Tom, at the 2:45 mark listen as Jay Leno tries to explain to Dennis Miller why he (Leno) likes President Obama:
http://nation.foxnews.com/dennis-miller/2012/08/28 /watch-dennis-miller-unloads-jay-leno

Jay Leno, arguably a smart guy, and most assuredly quick on his feet, can't make his case for Obama ("I think he has compassion for regular people" - *cough-bullshit-cough*), and Dennis Miller pretty much eviscerates him.

Love this line from Miller:

quote:

I want to help the helpless, but I don't give a rat's ass about the clueless anymore."



Amen.

Compassion for regular folks is great. Most people do have compassion for others. That isn't really very remarkable at all. Having the intelligence to actually come up with a plan that is workable and affordable that actually helps them, short term and long term. BO is clueless in this regard.

When are people going to catch on?

Fema will be there 3 days after the disaster eases enough for them to get there.

That's always been the plan. You can't preposition water & food in front of the Hurricane, Volcano, forest fire, etc. It would be gone. You have warehouses away from the disaster scene, and you ship it in. There is no other way...is there?

Fema is the replacement for Civil Defense, done by James Earl Carter.

FEMA has been a mixed bag, doing quite a lot of good, doing a lot of BS.

But. A lot of the complaints about FEMA are bogus.

3 days, Get that through your head, they won't be there for 3 days.

3 days after the disaster has eased enough.

While we're at it, we could discuss what an idiot the Former Mayor of New Orleans was..... but why bother? ( he never even read the disaster plan, and did not follow it, anyway )

If you are paranoid, and believe the President has Godlike Powers, ( or a secret Russian weather machine! ) then the timing here could be perfect!

Big storm, flooding, death, during the RNC convention.

Fema trucks, National Guard, Government Handouts during the DNC convention.

Perfect!

Not necessarily a Russian weather machine Aesquire. I'm paranoid :-), and I know the President does not have Godlike Powers. Others are trying to play God though.

Interesting read. At the end I've posted a link to Dr. Owens' web site; his essay is presently at the top of his home page, and includes hyperlinks to each of Mr. Obama's "firsts" mentioned in the piece (plus several other hyperlinks related to specific points in the text), and the following notation:

"Lists of Mr. Obama’s firsts are found numerous places. The sources referenced for each first are merely representative of the many available for each."

quote:

Socialism is as Socialism Does
Dr. Robert Owens, Aug 31, 2012

Ronald Reagan taught us, “How do you tell a communist? Well, it’s someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It’s someone who understands Marx and Lenin.”

Barack Obama’s mentor as a young man was communist party member Frank Marshall Davis. As a community organizer he was a follower and promoter of the communist fellow-traveler Saul Alinsky’s methods and goals. As a professional in Hyde Park he associated with socialist radicals such as Bill Ayers. As an up-and-coming Chicago Politician he attended the church of Reverend Jeremiah Wright, an outspoken proponent of the socialist Black Liberation Theology. As president he appointed communist Van Jones to be one of his many Czars. Mr. Obama says he is not a socialist. However, simple logic tells us if it looks like a duck and walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck you can be relatively certain it’s a duck.

Mr. Obama has told us that he seeks to be a transformational president like his idol FDR. He was bold enough to tell us just days before the election in 2008 that he would fundamentally transform America. In just one term he has accomplished much along the way to changing us from what we have always been into what the Progressives have always wanted us to be.

How has Barak Obama transformed us? Into what is he transforming us? A look at his impressive *list of firsts as president of these United States points in the direction he is herding us:

• First President to have a Social Security number from a state where he has never lived
• First President to preside over a cut to the credit-rating of the United States
• First President to violate the War Powers Act
• First President to be held in contempt of court for illegally obstructing oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico
• First President to require that all Americans purchase a product from a third party as a condition of citizenship
• First President to spend a trillion dollars on shovel-ready jobs and then joke that shovel ready wasn’t quite as shovel ready as he thought
• First President to abrogate bankruptcy law to turn over control of companies to his union supporters
• First President to by-pass Congress and implement laws such as the Dream Act and Cap-n-Trade through executive fiat
• First President to demand a company hand-over $20 billion to one of his political appointees
• First President to tell a CEO of a major corporation (GM) to resign
• First President to terminate America’s ability to put a man in space
• First President to cancel the National Day of Prayer and to say that America is no longer a Christian nation
• First President to have a law signed by an auto-pen without being present
• First President to send the families of fallen service members a form letter signed with an auto-pen
• First President to arbitrarily declare an existing law unconstitutional and refuse to enforce it (DOMA)
• First President to threaten insurance companies if they publicly spoke-out on the reasons for their rate increases
• First President to tell a major manufacturing company in which state it is allowed to locate a factory
• First President to file lawsuits against the states he swore an oath to protect (AZ, WI, OH, IN)
• First President to actively try to bankrupt an American industry (coal)
• First President to fire an inspector general of Ameri-Corps for catching one of his friends in a corruption case
• First President to appoint 45 czars to his office
• First President to golf more than 100 times separate times in his first three and a half years in office
• First President to hide his medical, educational and travel records
• First President to win a Nobel Peace Prize for doing nothing to earn it
• First President to go on multiple global “apology tours” and concurrent “insult our friends” tours
• First President to go on 16 lavish vacations, including date nights and Wednesday evening White House parties for his friends paid for by the taxpayer
• First President to have 22 personal servants (taxpayer funded) for his wife
• First President to keep a dog trainer on retainer for $102,000 a year at taxpayer expense
• First President to publicly read from the Quran & tell us the early morning call of the Azan (Islamic call to worship) is the most beautiful sound on earth
• First President to recite the Muslim call to prayer in perfect Arabic
• First President to tell the military men and women that they should pay for their own private insurance
• First President to side with a foreign nation over one of America’s 50 states (Mexico vs. Arizona)

Mr. Obama is leading us from being the first among nations to being just another vote in the United Nations. Now there’s a level playing field for you. And now it’s time for another election, some say our most important, some say perhaps our last.

In many ways this election cycle is refreshing. For generations the Progressives have pretended to be something they are not to win elections. They have pretended to be dedicated to the American dream of personal liberty, economic freedom and the belief that America was different from other nations, that as the world’s first and most enduring modern experiment in a republic based on limited government we were exceptional. Although the policies of the Progressives have always been at odds with this assumed identity at least every election cycle they would tip their hat to the America of our fathers and portray themselves as a Thomas Jefferson or an Andrew Jackson.

Therefore, 2012 is shaping up to be the election where the Progressives cast aside their mask and run as who they are: the American version of socialism promising to tax the rich and spread the wealth around, from each according to their ability to each according to their need.

If Mr. Obama wins re-election on this platform the Progressives will finally have their chance to give Americans the same kind of cradle-to-grave utopia the happy people of Russia, China, North Korea, and Hitler’s Germany have had the fortune to endure. If Mr. Obama wins re-election espousing the true intentions of the Progressives, to change the constitution from a rock solid foundation for freedom into a living document that is a dead letter, he will succeed at his vow to fundamentally transform America.

He will fundamentally transform the dreams of our fathers for a land of liberty and opportunity into the dreams of his father who was a pro-communist social engineer and America will become just another country trying to build heaven on earth by plundering some to benefit others.

As to his utopian beliefs and aspirations President Obama has said, “I am confident we can create a Kingdom right here on Earth”

President Reagan also told us, “Socialism only works in two places: Heaven where they don’t need it, and hell where they already have it.”

Obama's acceptance speech in the Bank Of America stadium (~75000 capacity) has been cancelled and moved to Time Warner (~15000). Depending on who you talk to, this decision was made due to weather or lack of people to fill the larger stadium.

The DNC scheduled their silly convention on the opening night of NFL Football. Brilliant move, Dems. Lighton and I are so torn as what to watch on TV tonight. Cowboys vs Giants or the Wackjobs vs Themselves?

Alan Colmes was bleating on Fox News this morning that there isn't enough hotel space. Wowsas!

If this is true, wasn't this true a year ago when they planned this?

BofA stadium is regularly filled for football games, RAIN or shine. Isn't there a hotel capacity problem for these events?

Thursday is supposed to be the best weather of the DNC.

"Democrats remove 'God' from DNC platform, insert Obama's name over 100 times" from examiner.com
Any reference to God or God-given has been removed from the DNC platform so as not to offend pro abortion or gay marriage members. Sort of like Obama pointing skyward and proclaiming "You didn't build that".

A Third Nazi Reference At Democratic Convention
By David Jackson | USAToday.com, Sep 5, 2012

Yet another Nazi reference at the Democratic convention.

The chairman of the South Carolina Democratic Party today compared Nikki Haley, the state's Republican governor, to Hitler mistress Eva Braun

Noting that Republicans are holding opposition press briefings in a basement studio at the NASCAR Hall of Fame, Dick Harpootlian told a South Carolina delegation breakfast today: "She was down in the bunker a la Eva Braun."

Haley responded by calling Harpootlian "an angry, hateful man" who "embarrasses South Carolina every time he opens his mouth."

Earlier this week, John Burton, the chairman of the California Democratic Party, accused Republican running mate Paul Ryan of using the "big lie" technique of Hitler propagandist Joseph Goebbels.

And Pat Lehman, the dean of the Kansas Democratic delegation, referred to Hitler himself when protesting Republican claims that they want voter identification laws to prevent voter fraud.

"It's like Hitler said, if you're going to tell a lie, tell a big lie," Lehman said. "And if you tell it often enough and say it in a loud enough voice, some people are going to believe you."

Nikki Haley rocks.

Oldog, this vid of Ms. Haley's speech at the RNC prolly belongs on the R&R thread, but since you served me up a softball I'll post it up here on the TOAD (Team One And Done) thread. The remarks coming out of the DNC trying to paint Republicans with the brush of Naziism are despicable.

Quite simply, it reeks of desperation.

So they deleted God and Jerusalem from the Democrat's platform. I don't think this was done without thought. It's funny to watch Durbin attempt to spin a simply question of why into an attack on Fox News.



A day later they are voting to add this back into the platform. They need a 2/3 vote to pass it. You can tell the guy in charge was under orders to get it passed, but he knows the vote isn't there. After multiple attempts, he simply calls it passed. This is what democracy looks like under a typical dictator.

This is absolutely stunning:


quote:

Amidst Boos And Multiple Votes, DNC Reverses Position And Reinstates Jerusalem:





Here's the text of the two amendments the DNC delegates were voting on:

1. We need a government that stands up for the hopes, values, and interests of working people, and gives everyone willing to work hard the chance to make the most of their God-given potential.

The issue here was the inclusion of the word "God." Up until tonight, God was not mentioned in the official 2012 DNC platform. CNN reported yesterday that this omission was designed to "reflect Obama policy."

2. Jerusalem is and will remain the capital of Israel. The parties have agreed that Jerusalem is a matter for final status negotiations. It should remain an undivided city accessible to people of all faiths.

The issue here is the verbiage stating the Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. Up until tonight, that language was specifically omitted, again, according to CNN, to reflect Obama policy.

The heat levied at the DNC today for these two omissions has been intense, so much so, apparently, the DNC made the unusual move to allow a last-minute vote on allowing these two amendments to come to a vote before the DNC delegates.

It requires a two-thirds "aye" vote to pass the motion and allow the amendments to now become official planks in the 2012 Democratic platform. Listen to the vote again: Do you think there was a two-thirds aye vote from the delegates?

Me, either.

Which begs several questions:

1. Was Mayor Villaraigosa, head of the DNC, under orders from his boss to get this verbiage added to the platform? It sure wouldn't look very good during the Big Speech tomorrow night for these omissions to have stood.

2. However, is it true that these omissions accurately represent "Obama policy"? Many, including me, would be inclined to answer in the affirmative.

3. And perhaps most importantly, listen AGAIN to how vociferous the "nay" voters were!! These folks, professing to have America and her allies' best interests at heart, sound to me like they could give a rat's ass about Israel OR God.

What the heck am I missing here, people?!?

Is this what the Democratic party is actually all about? Has the last thread of the Emperor's robe finally begun to unravel? Are we seeing the belly of the beast?

This is disgusting. I'm not sure how all this delegate stuff works, but I have to assume there will be a manual vote count of the DNC delegates, as most assuredly these amendments did NOT receive a two-thirds aye vote.

Wouldn't it be something if the Democratic party finally had to come clean with America and the world and admitted where their loyalties REALLY lie?

See you at the polls, Mr. Obama.

Resurrection: DNC Overrules Delegates, Rams God and Jerusalem Back into Platform
Breitbart News, Sep 5, 2012

Tonight, the Democratic National Committee suspended the rules of the convention and inserted language regarding God and the State of Israel back to its platform. They had to vote three times to do it – and they had to lie to deem it passed, even though it was clear that the measure did not pass a voice vote in the chamber. The original 2012 Democratic Party platform had excised all mention of God and Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Israel.

...Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa of Los Angeles, the head of the Democratic National Convention, got up and asked for a two-thirds vote on the amendments to the platform. He took a voice vote, with people stating aloud “aye” and “nay.”

The first time, he couldn’t determine if two-thirds of the voters had said “aye”; a loud “no” vote was heard. He asked for a second vote.

The second time, he couldn’t determine whether the voice vote had passed. Again. Villaraigosa looked around in confusion.

Finally, on the third attempt, Villaraigosa took a voice vote and simply declared, in the “opinion of the chair,” that it had been passed. There were widespread boos in the convention hall to the renewed inclusion of God and language about Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. And Villaraigosa was lying, in any case – there is no way that the voice vote had passed. Opponents stood up and protested, waving and shouting. The fix was in. The Democratic leadership had to ram a mention of God and a mention of Jerusalem through, violating their own rules, to avoid the fallout within their own ranks.



Read the rest of the article here: http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/09/05 /Democrats-change-platform-God-Israel





Who's the woman at 2:38 who strides out on stage and says to Mayor Villaraigosa, "You've gotta rule, and then you gotta let them do what they're gonna do!"???

Krauthammer: Very troubling for pro-Israel community what language DNC didn’t reinstate on Israel
Posted by The Right Scoop on September 5th, 2012

Responding to Democrats adding back the language on God and Jerusalem, Krauthammer says Dems are acting like they don’t know how it was ever removed. But Krauthammer says words don’t just walk off the page, that it was intentionally done as a reflection of Obama’s distancing himself from Israel. He also makes the point that given that the rule didn’t really pass, it’s a reflection of how strong the anti-Israel sentiment actually is in the Democratic Party.

Krauthammer adds that this is very troubling for the pro-Israel community, especially considering they didn’t reinstate the language on isolating Hamas, the 1967 borders and Right of Return.
