Stossel uses the title of F.A. Hayek’s classic text on the economics and the state as a jumping off point for some much needed Libertarian criticism of the Democrats clamoring for “action” on the economy by their new dear leader:

It’s exciting that the world is so excited about Barack Obama. I’m excited, too. That he achieved the presidency says something good about America.

But the excitement also frightens me. It reinforces the worst impulse of the media and political class: the assumption that all progress comes from Washington. In a free society, with constitutionally limited government, the president would be a mere executive who sees to it that predictable and understandable laws are enforced. But sadly, the prestige and power of the presidency have grown, and liberty has contracted. That is not something to celebrate.

Read the rest, it’s well worth your time to see the level headed Libertarianism of Stossel making the points about an Obama administration the Alex Jones Libertarians miss in their zeal to claim Obama is the anti-Christ. Stossel is on the mark in his critique of the cultural shift Obama represents slowly eroding our sense of individual worth and responsibility.

Or in the words of the late great Brian Pillman, you’re all marks.

The website How Obama Got Elected interviewed Obama voters on election day and proved beyond a shadow of a doubt these people were herded like sheep by the Left and their allies in the MSM:

I’m going out to buy some ammo before this cult starts sacrificing people. Glen Beck was already threatened with death by an Obamunist, so I’m sure a general pogrom against Republicans is coming in the next two years.

A shocker I know. And it came as quite a surprise to law enforcement in St. Tammany parish when a woman from Oklahoma who sought to join a Bogalusa based Klan cell got dragged to a deserted island for several days of “initiation rituals” which freaked her out so much she demanded to go home. Instead lead degenerate Raymond Foster shot the unidentified woman with a .40 caliber pistol then he and his fellow cult members burned her stuff and tried to cover up their crime.

From NOLA.com (who have pictures of the Klanners):

A Tulsa, Okla., woman who traveled to Louisiana to join the Ku Klux Klan was shot to death by the leader of the group’s Bogalusa chapter Sunday after she tried to back out of initiation rites at a remote, sandbar camp in northeastern St. Tammany Parish, authorities said Tuesday.

An investigation Monday resulted in the arrests of eight members of the Klan branch, which had flown under the radar of officials in St. Tammany and Washington parishes, investigators said. The suspects, all from the Bogalusa area, include Raymond “Chuck” Foster, who has been booked with murder in the shooting of the unidentified woman.

“It’s a situation that almost defies logic, ” St. Tammany Sheriff Jack Strain said Tuesday. “When you think you’ve seen it all, something like this occurs.”

The woman apparently learned about Foster’s group, the Sons of Dixie, through the Internet and applied so she could recruit others in Oklahoma, Strain said. Investigators have recovered the woman’s application to join the Klan and noted that she had requested that the organization waive its typical membership fee.

The woman came to Louisiana by bus on Friday to begin her initiation into the group, Strain said. After several rites, including a head-shaving, she was taken to a camp on a sandbar, accessible only by boat, in the Pearl River Canal near Sun.

The initiation continued at the campsite, with rituals that consisted mainly of lighting torches and “running around in the woods, ” Strain said.

Sure that’s what they were doing. Running around the woods so freaked out this woman that she demanded to leave which so offended the rest of them that they killed her. Makes perfect sense, once you replace the words “running around in the woods” with “meth fueled blood orgy” that is. The story gets worse though:

Foster immediately moved to cover up the crime, Strain said. He quickly flipped the woman’s body over and tried to dig out the bullet with a knife before ordering his followers to destroy evidence, Strain said.

“That shows you the callousness of this individual, ” the sheriff said.

During the night, Klan members set fire to the woman’s belongings as well as the campsite and dumped her body near Lock No. 3 Road, about a half-mile from the shooting site, Strain said.

But it was the group’s effort to cover up the shooting that eventually put investigators on their trail.

Foster’s son, Shane Foster, and Frank Stafford showed up at the Circle K store on Louisiana 21 in Bogalusa early Monday morning and asked the clerk how they could remove bloodstains from their clothes, said Lt. Tom Anderson of the Washington Parish Sheriff’s Office. The clerk, who recognized the men, later called the Sheriff’s Office, and the men were soon found, Anderson said.

Alerted to the situation, St. Tammany Parish deputies then converged on the campsite while the remaining six Klan members fled. Deputies found the woman’s body and caught five of the suspects in the woods, Strain said. Foster turned himself in after being contacted by police, Strain said.

At the campsite, investigators found weapons, several flags, five white Klan uniforms and one black imperial wizard uniform. The uniforms are festooned with patches, including one that reads, “Kill ‘em all and let God sort ‘em out, ” and a pin shaped liked a noose.

“I can’t imagine anyone feeling endangered or at risk from these kooks, ” Strain said. “This Sheriff’s Office will not allow it. We’re not going to tolerate this in St. Tammany.”

Yeah well you dropped the ball on that one Sheriff. While the “Sons of Dixie” were flying under the radar of local law enforcement, other local racist kooks were complaining that the Klan in Louisiana, led by seditious traitor David Duke, were busy forming an alliance with Arab Muslims based around their hatred for Jews and “Bush’s wars.” This is a wide spread phenomenon I’ve blogged about before.

The Klan is a cult, pure and simple. I’ve little sympathy for a person who tries to join a dangerous anti-American cult and ends up getting killed by her fellow traitors. The death of this woman though should illustrate to the world just how depraved Klansmen are, and why I keep several guns in my house.

Update: Shadowscope has the Klanners MySpaces and the identity of the victim.

Some guy was wearing his McCain t-shirt in Philly after Obama won. The cops arrested him for something as a crowd of Obama supporters chanted the name of their new god.

If this doesn’t scare you you are in deep denial:

On the cusp of the historic election of Barack Obama Black Americans had good reason to celebrate. A few hours later anyone of African descent was cringing at the spectacle of Obama’s home town constituents exposing the world to the very worst of our community:

At least five people were arrested across the city after Barack Obama’s rally in Grant Park, including a woman who slapped a Chicago police officer, saying police couldn’t arrest her anymore, prosecutors said today.

Most of the others celebrated the historic occasion with gunfire.

Celita Hart, 19, stood silently in court today when she appeared for a bond hearing.

Prosecutors said Hart, who is black, yelled ” ‘White [expletive], [expletive] McCain–you white police can’t do nothing anymore.’” With that, she reached through the window of a squad car and slapped a white male officer in the face, according to Assistant State’s Atty. Lorraine Scaduto.

The incident occurred after police responded to a crowd of people celebrating Obama’s win on the corner of 69th Street and Western Avenue. Hart, of the 7100 block of South Rockwell Street, was charged with aggravated battery of a police officer and was ordered her held in lieu of $10,000 bail.

Others who appeared before Circuit Judge Israel Desierto included Andre Murph, 37, of Aurora, who was arrested after police saw him shooting a handgun into the ground on the Southwest Side.

Scaduto said he told the officers he was “shooting to celebrate Obama as president.”

Narada Thomas, 23, of the 1200 North Central Avenue, allegedly gave a similar explanation after he was arrested with a handgun near his home. “He said he had the gun because he wanted to celebrate Obama becoming the first black president,” Scaduto said.

Kenneth Smith, 24, of the 6700 block of South Ada Street, was arrested after he allegedly fired a handgun outside his home. Smith, who is on parole for a previous weapons conviction, told authorities that “the police only arrested him because a black man won for president,” Scaduto said.

Thanks for making us look good. I’m sure Obama is proud of you today.
