Obamish is a language based on lies -- but, when it's effective, it's a language that establishes plausible deniability around the implementation of politically risky, far-left policies.  Obamish is an arrogant language, premised on a need-to-know custodial view of the governed.  Paul Kengor claims:

Honestly, I don’t know who’s stupider, readers who believe Sarah actually sits and calls people one at a time, the only way she could have “accidentally” called Kansas, or the hack “journalists” who think their readers will fall for this nonsense.

It’s kind of pathetic, but this just goes to show the lengths the Democrat Industrial Media Complex will go to shape opinions using lies and half-truths.

Take an article by Bernie Quigley from  &lt;a href="http://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/campaign/228541-elizabeth-warrens-true-american-lineage"&gt;The Hills Pundits Blog&lt;/a&gt; who writes:
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;
Elizabeth Warren might be excused for wanting to be Native American. She can claim an old American soul, going back generations in Oklahoma. In the heartland it is almost universal for those who have been there for a few generations to claim Indian blood; that is, to wish it were there even if it isn't. &lt;/i&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
And heres the FUNNY PART:         &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt; It is not so much a lie as it is the acculturation of personal and regional American myth; the fabric of old-soul American consciousness.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt; Throw in a quote by an Indian chief and maybe it will sound even more convincing....oh wait....the writer adds:&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;"Our spirit will walk among you," said Chief Joseph. Indeed it does.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then we discover a little unknown truth about what might be limited to liberal blogging pundits, but I assume the author implies it for all American:&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Indians come to us as dream guides, spirit guides and, like Sacagawea, actual guides to our most important journeys at once physical and metaphysical. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt; The whole article could be great parody, but the author actually intended it to be truthful. Apparently, according to them,  anyone can say they have Indian in their blood and not be lying. Looks like we all need to apply for government benefits and get in on some of that casino action.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1486527826525856452-7140489414604246618?l=zorekrichards.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Jewish publicist, Michael Levine recalls meeting Summer in 2002: “Beyond her music, she was deeply committed to her spirituality and her religion,” Levine said.  “She would have Bible study classes at her house and even invited me to attend.”
&lt;p&gt;When AIDS hit the scene in a devastating and still widely misunderstood way in the 80′s, Summer was said to have made some anti-gay remarks that hugely impacted her career negatively.  The diva whose records had been the toast of many gay clubs back-in-the-day had, by this time returned to her strict Christian roots and became born-again.  She was alleged to have said that AIDS was a punishment from God for the immoral lifestyles of homosexuals.  She vehemently denied the allegations but apologized profusely for her delayed reaction in not addressing the accusations promptly.  She wanted to stay out of the controversey and thought that by being quiet that it would pass. &lt;p&gt;
There's lots that could probably be written about her and I am sure will be in the next few days. I think the best way to define her might be from this video from 1983:&lt;p&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Ry5s079w5z8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/center&gt;

&lt;a href="http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/entertainment/2012/05/donna-summer-disco-queen-dead-at-63/"&gt;Donna Summer, Disco Queen, Dead at 63&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;  &lt;br&gt;Donna Summer, the singer who came to be known as the “Queen of Disco” during her 1970s heyday, died at her Naples, Fla. home today after battling lung cancer. She was 63.

“Early this morning, surrounded by family, we lost Donna Summer Sudano, a woman of many gifts, the greatest being her faith,” her family said in a statement. “While we grieve her passing, we are at peace celebrating her extraordinary life and her continued legacy.  Words truly can’t express how much we appreciate your prayers and love for our family at this sensitive time.”

&lt;a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1685321/donna-summer-dead-died-cultural-impact.jhtml"&gt;Donna Summer's Legacy: A Pop-Culture Guide&lt;/a&gt; While many may not realize it, Summer is the foremother of, well, just about every pop song on the radio today. Her iconic 1977 anthem "I Feel Love," which peaked at #6 on the Billboard singles chart (one of 14 top 10 hits), was the first mainstream song to be produced using an entirely synthesized backing track. Until then, most disco recordings had been backed by acoustic orchestras, and the reception to the song revolutionized music.&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2012/05/donna-summer-disco-hitmaker-dies-at-63.html"&gt;Donna Summer dead: Her voice soared through disco and beyond&lt;/a&gt; But unlike some other stars of disco who faded as the music became less popular, she was able to grow beyond it and later segued to a pop-rock sound. She had one of her biggest hits in the 1980s with "She Works Hard for the Money," which became an anthem for women's rights.
&lt;p&gt;
Soon after, Summer became a born-again Christian and faced controversy when she was accused of making anti-gay comments in relation to the AIDS epidemic. Summer denied making the comments but was the target of a boycott.

Still, even as disco went out of fashion she remained a fixture in dance clubs, endlessly sampled and remixed into contemporary dance hits.
&lt;p&gt;
Her last album, "Crayons," was released in 2008 and marked her first full studio album in 17 years. She also performed on "American Idol" that year with its top female contestants.

&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;If you have not heard of Dallas based pastor Tony Evans, then you have not been keeping up with the news this week. After President Obama made his not so unsurprising announcement about supporting gay marriage, Tony Evans--who is also African-American--stepped into the media spot light and said "Obama is wrong." Evans is not someone I ever paid much attention to, and maybe part of it is because he is pastor of an 8000 member mega church. Mega churches and me generally don't see eye to eye much...but now I have to dissolve my stereotype after doing a bit of research on him. &lt;p&gt;
The winning punch was when I came across his book "How Should Christians Vote?". Just the title is enough to scare me away because based on the similar things I have read on the subject,  the recipes for candidate choices never made much sense.  But Evans struck right to the core of the issue (paraphrase, mine): We are a  nation who is deeply rooted in seeking the will of our neighbor rather than ourselves...but we have been losing our way....through the mud and the gore that has become symbolic of our American election process.  Evans attempts to  point the believer back to the Bible as the source of how Christians should vote. &lt;p&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;i&gt;Our vote should be based on seeking the benefit of our neighbor's, strengthening families, and voting based on those principles rather than cultural norms.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;p&gt; Selfless voting? Now why hasn't anyone suggested that before? Now THAT is wisdom I can vote with. &lt;p&gt;Zorek Richards&lt;p&gt;


&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;p&gt;

&lt;a href="http://www.independentmail.com/news/2012/may/12/dallas-based-preacher-tony-evans-returns-for/"&gt;Dallas-based preacher Tony Evans returns for Anderson County Baptist revival &lt;/a&gt; Dallas-based preacher Tony Evans, whose web and radio broadcasts reach millions of listeners weekly across the country, will head up three straight evenings of preaching and music this Monday through Wednesday at Covenant Baptist Church at 4521 Liberty Highway.

Evans leads the 8,000-member Oak Cliff Fellowship, an interracial congregation in Dallas. He also is chaplain to the Dallas Mavericks NBA team.&lt;p&gt;
&lt;a href="http://caffeinatedthoughts.com/2012/05/tony-evans-on-obamas-same-sex-marriage-endorsement/"&gt;Tony Evans on Obama’s Same Sex Marriage Endorsement&lt;/a&gt; He said, very clearly, that President Obama is wrong to support same sex marriage.  The argument (at least some of it) he uses wouldn’t necessarily be one you’d use lobbying on the issue (unfortunately); he does make a strong case why Christians shouldn’t embrace same sex marriage and why it shouldn’t be linked to civil rights.  I also believe this is symbolic of the type of push back he’s going to receive from Black churches.&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LDsyw_n-2VI/T7SMh4XiX5I/AAAAAAAAFAI/yv0j5br8L70/s1600/tony-evans_thumb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:right; float:right; margin-left:1em; margin-bottom:1em"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="176" width="244" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LDsyw_n-2VI/T7SMh4XiX5I/AAAAAAAAFAI/yv0j5br8L70/s400/tony-evans_thumb.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;

"In every level of society, we're seeing a downward spiral in homes, relationships, marriages, even churches. People need and want something different."

Mikey Weinstein, President of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, writes for Alternet of a series of exposes, leading up to General Dempsey’s edict, of courses and presentations to officers where they’re told “we have to kill Islam” or “America and the West are doomed to failure in this war unless they stand up and identify the real enemy: Islam.”
&lt;p&gt;
Says Weinstein:&lt;p&gt;

&lt;tt&gt;Anti-Muslim hatred … has warped the cultural competence of United Staes service members, leading to grim results in combat theaters within which the U.S. has been engaged since 9/11. In 2012 alone there have been reports of bodies being urinated on by U.S. Marines, the proud and brazen display of the Nazi Waffen-SS banner by U.S. Marines, soldiers posing with corpses, and most insultingly, the burning of copies of the Qur’an at Bagram Air Field. Most recently, the Beaufort, South Carolina-based Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 122 (VMFA-122) renamed themselves the “Crusaders” (a phrase which literally means “taking up the cross”) and adopted the iconography of the crusading, medieval Knights Templar.
&lt;p&gt;
In a poor, strife-ridden nation such as Afghanistan, people have little to hold on to beyond strong familial and tribal bonds and a firm sense of national, ethnic, cultural and religious dignity. Sadly, racist and dehumanizing indoctrination by America’s own war machine has transformed all too many American war fighters into arrogant, marauding crusaders.

Those who allowed for these egregious violations of DoD-sponsored Islamophobia to take place must face stern and swift discipline for their complicity in the dissemination of bigoted disinformation that has placed American lives at dire risk.&lt;/tt&gt;&lt;p&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;I think Pat Robertson actually nailed it correct in regards to Romney. He is not Jesus, nor is he running for head of the Christian church. (That's only acceptable if you're at Vanderbilt College). There is a contrast between Obama and Romney, even though some people are trying to blur it. The blur comes in the form of the healthcare program Romney established in his home state and the one Obama is forcing on America. &lt;p&gt;Romney, however, will be an improvement over Obama. But, then again, it wouldnt take much to be an improvement over Obama.&lt;p&gt;Romney is being careful not to wear his Mormonism on his sleeves even though its pretty clear it is important to him. Even that is a better contrast to Obama who admits he belongs to whichever religion he happens to be talking to at the time. I have heard him say through news bytes that he is Muslim and also heard him say he is Christian. Quite frankly, I think if the Amish were a strong voting demographic I think he would probably say he was Amish, also. &lt;p&gt; If the Ron Paulbots don't undermine the Republican party  by the time the convention comes around, then Mitt Romney looks like a "shoe-in" candidate to take over the White House next January. The best Obama can do is promise to do the promises he said he would do in 2008 but never did in the last four years. Which, BTW, if I am ever pressed to recall what he did in his first term that was positive I really draw a blank. Well...he killed that fly on TV...and that was kinda cool.....or at least the reporter (Charlie Gibson) was impressed. &lt;p&gt;
I am noting, of course, that this article is turning into more of a complaint list about Obama...but that, in my opinion, is what this is all about. Mitt Romney is NOT Obama. If he is the Republican nominee, then thats good enough for me. I am not a Republican and through the debates I rooted for Cain, Santorum and even Gingrich. But I will be very glad to vote against Obama. Romney, it appears, will get my vote by default. &lt;p&gt;Zorek Richards
&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/center&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.miamiherald.com/2012/05/15/2801079/romney-makes-the-case-for-his.html"&gt;Romney makes the case for his values&lt;/a&gt; Romney claimed that culture is the key to civilizational success — and that American culture is shaped by Jewish and Christian values such as the priority of the individual, personal responsibility and the dignity of work. These values, in turn, are strengthened in religious institutions and traditional families. Agree or disagree, Romney set out a sophisticated case for cultural conservatism: that liberal public institutions depend on virtues and values shaped in conservative social institutions.
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;a href="http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/christian-heinze/227641-romneys-faith-could-fix-compassion-gap"&gt;Romney’s faith could fix compassion gap&lt;/a&gt; Romney himself has made it clear that he’s not interested in veering into theological discussions during the campaign, and it’s not hard to see why. Mormon doctrine remains a mystery to many Americans, and the Romney campaign would rather litigate Obama’s record, not Joseph Smith’s.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://global.christianpost.com/news/pat-robertson-says-jesus-not-in-race-but-romney-will-do-74934/"&gt;Pat Robertson Says Jesus Not in Race, But Romney Will Do&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

He was governor of Michigan, did a superb job as governor. He's not running for Chief Rabbi or Chief American Pastor. He's running for Chief Executive, and he's a skilled lawyer, he's a skilled businessman. And that's what we need... somebody [who] would bring business acumen to the White House," Robertson shared with viewers on his show in April.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.politico.com/blogs/charlie-mahtesian/2012/05/an-egyptian-view-of-the-race-123549.html"&gt;An Egyptian view of the 2012 race&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;u&gt;Z-NOTE: &lt;i&gt;Of course, it was with a great laugh that I read that this author calls Obama an "evangelical Christian." So you have to read that somewhat tongue in cheek.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt; The first candidate, Obama, is an evangelical Christian but attempts to pass the plan that the Catholic Church opposes in principle, and the second candidate, Romney, belongs to the Mormon Church, which the Catholic Church is not able to support or even describe as a church. The Vatican, particularly current Pope Benedict XVI, calls non-Catholic churches Christian “movements.” According to it, there is only one Church, and not many churches (in the theological definition of the Church). This unique Church is the Catholic Church.
&lt;p&gt;
Mormons, unlike other Christian churches, prohibit, for example, alcoholic beverages and smoking while allowing polygamy. They raise the authority of the movement’s founder, Joseph Smith, to that of a prophet and believe that the revelation came down to him through tablets similar to those of Moses, and so on. That is why they were persecuted, isolated and separated. They developed a culture of internal cooperation and followers’ total trust in their church. This is the first time in the history of the United States that a Mormon has achieved what Mitt Romney has achieved as a candidate running in the presidential election. If he wins it, he is going to be a historical phenomenon, as President Obama certainly has been as the first president of African descent in the White House.

&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td&gt;The obvious observation is that there are many in the Church who would rather get their marching orders from Obama, the liberal media, or the bad and unsubstantiated theory that there is some kind of gene that causes "gayness" or that they think its clever to say that if people dont like gay people then, the heterosexuals should stop having them, or claim it claim it has something to do with hate.  It has nothing to do with hate. That is one of the many  pro-gay movement's self developed strawmen. Christian people, tired of being attacked for using old testament verses from Leviticus and then being asked why they eat pork and dont stone people, now seem to be even overlooking the New Testament verses:&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt; "For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due."
—Romans 1:26-27 (NKJV)
&lt;p&gt;
"Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God."
—1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (NKJV)&lt;p&gt;

"Knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine,"
—1 Timothy 1:9-10 (NKJV)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;p&gt;They either ignore them, write off Paul as an incompetent authority, or reinterpret the verses until they can get it to mean what they want it to. That's not a new thing, of course, as the humanists who sometimes use the "Christian" label have been doing it for centuries. This isn't a matter of hate verses love or popularity verses not, its a battle against holiness. God defines holiness. And in case you haven't gotten that far in your reading, I can tell you that in the end God wins. &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Zorek Richards&lt;/b&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;center&gt;"If you believe what you like in the gospels, and reject what you don’t like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself." --Augustine of Hippo&lt;/center&gt;

I had figured it out in my head, but not my heart. And I was utterly unprepared for how psychologically transformative the moment would be. To have the president of the United States affirm my humanity—and the humanity of all gay Americans—was, unexpectedly, a watershed. &lt;br&gt;

Sen. Jon Tester in Montana, Sen. Claire McCaskill in Missouri and former Gov. Tim Kaine in Virginia have declined to support same-sex marriage, even as Mr. Obama's backing has galvanized the party's liberal wing and activist ranks&lt;p&gt;

&lt;a href="http://blog.seattlepi.com/seattlepolitics/2012/05/14/gay-relationships-morally-acceptable-poll/"&gt;Gay relationships “morally acceptable” — poll&lt;/a&gt; A majority of Americans now agree that same-sex relationships are “morally acceptable” and an even larger number feel they should be legal, according to a Gallup Poll taken earlier this month.

The poll found 54 percent of those questioned found gay and lesbian relationships morally acceptable.

“Do you think gay or lesbian relations between consenting adults should or should not be legal?” Gallup asked.  Sixty-three percent of those polled said they should be legal, just 31 percent said illegal.&lt;p&gt;&lt;center&gt;

These big donors and insiders of the GOP will hold a grudge a good long time for these Ron Paul supporters showing up at a party where they are unwanted. There is, after all, a reason they call it the Republican “Party.”

    Mr. Paul said he will continue to work to win delegates in states that have already voted and where the process of delegate-selection is playing out. He said that’s a way to make his voice heard at the Republican nominating convention in Tampa, Fla., in August.--Associated Press, Washington Times&lt;p&gt;

Paul has found success in wrecking the selection process for delegates to the party's late-summer nominating convention in Tampa, Fla., and trumpeted that he has delayed Romney's expected nomination.

Chuck Colson died Saturday. I dont necessarily consider him one of my lifes greatest mentors, but much of his work has been both inspirational and insightful to me as I have journeyed through this lifetime.
&lt;p&gt;
 

I recollect first hearing about him in a list of a dozen or so other men involved in what, to me at the time, was a pretty big scandal that eventually caused President Nixon to resign. I was still in my early teens and really didn't understand the whole context of what had happened in 1974. My mind was preoccupied with other things as a teen and being part of a broken family (my dad had died four years earlier) I look back and think that if the dictionary had a definition of a "dysfunctional" family it would have been a great definition to just have a picture of our family.

 &lt;p&gt;

I dont mention this much, so this may come as news to many, but, in 1978, as a court defined "child in need of supervision" I ended up spending April through September going back and forth between the Fall River Country Jail and the Juvenile Detention center in Rapid City, South Dakota. In teen years, that many months is almost a life time. I played a lot of cards and did a lot of reading. One of the books I happened to read was a book called "Born Again" by Chuck Colson and read other things about this "Prison Fellowship" ministry he was starting. That was one of several books I read that made me start looking at the Bible. I went in as an atheist, slowly became an agnostic...and the started reading the Bible. Starting from the beginning, the old testament made little sense...so I started at Matthew and began reading the Bible through for my first time. Later I picked up "The Late Great Planet Earth" by Hal Lindsey and I guess it kind of "scared me to heaven," cuz somewhere before September I became a Christian. I dont have a date and time and have even been told by some that if you dont have a date and time then you are not legitimately saved. Well, I lost track of time in the place I was residing but know it was legit...just somewhere around August or Sept 1978. I was released on probation since I had turned 18 that year (in July).

 

 &lt;p&gt;

Anyway, to keep on the subject...later I became somewhat of political activist. There really werent a lot of authors I could find that I thought had any real political insight...though, at the time, I assumed that since Jesus was "compassionate" He had to be a Democrat, so thats what I became initially. Reality and Reagan cured me of that. But one author that came up every now and again who really had some keen insight in the realm of American politics was Chuck Colson. I loved "Kingdoms in Conflict," "A Dance with Deception", and several others. I dont recollect the magazine, but he also had a periodical column that was always insightful.

 
&lt;p&gt;
I really cant say "always insightful" about a whole lot of Christian authors, but I can with Colson. His ministry with prisoners was far reaching and touched many many people. It stayed above the scandals of many other ministries, but I always attributed that to the fact that its founder was "born" in the midst of a monumental scandal.

 &lt;p&gt;

Chuck Colson was the real deal. He has been promoted. I hope to meet him some day when my own promotion has been approved.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1486527826525856452-7614977440829565066?l=zorekrichards.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

A lot of  folks can't understand how we came   to  have an oil "shortage" here in our  country. 
~~~
Well, there's a very simple  answer. 
~~~
Nobody bothered to check the oil. 
~~~
We  just didn't know we were getting low. 
~~~
The reason for that  is purely geographical.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;~~~
Our OIL is located  in: 
~~~
ALASKA
~~~
California
~~~
Coastal   Florida
~~~
Coastal Louisiana 
~~~ 
Coastal Alabama 
~~~~ 
Coastal Mississippi 
~~~~ 
Coastal Texas 
~~~
North  Dakota
~~~
Wyoming
~~~
Colorado
~~~
Kansas
~~~
Oklahoma
~~~
Pennsylvania
~~~ 
Texas

 
And Michigan






 
~~~&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Our dipsticks are located  in DC
~~~
Any Questions?
NO? Didn't think So.

They (Ebay) is not telling you that even though you are paying for the item and the shipping that they are NOT even releasing the money to allow a seller to ship the item. The result has been that a lot of buyers do not get their item. You may need to ask your buyer beforehand if this is a problem. Be aware that Ebay DOES know this, but do not care. 

This email goes to the seller and is sent by Paypal. They do NOT send the buyer the notification. They want to pretend everything is OK.

Nancy lacks a clue. There are similar afflictions which may be a result of simply not having  enough information in our diets. However, in Nancy's case, she has enough information, but her cognitive senses are just not able to process it properly. As a result she is known to have given speeches and even interviews where her inability to digest a clue properly has made her  not able then to deliver a clue.  If we Americans  join together we may be able to give Nancy Pelosi a clue she needs so very very much.
