Speaking of Bulverism…

I’m not sure what inspired Professor Dembski to quote C.S. Lewis on Bulverism at this particular point in time but the recent and somewhat unexpected rise of Barack Hussein Obama over Hillary Rodham Clinton in the democratic primaries might have been it. I predict that whatever legitimate criticism is leveled at him the Bulverians will be out in great number rejoining with “You’re only saying that because he’s black.” Mark my words. That is going to become a household phrase before November. My support, of course, will be for John McCain. I preferred McCain over Bush in 2004 and nothing has changed. I hope to see him team up with Mike Huckabee as VP. I don’t envy them the task of dealing with the inevitable Bulverism they’ll encounter if Barack Hussein Obama gets the nod from the democratic party. Hillary Rodham Clinton would be a lot easier to defeat IMO with her sordid past and no race card she can pull in her defense. Heck, her and Bill are already being Bulverized. Quite successfully too.

Flash Update on the level of success: Hillary Clinton effectively conceded according to the Drudge Report. Can I get a “Praise Allah” on that? The next occupant of the whitehouse is either going to be John McCain or Barack Hussein. I heard a rumor on the Bill Maher show last night that McCain might team up with Condoleezza Rice for VP. That’s solid gold genius. I should’ve seen it coming. The cognitive dissonance in the Bulverists will be so thick in the airwaves you’ll be able to cut it with a knife. Anyone know what Condoleeza’s middle name is? Anyone? Bueller? Anyone?

Leo Only the weak-kneed spend any time pondering what the terrorists think. Pfft. What kind of moron would ignore what the killers of 3,000 innocent Americans are planning next or what would embolden them to try it again? I'm a former U.S. Marine Sergeant. Rest assured that someone has to think about these things and it has to do with protecting your dumb civilian ass not being "weak-kneed". Even Hillary, for all her faults, knows that much and I suspect she'd be just as willing to wield, with the same bold president/commander-in-chief of the world's most powerful military machine, power that George W. Bush employs as he and he alone sees fit. Actually the least appealing thing about McCain is I think he's too willing to pull punches and Hillary would make the best military leader. She's cold, ruthless, conniving, and loves power. Perfect attributes for a commander-in-chief. McCain is more of a woman than Hillary. Ann Coulter agrees with that too and even said she'd campaign for Hillary before voting for McCain. It's one of the rare times I can't quite agree with Coulter but I see her point.

Dave, you might be interested in an editorial that appeared in the local paper today by a rabbi about Obama. "http://www.lohud.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080208/OPINION/802080340/1076/OPINION01" One issue is that he is the son of a heretic and it is not sure how such a person would be received by the Muslim world.jerry_{February 8, 2008

bFast and Atom Don't shoot the messenger, guys. I didn't draw any inferences for you. I'm just giving you some information. You make your own inferences. You have my motives wrong in any case. What worries me is how it would be perceived by Muslim terrorists if the next president of the United States has a common Muslim name. The naive left probably thinks it will encourage them into thinking the U.S. has changed for the better. No chance of that. It'll be interpreted as a sign of weakness. A knuckling under. Capitulation. That only makes them think they're on the right track towards winning and they'll pour on heat. They don't want capitulation. They want unconditional surrender and nothing short of it. Global rule under shariah law. The only response they respect is the sword, not an olive branch. We need to make them believe that taking over Afghanistan and Iraq was just a love tap compared to what we'll do if they terrorize our shores again. We need to make them believe we have the will and the means to crush them like a grape if further provoked. Adding Barack Hussein Obama to the distinguished list of names of U.S. presidents is not sending the message I want sent. It would be helpful if Barack Hussein Obama changed his name to something like Barack Matthew Obama, Barack David Obama, Barack Jacob Obama, Barack Christopher Obama, or something like that to assure Americans and militant Muslims alike he's no he's no appeaser. Given his background of attending a Muslim school in the middle east this is no joking matter. I'm not accusing the guy of being part of a sleeper cell or anything but it's still an issue. I couldn't possibly care less what color he is. He's actually half white so I think the whole black thing is both innaccurate and nothing more than a deliberate ploy to get the black vote.

My guess is that if he had left the middle name out, you would have accused him of Islamophobia.
lol. But nah, we probably would just assume he was using his name like everyone else. (I have only heard two people refer to him as "Barak Hussein Obama", DS being the second.)Atom_{February 8, 2008

Leo I stand corrected re Hillary. She appears to change her name for political expediency. Is there anything she doesn't do for political expediency? I really, really wish it was her getting the nod instead of Barack Hussein Obama.DaveScot_{February 8, 2008

C’Mon, Dave. The cool thing about Barrack Obama is that his middle name is Hussein. The name Hussein has taken a bad rap lately in light of a certain Sadam Hussein — the second greatest villan in American recent history. Further, the name Hussein implies a connection to the Muslim world. This is very smart subliminal propoganda on your part — but hardly an analysis of the character, abilities, or political persuasion of the man. Like Mr. Obama or not, it is prejudicing, plain and simple.

Actually, what is taking place at the moment is intramural Bulverism. The press is pushing Obama because the perception among the elitists is that a well-spoken black man has a better chance of beating McCain than a controversial woman with a lot of baggage. So, for the moment, they are Bulverising Hillary and giving Obama a pass. During the general election, they will Bulverize McCain and give either Obama or Hillary a reasonably easy time---unless one of them does something so stupid that the story takes on a life of its own. If its Obama, you bet they will accuse his critics of racism. If its Hillary, they will play the sexism card. When it reaches this stage, you will hear nothing about the "Hillary cackle." Everything will be about McCain's temperment.StephenB_{February 8, 2008

Thanks Dave, I didn't know the legal issues on her name change...I just thought I'd heard people refer to her as "Hillary Rodham."Atom_{February 8, 2008

Atom From Wikipedia
Maiden name as middle name Often a recently-married woman accepts her husband's last name, but also changes her middle name to her maiden name.
The answer is no. Hillary's maiden name was Hillary Diane Rodham. By common convention after marriage she dropped her given middle name and adopted her maiden last name as her new middle name. As wikipedia notes it's become somewhat of a legal hassle to do that. My wife dropped her maiden surname, replaced it with my surname, and kept her given middle name. There doesn't appear to be any convoluted legal issues with that. When looking for Hillary's given middle name I happened across a note that she dropped "Rodham" when she began campaigning for president. I don't know what she goes by now as I never heard "Diane" before. Maybe her middle name is NMN which is a legal abbreviation for No Middle Name. There's no law that says you have to have a middle name. Or even a pronouncable name if we're to believe the singer formerly known as Prince. :lol:DaveScot_{February 8, 2008

Drat, Of course there's a reason. I'm using his full name because he's black. I see using Hillary's middle name too didn't fool you any. By the way, tard spelled backward isn't fooling me any either. Hasta la vista, baby! DaveScot_{February 8, 2008
