With this election we saw more ignorant voters coming out to the polls than ever before.  People who knew nothing about their favorite candidate, or the candidates they were against.

Watch the following video, it is absolutely sickening to me.

It has been two weeks since the Election and the passage of California’s Proposition 8.  Since the election there has been protest after protest to overturn the will of the voters.

The First Amendment gives people the right to peaceably assemble, but these protests have been getting out of hand.

Opponents of Prop 8, have turned to violence, and disorderly protests in streets across America to voice their opinion.  The problem is, Police Departments in some areas have been told they cannot engage the protesters.  Quite honestly, anyone involved in this type of protesting should be arrested on the spot.  There is a way to protest, and this is not the way.  Not to mention, this type of protesting is not winning anybody over for their “cause.” Read more…

For those of you who missed it, Bill O’Reilly discussed his fear of Barack Obama, and the direction of the nation with Jon Stewart.

Throughout the last months of the campaign John McCain tried to peg Senator Obama with his ties to Bill Ayers, a known and unrepentant terrorist.  Time after time, Obama denied these claims saying he merely served on a board with Ayers and lived in the same neighborhood.  However, in a Chicago Sun-Times article, Bill Ayers paints a much different picture.

“We had served together on the board of a foundation, knew one another as neighbors and family friends, held an initial fund-raiser at my house, where I’d made a small donation to his earliest political campaign,” he writes.

But right-wing commentators tried to use those connections to smear Obama, he says.

“Obama’s political rivals and enemies apparently saw an opportunity to deepen a dishonest narrative about him, that he is somehow un-American, alien, linked to radical ideas, a closet terrorist, a sympathizer with extremism,” Ayers wrote.

Ayers was the purported “terrorist” Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin was referring to when she claimed that Obama was “palling around with terrorists.”

This seems a little more than “just a guy in the neighborhood,” as Obama stated in one of the debates.

If Senator Obama cannot be truthful with us about his relationships with terrorists in the campaign, what will he be dishonest about in the Presidency?  Looks like stooped to any level, including deceiving the American people, to win this election.

 Last week the nation elected a new President of the United States, Senator Barack Obama.  But what does this really mean for our nation?

Just days after the election Senator Obama named his chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel.

Emanuel has been know to say things such as “F-You” when speaking about the Republican party.  He is known to be a left-wing liberal with no record of being bi-partisan.

On election night Obama stated that he wanted the country to unite, to come together as one nation, and to put partisan politics aside.  Then he names his chief of staff, a left-wing liberal with no intentions of being bi-partisan.

The new President Elect is not getting off to a good start to ease the concerns of the people who saw through the rhetoric during this year’s campaign.

Last night I was involved in a heated debate on a talk radio show about Proposition 8 which was voted on last Tuesday in the state of California.  

For those of you not familiar with Prop. 8, it provided for the following:

ELIMINATES RIGHT OF SAME–SEX COUPLES TO MARRY. INITIATIVE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.

• Changes the California Constitution to eliminate the right of same-sex couples to marry in California.
• Provides that only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California.

The vote then passed in the state which has caused an uproar across the Gay Community and the Liberal circles.

It is claimed that the thought of taking away the right to marry from the Gay community is taking away their rights.  However, I would beg to differ.

The very definition of marriage as defined by the dictionary, is the union of one man and one woman.

Marriage is a sacred gift from God and should be instituted only by the church in the first place.  Last night on the talk show debate the host then proposed to me that if marriage should only be run by the church, then the Government should no longer recognize it because of its duty to Separation of Church and State.  Let me remind you, that no where in the Constitution is this separation talked about.

The next argument that the Gay and Liberal communities argue is that if gays are not allowed to marry we take away their rights to benefits.  This I agree with, there should be provisions set in place by the government for these couples to receive benefits, but it should not be under the blanket of marriage.

I would love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this subject, please leave comments!

Obama wins. More details to come.

Stay tuned here and watch the returns come in for the Federal Elections!

Voters have been turning out in record numbers this year.  More election coverage coming later, we apologize that we haven’t been live broadcasting as promised, we have been having technical issues.
