Conventional Differences

I
could have called this piece, “Go ahead, make my day.” The inclusion of Clint Eastwood’s brilliant
speech at the RNC in Tampa was magical, and the media uproar it spawned
afterward was comical. I even heard
some folks on the right excoriating the 82 year-old actor for “rambling and
being nonsensical” of all things. If I
make it to 82, (and it ain’t that far away for me) I can only hope my mind and
delivery are as clear as Mr. Eastwood displayed in that speech! His timing was impeccable, his delivery
clear as bell, and his meaning was unmistakable. What more do you people want?
Talk
about “rambling and nonsensical” – that perfectly describes everything coming
from the desperate DNC if you ask me. I
think they all forgot what they were actually there in Charlotte for that
week! It certainly wasn’t to sell their
platform to a majority of Americans, or to make us all feel better about who’s
been in charge for the last four years.
In a word, it just reminded us of “failure.”
Not
only that, but it took a pointed look at failure by harkening back to the likes
of stellar Democrat failures from Jimmy Carter to John Kerry, with an
especially nauseating look at Bill Clinton.
This trip down Memory Lane merely succeeded in punctuating the abject
failure that IS Barack Obama, and he personally put that icing on the cake at
the close of the convention.
I
won’t even bother to sum up all the lies and half truths this bunch threw
around on the convention floor, but it is interesting to note that even some in
liberal loving mainstream media couldn’t avoid pointing out some of the real
doozies.
Okay
gang, so the conventions are all over and the campaigns now swing into high
gear. I say we could be in for anything
over the next few weeks, so hang on to your hats.
I
didn’t much more than finish writing that sentence when the bottom fell out in
the Middle East. While this
administration’s foreign policy has been little more than an abject failure,
now we have it to directly thank for the mayhem in Egypt and Libya on September
11th of all days! How’s that
“let’s not make the radical Muslims mad at us” policy working out for you? Funny, considering the aforementioned
Democrat Convention kept reminding everyone that Obama killed Osama – like THAT
wouldn’t be a call to violence for those Stone Aged, dung brained,
hypocritical, devout users of the Mecca mats!
So,
now we have two of our embassies breeched, one ambassador, and at least three
other Americans dead, and we are supposed to be stupid enough to believe that
some YouTube video is responsible for it all?
Not only that, but Mitt Romney should have kept his mouth shut about it
and let Boy Wonder act presidential?
Well,
here’s my take on the whole thing. Assuming
we can even make it to the November election, and after that to a January
swearing in ceremony, if any shred of the real America is left, we better hope
that ignorance takes a holiday on election day and stays home! I will not tolerate any holier than thou
types trying to give any reason at all for either voting for the Democrats or
not voting for the Republicans. You bet
there are conventional differences between the two parties. One caters to and promotes ignorance while
the other seems to be wiping more sleep out of their eyes. We will need to keep pumping caffeine into
the victorious Republicans perhaps, but at least they might give us a fighting
chance!
U.S.
foreign policy is going to remain in shambles until a few things happen. The American people as a whole – Muslims and
everybody else – must begin to act like they understand foreign policy to at
least an elementary level. Before I go
any further, I’d better define that level.
America was founded and built upon an ideology of individual
freedom. We have tried our best to
share as much of that precious and valuable commodity with as many in the rest
of the world that say they also want and value it as we can, but we do not wish
to insert ourselves where we are not wanted.
By the same token, we will defend our homeland and the well-being of our
national interests without apology for that ideology.
Whoever
ends up in governmental power here should know that they are being scrutinized
by an ever watchful bunch of individuals who understand a lot more about
securing freedom for ourselves than the power hungry elites ever do. We are going to start demanding real
accountability, and that includes receipts for every government expenditure. Think of us as individual citizen IRS agents
and fear us as much as we are supposed to fear you. If you ever get the idea that you can secure your never ending
power by way of enlisting as many mindless sheep, group-think, lazy, criminal
idiots as it takes to win the next election, forget it. They cannot keep you in power and money long
enough to do us any more harm because we are awake now.
