Bloggers Democratic Shield Gets Removed Wednesday

When I was at the Debate at the Chesapeake College, many of the Kratovil people were asking me when the block on Democratic Comments would be dropped as they wanted to make comments but knew this new system with Blogger wouldn't allow them to do so.

That being said, (ROTFLMAO) do you really want to vote for a guy who's followers are so stupid that they actually believe Blogger has such a system in place?

OK, I'll turn it off Wednesday morning and then Blogger, (don't tell this this whole thing was a joke) will start allowing you to say whatever you want. Sadly, Kratovil will lose by more than 10 points. There, you have it officially from Joe Albero. I can't wait to see that crybaby after he loses so big. Man, will he be throwing fits, or what!

Anyhow, I can't wait to hear from all those supporters on Wednesday morning. Dee, Dee, Deeee!

Kratovil Joins Team Obama ...

... Where's the "Independence" Frank?

While Frank Kratovil is mailing GOP, moderate Democrat and independent households telling them that he"s "Independent" and a "Tough Prosecutor", this is what's being distributed to heavily Democrat, primarily African-American neighborhoods on the Lower Shore:

081102KratovilJoinsTeamObama


Frank Kratovil has signed up for TEAM OBAMA!  Was there ever any doubt?

Kratovil has publicly endorsed Obama's "tax plan" which isn't tax cuts as much as it is taking from those that pay taxes and redistributing it to those that don't.

Kratovil promises "Universal Health Care" - a nice euphemism for health care rationing and a government takeover of another 13+% of the nations GDP.

Kratovil promises to end "Big Oil's Free Ride" - another leftist euphemism for confiscating the profits of corporations which employ hundreds of thousands of Americans.  If you thought $4.00 / gallon gas was tough, wait until it rises from its current, relatively low levels to $6, or $8, per gallon.

I have to give Frank and his masters at the DCCC credit.  While he's been telling the majority of us that he's a "Tough Prosecutor" - while taking money from the attorney of a child molester who is now free to attack our children again - Kratovil is finally starting to tell the truth (if only to a portion of voters).

Frank Kratovil -

Part of Team Obama
Pledged to do the bidding of Nancy Pelosi, Steny Hoyer, and Barney Frank
Committed to SPREADING THE WEALTH



Where's the INDEPENDENCE Frank?

The True Obama

Jack Wheeler is a brilliant man who was the author of Reagan's strategy to break the back of the Soviet Union with the star wars race and expose their inner weakness. For years he wrote a weekly intelligence update that was extremely interesting and well structured and informative. He consults(ed) with several mega corporations on global trends and the future, etc. He is in semi retirement now. He is a true patriot with a no-nonsense approach to everything. He is also a somewhat well-known mountain climber and adventurer.

'The O-man, Barack Hussein Obama, is an eloquently tailored empty suit. No resume, no accomplishments, no experience, no original ideas, no understanding of how the economy works, no understanding of how the world works, nothing but abstract, empty rhetoric devoid of real substance.

'He has no real identity. He is half-white, which he rejects. The rest of him is mostly Arab, which he hides but is disclosed by his non-African Arabic surname and his Arabic first and middle names as a way to triply proclaim his Arabic parentage to people in Kenya. Only a small part of him is African Black from his Luo grandmother, which he pretends he is exclusively.

'What he isn't, not one genetic drop of, is 'African-American,' the descendant of enslaved Africans brought to America chained in slave ships. He hasn't a single ancestor who was a slave. Instead, his Arab ancestors were slave owners. Slave-trading was the main Arab business in East Africa for centuries until the British ended it.

'Let that sink in: Obama is not the descendant of slaves, he is the descendant of slave owners. Thus he makes the perfect Liberal Messiah.

'It's something very hard to understand - how some complete neophyte came out of the blue and is about to steal the election. Obamamania is beyond politics and reason. It is a true religious cult, whose adherents reject Christianity yet still believe in sin, transferring it from the evil of being human to the evil of being white.

'Thus Obama has become the white liberals' Christ, offering absolution from the Sin of Being White. There is no reason or logic behind it, no faults or flaws of his can diminish it, no arguments John McCain can make will be effective against it. The absurdity of Hypocrisy Clothed In Human Flesh being their Savior is all the more cause for liberals to worship him: Credo quia absurdum; I believe it because it is absurd.

'Thank heavens that the voting majority of Americans remain Christian and are in no desperate need of a phony savior. His candidacy is ridiculous and should not be taken seriously by any thinking American.

'I hope to God enough people wake up before election day.'

Can John Robinson Shut The Glock Up?


John Robinson is making the news again, changing his confession from his recent Court appearance where I clearly heard him admit, his Glock when off because of his own stupidity.

Recently, Robinson has been telling others that he is suing the manufacturer of the gun, Glock, for $100,000.00. While many of the people being bored with such claims from Robinson, he has also claimed he has retained an attorney to sue me for $10,000.00. Get in line John. So everyone knows, I have never received any documents from anyone representing John Robinson or Robinson's Jewlers for any charges or lawsuits, nothing. So if you've heard this story from Mr. Robinson, he must be a close friend of Frank Kratovill's because it too is a LIE.

Perhaps the young lady who fell victim of Robinson discharging the weapon should be made aware that Robinson plans to make money off this and put in her claim in advance? It's kind of what you get for running your mouth with so much BS.

Vote Kratovil..kill a tree

I have gotten about 2 color brochures from his campaign almost every day the last 2 weeks in my mailbox. These things cannot be cheap and definitely have to be taking down a rain forest somewhere. I have seen these brochures in others mailboxes as well. I want to thank the DNC however, due to there wasting money on his campaign and all these mailers i wont have to buy any Daily Times to cover bottom of my bird cage for at least 6 months.




Kratovil Gas Is 10 Cents More Per Gallon


If you head West on Rt. 50 you'll run into Valero or Chicken Man selling gas at $2.17 per gallon. They must need to extra last minute plug for Frank Kratovil to be up ten cents more per gallon?

Hey Kratovil, You Can't Touch This!




On Friday local volunteers made 5,000 calls in support and or asking for support for Andy Harris. Yesterday they reached 9,400 people via telephone and the reception was just unbelievable. Even Doug Church made it out to help show his support for Andy Harris, pictures don't lie.

This group of young men and women were so excited because the response there were getting was so comfortably in Andy Harris' favor, most people welcomed the phone calls and information.

Look, I don't care what anyone says, even the Daily Times admitted in their front page article today that Harris would win the race for Congress. It's in the bag, everyone knows it, except Kratovil, that is. It was a good run Frank but that lie about "WE SOLVED THE CRISIS" and your claiming there was a retraction in the Daily Times when clearly the man had absolutely 100% lied, did him in.

It's bad enough so many Americans hate lawyers but a lying lawyer, that's just the scum of the earth. Frank Kratovil IS the CRISIS.

GREAT WORK VOLUNTEERS! Thanks for the support!

Desperation at Kamp Kratovil, Hypocrisy on the Leftist Front

It seems that Frank Kratovil's people are getting a little uptight as we move closer to Tuesday's election.  While Kratovil whines about his record as a prosecutor is being made public, the propaganda arm of his campaign is moving in to overdrive with specious attacks on Andy Harris' character.

We've seen a small group of local doctors attempt to claim that even physicians support Kratovil over one of their own.  We need to look at the motives of these "care givers".  Evidence suggests that this small group would actually benefit from the socialized medicine scheme advocated by Kratovil.

Fortunately, local physicians rallied against the specious claims made by these individuals.  In just a few hours they put together a piece explaining why Andy Harris is the best proponent of health care for Eastern Shore residents.  As word spread, many more doctors asked to have their names included on the letter.  Unfortunately, the Daily Times had a deadline of 5PM Thursday.

These physicians explained Kratovil's support of trial lawyers who drive up the cost of health care while contributing nothing to patient care:

Dr. James Dobson's Endorsement Of Andy Harris

On Election Day, November 4th

Dr. James Dobson

Endorses

Andy Harris for Congress

James C. Dobson, Ph.D.

P.O. Box 63630

Colorado Springs, CO 80962-3630

October 16, 2008

Dear Friends:

It is an honor for me to announce my support for Dr. Andy Harris in his bid for the U.S. House in Maryland's 1st District. This is a critical race, and it's extremely important that Dr. Harris emerge victorious on November 4th!

His opponent, Frank Kratovil, holds positions on social issues that stand in the stark contrast to the values of those who care about the sanctity of life and the importance of traditional marriage.

Time and again, Kratovil has been a staunch defender of abortion and advocated for civil unions for homosexuals.

Andy Harris, on the other hand, would make a strong, pro-family, pro-life voice in the House just as he has been in the Maryland Senate. He has a proven track record for defending the principals that you and I and millions of Americans hold dear.

Please know that I am sending this letter as a private individual and not as a representative of the organizations that I lead. That being said, I want to urge you, once again, to cast your vote in the upcoming election for Andy Harris for the United States House of representatives.

Sincerely,

James C. Dobson, Ph.D.

!Press Release! State of Hawaii to Examine Obama's 'Original' Birth Certificate

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ATTENTION DAYBOOK/ASSIGNMENT EDITORS

ANNOUNCEMENT OF SATURDAY NEWS CONFERENCE IN CHICAGO

Internet powerhouse Andy Martin wins a major victory in Hawai'i as state officials examine and confirm the existence of Barack Obama's secret birth certificate

CNN and Factcheck.org are embarrassed; Martin demands retractions and apologies for their misleading reports

Andy vows to keep up the battle whatever happens on November 4th; a court hearing is scheduled in Honolulu for November 18th and Andy says, "I'll be there."

Martin's birth certificate litigation victory will roil the final weekend of the presidential campaign; the Internet Powerhouse is set to hold a Saturday news conference in Chicago and disclose new attacks on Obama

Martin issues challenge to Barack Obama: Stop lying to the American people and immediately authorize the release of your original, typewritten 1961 birth certificate

Internet warrior Martin returns home to Chicago on Saturday after one month of "combat patrols" fighting the "Obama Gang"

"Barack Obama has been lying to the American people," Andy says

Fox News faces lawsuit for sliming its source

This guy Andy Martin was on Hannity the other night and stirred it up with his allegations. It is reported Hannity regrets having him on as a guest, because of his anti-semitic views.

Martin has devoted the last four years of his life to exposing the 'Real' Obama, and now it looks as if a judge in Hawaii is going to give him his day in court.
If you google this guy you will find all kinds of stuff about him, and indeed he does seem a tad anti-semitic which gives yet even more credibility to his pursuit.

Quote of the Day...Bon Apetite!

From Hollis' October 16 column posted on Townhall.com:

What is exceptional is our economic and political system. If we dismantle the very procedural protections that were put into place to protect us from tyranny (by people who had lived with tyranny and knew it well), then tyranny is what we will get.

And we are being lured into the same noose that has ensnared so many millions of hapless souls, despite reams of pages of history. We express horror at the Hitler Youth in little matching uniforms singing "Hitler will save us, Hitler is our Lord," but then we smile and laugh as we see grade schoolers in matching blue t-shirts singing, "Obama's gonna save us." We are outraged by the army of children in Sudan, but think nothing of American black boys in camouflage pumping their fists and chanting propaganda from Obama's campaign. We are repulsed by some dictators' claims that they are gods, but shrug it off as insignificant when Louis Farrakhan -- a vicious anti-Semite, among other reprehensible things - says "the Messiah is speaking" in a speech referring to Obama.

Still don't think it can happen here? Well, you're in good company. Neither did the Russians. Or the Germans. Or the Chinese. Or the North Koreans. Or the Vietnamese. Or the Cubans. Or the Cambodians.

Critics will call this alarmist fear-mongering. So be it. Don't say you haven't been warned.

THE PARTY'S OVER

By Linda Monk


The Crash of 2008, which is now wiping out trillions of dollars of our people's wealth, is, like the Crash of 1929, likely to mark the end of one era and the onset of another.

The new era will see a more sober and much diminished America .

The "Omnipower" and "Indispensable Nation" we heard about in all the hubris and braggadocio following our Cold War victory is history.

Seizing on the crisis, the left says we are witnessing the failure of market economics, a failure of conservatism.

This is nonsense.

What we are witnessing is the collapse of Gordon Gecko ("Greed Is Good!") capitalism.

What we are witnessing is what happens to a prodigal nation that ignores history, and forgets and abandons the philosophy and principles that made it great.

A true conservative (Rep or Dem) cherishes prudence and believes in fiscal responsibility, balanced budgets and a self-reliant republic.

He believes in saving for retirement and a rainy day, in deferred gratification, in not buying on credit what you cannot afford, in living within your means.

Is that really what got Wall Street and us into this mess -- that we followed too religiously the gospel of Robert Taft and Russell Kirk?

"Government must save us!" cries the left, as ever.

Yet, who got us into this mess if not the government -- the Fed with its easy money, Bush with his profligate spending, and Congress and the SEC by liberating Wall Street and failing to step in and stop the drunken orgy?

For years, we Americans have spent more than we earned.

We save nothing.

Credit card debt, consumer debt, auto debt, mortgage debt, corporate debt -- all are at record levels.

And with pensions and savings being wiped out, much of that debt will never be repaid.
Our standard of living is inevitably going to fall.

For foreigners will not forever buy our bonds or lend us more money if they rightly fear that they will be paid back, if at all, in cheaper dollars.

We are going to have to learn to live again within our means.

THE PARTY'S OVER!

Up through World War II, we followed the Hamiltonian idea that America must remain economically independent of the world in order to remain politically independent.

But this generation decided that was yesterday's bromide and we must march bravely forward into a Global Economy, where we all depend on one another.

American companies morphed into "Global Companies" and moved plants and factories to Mexico , Asia, China andIndia, and we began buying more cheaply from abroad what we used to make at home: shoes, clothes, bikes, cars, radios, TVs, planes, computers.

As the trade deficits began inexorably to rise to 6 percent of GDP, we began vast borrowing from abroad to continue buying from abroad.

At home, propelled by tax cuts, war in Iraq and an explosion in social spending, surpluses vanished and deficits reappeared and began to rise.

The dollar began to sink, and gold began to soar.

Yet, still, the promises of the politicians come.

Barack Obama will give us national health insurance and tax cuts for all but that 2 percent of the nation that already carries 50 percent of the federal income tax load.

John McCain is going to cut taxes, expand the military, move NATO into Georgia and Ukraine, confront Russia and force Iran to stop enriching uranium or "bomb, bomb, bomb," with Joe Lieberman as wartime consigliore.

Who are we kidding?

What we are witnessing today is how empires end.

The Last Superpower is unable to defend its borders, protect its currency, win its wars or balance its budget.


Medicare and Social Security are headed for the cliff with unfunded liabilities in the tens of trillions of dollars.

What we are witnessing today is nothing less than a Katrina-like failure of government, of our political class, and of democracy itself, casting a cloud over the viability and longevity of the system.

Notice who is managing the crisis.

Not our elected leaders.

Nancy Pelosi says she had nothing to do with it.

Congress is paralyzed and heading home.

President Bush is nowhere to be seen.

Hank Paulson of Goldman Sachs and Ben Bernanke of the Fed chose to bail out Bear Sterns but let Lehman go under.

They decided to nationalize Fannie and Freddie at a cost to taxpayers of hundreds of billions, putting the U.S.government behind $5 trillion in mortgages.

They decided to buy AIG with $85 billion rather than see the insurance giant sink beneath the waves.

An unelected financial elite is now entrusted with the assignment of getting us out of a disaster into which an unelected financial elite plunged the nation.


We are just spectators.

What the Greatest Generation handed down to us -- the richest, most powerful, most self-sufficient republic in history, with the highest standard of living any nation had ever achieved -- the baby boomers, oblivious and self-indulgent to the end, have frittered away.

I Didn't Know That

Question: What is America's first line of missile interceptor defense that protects the entire United States?
Answer: 49th Missile Defense Battalion of Alaska National Guard.

Question: What is the ONLY National Guard unit on permanent active duty?
Answer: 49th Missile Defense Battalion of Alaska National Guard

Question: Who is the Commander in Chief of the 49th Missile Defense Battalion of Alaska National Guard?
Answer: Governor Sarah Palin, Alaska

Question: What U.S. governor is routinely briefed on highly classified military issues, homeland security, and counter terrorism?
Answer: Governor Sarah Palin, Alaska

Question: What U.S. governor has a higher classified security rating than either candidate of the Democrat Party?
Answer: Governor Sarah Palin, Alaska

According to the Washington Post, she first met with McCain in February, but nobody ever found out. This is a woman used to keeping secrets. She can be entrusted with our national security, because she already is.

Now you know!

Record Saturday

Just when I thought things were quiet, (comment wise) I received the unique visitor numbers for yesterday and I have to tell you, WHAT A DAY! Thanks for visiting and ALL of the support. By the way, did you see the article on the front page of the Daily Times this morning. Greg Bassett is so desperate to keep his Wife's job, he's plugging Kratovil and even trying to save face on the "WE SOLVED THE CRISIS" quote THEY printed and never retracted. Oh, now they want YOU to decide. Yes Folks, I don't care what you say, the Daily Times knows the pressure Salisbury News is putting on them and today clearly proved they are now the #2 source for local news and information and Salisbury News is now #1. Take it from a true leader, VOTE ANDY HARRIS FOR CONGRESS! We're NOT asking Andy for any jobs as a favor back.

HISTORICAL MOMENTS BY GEORGE CHEVALLIER

Humphrey’s Lake


What is now East Main St., was once under the waters of Humphrey’s Lake. The waters in the lake were filled by the drainage from the headwaters of the East branch of the Wicomico River. This origin is now Schumaker Pond.

The first and only effort to dam the river was a dam built in 1743 by William Venables. Because of this dam he was able to produce enough water power to set up his grist mill to service the local area. The mill was located where the Wicomico County Library is today. When the dam burst in 1909, steam power had replaced most of the water-powered mills and the mill never operated there again. Efforts were made by some local businessmen to have the state or government assist financially in rebuilding the dam, but the lack of need for water power entered into their decision to not rebuild.

Humphreys Lake was originally named T. Humphreys Lake after Thomas Humphreys. The Humphreys owned all the land north of the lake near the dam and operated a saw mill and grist mill by the power supplied by the water tumbling over the dam.

It is rumored that there is a cave on the East end near what is now Route 13 that was the hiding place of one Ben Allen, a Tory during the Revolutionary War. He was a large man and caused a lot of trouble for the Patriots during the War.

During the Civil War, a Union Army encampment was established of the South side of Humphreys Lake. It was named Camp Upton for the commander of the Union forces there. The street that ran beside it from South Division Street to the railroad was also named after him, Upton Street.

After the army left, a local attorney, Thomas Humphreys, built his offices there. It had a vantage position, located on a natural rise that commanded a view over Humphreys Lake, owned by his ancestors, dating back to the pre-Revolutionary period. Also within his sight was the South Division Street dam and the family operated water powered mills.

The site was subsequently occupied by the new high school, which opened in 1905. The previous high school had been named Salisbury High School, but the new school was named Wicomico High School for two reasons. First, it took in students from all over the county, not just Salisbury. Second, it had to do this to finance the new school. It served as the only high school from 1905 to 1931, when the new high school was built out on Main St. across from what is now City Park. This land was made available when the dam burst in 1909, exposing all the land that is now utilized by the school, the City Park and many businesses. The old high school was used as a grade school through the 30’s and 40’s when it was declared too run down and declared surplus by the county. The property was purchased by the Brush-Moore Company of Akron, Ohio, the owners of the Daily Times at the time. They built new offices on the site and they remain to this day the home offices of the Daily Times.

When the dam broke in 1909, it was the end of an era. Gone were the boat rides on the lake in the summer and the skating in the winter. The Old School Baptist Church, which is still located at the corner of Church and Baptist Streets, lost the shallow water for their immersions behind the Church. The exposed land was purchased from the Humphreys family for $40,000 by a group of local businessmen who formed the Salisbury Realty Co. Through their efforts, we now have a very busy East Main St.

Willards To Host A GRound Breaking Open House For New Fire Station

On 11//09/2008 the Willards Fire Department will Host an Open House and ground breaking ceremony for their new new fire house project.

CBS Sunday Morning

The following was written by Ben Stein and recited by him on CBS Sunday Morning

Commentary.

My confession:

I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees, Christmas trees.. I don't feel threatened. I don't feel discriminated against. That's what they are: Christmas trees.

It doesn't bother me a bit when people say, 'Merry Christmas' to me. I don't think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto. In fact, I kind of like it It shows that we are all brothers and sisters celebrating this happy time of year. It doesn't bother me at all that there is a manger scene on display at a key intersection near my beach house in Malibu .. If people want a church, it's just as fine with me as is the Menorah a few hundred yards away.

I don't like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don't think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period. I have no idea where the concept came from that America is an explicitly atheist country. I can't find it in the Constitution and I don't like it being shoved down my throat.

Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from that we should worship celebrities and we aren't allowed to worship God as we understand Him? I guess that's a sign that I'm getting old, too. But there are a lot of us who are wondering where these celebrities came from and where the America we knew went to.

In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a little different: This is not intended to be a joke; it's not funny, it's intended to get you thinking.

Billy Graham's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her 'How could God let something like this happen?' (regarding Katrina) Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response. She said, 'I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives. And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?'

In light of recent events... terrorists attack, school shootings, etc. I think it started when Madeleine Murray O'Hare (she was murdered, her body found a few years ago) complained she didn't want prayer in our schools, and we said OK. Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school. The Bible says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself. And we said OK.

Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehave because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem (Dr Spock's son committed suicide). We said an expert should know what he's talking about. And we said OK.

Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves.

Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a great deal to do with 'WE REAP WHAT WE SOW.'

My Best Regards, Honestly and respectfully,

Ben Stein

ANOTHER BANK SIEZED BY THE FEDS THIS WEEKEND

17th US BANK SEIZURE THIS YEAR AS FEDS MOVE AGAIN THIS PAST FRIDAY NIGHT

Florida's Freedom Bank of Bradenton became the 17th latest fatality in Bank closings this year. The bank lost $258 million over the past two quarters in written down real-estate loans.

Red Neck Bank Loan

We are not as dumb as they think we are!!

A Redneck from Alabama walked into a bank in New York City and asked for the loan officer.

He told the loan officer that he was going to Bakersfield on business for two weeks and needed to borrow $5,000 and that he was not a depositor of the bank. The bank officer told him that the bank would need some form of security for the loan, so the Redneck handed over the keys to a new Ferrari. The car was parked on the street in front of the bank. The Redneck produced the title and everything checked out. The loan officer agreed to hold the car as collateral for the loan and apologized for having to charge 12% interest.

Later, the bank's president and its officers all enjoyed a good laugh at the Redneck from the south for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral for a $5,000 loan. An employee of the bank then drove the Ferrari into the bank's underground garage and parked it.

Two weeks later, the Redneck returned, repaid the $5,000 and the interest of $23.07. The loan officer said, 'Sir, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multimillionaire.

What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow $5,000?'

The Alabama Redneck replied, 'Where else in New York City , can I park my car for two weeks for only $23.07 and expect it to be there when I return?'

His name was...
