THREE SIGN POSTS TO A MCCAIN VICTORY |
|
|
|
Written by Jack Kelly

Friday, 20 June 2008 |
Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. has the lead for the time being.
But three sign posts point the way to a McCain landslide in November --
in the unlikely event the Arizona senator has the wit to heed them.
What figures to be by far the most important issue this fall
is the skyrocketing price of energy and its deleterious effect on the broader
economy and national security.
National security is the one issue Sen. McCain knows
something about, and Sen. Obama knows nothing. However, the fact that
we're winning the war on terror makes most Americans less interested in it, and
more focused on economic concerns.
Voter anxiety about Sen. Obama's fitness to be
commander in chief is a strong subsidiary issue. But this election will
be won or lost at the gas pump.

FEDERAL PROSECUTORS AS INTERNATIONAL THUGS |

Imagine a fellow who lives in a
dry county in Mississippi (where alcohol is not sold or served) goes to New
York and has a drink at a bar where he knows the bartender. Shortly thereafter,
the bartender visits his friend in that dry county in Mississippi. The local
sheriff arrests both the bartender and his friend for an act committed in New
York.
Most people, quite properly so,
would argue the Mississippi sheriff has no business arresting people for a
legal act committed in New York, even though it would have been illegal if
committed in Mississippi.
Unfortunately, some prosecutors in the U.S.
federal government are now acting like the rogue Mississippi sheriff described
above when it comes to gambling, securities and tax laws in foreign countries.

THE POST TURTLE |

Friday, 20 June 2008 |
While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old Texas
cowboy rancher, whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the
doctor struck up a conversation with the old man.
Eventually the topic got around to Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. and his bid to be
our President.
The old cowboy said, "Well, ya know, Obama is a 'post turtle'."
Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a 'post turtle'
was.
The old cowboy said, "When you're driving down a country road and you come
across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a 'post turtle'."
The old man saw a puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he continued to
explain.
"You know he didn't get up there by himself, he doesn't belong up there, he
doesn't know what to do while he is up there, and you just want to help the
dumb ass get down."

DUMB AND DUMBER: MCCAIN AND OBAMA ON OUR OIL |
|

Written by Jack Kelly

Monday, 16 June 2008 |
Sen. John McCain plans to visit Colombia and Canada this
summer, presumably to contrast his views on free trade with those of Sen.
Barack Hussein Obama. He may also visit Iraq, in part to remind people
Sen. Obama hasn't been there in more than two years.
Sen. McCain should add one more stop on his summer travel
itinerary. He should visit the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, an area
about the size of South Carolina in Alaska's far north.
Oil companies want to drill in a portion of ANWR roughly the
size of Dulles airport, where the U.S. Geological Survey thinks there may be
10.4 billion barrels of recoverable oil, an amount equivalent to 37 percent of
the current U.S. proved reserves of 21.7 billion barrels.
But Sen. McCain says he'd no sooner drill in ANWR than
in the Grand Canyon. And Sen. Obama is even dumber than that.

HAPPINESS ISN'T ALWAYS VIRTUOUS |

Written by Dr. Joel Wade

Monday, 16 June 2008 |
Happy people make the world a better place. They tend to be
more virtuous and to bring positive relationships and effective problem solving
where they go.
But not always.
Some of the happiest people on earth are those who hold very
rigid and inflexible beliefs with absolute certainty. And these are also the
people who tend to make life miserable for the rest of us.
The terrorist leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq, Abu Musab
al-Zarqawi talked about how miserable he had been before he committed himself
fully to his "cause", and how happy he had been since - happily beheading
innocent people for the cameras so that he could horrify as many people as he
could.
I don't doubt that he actually felt happy. He was totally
absorbed in what he considered meaningful "work", and he could put everything
he had into it, without the burden of doubt or reflection. He was certain, and
passionate, and committed. Happily, our
soldiers killed him in June, 2006.

In a few hours from now (6/12 noon), I'm off to Iraqi Kurdistan, then Jordan and Israel. In July, I'll be retracing Cortez's route from Vera Cruz to Tenochtitlan (Mexico City) launching his conquest of Mexico in 1519. In August, there's our To The Point Revolutionary Rendezvous in Boston.
So this is to let you all know we're switching to our summer schedule for To The Point starting next week. There will be pretty much the same number of articles per week, but we'll be posting them as they come in - rather than compiling them in the TTP Weekly Report on Friday afternoon.
Because other TTP authors also will be traveling a lot as well. Right now, for example, Joel Wade is in the wilds of the Australian Outback with his family.
Thus instead of a Weekly Report, we'll be sending you a TTP Article Alert whenever a new article is up.
Now let's talk about the Revolutionary Rendezvous. The place: Boston. The dates: August 22-24. The schedule:

CONFIRMED: BUSH IS NO RONALD REAGAN – AND NEITHER IS MCCAIN |

On February 11, 1985, President Ronald Reagan hosted a State
Dinner for Saudi King Fahd at the White House.
It was earlier in the day at a private meeting between the two that
history was made.
With oil at sky high prices and the Soviet Union producing
more oil than the Saudis, the oil revenues provided Moscow with a cash cow
financing an incredibly aggressive expansion of its imperialist empire.
The Soviets had added 14 colonies to their empire in recent
years, and with Nicaragua and the El Salvador insurgency as its bases, were
ready to make a move on Mexico. The
largest Soviet embassy in the world was in Mexico City.
With this in mind, Reagan told Fahd what he wanted the Saudi
king to do: quadruple oil production
and crash world oil prices. Fahd was
stunned. "Why should I ever want to do
that? " was his response.

The Chicoms' prospects for their Genocide Olympics keep
rolling downhill. The latest headline
indicator: Will The
Olympics Not Be Televised?
Incredibly, the Chicoms are putting so many restrictions
hampering television coverage that IOC officials fear the Beijing Games may not
be broadcast to the world at all. The
whole thing is increasingly likely to be one giant MCF - Mongolian Cluster
Foul-up...
...An even bigger MCF may have caused China's Sichuan
earthquake last month. It's become
known that the earthquake zone was where China had its secret nuclear weapons
research facilities.
What's much less well-known is that a nuclear explosion
occurred at one of these secret underground facilities, either triggering or
triggered by the earthquake...
... The HFR now raises its glass of rice wine to toast cumbay!
to all those poor demented souls in Seoul suffering from Mad Korean Disease... Yet
Mad Obambi Disease is far more dangerous to America than fear of mad cows is to
Korea. To see just how dangerous it would be to our national
security, watch this 52-second anti-military rant Obambi goes on...
... Which is why the HFR hoists a mug of Pabst Blue Ribbon
beer to Tony Rezko in hopes he lives a long life - or at least long enough for
him to turn state's evidence and rat on Obambi.

COMMENCEMENT 2008 |

Tuesday, 10 June 2008 |
[This commencement address was originally published three
years ago. We rerun it annually at
college graduation time. Feel quite free to send this to any recent college
graduate you may know.]
Mr. Chancellor, Members of the Board of Regents, Members of
the Faculty, Honored Graduates, Families and Friends:
It's funny that they call this ceremony a Commencement, for
you've all reached the finish line:
college, goodbye, we're outta here.
Yet of course, "commencement" means a beginning, not an end.
But one is supposed to at least start - commence - a talk
such as this by saying funny things. So
I'll start by talking about Clark Gable movies. If you've heard of Clark Gable at all, you know he was the
biggest movie star in Hollywood a long time ago. His most famous movie was of course Gone With The Wind.
He made a movie in 1955 called The Tall Men with Jane
Russell as his girlfriend and Robert Ryan as the heavy. It's a pretty ordinary Western flick with
outlaws and cowboys and Indians - and at the end, Ryan, the bad guy, and his
henchmen get the drop on Gable, the good guy, and all seems lost. Suddenly, surprise, Gable outfoxes Ryan and
triumphs. Gable makes his exit, and
after he does, Ryan delivers a line that I want you to never forget.
Serendipity is funny, a very funny thing, finding something
where you least expect it. Out of the
blue, out of a movie awash with pedestrian dialogue, comes a line so profound
it detonates inside your brain. Ryan turns to his men and says:

OBAMA THE ZAVUA |

Monday, 09 June 2008 |
The half life of a Barack Hussein Obama campaign pledge is
getting shorter.
Last Wednesday (6/04), Sen. Obama spoke before the American
Israel Public Affairs Committee. Though the group is predominantly
Democrat, Sen. Obama wanted to reassure it, because many AIPAC members know he
has chosen as his foreign policy advisers and spiritual mentors people who have
said unkind things about Israel.
Reassure them he did. "Jerusalem will remain the
capital of Israel, and it must remain undivided," Sen. Obama told AIPAC.
The next day, however, after receiving criticism from,
among others, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, Sen. Obama's
campaign issued a "clarification."
And that is just the start of his hypocrisy regarding Israel.

THE VAPID MESSIAH |

Thursday, 12 June 2008 |
Sen. Barack Hussein Obama celebrated clinching the Democratic nomination
with a speech from the convention center in St. Paul. Future generations,
he told his adoring audience, will look back upon that night and say:
"this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our
planet began to heal..."
Canute the Great (995-1035), the Viking king of England,
Denmark and Norway, is reputed to have waded into the ocean and ordered the
waves to recede. Canute, who was actually a pretty modest guy for a king,
didn't really expect the water to obey. He staged the scene to teach a
lesson about the limits of a king's powers to sycophantic courtiers.
But Sen. Obama apparently wasn't kidding.
It'd be hard enough for a President Obama to bring
peace to the Middle East and carbon free energy independence to the United
States without regulating sea levels too.

Apple announced
Monday June 9th at the World Wide Developer Conference that the new iPhone would be released for sale on
July11th, 2008. While the original iPhone release was slick and had a great
touch interface, it missed the business niche market. The new device should
fill those missing elements nicely. Here is why.
The new phone
has GPS, which is a big plus for the business traveler. It also will provide
metadata to an image captured with its built-in camera to provide your exact
location where the image was taken.
Lets talk 3G. The iPhone with 2.0 software will
cruise nicely on 3G networks which the rest of the world has been doing for a
while. AT&T, the iPhone's exclusive carrier in the US has bumped up their
networks to 3G levels in all major markets. The effect of this is downloading
files, watching UTube videos, and email attachments will now be quicker.

OBAMA FAN |

A teacher in Elmira, New York asked her 5th grade
class how many of them were Obama fans.
Not really knowing what an Obama fan was, but wanting to be liked by the
teacher, all the kids raised their hands.
Except for Johnny.
The teacher asked, "Johnny, why did you
decide to be different from the rest of the class?"
Johnny explained, "Because I'm not an Obama fan."
The teacher asked, "Well, Johnny, why aren't you an Obama
fan?"
Johnny explained, "Because I'm a Republican."
The teacher asked, "Why are you a Republican, Johnny?"
Johnny answered, "Well, my mom's a Republican and my dad's a Republican, so I'm a Republican."
With a smirk that made the class giggle, the teacher asked,
"Johnny, if your mom was a moron and your dad was an idiot, what would that make you?"
A huge smile broke out across Johnny's face.
"That," he happily replied, "would make me an Obama fan!"

THE MCCAIN-HILLARY PACT TO SCREW OBAMA |

Written by Dr. Jack Wheeler

Thursday, 05 June 2008 |
The Democrat Circus continues to be the zaniest show in
town. Obambi exults the nomination is
barely his while Hillary the Loser angrily demands she be his
running-mate.
Angrily demanding something is rarely the most effective
negotiating technique to get what you want.
A smart person will use it only when both the anger and the demand are a
pretense, when you want your demand rejected, not accepted.
Yes, intimidation often works when your opponent is a pussy.
Obambi is indeed a pussy, and voters'
suspicion that he is would only be confirmed if he capitulated to Clinton
intimidation - which is why he has to reject her, even though he knows she
wants to be rejected.
It's not complicated once it's understood what Hillary's
game plan is now - and the pact she's making with John McCain to achieve it. So the plan works like this.

O = ZERO |

Thursday, 05 June 2008 |
To The Point is proud to present its candidate for
Best Bumper Sticker of 2008:
The O-man, Barack Hussein Obama, is an eloquently tailored
empty suit. No résumé, no
accomplishments, no experience, no original ideas, no understanding of how the
economy works, no understanding of how the world works, no balls, 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 a 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: Obambi
is not the descendant of slaves, he is the descendant of slave owners. Thus he makes the perfect Liberal Messiah.
