Saxby is cool like blues from a saxophone

I have to admit that I didn't know Saxby Chambliss terribly well; after all, I've never lived in Georgia although I envy the beautiful greeness of the state.

But Saxby has served our nation well--with an integrity of an honest man--both in the House and in the Senate and has championed ideals that resonate. We need senators like him.

Part of his position has been to help the cause of the "fair tax". While Nacilbupera is not ready to endorse the cause of the fair tax, I certainly feel this is talk in the right direction: freedom from a overbearing personal income tax code that is too confusing and burdensome. We need more conversation as a nation on this subject so that we can reform and improve our tax laws.

What we are ready to do is to endorse Saxby in his runnoff election this Tuesday for another 6-year term as Senator of the great state of Georgia and wish him and his state well.

The gig is on, Steele!

I have no beef with Mike Duncan; he has in my opinion led the Republican National Committee (RNC) in dignity and with passion. His term is due to expire in January.

But time has come for change. We need new faces and a more visible face for our party. I believe the right person to lead our party is Michael S. Steele and am giving him an official NACILBUPERA endorsement.

Michael is a new face in the GOP; he's a "rising star" and is just plain cool. He was the first African-American to hold state-wide position in Maryland and as Lt. Governor became the highest-ranking elected AA Repbulican (Wikipedia).

Michael has been a visible face appearing on a multifarious range of news media including Foxnews, The Tom Joyner Morning Show, Newsbusted, The Washington Times, and Real Time with Bill Maher. He also was one of the speakers during the Repbulican National Convention in August.

Nacilbupera is asking you to join the cause by spreading the word and signing the petition at: www.draftmichaelsteele.com/. At this site you can also watch/listen to videos of some of his speeches. Another speech given at the Voter's Values Summit is available at Youtube.

Has Obama Committed Fraud?

If there is one thing that upsets me most about a politician, it is when he or she is involved in an illegal activity.

I mean, it's one thing for Clinton to have sex with Lewinsky, but another for him to lie under oath about it. Clinton should have been impeached then and would have if it hadn't been for his Democratic buddies in the Senate; that deeply angers me because I view the Presidency as a noble office for noble citizens NOT liars and cheats. I am not purporting to be self-righteous: we are all sinners and make mistakes, but we are also accountable for the wrongs we do.

I have been watching the likes of Jeremiah Wright and self-proclaimed bomber Bill Ayers come out of the woodwork now that their good friend Barack Obama is president-elect; hey, I rather expected that. It is frankly repulsive--for example to listen to Ayers' continued rhetoric that he was "demonized" for doing the right thing at a time when "thousands of our people were being murdered by our government every month." He then applied his "militant" philosophy to our day: "...just as today, I don't think we've done enough to stop these wars." So, would he bomb again today? Or, being older now, would he encourage others to do so? Yet in the end analysis there's no crime committed in Obama having radicals as friends and Obama has condemned Ayers' actions and left Wright.

Obama has committed a crime in the distant past: he admits he did illegal drugs including marijuana and cocaine. Pretty despicable, but at least he was honest about it and appears to have left those days long behind. For that I can forgive him.

There is a update on a very low-simmering story that has finally come to head concerning whether or not Obama registered for the draft as he was legally required to do so. Debbie Schlussel's recent blog on this subject highlights several extreme irregularities.

I am by nature cautious and skeptical of stories from new sources to me personally. I didn't and don't bite the hook on Obama's so-called forged birth certificate. But being an amateur genealogist I have general familiarity with US government documents and am very concerned that this document may likely be forged.

Schluessel's points are well-documented and easy to follow, but I also enjoyed the Breitbart video interview with Schluessel as well.

Briefly, some of the concerns supporting the forgery of the document are that:
(1) Document Locater Number appears to have been number issued this year rather that 1980
(2) The postmark seal appears to have been forged
(3) The document form (either Feb 1990) issue date is ten years after Obama signed it or altered (Feb 1980) in which case no such form exists

Here's the bottom line: if the document is a forgery, then who signed the form, housed in Obama's hometown of Chicago? Did Barack or a surrogate sign it? If so, then Obama is a fraud. If so, Obama has no noble choice but to resign. Nixon did the noble thing and resigned when he committed a crime.

I agree with Schlussel that an independent investigator be appointed. I am tired of electing government officials and either want my faith renewed in my president-elect that my suspicions are wrong and he is not a crook or I want him out of office.

No Crooks For President!

Mission of Nacilbupera

Let me reflect a bit on the mission or purpose of Nacilbupera:

(1) It is to help inform an American audience of some of the political issues dear to my heart in a fair and accurate representation of the truth. This despite feeling capacity to do justice to all the issues needing articulation truncated as I share my life with work, family, God, and other needs and interests.

(2) It is a call to action. We can't just sit behind the "boob tube" watching our favorite comedy or soap opera and presume all is well in America. Even in my very first posting there was a call for action. You, the reader, will be called upon to do things that may take some of your time or resources but if you follow through both you and your country will be for the better.

(3) It is a way to record and document. In this dynamic world we are changing so quickly we are apt to catch a bad case of political amnesia and not hold to accountability those who have done wrong.

More Leaks: What is this, the Titanic???

For the second day in a row (see yesterday's blog entry) entry someone has been leaking confidential information to the press. Today's story of course was over what Bush and Obama talked about in their private meeting.

I apologize in advance if I turn out to be ultimately incorrect, but I am starting to develop a theory as to the author of these leaks. Dick Morris, former Clinton advisor and well versed on Obama's new Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, claimed in this Nov 6th Hannity & Colmes video (note: BEFORE the leaks of the last two days) that Emanuel has a history of being a leaker (watch in particular the first two minutes):



Thus I am postulating that Rahm Emanuel is the source of these leaks and President-elect Obama would do well to (1) find out who is the source of these leaks and (2) if it is Rahm, replace him quickly before something happens to either Obama or our country that is likened to the sinking of the Titanic.

Unfortunately, just as I think Emanuel is the leaker, I also believe that Obama will stand by Emanuel because (1) Obama wants to start the new presidency unencumbered with things that seem to him to be petty such as leaks and (2) Emanuel and Obama's closest ally David Axelrod are described as "best friends".

New York Times article on CIA

In yesterday's late headline, the liberal New York Times published an article detailing joint covert operations of the military and CIA. I am upset about this article.

My first question is why are we publishing this kind of undocumented information or gossip?
If the article is false...then shame on the New York Times for publishing gossip in an attempt to misinform the public!
If the article is true...then why in the world would we want to share with our enemy our secret tactics and strategy? Publishing such an article, if true, serves no one but the terrorists who are at war with us and seek our destruction.

My second question is who leaked this to the New York Times? True or false, those person(s) share liability and accountability for there actions. They are putting our troops in harm's way and potentially limiting the ability of the CIA to gather information we can act upon to protect our country. As a country we have worked diligently since 9/11 to render our CIA more effective at delivering the kind of intelligence that would enable us to respond to terrorism exactly in a manner the article suggests. Thus, these person(s) leaking such a story need to be brought to justice for their inappropriate actions!

I don't think Americans needed the article either: Obama explicitly has stated he would go after bin-Laden if intelligence found Obama was in Pakistan; McCain never disagreed with Obama in principle but that such things shouldn't be aired out in the open and referred to "speaking softly and carrying a big stick."

I am not a partisan: if the persons were of the outgoing Republican party, they must be held accountable. If the persons were of the incoming Democratic party now receiving intelligence briefings, they likewise must be held accountable. A non-partisan investigation must begin.

Hail to the new Commander-in-Chief!

What a marvelous thing we have done, partisanship aside here, that an African-American can be elected President of the United States of America! I was impressed with the dignity in which the leaders of the Republican Party gave respect and homage to Obama's victory and in turn Obama's gracious acceptance speech. These words of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. seem to have been completely fulfilled: '"I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal."'

Yet it seems to me Rev. King had a bigger vision for our country: "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." To me, the vindication of this latter part of the dream comes not on the excitement we share today that an African-American is elected president or tomorrow's dream of an Asian- Indian- or Hispanic-American being elected, but that we see past the color of the skin and it matters not to us what color they are.

Tears of joy are fine for today. It is good to release the pent-up emotion of our forefathers. But today let us begin to further Rev. King's dream by being the first day of beginning to be "color-blind". It is a task that I expect to take many years, perhaps a generation or two, but it ours to take.

Obama and New Party

When I first saw this video about Barack Obama belonging the radical "New Party" I thought Jody Miller was joking: after all, she's pretty hilarious. And, I naively thought to myself 'Haven't I done all my research and found all the radical associations Obama has been a part of?' Apparently I was wrong.

There is a substantial amount of documentation linking Obama to New Party including these two documents from New Party's old website achived by non-partisan Internet Archive:

http://web.archive.org/web/19990202063635/www.newparty.org/up9603.html
“We're also backing Danny Davis in a Congressional race, Barack Obama for state representative, and judicial candidate Patricia Martin.”
http://web.archive.org/web/19980203213956/http:/www.newparty.org/up9610.html
"Illinois: Three NP-members won Democratic primaries last Spring and face off against Republican opponents on election day: Danny Davis (U.S. House), Barack Obama (State Senate) and Patricia Martin (Cook County Judiciary)"

...and this article from the Chicago Democratic Socialists of America demonstrating that Barack's New Party relationship was more than a simple organization that endorsed him, but rather a reciprocal contract:

http://www.chicagodsa.org/ngarchive/ng42.html
About 50 activists attended the Chicago New Party membership meeting in July. The purpose of the meeting was to update members on local activities and to hear appeals for NP support from four potential political candidates. The NP is being very active in organization building and politics. There are 300 members in Chicago. In order to build an organizational and financial base the NP is sponsoring house parties. Locally it has been successful both fiscally and in building a grassroots base. Nationwide it has resulted in 1000 people committed to monthly contributions. The NP's political strategy is to support progressive candidates in elections only if they have a concrete chance to "win". This has resulted in a winning ratio of 77 of 110 elections. Candidates must be approved via a NP political committee. Once approved, candidates must sign a contract with the NP. The contract mandates that they must have a visible and active relationship with the NP.
The political entourage included Alderman Michael Chandler, William Delgado, chief of staff for State Rep Miguel del Valle, and spokespersons for State Sen. Alice Palmer, Sonya Sanchez, chief of staff for State Sen. Jesse Garcia, who is running for State Rep in Garcia's District; and Barack Obama, chief of staff for State Sen. Alice Palmer. Obama is running for Palmer's vacant seat.

...or how about this from the Progressive Populist?

http://www.populist.com/11.96.Edit.html

"New Party member Barack Obama was uncontested for a State Senate seat from Chicago."

Notice how all these sources are solidly left-wing media, not right-wingers trying to substantiate some false association. So why haven't we heard more about this? Well Barack sure hasn't been forthcoming about his past, but the distancing started early on:

http://web.archive.org/web/19991115093609/members.aol.com/NewPartyIL/natnews1.html

"NP member and State Senate candidate Barack Obama won uncontested. Interestingly, it appears that the local Democratic machine is trying to distance itself from our folks. At a "Democratic Unity" march on Chicago's West Side, a flyer invited community members to join with a host of local democratic candidates. The only two west-side Democrats not listed: NP members Danny Davis (U.S. House candidate) and Michael Chandler (Alderman and Ward Committeeman)."

So what did this radical New Party stand for? Well, I encourage you to sample some of their own words. Like most parties, they generalize with statements that seem incontrovertible that all would agree with and some "reading between the lines" is needed but I thought these highlights taken from the links below were worth reading:

http://web.archive.org/web/19990222062425/http://www.newparty.org/about_the_np.html and http://web.archive.org/web/19990128005940/www.newparty.org/npprogram.html

I am serious about this folks, this is the Barack Obama hidden agenda. Look at how it matches exactly with what we've already learned about Obama. I know I am being a bit of a johnny-come-lately but I am trying my best to let you know too before we get "Change" we will regret.
