RNC Convention" A Sharia Compliant Affair?

Thursday, 30 August 2012 | Written by Never Again Is Now

Penned Wednesday afternoon, August 1, 2012

Over the last three years I have received endless emails saying that we can't stop Obama, I'm wasting my time, that I am fool, he will never take military action against Iran: the American people are to weak to stop him.

Others claim they have emailed both their senators and congressmen demanding we stop Iran militarily, and they report these congressional leaders, "seem to be throwing up their hands and giving up." What a sad state of affairs. How can our congressional leaders behave in such a callous manner when so many people are in despair and frightened.

Congress: how many millions died to secure our freedoms? Is this how you honor them - by throwing up your hands and ceding victory to Iran, radical Islam, and the man in the White House. Do you no longer honor the Constitutional guideline that demands the President defend our nation from enemies foreign and domestic?

GOP: why are still posturing? Taking military action against Iran is a no brainer. It's one thing that President Obama continues to undermine the principles upon which our Constitution rest, but it's quite another when you say you will defend the Constitution from Obama's onslaught of it, yet you treat our Constitution with the same dismissive attitude.

Make no mistake - the Iranian threat is a Constitutional issue. Therefore our position must be that of George Washington, who said, "The Constitution is the guideline which I will never abandon."

Finally, after more three years of a deafening silence a true hero of America and Israel, Cong. Trent Franks, spoke from the well of the house to condemn the Obama administration's failure to stop the Iranian Nuclear Program. These are his words: Link ot full text

Mr. Speaker, there is no longer a single rational defense for the argument that Iran is not pursuing a nuclear weapons capability. So let me say this, and pray the members of this body and this nation understand, if Iran gains nuclear weapons, they will give them to terrorists the world over.

And still, as the centrifuges in Iran are spinning, the Obama administration is fiddling, and many members of this body stand by and contemplate. Have we lost our minds? FullText

Cong. Franks is alerting us that this is our generational moment: stopping Iran must be our top priority as Congressman Frank said "Jihadist terrorists the world over will have access to nuclear weapons and the world's children will forever have etched in their memory that moment in history when this government allowed the hellish shadow of nuclear Jihad to fall across their future."

GOP: the time has long past that you that fulfill your Constitutional obligation to demand President Obama honor his Constitutional pledge to protect our nation from enemies foreign and domestic. You must demand that President Obama takes action to launch a pre emptive strike against Iran's nuclear terrorist war machine NOW. Make sure it happens.

Failure to act means a doomsday scenario. You must let your intentions be known - we must not let the RNC Convention turn out to be a sharia compliant affair.

New Campaign launched by former CIA, Special Operations Members to combat leaks and politicization of National Security Info

Kicks Off Nationwide With Release Of Documentary Short Film Titled "Dishonorable Disclosures"

OPSEC Website: http://www.opsecteam.org/

Former CIA and Special Operations members are announcing the creation of OPSEC, a new nationwide public campaign to combat the spike in leaks and politicization of Intelligence and Special Operations missions that threaten their effectiveness and the safety of Americans who conduct them. OPSEC - short for Operational Security, meaning to eliminate or reduce the exploitation of critical information - will begin with the release of "Dishonorable Disclosures," a new documentary short film highlighting the problem from the perspective of those who have served in these critical positions. The film will also serve as the basis for a TV and online advertising effort.

"Intelligence and Special Operations members are angry and frustrated at how our work has been used for political advantage by officials across government, including President Obama himself who bears special responsibility as Commander in Chief," said Scott Taylor, chairman of OPSEC and a former Navy SEAL. "We want the American people to understand the cost of these leaks and politicization both on those who serve and on our national security and to hold those in positions of leadership accountable if it doesn't stop."

OPSEC is made up of individuals who served their country in the CIA, and Special Operations Forces (SOF) consisting of Navy SEALs, Army Special Forces, Marine Corps and Air Force Special Operations. It is organized as a 501(c)(4) nonpartisan public education campaign and is independent of any political party or campaign organization.

The campaign will begin with the release of "Dishonorable Disclosures," a documentary short film that views the impact of the increasing number of leaks on Intelligence and Special Operations missions, tradecraft, tactics and capabilities from the perspective of those who have relied on these tools to carryout similar missions and protect themselves and those they served alongside. The film will be shown at events in key states across the country over the next several months, including Virginia, Florida, Ohio, Colorado, North Carolina and Nevada. "Dishonorable Disclosures" can be seen here.

"Countless leaks, interviews and decisions by the Obama Administration and other government officials have undermined the success of our Intelligence and Special Operations forces and put future missions and personnel at risk," said Fred Rustmann, an OPSEC member and 24-year veteran of the Central Intelligence Agency. "OPSEC will carry a strong message across the country that it's time for President Obama and other administration officials to stop jeopardizing national security operations for political gain."

More information about OPSEC and news about the release of "Dishonorable Disclosures" can be found at http://www.opsecteam.org/.

Dishonorable Disclosures

Former Special Ops officers from four separate branches of the military have joined ranks for one specific purpose - to remove Barack Obama from office.

And now they need your help to do it.

Dear Fellow American,

During World War II, they had a poster up in every defense plant and military base in America.

It didn't mince words; it told it straight --

"Loose lips sink ships."

Well, now our nation is saddled with a Commander in Chief who just doesn't seem to get that message. Or, if he does, he simply doesn't care.

Let me lay it on the line: Barack Obama's loose lips are doing worse than sinking ships - they're putting our entire nation at risk.

And if you and I don't get this man out of office, he's going to destroy our military, undermine every ally we have, and arm our enemies to the teeth.

All for his own sorry political purposes.

That's why I am asking you to join me now in helping the Special Operations Speaks (SOS) PAC launch a nationwide campaign to remove Barack Obama from office. Before it's too late.

Demand Congress Hold the Obama 'Leakers' Accountable

http://specialoperationsspeaks.com/petition/petition-ptec

Now, I'm going to give it to you straight. Because after 27 years as a Navy SEAL officer - including serving as Commanding Officer of Naval Special Warfare Center, where our proud Navy SEALS train - I don't know any other way.

And, I think you deserve to know the truth.

Barack Obama has waged war on America's military from the day he took office.

He's already cut our defense budget so deeply that his own Secretary of Defense called it "devastating" to our national security. And the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff warned that because of Obama's cuts, "we would no longer be a global power."

Yet, while he is out gutting our military and yanking the guns from our troops' hands, he is also taking credit for every move our brave soldiers make.

All for political gain - even when it puts their lives at high risk.

Frankly, as a 27-year SEAL officer, that makes me angry. And I have a feeling it does you, too.

And that's why SOS needs your help now to bring the Obama travesty to an end.

A little over a year ago, when SEAL Team 6 took out Osama bin Laden, Barack Obama couldn't wait to scurry before the cameras and take full credit.

I'm sure you remember that sorry spectacle. His whole speech was "I" ..."I" ... "I" ... "I" ... "I."

As if he were the one who led the raid. As if he were the one who risked his life. As if he were the one covering his buddies' backs as they fought their way into that compound and back out.

Well, I can assure you that Barack Obama was not there. Those brave soldiers didn't need him. And they wouldn't have wanted him.

And there's something else they wouldn't have wanted either - Barack Obama blowing their cover the way he did.

Demand Congress Hold the Obama 'Leakers' Accountable

http://specialoperationsspeaks.com/petition/petition-ptec

Barack Obama's loose lips took away the vital secrecy Navy SEALS need to continue their undercover missions.

And because he rushed to get in front of the cameras before the SEALS could even analyze the materials they had recovered, he also destroyed any chance for an effective follow-up.

All because Barack Obama wanted to make himself look tough - at the shameless expense of those who actually are.

Now, a year later, we find out that while Obama was out front blowing military secrets, his staff was behind the scenes doing the same.

His Administration's backroom release of top secret documents to The New York Times has jeopardized covert operations worldwide. All for the cheapest of political purposes.

And it's time you and I put a stop to it.

That's why I am asking you now to help SOS expose the full truth about Barack Obama's war on America's military - and his administration's continuing, deliberate release of top secret security documents.

I want you to know that every one of the men and women who has joined me to organize Special Operations Speaks is a former member of our nation's Special Forces. Some are SEALS, some are Rangers, some are Air Commandos and some are Green Berets. The rest belong to other Special Ops units.

So, we know what happens when the soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines we have trained and served with have their cover blown, their tactics revealed, and their operations compromised.

Let's just say, when that happens, Barack Obama's loose lips don't just sink ships - they cost lives. The sacred lives of the best and the brightest.

The mainstream media, as I'm sure you've seen, is doing all that it can to follow Barack Obama's campaign script and portray him as some sort of brave warrior.

Day after day they ignore or cover up his "devastating" defense cuts, his phony chest-pounding, and his deadly revelations of America's top secrets.

And, unfortunately, millions and millions of Americans are not being told the truth.

That's why my fellow former Special Operations officers and NCO's and I have, in essence, come out of retirement one more time to strap on the gear and fulfill our oaths.

Demand Congress Hold the Obama 'Leakers' Accountable

http://specialoperationsspeaks.com/petition/petition-ptec

We are already working with key Senate and House leaders to demand full congressional hearings into the Obama intelligence leaks.

And we're prepared to launch a nationwide media blitz - TV ads, radio ads, news releases, and personal appearances throughout the country - to make sure the American people learn the full truth about Barack Obama's war on America's military.

I can promise you: We won't rest until the job is done. That's not our way.

But, to do all of this - and more - SOS needs your help today. The truth is, we can't do it without you. You are our back-up. You are our supply line.

So, I urge you, please give as generously as you can to help launch the Special Operations Speaks campaign.

Your gift of $25, $50, $100 - or more if you possibly can - will help assure that my fellow special operators and I can cover the backs of America's troops worldwide as they fight for our freedom.

And, together, you and I can help make sure we once again have a President who puts liberty before loose lips and our nation's welfare before political gain.

I can't wait to hear from you.

Sincerely,

Larry Bailey, CAPT (SEAL), USN (Ret.)

PS: Like most Navy officers, the date of June 15, 1985, is seared in my memory. That's the date Islamic terrorists hijacked TWA Flight 847 and brutally tortured Navy Seabee Robert Stethem to death. All he had to do was scream out for mercy, and he would have been allowed to live. But he refused to utter a sound.

The pilot of Flight 847 later said, "He was the bravest man I've ever seen in my life."

Bob Stethem's brother was a Navy SEAL; I know him. So, I know something of the stuff of which he was made. Warriors like him don't scream out, they don't beg for mercy, and they don't ask for help.

And that's why my fellow former Special Operations officers and I are asking for your help on their behalf today.

In 2008, when he was running for president, Barack Obama promised his leftwing supporters that if they helped him get elected, "I will slow the development of future combat systems."

That's one of the only campaign promises he has kept. And it has placed our brave warriors in harm's way.

Your gift of $25, $50, $100 - even $1,000 or more if you can possibly spare it - will help our Special Operations Speaks PAC bring an end to Barack Obama's war on the military. So, I urge you, please give as generously as you can.

White House Watch

Please give your attention to this important announcement from the Senate Conservatives Fund. From time to time, we send you content on behalf of third parties we believe may be of interest to you and we believe this one deserves your attention.

Fellow Conservatives:

If you want to stop the massive growth of our federal government and save America's future, we must change the United States Senate.

Harry Reid and the Democrats control the Senate today and, unfortunately, we still have too many Republicans who lack the courage to fight for our nation's founding principles.

As a Senator who works each day to stop the massive spending, bailouts, and debt that are destroying our country, I can tell you that we desperately need conservative reinforcements.

This is why I founded the Senate Conservatives Fund back in 2008 and it's why SCF is working so hard today to elect a new group of leaders in 2012 who will fight to turn this country around.

Will you help change the Senate?

The Senate Conservatives Fund has endorsed eight conservative candidates who will help strip Harry Reid of control of the Senate and fight the liberal policies that are bankrupting our country.

Josh Mandel Ohio

Jeff Flake Arizona

Richard Mourdock Indiana

Ted Cruz Texas

Deb Fischer Nebraska

George Allen Virginia

Tom Smith Pennsylvania

Dan Bongino Maryland

These eight candidates are unique in that they have conservative records, have earned support from the grassroots in their states, and have the courage to stand up for our values -- even if it means going against their own party's leadership.

These candidates support all of SCF's policy goals, including:

Cutting spending to balance the budget
Repealing Obamacare entirely
Securing the borders and oppose amnesty
Stopping corporate bailouts
Banning earmarks
Establishing term limits
Defending the 2nd Amendment
Protecting human life

The Senate Conservatives Fund is doing two important things to help its endorsed candidates win in November.

First, SCF is raising money for each of the candidates from donors all across the nation. Money alone does not win elections, but the lack of money can certainly lose them.

Second, SCF is running powerful TV and radio ads to counter the opposition and drive home our side's message of economic freedom and prosperity.

So if you want to do something really meaningful and effective to save our country, please support the Senate Conservatives Fund and its endorsed candidates TODAY.

Help Change the Senate ...

SCF makes it possible for you to donate directly to its eight endorsed candidates so they receive 100% of your donations.

This is a very unique approach for a third-party group and it shows exactly how committed SCF is to helping these candidates. It's also why the POLITICO newspaper called SCF a "wildly successful small-donor fundraising machine."

These are exceptional candidates who have overcome long odds to get this far, and now they urgently need your help to win in November.

Time is running out and we must work together to send true conservative leaders to Washington this year.

Thank you for doing what you can to help turn this country around.

Sincerely,

Jim DeMint
United States Senator

P.S. If we're going to save America, we must fire Harry Reid and change the United States Senate. Without a conservative Senate, we'll never stop the massive spending, bailouts, and debt that are destroying this great country.

Sept. 11, 2012: Come to Pamela Geller's Free Speech SION event at the UN Plaza in New York City

If you're anywhere near New York on 9/11, check out this invitation to attend Pamela Geller's FREE SPEECH event

SION to Hold International Congress and Media Workshop to Address Islamic Supremacist War Against Free Speech

The world's leading forces for freedom will be there. There is a suggested contribution of $36 per person. Register now, space is limited. September 11, 2012, UN Plaza Millenium Hotel, 3:00 pm - 7:00 pm.

Email: PamelaGeller@gmail.com to register.

NEW YORK: The first session of the International Freedom Defense Congress, the operating body of the human rights organization Stop Islamization of Nations (SION), will be held in New York on September 11, 2012. The principal focus of the Congress will be a media workshop pertaining to Islamic supremacist attempts to restrict the freedom of speech in the free world, and the smear campaigns against freedom fighters in newspapers and media institutions in the West.

"The objective of this first-of-its-kind workshop is to develop media-related mechanisms to address the smear campaigns," SION said in a statement. It will also address the media's double standard regarding Islam and other religions, as epitomized in March 2012 by the New York Times' running of an anti-Catholic smear ad and rejection of a SION ad telling the truth about Islamic jihad.

It said the workshop will discuss at length the reasons behind and the results of the Western media's offensive campaigns against freedom of speech and the truth about Islam, jihad, Islamic supremacism and Muslims, which it added still occur from time to time.

"The workshop will represent a quantum leap in media action, as it discusses, beyond rhetoric, the practical steps to address the phenomenon of the Islamic war against free speech," SION President Pamela Geller said. Fighting Back in the War on Free Speech Pamela Geller, March 18, 2012

Freedom fighters from all over the globe, journalists, intellectuals and academicians will be among the participants in the workshop, which will consist of brainstorming sessions to develop mechanisms for cooperation with external partners, and to develop an action plan to address the phenomenon of the Islamic war against free speech.

The organization noted that the workshop is of particular importance as it is the first ever to address the implications of Resolution 16/18 of the United Nations Human Rights Council, the stated goal of which is to "combat intolerance, negative stereotyping and stigmatisation of, discrimination, incitement to violence, and violence against persons based on religion or belief," but which is actually designed to restrict truthful speech about Islamic supremacism and jihad, so as to render the West mute and defenseless before the advancing threat of jihad and Sharia.

Resolution 16/18, which was adopted by the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva in March 2011, was backed by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at the most recent Istanbul Process Conference in Washington in December.

This is widely viewed as a significant step toward furthering OIC efforts to destroy the freedom of speech and impose Sharia blasphemy laws on the free world.

"We are holding this Congress on the eleventh anniversary of the day jihad came to America in order to strike a blow for freedom," Geller said.

SION President Geller is the author of Stop Islamization of America: A Practical Guide to the Resistance (WND Books) and The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration's War On America (Simon & Schuster). SION Vice President is the acclaimed author and Islam expert, Robert Spencer, author of the New York Times bestsellers, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades) and The Truth About Muhammad (both Regnery).

The SION Board of Advisers also includes Oskar Freysinger, a Swiss Parliamentarian and member of the Swiss People's Party (SVP), who won international renown for his leadership of the successful campaign against the construction of minarets in Switzerland; Cliff Kincaid, editor of Accuracy in Media (AIM) and a leader of the struggle to keep the jihadist propaganda network Al-Jazeera off American airwaves; Dr. Ashraf Rameleh, President of Voice of the Copts, an international organization standing up for the human rights of Coptic Christians and all religious minorities against religious bigotry and intolerance; Dr. Ali Sina, the renowned ex-Muslim author and founder of FaithFreedom.org; Dr. Wafa Sultan, the ex-Muslim human rights activist and author; the German pro-freedom activist Stefan Herre of Politically Incorrect; the Israeli author Dr. Mordechai Kedar; the Hindu human rights activist Babu Suseelan; Anders Gravers of Stop Islamisation of Europe (SIOE); and Canadian publisher and free speech defender Ezra Levant.

Speakers at SION's International Freedom Defense Congress will include Kedar, Rameleh, Sina, Kincaid, and Gravers, as well as Danish free speech advocate Lars Hedegaard; Italian human rights activists Magdi Christiano Allam and Valentina Colombo; English politician and freedom fighter Paul Weston; and renowned Muhammad cartoonist Lars Vilks. More speakers will be announced shortly.

SION stands for:

-- The freedom of speech - as opposed to Islamic prohibitions of

"blasphemy" and "slander," which are used effectively to quash

honest discussion of jihad and Islamic supremacism;

-- The freedom of conscience - as opposed to the Islamic death

penalty for apostasy;

-- The equality of rights of all people before the law - as

opposed to Sharia's institutionalized discrimination against

women and non-Muslims.

Philadelphia Tea Party Patriots

Dear Friends & Patriots,

Our time to influence our fellow citizens is dwindling and we must take advantage of every opportunity to both help and inform others in the time remaining. Sandy Slater, a member of Citizens for Constitutional Government, is also the President of the Bucks County Pro-Life Coalition. Her group will have a table outside of the Polish-American Festival & County Fair that is held on the grounds of the National Shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa. This is on 654 Ferry Rd. In Doylestown. Sandy's group will be selling roses for donations to Crisis Pregnancy Care Centers which offer alternative options to abortion. Along with selling roses to people coming and going to the Festival, there will be a couple of well constructed pieces of literature to distribute pertaining to 1st Amendment Religious Rights and where the Presidential Candidates stand on this issue. If any of you would be willing to volunteer for for this important endeavor, please contact Sandy at 215-538-1390 or 267-424-4519. Email is sandy4436@verizon.net. The Polish-American Festival runs Sept. 1st-3rd and the 8th& 9th from 12:00 -8:00pm. Volunteers to help distribute are welcome for ANY amount of time.

Act for America

Brigitte Gabriel to Speak
in Vineland, NJ! Brigitte Gabriel Leading Global Islamic Terrorism Expert

Brigitte Gabriel

CLICK HERE to view Brigitte's special video invitation!

It is my privilege to invite you to a special event featuring Brigitte Gabriel, Founder and President of ACT! for America. This event is free and open to the public and will be held at the following:

Chestnut Assembly of God
2554 E. Chestnut Ave.
Vineland, NJ 08360 Thursday, September 27^th at 7 pm

Ms. Gabriel will speak on the rise of Islamic radicalism in your community and in our nation. Her story of survival as a persecuted Christian living in a bomb shelter for 7 years will have you captivated and inspired! She will share how the events of 9/11 compelled her to start ACT! for America, the largest national security grassroots organization in the U.S.

The events over the past eighteen months have been a sobering wake-up call to America. Without question, the threats radical Islam poses to America have increased.

Brigitte will discuss these threats to our security and our freedoms, such as...

The growing threat of homegrown jihad, with the number of such jihadist plots skyrocketing over the past two years.
How terrorists are exploiting our porous southern border, often working with drug cartels.
The increasingly militant-and successful-effort by Islamists worldwide to suppress free speech and criminalize any criticism of Islam.
The growing Muslim Brotherhood threat and how Islamic sharia law is creeping into America.
How the history and doctrines of Islam are being misrepresented in public school textbooks and classrooms.

For a taste of what is in store for you, check out Brigitte's speech at one of our recent events:

http://www.tennessean.com/VideoNetwork/1271237687001/ACT-for-America-founder-speaks-at-anti-Shariah-conference-in-Nashville

You will hear first-hand how ACT! for America is successfully rolling back the tide of radical Islam...how we are winning legislative victories...how we don't have to live in fear or resign ourselves to the inevitability of the threats arrayed against us...and how we will prevail.

I encourage you to forward this email to everyone you know. They may forward it to someone they know who may not only attend, but will invite others to come! We are sending this email to our members in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland because we know from prior experience, that many people are not only willing to travel to hear Brigitte speak, but are willing to bring others with them.

I know those of you who have heard Brigitte will agree-you don't want to miss this! It will be an event people will be talking about for a long time to come!

Invite your friends and come join us in Vineland, NJ! We look forward to seeing you on September 27^th.

Yours for a Safe and Free America,

Guy Rodgers

A Brief History & Description of Agenda 21

By Kelly OConnell

Wednesday, August 1, 2012

insert picture Whether there is such a thing as a world plan for socialist domination must be answered by individuals pondering recent, sometimes strange confluences of world events. But if there were such a plan, would it appear in any clearer form that the United Nations Agenda 21 program?

Agenda 21 is a plank of UN policy encouraging the globe to embrace Sustainable Development, which conservatives understand as a code word for global Marxism:

Sustainable development sounds like a nice idea, right? It sounds nice, until you scratch the surface and find that Agenda 21 and sustainable development are really cloaked plans to impose the tenets of social justice/socialism on the world. At risk from Agenda 21; Private property ownership; Single-family homes; Private car ownership and individual travel choices; and Privately owned farms.

Agenda 21 remains to many, classic Marxism which must be rejected-as the Alabama legislature did recently.

I. Evolution of Agenda 21: Journey to Sustainable Development

The following is a brief evolution of Agenda 21, the UN program designed to help save the planet.

A. Ramsar Convention (1971)

According to the site for ANPED, the Northern Alliance for Sustainability, there were a number of International Environmental Agreements (IEA's) which came before Agenda 21. Of the 1131 listed Agreements and Modifications, ANPED singles out a handful as significant before Agenda 21, starting with the 1971 Ramsar Convention on Wetlands (Convention on Wetlands of International Importance, especially as Waterfowl Habitat). Another site, Texans Against Agenda 21, also states that the seed agreement for Agenda 21 was Ramsar:

agenda 21 -best explanation I have ever heard

SMART METER ALERT!

Dear Patriots,

Peco has stopped installing Smart Meters which are part of UN Agenda 21 (Sustainable Development). If you have had a Smart Meter installed on your home, you should immediately call Peco and tell them to remove it. These fires have been reported in other states after the meters were installed.

http://www.myfoxphilly.com/story/19289039/peco-halts-smart-meter-installation-program#.UCxNmtghRs1.facebook

For those that have already had the Smart Meter installed on their home, Peco will return, test the meter, and place a warning sign on the meter with a device that should a fire start, the meter will shut off. New reports are that Peco has switched overnight to another provider for these meters, assuring the public that these will be safe. Are we to trust this company, the same one that put fire hazards on 186,000 homes in PA?

Now is the time to act! The ball is in our court. I will be trying to go up to Harrisburg in September to push to get legislation out of committee. Maybe we are being given time to stop part of UN agenda 21.

Call PECO and tell them no to the "new technology" meters.

Thank you.

I commit to be a part of the global Tea Party movement the week of Restoring Love: FreePac &Constitutional Conference
I want to join a team - 9/12 Project, FreedomWorks, or a local Tea Party

Last night, Glenn focused on the importance of commitment. He was the first to admit, a lot of last night's show was something you had heard before - but it's important to start at the beginning and to make sure you know what you believe before you get put into action. And tonight, Glenn revealed ways for you to really get moving!

Tonight, the focus of the show was "Activate" - and it was all about the election and how you can make sure that one way or another - 2012 is a year for a mandate for or against the progressives. And if you think it doesn't matter just take a look at what is happening right now in Wisconsin. Progressives and unions are doing everything they can to make sure that Walker loses. It's a microcosm to what is happening around the country, and Glenn thought it was so important that he recapped it on tonight's show (in under three minutes!):

Dear Friends,

We have 78 days left to stop the American Nation from becoming the Obama Nation.

If we give this president four more years, he will finish the job of remolding America into a hard-core keynesian state resembling some of the most economically dependent

nations in Europe--in particular--Greece and Spain.

We do not have to travel down this road. We can change the course. You can help steer America in the right direction.

If you want an America where free enterprise is respected and ObamaCare is repealed,

and not the other way, stay in the area this summer & fall . Volunteer at Republican Victory Centers.

Attend local events promoting our region's Republican Congressional candidates--including our tri-state Republican US Senate candidates--Tom Smith (PA), Joe Kyrillas (NJ), and Kevin Wade (DE).

Today I am proud to announce the launch of a groundbreaking documentary that will rattle the political establishment. Citizens United Productions' newest film "The Hope and The Change" examines the surprising journey of forty Americans - Democrats and Independents - who supported and voted for President Obama four years ago.

The powerful voices in "The Hope and The Change" will resonate with many citizens across the country who are disillusioned with the Presidency of Barack Obama. This persuasive documentary will change many minds and get people off the fence and into the game.

That is why it is so important for as many people as possible to see it. The film will premiere during the RNC in Tampa next Tuesday (please register for free tickets NOW at www.CitizensUnited.org/RNC) and is set for a limited theatrical release in September.

The good news is that you can also be the first to order the film on DVD TODAY!

This 60 minute documentary follows the daily lives of hard-working Democrats and Independents through unscripted and unrehearsed interviews. Viewers will see how their nation's economy and society has changed over the past four years under the policies of President Obama.

The diverse cast of "The Hope and The Change" encompasses a broad cross-section of America's racial and socio-economic spectrum who come from seven swing states that experts say will decide the 2012 presidential election. Writer/Director Stephen K. Bannon and I traveled to Colorado, Florida, Iowa, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia to search out these authentic American stories from citizens who have lost faith in their President.

President Obama campaigned in 2008 on "Hope" and "Change" but these stories reflect the sentiment across America that the country has changed for the worse. The voices of everyday Americans in this film will have a major impact on the debates that are currently raging across America.

"The Hope and The Change" will be a powerful tool in your arsenal this fall as you discuss the fate of this country with your friends, family, and neighbors. Order it TODAY to watch and send to the people in your life who are undecided and apathetic about this election.

Sincerely,

David N. Bossie
President of Citizens United

P.S. The tapestry of real American voices in 'The Hope and The Change' will resonate with many citizens who are disappointed in the direction of the country. Help us get it into their hands by ORDERING YOUR COPIES TODAY!

I have some very exciting news! Citizens United Productions has just announced an all rights distribution deal for our newest film Occupy Unmasked with Magnet Releasing, the genre arm of Magnolia Pictures, owned by Mark Cuban and Todd Wagner. Magnet is giving the film a limited theatrical release with VOD in late September to be followed by the DVD release. I've attached the full press release at the bottom of this email.

While the Liberal establishment and mainstream media portray the Occupy Wall Street movement as organic and nonviolent, Occupy Unmasked reveals the sinister, organized, and highly orchestrated nature of its leaders and their number one goal: Not just to change government, but to destroy it.

Led by hugely influential conservative visionary, the late Andrew Breitbart, Occupy Unmasked delves deep beneath the surface of the Occupy movement to show its dark anarchist roots. Behind the largely naïve students and legitimately concerned citizens looking for answers stand those who advocate the use of violence, black bloc operations, and intimidation as protest tactics - the same tactics they used during the anti-war protests of the 1960's, anti-nuclear weapons protests of the 80's, WTO protests of the 90's, and the IMF protests of recent years.

Former leftists turned patriotic citizen journalists Brandon Darby, David Horowitz, Pam Keys, Anita MonCrief, Mandy Nagy, Lee Stranahan, and others take viewers into the Occupy camps around the country to see first-hand the truth of what is happening and who is at the heart of the movement. Exclusive footage and eyewitness accounts tell the story of the criminal activity and raw brutality in the camps - much of which has not been reported by the mainstream media.

Directed by Stephen K. Bannon (The Undefeated, Generation Zero), Occupy Unmasked is an eye-opening look at a startling movement that could have a dangerous impact on the future of America.

Sincerely,

David N. Bossie

President of Citizens United
Executive Producer of Occupy Unmasked

P.S. We continue to take pre-orders so be the first to own Occupy Unmasked on DVD by purchasing TODAY!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Magnet Releasing to Distribute Andrew Breitbart Doc OCCUPY UNMASKED

New York, August 6, 2012 - The Wagner/Cuban Company's Magnet Releasing announced today an all rights distribution deal for Citizens United Productions' documentary OCCUPY UNMASKED, one of the last projects featuring the late conservative icon Andrew Breitbart. OCCUPY UNMASKED was written and directed by award-winning director Stephen K. Bannon and produced by David N. Bossie. Magnet is giving the film a limited theatrical release day and date with VOD in late September.

"This film is controversial, and that's exactly the reason we want to ensure it can find its audience prior to the November elections," said Mark Cuban, co-owner of Magnet. "I look forward to our partnership with Citizens United Productions and to getting this film out to the masses."

OCCUPY UNMASKED takes viewers into the Occupy Wall Street camps around the country in New York, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., Portland, Denver and Oakland for an up-close look at what's happened there and who's at the heart of the movement, documenting criminal activity and raw brutality in the camps - much of which has not been reported by the mainstream media. In addition to Andrew Breitbart, the film features journalists Brandon Darby, David Horowitz, Pam Keys, Anita MonCrief, Mandy Nagy, and Lee Stranahan.

"I am proud to announce that Citizens United Productions is teaming up with Mark Cuban and Magnet to distribute OCCUPY UNMASKED, and elevate the film the Left does not want the American people to see," said Producer David N. Bossie. "This distribution deal will keep the groundbreaking work of the late conservative icon Andrew Breitbart alive for years to come."

"As a dear friend of Andrew's, I could not be more thrilled that this deal got completed and all Americans will have an opportunity to see one of Andrew Breitbart's final pieces of work," said writer/director Stephen K. Bannon. "This film is important because it sheds new light on the myth of the Occupy Wall Street movement. I know audiences across the country will be startled by what we uncovered in this explosive documentary."

When you think of the great presidential debates throughout history, there's Lincoln and Douglas in 1858, Kennedy and Nixon in 1960, and then there is Glenn's new live comedy stage show, Unelectable 2012.

Since Glenn couldn't personally visit every city in America on his Unelectable 2012 tour, he has decided that the final show will be simulcast LIVE in movie theaters all over the country, probably one in your town! Watch Glenn drown in his own sweat while you relax in air conditioning, eating nachos and Milk Duds.

This is an amazingly funny show, the kind of presidential debate that you'll never actually see because Glenn plays a candidate who tells the truth! Joined by the writers and performers of GBTV's sketch comedy show, The B.S. of A., many are saying it could be the funniest show Glenn's ever done, and it ends with an inspiring message that will have you on your feet full of hope. It's a night of fun the whole family can enjoy! With the election season we've got in front of us, this may be the only "funny-on-purpose" thing related to politics for years to come.

The Great Betrayal: Obama's Wars and the War in Iraq

Jul 18th, 2012

Daniel Greenfield's new Freedom Center pamphlet, The Great Betrayal: Obama's Wars and the War in Iraq, is an effort to understand the politics of the "war on terror" which has now reached a final punctuation point with the U.S. decision to speed its withdrawal from the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan (where success was once deemed so crucial to national security), and to practice an incoherent form of regime change in Libya while ignoring more serious threats in Syria and Iran.

The war on terror began, Greenfield shows, as an admirable bipartisan commitment soon after the tragedy of 9/11-an effort to transcend party lines not only to punish those who attacked our country but also to interrupt planning for further attacks and try to stop the international spread of the Islamic jihad behind the attacks. But the Democratic Party, with the honorable exception of a few individuals like Richard Gephardt and Joe Lieberman, turned its back on a war soon after authorizing it, and did so at a time when American troops were facing hostile enemy fire.

Although Senate Democrats on the intelligence oversight committee had been granted access to every piece of data available to the White House, they now accused President Bush of tricking them to secure their approval. In fact, their own about-face was entirely dictated by political considerations when a Sixties antiwar activist, Howard Dean, surged ahead in the Democratic primary polls and it appeared for a moment that Americans were on the side of retreat and capitulation.

Although regime change in Iraq had been official U.S. policy since Bill Clinton signed the Iraq Liberation Act of 1998, Democratic senators such as John Kerry who only months earlier had supported the war effort now launched demoralizing attacks on the American commander-in-chief and his troops in the field, stigmatizing it as "the wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time." If the truth was the first casualty of their war against the Bush administration, the second casualty was the principle of bi-partisanship that had guided foreign policy debates throughout the Cold War, the principle that "politics stops at the water's edge." Now partisan politics trumped security.

The unrestrained attacks on the Iraq War as illegal and unjustified went largely unanswered by Republicans who failed to call the Democratic saboteurs of the nation's war effort to account or to decry the risk their cynical attacks posed to American servicemen and women on the battlefield. As Greenfield demonstrates, the Democrats' partisanship had consequences not only in Iraq but elsewhere in the region: the paralysis that resulted from their "anti-war" campaign led straight to the destruction of Lebanon and the installation of a terrorist army, Hezbollah, there as a regime within a regime. And it emboldened an overtly Islamofascist regime in Iran not only to supply the IEDs responsible for most of our troop fatalities in Iraq but also to proceed with a nuclear program aimed directly at Israel and the West.

The Great Betrayal shows that Barack Obama's abandonment of Iraq is a betrayal of all the Americans and Iraqis who gave their lives to establish freedom in that country. And the result of his policies in Afghanistan has been as disastrous. While the President presented his rationale for pursuing war there as the pursuit of al-Qaeda, after abandoning his "surge" (which resulted in two thirds of all America's Afghan casualties there and the resurgence of the Taliban allies of al-Qaeda), he blithely prepared for withdrawal as if national objectives had been met.

"Losing our Sons": Documentary looks at domestic Islamic radicalization and jihadization

Charles Jacobs at Americans for Peace and Tolerance announced today the release of a trailer for their upcoming documentary, "Losing Our Sons", featuring Melvin Bledsoe - father of domestic terrorist Carlos Bledsoe aka Abdulhakim Mohamed who gunned down US Army recruiter Pvt. William Long at an Army-Navy recruiting center in Little Rock, Arkansas in June 2009. Melvin Bledsoe testified at the House Homeland Security Committee hearing earlier this month.

The upcoming documentary discusses how Bledsoe was radicalized by the Muslim Student Association in Tennessee and sent to terrorist training in Yemen with the written recommendation of the imam of a Nashville mosque. It also discusses how the agents of radicalization in the Nashville Muslim community have been aided by collaborators in the establishment media, politics and the so-called "interfaith" community.

Hillsdale constituion class

Hillsdale's New FREE Online Course:
The Progressive Rejection of the Founding and the Rise of Bureaucratic Despotism

Available to you, your family, your friends,
and all Americans.

Begins September 4, 2012 - Sign Up TODAY!

Dear Linda, In 2012 our Constitution is under assault like never before.

Even as I write, self-described Progressives are working to subvert the Constitution to replace it with an ever more expansive and intrusive bureaucratic despotism.

My name is Larry Arnn and I'm the President of Hillsdale College. You might have heard Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin and other conservative radio hosts talk about Hillsdale College.

The ongoing radical Progressive agenda poses a serious threat to the survival of free government in our great nation. At Hillsdale, we believe that a massive, nationwide education project to promote America's founding principles is the only way to defeat this Progressive agenda.

As one of our most loyal supporters, you've been an important part of Hillsdale's effort to educate Americans on the importance of preserving our Constitution.

That's why I want you to be one of the first to know about our brand new online course:

"The Progressive Rejection of the Founding and
the Rise of Bureaucratic Despotism."

The first class begins on Tuesday, September 4 and the final one will occur during the week of the national elections in November. I hope you'll sign up immediately.

[Register for this new course right now.]

In this no-cost, ten-week course, you'll learn from members of Hillsdale's politics department faculty - some of the nation's top scholars on the Constitution - about the history of Progressivism and how the movement has slowly chiseled away at our freedoms over the past century.

With Hillsdale's outstanding reputation as a leading academic institution, this course offers you a unique educational experience that you won't be able to get anywhere else.

Earlier this year Hillsdale offered its first online course on the Constitution. And in doing so it made a major impact with more than 275,000 Americans registering for "Constitution 101: The Meaning and History of the Constitution."
We expect our newest course - The Progressive Rejection of the Founding and the Rise of Bureaucratic Despotism - to attract even more attention. And I hope you will be one of the registrants!

Why is Hillsdale teaching a course on the Progressive movement?

Americans who believe in constitutional liberty and limited government need to understand what they're up against, so Hillsdale designed this course to teach Americans the history of Progressivism and how it continues to work to ignore and dismantle the U.S. Constitution.

From its intellectual origins in the late 19th and early 20th centuries with Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, to the massive government expansions under FDR's New Deal and LBJ's Great Society, to the third great expansion of big-government programs during the past three years, Progressives are making our country unrecognizable in comparison to the constitutional republic created by America's Founding Fathers.

To understand fully this attack on limited government constitutionalism, and thus to know what is needed to stem the tide, take Hillsdale's new online Constitution course, which starts on September 4 and concludes the week of the national elections in November.

PLEASE GO HERE TO REGISTER NOW.

AND, like all Hillsdale online courses, it will be archived online so that you can refer back to the lectures or access them at your leisure.

I have the privilege of delivering the first lecture, "The Founders' Constitution and the Challenge of Progressivism," and the final lecture, "Restoring Constitutional Government." All of the classes will be taught by Hillsdale College professors - the top teachers in their field and the same ones who instruct our students here on Hillsdale's campus.

[Go here to see the course's schedule and register]

I am proud, thanks to your past support and the support of many patriotic Americans, that Hillsdale College is teaching hundreds of thousands of Americans about the Constitution and its principles of liberty. This course is crucial for all Americans who want to understand the dangers confronting the Constitution and its principles today. I hope YOU will join us for this important course!

As President of Hillsdale College, I have devoted my life to education, and in particular to teaching about the American founding, its underlying principles, and subsequent constitutional history.

The last chapter in that history, covering the past century, tells a story about how the progressive movement has undermined the Constitution and replaced it with a bureaucratic despotism - if we are to recover the Constitution, that story must be understood.

That is why we are offering this new course, free, to all Americans.

[Please go here to enroll in our new Constitution Course: "The Progressive Rejection of the Founding and the Rise of Bureaucratic Despotism" Today]

The more than 275,000 who signed up for our first constitution course last spring prove that Americans are willing and eager to study and defend the Constitution and the principles that made our country the most free and most prosperous in human history!

I hope you will sign up for our new course and help continue this re-awakening of national interest in the Constitution.

Victory Center" on Facebook

-Gabriel Malor

Last week I had the opportunity to get a sneak-peek at the RNC's new Facebook application. Designed, in the words of one RNC staffer to "take our message where the people are," the Social Victory Center app will, among other things, hook users up with campaign news targeted based on their location and preferences (which Facebook already knows, of course), let users join volunteer efforts, distribute voter registration forms, and provide an online phone bank, all without leaving the Facebook website. It will also, if users wish, put those activities on the user's Facebook wall, letting their friends see what they're up to and, hopefully, encouraging them to join in.

It's an attempt to leverage Facebook's popularity in a new way and, at the moment, the Democrats have nothing like it. The Social Victory Center was unveiled to the public yesterday, so if you're on Facebook, check it out. As the general election ramps up, check back for volunteer activities as they're added. Also, like I did in 2008, I'll be pushing online phone banking in the final weeks of the election, only this time the RNC will have done the heavy-lifting that the McCain team wasn't too keen on.

RedState Morning Briefing

RedState Morning Briefing

For August 31, 2012

1. The Next President

What a difference a speech makes. As Ari Fleischer noted on CNN, the same media that was cool with the shallow vapidity of hope and change in 2008 is now demanding specifics from Mitt Romney. Last night in Tampa, he gave the one set of specifics he needed to give - a course correction.

The Democrats are screaming that it is a return to the 1950's, when unemployment was less than it is now. That is a talking point. Mitt Romney made a very simple case for himself last night: the President promised the oceans and the earth. He's just promising to help Americans. It was a modest plan with bold implications.

The speech was the best speech Mitt Romney has ever given. The material might not have been the greatest, but Romney himself delivered it with more substance than the text. The story of the rose will resonate. The desire for parents to have their kids piled up back on the bed will resonate. Mitt Romney will resonate.

Last night on MSNBC, viewers were treated to a spectacle akin to animals flinging poo in a zoo. They were unhinged. It was like Baghdad Bob had taken over. That the left is in such a meltdown is a very good sign for the GOP.

Now a word on Clint Eastwood.

2. Ryan's 'Fading Obama Posters' Line Spawns an Excellent Ad

Vice Presidential nominee Paul Ryan's speech to the RNC Wednesday night was addressed in no small part to the segment of the population that supported President Obama in 2008, but who were turned off enough by the last four years to consider an alternative in the upcoming election.

3. Paul Ryan's Horrible Janesville 'Lie': Accurately Quoting the President and Recounting Actual Events

Several of the statements made in Vice Presidential nominee Paul Ryan's RNC address Wednesday night have triggered strong reactions from the Obama campaign and its surrogates throughout the media. Shortly after Ryan's speech, Obama campaign manager Jim Messina sent out an email to supporters declaring "Paul Ryan's speech in Tampa was factually challenged" and "blatantly false," and claiming three separate times in one sentence that "[Ryan] lied."

4. Press Fact Checkers: Lemmings To Their Own Death

The press really is beclowning itself this election year. Like lemmings off a cliff, the press is running to its own ignoble death at the hands of an American public tired of spin and lies.

The last forty-eight hours clearly demonstrate the American press corp and Team Obama are working hand in hand to drive a narrative designed to advance Barack Obama's re-election. From claims of racism related to the GOP to Paul Ryan's supposed lies, the media is really self-destructing.

Destroy a liberal's argument by exposing the underlying rhetorical cheat.

NO. 3.
The motive fallacy. This is a common technique used by liberals to dismiss facts that don't suit their argument. For example: "Well I'm not going to believe anything X says about this. X is funded by Exxon." Simply point out that just because somebody has a reason to believe something doesn't necessarily mean what he believes is not true. As philosopher Jamie Whyte puts it: "A man may stand to gain a great deal of peace and quiet from telling his wife that he loves her. But he really may love her nevertheless."

Act for America

Muslim Brotherhood
consolidating control
in Egypt

Eighteen months ago, at the beginning of the so-called "Arab Spring," Brigitte Gabriel, ACT! for America president, issued loud and clear warnings about who would rise out of the ashes of Hosni Mubarek-the Muslim Brotherhood.

This has exactly what has come to pass (see a recent commentary from The Jerusalem Post below).

There were other voices-in the Obama administration, Congress, academia, the media-who dismissed such concerns.

These were usually the same people who have dismissed concerns about the threat of radical Islam to America.

They were wrong about what would happen in Egypt.

They're just as wrong about what's happening in America.

Analysis: Brotherhood taking total control of Egypt

By ZVI MAZEL

08/23/2012 03:24

While the world persists in looking for signs of pragmatism in the Egyptian president, Mohamed Morsy is quietly taking over all the power bases in the country.

Having gotten rid of the army old guard, he replaced them with his own men - officers belonging to the Muslim Brotherhood or known sympathizers. Then he turned his attention to the media, replacing 50 editors working for the government's extensive and influential press empire - including Al- Ahram, Al-Akhbar, Al-Gomhuria. He is now busy appointing new governors to the 27 regions of the country.

Hosni Mubarak used to choose retired generals he could depend on for these sensitive posts; Morsy is hand picking party faithful. At the same time upper echelons in government ministries and economic and cultural organizations are methodically being replaced. The Muslim Brotherhood is fast assuming total control. For many observers, the deployment of army units in Sinai is more about proclaiming Egyptian sovereignty in the face of Israel than actually fighting Islamic terrorism.

Drafting the new constitution is their next objective. Brothers and Salafis make up an absolute majority in the Constituent Assembly. Liberal and secular forces are boycotting its sessions, and the Supreme Constitutional Court is examining a request to have it dissolved since it does not conform to the constitution because of its overly Islamic composition; a decision is expected in September.

The assembly, however, is not waiting. According to various leaks it is putting the final touch to a constitution where all laws have to conform to the Shari'a and special committees will supervise the media and forbid any criticism of Islam and of the Prophet. In the wings is the creation of a Committee of Islamic Sages supervising the law-making process and in effect voiding of substance the parliament elected by the people, though it is not clear yet if, when and how it will work. What is clear is that a parliament made of flesh and blood individuals is against the very nature of the Shari'a, where all laws are based on the Koran and the hadiths. This is a far cry from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Heritage Foundation Morning Bell

Defending America Takes More Than "Hope"

Speaking to veterans at the American Legion conference this week, President Obama said, "Today, every American can be proud that the United States is safer, stronger and more respected in the world."

That's quite a statement from a President who has granted legitimacy to extremist organizations like the Muslim Brotherhood and promised the Russians he would be "flexible" toward their demands on missile defense, while slighting American allies like Poland and the Czech Republic.

Heritage defense experts call Obama's defense strategy "a strategy of hope": "a hope that big wars are a thing of the past; a hope that America's allies will do more; and a hope that fewer resources do not jeopardize the lives of American soldiers."

These are flimsy hopes in the face of hostile nations and terrorist groups that want nothing more than the destruction of America.

If we do not reverse course-strengthening our military instead of gutting it, providing true security for our allies, and getting real about the groups that want us dead-the cost will be American lives.

The Administration has made a lot of noise about "pivoting" America's security focus toward Asia. It is a vital region, but Obama's policies of cutting the size of the military are the opposite of what we need to secure the country's interests around the world. Heritage's Bruce Klingner and Dean Cheng explain:

A smaller Navy, Air Force, Army, and Marine Corps means a reduced U.S. presence overseas and, due to an even higher operational tempo, a greater strain on existing forces and equipment. Underfunding defense requirements could restrict potential U.S. policy options and increase the danger to U.S. forces during any future Asian engagements. And, ultimately, the price of such underfunding will be mission failure or American servicemen's lives.

Though Asia is important, the American homeland is still a target for terrorists, and terrorists are still training in the Middle East. Heritage's James Carafano has warned that "President Obama's determination to pull out from Afghanistan means the U.S. will leave the field with the enemy still standing." While al-Qaeda affiliates in Iraq are continuing violence daily, Carafano says that in Afghanistan, "after the American withdrawal, the Taliban may well sweep back and re-establish control of parts of Afghanistan. Al Qaeda could well follow, even as it continues to build up bases of operations elsewhere, particularly in the Middle East and North Africa."

As it stands now, America faces these threats with a military that is being hollowed out. Terrorists continue to try attacking us here at home. Our leaders must make defending America a priority and commit the resources to meet its challenges both at home and abroad.

As Carafano put it, "A belligerently aggressive Iran...an anti-democratic Russia...an expansive China...a wet-behind-the-ears 'Dear Leader' in North Korea...enduring threats from narco-terrorists and Islamist terrorists...there is every sign that, when Obama's four years are up, the world will be a potentially far more dangerous place than it was when he first took office."

Obama's America: 2012

The Roots of Obama's Radicalism

By Mark Alexander · August 30, 2012

"The republican is the only form of government which is not eternally at open or secret war with the rights of mankind." --Thomas Jefferson (1790)

Timed for theatrical release in advance of the Republican National Convention to nominate the Romney-Ryan ticket, Dinesh D'Souza's much-anticipated film "Obama's America: 2016" is earning great reviews and already ranks among the top-grossing political documentaries of all time. The film encourages the audience to consider where our country will be in 2016 if Barack Hussein Obama is re-elected.

Frankly, it's a great leap of faith to believe there will be an "America" in 2016 if Obama is re-elected -- at least one that we recognize. One need look no further than Obama's America in 2012 to see that most of what was left of our Republican government when he was elected in 2008 has been scheduled for demolition. As I've noted in previous columns, Obama's strategy is to irrevocably shatter free enterprise with a debt bomb shockwave.

Indeed, coinciding with Mitt Romney's keynote convention speech on Thursday, the acknowledged national debt will hit a mind-boggling $16 trillion. The foundation for tyranny has already been laid. (To grasp the concept of a trillion dollars, imagine a stack of $100 bills 678 miles high, or a briefcase full of Franklins that weighs 22 million pounds. Now multiply either of those images by 16.)

D'Souza's film is based on his books, "The Roots of Obama's Rage" and "Obama's America," in which he asserts that Obama's worldview was shaped most directly by the anti-colonialist views of his father, and that Obama is now intent on unmaking American so that he can remake it according to his worldview.

In a 2010 Forbes Magazine editorial on Obama, D'Souza concluded: "[Obama] is trapped in his father's time machine. Incredibly, the U.S. is being ruled according to the dreams of a Luo tribesman of the 1950s. This philandering, inebriated African socialist, who raged against the world for denying him the realization of his anti-colonial ambitions, is now setting the nation's agenda through the reincarnation of his dreams in his son. The son makes it happen, but he candidly admits he is only living out his father's dream. The invisible father provides the inspiration, and the son dutifully gets the job done. America today is governed by a ghost."

'Breitbart' as a Verb

A new film chronicles one man's war against media bias.
TAMPA, Florida -- The time elapsed between the exposure of David Chalian's hateful remarks and his firing as the D.C. bureau chief of Yahoo News was astonishingly brief. At 10:22 a.m. Wednesday, Matthew Sheffield posted video showing Chalian, accidentally caught in an open-microphone moment during an ABC News online broadcast, making a sick "joke" that Mitt Romney's presidential campaign was indifferent to suffering caused by Hurricane Isaac: "They're not concerned at all. They are happy to have a party with black people drowning." Within three hours, Chalian was fired -- "terminated effective immediately," Yahoo said in a press statement that included an apology to Romney, to the GOP nominee's campaign staff, and to "anyone who was offended." About a half hour after Chalian was fired, in a theater near the Tampa Bay Times Forum where the Republican National Convention is meeting this week, a new documentary film made its world premiere...

A Party of Trolls

Posted by Daniel Greenfield @ the Sultan Knish blog 23 Comments

With the next four years at stake, the only topic of conversation is the Race Card. The left plays the Race Card and then accuses the right of playing the Race Card. There are dogwhistles in the air that only white middle-aged pundits can hear and arguments over whose diverse lineup truly represents the philosophy of the future and whose is just shameless tokenism.

The media madhouse insists that a half-black man who went from the Illinois State Senate to the White House in 5 years is proof that we are a racist country and that Southern Europeans whose ancestors moved to this continent are an oppressed racial minority. Arguing with this insanity is a sure way to get called a racist. Ignoring this insanity means being charged with privilege. Privilege being the ungodly power to ignore someone else's assertion that privilege through victimization should begin and end every single discussion on every topic, up to and including the moon landing.

The Democratic Party and its media affiliates have become a party of trolls who only know how to hijack every discussion with an obsessive insistence that every issue can be boiled down to race and that the difference between the two parties is that one of them is racist and the other has good taste in fonts.

It's hard to know what the Democratic Party stands for anymore. All we know is that it is against racism. Never before has an entire election been run around a single negative issue that has absolutely nothing to do with the actual challenges facing the country. Instead we have the national spectacle of members of minority groups being pitted against each other by two parties to prove which of them is less racist.

Something is happening among Blacks voters: little reported polls show surprising Romney support

Aug 30, 2012 06:13 am | Coach Collins

By Emma Karlin, staff writer

Something is happening among Black voters and if the Democrats aren't scared they ought to be.

There are now at least three separate polls from three different states showing Barack Obama with African American support in the 70s. More than that an analysis of the Black vote in last spring's Arkansas Democrat presidential primary raises doubts about the actual level of support he has among African Americans. Obama won the Arkansas primary by 58/42 but when the votes of the 29 "significantly" Black counties were tabulated his lead shrunk by 8 points. In ten counties with Black populations between 19% and 41% Obama actually lost 38/62! Not all of this can be dismissed with "Well it's just a primary."

Democrats' America hating Islamists to open DNC with prayer for sharia to replace US Constitution

Aug 29, 2012 01:13 pm | Coach Collins

By Derrick Hollenbeck, staff writer

When the Democrat National Convention hate America festival gets started it will begin with a "Jummah" or Muslim prayer group. There will be about 20,000 people gathered for a celebration of the Islamists plans to eventually overthrow our government and replace our Constitutional government with a Sharia controlled theocracy. This begs the question: who will be there and what do they represent?

The leaders of the Jummah will be Jibril Hough and Imam Siraj Wahha. Both men have a long track record of hatred for America and our way of life - especially the freedom of women to live productive lives. These two are Islamists, both avowed enemies of America, have been invited to celebrate their plans for our demise in return for filling the otherwise empty seats the cameras might accidentally show during the main hate fest the Democrats themselves will be putting on.

August 30, 2012 15 States File Brief in Support of the Defense of Marriage Act
by Dominique Ludvigson
Richard and Helen DeVos Center for Religion and Civil Society

Fifteen states have filed an amicus brief in support of the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), urging the Supreme Court to review an appellate court panel's decision striking down the law.

Passed by broad bipartisan majorities and signed by President Clinton in 1996, DOMA defines marriage as between one man and one woman for the purposes of federal law and ensures that states do not have to recognize same-sex marriages entered into in states that have redefined the institution.

Like all congressionally passed laws, DOMA should be vigorously defended in court by the U.S. Department of Justice. That's not the case here. Instead, in an extraordinary move, the Obama Administration first undermined, and then abandoned completely, its defense of DOMA. The House of Representatives was forced to step in and provide a defense of DOMA in this and numerous other cases challenging the statute.

The states' brief in Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group v. Gill is highly critical of a First Circuit Court of Appeals panel's decision to invalidate the section of DOMA dealing with the federal marriage definition. That decision disregards binding Supreme Court precedent that would have foreclosed the challenge. It also invents a novel standard of judicial review to justify striking down an act of Congress in favor of the court's own policy preferences.

The implications of the panel's decision are troubling. The federal government differentiates between marriage and other relationships on the basis of their capacity for procreation. This differentiation is, according to the First Circuit panel's reasoning, constitutionally illegitimate. As the 15-state brief argues, this procreative rationale is a critical factor in the marriage laws in some 42 states. If the First Circuit's rationale striking DOMA on federal constitutional grounds is allowed to stand, the brief argues, it could threaten other marriage laws: "It requires no great leap of logic to conclude that a judicial declaration that DOMA serves no legitimate government purpose erodes the constitutional support for similar state laws."

As the building block for the rest of society, marriage's central civic purpose has always been to connect biological parents-especially fathers-to their children. As the states' brief argues, civil recognition of marriage "historically has not been based on a state interest in adult relationships in the abstract." Rather, "traditional marriage and benefit policies further state interests in responsible procreation by encouraging biological parents to remain together, a rationale that cannot extend to same-sex couples."

The institution's meaning is thus integrally linked to the social needs it is designed to address. "A constitutional doctrine that requires the same benefits for same-sex and opposite-sex couples must supply a coherent rationale for government recognition of both, not simply attack traditional marriage as antiquated or somehow ill-considered," the brief concludes.

A federal district court in Hawaii has declined to adopt the First Circuit panel's reasoning and upheld that state's definition of marriage as one man and one woman. In so doing, it bucked the all-too-common trend of courts short-circuiting democratic processes by judicial decree.

Debunking Medicare Reform Myths

Looking for the facts on premium support? Here's a summary of the most common arguments against premium support and why they don't hold up against facts:

"Premium support would destroy traditional Medicare." Under all of the major premium-support proposals, traditional Medicare is still an option for seniors. Seniors would be given a choice between the fee-for-service Medicare of today or private plans. Medicare would be forced to compete with private plans that have the potential to offer greater benefits at a lower cost.
"Premium support would 'privatize' Medicare." Medicare is highly privatized already. In a recent paper, Bob Moffit points out that almost all of Medicare is comprised of private agents or institutions that are financed by the public and have to follow public rules. In addition, Medicare Advantage (MA), which currently enrolls 27 percent of all Medicare beneficiaries, is comprised of private health plans that compete against each other, and the Medicare prescription drug benefit is provided through private plans as well.
"Premium support would leave Medicare patients at the mercy of rapacious insurance companies." Moffit writes that "every major premium-support proposal would retain or reinforce insurance rules that prevent 'cherry picking' or coverage denials based on health status."
"Premium support would increase beneficiary premiums." Moffit explains, "A transition from a defined benefit to a defined contribution would not necessarily increase premiums over current projections." The government contribution toward premiums would be based on competitive bidding among health plans in the market, tying it to real health spending trends.

Premium support is the only reform option that will ensure that Medicare is still around for future generations. It also has the added advantage of a long history of bipartisan support. Read the full paper for more myth-busting >>

Heritage Panel Says GOP Becoming More Conservative, Democrats More Liberal

by Nathaniel Ward

The Republican Party's effort to re-brand itself as more conservative at its Tampa convention reflects the two parties' increasing alignment around conservative and liberal ideas, a Heritage Foundation panel said yesterday on the Fox News Power Play.

Today's GOP is "more uniformly conservative in its view on a range of issues," Heritage vice president Mike Franc said. The convention speakers reflect the changed "ideological center of gravity, which now is comfortably to the right."

Heritage vice presidents Mike Gonzalez and Genevieve Wood, who are in Tampa to give voice to principled conservative ideas during the convention, agreed. The Democrats, meanwhile, have become more like a European social democratic party, Gonzalez said. Watch the video of the panel here.

What do you think? Are the parties aligning themselves around political ideas?

Heritage Expert Negates Liberal Arguments Against Voter ID

Liberal arguments against voter ID, like the claim that it suppresses voter turnount, simply aren't true, Heritage Foundation legal scholar Hans von Spakovsky said this week on WSJ Live.

In fact, he pointed out, states that recently passed voter ID laws have seen increases in turnout.

Moreover, Attorney General Eric Holder "isn't following the law" by fighting voter ID laws, he added, since there's no evidence the practice is racially discriminatory.

Von Spakovsky recently coauthored a book on voter fraud, Who's Counting?: How Fraudsters and Bureaucrats Put Your Vote at Risk.

Why do you think liberals are so dead-set against voter ID?

Heritage Work of Note

The runaway costs of Medicare require lawmakers to rethink the structure of the health program for seniors, Heritage Foundation scholar Stuart Butler writes in a blog post for the prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association. This "evolutionary" solution, Butler argues, contrasts with the "central planning" approach used in Obamacare and favored by liberals. The sooner these reforms are put in place, the better. Heritage has outlined a comprehensive solution to Medicare as part of our Saving the American Dream plan to get America's finances back on course.

Fight the Farm & Food Stamp Bill

By now you've gotten more than a few emails about the Farm and Food Stamp Bill. Thanks to conservatives like you, Congress hasn't passed this near-trillion dollar boondoggle yet; and, with continued pressure we may keep this behemoth on the run.

Unfortunately, with Congress home for the month of August, misleading myths about the Farm and Food Stamp Bill are popping up everywhere.

>> Cut through the Washington Establishment's spin by reading our Q&A on the Farm Bill.

Among other things, they're saying it "saves" money (only true if you believe Washington's accounting gimmicks) and contains helpful reforms (adding new programs and subsidies doesn't reform anything). As you spread the word about the need to defeat this bill, you'll need responses to these myths and other big-government arguments.

>> Use our Q&A to help stop the Farm & Food Stamp Bill.

Be sure to use the comments section of the post on our site to report any conversations you have about the Farm and Food Stamp Bill, and let us know if there are other specious arguments we need to respond to.

FCC Declares State of Internet Emergency: We Must Tax You!

The FCC is lying to America in order to push for a new Internet tax!

FCC

We were under the impression that the real emergency in this country was our failing economy and a President in the White House who consistently violates our Constitution.

Who knew that America was on a fatal path of destruction because a few million people don't have Internet speeds of at least 4mbps.

The FCC has released its eighth annual "Broadband Progress Report," and in it they push for a new Internet tax in order to accomplish what they say is an "immediate" need for every single person in the nation to have access to broadband Internet service.

The FCC has decided that broadband Internet deployment "to all Americans" isn't happening in a "reasonable and timely fashion" and that means you better open your wallet and take care of it right away.

The FCC's "finding" is not accurate at all, but it's the government, and if it's fixed, it is their solemn duty to find a way to break it.

Because a government agency without something to regulate and tax is quite useless, isn't it?

Fax Congress and Stop an Internet Tax!

Section 706 of the 1996 Communications Act requires the FCC to undertake the vague goal of making sure broadband is being made available to all Americans in that above-mentioned "reasonable and timely fashion."

And of course if they determine it is not, they must invoke their emergency powers and take action to make sure it is.

Trust us, this is a big-government power grab. And its another example of a "state of emergency" coming from the Obama administration designed to strip you of your freedom and your money.

First of all, the FCC claims that 6 percent of Americans (about 19 million people) don't have sufficient broadband service. But the FCC didn't include wireless and mobile service in their calculations, which drops the numbers down to 1.7 percent, or 5.5 million people.

But, even the FCC acknowledges that broadband isn't economically viable or even possible in some areas of the country. If you accept their finding that 19 million people don't have broadband-which we have already determined is faulty, but let's go with that-the FCC itself says that 14.5 million people live in rural areas where it would cost too much to build a broadband network.

And the U.S. Census reports that about 8 million Americans live in homes without complete plumbing.

Wouldn't you rather have a working bathroom over the ability to download a picture quickly?

"We have acknowledged," the FCC majority, writes, "there is no business case for broadband investment in some parts of the nation."

Yet, they'll take your money just the same.

Fax Congress and Stop an Internet Tax!

And, Join the Conversation on Facebook

What the FCC wants to do is impose a tax on you and put the money into the Connect America Fund, a subsidy program designed to expand Internet service across the nation. The money for this program is currently coming from additional fees on phone bills.

With the growth of the Internet, however, you can see that phone calls are a thing of the past. Right now you can quickly send an email, IM, text message, or other comment through social media and instantly reach the person you want to speak to.

That is why the FCC is looking to tax your online activities in order to get their money. However, the FCC argues that their proposal is not a "tax" but rather, a "fee."

Whatever they want to call it, it's a bad idea, and we need to fax Congress now and make sure they know what the FCC is up to.

Fax Congress and Stop an Internet Tax!

The FCC has decided that everyone needs broadband service and they need it NOW. But that is a faulty assumption, because even with such vast broadband coverage, and even where it is available, not everyone chooses to pay for it.

In our shaky economy, every dollar counts. So if you're going to cut down on something, losing a little speed on your Internet connection may mean the difference between getting that prescription you need or putting food on the table.

If the government gets involved and imposes a tax, you won't have that choice. You'll just be told, in typical Obama-fashion, to do what you are told and pay up so you can provide Internet service for people who may not even be interested in it!

And opponents of the tax argue that fewer people will purchase broadband if it's more expensive, so the tax will be ineffective from the start...except, of course, that it will punish those who want or need broadband.

An FCC-imposed Internet tax is just the beginning of what the government can and will do if we allow this to happen. The Internet is the great, untapped frontier, and government agencies at every level are looking to tap into it for tax dollars.

Fax Congress and Stop an Internet Tax!

And, Join the Conversation on Facebook

In May of 2010 the FCC tried to reclassify the Internet as a telephone service. That would have meant every aspect of the Internet could be regulated; and thankfully, the proposal failed.

They claimed a few years ago that broadband wasn't increasing at the appropriate speed and tried to push through net neutrality.

Now, despite glaring evidence that the Internet industry is doing just great without government interference, they are pushing an Internet tax-which of course also provides them with greater regulatory powers over your online business.

Former U.S. Senator John Sununu is a co-chair of Broadband for America (BFA). He said, "Reaching the last 3-4% of households is important, but the FCC itself recognizes the high investment hurdles those highly rural connections involve. To see the glass 3% empty instead of 97% full misses the important progress we're making as a nation.

The industry has changed the way people access technology and produced millions of high paying jobs. Even in the current economic climate, broadband related industries continue to grow and serve America."

High speed Internet didn't even exist in 1996 and today, at least 95% of all Americans have access to some kind of broadband service. Over $1 trillion dollars has been spent, almost entirely through private funding, to ensure this.

This is a failure, according to the FCC?

Fax Congress and Stop an Internet Tax!

And, Join the Conversation on Facebook

The FCC put out a "Request for Comment" in April. Now is the time to urge every Member of Congress to reject this proposal and urge businesses in their states to do the same.

Derek Turner, Research Director for Free Press, urges Americans to take action: "If Members of Congress understood that the FCC is contemplating a broadband tax, they'd sit up and take notice."

Don't let an unaccountable government agency tax you-speak up now against this Internet tax!

The FCC will likely wait until after the election to make a move, but that is less than three months away. Don't let Obama and the FCC launch an Internet tax in November or December because the American people didn't act fast enough.

Romney's Speech

Posted: 30 Aug 2012 03:07 PM PDT

(John Hinderaker)

These are the extensive excerpts from the speech that Mitt Romney will deliver tonight that have been distributed to the media. It looks like a relatively soft-focus, conciliatory speech:

Four years ago, I know that many Americans felt a fresh excitement about the possibilities of a new president. That president was not the choice of our party but Americans always come together after elections. We are a good and generous people who are united by so much more than divides us.

When that hard fought election was over, when the yard signs came down and the television commercials finally came off the air, Americans were eager to go back to work, to live our lives the way Americans always have - optimistic and positive and confident in the future.

That very optimism is uniquely American.

It is what brought us to America. We are a nation of immigrants. We are the children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the ones who wanted a better life, the driven ones, the ones who woke up at night hearing that voice telling them that life in that place called America could be better.

They came not just in pursuit of the riches of this world but for the richness of this life.

***

Every family in America wanted this to be a time when they could get ahead a little more, put aside a little more for college, do more for their elderly mom who's living alone now or give a little more to their church or charity.

Every small business wanted these to be their best years ever, when they could hire more, do more for those who had stuck with them through the hard times, open a new store or sponsor that Little League team.

Every new college graduate thought they'd have a good job by now, a place of their own, and that they could start paying back some of their loans and build for the future.

This is when our nation was supposed to start paying down the national debt and rolling back those massive deficits.

This was the hope and change America voted for.

***

I wish President Obama had succeeded because I want America to succeed. But his promises gave way to disappointment and division. This isn't something we have to accept. Now is the moment when we CAN do something. With your help we will do something.

Now is the moment when we can stand up and say, "I'm an American. I make my destiny. And we deserve better! My children deserve better! My family deserves better. My country deserves better!"

So here we stand. Americans have a choice. A decision.

To make that choice, you need to know more about me and about where I will lead our country.

***

My mom and dad gave their kids the greatest gift of all - the gift of unconditional love. They cared deeply about who we would BE, and much less about what we would DO.

Unconditional love is a gift that Ann and I have tried to pass on to our sons and now to our grandchildren. All the laws and legislation in the world will never heal this world like the loving hearts and arms of mothers and fathers. If every child could drift to sleep feeling wrapped in the love of their family - and God's love- this world would be a far more gentle and better place.

***

My mom and dad were true partners, a life lesson that shaped me by everyday example. When my mom ran for the Senate, my dad was there for her every step of the way. I can still hear her saying in her beautiful voice, "Why should women have any less say than men, about the great decisions facing our nation?"

I wish she could have been here at the convention and heard leaders like Governor Mary Fallin, Governor Nikki Haley, Governor Susana Martinez, Senator Kelly Ayotte and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.

As Governor of Massachusetts, I chose a woman Lt. Governor, a woman chief of staff, half of my cabinet and senior officials were women, and in business, I mentored and supported great women leaders who went on to run great companies.

***

Like a lot of families in a new place with no family, we found kinship with a wide circle of friends through our church. When we were new to the community it was welcoming and as the years went by, it was a joy to help others who had just moved to town or just joined our church. We had remarkably vibrant and diverse congregations of all walks of life and many who were new to America. We prayed together, our kids played together and we always stood ready to help each other out in different ways.

And that's how it is in America. We look to our communities, our faiths, our families for our joy, our support, in good times and bad. It is both how we live our lives and why we live our lives. The strength and power and goodness of America has always been based on the strength and power and goodness of our communities, our families, our faiths.

***

When I was 37, I helped start a small company. My partners and I had been working for a company that was in the business of helping other businesses.

So some of us had this idea that if we really believed our advice was helping companies, we should invest in companies. We should bet on ourselves and on our advice.

***

That business we started with 10 people has now grown into a great American success story. Some of the companies we helped start are names you know. An office supply company called Staples - where I'm pleased to see the Obama campaign has been shopping; The Sports Authority, which became a favorite of my sons. We started an early childhood learning center called Bright Horizons that First Lady Michelle Obama rightly praised. At a time when nobody thought we'd ever see a new steel mill built in America, we took a chance and built one in a corn field in Indiana. Today Steel Dynamics is one of the largest steel producers in the United States.

***

But for too many Americans, these good days are harder to come by. How many days have you woken up feeling that something really special was happening in America?

Many of you felt that way on Election Day four years ago. Hope and Change had a powerful appeal. But tonight I'd ask a simple question: If you felt that excitement when you voted for Barack Obama, shouldn't you feel that way now that he's President Obama? You know there's something wrong with the kind of job he's done as president when the best feeling you had, was the day you voted for him.

***

Today the time has come for us to put the disappointments of the last four years behind us.

To put aside the divisiveness and the recriminations.

To forget about what might have been and to look ahead to what can be.

Now is the time to restore the Promise of America. Many Americans have given up on this president but they haven't ever thought about giving up. Not on themselves. Not on each other. And not on America.

What is needed in our country today is not complicated or profound. It doesn't take a special government commission to tell us what America needs.

What America needs is jobs.

Lots of jobs.

***

To the majority of Americans who now believe that the future will not be better than the past, I can guarantee you this: if Barack Obama is re-elected, you will be right.

I am running for president to help create a better future. A future where everyone who wants a job can find one. Where no senior fears for the security of their retirement. An America where every parent knows that their child will get an education that leads them to a good job and a bright horizon.

And unlike the president, I have a plan to create 12 million new jobs. It has 5 steps.

First, by 2020, North America will be energy independent by taking full advantage of our oil and coal and gas and nuclear and renewables.

Second, we will give our fellow citizens the skills they need for the jobs of today and the careers of tomorrow. When it comes to the school your child will attend, every parent should have a choice, and every child should have a chance.

Third, we will make trade work for America by forging new trade agreements. And when nations cheat in trade, there will be unmistakable consequences.

Fourth, to assure every entrepreneur and every job creator that their investments in America will not vanish as have those in Greece, we will cut the deficit and put America on track to a balanced budget.

And fifth, we will champion SMALL businesses, America's engine of job growth. That means reducing taxes on business, not raising them. It means simplifying and modernizing the regulations that hurt small business the most. And it means that we must rein in the skyrocketing cost of healthcare by repealing and replacing Obamacare.

***

President Obama promised to slow the rise of the oceans and to heal the planet. MY promise...is to help you and your family.

***

We will honor America's democratic ideals because a free world is a more peaceful world. This is the bipartisan foreign policy legacy of Truman, and Reagan. And under my presidency we will return to it once again.

***

The America we all know has been a story of the many becoming one, uniting to preserve liberty, uniting to build the greatest economy in the world, uniting to save the world from unspeakable darkness.

Everywhere I go in America, there are monuments that list those who have given their lives for America. There is no mention of their race, their party affiliation, or what they did for a living. They lived and died under a single flag, fighting for a single purpose. They pledged allegiance to the UNITED States of America.

That America, that united America, can unleash an economy that will put Americans back to work, that will once again lead the world with innovation and productivity, and that will restore every father and mother's confidence that their children's future is brighter even than the past.

That America, that united America, will preserve a military that is so strong, no nation would ever dare to test it.

That America, that united America, will uphold the constellation of rights that were endowed by our Creator, and codified in our constitution.

That united America will care for the poor and the sick, will honor and respect the elderly, and will give a helping hand to those in need.

That America is the best within each of us. That America we want for our children.

If I am elected President of these United States, I will work with all my energy and soul to restore that America, to lift our eyes to a better future. That future is our destiny. That future is out there. It is waiting for us. Our children deserve it, our nation depends upon it, the peace and freedom of the world require it. And with your help we will deliver it. Let us begin that future together tonight.

The Stuck Pig Squeals

(John Hinderaker)

You can tell that Paul Ryan really stung the Democrats last night, by what the party's leaders are telling their faithful. This is from Barney Frank, in an email titled "clever:"

John -

Paul Ryan is a rigid far-right ideologue and a clever politician.

That's a dangerous combination - especially in an election where ultraconservative billionaires like the Koch Brothers are spending millions to ensure that their extreme right-wing agenda becomes a reality.

The Democrats can't get through an email without mentioning the Koch brothers. Can these ritual references possibly have any effect? You wouldn't think so.

Unlike some of these Tea Party Republicans, Ryan understands that much of what he wants to do is very unpopular with the American people. He'll do everything he can to avoid the specifics of his plans to end Medicare, privatize Social Security, and give Mitt Romney a 1% tax rate.

Notice that now Ryan is "a clever politician" who tries to hide his agenda from voters. That is, of course, the exact opposite of the Democrats' line when Mitt Romney announced his choice of Ryan as vice-presidential nominee. Then, the Democrats claimed they were licking their chops because Ryan is such a blunt spokesman whose positions are well known. Oh-that reference to "giv[ing] Romney a 1% tax rate"? What is that all about? I have no idea; sheer fiction, apparently.

This one came in just a little while ago, from Mike Ryan, Policy Director of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. It is titled "it was brazen." (The Democrats apparently don't like capital letters.)

John -

Last night, Paul Ryan brazenly lied to the country. Repeatedly.

He lied about Medicare. He lied about Obamacare. He even attacked President Obama for a GM plant that closed while George W. Bush was still President.

Well, that settles that then! As it happens, the GM plant in question closed in April 2009, when this local television report aired:

To be fair to the Democrats, they might actually believe that George W. Bush was president in April 2009. I say this because they always attribute the spending during the first year of the Obama administration to Bush.

What all of this means is that Ryan hurt the Democrats badly last night. As usual, rather than responding in any substantive manner-but then, how would they?-they lash out blindly. The one thing I can't figure out is how Ryan could have hurt them so seriously when so few people were watching.

Reader Peter Rice lives near the site of the Republican National Convention and is attending as a guest. He has kindly sent us this brief set of observations of the convention so far:

1. Republican speakers continue to highlight and celebrate champions and to present themselves as champions, such as Condi Rice as the little girl in Jim Crow Alabama who grew up to become Secretary of State.

2. The criticisms of Obama and Democrats were mild and few.

3. Condi Rice and Paul Ryan gave great speeches (in content and delivery) and were VERY well received. New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez, who was little known beyond New Mexico, gave a great speech that was well received in the 10:00-11:00 PM time period. I read that ABC News did not cover her, but rather bashed her.

4. The atmosphere of all (except the Obama State Media) in the St. Pete Times Forum (hockey/basketball arena) was very upbeat, very cheery. A couple times an hour a band next to the speaker's stage would play one or two songs with dancing by many delegates on the arena floor.

5. As for the nature of those in the arena, on the floor, and in the passageways around the arena, there are a lot of delegates/guests/volunteers under 30, and everyone was upbeat/happy. I do not remember seeing any tattoos, rings on faces, or purple or similar hair. I did see lots of miniskirts/dresses both in the passageways and on the delegate floor.

6. For Tuesday and Wednesday night speakers there were NO introductory speeches, rather just an announcement on the speaker system of who was next. This is very different from two or three introductory speeches at the conventions of 20 to 40 years ago. I understand that Thursday evening Marco Rubio will introduce Mitt Romney.

No word on tonight's mystery guest...

UPDATE: Kevin Williamson's got the word.

COUNTDOWN TO VICTORY: 68 DAYS TO THE 2012 ELECTIONS

The Romney/Ryan Revolution Begins

Representative Paul Ryan really fired up the crowd last night! His speech was energetic and hopeful. But Ryan also made clear the real distinction between Obama's statist, big government philosophy and our belief in free markets and democratic capitalism. It was a good balance between attacking Obama and promoting Mitt Romney.

Ryan had several great applause lines in his speech. Here's what may have been his best line of the night:

"College graduates should not have to live out their 20s in their childhood bedrooms, staring up at fading Obama posters and wondering when they can move out and get going with life."

Ouch! That line appealed to a broad swath of the American electorate. It struck a blow to a core pillar of Obama's support -- the millions of young voters who bought into the hype about hope and change. Now many are depressed and stuck.

It appealed to parents whose kids have moved back home or never moved out. Some may have even voted for Obama too, but I hope it is obvious to them now how Obama's policies have hurt their children's future and are holding them back.

Ryan also slammed Obama for constantly making excuses and blaming Bush, asking, "The man assumed office almost four years ago -- isn't it about time he assumed responsibility?"

But Ryan really brought the delegates to their feet when he spoke about values and America's founding principles. Here's an excerpt:

"We believe that in every life there is goodness; for every person, there is hope. Each one of us was made for a reason, bearing the image and likeness of the Lord of Life.

"We have responsibilities, one to another -- we do not each face the world alone. And the greatest of all responsibilities, is that of the strong to protect the weak. The truest measure of any society is how it treats those who cannot defend or care for themselves.

"Each of these great moral ideas is essential to democratic government -- to the rule of law, to life in a humane and decent society. They are the moral creed of our country, as powerful in our time, as on the day of America's founding. They are self-evident and unchanging, and sometimes, even presidents need reminding, that our rights come from nature and God, not from government."

Thank you, Congressman Ryan, for not shying away from the Republican Party's commitment to the sanctity of life!

Rice Delivers Powerful Tribute To America

I haven't always seen eye-to-eye with former Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, but I am glad she got a major speaking role at the GOP convention. She is one of the most popular Republicans in the country today and is widely respected not only for her intellect but also for her life story. And last night she captivated the audience in Tampa and in many living rooms across the country with her profound love and appreciation for this great nation.

The left is obsessed with America's shortcomings and alleged failures. So much of the left -- like the Occupy Wall Street movement, which was embraced by every Democrat from Obama down -- is motivated by animosity toward America. They believe that America is bad and broken, and that's why they want to "fundamentally transform" America.

Last night Condoleeza Rice stood before the country as a living example of the American Dream, and she talked eloquently about what that dream means to people all over the world. Her view of America is quite different from the left's -- that this is still a country where you can accomplish great things, not because of government, but because of family, friends and your own ambition. Here's what she said about her own life:

"And on a personal note -- a little girl grows up in Jim Crow Birmingham -- the most segregated big city in America. Her parents can't take her to a movie theater or a restaurant. But they make her believe that even though she can't have a hamburger at the Woolworth's lunch counter, she can be President of the United States and she becomes the Secretary of State."

How do you duplicate that with a government program?

My friends, this is why family and values issues matter! Sadly, so many children are growing up today without parents to encourage them, and no government program can make up for the breakdown of the family.

Huckabee: Evangelicals Must Stand With Romney

Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee also delivered a great speech, full of self-deprecating humor and a few well-aimed zingers at Obama. But Huckabee took a moment to speak directly to a key element of the GOP base -- evangelical voters. He reminded them about why this election is so important and why they should vote for Mitt Romney. Here's what he said:

"Let me clear the air about whether guys like me would only support an evangelical. Of the four people on the two tickets, the only self-professed evangelical is Barack Obama, and he supports changing the definition of marriage, believes that human life is disposable and expendable at any time in the womb or even beyond the womb, and tells people of faith that they must bow their knees to the god of government and violate their faith and conscience in order to comply with what he calls health care.

"Friends, I know we can do better!

"The attack on my Catholic brothers and sisters is an attack on me. ...This isn't a battle about contraceptives and Catholics, but of conscience and the Creator.

"I care far less as to where Mitt Romney takes his family to church than I do about where he takes this country."

Matters of faith are extremely important to evangelical voters. I appreciate that. But in the political/cultural battle that we are in, Catholics, evangelicals, Orthodox Jews and members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints are all on the same side. Mitt Romney may not share our faith, but between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, it is clear which man is closest to our values!

COMMENTARY:

School Choice: Passing the Test
By Ed Feulner
Encouraging trends suggest that the status quo in education won't necessarily remain the status quo much longer. The trend is flowing away from government control -- and toward parental control.

Democrats Shaking in Their Boots
By Ben Shapiro
The Republican National Convention started off as an anxiety-ridden, soggy, depressing mess on Monday morning. By Tuesday night, the Democratic Party and Barack Obama in particular had to be an anxiety-ridden, soggy, depressing mess.

Paul Ryan's Night
By Rich Galen
When Paul Ryan began his acceptance speech, he seemed a little flustered. I wondered whether he would be seen by the vast media conspiracy as having been upstaged by Secretary Rice.

On Today's Program

Don't miss Tonight's RNC Coverage: Make sure to watch TheBlaze TV's (formerly GBTV) exclusive LIVE coverage of the RNC tonight for Mitt Romney's big speech. It all starts at 7pm ET, directly following Real News - Start your 14 day free trial and tune in tonight.

Don't miss Paul Ryan's electrifying speech from night two of the RNC! WATCH

Another failed Paul Ryan "Fact Check"
It didn't take long after the Ryan speech for the Obama team to start firing off emails claiming Ryan is the worst liar this planet has ever seen. Stu and the journalists over at TheBlaze have taken a look at all the claims from the left to see who's telling the truth and who's full of it.

The worst political point in history? This is what desperation looks like...

MSNBC's lead socialist Larry O'Donnell showed just how desperate things are for the left. When read a quote by the Republicans bashing Obama for the amount of golf he's playing, Larry tried to explain what the RNC was really trying to say with the golf joke. You will not believe how bad this point is -- seriously.

E.D. Hill: Paul Ryan just made Obama look old, outdated, unhip

Glenn interviewed E.D. Hill on radio today to talk about day 2 of the Republican National Convention. She made an observation that Glenn felt was spot on - Paul Ryan actually made Mr. Hipster-in-chief look old, outdated and lame. And that's before he got into any substance, which of course was so devastating to the left they immediately went into attack mode. Check out Glenn's interview with E.D. HERE.

RNC duo try to top Stu & Pat's epic 'serving others' speech fail?
While Paul Ryan was fantastic, there were a lot of painfully bad speeches at the RNC yesterday. McCain showed America why he lost by double digits to Obama, Portman and Pawlenty made Romney look electric, and 2 Florida political bigwigs did their best to top Stu & Pat's epic 'serving others' speech fail at Restoring Love - WATCH.

Mark your calendars: On September 15th in Cincinnati, Ohio Glenn will be appearing at "A CALL TO ACTION RALLY" hosted by FreedomWorks. Glenn will be unveiling a historic project - one that will turn grassroots energy into unprecedented action. You DON'T want to miss this exciting event. Get your tickets now!

What's Ann Coulter think of the RNC so far?

Glenn talked with one of the best minds in the conservative movement today, Ann Coulter. With two days of the RNC down and another big night tonight, how does Ann think the GOP is doing with its message to the American people so far? Take a look at the interview from radio today - WATCH.

Calling all College Students! On Wednesday, September 5th, in our Dallas studios, we'll be doing a special studio audience show focused on liberal bias on college campuses across the country. Yale Professor David Gelernter is coming down to join Glenn on set. We are looking to fill our audience with about 50 smart, enthusiastic and conservative college students. Please email tickets@theblaze.com if you will be in the Dallas area and are interested.

How well do Stu and Pat know each other? After years of broadcasting together one would think Pat and Stu know each other pretty well. But how well? Watch this clip to find out!

Dreading the first school year as empty nesters? Why not celebrate with your spouse? Migliore Gourmet Foods offers a delicious line of tasty gourmet treats to enhance a romantic dinner for two.

Over 65? Leftists think you are all done being productive in society: Obama and the left view people over 65 as a liability and someone who needs government to take care of them. Glenn tells the story of one person who didn't become a success until after he was 65. Who was it?

See Glenn at the movies! The last show of Glenn's comedy tour, Unelectable 2012, will be simulcast live in movie theaters nationwide on Thursday, September 20th. Many are saying it could be the funniest show Glenn's ever done, and it ends with an inspiring message that will have you on your feet full of hope. Get your tickets and all the details!
