ANSWER THE QUESTION…YES OR NO!!!

During a presidential election year, there is one pressing question which must be answered. Especially if you are the incumbent.

Reagan was the first to pose the question and, in the closing months of the 1980 election, the answer propelled him to the white house over Jimmy Carter.

Today, that same question is being asked and the answers from the incumbent’s party are…

Astonishing.

Are you better off than you were 4 years ago?

It’s a simple question.

It’s a question which requires a one word answer.

Are you better off then you were 4 years ago?

Yes or…No?

Well, at least it seems like a straight forward question.

Early this morning, in an interview, Gretchen Carlson posed that question to Minneapolis Mayor Archie Ryback.

Rybacks response was stunningly confusing.

Liberals in Full-On Meltdown Mode

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.

Today’s One and Only Convention Speech

Today, at the Convention, not much is going to happen. They’ll gavel in…Go into recess…And hit the cocktail parties because of the big storm.

All the speaker who were scheduled to orate today from the podium, have had their slots shifted and some, like the Governors of the gulf states, have far more important thing to attend to.

ALL the speeches set for today…ALL of them, ar postponed.

All but one.

I figured that, since the podium was open…

Why not?

(ahem)

Greetings to…well…nobody in particular.

I saw on NBC News a couple of days ago, where Neil Young died. This came as quite a shock to me and, I’m reasonable sure, to Neil Young.

It was Neil Armstrong who passed away but, to NBC…Really…What’s the difference? One was an American Hero who became the first man to walk on the Moon and the other is a guy who horned his way into somebody else’s band.

I’m sure NBC’s coverage of this convention will be filled with the same attention to fact as their announcement of the passing of Neil Young.

Hey, Obama…What Happened???

It was just 4 years ago that things were SO different.

What happened?

That is the question which must be haunting Obama night and day.

4 years ago, he was a rock star and today, a has been.

4 years ago, anything that had anything to do with him was a mob scene with people pushing and shoving to just get a glimpse. Even if they couldn’t get close enough to see, they could say they were there.

Last week, in his Windy City, a fund raiser was, like his glass, half empty.

Perhaps it was the price of admission.

$51.00 per head.

That’s right, Obama only managed to half fill a room at just fifty one bucks per person. That would have NEVER happened just 4 years ago.

The Battle Hymn of the 2012 Election

Over the weekend, I was struck by the words of Paul Ryan at a rally in Manassas Virginia.

It was how he opened his comments.

What he said has been the clarion call of conservatives since the 2010 midterm election.

As the music played at each rally announcing Paul Ryan as Mitt Romney’s running mate, I could help but think…

We need an anthem. No…We need a battle song.

What we DON:T need is a rehashed song bent and twisted to meet the need. Any old song will do if that’s the criteria.

No.

What we need is a  song, written by someone who feels the way WE do. A song which expresses OUR clarion call.

We need a song which speaks directly to US, of who WE are and to what WE must do.

It needs to be a song OF the People, BY the People and FOR the people.

That’s why, when I heard Paul Ryan’s opening words in Manassas on Saturday…I knew EXACTLY what our song should be.

EXACTLY!!!

If you are not yet familiar with Ava Aston…You should be.

A while back, I found the song that she wrote and it shook me to the core.

Obama…STFU You Lying Sack of CRAP

So desperate is the liberal press to demonize conservatives that they will, as Rahm Emanuel so famously put it, “Never let a crisis go to waste.”

They continue to fall on their collective faces in the process.

It really started with the advent of the Tea Party movement.

Labels like “Astroturf” didn’t stick so, liberals tried a more demonizing approach by attempting to slap labels like, “angry mobs” “insane” “violent” “racist” and others on the Tea Party faithful.

All those labels were manufactured and false.

Try as they may, liberals just couldn’t make the labels stick because the actions, the demeanor, the nature and the principles of conservatives just kept proving them wrong.

Then came the horrible happenings in Tucson Arizona back in January 2011.

That’s when Congresswoman Gabby Giffords was shot along with many others and 6 people, including a 9 year old girl were killed.

Instantly, the liberal media jumped all over the crisis, not wanting to let it go to waste and they, as fast as they could, labeled Jerod Laughner as a right wing extremist who was prompted into his horrific actions by Sarah Palin.

Wrong again.

Laughner had not a hint of a tie to any conservative organization nor to Sarah Palin in any way, shape or form.

No matter. The left and their media are would not be swayed from their chosen but, clearly false path.

Along came the tragic event in Aurora Colorado.

Muskets Would Have Never Been Issued

Yesterday, the town of Depoe Bay, Oregon, cancelled their annual Independence Day fireworks celebration. This had been a well attended tradition since 1993.

By well attended, I don’t just mean that people turned out to watch the display but, they made a day of it and it had become a great boost to the local economy. Shop owners and restaurants, lodging establishments and gas stations had come to rely on the annual celebration.

Now, it’s gone and for what?

The birds.

That right, because of a bunch of Brandt’s Cormorants that apparently nest a mile from the bay where the fireworks USED to be shot off.

It seems there’s a bunch of bird brains who are scared that the Cormorants are scared of the fireworks and, well, they just can’t have THAT now, can they?

Sorry but, I’m not buying it.

It makes one wonder though, doesn’t it? Where we would be today had liberal/socialist, tree hugging namby pambies been ruling the roost 236 years ago?

Let’s take today’s liberal mentality and head back to the birth of this nation, shall we?

WILL WE DO WHAT THE SCOTUS FAILED TO DO?

With today’s Supreme Court ruling, upholding Obamacare as Constitutional, the American People have LOST their individual sovereignty.

By allowing the federal government to MANDATE the American people purchase a good or service under the TAX code and not the Commerce Clause…The Federal Government now has a clear and unhindered path to MANDATE the purchase of ANYTHING any administration deems appropriate!!

The THREAT that the federal government would REMOVE ALL MEDICARE FUNDING from individual states should they OPT OUT of Obamacare HAS BEEN FOUND UNCONSTITUTIONAL!!!

Does this mean that the High Court has ruled that individual states WILL be allowed to OPT OUT OF OBAMACARE ALTOGETHER? That much is unclear.

ONE THING THAT IS CRYSTAL CLEAR IS, BECAUSE OF THIS RULING, IF YOU DON’T BUY HEALTH INSURANCE, THE IRS WILL BE COMING FOR YOU!!!!!

Without the ability to OPT OUT by the states, the ONLY conclusion which can be drawn from this ruling is…

Obama’s “Private Sector’s Doin’ Fine” Dance

Last Friday, Obama gaffed BIG time.

That’s what the media wants you to believe. That he gaffed when he said that the private sector was doing fine.

Mainstream media of course went into damage control using liberal talking points. Obama himself “clarified” his remarks as soon as he could.

Now, a few days later, some conservatives are questioning whether it was a gaff at all. Now they are speculating that he simply slipped up and spoke aloud what he really believes regardless of the political fallout.

Gaff?

Clarification??

Not a gaff???

A show of hands please…Who would like to know what last Friday’s Obama statement REALLY was???

Okay…Here we go.
