WE ARE GOVERNMENT PROPERTY?! ...
DEMOCRAT CRAZINESS ON DISPLAY ...
JULIA, WHERE ARE YOU? ...

"We belong to the government!"
  The Democrats' message to America. No tyrant in history ever made it clearer.

- - - - -

Heartbreaking. Democrats apparently couldn't round up enough stooges and drunks to fill that big football stadium for Obama's elevation to sainthood tomorrow night, so they're moving it into a much smaller arena. Next they'll be telling us they won't be using the faux-Greek styrofoam columns for the Hollywood production that did four years ago in Denver. Will civilization survive?

When did Barack have time to read all those heart-wrenching letters Michelle talked about when he was spending so much time on his golf game? Enquiring minds want to know ...

We also might wonder when Sandra Fluke-flake, one of the "stars" of the convention tonight, will elaborate on her argument that insurance companies and/or taxpayers should be required to pay for sex-change operations. As well as abortions and contraceptives.

Whatever reservations one might have about Mitt Romney, it's evident that he is not the kind of "go along to get along" Republican who was easy pickings for Obama four years ago. This time the "all hat and no cattle" Democrat president who bluffed his way with a line of bull(bleep) into the White House is facing a candidate who actually wants to win the job, not the "Miss Congeniality" award. With Paul Ryan riding shotgun and doing what VP candidates are supposed to do -- attack -- the ticket clearly has Democrats worried to the point of panic.

We have been unable to determine which Hollywood slutlet might turn up at the Democratic Convention to play the fictional Julia of recent Obama campaign infamy.
     You remember Julia, don't you? The parasite who depended on the government as a cradle-to-grave protector, including giving her birth control so she could get laid as often as possible with no unpleasant consequences. Or, if she did forget to take her pills, buy her an abortion, courtesy of the taxpayers.
     There are endless possibilities as candidates for the role, of course. Some of them actual women not named George.

Wonder how much Democrats will talk about two interesting planks in their campaign platform? I refer, of course, to the planks supporting (A) gay marriage and (B) taxpayer-paid abortions. Would they wish to elaborate on their slap in the face to Israel regarding Jerusalem? Or perhaps give reasons for removing the very word "God" from their platform?

Was there ever a worse speaker than that silly governor of Maryland? In the immortal words of Bugs Bunny, "What a maroon!"

Bill and Hill and Barack and Michelle: Michael Goodwin (NY Post) reflects on how The Dear Leader has dealt with Ms. Clinton ...
     "(He)  kept her inside the tent by making her secretary of state and helped retire her campaign debt. Yet, to this day, the Obamas have not had the Clintons to the White House for a private dinner.
     "All of which brings us to Charlotte, and the unlikely scenario where Bill Clinton will nominate the president for a second term. With Hillary choosing to be on the other side of the world for government business, Bubba will be alone for (tonight's) spectacle.
     "Beyond the lingering personal animus, Bill Clinton will carry a conflict of interest to the podium. He wishes his wife were the incumbent, and he is still no fan of Obama’s presidency.
     "But this is business — the business of protecting his legacy and giving Hillary a final shot at the White House in 2016."

The timing is just ... exquisite. Democrats holding their convention just as our national debt reaches the unheard-of level of $16 trillion, more of which has been run-up by Obama than the first 43U.S. presidents combined.

There's no question that the Democrats were first -- and more adept -- at using the internet to achieve political goals. How rich the irony that Obama and his fellow "progressives" are seriously contemplating ways of taxing use of the internet. Not, mind you, just taxing purchases made over the internet, but actual use of it.

Burt Prelutsky looks over the Democratic convention list of speakers and offers these observations ...
     "I find the proposed speakers lined up by the Democrats to address their convention bizarre, to say the least. I mean, do they really think any sane person regards Jimmy Carter as the grand old man of their party. He’s the guy who pulled the rug out from under the Shah of Iran, which swung open the door for the Ayatollah Khomeini and unleashed Islamic terrorism on the entire world.
     "As if Carter isn’t enough to besmirch any event at which he appears, even in a video, the Democrats have lined up a slew of women to confirm that the GOP has declared war on their gender. Frankly, I can’t even imagine how ignorant a woman has to be in order to convince herself that husbands and fathers as loyal and dedicated to their families as Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are looking to victimize women.
     "What’s particularly weird about the lineup is that at least two of the featured speakers are lesbians. Understand, I’m not using that word as a pejorative. But for the longest time, we’ve heard liberal women say that where birth control and abortion are concerned, men have no right to voice an opinion. If they believe that, what right do lesbians have? Birth control and abortion are certainly two issues that have even less to do with them than with men."

"In 2008, Obama excited young voters with his promise of 'hope and change.' What will the Democrats' message be this week, 'Cross your
fingers, and hope for the best?''' -- Columnist Debra Saunders

- - - - -

Liberal Mike Lupica of the NY Daily News views ("Hush, Hush Sweet ...) Charlotte with alarm ...
      "Most people about to get fired don’t get the chance to talk their way out of it. President Obama tries to do that in Charlotte on Thursday night, then all the way to November 6, trying not to become the first incumbent to lose his job since George H.W. Bush.
      “'Speeches got me here,' he said in private one day, early in his first term. But even he has to know it will take more than speeches to save him this time, no matter what kind of soaring rhetoric he offers at the Democratic Convention."

Note to many writers: "Reign" and "rein" mean two different things. "Reign" refers to the ruling period of a king or other authority figure. "Rein" is term originally applied to the leather straps used to guide a horse, generically applied to the power to direct events.

Call this "Today's Chapter on Crazy Judges" ...
     A man who calls himself Michelle Kosilek is serving a life sentence in Massachusetts state prison for murdering his wife.
     He has decided he wants to be a woman. A federal ... FEDERAL ... judge named Mark Wolf has decided the taxpayers should pay for this murderous creep to get a sex-change operation.
     He was nominated to the federal bench by Ronald Reagan.
     I kid you not.

From reader Ron, a classic ...
     "A penny saved is a government oversight."

Some fact-checkers say the revelation about Obama's foreign student registration at Occidental College is unsubstantiated. I don't know. Given the reality that "fact-checkers" themselves have fallen into disrepute for their own lying on behalf of the Big Zero, my prefacing yesterday's item with "Make of this what you will" seems sufficient.
     Since Obama has lied so much about so many things like his fictional "composite" white girlfriend, concealed so much of his personal history and was identified by his literary agent and Harvard Law Review bio has having been born in Kenya, plus admitting it on video, I'm not sure that one more reference makes any difference.
     If any Obama fans are upset, I have a two-word response consisting of a verb and a pronoun.

You can readily find details on the internet, but the long-and-short of Stanford University's extensive study of the supposed health benefits of eating more expensive organic foods comes down to this: you're wasting your money.
     ...and speaking of dietary matters ...
A study by Cornell University of last meals ordered by convicts just before walking that last mile finds that they usually order unhealthy and fattening meals. As if they don't care about their health.

Jimmy Fallon --
      "Joe Biden is seriously considering running for president in 2016. Yeah, 'seriously' — which is interesting, because voters’ reaction to that was, 'Seriously??'”
