Classless Liberal Blacks Boo Mitt Romney at NAACP Convention

The Video: (H/T to Buzzfeed)

The Story via the Hill:

Mitt Romney told the NAACP on Wednesday that President Obama has made it worse for African-Americans “in almost every way.”

“If equal opportunity in America were an accomplished fact, then a chronically bad economy would be equally bad for everyone,” Romney told the nation’s leading civil rights group at their national convention in Houston, Texas. “Instead, it’s worse for African-Americans in almost every way. The unemployment rate, the duration of unemployment, average income and median family wealth are all worse for the black community.”

While Obama carried the black vote in a landslide in 2008 and leads Romney 92 to 2 percent among black voters, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released on Wednesday, Romney hopes his economic pitch will resonate with a group that has been disproportionately affected by the economic downturn. He’s made a similar appeal to other voting blocs, such as Hispanics and women.

I seem to remember that during the state of the union address given by that a white man, named Joe Wilson dared to call Obama’s bluff during that address and roundly condemned by the press, democrats and even republicans. But yet, black liberals can boo a white man running for President and that’s okay.

It is just another example of the sick liberal poisoned society we live in. It is racist, and the NAACP should be condemned for fostering this sort of hateful mentality among their members.

Video: U.N Gun Treaty a risk for U.S. Gun Owners, Says NRA

First the Video from the NRA:

Fox News Reports:


UNITED NATIONS – A treaty being hammered out this month at the United Nations — with Iran playing a key role — could expose the records of America’s gun owners to foreign governments — and, critics warn, eventually put the Second Amendment on global trial.

International talks in New York are going on throughout July on the final wording of the so-called Arms Trade Treaty, which supporters such as Amnesty International USA say would rein in unregulated weapons that kill an estimated 1,500 people daily around the world. But critics, including the National Rifle Association’s Wayne LaPierre, warn the treaty would mark a major step toward the eventual erosion of the U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment gun-ownership rights.

Americans “just don’t want the UN to be acting as a global nanny with a global permission slip stating whether they can own a gun or not,” LaPierre said. “It cheapens our rights as American citizens, and weakens our sovereignty,” he warned in an exclusive interview with FoxNews.com from the halls of the UN negotiating chambers.

Right now the NRA is fighting to keep American gun owners off of this treaty. If you can, please, help them. I cannot, as I am unemployed and really not making any kind of money; so it is up to you. Click here to help.

Our Second Amendment rights are given to us by God, not by Governments. We must fight to protect them. Join the fight today.

Disclaimer: I am posting this of my own accord. I am not being compensated by the Nation Rifle Association or any of it’s members for posting this blog entry. I am posting it, because I am genuinely worried about our second amendment rights.

Congratulations to Skippy the Bush Kangaroo!

For 10 years of blogging.

I used to read him back in the day, when I was on the left, fighting against Bush. When I started back in 2006, he was one of the guys I read.

Congrats Skippy, keep up the work; keep fighting for what you believe in. 😀

For those who might have in issue with me congratulating someone for actually having made 10 years of blogging, on the other side. I ask that you kindly piss off. I am simply not going to allow my differences of opinion with Skippy, to prevent my from being civil to another blogger.

Again, Skippy, my best.

Majority of voters say Obama has changed Country for worse, Says Hill Poll

There is a part of me that wants to say, “Well Duh!” But I shall refrain.

Via The Hill:

Two-thirds of likely voters say President Obama has kept his 2008 campaign promise to change America — but it’s changed for the worse, according to a sizable majority.

A new poll for The Hill found 56 percent of likely voters believe Obama’s first term has transformed the nation in a negative way, compared to 35 percent who believe the country has changed for the better under his leadership.

 

The results signal broad voter unease with the direction the nation has taken under Obama’s leadership and present a major challenge for the incumbent Democrat as he seeks reelection this fall.

Before you say, “Well, that is just Republicans!” Let’s read on shall we?

Strikingly, 1-in-5 Democrats say they feel Obama has changed the United States for the worse.

Compared to the sentiment about Obama’s impact, fewer people see presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney as a candidate who will change the country dramatically if elected.

Still, 50 percent of people think Romney will bring a “significant” level of change — a finding that may reflect the desire among anti-Obama voters for a reversal of the president’s policies.

Debate about Obama’s first-term legacy has intensified since the Supreme Court ruled the Affordable Care Act’s individual mandate to be constitutional.

The healthcare legislation, once fully implemented, would usher in the most sweeping changes to the nation’s social safety net since the 1960s.

The best come back that the Democrats can come up with, is to blame the Republicans for opposing the President’s polices. Which is idiotic, because the President and the Democrats had a majority in both houses of Congress, during his first term. The massive failure was the spending that was supposed to energize our economy; which ultimately fell flat.  However, as someone, who is not some sort of partisan hack; I happen to know what is killing or economy.

What is killing our economy is globalism; put simply, if someone knows that they can build a product in China, where they can get away with paying someone a dollar an hour, instead of the normal minimum wage here in America — they are going to do it. What needs to happen, is there need to be stiff tariffs put upon all imports into this Country. This would encourage companies to open factories here in America.  Critics of this idea say that would cause the price of everything to go up. Not if the President warned companies not to engage in price gouging.

This idea is nothing new, Patrick Buchanan; someone who has been maligned by the left and by some on the right, because of his controversial views on World War II and foreign policy —- has been saying this same very thing for years. Some people would argue that taxes on small businesses are causing the problems; which is idiotic at best, because the majority of small businesses in this Country do not even have an effect of the Nation’s gross domestic product. It is, in fact, the big businesses, which in fact, ship jobs overseas, that affect that GDP.

Another thing too that I feel the need to bring up; Obama should not be entirely blamed for this whole mess that we are in. The majority of the problems that we are facing today, were caused the idiotic Carter and Clinton Administrations.  I will give credit to the President; he did handle the mop up of the failures of President Carter and Clinton with such grace and class; instead of finger pointing at his own Party, he simply came in and fixed the problem. The President did point the finger at Bush; which is common in partisan politics. One thing that Congress and the President did fail to do is eliminate the Adjustable Rate Mortgage loan; which was the very thing that caused the entire meltdown in the first place.

As for this poll; put simply, The President of the United States was handed a flaming bag of crap on his first day —– and was expected make diamonds out of it. The President might be many things, but a miracle worker is not one of them. Some things just cannot be fixed with the wave of a hand; our economy is one of them.
