Due to the Obama victory, including a few more Democratic seats in Congress, there has been a shift of power in our nation to the Left. Since it was you, the liberals, Democrats, middle-roaders, African-Americans, centralists, socialists, Bush Haters, or whatever you care to call yourselves, who voted for this shift of power, you must now all understand a few simple rules. You may not like these rules but with power comes great sacrifice along with a responsibility for your words and actions. Any semblance of this responsibility has been sorely lacking from the liberal Democratic Party for a long, long time. (See Ted 'Want a Ride?' Kennedy, Hanoi John Kerry, Al 'The Tool' Gore, John 'They're Guilty!' Murtha, Barney 'Like My Fannie?' Franks and so on et all.) So now Libbies its time to catch up! Therefore with this new shift to the Left all of you who voted for Obama will have to change your ways. But then, isn't 'Change' what you were all after, after all? So here, with absolutely no apologies to Bill Maher, who for years has been making up 'New Rules' for conservatives, are your New Rules:

1) You can no longer complain about sexism or discrimination towards women.

Ah, ah, ah… there's no use in complaining! Not after that hatchet job you allowed on Gov. Sarah Palin and her family! Let's see, how did that go? Oh yes, Obama, Wright, Ayers and idiotic Biden guffaws were off limits but not the Palin kids. How truly un-American. Palin should have been the Poster Child of any women's feminist organizations, regardless of Party. She should have been an inspiration to all of us, especially the women of this country that she was to so many others who did not vote for Obama. Unlike Hillary who has been carried along on Bill's coattails, Sarah is truly a self-made woman. But then, hey, you didn't vote for Hillary either.

Palin is also one of us, 'the common folk', the only non-millionaire in the entire campaign. She is "The American Success Story." But you not only allowed this character assassination of the most popular Governor in our country, you reveled in it. So no more talk about how terrible sexism is in the workplace and our society. If you voted for smalltime ACORN community organizer/first time/part time Senator Obama because you thought he was qualified to be the President, but felt that city Mayor/Alaskan National Guard CIC/Governor Palin was not qualified to be the VP and your boss pinches your butt, just grin and bare it. You have set women's rights back one hundred years, so now you and your daughters are just going to have to live with it.

2) You can no longer bemoan the loss of the Freedom of Speech or any other violations of your privacy.

Like the hatchet job on Gov. Palin you all sat quietly by and accepted without question or concern Obama's personal media's crucifixion of an average Joe. Joe the Plumber is you and me, guys and gals. If they can do what they did to him for asking a simple question of a candidate, they will also do it to any of us who dares to speak up. Hypocritically you condoned this wanton invasion of Joe's personal life after raising such a big fuss about the Bush administration's screening of international cell phone calls from suspected terrorists after 9-11! Nope it just doesn't work that way. If you decry one then you must condemn the other. You can't pick and choose who gets to do whatever with our Freedoms, so until you understand that you don't get to complain about them anymore. Deal with it.

3) You can no longer claim that you are informed or enlightened.

Since you all seem to get your information, and are content with it, from ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, PBS, MSNBC, or The New York and LA Times you do not understand the meaning of 'unbiased.' In fact you must all strike that word, 'unbiased', from your vocabularies. Go ahead strike it out now, because you have absolutely no concept of what it means to be subjective, balanced or fair minded. From now on if all you want is "Rah, Rah, Go Team Go" go to a high school football game. But if you are serious about getting at the truth watch Fox or do your own research.

Try hitting the books, like Obama's, Ayers'; Cone's or Farrakhan's to find out what your candidate is really like. Tackle Michelle Obama's college thesis, I got it off of the Internet. Not exactly a fun read but it is informative about the mindset of your new first time proud of America First Lady's views of America. Unfortunately you won't be able to find Obama's college thesis, or any other record from his school daze as they are all under lock and key. The free thinkers among us wonder why?

If books are not your idea of fun then watch the many videos to see and hear for yourself what Barry & The Barry Bunch, along with your Democratic Party, has been up to all of these years before Obama came out of nowhere to steal your hearts. However if you are one of the urchins who have elevated the propagandist, hateful slander vomited forth by MSNBC's Maddow, Olbermann and Matthews to the status of humorous, spiritual insight, I'm sorry but no amount of self-education can help you. Fortunately by the low ratings of these three Pravda wannabes those of you who look to them for your disinformation are few and far between.

4) You can no longer question the character of our leaders, or anyone else for that matter.

It has been proven that Obama has maintained various long time associations with antisocial and anti-American individuals and that he has numerously lied to the American people about these associations. Despite this obvious lack of character, by voting for Obama you have proven beyond a doubt that the character of a person means absolutely nothing to your set of values. Just one of these associations with the unrepentant domestic terrorist Ayers or the racist, black segregationist, "God damn America" Wright, would have destroyed any other candidate's chances to become our President. Didn't anyone ever tell you that you could tell who a person is by his friends? Well these two have been Obama's buddies for twenty years, and there were many others like them. But of course you knew that, you just chose to ignore it.

5) You can no longer invoke the names of John and Robert Kennedy. Nor are you ever again allowed to compare Obama to JFK or Martin Luther King. Likewise you can no longer mourn the loss of a policeman who is killed in the line of duty.

Obama's good friend and business partner Weatherman Ayers dedicated his first book by this catchy little title, 'Prairie Fire: The Politics of Revolutionary Anti-Imperialism,' to Sirhan Sirhan, the Muslim radical who murdered Robert Kennedy. No wonder we can't find this gem of knowledge on the airport bookshelves. In 1997 Obama wrote a review for one of Ayers' books and Ayers mentions Obama on page 82 of that book. Ayers' latest book, 'Fugitive Days: A Memoir', published in 2001, was dedicated to a long list of cop killers. The one bright spot in these despicable published dealings is that Ayers hasn't offered up another book since 9-11, otherwise I am sure we would be subjected to his new book's dedication to Osama bin Laden.

In one of JFK's famous speeches he said, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." Try as you all have it is impossible to compare that heroic, selfless philosophy to Obama's "spreading the wealth around" socialist ideology, including all that Obama has promised in his campaign to 'provide' to the masses, i.e. health care and tax cuts/rebates while the masses have to do nothing in return except to vote for Obama. To compare the two is a joke.

Likewise MLK stated, "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." Obviously Obama was not judged "by the content of (his) character," but rather given a pass on that character "by the color of (his) skin." JFK and MLK had it right. Too bad Obama, along with those of you who voted for him, either forgot it or never understood it. Until you do you can't talk about these three men.

6) Because of Obama and his Democratic Party's stance on energy and the environment, you may never again express your displeasure about gas prices.

You, my wayward fellow citizens, have just elected and empowered a President and a Congress who will not be drilling offshore or in Alaska for American owned oil. They are more than willing to allow the American public to remain a hostage to foreign oil interests. You see they get paid a lot of money to insure that status quos.

They also will not be building any new nuclear energy plants nor will they be using our most abundant resource, coal in a viable and helpful capacity. Obama has in fact declared that he and his Congress will bankrupt any fool who would be stupid enough to start a new coal conversion plant. He explained that this would be possible by the 'new' and extensive emission controls that he will set to insure our environment remains intact and to stop the mythical threat of Global Warming*. Present emission standards, excessive federal and state government taxes on gasoline, along with the Democratic backed bans from the 1970's on the construction of any new oil refineries or nuclear plants in our country, plus the bans on drilling offshore or in Alaska are largely responsible for the higher costs of our gas as it now stands.

These same people that you have just voted for scoff at offshore and Alaskan drilling advocates stating that it would take ten years before that oil would come into play. Well folks they had a chance to avert this crisis time and again for over thirty years but used that same lame excuse. I don't know about you but with the good Lord willing I plan to be around ten years from now. If not I know my sons, granddaughter and their neighbors will find some use for that domestic oil, if we started drilling for it today. Because you ignored the Democratic stance on this energy crisis we are insured to have more of them in the future along with a continued dependence upon foreign sources. The Democratic liberals say that they are more concerned about polar bears and caribou, both of which are thriving species, than they are about you and your children. While that should be enough to make you angry, it is still not the truth. The truth is that polar bears and 'take ten years' are just excuses not to use our own oil so that the politicians can maintain the present foreign big money oil cartels who donate a lot of money to keep it that way.

7) Until you all stop believing Obama's, his Democrats' and the liberal biased media's explanations of our financial collapse you are not allowed to discuss, complain or point a finger of blame towards anyone about this financial mess. Here's why:

First, since energy is the number one catalyst in whether our economy is up or down reread New Rule Number 6. As fuel prices go so goes the price of everything else we buy, especially food. When consumer prices are up, unemployment goes up along with it. So no jobs equals no pay resulting in no tax revenue from the workers for the cash hungry D.C. politicos. The politicos desperately need this now missing employees' tax revenue and in being unable to get it from the now unemployed taxpayer they raise the taxes on businesses and consumer products. In turn the businesses that are now paying a higher tax to stay in business also now pass this tax increase onto the consumer by raising the price of their consumer goods or services. The politicos still continue to receive their taxes while the citizens now pay higher prices for everything they need, or simply go without, and end up paying the same taxes in a round about way except they no longer have a job. You will notice that since the politicos are still getting their tax money they really do not care if you are employed or not. At least not until it is time for re-election when they may lose their jobs, then they start talking about putting everybody back to work! This may well be the Democrats plan as they then would have that 40% of Americans who do not pay taxes directly to the government, paying taxes in the round about way of higher taxes on consumer products.

So how do you drive the prices down without going through all of the above? By understanding the simple free enterprise theory of supply and demand. To drive down the price of energy you produce more energy or decrease the demand. We could all stay at home fasting with the lights off while we freeze or fry depending on the time of the season. By the way, that was vaguely suggested by your man Obama when this financial crisis hit and he told America that we must all now "sacrifice." You may already know that behind China the United States is the second highest consumer of oil products in the world. But who is number three in this big wide World? The liberal State of California, which has the highest tax rate per gallon of gas in the country! Cut back our demand, sure.

Now back to reality, to produce more energy you build more coal conversion plants and oil refineries, more nuclear power plants and drill for our own oil in Alaska and offshore thus cutting out the Arabian middlemen. We also must develop new sources of energy. This is your new President's single-minded idea instead of immediately drilling or constructing more nuclear power facilities. Unfortunately as with anything 'new' it takes times to develop, produce, introduce, and then market such developments, which will probably take longer to become viable than the ten years, which it is being falsely assumed to see results from drilling at home.

Secondly just because a Republican was in the White House when Wall Street collapsed doesn't mean it was solely the Republican Party's fault for this mess. While no politician in the last fifty years is without blame for what has become of us, this economic crisis was impregnated during the Clinton administrations and then nourished throughout the Bush years by a legion of Democrats who all filled their pockets while collecting votes from their minority constituents. As a way to supply low-income families with housing, the Democratic Party created Fannie and Freddie. Democrats were the leaders in receiving donations from these institutions of future financial doom including your man Obama at the number two spot. Prior to the collapse Democrat after Democrat took the stand during Congressional hearings to testify that there was absolutely nothing wrong with the business dealings of Fannie and Freddie. However, as early as 2005 it was John McCain who warned us all about the potential of a financial crisis due to these two government born and Democratic backed corporations.

As for Wall Street, the top twenty-one Wall Street corporations donated by a large margin more money to the Democratic Party then to the Republicans. So much for Obama's boast of forsaking Wall Street so he and the Democrats could look out for little old you on Main Street. It comes down to simple math. Little old you may donate twenty-five, two hundred or even a thousand dollars to Obama or his Democrats, but the Wall Street Top 21 Corporations will give them hundreds of thousands of dollars. Get it? The only time politicians look out for little old you are at election time when they want your votes, or when the you-know-what hits the fan and everybody is screaming. Even then it is more to the point that they are covering their own posteriors than any real concern for you.

As for the bailout, if you will remember, it was your Democratic controlled Congress who secretly rushed through the first bailout package and announced it was a 'done deal' without consulting most of the Republican minority who then killed it. How can any of you possibly forget that picture of Bush surrounded with Reid on his left and Pelosi on his right? The man had to feel as if he was at the Alamo. His only consolation was that Pelosi had to be feeling extremely ill in finding herself situated so far to the right of the President. It was only after some of the pork was unloaded from the bailout that the bailout was finally passed days later. Once again most of this unneeded pork belonged to your Democratic lawmakers. Yet you believed the Obama campaign and the liberal media who laid the entire blame on Bush, McCain and the Republicans for the economic collapse and the bailout. After the decisions have already been made based on such false assumptions sometimes the truth can be so ironic.

8) You may no longer feign anger or indignation at political corruption or lies made by a politician because you have ignored or excused too much of both in your Obama.

At the beginning of this race between your chosen one and McCain they both agreed to run their campaigns using government campaign funding rather than using private donations. This government funding of our Presidential campaigns was set in place, in part by McCain himself, to elevate the campaign for our honored Presidency above suspicion by eliminating corruption in campaign funding, indebtedness to special interests, eliminating illegal foreign donations and to even the playing field. It was a gentlemen's agreement wherein up to the last minute when Obama broke this pact only the Officer and the Gentleman McCain kept his word. It has to make you wonder just how good Obama's word is when he gives it? Just keep checking that mailbox for your tax cut/rebate checks. That should keep you all busy for the next four years.

Now unencumbered by this gentlemen's agreement Obama set monthly records in campaign donation funding until ultimately collecting over $650,000,000.00. Much of this comes from anonymous Internet donations. Some has been traced to illegal foreign donors. While running a campaign that promised 'Change' from the old politics of Washington, Obama dishonored his word to put into place this new government campaign funding and instead gorged himself with the same old, tired money grabbing politics of the world's oldest profession. Obama repeatedly stated that his administration would not be held accountable to special interests yet he took millions from these special interest groups. He wanted you all to believe that in our current financial crisis Mom and Pop America was sending him all of this money in donations of twenty-five dollars to two hundred and fifty dollars! And apparently you all believed him! Just how gullible are you Obamaites anyway?

In the corrupt, gangster style tradition of the Chicago/Mayor Daly political machine, in which Obama was tutored he sold you all out for the money. The bulk of these donations came in the largest sums allowable by law but were illegally made by the same groups or persons. No one donates this much money without expecting something in return. For the American voters to ignore this flood of money to a political candidate and not even pause to ask why it is coming in so fast and in such abundance is obscene and naive. For the American media to ignore it is unconscionable. It was just another pass given to Obama and incredulously through it all McCain was the one who was criticized for using taxpayer funding from the government for his campaign. Again, how ironic.

The most sacred gift that our Founding Fathers bestowed upon us is our right to vote. With that vote we as a people determine our future and insure our freedoms and our rights. That is why voter fraud is such a vile crime. In every election there seems to be some talk and concern of voter fraud, but what went on this year is an anomaly. Just two days before the election it was reported that over 200,000 felons were illegally registered to vote but that there would not be enough time to sort out who these felons were to prevent them form voting. In Ohio a judge ruled that the homeless could use a park bench as their address in order to vote. Only twenty-four states require a photo ID, but in seven of those states this ID is only expected to be shown if it is requested to be seen by a voting official.

Then of course this year we had the far too numerous investigations of voter registration fraud by ACORN. Granted voter registration fraud does not immediately prove voter fraud or that someone who has registered more then once has voted more then once. But then what is the point of going to all that trouble of registering the same person repeatedly, registering using fictitious names or using the names of the deceased if you do not intend to use that registration to cast an illegal vote? Furthermore it is sardonic that most of us had never even heard of ACORN before this election just like we had never heard of Obama, the same guy who used to be a community organizer for ACORN. Think I'm making too much of this coincidence? Well I have learned that usually where there is smoke there is fire. In this election there has been an abundance of smoke blown our way and both Obama's campaign donations and ACORN's voter registration fraud looks like three alarmers.

If this country had the same watchdog media that had existed during the Nixon administration, Obama would be out on his ear for campaign corruption and fraud within his first two years in office. But in the atmosphere of today's political correctness and biased liberal press, while there will be an investigation finding wrong doing in Obama's campaign funding and ACORN's fraudulent dealings, nothing will be done.

It is a given that all politicians lie, whether it is by choice or necessity. Most of us expect a candidate to lie about their campaign promises. After all they are just promises. Many of us understand that at times a politician may have to be misleading due to a delicate matter or for national security. But in the past what voters would not abide was a candidate who lied about who he was or his personal behavior. Well folks, with Obama that lack of tolerance towards a candidate's lies concerning their moral character certainly went into the toilet in this election, and man did Obama ever take advantage of it. The most troubling aspect about your willingness to forget and forgive Obama's lies enough to make him your next President is the plain simple fact that he just may be the most prolific liar we have ever seen enter the White House! He has lied so much, so often on so many different aspects of his life that they are just too numerous to list here. So here is a link, with documentation, that lists his false statements. I will advise you to get comfortable before going there as in reading this, while interesting, it will take a while.
