This morning, the black flag of al Qaeda is flying outside the U.S. Embassy in Cairo and the U.S. Ambassador to Libya, along with 3 other Members of the Consulate staff are dead.
How did we get to this point?
It should NOT be unexpected!!!
Just a week removed from removing Jerusalem and any mention of keeping Hamas in check from the liberal convention platform, Obama has, once again turned his back on our most important partner by declining to meet with Prime Minister Netanyahu next week.
While God and Jerusalem WERE added back into the platform after unholy hell was raised by conservatives, the wording regarding Hamas was not.
It was Obama, the last time he and Prime Minister Netanyahu met, who TOLD the Prime Minister that Israel should return to their pre-1967 orders.
At that point, Prime Minister Netanyahu had to take Obama to school on the topic in a very public moment.
Obama told France’s Sarkozy that he was tired of dealing with the Prime Minister…A moment of clarity caught on a live mic.
Indeed, Obama, as president has never made the trip to Israel. He did it as a pandering candidate but, never as president and that too, sends an unmistakable message to Israel and their enemies.
And yesterday’s snub of a meeting with Netanyahu adds more fuel to the Islamist fire.
An American leader who professes to be a friend of Israel and devoted to the security of Israel, would, at this moment in world upheaval, drop everything to meet with Prime Minister Netanyahu. An American leader would stand with Israel and against our mutual enemies.
Over the last week, at both party’s conventions, there was one common theme.
Well…Sort of common theme.
Let’s say that the title of the theme was the same and leave it at that since that is where similarities ended.
That theme was…”The American Dream.”
Both parties talked about it. Both said they were for it.
It seems however, that they have two very different definitions OF it.
I suggest that to understand the “American Dream,” we need to step back from today’s contentious discourse.
From a literary standpoint, the tear, “American Dream” was made popular in 1931 in a book written by James Truslow Adams but, it’s not the origin of the phrase.
To find its origin as a written or spoken phrase, one must read Ben Franklin’s autobiography.
Clearly though, before something like that can be written, it must be conceived of and it’s quite possible, that concept began with the Pilgrims who longed for a land where they could worship as they saw fit.
America was accessible though far from their homelands, it offered security from their overbearing governments and it was a place from which they could have a new beginning.
It was dangerous. It was uncertain. Why…The trip TO America could kill you. There were no guarantees but there was…opportunity.
Eventually, the government control the Pilgrims had fled caught back up to them and again, rather than charting their own course and their own destiny, those who had sought freedom were again…Subjects.
Those who write for conservative sights were in agreement in the issue and substantially hammered the DNC for their stupidity.
This afternoon…in a STUNNING reversal…The DNC added God and Israel back into their platform.
Still omitted is language concerning Israels borders and restricting Hezbollah and liberals will STILL have to deal with THAT issue!
What is yet to been seen, are their explanations for first removing the wordings and then, returning them to the platform.
Simple oversight doesn’t cut it.
God, Israel and Hezbollah were removed from the platform on purpose. They do not fit the liberal/socialist agenda. It’s just that simple.
In fact, in the floor vote this afternoon…the NO’s outweighed the AYE’s to put the language back in and a woman could be heard off mic saying, “You’ll have to let em do what they want to do.”
THERE WERE CLEARLY MORE ONT HE FLOOR WHO WANTED GOD, ISRAEL AND HEZBOLLAH LEFT OUT OF THE PLATFORM THAN PUT BACK IN THE PLATFORM AND KNOWING THE RAMIFICATIONS OF CONSERVATIVE OUTRAGE…IT WAS REENTERED INTO THE PLATFORM ANYWAY!!!
What is the MOST stunning, is that conservatives, via broadcast media and social media, from websites to blogs, FORCED the DNC to alter their platform.
At least in modern times, this is the first time in my memory that such an event has occurred.
Think of the scope of what has just happened.
The challenger has forced the party of the incumbent, in a presidential election year, while at the incumbent’s own party convention, to make a substantial change in that party’s platform after it had been made public and adopted!!!
This is no doubt being seen by liberal insiders as a black eye. THIS is exactly what they COULD HAVE NEVER WANTED to have happen.
It appears that Obama himself, feeling the pressure from Conservatives, Jewish Americans abd Black Religious organizations insisted on the platform change but, he did NOT go far enough by leaving mention of NOT returning to Pre-1967 borders and the staunch language restricting Hezbollah and Hamas OUT of the platform!!!
The DNC, via this very public move today, has shown themselves to be in disarray.
Liberals screwed up by taking that language out of their platform.
CONSERVATIVES called them on the carpet for it.
Then…
After 24 full hours of telling conservatives that it was a non issue, after 24 full hours of liberals ripping into conservatives for bringing it up…AFTER 24 FULL HOURS OF LIBERALS BEING ON THE DEFENSIVE AND ACCUSITORY TOWARD CONSERVATIVES…
LIBERALS, ON THE FLOOR OF THE CONVENTION…ADDED THE LANGUAGE BACK INTO THEIR PLATFORM JUST AS CONSERVATIVES SAID IT SHOULD BE!!!!!
It took conservative Patriots, standing up and being heard, to force liberal/socialists to do what was right.
DO NOT LET UP…KEEP THE PRESSURE ON!!!
TOGETHER, WE CAN TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That it happened was not at all surprising but, WHEN it happened…THAT was astounding.
With near pinpoint accuracy, just as Debbie What’s-Her-Name-Schultz brought down the gavel to open the Liberal/Socialist Convention and Entitlement Fest…
The Debt Clock, the one featured SO prominently at the Republican Convention but, oddly nowhere to be seen at THIS week’s convention…
Clicked over $16 TRILLION DOLLARS.
Without question, both parties have had a hand in that debt.
Without question, Obama ripped George W. Bush for adding just over $4 trillion to it during his 8 years in office.
Without question, in less than HALF that amount of time, Obama had added $5,3 TRILLION to it.
Without question, Obama said he would cut it in half by the end of his first term.
Yesterday, when asked how he would grade himself on the economy, Obama answered, “Incomplete.”
Obama and his minions are kicking off their 2012 Liberal/Socialist convention amid what is understatedly, a malaise.
Yesterday, the day before the Occupy Charlotte event gets under way, was “National Empty Chair Day,” an event which was born from Clint Eastwood’s Republican Convention appearance which will stretch until the end of the Liberal/Socialist convention on Thursday.
Bolstered by a grassroots effort on social media, “National Empty Chair Day” was replete with a never ending display of creative images of empty chairs posted from sea to shining sea.
Conservative Patriots placed empty chairs everywhere they could think of. In front of their homes, in parks, on streets, the bottoms of pools, stacked, in rows, in offices…everywhere.
We, at The National Patriot, added in our own take on it…seen here.
Over the weekend, on the eve of “National Empty Chair Day,” Mount Suckmore…The giant sand sculpture of Obama outside the convention hall was damaged by heavy rain.
There are a few things from the start of the Republican National Convention which should surprise nobody.
First, we had Chuck Todd from the Obama propaganda wing known as NBC, stating that, “There are folks with the Romney campaign who think, ‘Boy, Romney can’t catch a break ever since he named Paul Ryan. He got a little momentum after the Ryan pick and then he’s disrupted by two storms. One, a political storm in Todd Akin which we just brought up. But now an actual storm, and when you think when this storm moves to and closer to Louisiana, the specter, the sort of shadow of Bush and Katrina does hang over this convention.
Seriously? THIS is where the liberal media wants to go?
If there is ANY specter or shadow of Katrina it casts itself directly over liberals.
Louisiana had a liberal governor who did NOTHING in the face of the COMING storm and woefully dropped the ball in its wake. The liberal media has, since Katrina, blamed Bush for not sending in the National Guard to evacuate people when, in fact, it would have been illegal to do so without the request of the state’s Governor. She failed to make that request.
It was also the prevue of New Orleans’ Mayor, another liberal, who fled the city for higher ground…IN DALLAS.
And let’s not even get started on the 10s of MILLIONS of dollars given to New Orleans to shore up their levies over the decades which decades of liberal officials spent elsewhere.
As the polls start to shift, the liberal LOONS are getting twitchier by the minute!!!
They’re seeing their grip on power slip faster t than their GRIP ON SANITY!!!
In desperation, they are grasping the thinnest of threads as they dangle over the abyss and knowing they are about to take the plunge…they seem more and more bent on trying to take us all with them!!!
But guess what?
We’ve GOT all our marbles and we believe in our values…AMERICAN VALUES and unlike the liberal lemmings…WE WILL NOT GO WILLINGLY OVER THE CLIFF!!!
My friends and fellow Patriots…Today is Friday and…
I’m fuming.
For GOD’s sake…
The Freedom From Religion Foundation dipsticks are at it again.
This time, all the way from Wisconsin, they are trying to force an investigation into a GEORGIA high school because the football coach ALLOWED LOCAL CHURCHES TO PREPARE PRE-GAME MEALS FOR THE TEAM!!!
When pressed, one week ago by reporters regarding the situation between Israel and Iran, white house tough question dodger, Jay Carney said we must allow the, “most stringent sanctions ever imposed on any country time to work.”
He went on to say that there was still a “window of opportunity to persuade Iran … to forgo its nuclear weapons ambitions.”
Really? Allow the “most stringent sanctions ever imposed on any country time to work,” for WHO exactly?
In the LONG run, or short, when have sanctions EVER worked?
And exactly WHO’S window of opportunity are we talking about???
I’ve got some breaking news for ya Carney…Israel doesn’t have time for sanctions to work because, sanctions always work for the timeline of those they are levied against.
Iran will not be brought to their collective knees by sanctions of any kind but they WILL use the “time” provided by “diplomatic efforts” to stretch THEIR window of opportunity to produce nuclear weapons.
Sanctions are nothing but a wagging of a finger by the United Nations and regardless of how vigorously it is wagged, the offending nation always flips their own finger at the free world in response.
It’s downright OBSCENE and exactly what we should expect from the world’s most corrupt organization.
Omar Al-Bashir, the Sudanese warlord and a man with a warrant out for his arrest by the International Criminal Court is about to be named to the United Nations Human Rights Council.
That warrant, by the way, is directly related to…GENOCIDE…Carried out by HIS regime in Darfur!!!
GENOCIDE!!!
The United Nations, by allowing such a vile MURDERER to sit on that council is literally making the ABSURD and VILE argument that…
GENOCIDE is a basic human right!!!!!
My God.
And just exactly who is “Omar the GENOCIDAL Maniac” replacing on the U.N. Human Rights Council???
Hair Brained Harry Reid who has offered such pearls of wisdom as these:
“The tea party will disappear as soon as the economy gets better and the economy is getting better all the time.”
“Until the Republicans get real, we can’t do [spending bills], because [House Republicans] have refused to adhere to the law that guides this country.”
“Last year, Amonix CEO Brian Robertson was tragically killed in a plane crash and unfortunately the company was unable to recover from this difficult time.”
“Today is a big day in America. Only 36,000 people lost their jobs today, which is really good.”
“This war is lost and the surge is not accomplishing anything.”
At one point Hair Brained Harry said THIS about John Roberts…
