Month: September 2012

Dear Mr. President

  I listened to your speech last night.  I’ll admit before anything else, that I didn’t watch all of it.  I saw the final 20 minutes.  I’m sorry about that; I just really needed to make a Costco trip. Of the section I did hear, I wanted to mention a part that I really liked and, I will admit, even caused me to get goose bumps. When you spoke about families finally having the privilege to say to their loved ones serving in our military “Welcome home”, I agreed wholeheartedly.  That, Mr. President, is a mission we can all agree...

Democrat Delegates Disenfranchised

  On Wednesday afternoon, 5 September 2012, I listened to a recording of activity at the Democrat National Convention (furnished by the good offices of the Hugh Hewitt Radio Show) that evoked emotions ranging from raucous laughter to seething rage to visceral fear. This, of course, was the Orwellian puppet show of Governor Ted Strickland (D-OH) offering an amendment to the Democrat platform to place God and Jerusalem as the capital of Israel back into the document. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa (D-Los Angeles), head of the Democratic National Convention, declared that the issue required a 2/3 vote in the affirmative (hint, hint).  The...

DNC Chair Villaraigosa’s Moment of Horror

For those of you who didn’t listen to Hugh Hewitt play this clip 20+ times on his show yesterday, I wanted to post it in all of its glory for you to see. The DNC Chair Antionio Villaraigosa calls for a vote to add an amendment to the DNC platform that would reinstate the party’s belief in God as well as their recognition and support for Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. I’ve viewed and listened to the clip going on 30 times now and I still can’t help but have a mischievous chuckle when he can’t decide what to...

Oh No the DNC Does NOT Support Israel!

  Tuesday afternoon former Congressman Robert Wexler strode out on the DNC Convention stage as Gary Glitter’s Rock and Roll Part 2 pumped up the smallish 20K crowd. With almost no introductory words, Wexler dove into the reason for his appearance as Obama’s Jewish advocate, “Four years ago I stood at the convention podium in Denver, affirming Barack Obama’s heartfelt, steadfast commitment to the state of Israel. Over the past 4 years, the president has proven this commitment time and again, in both word and deed.” What? He has? Funny, I don’t remember any trips to Israel? Here’s an...

Grading the President

  President Obama told reporters his job as President deserves an incomplete. Obama said this while asking for the American people to let him finish his job. However, the job of president is not a class you can just fail and retake. Obama has said previously he deserves a B+, or an A- if he passed a healthcare law. To fairly grade the President, compare his “syllabus” of promises to what he actually accomplished. One of Obama’s key promises was a healthcare bill. This was one of the few things the president actually got done, but it somehow did...
