Landslide
I've said it before and I'll say it again: on Nov. 6th, 2012, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan will win in a landslide.
The RNC convention, the best one since Reagan's, merely confirmed it. There's definitely a huge shift going on in the GOP and real conservatives are beginning to take back Congress and the Senate!
It'ss take some time but we can turn this country around and get back to our Founding principles.
And let's not forget Gov. Scott Walker's win in Wisconsin, which is a win for the folks of WI! And a huge win for conservatives everywhere! God, Gov. Walker has a huge set of cajones doesn't he? Republicans, take note!
And let's not forget the rise of the Tea Party in 2010!
All of this pushback against leftism and fascism of Obama and the democrat party is a win for our individual liberties.
It's a pushback against lawlessness, political correctness, cronyism, corruption, fraud, waste, injustice in the Justice Dept., and a foreign policy that greatly strengthens Russia, China and terrorist states as well as radical Islamists throughout the middle east.
It's also a pushback against stabbing our Allies in the back and treating them poorly.
It's a renunciation of all of these thigs and more, such as the nat'l security leaks by Obama and his Administration. Leaks that have severely damaged our war against Islamic terrorists.
Leaks that have dealt a devastating blow to our human intelligence networks.
Leaks that have put the lives of our Special Operations guys, CIA operatives, and local informants that want to help in serious risk.
The Pakistani doctor who helped us find Bin Laden? He's serving 30 years in a Pakistani prison, no doubt tortured, because Obama wanted to get him some personal glory and look cool to his celebrity pals...oh, and make a movie that makes him look good.
Think that movie will mention the consequences of Obama's security leaks? Leaks that made all the intelligence our SEAL's gathered useless? Leaks that gave Al Qaeda and other terrorists time to get away before our military could track them down?
No. I don't think so. But if it does, I'll gladly apologize to Katheryn Bigelow and her crew for putting America's security ahead of her friendship to Obama.
Anyways, I look forward to seeing America give Obama and his idiot clan a pink slip on election day!
Let's celebrate a bit shall we?
And in honor of Clint Eastwood, I salute you Sir!
Yeah, that really pisses me off about the Pentagon doing that.
I do wanna make sure ex-military don't leak classified info (intentional or not), but from all accounts there's nothing classified in it (I haven't read it yet, but I know a few ex-military who have and they said it has nothing that hasn't already been said, and I consider them trustworthy).
I would like to know his ex-team mates takes on it, but I believe they are probably still on active duty so they can't say anything until they get out.
The process to screen these type of books is ludicrous and fraught with red tape (not to mention very lengthy) and needs reformed with common sense people doing the reforming.
I hope the ex-SEAL doesn't get prosecuted, but I have a feeling Obama and Holder will come down hard on him because this further exposes Obama's ineptitude and idiocy.
Hi Ben, I dunno. I do share your enthusiasm. Romney is behaving better, ie, more conservatively, than I was expecting and the Ryan selection was smart move. I hope you are right, BUT I think we will simply win. I'm making phone calls and am going to start going door-to-door in our rural county to do what I can to get out the conservative vote. I could not endure the shame of Virgina going blue again.
No, the Raccoon way of the masked pandit is "trans-academic," "trans-scholarly," and "trans-ambitious," meaning that it admittedly comes up short in these overrated qualities. However, our loose canon tries to compensate with other virtues, such as freshness, spontaneity, metaphysical comedy, jehovial witticisms, cheery optimysticism, freevangelical pundamentalism, comparative nonsense, coonical pslackology, fine insultainment, off-road spiritual adventures, speaking in Tongan (or ad homina homina homina) and all the rest of our Oly Slackraments.

"Friends, raccoon's, countremen, lend me your ears:I've said it before, I'll say it again, if you want to know and/or defend your constitution, your nation, your liberty, follow these links and pass them on! The Founders Constitution, hosted by the by The University of Chicago and the Liberty Fund (which includes the Online Library of Liberty, one of the greatest free libraries, online or otherwise), and if you want to see the constitution for the first time or in a new light, I'm telling ya'll, read it here.
For instance, if you scroll down that contents page a bit, to the Preamble, there are 21 links there, from snippets to full documents, that give the background information and perspective that the Founding Fathers had in their minds regarding the Preamble when they debated, wrote, ratified (usually including the relevant Federalist and anti-Federalist papers, as here, Madison, Brutus & Patrick Henry) and later applied by early presidents and re-examined and explained how it was being implemented and interpreted by those who still understood it (Justice Joseph Story's commentaries on teh constitution are outstanding).
Indexes contains several ways of slicing and dicing the site, such as Index of Authors and Documents, which links or lists key documents by key figures of the times, Index of Cases, which links to passages of key court cases that either established precedents, or from historic judgments which influenced how the first cases were judgedIndex of Constitutional ProvisionsArticle 1, Section 8, Clause 6 which seems to be on Bob F.'s mind, dealing with Counterfeiting coins and securities.Aliens & Citizenship... it is and incredibly valuable resource.Those of you with your own blogs, or email lists, please, especially with the situation we are in today, publish this one, promote it.
If We The People, don't understand what we have, and why... there will be no improvement, as a people, or a nation and I'll garauntee you, reading the linked information will help you to 'Know thyself', because as the Founders knew, to govern at all, you had to first be capable of governing yourself.
And, for you cosmonaughts out there, check out Gagdad Bob's outstanding post with his unique metaphysical focus on Truth, Liberty, Christianity and America at: http://onecosmos.blogspot.com/2009/07/saving-world-one-assoul-at-time.html "America's founders knew that man only derived his value by virtue of his relationship to the Absolute. This is a fine example of how metaphysics -- the eternal science -- is enfolded in religion. For to see -- and it is a seeing, not a mere "knowing" -- that men are endowed by their Creator with life and liberty is to affirm that life and liberty have an absolute and infinite value. They are "unalienable." Anything short of this makes our rights quite alienable indeed, meaning, among other things, that we can surrender them to liberals for cash and other valuable prizes."

Geez, why ain't blogger taking my paragraphs? Aargh!
I am hoping you and Bob are right. I do think Wisconsin is going to Romney which would be the start of a landslide certainly.
Kind of amusing that the Pentagon is threatening the retired SEAL who wrote "No Easy Day" when they along with Obama were leaking all over the place.
Hi Mushroom!
Yeah, that really pisses me off about the Pentagon doing that.
