America Held Hostage 2
Posted by clifgriffin in Politics on November 5th, 2008
In memory of the original “America Held Hostage” as coined by Rush Limbaugh, I have setup the following site:

Welcome to the Soviet Union.
We can begin the countdown till our country once again may choose between a republican form of government and a socialist one.
Congressman Jim Moran Is a Marxist

Congressman Jim Moran represents Virginia’s 8th district. He is a Marxist. Just like Obama.

Confession: Obama Scares Me
Posted by clifgriffin in Politics on October 16th, 2008
I’m a conservative.
A federalist.
A constitutionalist.
I believe the purpose of government, both state and federal, is primarily to protect the liberty of individuals.
Obama is the antithesis of these ideas. He boldy proclaims that healthcare should be a right and that wealth is a product of “luck” and needs to be spread around.
He is the most pro-choice senator in the United States Senate and opposed legislation that would make healthcare for babies who survive abortions mandatory.
He believes that governments create jobs. He believes our progressive tax system isn’t progressive enough.
He believes the solution to our 2/3 dependence on foreign oil is cutting our consumption by 2/3. How? By limiting what consumers can buy and what producers can produce.
He believes that corporations are evil and their profits are “inappropriate”. He would impose “windfall taxes” to correct this inequity.
He worked with communists like Bill Ayers, whose education ideas include the discouragement of patriotism to country and the encouragement of allegiance to the world.
And, he has literally come from “nowhere”. He’s a junior senator with only 173 working days in the senate. We can only guess what he will do with the office of the presidency.
So, I ask: In what substantive way do Barack Obama’s views differ from that of Karl Marx and his followers?
It would be foolish to assume that the days of Marxism and its subversive techniques of achieving power are long gone.
It would also be foolish to assume that the next Marxist leader will gain power by proclaiming himself to be a Marxist.
Barack Obama scares me.
Second Debate Comments

McCain is McCain. He is one of the last people out of the 9 offered to us that I would have chosen to be the Republican presidential candidate. This is for many reasons involving his track record of abandoning conservative principles to find that sweet spot, the proverbial political middle.
But, by comparison to Obama, the most liberal senator in the United States senate, he looks like Reagan. Well, sort of.
Simply put: I have no real choice this election. As much as I’d like to teach the Republican party a lesson, I can’t do so at the expense of irreversible expansion of government and life appointments to the supreme court.
And, besides that, I at least have a pretty good idea of what McCain will do. As I said before, McCain is McCain. And beyond that, I have nothing but respect for him outside of the differences in the way we view government. I don’t believe he is pursuing the presidency for notions of power and fame. That’s a young man’s game.
No, I think he actually thinks he can accomplish good. And, I’m willing to let him try.
Which brings us to tonight’s debate. Read the rest of this entry »
