Preview of the Democrat convention

This won't take long. It will kick off with 2 hours of Islamic Jumma prayers, it will feature hours of Bush bashing and Obama boasting of his accomplishments. There will be intermittent outbursts from people cheering their own destruction, and the curtain will fall to thunderous applause and Oprah crying her eyelashes off.

First thing I noticed is the setting for the DNC. They have remodeled the Bank of America stadium. 

The colors for the RNC were red, white and blue, and from what I've seen so far, the Dem's colors are grey, black and blue.

Are you (we) better off today then you (we) were four years ago? 

 

Today, the Democrat National Convention opened and today, the national debt clock hit 16 Trillion dollars.

According to Lou Dobbs, Fox Business Channel....

The average income four years ago was $49,600 and today it's $45,800. 

Today 31% of mortgages are underwater.

Today, there are 46.7 million people on food stamps costing us 75.7 Billion dollars.

Today, the average price for a gallon of gasoline is $3.82.

Where is Joe Biden? I haven't heard anything about his appearance. Plenty about Clinton, but nothing about BIden.

Just listened to Sebelius, Obama's secretary of Health and Human Services, speak. She's a Catholic hypocrite who got on stage and championed the culture of death. 

She said Obama was cracking down on fraud! When? inbetween playing golf and campaigning for another 4 years? 

She pumped up Obamacare especially women's healthcare, (like contraceptives and abortion is truly healthcare, but that's another discussion!). 

The Dems claim the Republicans are waging war on women!!! They really think we are idiots. Pushing the pill is waging war on women. 

Three Things Everyone Should Know about the HHS Mandate

 

It is a remarkable time in current events when we witness a major media outlet calling out a liberal president for disregarding the moral tenets of the Catholic Church. But that’s exactly what happened when the USA Today editorial board concluded that the Obama administration’s so-called contraceptive mandate “not only crossed the line. It galloped over it.”

The accompanying opposing view authored by HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius is breath-taking in its audacity. The USA Today editorial actually did a decent job of debunking three lines of defense that the Obama administration is spouting. While a much longer treatment is called for, here’s three quick facts that everyone should know:

1) It’s an abortifacient mandate; not just a “contraceptive mandate.” The HHS rule requires large employers to provide insurance for free sterilizations, abortion-inducing drugs, and artificial contraceptives. Our side would do well to refer to it as the “abortifacient mandate.”

2) The religious exemption is absolutely meaningless. The so-called religious exemption is written so narrowly that, as one commentator noted, even Jesus and his twelve disciples wouldn’t qualify. Here’s why: A “religious employer” is defined in the rule as an organization that meets all four of the following criteria: (1) the organization’s purpose is the inculcation of religious values (Catholic food banks are out); (2) the organization primarily employs persons who share the religious tenets of the organization (Catholic universities are out); (3) the organization serves primarily persons who share the religious tenets of the organization (Catholic hospitals are out); and (4) the organization is a nonprofit that is a house of worship or religious order. Given that houses of worship and religious orders exist with a mission to serve the least amongst us regardless of their faith, that means requirement (3) is not met, so everyone is out.

3) Contraceptive drugs are carcinogenic. It’s one thing for Secretary Sebelius to champion the pill for what she sees as a requirement for women’s freedom and autonomy. That’s an argument for another day. But the secretary goes beyond that to claim that artificial contraceptives “have significant benefits for [women’s] health, as well as the health of their children.” Well. It’s hard to believe that the secretary is not aware that combined estrogen progestogen oral contraceptives (COCs) are classified as “Group 1: Carcinogenic to humans” by the International Agency for Research on Cancer of the World Health Organization. The American Cancer Society website has published that list, where the pill ranks along side asbestos, coal tar, benzene, and tobacco products.

Secretary Sebelius and the White House claim the HHS mandate “respects” religious liberty. They’ve shown about as much respect for the First Amendment as they have for the truth.

I could only take listening to Harry Reid for a few minutes...

He's the leader of the Senate who hasn't passed a budget in 3 years!

They're not in BofA Stadium.  They're in a hockey arena for everything but the Thursday night Coronation.

NBC's Williams, Gregory, Mitchell & Todd falling all over themselves & drooling about what a 'rising star' the Hispanic Mayor of San Antonio is.  Anybody catch how they characterized Rubio?  Or Susana Martinez?  Or Ted Cruz?  Or Brian Sandoval?  Or Luis Fortuno?  So far, all I've heard is 'nothing but tokens'.

I ask sincerely since I didn't watch the first night of the RNC.

I watched about 1 minute of Michelle Antoinette and could take no more. There was a time when they were watchable. I hope Mitt and Paul landslide these miserable sacks.

The polls are so all over the place that I think reality is totally eluding them.  My gut says Mitt wins big, that the media echo chamber has them convinced BO will hang on by the skin of his teeth if they can somehow drag him over the finish line.

A little OT, but here's a hysterical critique of Mitt's acceptance speech.

And another take from a... slightly different angle, but still hysterical.

First line says Republicans like to use words which remind everyone that Obama is Black.

How can that be when Obama's mother was White and his father was Arab...maybe a smidgeon of Black from someone?

My mistake. Still, the hockey arena is dark, drab, grey, black and blue. (maybe the balloons and confetti at the end will be patriotic red white and blue!)

I listened until she started on the political wonderment of her husband...according to her Obama cares, cares, cares, ....

well, caring begins at home and he definitely doesn't care about his Kenyan family.

Michelle said we can trust Obama (government).  Ya, to take us over the cliff. 

 

I have NO CONFIDENCE in Obama and his BIG GOVERNMENT.

They've packed the convention into a smaller venue than usual* (think Cow Palace in contrast) and the networks have conveniently turned up the volume on the background noise to make it sound 'more enthusiastic' than the RNC.  They labored mightily to make the RNC dull & uninteresting, mostly by not showing anything but the headliners and throwing cold water on anything and everything said or done with their incessant 'fact-checking', something oddly missing from the DNC coverage.  Weird, isn't it?

*In fairness, the RNC was in a similar size arena with seating capacity of ~20k, but with a little different configuration which made it look bigger.

Why do they do that?  How do the Democrats at all stand for what the papers stand for?  Why does the reporter's stance matter?  Did they pay more for the coverage?

The Dems chant "4 more years" of Obama. Last night the DNC affirmed my NO CONFIDENCE in any of the pervert party of Death.


The Dem platform had one mention of God, and this year it was removed, yet no one seems to know or will admit who was responsible for removing it. It's being reported that Obama knew about it. I'm wondering if he demanded it? 

Once news of this hit the fan, a motion was put forward to re-instate And the vote was taken in front of the whole world.

The Dem platform demands unlimited taxpayer-funding for abortions right up to birth and during birth for any and no reason. Does this also mean taxpayer-funding for "aborting" babies after birth and who survive abortions, the position Obama championed when he was an Illinois State Senator because, "A woman paid for a dead baby and she should get what she paid for."? Just asking.

Speaking right before Clinton was Miss Sandra Fluke. Remember her? Fluke testified under oath before Pelosi's Congressional committee that she spent over $2000 per year on birth control. She meant "contraceptive" pills, but they are available free or at very low cost, under $100 per year. The only way Fluke could spend over $2000 per year is if she is using abortion for birth control, and she would need 3 or 4 abortions every year to run up a bill of $2000. So is Fluke using abortion-as-birth-control and demanding we fund it for her and all who are as promiscuous as her? Just asking.

Fluke has certainly moved up into the Oval Office. Last night at the DNC podium, she told America she is Obama's poster girl for sexual promiscuity, and they stood up and clapped their hands proudly. 

Fluke's last line was about choice. From the beginning of time, we have been offered a choice between good and evil, life and death. Deut. 30:19, Our Heavenly Father told us to "..choose life..". I'm listening to God. 

Joe Biden. It's the last day and still no mention of him. Normally the Vice President gives his acceptance speech on the second Convention day. This time Biden has been sidelined by Bill Clinton. Does this mean Obama thinks having Biden-speeches of the "Putting y'all (Black people) back in chains" variety is less damaging than replacing him with the Legitimate Rapist In Chief, Bill Clinton (Jennifer Flowers, Kathleen Willey, Juanita Broderick, and counting)? Just asking.

I've watched enough of the Democrat National Convention...I just can't take it anymore.

What’s going on here?

Another oddity about the DNC convention that doesn't make sense and can't be explained. Why did DNC originally take God out of the Party statement and the recognistion of Jeruselum as the capital of Israel? And then why did they decide to put the mention of God back even after the voice vote seemed to oppose the measure? Now the photo composit of Russian ships in the American veterens tribute????  Seems to be a pattern but who knows why?  JC

Russian ships displayed at DNC tribute to vets

On the last night of the Democratic National Convention, a retired Navy four-star took the stage to pay tribute to veterans. Behind him, on a giant screen, the image of four hulking warships reinforced his patriotic message.

But they were Russian warships.

While retired Adm. John Nathman, a former commander of Fleet Forces Command, honored vets as America’s best, the ships from the Russian Federation Navy were arrayed like sentinels on the big screen above.

These were the very Soviet-era combatants that Nathman and Cold Warriors like him had once squared off against.

“The ships are definitely Russian,” said noted naval author Norman Polmar after reviewing hi-resolution photos from the event. “There’s no question of that in my mind.”

Naval experts concluded the background was a photo composite of Russian ships that were overflown by what appear to be U.S. trainer jets. It remains unclear how or why the Democratic Party used what’s believed to be images of the Russian Black Sea Fleet at their convention.

A spokesman for the Democratic National Convention Committee was not able to immediately comment Tuesday, saying he had to track down personnel to find out what had happened.

The veteran who spotted the error and notified Navy Times said he was immediately taken aback.

“I was kind of in shock,” said Rob Barker, 38, a former electronics warfare technician who left the Navy in 2006. Having learned to visually identify foreign ships by their radars, Barker recognized the closest ship as the Kara-class cruiser Kerch.

“An immediate apology [from the committee] would be very nice,” Barker said. “Maybe acknowledge the fact that yes, they screwed up.”

The background — featured in the carefully choreographed hour leading up to the president’s Sept. 6 speech accepting the Democratic Party’s nomination — showed four ships with radar designs not used in the U.S. fleet.

For example, the ship in the foreground, on the far right, has a square radar antenna at the top of its masthead. That is the MR-700 Podberezovik 3-D early warning radar, commonly identified as “Flat Screen” for its appearance, a three-dimensional early warning radar mounted on the Kerch, said Eric Wertheim, editor of “Combat Fleets of the World.”

Similarly, the third ship has a MR-310 “Head Net” air search radar, shaped like two off-set bananas, at its masthead and is mostly likely the guided missile destroyer Smetlivyy. The first two ships seem to be Krivak-class frigates, but it’s hard to discern from the silhouette, experts said.

But the fact they are Russian ships is not in doubt. In addition to the ship’s radar arrays and hulls, which are dissimilar from U.S. warships, the photo features one more give-away: a large white flag with a blue ‘X’ at the ships’ sterns.

Polmar, who authored “The Naval Institute Guide to the Soviet Navy,” recognized the blue ‘X’-mark: “The X is the Cross of St. Andrew’s, which is a Russian Navy symbol,” Polmar said. (An anchored U.S. warship, by contrast, flies the American flag on its stern.)

Based on this specific group of these ship types, one naval expert concluded that this was most likely a photo of the Black Sea Fleet.

“Ships are all Black Sea Fleet,” A. D. Baker III, a retired Office of Naval Intelligence analyst, told Navy Times after looking at the image. “These four ships, at the time the photo was taken, constituted the entire major surface combatant component of the Black Sea Fleet,” Baker said, noting the photo was likely to be six years old or older. (The Kerch is now on the list to be scrapped, Baker said.)

Barker, the former sailor who first spotted the errors, believes the seven aircraft streaking by are F-5 jets, a trainer used by the U.S. Navy. Asked to explain how he reached that conclusion, the former airplane spotter ticked off a list: “Twin engine, single rudder, with hard points on the wingtips, with that silhouette is going to make them F-5s.”
