    I really got tickled by this man that came here LEGALLY and worked hard and has been a citizen for just five years. And he is in the face of Americans with the question we should all be asking ourselves, “Do you know what you are about to do in electing this man”?

    “I consider the foundation of the Constitution as laid on this ground that ‘all powers not delegated to the United States, by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states or to the people.’ To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specially drawn around the powers of Congress, is to take possession of a boundless field of power, not longer susceptible of any definition.” —Thomas Jefferson

    “To take from one, because it is thought his own industry… has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who… have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, the guarantee to everyone the free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it.” —Thomas Jefferson

    “Do not separate text from historical background. If you do, you will have perverted and subverted the Constitution, which can only end in a distorted, bastardized form of illegitimate government.” James Madison

    Tito gets it.

    Alan is far too passionate NOT to actually believe what he says. Really amazing, isn’t it? Did any of you see the way he talked over Ann Coulter so that she couldn’t get a word in edge wise. I think he is afriad that if he actually listens to her he may come to his senses and, therefore, have his Lib (RED) Card revoked. He often has the argument of a five year old. To equate Obama applauding haate speech to McCain authorizing a check for the guy doing the hate speech, which came prior to the hate speech and for the spread of democracy is just plain childish. As if to say, Obama didn’t do anything bad because your guy gave that guy money. And that makes sense how?
    And, yes, Alan seems to go with this logic.

    Actually it’s very easy to explain why new recent citizens “get it” and fear Obama while a substantial portion of the “lifetime” citizens don’t “get it”. The newly minted citizens want to be hear and have had to actually take steps to become citizens. That makes citizenship something valuable. They are less about victimhood and more about doing. Secondly, the newly minted citizens
    have had to take a real civics class. One where they actually were graded (if they didn’t get enough right, they were not allowed citizenship) unlike most natural citizens. The natural ones on average couldn’t tell you the differences between the branches of government and the branches of a birch tree.

    How come you guys don’t do the same thing to Obama? How come you guys don’t put it in the news?
    - Tito the Builder

    Tito is asking the same questions I’ve been asking for months. Why don’t the media ask Obama any real questions? Why do they keep his past off limits? Why won’t they even discuss comments he has made in his own autobiography?

    I have just now discovered why Obama constantly talks about “change.” It’s in his book – the one that the MSM won’t talk about. He explains how he used “change” as a diversion technique to avoid giving direct answers. This technique still works like a charm on mindless liberals like those who make up the MSM.

    Obama explains this diversion technique on Page 54 of “Dreams From My Father“:

    “IN 1983, I DECIDED to become a community organizer.

    There wasn’t much detail to the idea; I didn’t know anyone making a living that way. When classmates in college asked me just what it was that a community organizer did, I couldn’t answer them directly. Instead, I’d pronounce on the need for change. Change in the White House, where Reagan and his minions were carrying on their dirty deeds. Change in the Congress, compliant and corrupt. Change in the mood of the country, manic and self-absorbed. Change won’t come from the top, I would say. Change will come from a mobilized grass roots.

    That’s what I’ll do, I’ll organize black folks. At the grass roots. For change.”

    I still don’t know what a community organizer does, but whatever it is, Obama is going to do to America what he did to Chicago. But, according to the MSM, we’re not allowed to examine what he did in Chicago, or who he did it with. And that leaves me little reason to hope that “change” is going to do us any more good than it did them.

    Tito not only reinforces and expands on the Joe the Plumber story of what an Obama tax plan will do to hundreds of thousands of small business owners or those aspiring to own a small business, he puts a face on what those against illegal immigration want. We are not against immigration, just illegal immigration.

    This man legally entered this country, applied for all the necessary documents to remain and worked toward becoming a legal citizen. This is a path that no one can argue against.

    Tito is fresh off of studying what it means to be a citizen and is probably more versed in what the Constitution says than citizens that were born and raised here. He speaks with a passion that native citizens should take note of and emulate.

    This is a man that I am proud to call a fellow citizen.

    One more lesson to be learned from Tito is that it doesn’t take a Harvard education to know what’s right and what’s wrong, or to see when people are lying to you, trying to keep you down for their own benefit. Remember Michelle Obama’s talk when she urged people to turn away from wealth in favor of serving the common good, like a good proletarian? That’s not for her and Barack, mind you, with their annual salaries and their lifestyle, but that’s what you all should aspire to, something lower or lower-middle class where you’re dependent on the elite, oh-so-well-educated communists and socialists for everything you need. People resonate with Tito and Joe. And look for Obama’s Thugs to start digging into Tito’s business dealings and citizenship. It may not be until after the election, so as not to scare of Hispanics, but it will happen. Look at Ohio. He’s right that we’re looking at Cuba and Venezuela-style human rights in this country under an Obama administration.

    Byron York explains what a “community organizer” does and what Obama did for three years as one. His conclusion:

    Community organizing is … essential in understanding Obama. But what does it say about him? The first thing is that he has a talent for, well, organizing. … He’ll be the biggest, strongest organizer in the world. He’ll dazzle the country with his message of hope and possibility. But we shouldn’t expect much to actually get done.

    This is just a reminder, from an earlier post, what Obama wants to do. A second Bill of Rights would destroy the intent of the constitution.
    Our Constitution limited the power of government and gave us the freedom to pursue material gains. Obama’s Bill of Rights would strip our ability to pursue our goal through greater tax burdens and remove the incentive of those who wish to expand their lives.

    Obama is depressing people. He has been depressed since youth, and he came out to seek help by seeing Frank Marshall Davis, Bill Ayers, Rev Wright, Tony Rezko…Can we afford to let him sitting in the Oval Office for releasing his anger?

    I don’t have enough words to appreciate how this country has helped my family after we escaped communist Vietnam with only few clothes as baggage. Countless families, former refugees, around me work hard with the opportunity to build their successes.
    I am proud of this country and always will. I don’t take freedom for granted and don’t believe in the idea of “spreading the wealth.” It would never be true, but what I have seen is the authorities, as in Vietnam, take the wealth from peope using their eloquent mouthtalk. The rich become poor and the poor get poorer!

    Coffee, there are days where I think we’re screwed so badly that we may not see the America we love for a long time, if ever again.

    But then you see guys like Tito, Joe, Lt.Col Bill Russell and the young man in the YouTube video I linked above and it restores my faith.

    I am in agreement. There will be no peace here for a long, long time. It doesn’t matter who wins this election, unrest will follow and the level of unrest will continue to increase. I doubt actual violence on a large scale, i.e., civil war – but discontentment, hatefulness will be the rule of the day.

    I saw the tape of Joe the Plumber and Sen Obama, and it was Joe who approached Sen Obama. Yes, Sen Obama was in Joe’s neighborhood, but to suggest that it was Sen Obama who initiated the conversation is a mis-characterization of the facts.

    Yes, Joe has been investigated but not by the Obama campaign. To continue to suggest so is a continuation of the mis-representation of the facts.

    Small points, but is this how you want the next administration to be conducted? Haven’t we gone through this before?

    And think about this, how is it that an individual who wants to become the leader of the free world needed a plumber to reveal what his opponent is all about? Will Sen McCain need a librarian to ask a question so that he will better understand the next issue?

    This wasn’t scripted.

    I don’t think Senator McCain was shocked by the revelation. In fact, it doesn’t seem as if anyone was shocked about Obama being a socialist. The enthusiasm expressed by conservatives is that we now have confirmation – straight from the horse’s mouth. Joe the Plumber and Tito the Builder stepped up and what they have to say is not good for Michelle O’s children.

    I heard something interesting regarding people’s passions for Obama. Especially the “old guard” liberals from the 60s, which of course includes some executives in the MSM. They actually believe Obama is the epitome and culmination of what they have fought for for the past 30 years. He embodies the “revolutionary ideas” and his victory would be the pinnacle of all things they hold dear.

    Tito gets it, he wants the American dream, an opportunity to rise, to succeed or fail by no man’s leave. Yet the “spread the wealth around” types want “democracy” by other means, where the elite class throws bread crumbs to the masses to keep them on the bottom.

    Come Tuesday, the electorate will decide. Will we choose Tito’s America, constituted in 1789, or Obama’s social “democracy” where one only rises when another warden is required?

    Tito gets America. But can he keep it? Can we keep it?

    Take the blinders off. McCain has been making the case but it’s dismissed off-handedly by the MSM and drowned out by the liberal noise. Joe the Plumber and Tito spoke like the rest of us and people stopped and listened.

    Joe was playing catch with a football with his son in his own neighborhood. It was Obama who decided to have a photo op to look like the common man. He didn’t expect a common man to ask a common question after encouraging people to engage. Joe just had the courage the so-called, softball journalists are afraid to ask of Obama directly.

    Do you make your facts up as you go along?

    America is great because of working, free AMERICANS, not because of some big liberal daddy that is going to solve all of the little people’s problems.

    I sure hope McCain wins, because I do think he, and for SURE Sara Palin, understands me, my wife, and my love of country.

    I want to walk free. I want to be able to set my sail toward success or failure at my will. If I succeed it will be ME that is successful, and if I fail, well, in America, I can just try again.

    This Is What Desperation Feels Like

    When you keep repeating the same attacks that haven’t worked up until now, you’re in big trouble. A PAC called National Republican Trust has a new ad out linking Obama to Reverend Jeremiah Wright, that says:

    “For 20 years Barack Obama followed a preacher of hate and said nothing as Wright raged against our country,” the ad says. “He built his power base in Wright’s church. Wright was his mentor, adviser and close friend. For 20 years Obama never complained — until he ran for president. Barack Obama. Too radical. Too risky.”

    They’re also attacking Obama because he has a half-aunt who lives in Boston housing project, someone Obama met once and hasn’t seen since his visit to Kenya in 1988. It’s not even clear Obama knows she’s living in the states. And she can’t hate him too much since she donated $260 to his campaign. Unlike, say, Cindy McCain’s half sister, Kathleen Hensley-Portalsky, an Obama supporter, who says Cindy makes her “feel like a non-person” when she describes herself as an only child.

    Simple as that. His passion is pure and unsullied, not like those jaded pompous arrogant yutzes Obama and Combs (and their minions like WaterCloset and lmg) who detest America and you can hear their disdain for this great country dripping from every syllable.

    Second, Joe has been investigated by Obama supporters in government positions abusing their power. At least one of those people is in the ObamaMessiah campaign. They did this with the specific intent to harm the guy.

    These are not misrepresentations. The intent of the ObamaMessiah supporters was to quash any kind of real questions from being asked of The One.

    That was one of my favorites too, because it sums up the attitude of the MSM, the elite in Washington, our resident trolls and Obama himself. Tito the builder, Joe the plumber and the millions out there like them do not need to be led by the nose, they are not buying the pap that NBC, CBS, et al are selling. If it wasn’t for Fox news, how would their voices be heard, the only MSM interview I have seen with Joe the plumber, was with Diane Sawyer, she was so condescending, I nearly threw my shoe at the TV.

    My best friend is a librarian at a public high school. She is very bright and informed on issues. I would rather have her in charge of this nation than an elitist friend of terrorists and an enemy if Israel. And I would think that McCain, or any person in a leadership position, would be PROUD to take advice from a well educated, concerned, working class American.
