    My only hope is that Barack Obama realizes he can not govern from the left and moves into a more Bill Clinton as opposed to Jimmy Carter mode, but the truth remains that Barack is very much to the left of Carter.

    Fasten your seatbelts. There could be some turbulence.

    Obama has already said he’s going to follow AQ into Pakistan without permission from the Pakis. Hardly something Jimmy would do.

    The point of no return is Bill Ayers in the White House; physically or in Obama’s head!

    Bill Ayers is an amazing fellow. He has gone from radical underground has been failed terrorist to the man who just may control the President of the United States of America. Bill Ayers a has been underground radical has become the most influential radical to come along in quite a while. Bill Ayers writes radical extremest books and ghost writes radical extremist books for the so called, “Inevitable” Next President of the United States of America. Yes Bill Ayers is an incredible fellow.

    Okay, I’ll bite. I will stipulate that Professor Ayers’ terrorist activites of more than three decades ago were reprehensible, dangerous and loathsome. Conduct such as that should not be tolerated in civilized society, and I do wonder why the Department of Justice dropped criminal charges against him.

    The outrage that the McCain/Palin campaign has attempted to gin up about Ayers, however, is phony. Why did Senator McCain sit by silently while Governor Palin pointedly refused to call those who have bombed abortion clincs “terrorists” during an interview with Brian Williams:

    WILLIAMS: Are we changing — it’s been said that to give it a vaguely post-9/11 hint, using that word that we don’t normally associate with domestic crimes. Are we changing the definition? Are the people who set fire to American cities during the ’60s terrorists in — under this definition? Is an abortion clinic bomber a terrorist under this definition, Governor?

    PALIN: There’s no question that Bill Ayers, via his own admittance, was one who sought to destroy our U.S. Capitol and our Pentagon. That is a domestic terrorist. There’s no question there. Now, others who would want to engage in harming innocent Americans or facilities that it would be unacceptable to — I don’t know if you’re going to use the word terrorist there, but it’s unacceptable, and it would not be condoned, of course, on our watch. But I don’t know — if what you’re asking is if I regret referring to Bill Ayers as an unrepentant domestic terrorist, I don’t regret characterizing him as that.

    WILLIAMS: No, I’m just asking what other categories you would put in there, abortion clinic bombers, protesters in cities where fires were started, Molotov cocktails were thrown, people died?

    PALIN: I would put in that category of Bill Ayers anyone else who would seek to campaign, to destroy our United States Capitol and our Pentagon and would seek to destroy innocent Americans.

    The only plausible explanation for this that I can think of is that McCain and Palin are pandering for the votes of those deranged fetus fetishists who secretly approve of the terrorist bombers such as Eric Rudolph and assassins such as Paul Hill.

    IOKIYARB? (It’s okay if you’re a Republican bomber?) Or IOKIYART? (A Republican terrorist?)

    The criminal activities of the Weather Underground occurred thirty some odd years ago; terrorist violence against abortion providers is a recent and current issue. I for one don’t want anyone on Eric Rudolph’s side of the culture war appointing the federal judiciary and the United States Attorney General.

    “The unconstrained vision is really an elitist vision,” Sowell explains. “This man [Obama] really does believe that he can change the world. And people like that are infinitely more dangerous than mere crooked politicians.”

    Just wanted you boobs to read it again (you know who you are). And why not do something really revolutionary afterward–think about it.

    “And why not do something really revolutionary afterward”? In that that exhortation was preceded by commentary on how dangerous a presidential candidate is, I would be careful about that kind of ambiguity, cg. It could draw unwanted attention from the Secret Service.
