   Oh good! It still exists. Looks like they kept it up but with a new URL. The old location now looks like this.

   Wow.  Ass Rocket fires a SCUD against Obama:

   Obama thinks he is a good talker, but he is often undisciplined when he speaks. He needs to understand that as President, his words will be scrutinized and will have impact whether he intends it or not. In this regard, President Bush is an excellent model; Obama should take a lesson from his example. Bush never gets sloppy when he is speaking publicly. He chooses his words with care and precision, which is why his style sometimes seems halting. In the eight years he has been President, it is remarkable how few gaffes or verbal blunders he has committed. If Obama doesn’t raise his standards, he will exceed Bush’s total before he is inaugurated.

   Seriously, the dude is “mental.”

     No he just lives in an alternate universe.  One the rest of us just escaped from, thankfully.

     I have to say though, Right wingers have no sense of how ridiculous they sound when they spew this stuff.  But then neither does a tape recorder.

       I followed the original link to the right-wing blog. It says: “The Obama camp … released a statement to the effect that Obama had said no such thing: “President Kaczynski raised missile defense but President-elect Obama made no commitment on it.”

       If that’s true, it’s a positive development. (Clinton never had the balls to kill missile defense.)

   the always developing, never-quite-materializing “michelle obama rant tape” slash nigerian internet scam provided endless mirth, not the least because of the sheer torture inflicted on the rubes at free republic. someone should collect all the “press releases” in one place. a sampling:

   API tape will still be aired despite election of Barack Obama as US President (11/05)

   Fox News Network given 6 hours Ultimatum by API (11/02)

   API: Sean Hannity and Greta Van Susteren to air the Michelle Obama tape in less than 24 hours (10/31)

   Michelle Obama tapes to be aired any time from now: API and Fox News in a final agreement (10/29)

   Obama campaign manager offers api 3 million (10/28)

   Michelle Obama calls Corsi ‘evil’; wants to silence API (10/16)

   Oh NO! Looks like we’ve all made a HUGE mistake. REGRETS! REGRETS!

   This gave me a good chuckle.  Looks like Real America still has fight in it.

    I know it’s too late for this election, but think we can see the
    handwriting on the wall.

     This is the most interesting thing I’ve read in a long time. The sad
     thing
     about it, you can see it coming.

     I have always heard about this democracy countdown. It is interesting to
     see it in print. God help us, not that we deserve it.

     How Long Do We Have?

     About the time our original thirteen states adopted their new
     constitution
     in 1787, Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University
     of
     Edinburgh , had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some
     2,000 years earlier:

     ‘A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a
     permanent form of government.’

     ‘A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters
     discover
     they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.’

     ‘From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who
     promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that
     every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which
     is
     always followed by a dictatorship.’

     ‘The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations from the beginning
     of history, has been about 200 years’

     ‘During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the
     following sequence:

     1. from bondage to spiritual faith;
     2. from spiritual faith to great courage;
     3. from courage to liberty;
     4. from liberty to abundance;
     5. from abundance to complacency;
     6. from complacency to apathy;
     7. from apathy to dependence;
     8. from dependence back into bondage’

     Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law, St. Paul ,
     Minnesota , points out some interesting facts concerning the 2000
     Presidential election:

     Number of States won by: Democrats: 19 Republicans: 29

     Square miles of land won by: Democrats: 580,000 Republicans: 2,427,000

     Population of counties won by: Democrats: 127 million Republicans: 143
     million

     Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Democrats: 13.2
     Republicans: 2.1

     Professor Olson adds: ‘In aggregate, the map of the territory Republican
     won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of this great
     country. Democrat territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in
     government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government
     welfare…’ Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the
     ‘complacency and apathy’ phase of Professor Tyler’s definition of
     democracy, with some forty percent of the nation’s population already having reached
     the ‘governmental dependency’ phase.

     If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal
     invaders called illegal’s and they vote, then we can say goodbye to the
     USA
     in fewer than five years.

   Pass this along to help everyone realize just how much is at stake, knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to our freedom.

   WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, ONLY BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE.
