Twenty years of listening to racist and hateful sermons wasn’t enough to drive Barack Obama to leave his church, but the heat of the Presidential campaign is. What a phony.

On Memorial Day in 1984, President Ronald Reagan gave a speech to commemorate the tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery. While the tomb, like President Reagan’s speech, were focused on those who served and were lost in Vietnam, I think much of it applies today.

Memorial Day is a day of ceremonies and speeches. Throughout America today, we honor the dead of our wars. We recall their valor and their sacrifices. We remember they gave their lives so that others might live.

…

When he spoke at a ceremony at Gettysburg in 1863, President Lincoln reminded us that through their deeds, the dead had spoken more eloquently for themselves than any of the living ever could, and that we living could only honor them by rededicating ourselves to the cause for which they so willingly gave a last full measure of devotion.

…

The Unknown Soldier who is returned to us today and whom we lay to rest is symbolic of all our missing sons, and we will present him with the Congressional Medal of Honor, the highest military decoration that we can bestow.

About him we may well wonder, as others have: As a child, did he play on some street in a great American city? Or did he work beside his father on a farm out in America’s heartland? Did he marry? Did he have children? Did he look expectantly to return to a bride?

We’ll never know the answers to these questions about his life. We do know, though, why he died. He saw the horrors of war but bravely faced them, certain his own cause and his country’s cause was a noble one; that he was fighting for human dignity, for free men everywhere. Today we pause to embrace him and all who served us so well in a war whose end offered no parades, no flags, and so little thanks. We can be worthy of the values and ideals for which our sons sacrificed–worthy of their courage in the face of a fear that few of us will ever experience–by honoring their commitment and devotion to duty and country.

Many veterans of Vietnam still serve in the Armed Forces, work in our offices, on our farms, and in our factories. Most have kept their experiences private, but most have been strengthened by their call to duty. A grateful nation opens her heart today in gratitude for their sacrifice, for their courage, and for their noble service. Let us, if we must, debate the lessons learned at some other time. Today, we simply say with pride, “Thank you, dear son. May God cradle you in His loving arms.”

May God continue to bless this country and all of the real heroes who have sacrificed so we may all remain free. This truly is the greatest country in the world… that wouldn’t be possible without their courage or sacrifice.

Don’t talk about the comments of my pastor for 20 years! Waaaahhhh! Don’t talk about the anti-American comments made by my wife! Waaaahhhh! Don’t talk about my policies towards the terrorist state of Iran! Waaaahhhh! Don’t talk about my voting record (or lack thereof)! Waaaaahhhhh! It seems like all Barack Obama is doing lately is crying. Crying about this, crying about that, calling people “low class” or “bitter” for questioning him and his campaign. If you can’t handle the heat of the primaries, you certainly can’t handle the White House or the job of Commander-in-Chief.

If you want your wife to be First Lady, then her comments are fair game. Cry Baby Barack, get a tissue and get off the stage. For someone from Chicago, you sure are a wimp.

Note to Obama: No one is attacking your wife, but when you put her out on the campaign trail to stump for you, what she says is fair game. This is an issue and this is NOT low class. Get over it, Cry Baby Barack.

My Wife Is Always Proud of America

and our latest… Cry Baby Barack

Funny how President Bush mentioned “people” in his speech yesterday who want to appease terrorists and terrorist regimes, and the entire Democratic Party was (and still is) up in arms. Most thought he was referring to Barack Obama. I’m certain Barack is like the rest of the Elitist Leftists who think the world revolves around them… but someone who places such emphasis on oratory should know that “people” does not equal “one person” and thus President Bush couldn’t have been talking exclusively about Barack Obama. And he wasn’t. He was talking about those people who regurgitate the idea that we must sit down with evil regimes and terrorist states and hold their hands, talking softly to them to find out why they don’t like us. Certainly if we talk to them, we can come to a solution and find common ground. YOU DON’T NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS AND YOU CAN’T FIND COMMON GROUND WITH EVIL DICTATORS OR SOCIOPATHS. But that doesn’t matter to the “Blame America First” crowd who think the answers to the world’s ills is to sit around a camp fire and sing Cumbayah.

The facts in the matter are two fold. First, President Bush was right. Second, he wasn’t talking about Barack Obama. He was talking about Barack Obama (his stated policies), Nancy Pelosi (Syria trip), and Jimmy Carter (Hamas traitor) along with John Kerry, Most of the Democratic Party, a few RINOs, the United Nations General Assembly, some countries prior to the Iraq War (cough… France), Nevel Chamberlain, et all. Quite a few people fit that mold actually, and the President was referring to all of them. So you can quit crying so loudly Barack, it wasn’t just you that George was picking on.

Funny, how when President Bush mentioned “people” he didn’t make any remarks to infer he was talking about Obama… yet Obama was one of the first to whine that the President was attacking him and refute that he wouldn’t talk with terrorists. But if the policy didn’t fit you Barack, how did you know President Bush was referring to you? Ahhh… maybe the shoe fits afterall??

Mike Huckabee said there is a saying in Arkansas that goes something like this… “if you throw a stone over a fence, the dog that whines is the one that got hit.” I’ll put it a simpler way… “the one that smelt it dealt it” and Barack Obama, you stink.

For Barack and the rest of his party, we’ve created a special t-shirt just for you…

Last Night’s Latest “Anti-Obama T-Shirt of the Day” was unceremoniously axed by the folks at CafePress today. Of course it has nothing to do with it being against Obama (who they salivate over daily and longing dream for at night). No, they killed it because you might think Obama’s campaign actually created it themselves. Never mind the countless other designs that use items more similar to the Obama Campaign’s actual intellectual property (obviously were not talking about the candidate himself). The problem is its similar to the Obama Campaign’s designs AND its Anti-Obama. Of course the hypocrisy with CafePress is not at all surprising. Any other campaign and their designs are fair game by the CafePowersThatBe, but Anti-Obama designs consistently strike a nerve with them. I guess, like their candidate, they are just too hyper-sensitive about criticism.

By the way, why is it that Bush’s comments were just directed at Obama? What about Pelosi’s trip to Syria a while back, or Jimmy Carter’s traitorous visits with Hamas? Yes it could be applied to Barack Obama, but it could also apply to THE REST of the Democratic Party of Appeasement. Truth Hurts doesn’t it?

Back to the T-Shirt… When I get back to the “drawing board” I’ll make it a little less similar to Obama Schwag and you can once again order the shirt. Until them, let’s not forget that free speech, caricatures, editorials/editorial cartoons, and the speech latitude normally given when you are dealing with political campaigns only apply when you are leftist making a leftist argument… but when you are attacking Barack Obama… well, you’re just a racist or worse. And so goes speech from now through November.

UPDATE: It is back. A few e-mails back and forth and yesterday’s Anti-Obama shirt is once again for sale. Get yours now before they’re gone again.

Here is the second Anti-Obama T-Shirt of the Day as promised. PHONY. Fake. Insincere. Hypocrite. Obama 08.

The Kentucky Brochure and the suspect timing of the John Edwards Announcement only add fuel to the fire that many of us have been feeling about Obama for a long time. This “hope” and promise of “change” and a “new candidacy” is all a fraud, just like everything else related to Obama. America deserves better, and he’s not it.

Barack Obama’s stance against wearing an American Flag lapel pin is pretty well known. It’s not that he doesn’t support America he says, but he doesn’t want to use the flag for political gain or as a substitute for patriotism or the war. Symbols don’t equate to actions, or so his theory goes, and it seems the flag means more than just wearing it on your lapel to make a statement.

So while he won’t use the American Flag to advance his political career, he doesn’t mind using the Cross, a symbol of Jesus and the Crucification to Christians. And that appalls me.

So basically, its ok to use Christ for political gain, but not the American flag? To all those people who gave Huckabee flack for the political ad with the supposed subliminal cross in the background… where are you now on this?

To me its pretty simple. Its ok to use the cross for political gain but not the flag if you are Barack Obama. Thus the cross is less important (or sacred) to Barack Obama than the flag, and we all know how little he likely feels about the flag (based on his wife’s and pastor’s comments). Just another example of political opportunism, hypocrisy and lies from Candidate Obama. So much for change.

The first of two Anti-Obama designs today, “West Virginia Doesn’t Like Obama Either“. I’ve never been more proud of my friends in West Virginia, who seemed much smarter than North Carolinians yesterday.

Due to some technical issues, I wasn’t able to post the “Anti-Obama T-Shirt of the Day.” But don’t fear… after Hillary’s decisive victory in West Virginia, I’ll have two Anti-Obama designs to post tomorrow. I hope Hillary keeps fighting until the votes have been counted in all 57 states.

It’s one of the first Anti-Obama designs we ever did. It’s simple, and it gets the point across pretty quickly. It is still one of our most popular. Surprisingly, we’ve sold a few dozen Infant Body Suits and Infant/Toddler T-Shirts.

Our newest t-shirt design, Barack Obama: Empty Suit. I think that pretty much says it all. Rather fitting too, considering the latest postering regarding the Gas Tax. I would save about $90-$100 if we had a gas tax holiday over the summer. My brother would save close to $140. Would that make a difference in our households… absolutely. I’m not suggesting the oil companies pay the gas tax though. I say the government goes without it for a while. Millions of Americans across the country are having to tighten their belts and cut back because prices are going up while incomes are staying stagnant or going down. Why can’t our government do the same thing?

Oh yeah… its not their money they are playing with. Its ours. And the more they take from us, the more they get. Meanwhile, the rest of us have to learn to live on less and less as we struggle to live up to our obligations and balance our household budgets. But that’s ok… that $90-$100 I would save this summer is just a pander, so I really don’t want it. Yeah Right.
