Fred Thompson Addresses the RNC

(H/T Real Clear Politics)

I thought this was a awesome speech…

Video:

Transcript available here.

Awesome quote:

My friends, we need a leader who stands on principle.

We need a President, and Vice President, who will take the federal
bureaucracy by the scruff of the neck and give it a good shaking.

And we need a President who doesn’t think that the protection of the unborn or a newly born baby is above his pay grade.

The man who will be that President is John McCain.

Zing! I cannot wait to hear Obama’s response to that. (calling Al Sharpton!)

Local News: Kangaroo Court in Progress

In the mood to watch a circus?

There’s one in progress. The hearing to remove Democratic Party member, Detroit’s Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick as Mayor of Detroit. The full background of this whole legal circus is available here, here and Here.

Want to see a good reason NOT to have a Black Democrat in the White House? Look no further than the city of Detroit. Yeah, I know. Raaaaaacist! 🙄

Here’s hoping that Democratic Governor Jennifer Granholm does the right and proper thing and gets this clown monkey out of the office of mayor of Detroit. But, I will not hold my breath, because as we all know, Democrats don’t cross one another.

The Obama campaign was unavailable for comment.

Memo to the McCain Campaign: Do not anger Phyllis Schlafly!

Not much surprises me anymore. But when I saw this story, my Jaw dropped!

John McCain or Sarah Palin for that matter, does not want to tick this woman off! Who?

This one:

schlafly_2

This, my friends, is Phyllis Schlafly.

This, my friends, is everything Conservative female. This woman is who Ann Coulter should be. But, quite frankly, could not hold a candle to.

But as usual, the “Maverick” has crossed his own base. 🙄

The Story Via ABC News:

ABC News’ Teddy Davis reports: Conservative icon Phyllis Schlafly is taking the McCain campaign to task for notifying her at the last minute that Sarah Palin will be a no-show on Tuesday when the Republican National Coalition for Life holds an event honoring the Alaska governor.

“I think this is clearly somebody in the McCain campaign who doesn’t understand where the votes are coming from,” Schlafly told ABC News. “They only told me this at 10 o’clock last night, and it was a call from somebody down-the-line in the McCain campaign.

“The pro-lifers who paid $95 to come to this event because of Sarah Palin are going to be very unhappy,” she added.

Schlafly is expecting 800 people, most of whom are delegates to the Republican National Convention, to attend Tuesday’s reception at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in St. Paul, Minn. The event runs from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. CT.

[….]

Schlafly added that Tuesday’s event would have been a good opportunity for Palin to quickly address her daughter’s pregnancy and to eliminate further discussion of it.

“She was not going to be subjected to questions at this event,” said Schlafly.

Asked what she plans to say about the cancellation at the event, Schlafly said, “I am certainly going to say that it was McCain that canceled.”

Whoa Boy, Something tells me that John McCain is going to have some serious issues comes this election. One this going to be one of them.

Exit Comment: I’ve heard of stiffing the base, but this? Yikes! 😯 😮

Morning Thoughts…..

I am sitting here watching Morning Joe. I keep hearing this stupidity, that the candidate’s personal lives are off limits.

Oh Really? Since when? Michelle Obama was quite the subject on the Blogs and also in the Main Stream Media. Jack Tapper asked the question that I did yesterday. Although, I did it in a more snarky way.

They way I see it, if Juan McSame was that stupid to bring that bitch into this race, her whole damn life is fair game.

Not only this, the hypocrisy of this whole thing stinks to high Heaven. I have held off Blogging this point, because honestly, I believe the whole thing speaks of the “We don’t live what we preach”, which is very common in the Christian world. In fact, there were two “ministers” that were busted here as of recent. It all gives fuel to the fire, that liberals use against the Conservative crowd. In fact, I have personal experience with this on a personal level.

I won’t get into it, because I really don’t feel like getting into it. Let’s just say it is very common in Christianity. Needless to say, Christianity/Conservatism is not like it used to be, there was a time, long ago, when Christians really lived what they preached. Of course, those days are gone for good.

My biggest issue is, how the McCain camp and supporters keep say that Palin has more experience than Obama. That whole argument is Non-Sequitur. Why? Because Palin has done her share of idiotic stuff in Alaska, when she was Mayor of her hometown. Like attempting to build a sports center for her “Lagacy”. Which left her hometown broke. Not to mention her saying that she endorsed Obama’s energy plan.

So, I just don’t get this whole argument of how she’s so much more smarter and more qualified for the job. Because it is nothing more but glamorized garbage. Let’s be real. The woman was selected for her gender and because it was thought she would appeal to Hillary supporters. Needless to say, John McCain was quite wrong there.

…and with that, I’m going for more coffee.

Update: Marc H. Rudov agrees and offers an interesting take on a Palin V.P.

Bob Barr's Statement on Hurricane Gustav

This comes via Bob Barr 2008 Blog

Bob Barr, Wayne Allyn Root and the rest of us in the campaign would like to send along our thoughts and prayers to everyone caught in the path of Hurricane Gustav.

New Orleans is one of my favorite towns in the country. I visited there in 2002 for the first time and it was great. My wife and I visited again last year. The city had rebounded much more than I expected and the spirit of the town never left. It’s terrible that they are staring down another potentially devastating storm.

While many of us will spend our holiday weekend cooking out or spending time with our families, please take a moment and remember those that are caught up in the storm.

So much for Democratic Party Patriotism

(H/T to Maggie’s Notebook)

These pictures come via Radar Site:

flags-in-the-trash-1

flags-in-the-trash-2

Quote:

A note from Radarsite: I wouldn’t do it, would you? Would you, could you dump the American flag into the trashcan, just after having given all those phony patriotic speeches? If nothing else, wouldn’t you even be just a little concerned for how it might look? Well, not these people. Their message is clear. Contempt. Contempt for America and contempt for our opinions of their disgusting conduct.

This is the true message of the Democratic Convention. This is the image they have left us with.

Shame. Shame. Shame. -rg

Shame shame is right. They say that Democratic Love America, but yet, they’ll toss a flag, in the trash? 😡

Of course, this is same party that supports this guy:

Ayers%20flag

”I don’t regret setting bombs,” Bill Ayers said. ”I feel we didn’t do enough.” Mr. Ayers, who spent the 1970’s as a fugitive in the Weather Underground, was sitting in the kitchen of his big turn-of-the-19th-century stone house in the Hyde Park district of Chicago. The long curly locks in his Wanted poster are shorn, though he wears earrings. He still has tattooed on his neck the rainbow-and-lightning Weathermen logo that appeared on letters taking responsibility for bombings. And he still has the ebullient, ingratiating manner, the apparently intense interest in other people, that made him a charismatic figure in the radical student movement. – New York Times

You see now why I left, that bunch of America-hating idiots?

Update: Turns out this Story is totally Bogus.

What's fair…..is fair….

Well, seeing the left is going crazy over rumors about Sarah Palin.

I figured I would start a counter rumor, or just simply ask a simple question.

How do we know that Obama’s “so-called” daughters are even his? Would Barry even agree to an DNA test? It is to wonder.

I mean, the African-American culture is not exactly known for it’s martial faithfulness. If Larry Sinclair is to be believed, Barry got around, maybe Michelle did too.

It is a fair question, but if one asks it, ol’ Bambi Aka the Obamassiah will say, “My family is off limits”. and his bots will attack your site. But yet, the Liberals can make up lies about Sarah Palin.

Such an oddball World we live in.
