Socialism on the march

Welcome to the June 1, 2009 edition of nobama blog carnival.

First, let me extend my deep apologies that this round of Bama Bashing has been delayed, due to an illness. (Even some of the little microbial critters may have been swayed by Obama's campaign rhetoric.) Anyway, they're off my case now and I'm feeling better, so I am happy to present you with another serving of thought-provoking commentary from bloggers united in opposition to smooth-talking socialism.

I chose to include this candid photo of "The One" (taken by a substitute on the White House cleaning staff before the President was fully made up for his official appearance, I'm told) as the image for this carnival edition, because it shows something of his character that most of the official press release photos do not convey.

An important reminder: Tea Party season is not over, there will be another round for July 4. Stand up for liberty!

On to the entries, folks--we've got another great round of blogging here and I want to extend my deepest thanks to those authors who submitted their posts. Please keep up the good work! Thanks to our readers. May sanity prevail next election!

Written from the perspective of a a soldier serving in a field unit in the IDF (Israeli Defence Force)."

DWSUWF presents The Arrogance of "Hope" posted at Divided We Stand United We Fall: "The comparison that is most apt is a comparison to the arrogance of Richard Nixon, as exemplified by the money quote in the Frost/Nixon interview - 'When the president does it, that means that it is not illegal.'"

Awaiting the Anointed One

Welcome to the January 11, 2009 edition of Nobama Blog Carnival.

As the media and the Left joyfully await the blessed reign of the Anointed One, here's another round of insightful commentary from the anti-Obama regions of the blogosphere. A hearty thanks and a happy new year to our readers and contributors.

Economy

Here we examine the unprecedentedly big numbers being considered in Obama's economic plans, along with other financial considerations. Don't miss the chart showing how much you'll owe over the next few decades!

The Whited Sepulchre presents On The Inconvenience Of Prosperity posted at The Whited Sepulchre: "Is there anything that would be more harmful to the next White House resident than a nice long economic boom? Prosperity is a huge inconvenience to those who want to change the world."

Bill OConnell presents Keep the Change posted at libertyslifeline.com: "Here is where Obama’s lack of executive experience is on full display, and the man is yet to take office."

And here's an amazing story of big plans on the public tab.

Traci Hayner Vanover presents Edwardsville, Alabama: They'll Leave the Light on For 'Ya posted at Shoe Tossing - Conservative News & Commentary - On the Heels of Liberal Lunacy: "And it won’t cost them nearly as much as you’d think -- especially if their wish for $375 million from the economic stimulus package is granted."

Racial factors

Political issues in black and white.

Curry Kenworthy presents Liberal fantasies and racial elections posted at Curry Kenworthy: "Some liberals are worried that Obama will be assassinated because he is black. What part does racism really play in today's political situation, and why do conservatives actually oppose Obama?"

Congress

This commentary was written while the Blagojevich situation was building up.

U.S. Common Sense presents Blagojevich and Democrats on Collision Course posted at U.S. Common Sense: "The Senate Democrats have vowed to block Burris from being seated. Blagojevich believes they won't be successful. Who will win this face-off?"

Cult of Charisma

Anyone out there afraid of charismatic leaders with obsessed, uncritical followers?

Cristy Li presents GMA Guest: "The One" Best Represented Teachings Of Jesus. Huh? posted at Cristy Li: "Rev. Ed Dobson who never voted for a Democrat claims that he spent a year in quiet meditation and believed 'The One' was closer to Jesus."

Obama can’t help you, and he never could, in spite of his campaign promises—I just wish he’d accept it, admit it publicly, and resolve to quit throwing money at the problem."

Alli presents How to Save the Republic - Part 3 - Repeal the Direct Election of Senators posted at The Smoking Argus: "If the Republic is to be saved, the Senate must be restored to its Constitutional position and foundation upon Federalism."
