Jonathan Alford has a stunning piece in Salon about how Barack Obama’s campaign views the people of Western Pennsylvania:
With U.S. Rep. John Murtha making news about calling Western Pennsylvanians racist, Julia tells me about her own awful experiences driving through those rural towns. “I will never go back there again,” she says. I ask her what will change these people. “Prayer and love,” she says. “It’s hard to love these people. But Jesus didn’t say it was easy. We just have to be firm and things will change.”
“But these white voters are religious too,” I say.
“Just because you get in your car and go in and out of your garage, that don’t make you a car,” she says. “These folks going in and out of church, but it don’t make them religious. I have learned so much from Barack, the way he can just stand there and take it, and not get angry or lash out. I think that is the way.”
Angela interjects, “I can’t believe this is happening in my lifetime. The Lord has anointed him to be the bringer of change. I just feel it running through me.” She begins to sway a little and raise her arms over her head.
And you thought that people were speaking in jest when they referred to Obama as ‘The One.’ It sounds like it’s an internal strategy.
And how much abuse is the Democratic team going to heap on the middle-income voters of the midwest — whom it claims to be trying to protect?

The point cannot be made often enough: Modern liberalism, as embodied in the Obama presidency, is the defender of the status quo. And the status quo is a road to economic ruin. Political forces cannot redistribute the wealth that the economic system does not produce.
Very disturbing
hunter (Diary) Monday, November 3rd at 4:16PM EST (link)when people on the conservative side get frustrated, we realize it is due to human limitations.
The Obamatons, when they get frustrated, will look to blame us.
Think of ‘counter revolutionaries’, and how progressives around the world treat those hwom they have afixed the blame for their failures.

creepy
jbwbubba (Diary) Monday, November 3rd at 4:23PM EST (link)These people are so creepy. “messiah” “personal jesus”, etc. You should be very concerned about these people if they gain power. Of course I’m sure Angela thinks Bush deserves all the crap he gets.

Achance (Diary) Monday, November 3rd at 4:51PM EST (link)all I have to do in my Red State is run out all the people that I don’t want there and do so without interference from my Blue friends. They’ll have one Helluva social welfare problem, including most of those obese people, and I’ll have a productive, happy, homogenous, and very little taxed population.

It if worked once...
D.T. Dickinson (Diary) Monday, November 3rd at 4:59PM EST (link)…during the Civil War (even if only symbolically) than it should logically work again.
If a state can secede from the union, than obviously a county can secede from the state, which would change some of those percentages just a tad.
Not that I support such an action, just saying.
- D.T. Dickinson
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”

ElliotE5 (Diary) Monday, November 3rd at 7:48PM EST (link)Two centuries ago, Northeast states discussed secession, calling the 1814 Hartford Convention to study it. Official delegations were sent by Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island.
Bone of contention? A war they didn’s support.
At issue: the War of 1812, which suspended trade between the new nation and Great Britain. New Englanders suffered financially and despised the war. Western pioneers supported war in hopes of expanding the country, warding off attacks by English and Indians.
