THE OBAMA OF 2004 VS THE OBAMA OF 2016…

So let’s step into our 'Wayback Machine' and travel back in time to that nostalgic time just before then-Senate candidate from Illinois, Barack Hussein Obama, arrived on stage at the Democrat National Convention in 2004.  And then thanks to that which would become in time his piece of never-leave-home-without-it equipment, that being his ever-present teleprompter, it was a much younger Barry “Almighty” that proceeded to wow the crowd with his artificial oratory and set the stage for his presidential run which would come just a mere four years later.

Now, finally nearing the end of his presidency, thank God, Barry once again graced the stage of the DNC in an effort to promote the next Democrat presidential hopeful known affectionately here on these pages as, Hitlery.  But the America that Barry addressed earlier this week is one that has become very deeply divided, and not only along racial lines, but also across political lines and even within the political parties, much more so than it was back in '04. And by comparing his words then to his word choice today that fact becomes all the more stark.

It was in 2004 that Barry spoke like a uniter, far from the divider that he has turned out to be, and like he has for most of the eight years he has spent in office.  It was back then that what we heard from the younger Barry that which was a far cry from we’ve come to hear from the older. It was then that he said, "There is not a liberal America and a conservative America, there is the United States of America."  And he would then go on to say, "There is not a Black America and a White America and Latino America and Asian America -- there’s the United States of America."

But the Barry of 2016 bears very little resemblance to the Barry of 12 years ago.  Because, you see, the Barry of 2016 concedes to the divided America he himself helped to create saying, "I see Americans of every party, every background, every faith who believe that we are stronger together -- black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American; young, old; gay, straight; men, women, folks with disabilities, all pledging allegiance, under the same proud flag, to this big, bold country that we love. That's what I see. That's the America I know!"

And when Barry addressed the crowd back in 2004, his goal seemed then to appeal to his "fellow Americans, Democrats, Republicans, Independents."  That would seem to be a far cry from how it was earlier this week when he addressed a specific group when he said, "Hello, Democrats!"  And it was in describing this current election that he even went so far as to declare that it is the "contest" between the left and the right that "pushes our country forward."  Not like before when he said there's no left, no right, only the U.S.A.  But, as they say, that was then and this is now.

Then-Senate candidate Barry was backing John Kerry-Heinz and praised him in similar ways as he did Hitlery. What he didn't do then was bash the opposition, which is another difference in his two speeches. Because Barry was on the attack this time around, railing against Donald Trump at mockery level:  "You know, the Donald is not really a plans guy. He’s not really a facts guy, either…"America is already great. America is already strong. And I promise you, our strength, our greatness, does not depend on Donald Trump."  So is Barry saying that he’s a facts guy?  Really?

And, of course, it wouldn't be a Barry “Almighty” speech without taking advantage of the situation to knock around the Republicans to the greatest extent possible.  Barry said, "But what we heard in Cleveland last week wasn’t particularly Republican -- and it sure wasn’t conservative. What we heard was a deeply pessimistic vision of a country where we turn against each other, and turn away from the rest of the world. There were no serious solutions to pressing problems -- just the fanning of resentment, and blame, and anger, and hate."

Meanwhile, outside the convention center during the latest rousing speech from Barry, it was essentially his America that was on full display for all to see.  Or at least all that his many friends in the state-controlled media saw fit to air.  Disgruntled Democrats were busy burning American flags (and sometimes even themselves), cursing Hitlery, breaching the wall around the building (yes, they had a wall), shouting "Black Lives Matter," and condemning white privilege. They considered it their revolution, their new occupy moment.

And Barry, from the safety of a highly-secure podium, spoke as if nothing was wrong.  He said, "That is America. Those bonds of affection; that common creed. We don’t fear the future; we shape it. We embrace it, as one people, stronger together than we are on our own. That’s what Hillary Clinton understands -- this fighter, this stateswoman, this mother and grandmother, this public servant, this patriot -- that’s the America she’s fighting for.”  The truth is that our country is spirally out of controlled and plummeting toward the deck that is rapidly approaching.

And Barry went on to say, "So this year, in this election, I’m asking you to join me -- to reject cynicism and reject fear, and to summon what is best in us; to elect Hillary Clinton as the next president of the United States, and show the world we still believe in the promise of this great nation."  How about we get together and reject the blatant dishonest portrayal of what is actually taking place in this country.  Like our failed economic policy, our failed immigration policy and our failed foreign policy.  We have to be smart enough not to elect Hitlery as our next president.

So at some point during my many trips around the blogosphere that I happened to stumble across someone who suggested to me that I search out Mr. Malcolm Muggeridge.  And it was in so doing that I ended up finding something that after I first read it I found the need to re-read it because it was something that could not have more accurately defined much of what I see every day taking place right before my eyes. And I thought, how profound. It was something written by Mr. Muggeridge and included in his Vintage Muggeridge: Religion and Society. 

And I was so taken by what I was read that I thought it important enough to pass it along to those who, like myself, may be unfamiliar with this man.  We are allowing the destruction of our country to take place and far too many of us have absolutely no desire to even raise a finger.  And we are now on the verge of throwing away that which may very well be our very last opportunity to salvage what’s left of our country.  If we do elect Hitlery we will have totally abandoned our responsibility to future generations.  Mr. Muggeridge’s words, I think, seem almost prophetic. 

Mr. Muggeridge: “So the final conclusion would surely be that whereas other civilizations have been brought down by attacks of barbarians from without, ours had the unique distinction of training its own destroyers at its own educational institutions, and then providing them with facilities for propagating their destructive ideology far and wide, all at the public expense. Thus did Western Man decide to abolish himself, creating his own boredom out of his own affluence, his own vulnerability out of his own strength, his own impotence out of his own erotomania, himself blowing the trumpet that brought the walls of his own city tumbling down, and having convinced himself that he was too numerous, labored with pill and scalpel and syringe to make himself fewer. Until at last, having educated himself into imbecility, and polluted and drugged himself into stupefaction, he keeled over--a weary, battered old brontosaurus--and became extinct.”  

THE BIZARRE STATE OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY…

Well, this week, the Democrats have done what they appeared to be so eager, even determined, to do, officially nominate the battered Hitlery to be the torchbearer of their party for 2016.  She has now finally limped across the finish line. She is tired and, I think it fair to say, much of the country is tired of her.  Sorry, Democrats, no do-overs. You're stuck with her.  Be careful what you wish for.

But it isn't just Hitlery who is so out of touch and in tragic decline. It would seem to be the entire Democrat Party. The American Enterprise Institute reported last week that the Democrat platform is virtually silent when it comes to economic growth.  Maybe that’s because all across the country during the past eight years of Obamanomics, economic growth has been pretty much silent as well.

This is an exaggeration, of course, but not much of one. We have had 2 percent growth under Barry, but that's far from an economy that can in way be considered, in any reasonably way, as one that’s growing. It's sister-kissing growth that, yes, has thankfully kept us out of a recession, but doesn't lead to much, if any, rise in living standards.  What is does is to allow us to simply tread water.

And just as Barry refuses to utter the words "Islamic terrorism," now the whole Democrat Party can't seem to bring itself to endorse "economic growth."  But then, for the left in this country, growth isn't really the goal anyway. What their only goal seems to be, and we know that by listening not only to their candidates for president, but their members of Congress, nothing less than redistribution of wealth.

The language of a party platform doesn't matter much, if at all. But if you're not for growth, then you probably aren't going to produce much of it, just as if you're not even trying to get in shape, it's a good bet you're not going to shed those extra 16 pounds you’re carrying around your middle.  While there has been much talk about supposed ‘economic growth’ over the last eight years, it’s mostly leftist fiction.

Amazingly, the last great growth hawk of the Democrat Party of modern times, John F. Kennedy, ran against Republican Richard Nixon in 1960 on the issue of the "growth deficit." The economy in the 1950s was fairly prosperous, much more so than over the last eight years of Barry. But JFK said we can "do bettah" and convinced Americans we could see much faster wage gains with greater opportunities.

Through tax cuts and free trade, the JFK era sparked growth rates of 4, 5 and even 6 percent in the go-go '60s until LBJ came along and crashed the economy with his “Great Society” welfare statism.  Now we have this weird austerity-worship that has taken over the party. The rich and businesses are portrayed as scalpers and scoundrels. And employers are exploiters in the "you didn't build that" mindset.

Radical environmentalists, now a bedrock constituency of the party, are anti-growth and believe that when people get richer, it's worse for the planet.  They should go live in India or Mexico City and see how well the environment is doing there.  They ridicule what they call "growth-mania" on the right. Human economic activity, they warn, is causing catastrophic global warming.

Perhaps this explains the litany of economic failures during the Obummer years. We have had $8 Trillion of new debt; minimum-wage increases; Obamacare; an $800 Billion stimulus plan (with "shovel-ready" projects); tax increases on the rich; more than $100 Billion in green energy subsidies; auto company and union pension bailouts; re-regulation of the financial industry and banks,

And add to that the fact that we have had a Federal Reserve that has manufactured near zero short-term interest rates for seven years with up to $4 Trillion of bond acquisitions.  All of these were designed primarily to redistribute income, so how can it be a shock to anyone that they haven't produced anything but marginal economic growth?  All that has been done has been done by design.

Poor Hitlery now has the rather unenviable task of persuading Americans to open up wide and swallow four more years of this progressive swill.  Here's the question that Donald Trump and Mike Pence should be asking every day: What would Hitlery offer that is in any way different?  She is promising minimum-wage increases, tax hikes on the rich and more infrastructure spending. This is new? This is change?

The left's defense of growth anemia is that 2 percent growth is now the new normal, so get used to it. Barry's first economic guru, Larry Summers, calls this secular stagnation that is here to stay. But the fact is we could have 4 percent growth easily. A pro-America energy production policy, including putting coal back in business, could produce $150 billion more output each year.

Another yet another percentage point of growth could come from tax reform with reductions in business taxes to spur investment and hiring, that according to the folks at the Tax Foundation.  But Democrat Party is, quite simply, incapable of getting us there, because they aren't even trying. They will celebrate 2 percent growth, the weakest recovery in half a century, as being some glittering achievement.

So the party that once stood with the working class now says Americans have to work more and settle for less. That's not just wrong; it's sad. The Democratic Party long ago abandoned productive people.  Because those who produce are independent, are unwilling to let government completely control their lives, and want reward for exceptional efforts. They don’t ‘need’ the government.

Allowing a growing economy prevents the power that the Democrats so badly crave, and think they deserve, that so badly hampers those that produce.  It's obvious the Democrat platform is bankrupt of anything considered to be helpful, but too much of the media continues to hold the platform high and hide the failures. That's the real problem, and until the media is held as a participant in the failures, little will change.

So, the "Late, Great Democrat Party" will continue to exist, at least until such time as enough Americans wake up to what’s being perpetrated against them.  Which I don’t see happening any time soon.  So the party will continue to harm millions, and as an active, and willing, participant in the destruction of America.  And it will leave very little behind other than a trail of destruction, turning everything it touches into shit.

WHERE ELSE BUT IN THE DEMOCRAT PARTY CAN A RAPIST BE AN ADVOCATE FOR WOMEN…WEIRD…

For those who were able to stomach watching it, last night was ‘Slick Willy’s’ time to shine at the Democrat convention by doing a little bragging on his ‘wife’.  And it’s this morning that he seems to be gathering some rather mixed reviews.  Old Slick delivered a speech that, besides being more than a little too long, has also been described by some as being more than a bit rambling.  And according to some if the point of the speech was to fire up the crowd, despite his reputation as being a great orator, it failed to live up to expectations.

’Slick’ did his best to appear fulsome in his praise of Hitlery, but there was something yuge, that was missing from the speech. ‘Slick’ described Hitlery as the “best darn change-maker” he’d ever met and recounted how he tried three times to get her to marry him.  All in a speech designed, I guess, to use his popularity to somehow ingratiate his wife to those folks who can’t stand her.  He attempted to do so by taking the crowd on a rather weird little journey through the years of their relationship starting in 1971 when he met the girl with big blonde hair and glasses.

There were the years between 1993 and 2001 when he and Hillary made the White House their home.  There was 1997, when daughter Chelsea went off to college, and then, just like that, as if by magic we were suddenly transported to 1999.  But there was one year missing.  A year that it’s probably best not to bring up especially when you’re trying to sell your audience a story of your happy marriage.  In all of ‘Slick’s’ speech, 1998 was completely absent. But why?  Was there nothing of significance that took place in the life of these people?

After all, it was during 1998 that we were witness to a number of rather notable events, such as the New York Yankees ending their season with 125 total victories, the most by any team in 123 years of Major League baseball.  But for the Clintons, it was also their “annus horribilis”.  Because it was in January of that year when website the Drudge Report revealed allegations that White House intern Monica Lewinsky had sex with the then President ‘Slick Willy’.  Later the same month, ‘Slick’ made the now famous denial: “I did not have sexual relations with that woman”. 

It would take until August 1998, and the discovery of Lewinsky’s blue dress replete with his DNA, for ‘Slick’ to finally admit that yes he had indeed had what was then termed as being an “improper physical relationship” with an intern young enough to be his daughter.  It was a scandal that would lead to ‘Slick’ becoming only the second US President to be impeached and charged with a crime, although he would later be found not guilty of obstructing justice and perjury.  No wonder, in his speech, Clinton decided to “fast-forward”, from 1997 to 1999.

Slick gave what as a rather long-winded recitation of I’m sure he sees as being his wife Hitlery’s impressive resume. And to hear him talk you’d think that Hitlery was some sort of a ‘Superwoman’ who singlehandedly rescues literally thousands of women and children.  His speech was supposed to start at 10 PM but, perhaps because of some walker issues, he was a few minutes late getting started.  By 10:30, which is what time I finally threw in the towel, he was only up to1982 in his meandering little fairytale.  I saw very little point in listening any further.

It was amid the meandering autobiography that Slick offered a few attempts to justify his wife on policy.  He said, “She put climate change at the center of our foreign policy.”  I can only assume that he apparently thinks that was a good thing.  He said that there are two Hitlerys: “One is real and the other is made up. You just have to decide which one is which, my fellow Americans.”  He said, “The real one calls you when you’re sick, when your kid’s in trouble, or when there’s a death in the family….earlier today, you nominated the real one.”

‘Slick’ also defended his wife’s carpetbagging in winning the 2000 New York Senate election.  He said, “We’d always intended to go to New York [after he left office]…so she decided to give it a try.”  And he went on to say, “After a tough battle New York elected her to the seat once held by another outsider, Robert Kennedy.”  Perhaps he considers “outsider” another term for “carpetbagger.”  ‘Slick’ said, “Speeches like this are fun,” before finally signing off shortly before 11 PM.  But fun for whom.  After reading most of the reviews this morning, I’m glad I went to bed.

I guess if the purpose of the speech was to, as best as he could, sugarcoat Hitlery’s ‘career in public service’ by leaving out entirely any mention of her real record, then I guess you could say that it was a good speech.  But to be honest, there is virtually no place on God's green earth that is better off today because of anything that she has done. There are 100s of thousands of innocent people who are dead today because of her and Barry. Libya, Iraq, Africa, Russia, Asia, Iran, and countless other places that are far worse off today because of her. 

This speech was, for the most part, completely fact free, quite ridiculous and totally boring. But then as we all know, facts aren’t exactly something that Democrats like to delve too far into, or discuss too far in depth, because the facts rarely, if ever, actually support any of their positions.  ‘Slick Willy’ must have been on oxycodone or some such medication because as much as I despise him, he is usually very good when he gets in front of a microphone.  And what I did hear of it was rambling and for the most part was pretty much incoherent.

There is a time for a woman president, just like there was a time for a first black president, unfortunately America has found out the hard way what it's like to vote for someone simply because of outward appearance, now we have a woman who is nowhere near worthy of the honor to be elected as our president.  America can do so so much better, but that will be some time in the future.  Definitely not now, Hitlery, I fear, would be even worse than Barry.  The bottom line here is that America simply can't survive another Democrat as president, male or female.

HANK JOHNSON, THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A DEMOCRAT IN 2016…

There is today in Congress a Democrat who has managed to earn for himself quite the reputation.  A reputation for being little more than a complete moron.  This despite this fact he has been permitted to roam the halls of Congress since 2007.  And it is this same Democrat who, back on March 25, 2010 in a Congressional hearing, actually questioned the military about stationing more troops on the Island of Guam because he was concerned that the island might actually tip over from the weight of those additional troops.  If you didn’t realize that I was talking about Hank Johnson, I won’t hold it against you.  After all the number of imbecilic Democrats in Congress now stands at 236 with 2 others that like to play with them.

Anyway, the only reason I even bring him up is the fact that old Hank has once again gone that extra mile in his effort to remove any and all doubt that he is, without a doubt the most ignorant individual ever to be elected to Congress.  And what is it that he went about doing such a thing?  Well, he recently launched into what can only be described as being a rather bizarre tirade against Israel and its policies toward the "Palestinians", and it was in the process of doing that that he actually went so far as to compare Jewish Israeli settlers in disputed territories to termites.  So I guess I’d be curious to know what it’s going to take for the millions of self-hating Jews we have in this country to stop voting for Democrats.

It was courtesy of the Washington Free Beacon that we came to hear how Hank made his remarks during an event sponsored by something called the U.S. Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation, an anti-Israel, and pro-BDS organization.  For those who may unfamiliar with BDS, what it refers to is the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Movement, hence the BDS, which is a global campaign attempting to increase economic and political pressure on Israel to comply with the stated goals of the movement: the end of Israel's occupation and colonization.  So knowing what this organization is and what it represents it quickly become very obvious why, being a proud Democrat, how it was that Hank came to be there. 

Hank said, “There has been a steady [stream], almost like termites can get into a residence and eat before you know that you’ve been eaten up and you fall in on yourself, there has been settlement activity that has marched forward with impunity and at an ever increasing rate to the point where it has become alarming.”  And he said, “It has come to the point that occupation, with highways that cut through Palestinian land, with walls that go up, with the inability or the restriction, with the illegality of Palestinians being able to travel on those roads and those roads cutting off Palestinian neighborhoods from each other. And then with the building of walls and the building of check points that restrict movement of Palestinians. We’ve gotten to the point where the thought of a Palestinian homeland gets further and further removed from reality.”

He also stated, demonstrating a historical ignorance that is matched only by his geographical incomprehension, that Jewish people habitually steal land and property from Palestinians.  He said, “You see one home after another being appropriated by Jewish people who come in to claim that land just because somebody did not spend the night there. The home their [Palestinian] ancestors lived in for generations becomes an Israeli home and a flag goes up... the Palestinians are barred from flying flags in their own neighborhoods.”  Hank then went on to compare Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, a remark which the Free Beacon reports drew vocal agreement from those in the room. 

Hank said, “The fact is the Israeli government, which is the most right-wing government ever to exist in the state of Israel in its history, the most right wing government, you got a guy like Trump who is now the minister of defense in Israel calling the shots on defense."  First of all, how much does anyone think that this moron really knows about the history of Israel?  I betting he doesn’t know any more about Israeli history than he does about American history.  His comments and DNC’s leaked emails prove once and for all that Democrats, as a whole, are really nothing more than a bunch bigoted, racist, anti-Semites who are corrupt beyond belief and supporters of cop killing criminals.

The race-obsessed Johnson, is a member of the Congressional Black Caucus and the Congressional Progressive Caucus, groups that count amongst their members some of the most corrupt and racist individuals in Congress.  And he had also called for the censure of Republican Representative Joe Wilson for shouting “You lie!” at Barry during Barry’s healthcare-related speech to Congress back in 2009, or else “we will have people with white hoods running through the countryside again.”  He also declared that Treyvon Martin, shot in 2012 by George Zimmerman in an incident that ratcheted up racial tensions in this country to the breaking point, had been “executed for WWB in a GC—Walking While Black in a Gated Community.”

In addition, old Hank has also made the idiotic claim that the National Rifle Association’s (NRA's) opposition to gun control stems from racism, he somehow thinks that Barry is the greatest president who ever lived, and that there is "a cultural issue within certain [police] departments... that enables or says it’s okay for law-enforcement officers to shoot to kill blacks, be they male or female, Hispanics—to use excessive force.”  If you’re interested in finding just how much of a waste of skin this guy truly is, feel free to check out a full profile on Hank at the Horowitz Freedom Center's Discover the Networks resource site to learn more.  Cynthia McKinney held this same seat in Congress. This must be the dumbest congressional district in the entire country.

Every time I try to watch this moron my brain hurts for days afterwards. I’m surprised he is a speaker at the Democrat convention this week.  But speaking of termites, Hank, like his buddy Barry, makes friends with the Muslim Brotherhood whose goal it is to undermine American society and destroy her miserable house and bring it down from within. Like termites. A few Jews building homes in their country is a major problem, but millions of migrants and refugees flooding the west and blowing crap up and cutting off heads, shooting and stabbing and mutilating and running people down with rental trucks is no problem.  Hank must have gone to the Jesse Jackson/Al Sharpton School of Jew baiting. Its acronym is JACKASS.

ODD THAT HITLERY WOULD BE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE DOUBLE STANDARD SHE ENJOYS???

Someone really should make Hitlery aware that there is no whining in presidential politics.  Because I gotta tell ya, during her recent appearance on “60 Minutes’ that’s essentially all that she did, whine.  I mean, she seems to enjoy telling anyone who will listen about how it is that politics is not just for men, and that women can be just as tough as men.  But it has a negative effect on her argument when all she does is to whine and complain.  Just as she did during her interview last night on ’60 Minutes’ when she said, "I often feel like there's the Hillary standard and then there's the standard for everybody else."  But she’s right!

And, no surprise, it was that faithful Hitlery suck-up Scott Pelley who then asked her, "What's the Hillary standard?"  And it was in response that Hitlery pointed to the Republican National Convention and said, "Unfounded, inaccurate, mean-spirited attacks with no basis in truth, reality -- which take on a life of their own, and for whatever reasons and I don't want to try to analyze the reasons. I see it. I understand it.”  She added, "People are very willing to say things about me, to make accusations about me that are -- I don't get upset about them anymore, but they are very regrettable."  Regrettable for whom, exactly?

During the same ’60 Minutes’ interview Hitlery went on to say, "It felt very sad, Scott."  And Pelley simply ate it all up as Hitlery went on to say, "I mean-- I don't know what their convention was about, other than criticizing me.  I seem to be the only unifying theme that they had. There was no positive agenda. It was a very dark, divisive campaign. And the people who were speaking were painting a picture of our country that I did not recognize. You know, negative, scapegoating, fear, bigotry, smears. I just was so-- I was saddened by it."  What the Republican convention was about was saving America from her!

Later in the interview, Pelley brought up Hitlery’s continuing email issue when he asked her, "Do you think you blew it on the emails?"  To which Hitlery responded by saying, "Oh, I've said I did. Absolutely!"  And she then went on to say, "I made a mistake. I should've had two accounts, one for personal and one for office. And I didn't, and I take responsibility for that.”  Pelley asked her why she had a private email server, and she started to say that other secretaries of state had done the same thing, except none of them had private servers in their homes.  Instead she fell back to telling the same old lie that we’ve heard numerous times.

She basically did that when she said, "You know, Scott, other people did have -- other secretaries of state, other high-ranking members of administrations, plural-- and it was recommended that it would be convenient, and I thought it would be. It's turned out to be anything but."  Hitlery claimed the she definitely learned her lesson the hard way saying, "and there will not be any such thing in the White House. Although, I am quick to add, there's no evidence that it was ever hacked. And unfortunately, you can't say that for a lot of the government."  But even FBI Director Comey said that it would be “unlikely to see such evidence” given the “nature of the system.”

Hitlery also told Pelley that she will "take responsibility" for any negative impressions people may have about her, "or anything I've ever done that people have legitimate questions about."  Well gee, who else is it that would be taking responsibility for her irresponsible behavior?  But she also said "there's been a concerted effort" to convince people that there's "something" concerning about her.  Ok, so what would be the correct way to describe someone who willfully, maybe even purposely, exposes our nation’s secrets to what has become our list of enemies and who was part of the team who left four Americans to be butchered in Benghazi? 

And her trusty new sidekick, Tim Kaine, a man who has a history of being caught up in more than a few instances of corruption himself, which was likely viewed as being a resume enhancer for being picked as VP, was quick to come to the defense of Hitlery. He implied that she a tough woman who simply let's all the attacks just roll off her back.   And it was in referring to chants at last week's Republican National Convention in Cleveland the ‘Crooked Kaine’ said, "That's not the way I feel. When I see this, you know, 'Crooked Hillary,' or I see the, 'Lock her up,' it's just ridiculous. It is ridiculous."  But we’ve heard these same chants already this week at the DNC.

Kaine added: "It is beneath the character of the kind of dialogue we should have, because we've got real serious problems to solve.  And look, most of us stopped the name-calling thing about fifth grade."  And all this before we heard word one from the first speaker at the Democrat Convention who I’m quite sure will be taking us all back to our days in grade school.  And when it comes to the serious problems to which he refers, who is it that either created those problems or succeeded in only making them so very much worse.  That would be the team of Democrats who have been in charge for the last eight years.  A team of which Hitlery was a member.

Look, the fact that Kaine has chosen to now affiliate himself with such an ethically challenged person as Hitlery, actually tells us a great deal about the man.  For one thing we know he will say yes to her, and always hesitate to tell her no. He has a desire to plug himself into the lucrative network of corruption that the Clintons established and have been engaging in for decades. There are literally millions of dollars to be made, and he wants to make sure he gets a piece of the action. Leadership is ultimately not the quality he offers public service, it is his usefulness to his political party that fuels Hitlery's favoritism.

How complicit he will be was determined by the ‘Clinton Crime Syndicate’ and thus, at the end of the day, he was selected as winner of her VP lottery.  You can be sure that Kaine sees dollar signs, and might even have had quite a few dollars dangled in front of him by Hitlery.  And CBS, via ‘60 Minutes’, has given them another moment of fakery to express their indignation that anyone would dare to question her character, integrity or moral compass. I think the cat is out of the bag, however. At this point, it surely will be genuine fools, illegal immigrants, and dead people casting votes for Hitlery/Kaine in November. But there are many of them.

And Hitlery knows all about double standards.  And that she says she was 'saddened' by it all is nothing more than an outright lie.  Because as we all know, psychopaths don't feel sadness.  Earlier in the interview, Hitlery claimed that she hadn't watched the Republican National Convention but she certainly did hear about "lock her up" and the many other things people were saying about her.  Hitlery said she felt "sad" about it.   But as I mentioned earlier, we’ve already heard that there are those at the Democrat convention saying much the same thing.  Is she saddened by that as well?  Or not, since such calls are coming for her own Democrats?

Now if I were Hitlery, I just don’t believe I’d be in any big hurry to point out to the American people how it is that I am somehow able to be judged differently than those whom I’m hoping would come out and vote for me. Because most lying, treasonous criminals would have been put in prison decades ago based on just 1/100th of the evidence that we've seen her slip out from under. Yes, she gets away with doing those things that we the little people, if we did them, would be going to prison!  She is a crooked, cackling, calculating, controlling, conniving, cunning, crone; although she seems to have learned to control the cackling lately.

Unethical, if not illegal, Democrat National Committee documents recently released by WikiLeaks include spreadsheets and emails that appear to show that party officials were planning which donors and prominent fundraisers were to be provided with key appointments to federal boards and commissions.  The disclosed DNC emails certainly look like the potential Hitlery Administration has intertwined the appointments to federal government boards and commissions with the political and fund raising operations of the Democratic Party.  This November Americans will decide whether they want to clean up Washington, or allow Washington to corrupt the entire country.

JOHN KERRY-HEINZ IS A DISGRACE, A LIAR, AND A TRAITOR…

When there have been 30,000 people killed by Muslim terrorists just since January of last year and an unknown number killed during the presidency of Barack Hussein Obama, I’m more than a bit curious how it is that Secretary of State John Kerry-Heinz can so steadfastly insist, and as recently as last Friday, that ‘climate change’ is as dangerous as the threats posed by the Islamic State and other Muslim extremist groups.  And I’d like to know how many people have died during that same period of time whose cause of death can be listed as “climate change.”

Kerry-Heinz spoke last Friday in Vienna at an international climate change conference attended by parties to the 1987 Montreal Protocol, a global treaty to end the use of many chlorofluorocarbons from aerosols and refrigerants that deplete the ozone layer.  Kerry-Heinz said the issue might not get as much attention as terrorism but that the meeting is as important as a gathering he hosted on Thursday in Washington on combating the Islamic State.  He said, "What you are doing here right now is of equal importance, because it has the ability literally to save life on this planet."

Treaty members continue to insist that they have been able to attain some level of success, including a healing of an ozone hole over Antarctica.  Now they are busying trying to adopt yet another amendment, one that would phase out substances that replaced chlorofluorocarbons, called hydrofluorocarbons.  We’re told that they supposedly trap more heat than carbon dioxide but are less plentiful.  Participants in the Vienna meeting hope to find consensus on an amendment that could be adopted at the next meeting of the parties in Kigali, Rwanda, this October. 

But how about some actual facts, Mr. Kerry-Heinz, instead of your idiotic pabulum that’s nothing more than propaganda.  Like the fact that during 2015 alone there were 2858 Islamic attacks in 53 different countries, in which 27,588 people were murdered and 26,136 injured.  And for comparison, in 2001 there were 177 Islamic attacks in just 13 countries, in which 3,537 people were killed and 3,561 injured.  If you think that any real Muslim is your friend, you are ignorant of Islam. So I ask you again, Mr. Kerry-Heinz, how many is it that have died from climate change?

And too, Mr. Kerry-Heinz, let’s also discuss the fact of how it’s the personal behavior of 1% of the U. S. population results in their CO2 footprint being 50 times the average of the remaining 99%. While this surprises no one, and you are aware of this, what most people fail to realize is this means that this small group of wealth individuals is responsible for more than 33% of ALL U. S. CO2 emissions and were they to only emit 25 time the average of the other 99%, via their personal behavior, overall U. S. CO2 emissions would immediately (not over decades) decline by 17%.

And can you please explain to all of us rubes, Mr. Kerry-Heinz, why all the plans being implemented and proposed will allow this same small group to continue their behavior without any reductions in their CO2 emissions while financially hammering we the lower income and middle classes, just for being alive. We know you care (because you tell us) and we know this is an emergency (again because you tell us) so PLEASE explain the logic behind your plans. Hurry, because there precious little time to waste. Should we all wait for your explanation or can you finally admit it’s all just a scam.

Let’s review what else Mr. Kerry-Heinz has told us.  He told us he earned 3 Purple Hearts in Vietnam, he just left out the fact that two of them were for self-inflicted wounds.  He told us that he spent Christmas of 1972 in Cambodia, but his shipmates confirmed that they were 30 miles from Cambodia.  He told us that American soldiers in Vietnam habitually committed War Crimes.  And he told us that the 14 Point Vietnam Peace Plan he presented to Congress was his, it was the Peace Plan he got in Paris when he was "negotiating" the North Vietnamese and Vietnam Cong.

And John Kerry-Heinz told us that the agreement reached with Iran last year was the absolute best deal that we could get and Iran would adhere to every point or we would cancel the deal.  And has also told us, on a number of occasions, that Barry is the greatest American president, which is laughable.  And now he is lying to us, yet, again about "Climate Change". But then again, he is a liberal which means he lies first, last, and always.  Get the straight jacket ready, next will be air-conditioners and refrigerators because of climate change, this man is a complete idiot, period.

BILL MAHER, POSTER BOY FOR AMERICA’S MENTALLY RETARDED…

Ya know, if those on the left are so confident that Hitlery is going to beat Trump like a redheaded stepchild why is it that they continue to see the need for using such vitriolic rhetoric whenever talking about Trump.  Democrats, as well as their many socialist supporters, have become nearly apoplectic over the Trump candidacy.  And the reason I even bring this up is because the always charming Bill Maher recently made yet another profound statement in his already-long list of profound statements earlier this week when he went on one of his psychotic rants maligning black Republicans as "Uncle Toms" and comparing Trump's sons to Nazis.

In a live version of his HBO freak show, ‘Real Time’, Maher chided any minority that dares to vote for Trump, especially black Americans, calling them the derogatory "Uncle Tom," essentially saying that the color of their skin dictates how they should think and vote.  In short, Maher has now officially outed himself as being a racist.  Maher said, "New rule: Marginalized black Republicans and marginalized gay Republicans have to come together and form a new group called The Uncle Tom's Log Cabin Republicans."  And the fact that such a statement actually prompted laughter, paints a pretty sad picture of those watch this boob.

Maher also directed his mean-spirited smugness at Donald Trump's sons, going on to use that all-too-common leftist trope by comparing them to Nazis.  Maher said, "There was there was an outbreak of Norovirus, the one they get on cruise ships, at the convention."  And this reject from some mental ward went on to say, "They said avoid shaking hands. So, if you see the Trump boys, just Sieg Heil and walk right on by."  Maher later expanded on this German Nazi theme when he said: "Do people realize if they are elected Donald Trump, really the people that are going to be running the country are Douche Bag Von Fuckface Trump and Thurston Shit Bag III?"

This Hitler comparison nonsense has gotten to be pretty lame and pathetic, to say nothing of the fact that after years of having used it you’d think these people who are supposed to be so clever could have long ago come up with something new. The liberals have worn out this insult and need to conjure up some new irrelevant label in an effort to try to keep their dystopian dreams alive. If these ignoramuses were only half as intelligent and witty as they think they are, they'd realize that the party that they claim allegiance to has vastly more similarities to the Nazis, including the most obvious one socialism, than does the party they hate.

And why is it that whenever people think of evil people, the first and only person that seems to ever come to mind is Adolf Hitler?!  Have we forgotten what Joseph Stalin did in his own country?  Or how about Mao Tse Tung, or Pol Pot or even Saddam Hussein?!  Do people think that these people somehow pale in comparison to Hitler?  Personally I'm far more concerned about the prospects of our country becoming another Venezuela, a direction in which we already seem to headed thanks to their hero, Barry!  That’s a far more real concern than is fearing Trump is somehow another Hitler!  And it’s the socialist policies of the left that are greatest cause for concern.   

But I find as being the most disturbing is the fact that someone can get away with spewing this kind of blatant racism on national TV and not suffer any kind of backlash or consequences.  And you’ll notice that it’s this kind of language is ALWAYS coming from someone on the left.  Now you would think that such rhetoric would draw condemnation from those whom such language is used to promote or defend, but since more often than not it’s always directed at someone on the right it is therefore seen as being acceptable.  Which makes it all the more clear just what frauds race baiters like Sharpton and Jackson really are! 

I realize that Maher supposed to be a "comedian", and I use that term VERY loosely, and likely sees himself as being some sort of a social activist.  But outside the bizarre little clique he’s neither.  It makes me wonder what type of people are watching shows like his and The View that keep these shows alive. The idiocy of people like Maher is mind numbing, believing that black people who have conservative values are Uncle Tom's and sell outs to their race. The amount of truth and facts that people would have to ignore and dismiss to conclude that the Democrat Party is the one that has the minorities best interests at heart is absolutely astounding.

CHRIS MATTHEWS, TALK OF ‘LAW AND ORDER’ IS RACIST…

So riddle me this: What is it that’s worse, a person who is totally brain dead, OR, that same person who does know that he is totally brain dead?  Because for the life of me I’m just not able to make the same connection that Chris Matthews makes when he says that merely talking about “law and order” makes one a racist.  Now don’t think for a minute that I waste a minute of my time watching the morons over there on MSNBC, because if there was ever a perfect definition for wasted time, that would be it.  However, I did read an article just this morning that pointed out how, during MSNBC’s coverage of the RNC on Thursday night, Matthews stated that the phrase “law and order” “carries a racial tone to it.”

So as we all know, or should know by now, Matthews is far from being one of the more intelligent folks on television.  But then he works for MSNBC, so expectations are already pretty low.  So anyway, he apparently wasn’t too fond of those who choose to speak about ‘law and order.’  He said, “[W]hy did he use the phrase with all its implications and attitude, ‘law and order.’ He didn’t say, ‘Let’s enforce the law.’ He did that once, most of it was the phrase ‘law and order,’ that was so Nixonian. I think that carries a racial tone to it. And by the way, safe schools, the reason we’re going to have vouchers and charter schools is not for better education, but to get the kids away from the bad neighborhoods.”

And then Matthew’s fellow anchor Joy Reid, in what I can only assume was an attempt on her part to prove she’s just as much of a leftist moron as Matthews is, said, “And the Johnson amendment. A lot these were signals that people in the audience, on the right would understand, I’m going to let the churches get directly involved in elections. Remember, the Johnson amendment was about some of the white churches in the South that were inveighing against the Civil Rights Act. That too has a racial tone.”  Now let’s be clear here, when it comes to who it was that was against the Civil Rights Act that was actually the favorite political party of both these clowns, the Democrat Party!  Home of the KKK, Jim Crow and segregation.

Matthews added further confusion regarding the point that he was, I guess, trying to make when he added, “The Christian academies, which were created so they wouldn’t have a public school.”  Far be it from me to attempt to correct the rather bigoted Mr. Matthews, but actually, the academies to which he makes reference to were created as an avenue for parents to utilize in an effort to avoid what has been, and for quite some time, a horrendous public school system.  And I’d be very curious to know how many of Mr. Matthew’s children were exposed to our public school system.  Because I would be willing to be that not one of his three children went anywhere but to very expensive private schools.  But I digress.

But look, it’s clear that Hitlery’s people got their talking points out to those in the state-controlled media which Matthews is a proud card carrying member.  We heard the terms "racist", "divisive" and "dangerous" all over the state-controlled media whenever the subject was this week’s Republican National Convention. While I’m quite sure that it fun for some, in a rather twisted sort of way, to watch these talking heads dribbling all over themselves I very rarely am ever able to bring myself to do it. Time goes by too quickly to waste even a second watching the unwatchable.  I have to wonder if Huma taped Trump's speech for Hitlery so she could watch it whenever her raggedy-old ass managed to crawl out of bed.

Democrats always insist upon delivering racism, danger and division to the front doorstep of the right.  And it’s those things that they try to affix or attach to those of us on the right that actually comprise the legs of the Democrat Party platform.  And Trump has wasted little time in throwing it right back in their face.  And I have no doubt that that is a trend that we will see continuing.  Democrat talking points in a nutshell go like this: white people are privileged, black people are victims, as are Hispanic and Latino people, Asians have their own set of issues, as do Native Americans, and of course the LGBTQ folks need to be accommodated.   But dividing us is how the Democrat Party is able to continue in existence.

The bottom line here is that Matthews is nothing more than one more hypocritical racist Democrat, in what is a very large crowd of racist Democrat hypocrites, who apparently are of the opinion that all minorities are somehow criminals.  I mean, does he really think that blacks are against having a little more law and order in their own neighborhoods?  Does he think that they are willing to tolerate the black on black crime that continues to take place?  Personally, I think perhaps Matthews hasn't yet gotten used to all of the colored people that he has to interact with and on a pretty regular basis.  And I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he gets a little worried when he sees a dark skinned person walking near him.  

FROM THIS POINT ON TED CRUZ IS DEAD TO ME…

Back when the 2016 presidential campaign season began I was pretty much of the same opinion as everyone else when it came to Donald Trump.  I thought he’d be around for a while and then fade away.  So I was very much in the camp of Ted Cruz.  To the point where when it came time for my state to hold its primary election I very proudly cast my vote for Mr. Cruz.  But as the campaign progressed, despite accusations of questionable campaign tactics, I remained a Cruz supporter albeit, perhaps, a less enthusiastic one.  And it was only after he announced the end of his bid to become our next president that I, feeling I had no other option, resigned myself to climbing onboard the ‘Trump Train’ where I have remained ever since.

So when I heard that Mr. Cruz was going to be speaking at the convention I had some pretty high hopes that he too had finally resigned himself to the fact that Mr. Trump is going to be the man to represent we Republicans come this November.  And I also had high hopes that he was going to be man enough to put the country above any personal ambitions, as well as any hurt feelings he might still possess as a result of a what we all agree was a very contentious and hard fought primary season.  My wife told me not to get my hopes up, and she said I was only going to be disappointed.  And, as is usually the case, she was right.  You’d think that after 31 years of being married to her that I’d know by now to trust her intuition.

I think we’re all familiar with the old adage that describes politics as being a nasty business.  So you would assume that anyone who chooses to involve themselves in such a ‘business’ would have a rather thick skin.  But when all was said and done at the end of Mr. Cruz’s convention speech, it was obvious to everyone watching that when it comes to Mr. Cruz, such is not the case.  However, when Mr. Cruz first began his speech I started to feel a bit more comfortable, even breathing a sigh of relief.  I remember thinking that he was actually going to come through for us, he was going to climb onboard the ‘Trump train’, however begrudgingly, and proceed to put both the party and the country above any petty differences he may have with Trump. 

Mr. Cruz was greeted with rousing cheers as he began his 22-minute speech by congratulating Donald Trump on winning the nomination.  He then spoke about the shooting of Dallas police officer Michael Smith. The hall fell silent as Mr. Cruz told the story of Smith's young daughter who kissed her father goodbye for the very last time on the day that he died.  Things began to take a turn though when Mr. Cruz spoke of others who have "had their lives destroyed by evil."  And he then asked the question: "What if this, right now, is our last time -- our last moment to do something for our families and our country?  Did we live up to the values we say we believe? Did we do all we really could?”  It was at this point that I began to sense that things were coming off the tracks.

And then he went on to say, "We're fighting, not for one particular candidate or one campaign, but because each of us wants to be able to tell our kids and our grandkids that we did our best for their future and our country."  And that was when I think I knew where this speech was headed and how it was going to end, coming to the realization that it would not be how I had hoped.  There was that little voice in the back of my head telling me, no screaming at me, that Mr. Cruz wasn’t going to come through for the team, that he seemed to be more interested in serving up a little revenge, a little payback, and was, perhaps, even hoping to derail the ‘Trump train’ in an attempt to gain some level of satisfaction for himself.

The theme of Mr. Cruz's speech was "freedom," and the crowd loved it, interrupting him repeatedly with cheers and applause.  He said, "Our nation is exceptional because it was built it on the five most beautiful and powerful words in the English language -- I want to be free."  Mr. Cruz said Americans are "rightly furious" at a political establishment that ignores the will of the people. He said, "We have to do better -- we owe our fallen heroes more than that."  He also talked about the "profound difference" between the two parties' vision for the future.  "I am here to tell you there is a better vision for our future. A return to freedom."  At this point it wasn’t clear whether he was talking about Hitlery or Trump.

Mr. Cruz touched on all the right topics, mentioning free speech; religious freedom; the bill of rights guaranteeing everyone's freedom, regardless of sexual orientation; the right to keep and bear arms; the right to life; the requirement that Supreme Court justices to follow the Constitution; and the freedom for states to choose policies that reflect local values.  And he made the point that Hitlery believes government should make those choices for the people.  And it was at the end of his speech that Mr. Cruz described the November election as a fight for freedom.  He said, "We deserve leaders who stand for principle, who unite us all behind shared values, who cast aside anger for love. That is the standard we should expect for everybody.” 

And then he said, "And to those listening. Please. Don't stay home in November.”  He said, "If you love our country and love your children as much as I know that you do -- stand and speak and vote your conscience -- vote for candidates up and down the ticket who you trust to defend our freedom and to be faithful to the Constitution."  It was right about here that the crowd began to get a bit testy as many in the crowd responded with cries of "We want Trump!" and "Endorse Trump!"  To which Cruz responded, "I appreciate the enthusiasm of the New York delegation."  Which some likely perceived, and perhaps rightly so, as an attempt by Cruz to make it quite clear that he didn’t possess the same level of enthusiasm for the candidate.

He went on to say, "And I will tell you, it is love of freedom that has allowed millions to achieve their dreams."  He talked about his mother and father, but the restive crowd was no longer receptive.  Cruz said, "We must make the most of our moments -- to fight for freedom, to protect our God-given rights, even of those with whom we don't agree -- so that when we are old and gray and when our work is done, and we give those we love one final kiss goodbye, we will be able to say freedom matters, and I was part of something beautiful."  So does he mean that it’s only a Cruz candidacy that could have been seen as being that “something beautiful?”  I wonder.  Is he really that egotistical?

Cruz, speaking over the boos, continued saying, "The case we have to make to the American people...the case each person in this room has to make to the American people is to commit to each of them that we will defend freedom and be faithful to the Constitution. We will unite the party, we will unite the country by standing together for shared values, by standing for liberty."  His final God-bless-yous were essentially drowned by the boos as the video cut to a waving Trump behind the scenes.  Cruz accomplished little more than to make himself look very small.  And in the end he came out likely doing more damage to himself than to Trump. But I suppose we’ll see.

Personally, I think the bottom line in all of this is that anyone with a conscience will have little choice but to vote for Trump.  Because there is no magical alternative where if you do not vote for Trump it somehow keeps a pathological liar, treasonous criminal, anti-woman, anti-Black, Anti-Constitution greedy Hitlery Clinton from having control of America in order to finish the ‘fundamental transformation’ that was begun by Barry.  Frankly, I am absolutely terrified for my country, and the fact that there are so many people willing to trust she who is deserving of no one’s trust when it comes to being able to lead this country.  Say what you will about Trump, but on his worst day he would still be better the Hitlery.

And now comes word that Cruz is actually quite busy trying to do some fundraising off his much ballyhooed decision not to endorse Donald Trump for president during his speech last night at the convention which was supposedly in retaliation for Trump insulting his wife and father during the campaign.  But in looking back who was it, exactly that fired the first shot in that skirmish?  Wasn’t that Cruz’s PAC when they decided to go after Mr. Trump’s wife?  So now, despite negative backlash from Chris Christie, Roger Stone, and many others, Cruz now trying to raise money off the controversy?  Cruz blasted out an email asking for people to chip in between $5 and $50 to his 2018 Senate campaign.

Referring to his convention speech, Cruz wrote: “It was an honor to speak to the delegates at the Republican National Convention.  As our cause goes forward, I want to remind you about the stakes.  Americans are furious—rightly so—at a political establishment that cynically breaks its promises and ignores the will of the people.  But there is a better vision for our future: a return to freedom.  If we choose freedom, our future will be brighter.”  So you tell me, what might be the real reason behind his decision not to endorse Trump?  Was it truly because of some insult suffered by his wife and father, or was there maybe something more sinister, such as a deliberate attempt to sabotage the Trump campaign?

And so it was then that for the sake of revenge, the basis for a little fundraising scheme or nothing more than a little payback directed at Trump that has caused Ted Cruz to, quite possibly, have placed my daughter’s future very much at risk.  I’m not some rich senator, I’m just a working stiff who was hoping we could all come together long enough to prevent Hitlery from again setting foot in the White House.  But nope, he just couldn’t bring himself to do it.  So despite his pledge to support our nominee and all his claims about how much he cares about our country, when you get right down to it all he REALLY cares about is himself.  How sad, how truly sad that I could have been fooled into voting for him.  Never again!

THE DEMISE OF THE GOP, OR A REBIRTH??? I GUESS WE’LL SEE…

I recently read somewhere that former President George W. Bush had remarked that he has some concerns regarding the future of the Republican Party.  The remark came at a time when the two top contenders in the Republican race for president were Donald Trump and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.  But I would argue that that would depend upon how it is that Mr. Bush views the direction in which the party has been headed for the last eight years.  And while the fact that Trump has now officially been named the party's presidential nominee is not sitting well with some Republicans, the fact that Trump has come to find himself in such a position can be said to be the direct result of how many of those now opposed to his candidacy have treated the voters.

The Bushes, including both former presidents as well as former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, decided that they would not to be a part of the GOP convention this week.  Neither will prior presidential losers John McCain and Mitt Romney, the failed 2008 and 2012 Republican presidential candidates be in attendance. In total, we’re told that 99 of the top Republicans have opted to skip the convention this week.  Trump's improbable rise in the political arena has gone against the grain of what many feel is the conservative core of their party. That said, when faced with the possible presidency of Hitlery, party members such as House Speaker Paul Ryan have now found themselves onboard the Trump train whether they like it or not.

In breaking his vow to support the party's nominee, Jeb Bush now comes across as being your typical politician who promises to do one thing and then does another when the result isn’t to his liking.  He is a liar and untrustworthy person.  And you know, I’m finding that I don't really miss many of those who have opted out.  I’ve always thought that 43 could have done more to protect us from the Democrat agenda by using the bully pulpit more effectively than he did.  Jeb is a poor sport at best, Romney failed us, and was willing to attack Newt with vim and vigor, yet limp when Barry had bare knuckles owed.  McCain, well, he served in Vietnam, so I suppose he deserves some level of a pass no matter how liberal his alliances, right John?

It was the guys who lost, and many of those who had supported them, who now want Trump to lose for no other reason than so they can then say "I told you so."  Is that how one defines loyalty when one is a political elitist?  Actually, in many respects Trump may very well be the last chance we may have for there to ever be another president elected under the banner of the GOP.  We who have steadfastly supported the Republican Party, and received nothing in return but a sharp stick jabbed in our collective eye, have gotten to the point where we’ve now come to the conclusion that those for who we voted had no intention of making good on the many promises they made.  Hence, we have since decided to turn our attention in another direction.

Let’s face it, in looking back to the failed presidential attempt put forth by the Republican Party in 2012 it was up until the final two months prior to the election Mitt Romney insisted upon prefacing each of his campaign speeches by stating that Barry was really a nice guy as well as a good father, before offering up any amount criticism of what was then being down to our country.  By not applying the arsenal of Barry's failures at that time practically guaranteed Romney's self-defeat.  But while the GOP must change with the times, it’s far from being gone.  Its basic principles of smaller government, less taxes, personal freedom and faith in the Constitution are still vibrant. So rumors of its demise, I believe, are being greatly exaggerated.

But look, I still like 43 and while I do agree that both 41 and Jeb are globalists, call me naïve, but I don’t think that 43 is.  His big mistake, I think, was in surrounding himself with 41’s people particularly Cheney. Cheney got rich off a war that 43 got bogged down in with Cheney pushing him. Remember Ike? He warned of the Shadow Government and military industrial complex.  43 hasn’t attended a convention since 2004 because he felt he would hurt party, but did appear on video in 2008. He has continued to support the military and the police and is still very much active with our disabled vets. Again it’s easy to promise but in that job you have to watch who it is your staff is loyal to. His was to 41 and their own self-interests.

I think his concern when it comes to Trump is that 43 might view Trump as being somewhat of an unknown.  So if I were Trump, and if I were elected, I think at some point after my inauguration I would invite 43 to the White house.  Because while 43 may have some regrets and experienced making some mistakes, he did win the crazy war only to have Barry give the win away.  And because Muslims hate each other, and the rest of the world, they are never going to be peaceful.  And whether Trump wins or not, the GOP will be forever changed.  But I don’t see it as being 43’s fault.  McCain, Romney were bad candidates. Then we gave the GOP both houses of Congress and still they supported Barry’s agenda.  They self-destructed and still have no clue.
