Video: D-Day for Gun Owners

I think this video is very important to those who cherish the second amendment.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ypt4wl4Cac&hd=1

This group that made this video has a letter to Hillary Clinton, and it reads:

Dear Hillary Clinton,

The Second Amendment clearly states, “The right of the people to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED!”

And as much as you and your fellow anti-gun globalists hate it, the American people will NEVER submit to global gun control!

I hereby pledge to fight against your subversive scheme and uphold and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

…and by the way, The NRA confirms the fact that this does exist.

UPDATED BIG TIME!: Video: Former Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm’s DNC Speech

Drudge called this a “meltdown” and AllahPundit mocked it.

The Video:

Okay, first off, it is quite obvious that she was trying a wee bit too hard. However, I disagree with both of these opinions. What you were possibly seeing here, is a dress rehearsal for 2016. I mean,  Jennifer Granholm is still young, she still has mass appeal; well, everywhere, but here in Michigan, of course. She could have very well been testing the waters for a run in 2016. She did rev up the crowd. (Sorry.)

The problem is, the Lady has baggage. Her tenure here as a Governor was an utter disaster. She just did not know how to Govern the State of Michigan, and she also did not know how to deal with the Republicans.  However, seeing how low the bar has been set in the Democratic Party; she could make a good candidate in 2016. By then, most people will have forgotten her negatives and will only remember her positives.

Heck, if Obama loses and Romney is the winner and his plans for America fail, the Democrats do have someone to go to. I mean, I am being sarcastic; but the Democrats have done this before — I mean, run an unelectable candidate. (Remember John Kerry?)  Again, it is setting the bar quite low. However, I would not rule it out.

Just my thoughts.

UPDATE: D’oh!

I totally forgot. Granholm is from Canada, as in being born there. She can never be President. I confess, I totally forgot about that, when I wrote this. Oops! 😳 Nonetheless, it is a rather funny video.

 

My Thoughts on President Obama’s DNC Speech

I figure if I am going to be up at oddball hours like this, the least I could do is put some new content on the blog. So, I will. 😀

I did finally watch the President’s DNC closing speech. I will not be embedding it here, for obvious reasons; but I did want to comment on it. I watched half of the speech on my iPod touch, and because the battery was going dead, the other half on the laptop here.

Now, I am not going to pull a hyper-partisan and just dismiss the speech. What I will tell you, is the truth about how I really feel about it. The speech, like all of the President’s speeches was well done. It was very much scripted and loaded with applause lines. Which is, for what it is truth worth, boilerplate normal for convention speeches.  There was a fair amount of boilerplate Democratic Party rhetoric in the speech. The President seemed to hit all of the right points that the Democratic Party left likes to hear.

Now obviously there were points made in the speech that I, as a Constitutional Conservative, disagree with; but because I do not wish to repeat myself. I will not bother with sitting here and going over what it is that I truly believe in. All I can truly say is, read this blog and search its archives and you will know what it is that I truly believe.

One of things that I will say about the President’s mentioning of the Military. It seemed that he was pandering a bit to that crowd. He did crow on about how he respected the Military and would work to protect our Military. But, glaringly and quite obviously missing was the promise to close Gitmo, which is something that he promised to do, the last time Obama ran for President. I am almost certain that most of the people in that audience were mindful of that fact.  The excuse by the Democratic Party establishment is that it was unfeasible, or that the political pressure was too strong from the other side. It is my opinion that real leaders tell the other side to get bent and does what one has to do. Real leaders tell others, “this is what I am going to do” and do it. Real leaders do not kowtow down to anybody.

As for the rest of the speech, it was filled with lots of optimism, and it was not nearly as negative towards Romney, other than the usual boilerplate political rhetoric, that I thought it would be; and I must admit I found that to be quite surprising.

Now back to a point that I made earlier: Rhetoric. There was much rhetoric in this speech; however, it is the opinion of this writer that the rhetoric of this President in his speeches, does not match the performance of his Administration.  The man gives good speeches, I cannot deny that, but his performance as a President, to this unemployed person of eight years; is just not there. The Country is in 16 trillion and counting in debt and what do we have to show for it? Nothing. I am still unemployed and so are many people that I know here in the Detroit area, some as close, as in my own neighborhood here.

Another thing that I will mention is this; the President in his speech said that he did not have all of the answers. Well, that is one point that I will not argue; in fact, I will say that the answers that the President has given in the last 3 1/2 years are ones that have not worked and has put this Nation into some horrible debt and has not created any real jobs to speak of around these parts. Furthermore, the President’s answers have caused American to lose its standing in the world and caused its credit rating to be reduced, which is something I never thought I would ever see in my lifetime.

Which is why I intend to vote, in this election for Mitt Romney. Because American can do better than scripted speeches, class and race warfare, spending boondoggles and mountains of debt. I believe that we can do better than telling the Nation of Israel to basically go to hell and basically removing God from a political platform, only to put it back under pressure. I believe that we can do better than an eight percent unemployment rate, which is actually higher, if you figure in the people that have left the workforce, due to not being able to find a job. (You know, like me?)  Which is higher, if you figure in the underemployed and part time people, who cannot find full-time work. I also believe that we can do better than a healthcare bill that was rammed down the throat of the American people and does not do a damned thing for people like me, who do not have jobs at all. I believe that we need to get healthcare costs down and insurance costs down, but not with an idiotic bill such as this; we can do better.

We can do better, I have seen when we as a Nation have done better and I choose to do better. Which is why I reject this speech from the President as another attempt to deceive the American people into voting for another four years of failed leadership and pledge on this blog to cast my lot for who I hope is the next President of the United States — Mitt Romney.

 

Videos: Republicans tell the truth about Obama, Democrats hurl death threats

This is mildly interesting to say the least.

Mitt Romney has released a new Ad (H/T HotAir.com)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-21wrrmpxzE&hd=1

John Sununu also speaks the truth:


Meanwhile this is what is coming from the delegates at the DNC’s convention:

Via the Blaze:

The Story quote:

During the second day of the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, TheBlaze took to Time Warner Cable Arena to speak with delegates about the most pressing issues of our time. Most of those interviewed were good sports, answering questions about the trajectory of the country under Obama, the Affordable Care Act and even Socialism.

One of our conversations took an unexpected turn, however, when we asked New York delegate Julia Rodriguez about her views on the direction of the country. Rodriguez promptly shouted that she would, in fact, like to “kill” Mitt Romney.

Yes, I know she is a little old lady, but that does not excuse what she said. According to LifeNews the Secret Service is investigating:

UPDATE: The Secret Service is reportedly looking into the threat from the DNC delegate, according to the Daily Caller.

A spokesman for the Secret Service told The Daily Caller that the agency is aware of video showing a delegate at the Democratic National Convention expressing a desire to “kill” Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney.

“We are aware of it,” Secret Service spokesman George Ogilvie told TheDC on Thursday.

He said the department is “taking the appropriate follow-up steps” with the woman.

So much for all that so-called “New Tone” that we heard about during the election eh? I mean, this is just unbelievable. So, the next time some idiot liberal Democrat decides that he is going to lecture you on civility; show them this and kindly tell them to piss off. I mean, this is what the liberals do, they talk civility out of one side of their mouths and out of the other, they do stuff like this. It is a Anti-American shame and they should be called out on it.

These are President Barack Obama’s people and we should never let anyone forget that at all. This is what he and his Democratic Party goons feed on and thrive upon. This is what gets them votes.

Why I do not really care if Michelle Obama lied in her speech or not

I will explain why it is that I really do not care, but first, here’s Breitbart’s boy’s yowling away:

First Lady Michelle Obama’s pitch to voters last night relied on the premise that she and her husband understand what it is to struggle to make ends meet. She spoke movingly about their early years–about how a young Barack Obama drove a car that was “rusted out” and found his furniture “in a dumpster,” how they both came from families that had to “scrape by.” Her fairy tale–however well-delivered–was one great, big, colorful lie.

Both Michelle Robinson and Barack Obama began their adult lives with a leg up on the rest of America. They attended elite schools: Michelle went to Whitney Young, the public magnet school for Chicago’s upper class, while Barack attended Punahou, the private prep school for the top stratum of Hawaiian society. They were accepted to Ivy League schools despite undistinguished credentials, and both attended Harvard Law School.

“[B]elieve it or not, when we were first married, our combined monthly student loan bills were actually higher than our mortgage,” Michelle said. That sounds like a raw deal–but in fact reflects their fortunate circumstances. They had both just graduated from a very expensive law school, and their combined income from cushy law firm jobs dwarfed the repayments. Barack also soon enjoyed a second salary from the University of Chicago.

They had expensive tastes, reflected in the $277,500 two-bedroom condo they bought in 1993–a high price even by today’s standards. Several years later, they moved into their $1.65 million mansion in Hyde Park–with the help of fraudster Tony Rezko. Barack often told a story of hardship on the campaign trail in 2008 about having his credit card declined–once. The fact that he thought this counted as real hardship speaks volumes

via Fact Check: First Lady’s False Fairy Tale of Struggle.

  1. I have known for sometime now that the Democrats are pretty much habitual liars. I mean, they literally blew the housing market up; and then proceeded to blame the Republicans for the entire mess. The Republicans, while telling the truth about who blew what up, just sat and blamed the other side; instead of fixing it and they also bailed out the very banks that created the entire mess. To be fair: So did Obama. 😀
  2. I have also known for a very long time, that the silly idea of the political leaders, especially on the Democratic side, were actually looking out for the little people — was nothing more than a very well-executed lie. The only thing that the political class is looking out for, are two things; their careers and votes. The Democrats get them by giving lip service to minorities and poor people. So, if they’re looking out for you, you should vote for them. 🙄 The Republicans get them by coddling crony capitalists and business owners of various stripes.

So, there you have it, the reason why I am just not getting excited about this newest outrageous outrage on the right. Do not get me wrong, there are many things that I do have against the Democrats, but this here, is just not one of them. We have more important things to worry about and many other things that we can remind the America people of, about the Democrats. This here is just not one that I care to even remotely worry about. 🙂

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

What am I laughing about?

It’s related to this and this.

Go read and enjoy the laugh! 😆

This is going to be the funniest election ever!

and this part especially:

Update:Run away!

Democratic National Committee chiefs Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Patrick Gaspard cancelled interviews with local media outlets tonight, amid controversy surrounding the party’s decision to reintroduce “God” and “Jerusalem” to the platform…

Blair Miller of WSOC TV, ABC’s Charlotte, N.C., affiliate, also tweeted that Wasserman Schultz cancelled her interview with him, without explanation. “After my Romney intv today, we were planning to interview @DWSTweets live,” he wrote. “However, she did not show up. Her staff not answering calls.”

OMG… Just…so…funny…… HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

DNC changes course on God and Israel

Now that is what you call putting the bus in reverse —- real quick!

Heck, at least they changed course, from this right here.

The Video:

The Story:

This has become a disaster for the Democrats and a boon to the Romney campaign. The DNC has now added God back into their platform language after originally taking it out. They have also added language back in that says Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. When they tried to change the language on the convention floor, there were boos! Oy-gevalt.

Despite the corrections by the Democrats, the Romney campaign can now argue that the Democrats don’t know what they believe on two very important topics. They can also argue that the Democrats only did this because of the pushback. That’s true. The Brody File first pointed it out and the media followed, making this a story that the DNC wants to make go away. The problem is it’s not going away. Expect the Romney campaign to push this until Election Day. These last second changes really just make the issue worse and make the Democrat Party look bad.

In a way it’s unfortunate for the party because speakers at the DNC have been talking about God from the stage and there have been plenty of faith-filled events down here in Charlotte. But party officials should have known this would get scrutinized. The issue is either political malpractice or something far worse.

via DNC Almighty Nightmare In Charlotte: Now Dems Put God And Jerusalem Language Back Into The Platform.

I have to hand it to David Brody, his story went viral and things changed because of it. Good job!

The Democratic Party has actually become the Godless Party

This is unbelievable and never would have happened as recent as the 1990’s.

The story via David Brody over at CBN NEWS:

Guess what? God’s name has been removed from the Democratic National Committee platform.

This is the paragraph that was in the 2008 platform:

“We need a government that stands up for the hopes, values, and interests of working people, and gives everyone willing to work hard the chance to make the most of their God-given potential.”

Now the words “God-given” have been removed. The paragraph has been restructured to say this:

“We gather to reclaim the basic bargain that built the largest middle class and the most prosperous nation on Earth – the simple principle that in America, hard work should pay off, responsibility should be rewarded, and each one of us should be able to go as far as our talent and drive take us.”

It is not only God; but it is Israel too. The Washington Free Beacon reports:

For Jerusalem, the new platform has been brought into line with the Obama administration’s policy of not recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and supporting its division. Jerusalem is unmentioned in the 2012 document, whereas the 2008 and 2004 Democratic Party platforms declared “Jerusalem is and will remain the capital of Israel…It should remain an undivided city accessible to people of all faiths.” The Obama administration’s refusal to recognize Jerusalem has been a point of significant controversy in recent months.

On the issue of Palestinian refugees, the new document has removed language from the 2004 and 2008 platforms specifying that Palestinian “refugees” should be settled in a future Palestinian state, not in Israel.

The 2004 platform: “The creation of a Palestinian state should resolve the issue of Palestinian refugees by allowing them to settle there, rather than in Israel.”

The 2008 platform: The peace process “should resolve the issue of Palestinian refugees by allowing them to settle there, rather than in Israel.”

The 2012 platform contains no language on the matter.

Previously, Obama has incorporated the Palestinian positions on Jerusalem and borders into his administration’s policies. It appears that with his party’s new platform, he is also doing so with refugees.

Gone as well is the language from 2008 on the terrorist group Hamas, which currently controls the Gaza Strip. That platform declared, “The United States and its Quartet partners should continue to isolate Hamas until it renounces terrorism, recognizes Israel’s right to exist, and abides by past agreements.”

The 2012 platform contains no mention of Hamas.

Mitt Romney did weigh in on this:

UPDATE (2:39 p.m.): Mitt Romney released a statement Tuesday afternoon, criticizing the Democratic platform for removing the Jerusalem language:

“It is unfortunate that the entire Democratic Party has embraced President Obama’s shameful refusal to acknowledge that Jerusalem is Israel’s capital. Four years of President Obama’s repeated attempts to create distance between the United States and our cherished ally have led the Democratic Party to remove from their platform an unequivocal acknowledgment of a simple reality. As president, I will restore our relationship with Israel and stand shoulder to shoulder with our close ally.”

Okay, now for my thoughts. Now, as everyone who reads my blog knows that recently I removed my blog’s “I stand with Israel” banner, because of the actions of a well-known Jewish-American blogger towards me and because of things said about Ron Paul by Jews, which I did not believe was fair to him and his legacy. However, that should not be interpreted by anyone, least of all the Jewish community that I dismiss the idea of a Jewish State or even harbor hatred towards Jews at all. 

What I can tell you is this; this tossing of Christianity and Israel under the proverbial bus, might just be the death knell of Obama’s campaign and the Democratic Party as we know it. Because there are many people, Left and Right; who still love Israel and the Democratic Party’s basic tossing of Israel and the Christian communities under the bus like this, might just be a bridge too far for some people.

There are many people, yours truly included, that have felt that the Democratic Party has far strayed from its moorings; from that that party that it was in the 1940’s during the Roosevelt and Truman era.  It is sad thing for me to have to actually write; but the Democratic Party is just no longer my Grandfather’s Party or mine for that matter. They have drifted much to far away from what I recalling reading about and admiring.

President Ronald Reagan said it best, “I did not leave the Democratic Party, they left me.” Sadly, they have left me too and now, they’ve left Israel and Jesus behind too. Progression, you say? More like regression, and ultimately ——— undoing.

In closing:

Stand with Israel

Vote and Support Mitt Romney for President of the United States in 2012.

Idiots Deluxe: Outside the BeltwayWashington Monthly,

Poll by The Hill says that 52 percent say that Nation is worse off and Obama does not deserve reelection

This is not much of s surprise at all, after all; Obama basically conceded defeat on the economy, of which Romney reminded everyone.

Quoting:

A majority of voters believe the country is worse off today than it was four years ago and that President Obama does not deserve reelection, according to a new poll for The Hill.

Fifty-two percent of likely voters say the nation is in “worse condition” now than in September 2008, while 54 percent say Obama does not deserve reelection based solely on his job performance.

Only 31 percent of voters believe the nation is in “better condition,” while 15 percent say it is “about the same,” the poll found. Just 40 percent of voters said Obama deserves reelection.

via Hill Poll: Voters say second term undeserved, country is worse off – The Hill – covering Congress, Politics, Political Campaigns and Capitol Hill | TheHill.com.

I remember back when Obama was trying to pass healthcare. I remember thinking at the time; “Why is he doing this? Why isn’t he trying to fix the economy first?” I also remember thinking, if he does this backwards like this, he is going to lose the people. Sure enough, I was right. Now, as a Conservative; I know darned well, that the President cannot actually fix the economy. However, what a President can do is create a climate of confidence, that will make small business owners want to hire people. Like reducing taxes, removing unnecessary red tape and regulations.

Another reason why Obama has ruined the business climate in America is because of spending.  Now this is where I go off yowling and sounding like a Ron Paul follower, which I am really not; but the guy does have a point about this subject. I will explain it again for the 500’th time. When America spends money, it usually means that it prints more money, so that it can spend it. What this does is devalue our currency, when the currency is devalued, it costs more to buy products. This is called inflation, it was a problem in the 1970’s and it is now a problem again. To it’s credit, the United States brought it’s inflation problem under control in the 1980’s and because of that, the 1980’s was a time a great prosperity in this Country, this continued into the 1990’s as well.

Then the spending started again, under Clinton, and then, under Bush and now again under Obama. This is why we are in the spot that we are in, is because of the reckless spending by the Bush Administration on wars and also because of the Obama Administration’s strange idea that you can spend yourself out of a recession, which is quite idiotic.

Again, this is why that there are no jobs. Because when the Government spends, it puts the private sector at disadvantage. Now, if you are a Marxist and believe that the Government is the end all for everything, you like this. However, if you are a person that believes in limited Government, and that capitalism and private industry is the backbone of America; this, to you, is a very bad thing.

Another thing too, and I mentioned this earlier in my piece and that is taxes. It is my understanding that businesses taxes under Obama have increased.  No matter what form that they might take, tax increases on businesses of any sort, small, large, medium —whatever, are a death knell to business growth. It only stands to reason that if a business owner is going to have to pay more taxes, that he is not going to be able to hire that extra employee. This is just common sense.

Which is something that is sorely lacking in the Democratic Party these days.
