Re: Predictions by Kit Lange (who doesn't know what she's talking about) |

Posted by AMoreira81 on Mon Dec 15 18:55:06 2008, in response to Predictions by Kit Lang, posted by Jeff Rosen on Mon Dec 15 18:23:44 2008. Title corrected for actual name---and to note that she's essentially a purveyor of poisonous Flavor-Aid.A source was found on the internet...I think it's this (and your post copied it verbatim). Kit Lange is drinking bad Kool-Aid if she thought that---and if she still thinks that. Now, time to debunk her points (you're simply the messenger). A similar post will be posted on Euphoric Reality. - Israel will understand this election was the end of any type of assistance, military or otherwise, from the U.S., and will stop holding back their defense at the request of the American administration. Look for a first strike on Iran soon, as well as increased activity by the Israeli military in general. Israel is on her own now, and God help us all because of it. Where did Obama say that he was ending aid to Israel? HINT: If he implied that, then McCain would have won Florida and possibly Virginia---and Illinois would have been very close, as Chicagoland has a heavy Jewish presence. - Look for Iranian retaliation--against American targets. That goes doubly for other terrorist organizations. We just elected a man with the full endorsement of every major terrorist group in the world as leader of the free world. It's the political equivalent of hiring a child molester to babysit your kids while you leave for the weekend. What endorsements? I dare Kit Lange to produce those endorsements. Not only is HE going to have fun with your child, but he'll probably sit and watch while his friends come over and do it too. Also, if McCain made a good enough case to be POTUS (and didn't fall into the trap Obama set in PA), he would have won. - Look for far-left justices appointed to the Supreme Court, effectively tying up the entire government in a trifecta of liberal humanism, the buzzwords of which remain empty platitudes like "hope and change," and the ultimate goal of which is socialism--and soon, sharia law. Far left justices would never go over well. Many of the new Democratic Party pickups were in states that normally don't trend Democrat, or were of moderate Democrats. Left of center judges would surely be nominated, but not THAT far left. Besides, the right should only need to worry if the justice that needs to be replaced is Antonin Scalia (who is far right but close to Ginsburg's age) or Anthony Kennedy (a real conservative, one that was lacking among Bush's appointees). - Military cases of troops being tried and convicted for killing the enemy in combat will continue to rise--and the conviction/plea-bargain rate will stay at nearly 100%, as the government seeks to use the best men and women this country has to offer as sacrificial lambs on the altar of global appeasement. Those brave and honorable men who currently reside in prison cells across the country, stripped of their rank, their careers, families, and their good name, will not taste free air again for many years. Their sacrifices and their stories will be forgotten by the general public, remembered only by those of us who continue to fight for them. Except when it doesn't happen. This is Lange trying to force Kool-Aid down my throat, and I intend to throw it back in her face...preferably drinking a sip and spitting it back. She doesn't know what she's talking about. - Look for the slow but steady erosion of rights you have enjoyed for your entire lives--all the while being told it's "for your own good." WRONG! The one who has been calling Bush out on taking rights away has been Anthony Kennedy, a conservative who is just barely right of center...but a man of whom the GOP apparently wants no part. Restrictions on gun ownership, home schooling, encouraged dependence on the ever-growing federal government. More nanny-state provisions will be put into place to protect the "disadvantaged" and the "poor," (read: lazy, uneducated, unwilling to better themselves) even while groups like the unborn, the mentally handicapped, elderly, and terminally ill are slowly pushed toward euthanasia. Of course, this will be done with feel-good phrases like "death with dignity," "not wanting to be a burden," and "merciful release from suffering," all of which ignore the basic fact that we are killing people without their consent for the "good of the people." Before you tell me I'm crazy, let's just remember that Barack Obama was the ONLY senator in the Illinois state senate to vote against providing medical care for babies who were inconsiderate enough to survive an abortion. Also, look for taxes to go up. Yes, they'll go up. 1. Restrictions on gun ownership on the level Lange thinks were recently outlawed in DC v. Heller...and again, Anthony Kennedy, a moderate conservative, was the deciding vote. 2. Even in light of that vote in the Illinois state legislature, Lange is crazier than those locked up in mental institutions. Also, a bill striking down parental notifications and making abortion policy like that of New York State won't even get a majority vote, let alone pass a likely filibuster. - You think the economy is bad now? Just wait. You'll have the most expensive "free" health care ever. Bread lines aren't just for Russians anymore. Except when the economy gets better. The few taxes that the Democrats would let expire in 2010 are tax cuts that should be allowed to expire. None are being allowed to expire earlier. We have traded experience for color, freedom for slavery--and the irony is that the average American sheeple thinks their vote somehow righted an ancient wrong, somehow ENDED the spectre of slavery and ushered in some beautiful era of liberty. In reality, we are about to be less free than you ever thought possible. No we didn't. McCain simply never made his case...even if 56 million people voted for him. 63 million people could have voted for him and McCain would still have lost, 269-269 with Democrats controlling the House. Those who voted for Obama voted for Obama for one of two reasons. 1. He spoke to their needs directly. 2. People felt either that McCain's health was a concern, or that he was really running for Palin; in short, that McCain would resign and allow Sarah Palin to take this country on an extreme right turn. It's no accident that Virginia snapped a 44-year streak of going for the Republican candidate---and 6 percent isn't close. North Carolina was because of Barr, but that's insignificant. I watched the faces of those crowded into the mob (excuse the pun) in Chicago. They stared at Obama like he was a god, an idol, a panacea to their every want and need. We have truly failed as a nation if we are at the point where we feel we must look to one man to take care of us all, to be our father figure and our sugar daddy. We have lost not only the "can-do" attitude of past generations, but the "MUST-do" attitude of our forefathers. We have allowed ourselves to become reduced from Patrick Henry's proud cry of "liberty or death" to the sniveling, whining idea that we are owed something. We have gone from being the honorable defenders of freedom, to being told we are the problem. Kit Lange is sounding more and more like Artie Lange here. Is she saying that people in Obama's home state shouldn't be glad that one of their own won? Or is she really speaking to how desperate the military is to get people? (There are many smart and intelligent minds in the military, and some are rightfully getting vindication. Lange isn't one of those smart people.) The eyes of Obama and McCain were also telling. McCain acted with class and grace in his concession speech , offering the most honorable response I've seen yet. I don't agree with all of McCain's positions, but it cannot be denied that the man has served his nation--at permanent and severe detriment to himself--for half a century. His eyes were clear and sincere, honest. His speech underlined the very reasons why, of the two men offered, he was hands down the best choice. This is the first thing on which Lange is right...that the concession speech was handled with class. However, if McCain was the better choice, he would have gotten to 270 electoral votes. And don't give me any of this bull____ that no blue state could be flipped red? It matters not that none of the states to 270 was won by Obama with less than 8.5 percent of the popular vote. McCain could still have won a few of those states. On the other hand, Obama's eyes were cold, calculating. His manner was smug and still carried the arrogance he has always had. His facial expression was one of barely disguised disdain for everything people like me believe in. His body language was smooth, polished-- too much so. He talked of patriotism as though it is a value he is familiar with--and yet, his horrifying attitude toward the country he now leads is as well-documented as his friendships with those who seek its demise. He is charismatic to those who don't know what to look for, and he is inspiring to those who cannot or will not think for themselves. However, too many who voted for him are guilty of the most dangerous kind of hypocrisy. You see, we are told daily that we must not see color, just mankind. (We are all family, you know--or so we're told.) And yet Barack Obama was handed the White House on a silver platter by a fawning media, a bevy of foreign donors (who, to this day and in violation of U.S. election laws, remain nameless and unaccounted for), and a populace who voted based on color instead of right and wrong--even in the face of the most damning evidence against a Presidential candidate in many years , perhaps ever. What horrifying attitude? And what arrogance? And people didn't vote for him on the basis of color alone (even without the economy, McCain would have won more popular votes, but likely tied and going on to lose the tiebreaker). It is said that the people receive the government they deserve. Sadly, I fear that's correct. We have become complacent, unwilling to see the writing on the wall, content to frolic in the warm water without bothering to notice that it's been getting hotter by the minute. We are two seconds from a rolling boil--and perhaps it is already too late. Lange should be appreciating. The GOP put itself in this mess. They won't get back Congress in 2010, but they may in 2012 if they remember for what they are supposed to stand.) So, liberals, enjoy your victory. Jump around. Have a party, file for your free grants. Scream "Gimme my handout!" and make fun of those of us who fought to make sure your "messiah" didn't get access to the most powerful position in the world. Just remember when it all comes crashing down: You own the White House, the Congress, and soon the Supreme Court. You have no one to blame but yourselves for the mess you just created. As for me, I'm buying my handguns this week so I have an answer for those who will come try to take them. I'm not waiting for a handout---and anyone who is should be ashamed of themselves. As for the Supreme Court...that's not happening unless something unexpected happens to Antonin Scalia or Anthony Kennedy. And as for handguns, see earlier. If Kit Lange were a real patriot...and this is a direct questioning of her patriotism...she would be behind the President 100 percent, even if she voted for the losing candidate. If she feels so miserable---well move to another country. She can disagree...but there is a difference between disagreeing and forcing Kool-Aid. |
