William D. Hedges, Gainesville writes another letter to the Editor: “I fear Obama will fail: As an ardent Democrat, I am resigned to the fact that Obama will lose. Why? Few will admit it, but when Americans enter the voting booth and are all alone, not many are going to vote for a black over a white. And, yes, I am deeply saddened because his impending defeat, despite the tragedy and devastation of the last eight years will be very clear indication of how far we have yet to go before we reach the dream of which Dr. King spoke with such eloquence.”

With all his infinite wisdom, Hedges has gazed into the future and seen a devastating loss for Senator Obama this November, because of the deep seeded racism inherent in our society. If we could only see past skin color, we could be saved from ourselves. Alas, it is not meant to be.

What is it with the left and losing elections? Even in imaginary elections, they’re never able to accept defeat with grace or humility. They always claim to have been cheated. Either the election was “stolen” or the mindless, ignorant masses were brainwashed by “Rove’s Haliburton Financed Propaganda Machine” or the voting public is a bunch of rubes too racist to recognize that “The One” has arrived in the form of Obama. Hedges is truly convinced that the gene pool has not yet caught up to him. Innate and nuanced brilliance such as his is simply too small in numbers. Leftists are incapable of wrapping their minds around the fact that we’ve examined their views and found them to be seriously flawed.

We are fully engaged in the arena of ideas and we reject leftist dogma.

No one regardless of income should pay 35% of that income to the Federal Government. Unelected judges should not throw out the will of the people by judicial fiat. America is not on the verge of depression and can’t be improved by the income redistribution schemes of liberals. We reject moral relativism. Oppressive regimes such as Iran and Venezuela should not be offered a seat at the international table. Islamofacists don’t have legitimate grievances against the West and there’s no equivalence whatsoever in Russia invading a sovereign neighbor and our removing a thug dictator in Saddam.

We’re not brainwashed, ignorant or racist Mr. Hedges. We are competing with you in the arena of ideas with the expressed goal of defeating you and Obama, because we think that you are misguided to the point of being dangerous.

John Lewis Gaddis: But I can say this on the basis of direct observation: President Bush is interested—as no other occupant of the White House has been for quite a long time—in how the past can provide guidance for the future.

Steve Diamond: Perhaps realizing that there is no hope on the Ayers issue, the Obama campaign began its strategic retreat today.

TigerHawk quotes Mike Huckabee: “(Sarah Palin) got more votes running for mayor of Wasilla, Alaska than Joe Biden got running for president.” Ouch!

TigerHawk: Sarah Palin in the British press

I know that some of you will be jealous about this next story, I am. This is something we’ve all wanted to do. This lady does it and still makes her plane on time.

According to the lefties, America is broken. Doom and gloom all around us. It’s a complete disaster. People can’t decide whether to buy dogfood or prescription drugs. What’s for dinner tonight? Rats of course.

10 to 1 this priest is firing up a doobie right now!

Have you ever felt like someone threw you in trash and almost buried you under 50 tonnes of rubish?

This guy is lying. Can you believe the story he is trying to pass off on his family?

Newsbusters Noel Sheppard: New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd even went so far as to quote someone in her most recent article who depicted the “weird and jittery” vibe inside the Pepsi Center as “Submerged hate.”

Economy-The Pie Got Bigger: Average U.S. income fell when George Bush took office in 2001. Naturally, Democrats and the media unfairly blamed him for it. But now Americans are better off than when Bill Clinton was president.

There’s more good news: Despite an economy starting to wobble, incomes were up and more people had health insurance last year, the Census Bureau reported Tuesday. Income inequality even shrank a bit.

Ed Morrissey: … combined with the so-called “sign of progress”, Barack Obama may be better suited to run for the presidency of the United Federation of Planets than the USA.  Allahpundit reported last night on the plans for Obama to deliver his acceptance speech in front of a fake Greek temple, and John McCormack has the picture.

 “A Caring Floridian” writes: Dear Gentleman, I found the following email link to contact Mayor Ray Nagin.  I thought it would be a good idea for as many people as possible to contact Mr. Nagin and advise him to be prepared because Hurricane Gustav could be headed in his direction.  We could actually help New Orleans not to suffer as tragically as they did in 2005 in the aftermath of Katrina.  We could effectively warn them that the storm is coming.  It is a possibility however, that they may be aware of the impending storm because some of the residents acquired new flat screen televisions.  But we do not know if they also acquired cable or satellite service as well.  We should all do our part before the storm.  We could lend a hand, and help the poor and indigent citizens of New Orleans, by getting the word out now while there is time to board up the rental centers and Wal-Marts, load the busses and prepare the levies.

I truly tried to make it through the entire DNC convention last night but just couldn’t do it. Kennedy threw me over the top. I’m surprised that I made it through Jimma’s nonsense. What is it with the Democrat’s fascination with negativity? It was the same thing 4 years ago. Bluenosin’, complaining, back biting and I even heard a rumor that Biden cried. Is it bad to call the lefties panty wastes? Probably so. OK, pretend that I didn’t say it please.

Which brings us to this next story. A 9 year boy is too good of a baseball pitcher….so kick him out of the league because he makes the other kids feel bad about losing? Where are the parents in this whole mess? Leading the way of course.

I’ll be dipped in sugar and thrown to the ants. Not really, but it’s nice to learn something new every day.

This was sent over by Poop Master Jon. How could I resist not putting up in the blog?

The Nuns aren’t going to have their beauty contest after all.
