Just a couple of random comments regarding last night’s democrat charade:
(1) The attacks on Romney were personal and nasty, completely unlike the civility of the speakers at the Republican convention. This convention is slanted to the feminist and gay/lesbian blocs and every single speaker referenced gay marriage and women's rights to control their own bodies. Are those the most pressing issues facing our country?
That same day our national debt passed the sixteen trillion dollar mark. That translates to $136,000 of debt for every American family. America’s national debt is more than the combined debts of all of Europe, and it is bigger than the entire American economy. The interest payments alone are ten billion dollars a week spreading out into the future for decades. And yet one of the two major parties is focusing its attention on gay/lesbian issues and women’s ‘right to choose’. That tells us one of two things: they are imbeciles unable to prioritize the problems facing us, or they are masters at creating smokescreens. I’m betting on the latter.
(2) Michelle Obama’s speech is being hailed by many as a masterpiece. In it, one of her basic premises was that 'Barack knows the American dream because he lived it’.
Obama was raised by a stepfather of means in a foreign country when his angry, alcoholic, rabidly anti-colonialist, philandering father abandoned him. Then his mother shipped him off to live with his grandparents, again wealthy people, so that she could study and immerse herself in Marxist doctrine. He attended a posh school in Hawaii, where he and his pals made a regular practice of going off and smoking dope, then Occidental, and the Ivy League schools. His most influential friendships have been with avowed Marxists, Chicago thugs, and terrorists who 'wish they had done more [damage]'.
Michelle's 'American dream' is significantly different than yours and mine.
And the lies and smokescreens will continue tonight. I suppose those of us on this forum who intend to watch might be considered masochists of a sort, but it’s always wise to know what one’s enemy is doing … |
