing more, and nothing less, than what all the world’s great religions demand: that we do unto others as we would have them do...

Maybe John McCain's soul was removed and replaced with a lizard alien (notice the tongue jut ). Sarah is the lizard controller deputy of Dick Cheney, a lizard-human shape-shifter, who is rarely seen because he lives in a deep pit in the earth beneath the Vice Presidential mansion. Prove me wrong. I read all about it here .

There's a couple of real crazy folks (Philip J. Berg and Dr. T. B. Bradley) in Pennsylvania filing a lawsuit alleging that Obama moved to Indonesia and lost his citizenship. Under the law, however, moving to a foreign country does not negate an American's citizenship. So, he goes on to say that maybe he was actually born in Kenya, cuz he had a couple of folks look at the image of the birth certificate on the innernetz and it looked fake. Funny thing though, when Teresa Bradley joined the suit on Monday, she filed a motion to appear as "Jane Doe." Of course the filing papers are available online with her full name, address, and phone number. Kooky! Ms. Bradley's a little crazy - she's been suing Google and Yahoo quite a bit too. Mr. Berg is also notorious as a "suicide lawyer." From FactCheck.org : As a citizen of the UKC who was born in Kenya, Obama's father automatically received Kenyan citizenship via subsection (1). So given that Obama qual...

Identity card scheme . "As the realisation of this power grew, we would gradually start living in the prison of our minds." - Jenni Russell, the Guardian, UK

Read this from Prison Planet : The unit will be on homeland patrol for at least 20 months before returning to Iraq or Afghanistan in early 2010, according to the report. Training for homeland operations has already begun at Fort Stewart and at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs. Ominously, the report states that, “The 1st BCT’s soldiers also will learn how to use “the first ever nonlethal package that the Army has fielded,” 1st BCT commander Col. Roger Cloutier said, referring to crowd and traffic control equipment and nonlethal weapons designed to subdue unruly or dangerous individuals without killing them.” The unit would also be deployed to deal with hostile crowds of Americans in the aftermath of a massive economic depression, potential food riots and race riots, if one defines the term “crowd control” to match its reasonably applicable scenarios.

CharlotteObserver.com Viewpoint From Hugh McColl Jr., former chairman and CEO of Bank of America: In 49 years of living in Charlotte, I've seldom offered my opinion in writing and never submitted a piece such as this. The condition of our country compels me. The economic disarray threatening our community and nation poses critical challenges but also presents opportunity. We can observe the presidential candidates in the crucible of crisis. Only one of them demonstrates the needed intellect, fortitude and temperament. That is why I have decided to publicly support Barack Obama. What is needed in Washington is sound judgment and exceptional leadership. Through the years that I've been a businessman and before that an officer in the Marine Corps, I saw what qualities make effective leaders. I see them in Obama: a sharp intellect, stiff spine and steady hand. Obama's economic plans will restore market confidence and provide a blueprint for a better future. His pragmatic, intel...

This came from Ta-Nehisi Coates at The Atlantic. Read his post. And, BTW, she got the quote wrong. Its "help" not "support." Sarah needs help - that's fur shur.

This is not going well. Stock up on liquor and cigs. Its going to get bad. I feel like curling up in the fetal position and crying. Brendan Kiley over at Slog has just posted this with links to Amy Goodman and Naomi Wolfe about some scary preparations . I hope its paranoia. Maybe it was in preparation if the bailout didn't happen and there were bank runs. Let's hope it has nothing to do with the election. I guess we dodged a bullet.

more animals I find it absolutely disgusting that Palin told Biden that his "school teacher" wife would "find her reward in heaven." First of all, she's a college professor, second, and most agregeous of all, his first wife died! Sick.

This is one of the best speeches I've seen in a very long time. He should have been at the Democratic Convention in a prime speaker spot. (T/H to Kathy G. at The G Spot )
