This is very sad: (via CNN)

Videos: Mitt Romney’s convention speech video and speech video
I have to admit, I liked both the convention pre-speech video and the speech itself.
The intro video was quite moving. One of the moments that stands out, is the moment when Romney talk about love. He sighs deeply and says, “You know, I just do not understand love.” This hit home with me, greatly. Only difference with me is, the young Lady that I fell in love with just was not in the cards for me to marry or God’s will, if you want to put a religious shine on it. So, I let her go and let it go. But I know that feeling of being in love with someone. It is a deep emotion and I’ve experienced it in my day.
Here’s the intro video: (via HotAir.com)

The convention speech was great, even Reagan-like. Of course, there are some who are serial gripers and complainers; who did not like it. But for me, as an Christian, as a Conservative American; it hit right at home.
Here it is:
I believe that if this speech and the talks about Romney’s willingness to help others does not convince voters, that he is the real deal and not a rich stiff — then nothing will — and quite frankly, I really do not give a remote flip if we get their votes or not. Anyone that is stupid enough to buy the lies of the liberal left and vote for a Marxist President after this one’s horrible failures; they get the Government that they deserve.
In closing:
Vote for Mitt in 2012 – We’ve got a Country to save.
Update on blog issues
Just a short message saying that I believe that I resolved my issues with security on the blog.
I guess the towel-heads found a hole, and uploaded an exploit. I found it and it is deleted.
I also did install a much better plug-in for securing the blog. So, that’s done.
Hopefully, they won’t come back or at least be able to do any more of that stuff.
Blog Woes
Remember I told you about my troubles with the blog?
Well, they are not quite over. The hackers returned, and they got me again. I think my host was able to pull it out of the fire again.
It’s 5:24 a.m. right now, so, I might ramble a bit.
Anyhow, this is starting to get to me. I get hacked by Arabs, I get hacked by pissed off Conservatives in 2007.
It is all getting a bit old. 🙁
It is beginning to wear on this 40 year old man. 🙁
I need a break for a few days.
I’ll be back, if I have a blog to come back to.
Video: RNC’s Ron Paul tribute
This comes via Mediaite’s Andrew Kirell, who calls it an “Epic Fail”:
Now, personally, I watched it; and I did not think that it was that overly horrible. Still just the same, Andrew rightfully does point out the following:
The tribute did make slight nods to Paul’s belief in sound money and his fight to audit the Federal Reserve. But it ignored Paul’s fight to end GOP sacred cows like the costly and futile War on Drugs; his fight to protect civil liberties from executive overreach like the PATRIOT Act; and his battle against an unsustainable foreign policy of “maintaining empire” and playing World Police.
The video also neglected to mention just how Paul would like to cut the deficit.
Instead of the mainstream Republicans’ supposedly “radical” plans to cut from future spending growth, Paul wants to slash budgets left and right… especially the GOP’s sacred-cow national defense. He wants to end all corporate tax loopholes; something the GOP is reluctant to touch. He considers such “pro-business” tax manipulation to be synonymous with crony capitalism.
[….]
The GOP must have thought this video could placate Paul supporters enough to get their vote. Plenty of Republican officials expressed certainty that the Texas congressman will leave the convention fully endorsing the Romney/Ryan ticket. Despite Paul telling Fox’s Neil Cavuto that he has “no plans” to endorse, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer said she is certain he will hop on the bandwagon.
But that’s just haughty. And wrong. Because until the party actually tries to change instead of occasionally throwing a superficial bone to Paul, then you can expect many of his supporters to maintain a firm position of “not voting for Romney.”
Want proof? Look to the little-reported fact that Paul’s delegates staged a walk-out immediately following the tribute video.
They walked out, and will likely continue to walk out, because the difference between Paul’s following and the GOP’s rank-and-file “Ew, it’s Romney, but we must support him” types is that the former truly believe in consistency and principles, and are wholly interested in maintaining it, while the latter seem blind in their belief that this Romney/Ryan ticket will somehow “save” the country while shutting out the the voices of actual change.
All very valid points, but I do tend to believe, that If I know Ron Paul like I think I do — he most likely is happy that he got any sort of a tribute at all and that his Son Rand is being accepted among the GOP mainstream. The reason I say this is because it was not too long ago that the GOP was headlong into President Bush’s Neoconservative nonsense and people like Ron Paul could not get a word in edgewise, much less a tribute from the GOP. So, I would say that Ron Paul is happy that his message has been accepted this much.
As for Romney my feelings are this here: As some of you might know, I have decided to cast my lot with Mitt Romney. I came to this decision last night, after watching the behavior of the left, when it came to Mia Love and Ann Romney; I mean sometimes, one must say, enough is enough and that I did and I have no regrets at all. I do have some doubts about Romney, but at this point; anything is better than Barack Obama. I mean, the man has been a horrible failure in many areas, even though I did not vote for Obama. I did kind of expect some sort of result from him. However, myself and many others like me in this position — got nothing.
So, I am in for Romney — come hell, high water and hacked blog. I am voting for something who will actually change things — for the good.
UPDATED: HACKED! Radical Islamists Loyal to Osama Bin Laden hack this blog
Luckily they did not get anything important. They just hacked my theme.
They also hacked the e-mail address for the Administrator of the blog. Which was due to one idiotic thing that I did.
Anyhow, I have changed some things around and hope they won’t be attacking me again.
I guess when one is pissing off the enemy, one draws fire. I guess that is a part of it.
Update: First of all, I made a huge error in the title of this posting, I was half asleep and had not gotten my coffee yet. It was not Muslim Bloggers that hacked this blog; it was radical Islamic terrorists, loyal to Osama Bin Laden. I have reason to believe that the hackers originated out of the Islamic Republic of Iran. I guess they have hackers targeting Conservative bloggers. I am investigating it and I have the hackers e-mail address. I suppose they seem to think that I am a Zionist or something. No matter, I have made some changes that will make future hacking attempts impossible.
Update #2: It appears that I was mistaken on the Country of Origin. The hackers were from Saudi Arabia and did not like it because I dared to support “Zionist” Mitt Romney. 🙄 Idiots deluxe….
Special Comment: I have decided to support Mitt Romney for President of the United States of America
There are times when someone has to take a stand against the forces of evil. There are times when one has to make decision to go against the grain, there are times when one has to look at injustice and has to say aloud; this cannot stand and is not even remotely acceptable. There are times, when one has to say, “To hell with family,” when one has to say, “To hell with the bigotry of those who want to use Religion as an acid test to one’s ability to Govern the Country.” As a 40-year-old man, who knows that the two previous Presidents have screwed us, when it comes to spending —- I have made a decision for America; and that includes taking a stand against evil.
As much, that I am quite aware of Governor Mitt Romney’s Statism, as much as I know that Mitt Romney said of the big three auto companies, “let them fail,” and then turned right around and lied about it. As much as I know that Mitt Romney did craft what is now known as “Romneycare,” as much as I have some serious concerns about Mitt Romney’s being a true Conservative and not a RINO —- I have to draw and line in the sand and say loudly, “Enough is enough!”
The reason I am writing this is that I happen to stumble upon the news story of how Liberal Democrat voters are wishing for the death of Ann Romney. This, in this writer’s opinion is a bridge too far. I watched Ann Romney’s speech last night and I must confess I was very much impressed. I also watched as Mitt Romney humbly sat and listened to Chris Christie sing his praises, not with a smug look on his face or with arrogant smile, but with a look of total humility about him.
Please, do not misunderstand me, I am all for freedom of speech and for the freedom of expression. However, this goes much beyond that; this is just pure evil and as a Christian, I cannot allow this sort of thing to go unchallenged. My family for doing it may chide me, but I cannot cast my lot with a Presidential Candidate who is not even on the ballet in every state. It just so happens, that this election is the most important in the history of our Nation and because of this, I cannot vote for someone who is not even on the ballot in all 50 States. For this, I am now officially rescinding my support of Virgil Goode and I am officially declaring my support for Governor Mitt Romney for President of the United States.
One of the things said at the Republican convention is, “We can do better.” Well, I happen to believe that we can do better than a Democratic Party President, whose supporters call for the death of the wife of someone who is running for President of the United States. It is unacceptable and I cannot sit on the sidelines and not defend decency.
It is said that Democrats fall in love, and Republicans fall in line. Well, I am not falling in line, nor I am a Republican. However, I am someone who is disgusted by the actions of those who support the Party that claims to be an honorable political party. I can assure you, they are not honorable any longer and this sort of stupidity proves that.
So, from now on; I am done sitting on the fence and tired of watching the Democrats and their hypocrisy and doing nothing. So, as of today, I am officially enlisting in the battle for the soul of America. I am supporting Mitt Romney.
We can do better.
It is time to fight and I grew up in southwest Detroit! I know all about fighting.
Let’s go.
The Democrats treatment of Ann Romney is Deplorable.
I just want to send you to this site here and let you read this crap.
Right about now, I am SERIOUSLY thinking of voting for Romney. 😡
Unbelievable. 😡
One of things that I did not like about Andrew Breitbart
…and no, it has zero to do with him being an adopted into a Jewish family.
What it has to do with is this: For some reason, Andrew Breitbart, as shown in this video and linked to by Glenn Reynolds — seemed to believe that America was somehow a Democracy. This is nothing more than a bald-faced lie, created by Big Government statists. America was NOT founded as a Democracy, Democracies are nothing more than mob rule.
America was founded, as a Constitutional Republic. In fact, anytime any of the founding father’s mentioned Democracies, it was not in glowing terms at all.
Perhaps Glenn Reynolds should watch this video here for a refresher about America’s founding. The sick part? Reynolds is a supposedly a Constitutional Lawyer. My question is, which Constitution is he teaching, Venezuela’s? The sick and sad part, is that Reynolds and his friends will pan the video, because it happened to be produced by group that was smeared by the Neocon prince William F. Buckley — Himself a tool of the CIA and the Governmental establishment.
Of course, I do not expect Reynolds to even acknowledge this posting, seeing his Neoconservative friends have blacklisted my blog for linking and even going as far to flag my trackbacks as spam to prevent me from getting any traffic. Which is typical of the NeoCon right, using tactics right out of Saul Alinsky’s book.
Sorry to have to sound so offensive, but this is just one of pet peeves about the Neoconservative right. They have this odd idea that America is a Democracy, when in fact it is not. Remind me again, how are they, being the Neocons —- different than the left again?
I am just saying.
Updated: Video: Did someone at FOX NEWS call Sarah Palin a “Zealot” during an interview?
I saw this over at Drudge Report and I thought I would present this and see what my readers think.
The offending remark happens at the 1:35 mark: (H/T Drudge)
Now to be honest, I thought it the word “Slut”. However, when I turned the sound up on my speakers a bit, I did, in fact hear the word Zealot. Now, personally, I believe the word was somehow or another dubbed in, afterwards by someone or at the very least, I do not believe that the on-air talent heard the word at all. Because there was no reaction. I did check the website where the interview was originally posted and I does seem to be a bona fide Sarah Palin supporter website.
Now, either someone at Fox News channel thinks they are being cute or this guy grabbed this video unknowingly from an Anti-Palin source. Either way, I believe Fox News, at the very least should address this and tell us whether it was one of their people or not.
Update: Conservatives for Palin relays that Fox News has given a piss poor explanation for this; and no Britt Hume, you did not say SALAD, you said ZEALOT!, you lying stack of crap! I have ears like a hawk and I know damned well what I heard. Also too, before anyone else seizes on this; I admit it, I am not a Sarah Palin fan or anything, anyone who reads this site and my former blog knows this. But, when I hear something like that, and the people who did it, LIE about it. It tends to bring question to a network’s objectivity, who claims to be fair and balanced. I always knew that network was going more liberal and this is proof of that fact.
