No Runny Eggs

The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

Apparently They Do Have Responsibilities

by @ 9:32. Filed under Miscellaneous.

“Community Organizer” has become a running joke in this campaign.   Sarah Palin compared her role as Mayor to Barack Obama’s time as a community organizer by saying, “Being a Mayor is a lot like a community organizer, except it has responsibilities.

Today’s Investor Business Daily gives a detailed look at what being a “community organizer” is in Barack Obama’s world.

A description of what community organizing looks like in Barack Obama’s world

“Our alumni are more than twice as likely as 18-34 year olds to . . . engage in protest activities,” Public Allies boasts in a document found with its tax filings. It has already deployed an army of 2,200 community organizers like Obama to agitate for “justice” and “equality” in his hometown of Chicago and other U.S. cities, including Cincinnati, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, New York, Phoenix, Pittsburgh and Washington. “I get to practice being an activist,” and get paid for it, gushed Cincinnati recruit Amy Vincent.

When they’re not protesting, they’re staffing AIDS clinics, handing out condoms, bailing criminals out of jail and helping illegal aliens and the homeless obtain food stamps and other welfare.

The kicker?

Barack Obama was a founding member of the board of Public Allies in 1992, resigning before his wife became executive director of the Chicago chapter of Public Allies in 1993. Obama plans to use the nonprofit group, which he features on his campaign Web site, as the model for a national service corps. He calls his Orwellian program, “Universal Voluntary Public Service.”

What are the principles of this organization you ask?

Not all the recruits appreciate the PC indoctrination. “It was too touchy-feely,” said Nelly Nieblas, 29, of the 2005 Los Angeles class. “It’s a lot of talk about race, a lot of talk about sexism, a lot of talk about homophobia, talk about -isms and phobias.”

One of those -isms is “heterosexism,” which a Public Allies training seminar in Chicago describes as a negative byproduct of “capitalism, white supremacy, patriarchy and male-dominated privilege.”

(emphasis mine)

Does anyone have any remaining doubts whether Michelle’s statement that America is “down right mean country” was a slip of her tongue or a foundational belief?

If you had any doubts about the danger that Barack Obama is to this country, read the article. Your doubts will fade.

Talking to Four Year Olds – Tax Edition

by @ 5:40. Filed under Taxes.

To hear Barack Obama tell it, his tax plan is one of “fairness” while John McCain’s gives “tax breaks to the wealthy.”   Obama wants to give tax cuts to the “middle class” and “tax the wealthiest 1%.”  

Obama’s words have a great populist sound to them.   Why is taxing the wealthy to pay for cuts for the less wealthy the morally wrong thing to do?

Let’s talk to our four year old.

Let’s imagine you found a wallet that contained $500.   How would you handle that $500?

If you were Barack Obama, you would take that $500, give it to a group you thought was needy and take the credit for the $500 contribution.

If you were John McCain, you would search the wallet, find the owner and return the $500 to the rightful owner.

From Webster:

Confer – to bestow upon as a gift, favor, honor

Barack Obama prefers to confer tax benefits on those he deems worthy.   John McCain will return the money to the rightful owners.

Simple, even for a four year old!
