A Liberal Blogger realizes the sickening truth

(H/T to Ed @ HotAir.com Via Q@O)

First off, I want it to be known that this is not to be taken as an “Michelle Malkin” style of insulting posting. I don’t do that, or at least I try not to, anyways.

It seems that a Liberal Blogger, known simply as “The Wizard” has finally seen what the far left has done to the Democratic Party.

Quote:

September 2nd, 2008. The 2008 Election ended this morning as a vast cadre of liberals, progressives, Democrats and like minded journalists lifted the white
flag and surrendered.

We surrendered something a whole lot more valuable than our vote. We surrendered our principles. We surrendered our core values.

We surrendered all hope. We surrendered our shared dreams that our daughters would inherit a better world, a world of promise, equality, justice, fairness and honor.

We had dreamed of a world where our 17 years old daughters wouldn’t be striped naked and raped on the front page of the New York Times, above the fold.

We dreamed of a world where a candidate, man or woman, could run for the highest office in the land and not be swiftboated” with sexual lies and slander so vicious, so cruel, so gross and destructive that they actually wither our very soul.

I actually believed we were better than that. I actually believed “swiftboating” was the sole property of Republicans.

I actually believed we wanted to debate the issues. I actually believed we wanted the real change so eloquently promised by Senator Barack Obama. I actually believed we wanted a better world for our sons and our daughters.

So I thought the extremely bizarre story, so obvious a blatant lie, that somehow appeared in The Daily Kos, claiming Governor Sarah Palin had somehow faked her own pregnancy to cover up for her wayward teenage daughter would be laughed off and quickly vanish form the Kos pages like the trash it was. It was a joke, A sad, sick joke.

But instead of the aborted fetus it should have been, it was born full grown into the waiting arms of liberal bloggers and journalists, who quickly passed out cigars and congratulated themselves as proud mamas and papas. All this in spite of the fact that absolutely everyone knew the story was an absolute lie.


The only thing we aborted was the truth.

[….]

Barack Obama himself is pleading for restraint. But the town sheriff’s eloquence cannot stop the mob. There’s a lynching to be held.

My friends, this very thing, is why I left the Democratic side of the Political fence, for good. The honorable Democratic Party of old, The great party of Roosevelt and Truman, has been replaced by a far leftest party of utter socialism and extremism. The very party that was responsible for the following quote:

As Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense.

But always will our whole nation remember the character of the onslaught against us. No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.

I believe that I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make it very certain that this form of treachery shall never again endanger us.

Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger.

With confidence in our armed forces—with the unbounding determination of our people—we will gain the inevitable triumph—so help us God.

I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, December 7th, 1941, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese Empire. — Delivered December 8, 1941 by United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt, one day after the Empire of Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor.

This party has now been replaced by a extremist socialist group of surrender monkeys who, quite frankly, don’t give a damn whether the United States is attacked or not. The honorable party of morals and integrity has been been replaced with a younger generation of people who want to see Christianity in America destroyed and our Nation’s values and morals torn asunder, and see it replaced with an classless, God-less society in which the Government controls every aspect of our lives.

It is my hope, that many more within that party will wake up and see what has happen to their party and will come out as well. Kudo’s to the person that wrote the Blog posting, I wish him well.

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! 😯 😮

So much for Democratic Party Patriotism

(H/T to Maggie’s Notebook)

These pictures come via Radar Site:

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.

A good reason why I am not a Republican, nor Democrat or go to Conventions…

Can be found here.

Quote:

Protesters here in Minneapolis have been targeted by a series of highly intimidating, sweeping police raids across the city, involving teams of 25-30 officers in riot gear, with semi-automatic weapons drawn, entering homes of those suspected of planning protests, handcuffing and forcing them to lay on the floor, while law enforcement officers searched the homes, seizing computers, journals, and political pamphlets. Last night, members of the St. Paul police department and the Ramsey County sheriff’s department handcuffed, photographed and detained dozens of people meeting at a public venue to plan a demonstration, charging them with no crime other than “fire code violations,” and early this morning, the Sheriff’s department sent teams of officers into at least four Minneapolis area homes where suspected protesters were staying.

Jane Hamsher and I were at two of those homes this morning — one which had just been raided and one which was in the process of being raided. Each of the raided houses is known by neighbors as a “hippie house,” where 5-10 college-aged individuals live in a communal setting, and everyone we spoke with said that there had never been any problems of any kind in those houses, that they were filled with “peaceful kids” who are politically active but entirely unthreatening and friendly. Posted below is the video of the scene, including various interviews, which convey a very clear sense of what is actually going on here.

In the house that had just been raided, those inside described how a team of roughly 25 officers had barged into their homes with masks and black swat gear, holding large semi-automatic rifles, and ordered them to lie on the floor, where they were handcuffed and ordered not to move. The officers refused to state why they were there and, until the very end, refused to show whether they had a search warrant. They were forced to remain on the floor for 45 minutes while the officers took away the laptops, computers, individual journals, and political materials kept in the house. One of the individuals renting the house, an 18-year-old woman, was extremely shaken as she and others described how the officers were deliberately making intimidating statements such as “Do you have Terminator ready?” as they lay on the floor in handcuffs. The 10 or so individuals in the house all said that though they found the experience very jarring, they still intended to protest against the GOP Convention, and several said that being subjected to raids of that sort made them more emboldened than ever to do so.

I honestly have to wonder, do we live in the United States of America or do we live in Soviet Russia? This will be a black mark on the Republican Party, the City of Minneapolis and the State of Minnesota. It is this sort of idiotic nonsense that gives people like Alex Jones the fuel to fan the propaganda that loves to spread and profit from.

This is one of the simple reasons why I tend to avoid these sort of gatherings. Bad information does get passed and police do make mistakes. As the saying goes, I feel it is better to stay safe, than be sorry.

What happened here, as far as I am concerned, is nothing short of the repression of freedom of speech. It is wrong and I am, quite frankly, surprised that more Conservatives are not raising the roof about it. I realize that some of these people who were raided, might of the Liberal political mindset. But, to attempt to suppress the political discourse and to attempt to quell any sort of a demonstration, goes totally against the Constitution of the United States of America.

I have to honestly wonder, what would President Ronald Reagan say or think, if he were alive to see this sort of brutal abuse of Governmental power. I honestly believe that he would be horrified.

Something everyone should read about Sarah Palin

Remember what I wrote about Sarah Palin earlier?

Well, it’s worse than I thought, much worse. The Kos Kids, turns out, have a laundry list of dirt on this woman. I highly recommend that you click this link, to go read the accounts of Sarah Palin’s time as Mayor and Governor of Alaska.

We cannot afford to have someone, of this great depth, of this great amount, of deft incompetence running the White House or any other public office in America.

This is not a Republican issue, this is not a Democratic Party issue, this is not a Male vs Female issue, this is not a Sexist issue, this is a issue of what is good for this Nation and it’s stability and the ability for this nation to get back on track to competent Government.

The United States for the last 8 years, has been forced to deal with a Presidential Administration that has absolutely reeked with abysmal incompetence. We as Americans cannot afford 4-8 more years of this. One Dick Cheney is enough, one George W. Bush is enough, we cannot afford another one.

While I am not in the tank for the one they call “O”. I would rather have an outright socialist, a possible closet Marxist in the White House and know that the Government would be well taken care of, than to see an inexperienced buffoon running the White House and the affairs of the United States Government.

Yeah, I know, it’s Sarah Palin

Sorry about the delay in getting started today. I just could not sleep last night. I have those nights, it sucks, but there isn’t a thing I can do about it.

Yes, I know. It’s Palin.

…and of course, the Christian Right is wetting themselves with self-righteous glee. Which I find to be absolutely sickening.

Michelle Malkin says:

Yes, I’m impressed. Very impressed.

[…]

12:44pm Eastern. Palin gives props to Geraldine Ferraro and Hillary Clinton. “The women of America aren’t finished yet…We can shatter that glass ceiling once and for all!”

Palin coopts the Hope and Change mantra. Sweet.

Audience coopts “Yes, we can!” Sweet.

God bless America!

For real.

HotAir’s Ed Morrissey:

This is change you can believe in, and not change that amounts to all talk. McCain changed the trajectory of the race today by stealing Obama’s strength and turning it against him. Obama provided that opening by picking Biden as his running mate, and McCain was smart enough to take advantage of the opening.

My Take:

Two Words. Big Whoop.

First of all, we already had an overly ambitious woman trying to run for the highest office in the land. I am sorry, but women just do NOT belong in politics. Especially this one, she has a damn baby, I just could not get over the image of how Palin put her own newborn baby off on her daughter, all the while standing up there in her self righteous glory, harping for all that attention. Not to mention the way her older daughters were dressed, looking like two dollar whores, with their dresses hiked up above their knees, and this woman is a Conservative? Please, don’t make me laugh. (To be fair, McCain’s daughter, Sidney, was dressed like a slut too…)

Second of all, she’s pro-life, she’s a part of that far right, evangelical Christian attempt to Christianize America, which I feel violates ones right of Freedom of, and FROM a organized Religion. Further more, she is a part of that Fascist attempt to get the Government to try and control what a woman can do with her body, as a Libertarian, I feel that is in direct opposition to our United States Constitution and is in direct opposition to the very idea of limited Government.

Third of all, she has zero Political experience. The woman served on the PTA, (Harper Valley?) served on the local city council, then ran for Mayor of her home town, then ran Governor of Alaska and won. Now McCain wants to make her a V.P.? Not a smart move Juan McSame.

Just a personal opinion, but I look for that straight talk express to hit the damn wall. Hard.

Will this cause McCain to draw former Hillary supporters, not likely at all. They know the things that Hillary stood for and the more informed one’s will know what the Republicans stand for. It just will not happen.

The Bottom Line: Color me highly unimpressed.

Update: Ramesh Ponnuru somewhat agrees with me, although, he’s not nearly extreme about it as me.

Obama's Convention Bounce

As expected Barack Obama’s convention bounce has arrived.

Via Gallup Poll:

Democratic candidate Barack Obama has gained ground in the latest Gallup Poll Daily tracking average from Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and now leads Republican John McCain among registered voters by a 48% to 42% margin.

The latest three-day Gallup Poll Daily tracking average (Aug. 25-27) is directly coincident with the first three days of the Democratic National Convention in Denver, and is no doubt beginning to reflect the typical convention “bounce” that Gallup has observed in most party conventions in recent decades. There is a lag of sorts involved in the daily tracking; interviewing is conducted in most parts of the country before that evening’s high-focus speeches have taken place. Thus, the current three-day average would reflect any impact of Monday night’s speech by Michelle Obama, and Tuesday night’s speech by Hillary Clinton, but would not completely reflect Wednesday night’s lineup of speakers, such as John Kerry, former President Bill Clinton, and vice presidential nominee Joe Biden, nor the appearance on stage at the end of the evening by Barack Obama himself.

Gallup’s interviewing for last Friday through Sunday, the last three days before the convention officially began, showed the race at a 45% to 45% tie. Thus, there is already a six percentage point bounce evident in the data, although the final “official” post-convention bounce used in comparison with other recent conventions will not be tabulated by Gallup until interviewing for Friday through Sunday is completed (reported next Monday on gallup.com).

Of keen interest this year will be the dynamics of the race in the forthcoming days, as John McCain, by all accounts, will attempt to pounce on the Democrats’ bounce by announcing his vice presidential running mate either Thursday night or Friday and with attention turning quickly to the Republican convention that is set to begin on Monday in St. Paul. Also in the mix this year will be an act of nature; if Tropical Storm Gustav becomes a hurricane and makes landfall on the U.S. Gulf Coast sometime on Tuesday, news coverage of the GOP convention will be diluted, and the impact of that situation (coming some three years after Hurricane Katrina) is impossible to predict.

The Graphs:

080828DailyUpdateGraph1_thnbvrw

080828DailyUpdateGraph2_wrfdvbn

Of course, if you’re objective reporter, and not in the tank for Obama. (Unlike some) You would simply say that this is due to the Democratic Convention and because of Obama’s selection of white running mate, which has most likely reassured some of the more undecided voters.

As it says above, this coming hurricane could also cause the Republicans some serious issues. Especially if there is widespread damage. Hopefully, this won’t be the case, because I am truly looking forward to viewing this upcoming convention.

On the long term, I personally believe that these polls will even out and perhaps go more towards McCain, especially during the Republican Convention. This is unless a hurricane hits the coast hard.
