Obama’s here and now every freak in the country stands at the ready to control everyone else’s behavior. I see dark days ahead. Great article though.

The Utah Utes marching band has been invited to the parade. I’m sure the ACLU will be out to get them as well, even though the Ute tribe, similar to the Wyandotte, are supportive of the nickname use.

Perhaps the U. was invited to promote the recent PC fantasy from the sports media that the #2 college football team should be considered the real national champion.

By the way, the Obama people issued the invitation about one week ago, by which time there was no lodging available. That’s the sort of pie-in-the-sky planning we can expect from Hope and Change over the next two years. (To its credit, the U. is handling it as best they can, asking DC-area alumni to house the band members. As a BYU alumnus, I’ll not house anyone on official Ute business, but I wish them good luck.)

These grievance mongers will never be satisfied. Ever. Give them what they ask for and they’ll come up with something else to whine and cry about. Someone in authority needs to develop the guts to tell these losers to just f*ck off and stop wasting everybodies time.

I wont hold my breath though. Everyone seems too preoccupied with working hard to avoid imagined insults rather than dealing with actual problems that really affect peoples lives. The tiny bubble of civilisation we live in is going to pop one day because we spend too much time giving voice to the weak and the stupid. Enough already.

The only thing missing is the open bar and “ecstasy”.

Will the Ruckus Society, they of the black costumes and vandalized McDonalds, march in the parade? What of ACORN and the rest of the aligned community activists who made the Big O’s presidency a reality? Will they have multi-colored floats and throw grievance petitions into the assembled throngs of doe eyed supporters?
This may become the largest street party in inauguration history, a chance to party down and celebrate the final victory of leftist ideology over reason, or it may become a parody of every anti-war riot which has ever flared into violence.
My only question; will the Big O pardon any rioters who get caught up in the moment and arrested for toppling the Jefferson Memorial as a protest against Dead White Males?

Jan 13, 2009 - 6:08 am 7. bill:

As an American of Swedish descent, I am appalled at the use of “Vikings” as a sports team moniker. Those hairy, muscular, testosterone-saturated brutes bear no resemblance to the emasculated wimps that truly characterize the modern Swedish male. I demand that this insulting misnomer be replaced by the “Gay-Tolerators” or “Fighting Bureaucrats”.

Jan 13, 2009 - 6:31 am 8. ThinkingPerson:

I’m keeping an eagle-eye out for the Black Panther float! Wonder if they’ll throw candy to the crowd or leaflets outlining their plans to be the civil patrol that Obama promised back during the election?

Texas A&M University holds an annual contest for The Most Appropriate Definition of a Contemporary Term. In 2007, the chosen term was Political Correctness. This was the winning entry:

Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous main stream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

Great article, which clearly shows that the inmates are running the asylum. I’m sitting here shaking my head and LMAO.

Jan 13, 2009 - 6:56 am 10. The Wizard:

On January 20th, our country will being a new era of total self-destruction under the guidance of the Obamanation. His egocentric behavior, his lack of sound judgment, his racist beliefs, combine his idiotic selections for cabinet and key positions jeopardize all Americans. For the first time in our history, we are losing our freedoms, our constitutional rights as the Empty Suit wants to turn us into a new USSR! Most concering is his outrageous position on the CIA, intelligence community and the protection of our country. I suspect within weeks of his presidency, this country and primarily our key cities will be hit severely by terrorist. He will then wonder how this happened and have no excuses given his recent proclamations. We have elected a man based solely on race, not leadership, credibility, wisdom, character or honor. America will pay an enormous price for this man.

Jan 13, 2009 - 7:27 am 11. Kathryn (Reagan Conservative Petition):

I’m most upset about the incompetence that is decending into the leadership across the board in the new administration.

We’ve got a war against Islamic radicals and we have a bunch of politically correct head-in-the-sand ostriches in power now.

Jan 13, 2009 - 7:37 am 12. Michael Canzano:

Seems the “New Racism” is “Anti-Racism”. The NAACP continues to promote racism. Truth is a greater percentage of the black population hates whites than the percentage of whites hating blacks.
Obama was elected because whites voted for him. No minortity can carry an election sans the white vote.
Show me a country where blacks have a better life ? Show me a country that allows subversive organizations such as …NAACP , CAIR , La Raza , MEChA , ANSWER ,ACLU etc to operate within that countries boundaries ?
An American has the right to his own racial opinions . If hate were a crime all of France and all Democrats would have to be indicted.

I see people walking around the streets of Toronto in full Obama-mania gear (t-shirts, hats, buttons, etc) and this is Canada. Obama is a pop star. This was truly an election of charisma over quality. Americans do not know the dangers of Socialism. Trudeau destroyed Canada with it, and now Obama is trying to do the same to America. G-d bless you all.

7. bill;
Congratulations; Direct hit.
10. The wizard; wise words. I hope that prophecy doesn’t materialize.
Steven Chu is going before Congress today for his confirmation hearings and will probably be overshadowed by Hillary’s hearings.
Chu wants to raise gasoline prices to the $8.00 figure to get Americans off gas. This is such an excellent move, since other large energy dependent, producing nations are tapping into their energy sources for MORE energy. They’re even increasing their use of coal.
If I went to Washington today, I’d probably see Congress out on the veranda engaged in a spitting contest, all facing up wind.

Jan 13, 2009 - 7:52 am 15. Saltherring:

Too bad leftists distain capitalism…consider the windfall they are missing! Think big! A Connecticut Ave Street Fair with tattoo parlors, piercing booths, black hood boutique, Communist Party booth, Live CNN/MSNBC broadcast stations, Federal job recruitment center, pre-fab welfare office, Social Security sign up center for illegal aliens, GLBT bathhouses and kissing booth, ACORN voter registration stand, Hamas/Hezbollah recruiters, free bong hits from NORML, US Government Mint printing press offering unlimited free samples, labor union corruption training, Congressman/Senators for hire, Federally funded abortion clinic, Federal bailout $$$ tutorials, complementary Bill Clinton Cigars, pyrotechnics seminar/display by Bill Ayers, Church of ALGORE/Global Warming Worship Center, banking ethics seminar featuring Barney Frank, Ted Kennedy Driving School, NOW divorce/alimony primer, Shakedown tutorial by Jesse Jackson, Creative Accounting classes by FORMER FANNIE MAE/FREDDIE MAC Executives, NEA Literacy Center for beginning readers (public school graduates only), Foreign Affairs seminar from Jimmy Carter….the possibilities are UNLIMITED!

Jan 13, 2009 - 7:55 am 16. DonJoe:

Are Christians guilty of hate speech?

A working definition of hate speech is “speech that is intended to insult, intimidate, or cause prejudice against a person or people based on their race, gender, age, sexual orientation, political affiliation, occupation, disability, or physical appearance.” If that is the accepted definition, a Christian should never participate in hate speech. However, the problem is that the definition of hate speech is broadening over time. Proclaiming that a certain belief is wrong or that a certain activity is sinful, based on biblical principles, is increasingly being included in the definition of hate speech.

It is likely that in the near future, governments will begin declaring more speech as hate speech, thereby making it illegal. In some parts of the world, it is illegal to say that homosexuality is a sin. In some countries, it is illegal to declare one religion right and other religions wrong. This steady broadening of what qualifies as hate speech could eventually lead to any effort to evangelize being declared hate speech, since it would be “hateful” to tell a person that what he/she currently believes is incorrect.

What the perpetrators of this expanded hate speech definition fail to realize (or admit) is that to tell someone the truth is an act of love, not hate.

Is it hateful for a teacher to tell a student that his/her answer is wrong? Is it hateful for a building inspector to tell a construction company that they are building on a faulty foundation? Of course the answer to these questions is a resounding no.

However, that is precisely the illogic that is being applied to current hate speech legislation. Telling someone that his/her religious views are wrong is somehow hateful. Telling someone that his/her lifestyle is immoral is somehow hateful. The logic is not, in any sense, consistent with how truth is determined in other areas of society.

As Christians, our goal is to speak the truth in love. We do not hate Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Catholics, Mormons, or Jehovah’s Witnesses. Rather, we simply believe that these groups are making some serious theological and biblical errors.

We do not hate homosexuals, adulterers, pornographers, transsexuals, or fornicators. Rather, we simply believe that those who commit such acts are making immoral and ungodly decisions.

Telling someone that he/she is in the wrong is not hateful. In reality, refusing to tell someone the truth is what is truly hateful.

Declaring the speaking of truth, presented respectfully, to be hate speech, is in fact the ultimate demonstration of hate.

Steve Gill: “Obama’s inaugural procession will be a carnival of political correctness.”
And after this administration gets rolling, they’re going to have to rename the Special Olympics.

Fortunately, once these PC nut-bags have eliminated their opposition, they will begin to consume each other. We’re in for a treat for the next four years to see which of the PC forces will dominate and which one’s will go the way of Cindy Shehan to be thrown under the bus.

Jan 13, 2009 - 8:06 am 20. Pam:

The Chicago Blackhawks better look out . . they could be next. Then the Kansas City Chiefs not to mention the Washington Redskins.

After the inauguration, the New England Patriots will be forced to change their name to anything except in reference to Indians or patriotic. Maybe the New England Eskimos?

Of course the Pittsburgh Steelers are okay . . after all, that’s how this illegal alien-elect won the election.

Jan 13, 2009 - 8:09 am 21. UsaBruce:

Well said saltherring. For myself, I’m praying for the hardest rain since the Great Flood. I’d like to see God go biblical on ‘em.

Great thought, UsaBruce, I will join you.

Let’s wait and report on the facts.
It’s going to be hard enough to deal with these loons without the fevered conjecture we all seemn to be engaged in.
Watch what they do, report on it, and hold their feet to the fore on that alone.

B Dubya – Good advice.

Re Michael’s comment: “Seems the “New Racism” is “Anti-Racism”. The NAACP continues to promote racism. Truth is a greater percentage of the black population hates whites than the percentage of whites hating blacks.”

Exactly. Can we get some politically correct people working on all the racist black people please? We could start with Jeremiah Wright, Michelle Obama, Donna Brazile, Ludacris, Spike Lee and other such celebrity racists that will no doubt attend the inauguration.

Jan 13, 2009 - 11:54 am 29. mohammed:

Woo hoo! whatever. Barrack HUSSEIN Obama won and you guys lost big time. Even John McCain does not have so much sour grapes as you guys. Migrate to Israel if you cannot stand the next four years, because I don’t think the Canadians will accept you. Forgot, neither will the Europeans will. You may stand a chance in East Asia though.

Speaking about tongue-in-cheek. Do you honestly believe this claptrap?

Jan 13, 2009 - 1:02 pm 30. njcommuter:

All history has regretable elements as well as noble elements. We need to learn the noble elements to learn who we are; we need to learn the regretable elements to know what prices were paid to make us who we are. And we need to learn how to avoid making mistakes by studying past mistakes.

The only way to hide the ugliness in our history is to destroy that history. And a people that has burnt its history has a hollow present, and little assurance of any future.

Jan 13, 2009 - 1:21 pm 31. Saltherring:

No, I guess you wouldn’t understand, mohammed. Christians are commanded in the Bible to love their neighbor, whereas Muslims are taught only to hate.

Jan 13, 2009 - 1:41 pm 32. Chippy:

I wonder how many cars will be upside down and on fire? The bars will be open later than usual on the 20th. Look for all these crazy loons to be drunk and showing off there BDS. The jail cells will be full and the court docket will be long. I just hope we get to see it all on “Live, from Washington, D,C. It’s Barak Obama Live”

Jan 13, 2009 - 1:54 pm 33. Wookapoo!:

29. mohammed: Refusing to tolerate intolerance is intolerant. I.N.T.O.L.E.R.A.N.T.!!! If you do not support my right to discriminate, you are discriminating against me! As Ann Coulter said, the oppressors are ALWAYS the victims and the victims are ALWAYS the oppressors. See? You are a disgusting, anti-American traitor whose filthy Islamic ways are a danger to your eternal soul and to the eternal souls of those you might corrupt with your broken teachings. And if you criticize my criticism, you’re oppressing me you oppressor.

Jan 13, 2009 - 2:39 pm 34. Pappadave:

I read somewhere today that there are still 600 hotel rooms available in the D.C. area the week of the coronation. Where are all those 3,000,000 expected going to stay, one wonders? Also, within 200 miles of DC, there are over 12 THOUSAND available rooms. Someone made a list of houses people are willing to rent out to party-goers and thousands showed up to get on that list. As of today, 12 people have rented their homes for the “Great Occasion.”

Jan 13, 2009 - 3:42 pm 35. FrannieM:

I’d love to see pix of the DC streets taken the morning after jugears in chief is annointed by the leftist pagans, vampires and devil worshipers. Bet it costs gazillions to clean up the place when they’re through – or maybe just another trillion of OUR tax dollars. This is certainly one way to get reparations from all those “guilty” white folks. Regardless, we will all be paying and paying and paying in so many ways for the next 4 years. Hail to the narcissist in chief.

Jan 13, 2009 - 4:03 pm 36. thegre8_1:

Frannie good point go to a GOP event and afterward there will not be a crumb or piece of paper on the ground. And they will only have 5000 portapotties for all these pottymouths.
Will they have people going around with tire gauges checking everyone’s air pressure? They shouldn’t let any vehicles into DC that are not in compliance. This is what America has voted for This Is American Idol. I’d rather see David Cook be sworn in but he isn’t old enough but can prove his citizenship.

44. Cybergeezer, “thank God” is right. This sounds bizarre but the heinous act of abortion could offer our best hope for the future – the hope that the freakin’ soul-less left will abort itself into oblivion.

Jan 14, 2009 - 3:13 pm 49. Cybergeezer:

Yea; Obama, Pelosi, Clinton, Reid, Frank, Rangel, and Blagojevich are proof that abortion doesn’t always work.

Gee i guess that would explain why nobody is fixing the infrastructures of countries around the world EH?

Abortionists Must Be Delirious with Joy over Obama Prospects

I can’t say I’ve ever met a happy leftist nor a happy pro-abortionist. Of course, those categories invariably overlap since I’ve never met a leftist who wasn’t pro-abortion and vice versa.

It’s understandable that those of a leftist bent are rarely if ever happy people considering that their entire social/political philosophy revolves around negatives: anti-Americanism, anti-freedom, anti-truth, and anti-life. They are adept at feigning happiness but fail to fool anyone, especially themselves.

Those most committed to abortion rights, aka committed to destroying pre-born life, are easily the most miserable lefties. Yet, they don’t know it. The women of the left have killed untold numbers of their own pre-born children and many, such as Whoopi Goldberg, are astoundingly proud of their actions.

Whoopi is a star in Abortion World. She not only has aborted six of her babies but is so stinking proud of that dubious achievement that she wants reverence for the leftist sacrament that is abortion: http://www.moonbattery.com/archives/2007/10/whoopi_goldberg.html.

With the election of Barack Hussein Obama, however, the pro-aborts have many valid reasons for elation,. . .

…a left-wing hissy fit over Pastor Rick Warren being invited to give a prayer at the inauguration.

That’s all right, Barry’s team has now balanced it out by inviting that really mouthy guy from the Episcopal church, Gene Robinson …the first openly gay, non-celibate priest to be ordained a bishop in a major Christian denomination believing in the historic episcopate to give a prayer also.

I think Gene Robinson (whose lifestyle has caused much dissension within the ranks of the Episcopal church) once said he “always wanted to be a bride.”

Let’s see… a single nut-job protests a marching band’s name, and suddenly that’s somehow the fault of all Democrats, or liberals, or Obama? That’s pretty darn silly. That would be like saying that all conservatives lack a basic knowledge of major supreme court decisions because Sarah Palin apparently lacked such knowledge, or that all conservatives lack knowledge of small business tax issues simply because Joe the Plummer was ignorant on the subject. But hey, if this is the way the conservative press is going to hand-wring over the next four years, it should be an amusing four years.
