BEWARE GEEKS BEARING GIFTS



Here's the thing.

BO's sinking in the polls as more voters are not liking what is coming out in books, and are being turned off by his hubris and flip-flops. Super delegates notice, start thinking they are backing a loser and turn to consider HILLary. They realize she is the most competent and experienced and would beat McCane.

BO needs to stop this so he "magnanimously" [him, really?] allows a roll call vote for her.

He has tipped off his pals in the media and knows what their reaction will be.

Right! They will go after Hillary with gusto. "Oh, she is taking the Convention away from Obama. For shame.

Cafferty [CNN] was apoplectic, all veins in his head popping. MSNBC - vemon in overdrive. FOX News getting it and laughing their asses off at the media knee jerk reaction.

ObamaDROIDS, as BO figured, step up their hate and nastiness vowing not to vote and/or wage riots if super delegates upset BO's coronation.

Super delegates shudder and think that it's too late. They fear the riots will prevent a Hillary win as the media and hyped up geek mobs will scare off voters.

So much for BO's great gesture. A move, planned like all his actions are - to make himself look good while his media and geeks sink their knives in, doing his dirty work.

Sure wish it were different. But it is confusing. After years of school, decades of media and eons of history, the Primary process seemed rather simple and good and patriotic. But now everything relating to freedom of expression and democracy has been turned on its head.

Grass roots peaceful protesters are vilified by a media that should just be reporting on their cause and actions. The evidence has piled up and seems indisputable – the Democratic nomination was stolen from Hillary Clinton. http://tinyurl.com/6ycc7g

Delegates and super delegates are coerced and threatened. If they do not allow themselves to be bought off, the DNC Pooh-Bahs withdraw all funding for their campaigns.

And looming large is the threat of violence against all who may support Clinton and especially toward Hillary Clinton herself. Mob action by the Net roots spewing hatred 24/7 over the Internet.

“After we’ve concluded appropriate homage and tribute to Hillary and women all over the world, who just want to be recognized for their contributions in a fair and evenhanded way, then can we drive a steak through the heart of this bitch?” – representative of comments by kossacks

“Looking back at the 2008 Primary season and the steady chanting of ‘When will that Stupid Bitch Quit’ we should have foreseen this summer’s efforts. We should have known that we’d have to work for a presence in Denver. But HOW could we have ever expected that Hillary’s pledged delegates would be threatened for wanting to stay true to their pledge?” - katiebird [confluence]

A COOKIE YOU CAN BELIEVE IN



The recent kafuffle over The Rev. Jesse’s “hot mic” revelations referring to BO’s nuts, caused us to recall the yesteryears when Blacks criticized other blacks by calling them Oreos [black on the outside, white on the inside].

The definition now may be of a different cookie altogether as black, white and colors in between Obmacons begin to look askance at the man they thought was the second coming; the man who promised, “change we can believe in”.

With most of the media and blogisphere going along, they toiled in his vineyards and harassed anyone who dared to say they were for Edwards or Clinton or any of the others. Despite the huge support for Hillary, the DNC illegally finagled MI and FL into a delegate plurality for BO.

Backed up by the DNC and MSM, BO believes he is the anointed one; he struts arrogantly around and has undergone a color change of another sort. He appears to have become a Republican and this has caused some serious seismic activity among many of his former worshippers.

His recent votes and declarations have been an about face from what he told his adoring masses who are torn between tears and anger at his betrayal of their trust. His vote to support Bush on FISA may well be the electoral straw that broke this donkey’s back.

This sudden transformation has revealed the same old creamy-filling-politics inside that he kept hidden beneath his cookie shell of rhetorical balderdash and repetition used to inflame and hoodwink the masses.

The fun in all this, for those of us who knew what BO was from the git-go, is not the discomfort of his young, trendy and newly jilted pundit-lovers. It’s hearing the media scramble trying to explain away his betrayal of principal.

Kudos to the few journalists that are calling it what it is - political pandering for power. Proof positive that he is just another political hack – not the unsullied purveyor of hope that he pretended to be.

The Pretender Cookie [“we are the change we have been looking for”] that was so sweet in the mouth for many now has them reaching for the Tums as their stomachs revolt against his perfidy.

As BO and the DNC work to extinguish the light Hillary has brought to the current presidential race, we are reminded of another woman’s light that was allowed to slip away while the world heaped its praises on a decidedly lesser light.

A LADY NAMED IRENA
There recently was a death of a 98 year old lady named Irena.

During WWII, Irena, got permission to work in the Warsaw Ghetto, as a Plumbing/Sewer specialist..

She had an ulterior motive...

She KNEW what the Nazi's plans were for the Jews, (being German).

Irena smuggled infants out in the bottom of her tool box she carried, and she carried in the back of her truck a Burlap sack, (for larger kids).

She also had a dog in the back, that she trained to bark when the Nazi soldiers let her in, and out of the ghetto.

The soldiers of course wanted nothing to do with the dog, and the barking covered the kids/infants noises.

During her time and course of doing this, she managed to smuggle out and save 2500 kids/infants.

She was caught, and the Nazi's broke both her legs, and arms, and beat her severely, but she survived.

She kept a record of the names of all the kids she smuggled out, and kept them in a glass jar, buried under a tree in her back yard.

After the war, she tried to locate any parents who may have survived it, and reunited the family.

Most of course had been gassed.

Those kids she helped got placed into foster family homes, or adopted.

Last year Irena was up for the Nobel Peace Prize.....

She LOST.

Al Gore won, for a slide show on Global Warming.

BLAZING STRADDLES




In the space of only a few days, a 12 year-old Vermont girl was reported missing, frantically searched for and finally found dead. Internet’s, My Space, was implicated; a sex ring preying on young girls was suggested and the girl’s uncle was revealed as a serial sex offender and charged with kidnapping. The investigation continues.

Lots of sadness and tears; lots of hand wringing and questioning of the judicial system as the investigation continues but really nothing new, no insight. No one speaks of why we train our girls to be victims; needing and wanting the attention of a male to give them significance.

Men’s religion has played a major role in the subjugation of and crimes against women – this is still going on and is a major reason why church and state must be kept separate.

Bruce Ware — a Southern Baptist scholar – argued that one reason that men abuse their wives is because women rebel against their husband’s God-given authority: “‘And husbands on their parts, because they’re sinners, now respond to that threat to their authority either by being abusive, which is of course one of the ways men can respond when their authority is challenged - -or, more commonly, to become passive, acquiescent, and simply not asserting the leadership they ought to as men in their homes and in churches,’ Ware said from the pulpit of Denton Bible Church in Denton, Texas.”

Now the presumptive choice of the DNC and the mean street media, Zelig Obama, has announced that he will continue George Bush’s faith based initiatives – that have melded church and state together.

BO has made many promises regarding women’s rights, reproductive and otherwise but in the light of his several position changes in order to appeal to everyone, women will surely also be a casualty of his blazing straddles, outright lies and prevarications. No wonder he hasn’t clarified his core values and his beliefs, like Zelig, he has none – he just reflects whatever group he’s trying to impress.

“[W]ho will Obama throw under the bus next? Hmmm…already under the bus: women, old people, baby boomers, the Clinton Administration, his grandmother, Rev. Wright, Fr. Phleger, Tony Rezko, Samantha Power, various and sundry other staff members, the LGBT community, Muslims, supporters of Israel, Appalachia, African American men, the Great Possum Seal, Cuban-Americans, Wesley Clark, Moveon.org, the fourth amendment, the establishment clause…who’s next?” -- (bostonboomer at The Confluence)

“Women do not get into positions of power without the aid of men in this man’s world, and neither do men. Men trade on the connections they make in fraternities, golf clubs, and strip clubs. And people want to criticize women for trading on the connections that are available to us? In the entire history of this patriarchal nation, a mere 2 percent of all Congress-members have been women. If we eliminate all the women who became Congresswomen because of their connections to husbands, that embarrassingly pitiful percentage declines considerably.” – egalia

Another blast from the past:
GenderGappers 1997 – 002

YOU MEAN WE HAD ForeMOTHERS, TOO?
After thousands of years of existence in virtual slavery, woman began to actively demand that they be considered and treated as adult human beings at around the turn of this century.

We shall generalize these dates since any of you that want specifics can easily find them on the Internet. Except for some women's studies, you won't find this taught in schools.

Our calendar is based on marking year one as the year Jesus Christ was born. It took the advent of women's scholarship and archaeological interpretation to reveal, in our current century, that there once lived a people who worshipped both Goddess and God. We now learn that these Goddess-worshipping tribes practiced gender equity -- women were High Priests and doctors; were free beings; were educated and could own property.

These tribes were peaceful and prosperous for their time. This changed when these peaceful villages were overrun by tribes who worshipped a male God exclusively. Under the rule of this God, women were condemned to a slavery that persisted for nearly all women until around the beginning of the 20th Century. Women were the property of their father, given by him to their husband to do with as he wished. They could not own property, were not considered to be educable or even to have human abilities -- all because men believed that God's word declared that woman caused the fall of man in the Garden of Eden.

This belief was enforced throughout the centuries by Paul's gospel, witch hunts, cultural and societal mandates as well as the meting out of harsh punishment if a woman stepped out of her male-god-established role. Throughout those thousands of years, most men were free to develop while women's development was suffocated.

This century has seen a massive change in the lives of women, who have so far, been given fewer than 100 years to catch up to a system that men had thousands of years to grow, use and interact with.

While most women were restricted to children and home, most men were bonding in government, education, law, fraternal organizations, military, sport, finance, uniform dress etc. Women led their lives vicariously through men, developing methods of placating and pleasing men -- and many still carry the results of that programming of thousands of years.

Some of the fiercest defenders of gender inequity are women -- women who will not or cannot seek the counsel of the Goddess within.

Whoopi Goldberg, who most would consider a liberated woman, made the following statement in a TV interview: "Black people are the only people who came to this country and were not allowed to vote."

Whoops, Whoopi - women of any skin color are people too. We have been coming to this country since the 17th Century and weren't allowed to vote either -- not until early in the 1920's (excepting a couple of state elections.)

And all our foremothers before them, before us, lie in their sacrificial graves unsung and unremembered.

JUST GET OVER YOURSELF



The so-called Hillary demographic of older voters, blue color workers etc are being harassed for not jumping aboard the unity pony. Their concerns about BO are not about their candidate losing as BO and his supporters charge.

As when BO, addressing the Black Caucus, said, “they’ll get over it”. Rep. Diane Watson, D-Calif., a longtime Clinton supporter, did not like those last three words — “Get over it.” She found them dismissive, off-putting AND SO DID WE.

http://riverdaughter.wordpress.com/2008/06/22/pumas-response-to-obamas-plea-for-us-to-get-over-it/

Although BO is trying to blame racism as the reason that many people do not like him, it sure worked against Hillary, didn’t it? Trying to give whitey a guilt trip may not work this time because he does NOT have all the media pulling for him as he did in the Primaries and he’s not running against a woman.

Their concerns were and still are that he is a swaggering phony with little or no experience, unqualified for the office. Where Hillary showed competence and self-confidence, he comes on as arrogant and self important, claiming that he will clean the Aegean stables of DC politics. They just do not trust him.

And this week others are beginning to see what these voters still see, as BO not only flip flopped on NAFTA but more to the point flat out lied. He had said several times he would take public funding and now goes back on his word; even many of his avid supporters, like Russ Feingold are disgusted.

Then as a striking symbol of his utter disregard for history and his massive conceit, he unveils his own presidential seal. It is described as having symbolic differences.

Instead of the Latin 'E pluribus unum' (Out of many, one), BO's says 'Vero possumus', rough Latin for 'Yes, we can.' Instead of 'Seal of the President of the United States', BO's Web site address is listed. And instead of a shield, BO's eagle wears his 'O' campaign logo with a rising sun representing hope ahead. Wonder if he’ll wear ermine robes at his coronation?
http://news.yahoo.com/nphotos/slideshow/photo//080620/480/003d2c72499f41c39003beeac3b60770/

His presidential seal had only one appearance before it was laughed out of existence. BO pulled it explaining that it was created just for one appearance and the media let him get away with that lie too.

Meanwhile women and men are launching continuing protests against the misogamy that has been a hallmark of this campaign engaged in by BO himself and the way he has urged on his supporters and used the media.

Remember how the mean-stream-media continually kissed up to and supported Bush and his war for years until people demanded the truth? Then all the pundits and commentators jumped aboard and all the secrete deals and lies were published. But it was too late for the thousands killed or maimed by a needless war.

Remember how all through the Primary, women continually brought the massive misogyny by the media, BO blogs and BO’s campaign out in their blogs and their letters and phone calls and were totally ignored?

Now when it is too late to be fair to the only female candidate, many in the media are belatedly writing and wringing their hands over what they so long totally ignored. And, characteristically, they are not demanding that this kind of treatment against women be abolished.

KNOW THIS AND UNDERSTAND IT, MSM pundits, BO AND YOUR ILK - WE WILL NOT GET OVER IT. You can no longer feed us bull and tell us its candy and piss on us and tell us it's raining.
