Obama camp spies endgame in Oregon
Barack Obama set his sights on November's general election Saturday as he campaigned in Oregon, where he hopes to declare victory in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Pitching his message to Oregon's environmentally-conscious voters, Obama called on the United States to "lead by example" on global warming...

"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times ... and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK," Obama said.

"That's not leadership. That's not going to happen," he added.

We can't eat as much as we want? Is Obama planning on nationalizing food distribution? He'll stay out of the bedroom... unless it's to regulate the temperature of it?

It's not about the planet, it's about growing goverment, controlling the population and making us more like third world countries.

Pro illegal group fears plot by OFIR on this blog

In what I can only describe as something that really really makes me laugh the illegal alien loving (yes, they kiss illegal aliens with open mouth) group CAUSA is upset because I put a tidbit of Rick's opinion on being a Republican PCP on my endorsements post.

It certainly appears that Mr. Hickey and OFIR leadership are plotting a take over of the Republican Party of Oregon (ORGOP).

Thank you CAUSA, I needed that laugh. I imagine their next post could also have scary news like "Republicans try takeover of country by... voting Republican."

I also notice that they screenshot my blog but don't link to the post. My money says they get more readers when I link to them than they do any other time.

[EDIT] Mwahahahaha, they added "Kind of laughable" at the end of their "plotting to take over the Republican party" paragraph... after I did this blog post. Too funny.

See what I get for violating my own "no guest columns" rule?

Daniel's primary endorsements

This is just me going down my ballot to indicate how my wife and I are voting. The sad state of the Oregon Republican party is so evident because I'm not actually voting for any Republicans, none of them excite me, I'm voting against their more liberal Republican counterparts.

President: Ron Paul - I'm not voting for McCamnesty.

Senator: Gordon Leitch - Able to speak for a long time about "gold coins" but I'm looking to vote against Smith for his amnesty vote. I mean hey, you can't wire gold coins to Mexico...

Congressional District 1: Claude Chappell - The other guy, Haugen, believes in global warming, amnesty (or as he calls it "family reunification") and a draft. Oh, and he endorses Obama.

Judge 20th district: Andy Erwin - I actually like this guy, he wants to punish criminals. Imagine that. But his "for" vote is nonpartisan.

I'm also voting YES on 51, 52, and 53.

Some of you in the Portland area probably have a blank spot for your Republican candidates. Way to go Vance. Maybe if you spent less time trying to sell us McCain you could field some decent candidates that would make conservatives proud to be Republicans.

And here is a "guest column" of sorts from VP of OFIR Rick:
(I edited for length)

PLEASE DON'T VOTE, until you read this.

As Vice-Pres. of OFIR I understand that the issue of illegal immigration is a non-partisan issue impacting all Americans and legal immigrants.

This notice concerns only registered Republicans and the current ballot just received.

Included in your election ballot is a form (yellow) to become a Precinct Committee Person or PCP. A PCP has the voting rights to influence what happens in the party. You can become a PCP by voting for yourself (write-in) and having just two others write you in on their form and mail it in with the ballot. These two others need to be registered in the Republican Party and in your precinct or the adjacent one(s). There are hundreds of slots open statewide, so your vote(s) to become a PCP should be approved.

Why bother? I understand why many of you are frustrated with John McCain and the Republican Party leadership decision to ignore or pander on this issue of illegal immigration.

If the majority of Americans really wanted amnesty, legislation would have easily passed the 1st or the 2nd time around. It hasn't and is not going to this year either.

Attrition thru enforcement does work and is the most humane, efficient and compassionate solution, not rewarding bad behavior. The 1986 amnesty and the results of it 22 years later should be enough proof.Attrition is a result of respecting the rule of law, a Republican Party by-law.

Did you know this important news? The Oregon Republican Party wrote and passed a resolution supporting the Respect for Law Act, twice. This is our only opportunity at enforcing immigration laws here in Oregon for now. We should let the entire state know that republicans do support the rule of law and therefore motivate the larger majority of voters that agree with this. Party leaders should not be afraid to support the 9 out of 10 employers that are not violating laws. Instead voter registrations and donations prove we have lost a majority support position and will continue to do so if we pander to corrupt employers only.

Please consider becoming a PCP now, while you have that ballot handy. If we cannot get help from the leadership here for now, as a PCP you can change that.

A true parody

Oppressed, Disenfranchised Coyotes Fight Back Against Global Warming Apes
Communities east of Los Angeles have seen a spate of “attacks” by coyotes against children playing menacingly in local parks and yards. Although scientists are said to be puzzled by the attacks, one thing is for sure: the incidents are somehow man’s fault.

“This is the coyote’s land. Man has pushed his developments into their backyard, leaving the coyotes with no choice but to find a new food source: human toddlers,” said Bill Grantdabbler, an entirely made-up, but still quite plausible, biologist interviewed for this fake story.

“Before the white man stole their natural resources and pitted them against other animals in a colonialist scheme to control nature, coyotes were matriarchical pacifists living ‘off the grid’ in sustainable vegan ecovillages,” he added. “We changed that. The chickens have now come home to roost.”

I'm almost positive that Mac Johnson is the funniest man in America. Read his full column and reflect on the fact that his obvious parody doesn't actually deviate from what the eco-nuts really believe.

Our founders were wise indeed

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

Wait what? I'm kind of busy paying extra taxes for multicultural managers, illegal alien benefits, and clean needles for junkies. Also busy being told how to raise my children, what to do with my property, how many gallons of water my toilet can use and how much "trans fat" my food can have.

This is the Portland "homeless meeting" outside city hall. You would think they could focus some of this energy on being more self-sufficient...

2 Thessalonians
verses 6 -9
Our orders—backed up by the Master, Jesus—are to refuse to have anything to do with those among you who are lazy and refuse to work the way we taught you. Don't permit them to freeload on the rest. We showed you how to pull your weight when we were with you, so get on with it. We didn't sit around on our hands expecting others to take care of us. In fact, we worked our fingers to the bone, up half the night moonlighting so you wouldn't be burdened with taking care of us. And it wasn't because we didn't have a right to your support; we did. We simply wanted to provide an example of diligence, hoping it would prove contagious.

McCain to pitch climate-change plan in Oregon
John McCain heads to the Pacific Northwest today to propose a climate-change plan, addressing an issue integral to his presidential bid in a region that could be crucial.

The Arizona senator, who often cites climate change as a policy difference with President Bush, plans to renew support for a "cap-and-trade" system that "sets clear limits on all greenhouse gases, while also allowing the sale of rights to excess emissions," according to excerpts of his speech released Sunday.

"The facts of global warming demand our urgent attention, especially in Washington," McCain says in the prepared remarks.

This is not about the climate, this is about control. Once this is successfuly implemented for industry theses nutjobs will move it to the individual. Your household will have a carbon limit.

Your thermostat, your dryer, your vehicles, your food, your recreation, will all be subject to governments oversight.

Get ready for cold showers, hanging your laundry, hot summers, cold winters and add an extra 180% to your commute time because you are going to be taking the bus.

And Dear McCain: What "facts" are you talking about? Can you cite something specific? Change in ocean temperature? Global warming movies that haven't been proven full of outright lies?

Needs a caption

The caption from the website this came from: AM coffee community


But you'll never guess at first glance where this is. It's Dignity Village. These are the homeless. Enjoying a late morning coffee. The rest of us drink our coffee on the way to work or at work. The homeless get to savor theirs a little bit more.

The new Dignity Village website is just great. Homelessness in 2008 is high tech. I bet they have wi-fi.

This is good PR

This is what CAUSA is offering up to demonstrate to Americans that we should grant amnesty to hordes of invading criminals:


To be fair, he may not be rapping about raping your daughter or selling meth from the apartment next to yours, it may be just about using your SSN to work illegaly.

Thank you CAUSA, your spanish language raps are very convincing. Perhaps you could distribute DVD's at a local church or civic group?
