Obama: Messiah for the Young
2008-10-10 16:58:00 "Brothers and sisters," Farrakhan said, "Barack Obama to me, is a herald of the Messiah . Barack Obama is like the trumpet that alerts you something new, something better is on the way."Farrakhan points out that the man Nation of Islam followers refer to as "the Savior," Fard Muhammad, had a black father and a white mother, just as Obama did."A black man with a white mother became a savior to us," he said. "A black man with a white mother could turn out to be one who can lift America from her fall."Would God allow Barack to be president of a country that has been so racist, so evil in its treatment of Hispanics, native Americans, blacks?" he asked. "Would God do something like that? Yeah. Of course he would. That's to show you that the stone that the builders rejected has become the headstone of the corner. This is a sign to you. It's the time of our rise. It's the time that we should take our place. The future is all about you."See the rest at www.AnAmericanFrontPorch.com More About: Young , The Young

The Experts Predictions for October 11th:
2008-10-09 15:07:00 Here are Chris Lowe's picks for this coming weekend. Look for our prognostications for this weekend to come soon. Yeah-- we're better than these guys._________Florida 28, LSU 21: For all the grumbling you're hearing out of Florida about the offense, you'd think the Gators were having trouble making a first down. Granted, Tim Tebow isn't putting up outer space-like numbers again this season, but they are first in the SEC in scoring offense and third in total offense. They're also right there in the middle of the Eastern Division race and will take big step toward getting to Atlanta when they play their most complete game of the season in taking down the Tigers at the Swamp.Auburn 21, Arkansas 10: There's a little bit of everything going on in this game. Tommy Tuberville fired his offensive coordinator, Tony Franklin, earlier this week. It's the first meeting between Bobby Petrino and Tuberville since the attempted coup against Tuberville back in 2003 when Auburn officials too... More About: Predictions , Experts , October
Another Cigar Shop Review:
2008-10-09 14:00:00 Thanks for the submissions! Here's another cigar shop review!1. Your name and locationScottSweetwater, TN2. Along with the name of the shop, describe it's interior and exterior appearance.Leaf and AleKnoxville, TnThis shop is tucked in a shopping center on a main road in Knoxville, It had the outer apperance of just another tobacco shop but when you come in you are greeted by friendly staff, and a warm atmosphere.3. Humidor type? Wall or walk-in? How wide a selection? Condition of humidor?They have 2 humidors, both a walk in and a free standing, both in very good condition and well maintained.4. Any little known, great smokes that you found?I am new to the cigar world so I dont really know whats out there, but they told me of an event they are having and looks like something I would like to try. They are having a launch party for the new Macanudo 1968.5. How are their prices?Again I am fairly new to the world of cigars but the prices seemed fair to me and I got 4 cigars and a cut...

Angry Conservative
2008-10-08 20:00:00 I am a conservative and I am angry. It continues to be my hope that Senator McCain would begin to speak the Reaganesque mantra that the malignancy of America is her bloated and chronically intrusive federal government. However, the closer we move towards November, the more improbable this becomes. The Arizona Senator shows nothing but disdain for conservatism as "partisan politics". Along with this realization comes the undeniable inevitability of an Obama presidency. This is not the Illinois legislator's fault. He is an unashamed liberal with an obvious bent towards socialism. To Obama, government is the answer to all problems. I can respectfully disagree with this man. I could have coffee with him and we could discuss our differences of opinion. Of course, I would win and he would eventually be ashamed of himself for ever holding to such foolish viewpoints. But, Senator McCain, to you my words would not be kind and my attitude much more abrasive. You have been given an opportunit... More About: Conservative , Angry
And You Think This is a Good Plan?
2008-10-08 14:56:00 by Nicole McIntyreWhile I was in the car last night, I had the local talk radio station on and they were talking about Louisiana State Representative John LaBruzzo's plan to help get his state off of generational welfare. Apparently this is week old news, but with the stupidity of the bailout I had missed it.I did a little bit of research last night and still really haven't formed an truly informed opinion. I think we do have a problem with generational welfare, but is the answer really conning women to have their tubes tied? I'm sure they could say no, but how much education are the ones who say "yes" going get? And a $1000 dollars sure would seem like a lot of money to people who have none. It's like a lottery for baby mommas.My problem isn't if it's racist or socioeconomically biased; I just think it's a bad plan. Here's a way to get rid of generational welfare: take it away. We have term limits for what seems like everything else, but not welfare. I'm all for a program... More About: Good , Plan
Soros, Sandler, and SNL
2008-10-07 20:00:00 Apparently old George Soros and the gang are up to what they do best...SNL swung for the fences and actually hit one recently with a sketch about the bailout. This sketch, deeply critical of both sides involved has vanished into thin air after George Soros and a few of his associates discovered it.Here's Malkin's writeup.Below is the entire transcript of the sketch, from Malkin's site.Your thoughts?_______The forbidden skit: Full transcript and screenshots of SNL?s Soros/Sandler bailout satire By Michelle Malkin ? October 7, 2008 01:06 AM NBC is furiously erasing its tracks. Any attempts to upload the forbidden SNL bailout skit skewering George Soros and his left-wing subprime schemer friends Herbert and Marion Sandler will likely be squashed. So, I transcribed the whole comedy sketch for you and provided screenshots for the 7-minute video that has disappeared from NBC and Hulu. (Pat Dollard?s blog has posted the full clip on its server.

Tebow is pretty hacked about last week's loss, but he may try too hard this week, and the spread is just a little large for a bounce-back loss. Gators roll, just not covering the spread.South Carolina and Ole Miss (-2)- 1:00 PMPorch picks: Gamecocks 24-17Why? Houston Nutt is Mr. Letdown and the Rebs don't realize how fortunate they were a week ago to get the Gators on a bad week. Hotty Toddy returns the favor this Saturday with lackluster offense.Kentucky at #2 Alabama (-15.5)- 2:30 PM on CBSPorch picks: Crimson Tide 20-7Why? The Wildcats are pretty well un-tested in their first 4 games. This will be a good game to see if Bama is "for real" if they can avoid the let-down after handling Georgia in Athens last weekend. #13 Auburn (-4) at #19 Vanderbilt- 5:00 PM on ESPNPorch picks: Commodores 21-13Why?

The Experts Predictions for October 4th:
2008-10-02 20:45:00 Here's what the experts are saying. Be on the lookout for our prognostications._________________West Virginia 35, Rutgers 14The Mountaineers' offense hit its stride last week and should keep up the fireworks against a suspect Rutgers defense. RU has lost 13 in a row to WVU, and I don't see that streak ending here in Morgantown. Penn State 42, Purdue 34If your defense is getting gashed by the Notre Dame run game, look for the Penn State attack to really do damage. The Nittany Lions have a good O-line, having produced 15 running plays of at least 20 yards, and seven of those have gone for at least 30. That said, don't be surprised if Curtis Painter gets hot and keeps things interesting. Oklahoma 41, Baylor 24Robert Griffin is a phenomenal athlete, but he is going to face the best bunch of D-linemen he has seen in his college career this week. Look for the Sooners' ground attack to heat back up against the Bears. Kansas 30, Iowa State 13KU probably didn't need WR Dexron Fields ... More About: Predictions , Experts , October
Nailing their butts to the wall, part II
2008-10-02 14:54:00 I just sent the following to my Representative. I've copied the text, because I know you all are quite busy. So, if you agree, feel free to copy and paste, then email your Representative to oppose this idiotic bailout bill.__________Once again you are being called to defend our nation from a massive debt burden being placed on my children, and their children. I request that you do NOT in any way support this massive bailout now passed by the Senate.Years of bad decisions and stupid mistakes have created an economic nightmare in this country, but $700 billion in new debt is not the answer. As a tax-paying American citizen, I will not support any congressperson who votes to implement such a policy. Instead, I submit the following three steps:Common Sense Plan.I. INSURANCEA. Insure the subprime bonds/mortgages with an underlying FHA-type insurance. Government-insured and backed loans would have an instant market all over the world, creating immediate and needed liquidity.B. In order f... More About: Wall , Part , Butts , The wall
Another Cigar Shop Review:
2008-10-02 14:00:00 Thanks for all the submissions! Derek from Crown Point, IN offers this week's review:______________________________1. Your name and locationDerek McKee ? Crown Point, IN2. Along with the name of the shop, describe it's interior and exterior appearance.Iwan Ries is a cigar shop on the second floor of a high rise building in Chicago, IL. Currently the exterior of the building is not very attractive due to the high amount of construction to surrounding buildings. The interior is of the shop is All wood siding and spans the entire second floor of the building. There are two smoking sections. One section is inside the main part of the shop which is hidden in the back corner. It has 7 chairs that would fit in well at a doctor?s waiting room in the 1970?s. Also there is regular tube TV that is about 26 inches in size and sports Direct TV. The other smoking room is located across from the elevator. This smoking room is members only. I was lucky enough to see it and was given a very quick ... More About: Review , Shop

Why The Bailout was Bad in the First Place
2008-09-30 18:00:00 Check out this article from CNN.com. I love it when smart people talk. Among the many highlights..."So what should the government do? Eliminate those policies that generated the current mess. This means, at a general level, abandoning the goal of home ownership independent of ability to pay. This means, in particular, getting rid of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, along with policies like the Community Reinvestment Act that pressure banks into subprime lending.The right view of the financial mess is that an enormous fraction of subprime lending should never have occurred in the first place. Someone has to pay for that. That someone should not be, and does not need to be, the U.S. taxpayer."See the rest at www.AnAmericanFrontPorch.com More About: Place , Bailout

Democrats (circa 2004): "There is no crisis"
2008-09-30 14:00:00 I've been clear before that both sides are to blame for this disaster we find ourselves in, but watch in awe (in light of Obama's performance Monday) as Democrats only four years ago argue against Republicans who argue for more regulation of the debt-entrenched Fannie Maes and Freddie Macs.See the rest at www.AnAmericanFrontPorch.com More About: Crisis , Circa

What Happens When The Government Owns Business
2008-09-26 20:35:00 Is this socialism in action? THIS is where things get scary."Federal regulators seized Washington Mutual (WM) on Thursday evening and sold most of the assets to JPMorgan Chase (JPM) in the largest bank failure in U.S. history, which had been precipitated by a wave of deposit withdrawals."___________________This next video is obviously partisan, so I'll say up front that I believe Republicans haven't seen a debt they didn't love, and Democrats haven't seen a tax they didn't want to cuddle. I post it though, simply to foster discussion. Pause it often and read the full statements, as it's kind of quick.See the rest at www.AnAmericanFrontPorch.com More About: Business , Government
