(2008-11-03) — Barack Obama has reportedly confided to close associates his fear that when millions of Democrats go to the polls Tuesday, they’ll do exactly what he did about 130 times in the Illinois State Senate: When faced with a tough choice, they’ll vote ‘present‘.
“Leaders tend to attract followers who are like them,” the source said. “Obama knows that it’s one thing to show up for an event with a crowd, but quite another to take bold personal action alone.”
“Barack can just see them standing there in the booth, wavering,” said one unnamed source. “It’s such a big decision. He knows how they feel — the sweaty palms, the tremors, the dry mouth. He pictures them freezing up, or just moving on to the less consequential races without voting for president.”
“What scares him most,” the source added, “is that John McCain might have attracted followers who are just like…you know…like John McCain. You don’t need as many of those to get things done.”

They played the recording of a man on the radio this morning who was with Khrushchev when he visited the US. His haunting tale of what Kruschchev told him about America would never know when communism hit them because bit by bit socialism would take over.
Khrushchev said one shot would never be fired. I wish I had the recording from this man. It scares the bajeebers out of you to hear his warning from all those many years ago.

I posted this earlier but Scott is doing great with new masterpieces arriving at a speed hard to keep up with and current.
Part if an e-mail I received and part of my return answer (slightly modified) – Waxless Fred
“According to The Book of Revelations the anti-Christ is:
The anti-Christ will be a man, in his 40s, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal…. the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power, will destroy everything. Is it OBAMA??â€
Scrapplers are a well read, highly intelligent, group of Conservatives. I’m sure they already disagree with the statement. The book of Revelations, from what I’ve read, was written by a man who identifies himself as “John”. He states that he was in exile on the Island of Patmos. From Wiki I get the dates that the book was written around 95 or 96 A.D. although others contend for an earlier date, 68 or 69, in the reign of Nero or shortly thereafter.
Muhamad was born around 570 of the common era – around the year of 610 CE he answered a “call†to be a prophet, but did not begin preaching until 613 C.E. His work ended with his death in 632. So unless there was an extraneous “special†revelation dealing with Muhamad, which John fails to mention. There is no way that “…a man, in his 40’s, of MUSLIM descent…†was something that John could possibly known about.
The word “anti-Christ†does not appear anywhere in the Bible (KJV). According to [Accordance 6.1.1] there are a total of four times in the entire Bible where the word antichrist is found. The word antichrists is used only once, in 1 Jn. 2:18. When taken in context it is evident that John is identifying a great number of antichrists who were already on hand – up till today there are and have been multiple millions perhaps and probably billions who have denied and are denying the Father and the Son. “If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.†(2 Jn. 1: 10,11) I do not believe for a moment that Obama is THE antichrist, but I have no doubt that he is ONE of the antichrists. The same as Mao – Chavez – Ahmadinejad members of Hezbollah – Hamas – all terrorists, etc. are antichrists.
The current horror is that not only into their house but about 50% of those voting tomorrow will vote to receive ‘one of the antichrists’ into the Presidency of the United States!
1 John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
1 John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
1 John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
2 John 1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

When they come at you this fast it is hard to post on the current thread(s).
But I for one plan to be “present” when I vote FOR John McCain and Sarah Palin tomorrow. I am not a big fan of all of this early voting, voting absentee with a good reason is one thing, voting whenever you want for no particular reason is screwfy as far as I am concerned. What is “Election Day” for anyhow?

Another example of Oblahblah’s elitism and arrogance. In an MTV interview Obama says that the tax increase he proposes on people who earn $250,000 or more is “chump change, that’s nothing.” But wait! If it’s “chump change,” how is it going to fund the hundreds of billions in new spending that Oblahblah wants?
Of course, he’ll also raise taxes on “big business” … and the consumer (us) ends up paying for those tax increases, too. So taxpayers are going to have to grab their ankles with this guy in office.
In the end Oblahblah could crank up the Treasury Dept. printing presses and have all the money he and the Congressional Donks could possibly want … oh darn, but that would be inflationary! Oh well, Oblahblah can’t be bothered with inconvenient truthes like these – after all, he’s messiah. Maybe he could get money to grow on trees … but that would be inflationary, too.

Hey, Cooga, if you want to talk about conspiracy theories, there are none more disgusting than those coming from the leftards on your side of the aisle.
Remember the absolutely despicable “Sarah Palin faked a pregnancy to protect her pregnant daughter” conspiracy theory? And it can be found here and hundreds of other places on the Internet. Note how this garbage is treated like it’s absolute truth uncovered by some enterprising, kool-aid swilling moonbat.
How about the “911 was an inside job” conspiracy theory? Pretty disgusting since it smeared many people working in government and in the Bush Administration.
And how about how AIDS was a CIA attempt to kill black people … thank you very much, “Reverend” Wright, et al.? No explanation needed here.
Other stupid and very destructive liberal conspiracy theories can be found here.
This last link nails the seditious liberal who engage in conspiracy theories which harm decent people and this country. I bet Islamofascist have similar conspiracy theories to support their hateful caricature of America and conservative Americans who see them as the threat to our freedoms and way of life.

“Maybe tonight OB1 will tell us who he is, his secret history, his school records and all the other strange things we know not of.”
Why do otherwise intelligent people engage is such nasty political innuendo?
Why can’t we accept that it is okay to decide that one believes in what one political party stands for rather then resorting to slinging mud and even filthy lies.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with deciding that one is a Democrat or Republican.
It doesn’t speak well for the solidity of one’s beliefs when they must insult those who think differently. It weakens the cause to use negativity as a weapon or a tool to attempt to force others to believe one side or the other.

22 Darthmeister // Nov 3, 2008 at 9:10 pm
Why do otherwise intelligent people engage is such nasty political innuendo?
The lamestream media does it all the time, Newsman, so what’s your point? At last count the liberal lamestream media propagated no less than 35 outright lies about Sarah Palin under the guise of “news” much less the requisite political innuendo which always comes with being an “evil” conservative. And only God knows how many lies and innuendo were told about John McCain by liberal “journalists” the last eight months.
Having been a photo-journalist over thirty years ago for a national collegiate publication, I can tell you any number of tricks a good number of journalists use to promote their agenda then and today. One is finding a convenient “authority” to propel the story you pretty much have already written further down the road. Get an “authority” to say what you want to say in your piece. I heard that from a very prominent “60 Minutes” journalist in an “off the record” telephone call. You go in with an agenda to break a big story, only include those things which bolster the story line and ignore any couner-evidence as simply irrelevant “noise”.
Another is to cite “anonymous sources” or “highly placed sources” blah, blah, blah.
Yet another little journalist trick is to select an accepted “authoritative source” that has the same bias that you do and then cite them as a virtually unassailable “expert” despite the fact there are other experts who disagree and, of course, are conveniently ignored because it doesn’t fit the standard media template. The Global Warming hoax is one such example.
Or if you do cite two experts with opposing views, you make sure the one who agrees with your story bias is a better known source and therefore more reputable in the eyes of the reader/viewer/listener.
One of the better tricks is to simply make up a source out of thin air or a victim out of thin air. Yet another trick is to simply misquote people and then if caught run a retraction in 10 pt type on page 18 in the lower left-hand corner.
And the hardest trick to pin down is when a journalist does include two “experts” with opposing views but gives more line inches and attributes more “soundbites” to the expert he more agrees with on an issue and publishes the weakest of statements by the expert with whom the journalist doesn’t really agree.
It seems in today’s world brutally fair and honest journalists are as rare as hen’s teeth.
Back then I got tired of rubbing shoulders with these liberal media elitists out trying “to change the world” with their “news” and I certainly don’t think it would be any different today. That’s why it’s very easy for me to detect media bias.
If I were you I’d be far more concerned about the political innuendos and lies being published by the lamestream media each and every day in the name of “objective news” than by anyone here at Scrappleface who certainly aren’t pretending to be “objective journalists.”
Far worse things are being said about us, Sarah Palin and John McCain on liberal blogs than we are saying about the empty suit Obama and “Foot-in-mouth” Biden. Liberal bloggers are far bigger hypocrites since liberals supposedly embrace “respecting one another’s diverse opinions”, “not engaging in stereotypes”, and “being open-minded about opposing points of views”, blah, blah, blah, lie, lie, lie … Yeah, right.
We’re just have some good, clean fun here. Your “concern” is better directed toward those on the left who resort to comments like, “Sarah Palin is a c***.”

I will readily admit I have not seen such outright filth on scrapple. You guys can get pretty bad but nothing like what you referred me to.

I could point you to even more despicable stuff that is pretty much mainstream fodder for liberal Democrats, but I’ll leave you to your own prejudices and devices. I won’t do your homework for you.
NEWSFLASH
Final arguments from the legal eagles at Powerlineblog.com:
After the big gamble on subprime mortgages that led to the current financial crisis, is there going to be an even bigger gamble, by putting the fate of a nation in the hands of a man whose only qualifications are ego and mouth?
Barack Obama has the kind of cocksure confidence that can only be achieved by not achieving anything else.
Anyone who has actually had to take responsibility for consequences by running any kind of enterprise– whether economic or academic, or even just managing a sports team– is likely at some point to be chastened by either the setbacks brought on by his own mistakes or by seeing his successes followed by negative consequences that he never anticipated.
The kind of self-righteous self-confidence that has become Obama’s trademark is usually found in sophomores in Ivy League colleges– very bright and articulate students, utterly untempered by experience in real world.
The signs of Barack Obama’s self-centered immaturity are painfully obvious, though ignored by true believers who have poured their hopes into him, and by the media who just want the symbolism and the ideology that Obama represents.
The triumphal tour of world capitals and photo-op meetings with world leaders by someone who, after all, was still merely a candidate, is just one sign of this self-centered immaturity.
“This is our time!” he proclaimed. And “I will change the world.” But ultimately this election is not about him, but about the fate of this nation, at a time of both domestic and international peril, with a major financial crisis still unresolved and a nuclear Iran looming on the horizon.
For someone who has actually accomplished nothing to blithely talk about taking away what has been earned by those who have accomplished something, and give it to whomever he chooses in the name of “spreading the wealth,” is the kind of casual arrogance that has led to many economic catastrophes in many countries.
Never truer words spoken during these perilous times that face us.
Until tomorrow. Whatever happens tomorrow, conservatives must gird themselves and continue to fight, fight, fight the barbarians at the gates.

Speaking of fighting…
The Star Spangled Banner
Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe’s haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o’er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
‘Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps’ pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war’s desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav’n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: “In God is our trust.”
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
Where is that separation of church and state?

38 Fred Sinclair // Nov 3, 2008 at 10:37 pm
Hey! It’s time for prayer about tomorrow’s election. I will pray that God will confound America’s enemies. Thwarting the enemies plans for victory tomorrow.”If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?” (Luke 11:11) Of course “…thy will be done…” is the underlying current of all prayers.
I get a kick out of reading how the prayers in the Old Testament are so different from what I hear in these “modern times”. Those men had a different attitude toward both God and prayer. Too many today seem to approach God in prayer timidly like a sixteen year old approaching their Dad to beg for use of the car. (1st, butter him up, “Looking good Dad! Gee, how much weight have you lost? Nice haircut you’ve got there, makes you look a lot younger. etc., etc.) Some of the prayers are frightening in their audacity. I think they walked in contact with God.
When they prayed they expected an answer. Whether it was Abraham, Elisha, Elijah, David, Joshua, Jonah, or Daniel. It didn’t matter. With sin however, it wasn’t that God couldn’t hear but with a wall of sin, God choses to not hear. “he will not hear.” Isa. 59:1 Behold the LORD’S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save, neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: Isa. 59:2 but your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. After 1 Jn. 1:9 – being totally righteous we can then go boldly to God in prayer expecting answers. With fasting and prayer, tomorrow, I expect God’s intervention (Psa. 5:10 “Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions….”
Psa. 2:8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
Psa. 3:1 LORD, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that rise up against me.
Psa. 3:2 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.
Psa. 3:3 But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
Psa. 3:7 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the ungodly.
Psa. 5:4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.
Psa. 5:5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.
Psa. 5:9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.
Psa. 5:10 Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.

“Nobel winners endorse Obama, say good riddance to Bush”-”With a jab at the George W Bush administration, 76 Nobel Prize winners in physics, chemistry, and medicine have issued a public letter endorsing Democrat nominee Barack Obama for the US presidential election next Tuesday.
Like so many members of the tech and science community have this election season, the 76 laureates question the US’ ability to remain competitive if commitment to maintaining and growing the nation’s leadership in the subject areas is not increased.
“During the administration of George W Bush, vital parts of our country’s scientific enterprise have been damaged by stagnant or declining federal support. The government’s scientific advisory process has been distorted by political considerations,” the two-page letter reads.”
All hail “the one”

I have no reason to doubt you so, please accept my sincere thanks for your service to our country.
You are, however, the 1st veteran I’ve ever known to mock a fellow veteran’s disablilty.
My father was a veteran and was 100% disabled when he was honorably discharged. He died 13 years later because of his disability. I know the price he and his fellow vets, and their families made first hand.
Had anyone ridiculed him in my presence the way you have done to John McCain they would be walking like a penguin too, but for and entirely different reason.
Disagree with John McCain’s politics as much as you want. That is more than your earned right. But he deserves your respect for the sacrifices he made for us all. And that includes his fellow vets.

Just Ranting,
I do concede this point to you. I accept your sympathetic view because of your father. I apologize if I have offended you, or the memory of your father.

So…RepublicanAttackMoron, Please keep your word and ignore my posts…or not, and continue to look like the fool you are.

MKK,
I’ve gained a little respect for you. Of all of the people here, you do seem to be truthful in your attempt to represent Christ. I ask you this, is it possible that those as strong in faith as you can have a different opinion when it comes to the earthly topic of politics and still be just as faithful as you?

I’d be willing to bet that all 76 of the Nobel Prize winners that you refer to do not believe in God. IF, they do not yhen I do not care how many prizes they are given, they aren’t very smart. They do not believe that God has control, but believe that man can control – we just gotta be smart enough, and they are probably there, or right close to being there. In my book a scientist without God, is a fool in darkness and more apt to be deceived by things than one of us dumb posters here at Scrappleface. Those scientists most likely refuse to believe the global warming that God warns us of in his Word.

Oh, this should be added to #42

BlackLion re:38,
Apology accepted. It takes a quality man to do that. Consider it forgotten.
Thanks again for your service, and I look forward to reading more of your posts.

MKK,
Please provide the scripture that refers to global warming if you don’t mind.
Thanks

mkk I just now read your #37. I wasn’t trying for a record. My #38 is adapted from a e-mail to gafisher. My fasting lasted into mid Sunday. My prayers had become repetitious and God said he wasn’t into repetitive prayers. I’m still praying but not repetition.
I’ve been studying the prayers of the Old Testament. When the water soaked offering was to be burned by fire from God. Elijah didn’t expect a no-show. He expected fire.
“And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.” (1Kings 17:1) Elijah expected results.
I’m no prophet for sure but I’m expecting results tomorrow.

MKK,
Here’s one for you:
Amos 2:6-8
“They buy and sell upstanding people.
People for them are only things-ways of making money.
They’d sell a poor man for a pair of shoes.
They’d sell their own grandmother!
They grind the penniless into dirt, shove the luckless into a ditch.
Everyone and his brother sleeps with a sacred whore’-
a sacrilege against my Holy name.
Stuff they’ve extorted from the poor is piled up at the shrine of their god.
While they sit around drinking wine they’ve conned from their victims”
Thanks

Fred comforts me, definitely. I can not say I am not worried about this election, but I am trying not to be. Being too young to vote, I can only campaign, and pray. It’s comforting to hear others say that God answers prayer. Although I am praying for a McCain win, I acknowledge that it may be God’s will for Obama to be our president. The question isn’t, is God able, but is it what he wants. Obama can talk all he wants but there’s someone bigger who ultimately dictates what “change” happens in America. Still, who am I to doubt God’s intervention. This could still be a McCain win.

Okay, Steelers won. It’s starting out to be a great week. Let’s shoot for excellent!

post #42: That is no apology to McCain you brainless moron. I know you think you are all powerful whimp, but I will reply to whomever I want to troll, in fact, I will do it even more now that it seems to bother you!
As for #45, I like Just Ranting but feel JR was only trying to be nice to you troll! I have known men of quality, I have served with men of quality, YOU, troll, are NOT a man of quality, in fact, I doubt you are much of a man!
As for J. Cougie Menopause, You are the typical lib who has a child’s mentality using the “spelling” arguement. Don’t you libs EVER use something new?
Like blackliar, I doubt YOU are much of a man either. Probably a little like your STEALERS, (NOT misspelled), former coach Bill Coward, (also NOT misspelled).
To get any where near him when he coached, you needed a spitshield. Perhaps that is where you learned that “bull spit” remark? It seems ALL your hero’s are morons. Do you consider yourself a hero, or just a moron?
54 J. Cougar Melancholy // Nov 4, 2008 at 11:03 am
Nope, “bull spit” is mine. Because I’m an original.
