Fredericksburg, VA: Obama's Bloated Attendance Report is Deflated by 100+ Actual McCain-Palin Supporters: VA IS McCAIN COUNTRY!

The Fredericksburg, VA region will not turn blue, or even a shade of purple this November as Obamamaniacs would like us to believe. This is FIRMLY Republican ground, and I've never been more convinced than today when THOUSANDS of cars honked their horns vigorously in support of today's grassroots activism display by a cooperative effort of regional McCain supporters.

This idea sprung up at a typical jam-packed nightly calling session at the regional GOP Headquarters this past Thursday night, even though we weren't certain whether Obama would cancel the MWU event to go to Washington, D.C. and put his 143 days of experience in the U.S. Senate to good use and solve the financial crisis.

You see, that's where Senator John McCain was today instead of glad-handing a bunch of ninnies like Barry Obama was.

I was proud to be part of a one-hundred-plus-strong army of McCain-Palin supporters from throughout the greater Fredericksburg region, who answered the action call of their committees to "welcome" his highness Obama to the campus of Mary Washington University today— and boy did we!

We lined a quarter-mile of Jefferson Davis Highway with patriots of Virginia who proudly held 4'x8' signs supporting John McCain and Sarah Palin. We would have gone farther, but we ran out of signs!

We let Obama know that this is McCAIN COUNTRY! Not one- repeat- NOT ONE Obama sign or supporter came out AT ALL on the road we lined for more than five hours! Not one Obama supporter or sign holder came out on any side street of the city either!

Yes, some houses have his signs in their yard like any other election, and despite more than 30 huge McCain signs being slashed and stolen the night before off of private property and front yards of houses, we managed to get them all replaced and fortified with proud McCain supporters who were happy to guard their property against these cowards and vandals and beat back the "invasion" of a few hundred Obama disciples who trickled in over the rest of the afternoon.

The press is trying to report a huge lie of seemingly insignificant information, but if this is any indication of the way they do their Sunday morning polling (when conservatives are IN CHURCH) then you too may just be a "believer" that Obama is winning too.

Who wants to decry BULLS%#T first? Here's your chance if you were there- no matter who you supported... They're saying Obama's visit to Fredericksburg, VA was greeted with "26,000 supporters." Yep- that's the official count released tonight.... in a tiny city of 21,000 total residents, on a campus of about 4,500 students that issued a permit for Obama's historic visit for 1,500 people (that's one thousand five-hundred) in a roped off area about the size of a baseball field's infield and some outfield too, they fit "26,000 people" ...reportedly. BEEE ESSS!

Watch the video news reports- you'll see quick pan shots of a crowd not more than about 25 deep in a semicircle in front of the stage...

I've never seen this kind of false propaganda get out into the news in person before except in the opposite case when the MSM (mainstream media) covers a Washington, D.C. annual Pro-Life rally and ignores the attendance volumes and plays them off as barely attended.

At least in the case of the Free Lance-Star article not written by a bonafied liberal-lover named Chelyen Davis, Kelly Hannon had the decency to mention the Pro-Lifers from multiple organizations that dutifully reminded the Obama guests that Obama supports post-birth "born alive abortions" aka, infanticide, and proudly fundraises cash for Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest taxpayer-subsidized for profit abortion chain. Not to solely pick on Obama, Hillary Clinton is close friends with Cecile Richards, the CEO of P.P., but Hillary is ollld news now, so I'll end that tangent.

Interestingly enough, both FLS writers or their editor, left out any mention in either article about the hundred-plus McCain folks outside the gates. Fortunately for our side tens of thousands saw us with their own eyes and know that they're not alone just because they're part of the so-called 'silent majority'. Election day will reveal just how silent they are. Their car horns certainly weren't silent today.

Back to the point; the press is reporting that enough people to fill HALF OF RFK STADIUM somehow squeezed into a baseball diamond. Call Guinness people- this one is for the record books!

HOGWASH! Several thousand attending— absolutely, I buy that— and why not? He's a rock star after all. Yes, several hundred- perhaps a thousand were lined up around the permitted area too and on sidewalks in the area, but it is a university for pete's sake- students are there in that volume on any given school night! I suppose you could STRETCH the numbers to hit 4,000 if you included all the students milling around too... but c'mon guys- 26,000??

While some of his drones were nice enough to give us only the thumbs down as we waved to them as they entered the campus of Mary Washington University, still other sheep gave us the middle finger and shouted "F*#@ every one of you BAS@#^&@!!" which happened at least a dozen times with the exact same quote.... one only wonders how they orchestrated this identical mantra so well when their Lord and savior (Barack Hussein Obama, a fine Christian man from the mid west the press will tell you) couldn't even get to Fredericksburg on time! He was 2 hours late getting to the stage.

Was he fashionably late or making hype build up? Maybe he just couldn't decide if he needed a tactic or a strategy to get there.

The press reported on tonight's TV news that supporters endured SIX rain storms before he got there... wow- now they rewrite the weather too! YES it poured like a monsoon from about 5:00- 5:30, and then stopped instantly. Amazingly there was even a rainbow! I figured- Obama himself MUST be on stage now... the clouds parted and a rainbow was present for heaven's sake. But no, he was practicing his speech in the car apparently.

If you listen to the same press, you'll hear how he 'won' the debate against John McCain too (though he couldn't remember the name of the soldier when he said "I have a bracelet too" to McCain in response to McCain bringing up how he wears a bracelet as a request from a mom of a fallen U.S. soldier to honor his memory.

Have YOU had enough Obama-mania? I sure have. As a local county GOP member, I'm doing something about it.

Want to get involved too? Call your local GOP committee or the Fredericksburg Regional GOP Headquarters at (202) 507-0841, located in South Stafford off exit 133b.

I'd like to extend a special thanks to the UMW Young Republicans who came out in volumes today and cheered enthusiastically for their candidate. You made all the difference in our success and filled in our ranks tremendously! Sorry, this is the only picture I snapped of you when you first started arriving- if you have a better one with all 30-40 of you, send it! (p.s. next time use permanent markers! Sorry the rain ruined all your hard work.)

Also- be sure to come to the Fredericksburg EXPO center this Thursday October 2, 2008 for a FREE event with "thousands" of your closest Republican friends: Sarah Palin debating Joe Biden live on Jumbo TV's (via satellite) See http://www.fredgop.com/ for details. You must register to attend- space is limited.

All your favorite elected officials will be there including former U.S. Senator George Allen and Congressman Rob Wittman!

Why Abortion is a Pivitol Election Subject, by the FLS?

Wow!

Who knew the FLS had an editor with common sense and the ability to not spin a topic against Republicans? Though it doesn't happen often (but it does happen and I link to it when it does), the editorial page got this one right.

Without human rights— specifically, without the right to live— what good are any other rights and laws?

In a few days we can expect the liberal drool of deathspeak and justification for abortion that will come after it unfortunately, but here it is while it's relevant and on the spot:

WHEN John McCain announced Sarah Palin as his pick for vice president, conservative Christians were electrified. Finally, a solidly pro-life choice woman who, by refusing to abort her own Down syndrome baby, and in dealing with her daughter's pregnancy, was confirming the value of every human life.

But when I expressed this to a friend of mine, a person I enjoy and respect, her consternation was apparent. "Why does it have to be that one single issue," she asked, "and why does religion have to play such a big role in politics? Our country is in trouble!"

At that point, I realized we had some 'splainin' to do.

Why is abortion such a big deal? I can hardly blame anyone for taking that viewpoint. Nearly four decades ago, a close friend came to me with a confession: She was pregnant. I remember sitting in my dorm room asking her, with a certain degree of wonder, how it felt to have a new life inside her. And then I supported her through her abortion.

I was motivated back then by my concern for my friend, pragmatism (having the baby would have profoundly disrupted her life), and a decidedly secular worldview. I had been brought up in a mainline church, and my knowledge of the Bible was minimal. It took personal failure and a disruption in my own circumstances to change that.

Think of "worldview" as the basic presuppositions we have about life--the grid through which we filter information and synthesize our responses to it. Most Americans see life through either a secular worldview or a religious worldview. Either man is the center of all things and the arbitrator of right and wrong, or God is.

The extreme of the former is expressed by British professor Richard Dawkins: "The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is at the bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, and no good--nothing but blind pitiless indifference. DNA neither knows nor cares. DNA just is, and we dance to its music."

No God, no good, no ultimate meaning. If we are simply dancing to our DNA, then there is no objective, absolute right or wrong. We can decide morals on our own, making up the rules as we go. We came from a chance collision of egg and sperm, and when we're dead, we're dead.

If there is a God, we have two choices: discount his current involvement in the world or acknowledge him as sovereign. I took the first position in my ignorant youth--I believed in God, but I saw him as a distant deity--irrelevant, really, to my day-to-day life. Although I thought of myself as a Christian, I had essentially adopted the secular worldview. I did what seemed right to me.

Then I learned more. Conservative Christians, I found, believe God has spoken through the Bible and the life and teachings of Jesus Christ and is very involved in everyday life. God is sovereign. He decrees what is right and wrong, and we are answerable to Him.

Over and over again in the Old Testament, God admonishes His people to "choose life." Over and over again, He punishes his beloved Israel for its refusal to follow his ways. Psalm 139 proclaims: "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb." And therein lies the heart of the issue: If life is sacred and each child a gift, abortion is thumbing our collective nose at the Creator--the same God to Whom we cry out when we are facing hurricanes or terrorist attacks. Why should God bless Americans when we disrespect His most basic gift? We've aborted 40 million lives since 1973.

Certainly, as my friend said, there are other issues we need to be concerned about. Among them are corporate greed and corruption, governmental malpractice, health care costs, and the role of lobbyists and special-interest groups in Washington and Richmond. But to me, the bellwether issue is abortion. It's foundational if we expect God's help with the rest.

That's why I can't get past Barack Obama's views on the subject. Picture this: A woman goes in for a late-term abortion. Somehow, some way, that tiny baby survives the procedure. There it is a fully formed human being, albeit one that needs some help. Do you suction his tiny airway? Feed him? Or do you put him on a counter and let him die? Obama was the only Illinois state senator to vote against a bill authorizing doctors to treat that child. Not even NARAL opposed that measure. His position reflects amazingly poor moral judgment.

But why should religious beliefs play such a strong role in politics? Well, let's see. The religious beliefs that grew out of the Reformation have given us, among other things, the concept of inalienable rights (endowed by the Creator), our system of checks and balances (needed because of the sinful nature of man), the idea that all people--including the king--are answerable to God's law, minority rights, government by consent, and our precious freedoms (press, religion, speech, etc.).

So do orthodox Christians want a theocracy? Not at all. One of the first principles of the Bible is free will. We get to choose; we also get the consequences. But it's our duty to stand up and say what we believe: Abortion takes an innocent life.

This isn't new. Abortion and infanticide were common in Rome, and the earliest Christians rescued babies left to die from exposure.

Philosopher Ravi Zach-arias tells a fitting joke: One night two Australian sailors on shore leave go into a London pub and get plastered. While they're drinking, a terrible fog sets in. When they finally stumble out of the bar, the sailors quickly get lost. Then a man approaches them, emerging out of the fog. Underneath his topcoat is the uniform of a high-ranking British naval officer. One of the sailors asks, "S'cuse me, bloke, but do you know where we are?" The officer, highly offended, responds, "Do you know who I am?" The sailor turns to his buddy and says, "God 'elp us, mate. We don't know where we are, and he doesn't know who he is!"

That's the condition of 21st-century man. We don't know who we are: beloved individuals created in the image of God. And we don't know where we are: drifting away from His objective moral standards. God help us.
