I added a new page to the San Fran trip.

It’s at the link is at the bottom of the first page.

Or, right here!

And Europe thinks America has had some sort of awakening. Because we’ve elected a half-black man as our president, somehow, half the population disappeared all of a sudden. Typical elitist bullshit from the morons across the pond.

Here’s a couple examples:

From Ireland to Kenya, the whole world celebrates as Obama becomes US President

Kenyans hail election of saviour Barack Obama

Rachel Lucas takes them to task:

“They think we’re more enlightened now.”

The Russians do, that is. Because we elected a black man. The Russians now think we’re enlightened, as do the French, English, Japanese, and so on. WELL THANK GOD.

Naturally, an article like this one has special meaning to me since I’m about to be an American living overseas. I think I’m supposed to be relieved or something but instead I just keep muttering “oh piss off you bastards.”

As Micha Wyatt plans an inaugural bash at the Chicago Rib Shack in London, she is basking in the new warmth toward Americans overseas.

It’s cool to be an American again, Wyatt said. “Finally! I’m tired of pretending I’m Canadian.”

From Jakarta to Johannesburg, Americans who travel or live abroad are finding that instead of being scolded about the Iraq war, the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, or U.S. climate change policy, they are being hugged when strangers hear their accent.

GI Murder Rate

Typical BS from the NY Slimes. There is no credibility left in that rag. Why anyone would buy one, other than to get a laugh, is beyond me. Ann Coulter takes them to task.

The GI murder rate compared to non-military murder rate isn’t even close.

Murder Spree by People Who Refuse to Ask For Directions

In a front-page article on Jan. 2 of this year, The New York Times took a brief respite from its ongoing canonization of Barack Obama and returned to its series on violent crimes committed by returning GIs, or as I call it: “U.S. Military, Psycho Killers.”

The Treason Times’ banner series about Iraq and Afghanistan veterans accused of murder began in January last year but was quickly discontinued as readers noticed that the Times doggedly refused to provide any statistics comparing veteran murders with murders in any other group.

So they waited a year, hoping readers wouldn’t notice they were still including no relevant comparisons.

I am not hip to all the obots and their fascination with him. I think that they will be sorely disappointed in him sooner, rather than later. They have placed the bar way too high for him to even get close.
His pre-election rhetoric will be proven to be worth shit when he realizes the issues that truly face this nation, hit him square in the head like a 2×4.

I didn’t fly my flag today, out of juvenile defiance, but will still have faith in the fact that this is a representative republic, and the president is merely a cog in that huge machine.

With that, I give you the following articles for your consideration.

A bit of Haiku:

Obama the one

Pay my mortgage now bitches

Where’s my gas dude?

Inauguration 2009: ‘So Help Us God’

By Monte Kuligowski

The fact that Pastor Rick Warren’s invitation from Barack Obama to offer prayer at the 2009 Inauguration generated controversy and newsworthy protest speaks loudly about where we are as a people. The news of that invitation would not have generated as much as a yawn in a once-sane America. And, the fact that the president-elect would appease the ensuing roar of the Gay Left by inviting Gene Robinson, the only openly homosexual Episcopalian bishop to share the podium at the pending inauguration/gay pride festivities speaks volumes about Barack Obama.

Interestingly, the invitation extended to Robinson (who single-handedly fractured a Christian denomination) was not controversial — at least the major news media found nothing controversial to cover regarding the prospect of a homosexual bishop praying for the presidency and the country at the request of the incoming president.

In a land where wrong is becoming right, Warren’s great sin was to support California’s Proposition 8 — the voting initiative that ended same-sex marriage.

Bizarro Lincoln

By Joseph Ashby

The DC Comics’ Bizarro World is home to all earthly opposites. On the Bizarro planet Htrae (Earth backwards), failing investments are celebrated, doing good is a crime and even Superman, known as Bizarro, is evil. It also happens to be the only place in the universe (real or imagined) where Barack Obama is the next Abraham Lincoln.

The Obama-Lincoln Bizarro parallels begin with their home state. It is true that both hail from Illinois, but Obama’s and Lincoln’s Illinois could scarcely be more different. Lincoln’s Illinois was the epicenter of the newly formed Republican Party, Obama’s is the tightest of Democrat strongholds. Also, the driving force that guided Lincoln and his Illinois Republicans was morality in politics and law. Conversely, modern Illinois is home to the most immoral political machine in America.

Liberals: A Black President Is No Proof Against Racism in America

President-elect Barack Obama hasn’t taken office yet, and I already feel gypped.

Now, it’s not as though I expected much. I didn’t expect Obama to know what to do about the economy; Obama’s knee-jerk Keynesianism and allegiance to the disproved New Deal mythology ensure that he will try the Big Government solution, even when Big Government is the problem. I didn’t expect Obama to solve the problem of Iranian militancy; Obama’s knee-jerk reliance on diplomacy means that he won’t confront the mullahs until it is too late to do anything about their nuclear program. I didn’t expect Obama to stand true to traditional principles surrounding religion and marriage; Obama’s Rick Warren pick was a ruse, a throwaway to the American right.

But I expected something else: the end of ridiculous charges of widespread American racism.
