Alright, Lord Obama, Let's See Some "Real Change"

We've heard it for months. Two extremely bland words strung together to convey and connote absolutely nothing. Real. Change.

Of course the mesmerized public bought the siren song wholesale, and here we are - saddled with a president who's accomplished nothing politically, who completely phoned in his public service in the Senate for the past year - barely casting a single vote - and when he did, it was to support the criminal Wall Street bailout, and fall in lock step with the Neo-Cons.

So while Barack Obama emptily promises change, what it is that he really should do beginning in January to truly affect change?

Paul Joseph Watson at Prison Planet laid it out perfectly in a great article this morning. He called Obama out with laser like efficiency.

"Let’s be generous and give Obama the whole four years of his initial term to make significant progress on the following issues," Watson writes. "Here are some questions about 'change' that we are going to be keeping track of until 2012. "

- Will Obama repeal Patriot Acts I and II as well as reversing Bush’s signing statement and acknowledging the repeal of the John Warner Defense Authorization Act?

- Will Obama support Dennis Kucinich’s efforts to bring war crimes charges against Bush, Cheney and others for deceiving the country into a war or will he protect them against such charges like Nancy Pelosi has done?

- Will Obama bring war crimes charges against Bush, Cheney and others for authorizing torture and will the torture of suspects under U.S. detention, a complete violation of both the Constitution and the Geneva Conventions, cease under an Obama administration?

- Will Obama withdraw American troops from Iraq and Afghanistan without sending them away again to bomb another broken-backed third world country in the name of a UN-supported “humanitarian” war?

- Will Obama end the warrantless secret surveillance and phone-taps of American citizens?

- Will Obama follow through on his rhetorical support for the second amendment or will he seek to ban guns as he did in Illinois?

- Will Obama cease his support for the Bush-administration backed banker bailouts, hated by the majority of Americans, and target the real cause of the problem - the Federal Reserve - or will he continue to give taxpayers’ money to banks who are merely hoarding it all for themselves?

- Will Obama seek to continue the militarization of America and preparations for martial law through Northcom and the secret government or will he dismantle the police state that has been constructed over the last eight years by the Bush administration?

Great job as always by Watson. Let us just hope that we'll continue to be able to read articles at Prison Planet and write blogs like this one come next year - without being labeled a terrorist, anti-American, or sadly, even a racist.

With the way the public reacted last night, you'd have thought Christ, Muhammed, Yahweh, Beelzebub, Marvin the Martian, or whoever folks worship, had landed in Chicago's Grant Park. It was scary.

Now let me be clear. I completely understand the joy black voters must have felt. They've waited a long time for this, and they deserve to rejoice in the moment. However, it was the reaction of the white voters that was so disturbing. You'd have thought they just had their own 200-year-old slate cleaned. And based on what? Absolutely nothing but blind, mindless worship. These are folks who while hating Bush and his policies will now love the same agenda over the next four years.

Oh, and Revered Jackson, you piece of garbage, get one thing straight. Anyone in the know is well aware you couldn't care less about black people. You care about money and your fake image. Take your crocodile tears and drown them - along with yourself - in Lake Michigan.

Obama, McCain: Doing a "Great Job" of Betraying the American People

As far as the MSM is concerned, the 2008 Presidential candidates are stepping up the message and sharpening the focus. Those with their eyes open, however, are finding more tragic comic relief than they could possibly have imagined.

We have McCain complaining that Obama is in Europe, and Obama complaining that he's abroad not doing anything different than McCain. Truth is, Barack is mostly correct. After all, he probably received his talking points back in the first week of June during his "surprise" visit to the Bilderberg meeting on opening night. Both Obama and McCain are fulfilling the Bilderberg, New World Order agenda to perfection.

First off, we have Obama defending his treasonous speech in Berlin last week by saying he and his campaign "did a good job." Well, of course they did. They parroted the NWO message of no borders and no soverignty with perfection, and solidified his nomination. Now, that may seem like an endorsement for the warhawk McCain. NO! He's back in the States running around talking about al-Qaeda, troop surges, and any other GI-Joe-sounding rhetoric that will rally the remains of the right that have forsaken him because, unlike George Bush, he "is not of the Lord."

Obama is clearly the winner. I'm saying it now, write it down, call your bookie; a Five-Star Lock! First off, Obama is getting way too much coverage comparatively. Secondly, all of McCain's comebacks and complaints are very, very far from scandalous. A man like Obama who is running around every part of the world other than his own should be wide open for a crippling attack. Yet witness the weak arsenal McCain is deploying. He was only able to call Obama out on skipping a visit to injured troops in Afghanistan.

Make no mistake here, and don't start in with attacks about my supporting McCain. Read my previous blogs and you'll see I don't even consider McCain a candidate. This is a man who as recently as last week claimed that Saddam Hussien had hopes of WMDs.

Brake for Christians

It appears South Carolina is ready to greenlight a plan allowing for "Christian" license plates. These plates would feature a cross and the words "I believe." This of course is a blatant violation of the separation of church and state. But, they don't care. In fact, S.C.'s Lt. Gov. was quoted as saying, "I think it allows people of faith to profess that they have a higher calling, they believe in God."

Apparently, only Christians (of which I am one, by the way) have a higher calling and believe in a God. Other faiths in the state are more than welcome to their own faith-based license plates, only they have to pay $4000 for one. Other faiths will also be subject to significant limits and regulations not imposed on Christians. Talk about a drawing a big fat line between first and second-class citizens.

The fanatical Christian antics in the Palmetto State don't end there. A colleague alerted me to a group called Christian Exodus. This is an organization bent on moving thousands of Christians to South Carolina to reestablish constitutional and limited government. Now, that sounds all well and fine. I'm all for the constitution. Look a little under the lacy surface, however, and you begin to see the hypocrisy.

http://christianexodus.org

In its list of rights that have been "violated," Christian Exodus mentions such things as being exposed to homosexuality, pornography, sodomy, and other "perversities. [sic]" Of course, none of the aforementioned is illegal (yet, at least) and all are rights under the 4th Amendment (right to privacy). Strange how a group so fixated on Constitutional rights is so quick to dismiss a whole host of them out of hand.

Other violations they mention are the teaching of evolution, and not being able to pray in school (again, division of Church and State, people).

I find it very hard to believe that a group so hung up on homosexuality, porn, Darwinian teachings, and school prayer didn't vote for Bush, Cheney and basically most of the leading Neo-Cons in Congress. And while both Repubs and Dems are bought and paid for, there's no question it's these same Neo-Cons who are leading the charge in destroying each and every facet of the Constitution this exodus group wants to protect.
