Have you heard about “Poetry Night” at the White House?  I find it appalling and very inappropriate (yet not at all that surprising) that the Obamas have invited “Common”, a rapper who grew up in the pews of America-hating “Reverend” Wright’s church, who he describes as an “intelligent, strong individual…a great man…a conduit of love.”   He denigrates women with his misogynistic lyrics, promotes killing cops, and burning (President) Bush. Isn’t that special?  His lyrics have been praised by a Fox News reporter as being “very positive.”  Are you kidding me?

Hi Caliber

This is just another tactic this administration is using to convince young Americans that Barrack Obama is just that “cool” and that these are the kinds of artists your kids should be listening to.

Please.

In the New York Times Bestseller Obama Zombies:  How the Liberal Machine Brainwashed My Generation, author Jason Mattera describes how liberals successfully launched their highly successful technology-based campaign to take advantage of and brain-wash his generation into becoming “zombies” for Team Obama.  They used every facet of new media to reach our youth through their computers, iPods, and cell phones via new media venues and services like Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and text messaging and “rocked the vote” in favor of “That One.”

Thankfully, we conservative keyboard warriors are fighting back with those very same tactics to reach our young voters using every weapon in our arsenal (e.g., conservative websites, blogs, video rants, music, books, artwork, and the list goes on).   In less than two years (since the 2008 elections), through the effective use of  new media, the TEA Party movement managed to rise up and put a major hurtin’ on the Democrats in the House and Senate in the mid-term elections.  It was interesting to note that younger voters seemed less than enthusiastic about voting in 2010.  Perhaps voter’s remorse is setting in?

Good.

Make no mistake, we have our work cut out for us and it is up to us to reverse the damage done by the left to our kids.  We need to keep hammering away at them with the truth, we need to speak their language, and present the conservative message in ways they are more apt to take notice.  One way is through the music they listen to.

Allow me to introduce Hi Caliber.

Hi-Caliber, one of our fine culture warriors at BigDawg Music Mafia, is a conservative hip-hop artist, a proud TEA Party member, and political talk radio guru.  His mission is to battle the left-wing media with a tool rarely used by his fellow right-wingers.  That tool is hip-hop.  Hi Cal states:

The goal is to show our youth that being patriotic is “cool” and that not all conservatives are rich, racist, hatemongers as some would have them believe.

After a political and spiritual awakening in 2001, Hi Cal discovered conservative talk radio and accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior.  It was shortly after that he decided to combine his life-long passion for hip hop with his new-found passion for politics.  His first “buzz” came during the 2008 election when he recorded a song called Use Your Brain which gained multiple spins on the Imus in the Morning show.

Hi-Cal  had heard a lot about the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in 2009 and decided he needed to be there. With absolutely zero contacts or connections, a backpack loaded with copies of his first CD Mr. Conservative, and $30 to his name, he showed up in an old beat-up Buick carrying a sign that said “Support Conservative Music”.   He was approached by liberal blogger, Max Blumenthal, who was looking to depict him as a nut job.  Hi Cal “spit” a couple rhymes on camera which later showed up on the Daily Beast and Breitbart.tv.

“Yeah, we water-boarded Khalid Sheikh Mohammed,” Bush said of the terrorist behind 9/11. “I’d do it again to save lives.”

Now, whether you agree with him or not, and whether you hate his guts or not – you gotta like that. No heavy lifting in that vocab: simple, straightforward, and honest. I miss that.

I mean, would you ever hear Obama say, “Yeah, we lied about the cost of health care, but I’d do it again, because I think it’s worth it.”

Or, “Yeah, I trashed the immigration bill in Arizona without reading it, but so what – I think it sucks. You should too.”

How about: “Sure, I threw Reverend Wright under the bus. Wouldn’t you?”

Or, “Okay, I smoke. So what. I’m President, you’re a low-level media hack with a potbelly and a wife who not-so-secretly wishes she was banging me. So there. You gotta light?”

See, I’d like to hear that. But I won’t. Instead, in the White House, we get Sir Paul McCartney – the least talented member of the Monkees – cracking wise about a President who saved millions of lives in Africa.

Here’s his joke:

“After the last eight years, it’s great to have a President who knows what a library is.”

Haha. Now if you remember, it was Sir Paul who said a fish’s life is the same as a human’s. Thankfully for Africa, Bush felt differently.

But Sir Paul feels Obama is doing a great job, because he’s well liked. He’s right: people who were scared of us once, aren’t so scared of us anymore. We traded in our stick for a back scratcher.

But look: I’d rather be hated in a safer world, than loved in a dangerous one. Perhaps Obama should call Bush for some advice, before he makes Carter look like Reagan by comparison.

And if you disagree with me, you’re Pete Best.  

Tonight: the legendary Glenn Danzig! comedian Jesse Joyce! the delightful Diana Falzone! FBN’s Chris Cotter!

This country may now have the same reprieve.  We elected the most liberal senator in Congress as President, a man of no economic, military, or practical accomplishment who promised to “fundamentally transform America.” Observant citizens, alas too few, knew Obama would try to impose a radical leftist agenda on the nation against the wishes of its central right majority.

But even those who ignored his record; attentiveness to racist Reverend Wright, association with terrorist Bill Ayers, voting down the Induced Infant Liability Act to protect babies who survive late-term abortions, supporting a filibuster against Judge Alito’s Supreme Court bid, and many other hints; could hardly imagine his progressive onslaught on this nation.

It has brought, so far, a $787-billion “stimulus” package with no private business incentives, government ownership of a US car dealer, a job-killing “cap and trade” bill that punishes manufacturers by taxing carbon dioxide (which humans exhale and plants photosynthesize), more than 30 taxpayer-funded extra-Constitutional czars, a citizen-on-citizen “snitch” website, support for a Hugo Chavez-wannabe in Honduras against that nation’s Constitution-heeding democratic government, silence in the face of a brutal Iranian regime massacring its freedom-hungry citizens, Justice Department investigations of anti-terrorist interrogators previously cleared by the Justice Department, and, the piece de resistance, a $1.6-trillion-plus government takeover of health care that Obama tried and failed to ram through Congress last July.

Had Obama been less arrogant, less hostile to grassroots opposition, less mendacious in his endless staged and stacked appearances, he would be a lot farther along in his desired radicalization of the country.  Had he begun his term with the health care Trojan Horse instead of a disastrous pork-laden “stimulus” scam, there would be no stopping him now.  Luckily, his ideological contempt for traditional Americans; the “clinging to their God and guns” crowd that now confounds him at every turn; will be his undoing. Approval of the President and his programs has sunk to record lows.

It wasn’t supposed to go this way.  Obama has the rich and powerful in his pocket: insurance companies, corporations (like GE), pressure groups (AARP, AMA, ACORN), unions, and all media save one non-fawning cable news network and an archaic AM radio band.  The once handy Republicans he demonizes as obstructionists are today more like ancient Christians cowering in the catacombs, unable to thwart a single extremist bill, judge, or czar.  They don’t make straw men like they used to.

No, it is the American people who have thrown a monkey wrench in the Obamachine.  They stand there in the thousands, unnerving elitist politicians with their passionate criticisms.  They convey to squirming Senators, Congresspersons, and Cabinet officials God’s commandment to Isaiah.  “This shall not stand and this shall not be!”

Obama’s political and media lackeys fire back with cliched venom, branding grandmothers, veterans, housewives and other concerned citizens as rabid racist “teabagging” swastika-carrying Astroturf organized peons.  Who are they to question the chosen one’s plans?   But they are just ordinary Americans who have drawn a line in the sand to defend their individual liberties.  Obama might have crossed that line with feigned humility.  He just didn’t have it in him.

We are protected by the enormity of our stupidity.  But unlike President Obama, we will soon correct our folly.
