Selected excerpts from HRC’s speech at the DNC tonight…

I am honored to be here tonight. A proud mother. A proud Democrat. A proud American. And a proud supporter of Barack Obama.

I notice she didn’t say anything about being a proud wife…

I ran for President to renew the promise of America. To rebuild the middle class and sustain the American Dream, to provide the opportunity to work hard and have that work rewarded, to save for college, a home and retirement, to afford the gas and groceries and still have a little left over each month. To promote a clean energy economy that will create millions of green collar jobs. To create a health care system that is universal, high quality, and affordable so that parents no longer have to choose between care for themselves or their children or be stuck in dead end jobs simply to keep their insurance.

Why, after eight years as the first lady, was this universal health care thing not done during the Clinton presidency? What am I missing?

To create a world class education system and make college affordable again.

Harvard University… The most elite community college in the world.

To fight for an America defined by deep and meaningful equality – from civil rights to labor rights, from women’s rights to gay rights, from ending discrimination to promoting unionization to providing help for the most important job there is: caring for our families. To help every child live up to his or her God-given potential.

That unionization thing isn’t working all that well for those UAW fellas.

To bring fiscal sanity back to Washington and make our government an instrument of the public good, not of private plunder.

The public good, as defined by whom?

We need a President who understands that we can’t solve the problems of global warming by giving windfall profits to the oil companies while ignoring opportunities to invest in new technologies that will build a green economy.

How exactly is the GWB doing that now? By NOT nationalizing the oil companies? I like the green economy thing. Right out of the NDP playbook. It worked for the.. never mind.

He’ll transform our energy agenda by creating millions of green jobs and building a new, clean energy future. He’ll make sure that middle class families get the tax relief they deserve. And I can’t wait to watch Barack Obama sign a health care plan into law that covers every single American.

What exactly is a “green job” and who creates it? And at what cost? As for the health care plan, good luck with that, BHO.

Now, John McCain is my colleague and my friend. He has served our country with honor and courage. But we don’t need four more years . . . of the last eight years. More economic stagnation …and less affordable health care. More high gas prices …and less alternative energy. More jobs getting shipped overseas …and fewer jobs created here. More skyrocketing debt …home foreclosures …and mounting bills that are crushing our middle class families. More war . . . less diplomacy. More of a government where the privileged come first …and everyone else comes last. John McCain says the economy is fundamentally sound. John McCain doesn’t think that 47 million people without health insurance is a crisis. John McCain wants to privatize Social Security. And in 2008, he still thinks it’s okay when women don’t earn equal pay for equal work.

Remind again. How did GWB create all those bad things in the economy? And when did McCain think it OK for women not to earn equal pay for equal work? I missed that handout.
Now the one thing HRC did not mention is that she thought BHO would be the best person for the job of President, or that he would make a well qualified Commander-In-Chief. That was noticably absent.
HRC played her part to help unite the Democrats, but she didn’t make any extra effort.
I think she’s waiting for 2012. Or for the USSR to rise again…

DNC Love-in Day 2 … bump in the polls:

I figured he was bidding his time and numbing the pain until he could see her again.
All salute Jim.

…but what’s Barack’s excuse for not know what city he’s in? He begins speaking at 1:30 of the clip.
Before that, we get to endure Keith “Bathtub Boy” Olbermann’s emotional erection of how he thinks Michelle Obama’s speech went.

Does anyone one else find it peculiar that his daughter asks her father what city he was in after Barry said he was in St. Louis?

Because Madonna is just plain gross.

I often wonder if this is more or less how Canadians view Americans at times.

For those interested in the latest on the Barry Dunham – Berg fireworks, America’s Right has two interesting posts up.
One is an interview with Philip (even a broken clock is right twice a day) Berg, and the other a Q & A by Schreiber.

I was surprised just how common abortion is.

Toronto, Canada, is about to become the first North American city of over 500,000 inhabitants to become gun-crime free. All it took was the courage and determination of Toronto’s resolute mayor and the farsightedness of the Toronto city council:

I’ll keep this in mind the next time my family and I spend a day at our local gun club, where we’ll go though about 200 rounds of .45 auto; 200 rounds of 9mm; 200 rounds of 40 cal.; and about 500 rounds of .22. We will, each and every one of us, drink in the freedom and common sense of Western Canada and thank our lucky stars that we haven’t been infected with the strange brain disease that afflicts so many who live in Canada’s Toronto shit-pit.

Where the foxes caper unmolested, the government packs your school lunch and UNICEF declares the whole country unfit to raise children:

Britain is the worst country in the Western world in which to be a child, according to a recent UNICEF report. Ordinarily, I would not set much store by such a report; but in this case, I think it must be right—not because I know so much about childhood in all the other 20 countries examined but because the childhood that many British parents give to their offspring is so awful that it is hard to conceive of worse, at least on a mass scale. The two poles of contemporary British child rearing are neglect and overindulgence.
[…]
I suspect, however, that the main consideration inhibiting elite criticism of MacKeown is that passing judgment would call into question the shibboleths of liberal social policy for the last 50 or 60 years—beliefs that give their proponents a strong sense of moral superiority. It would be to entertain the heretical thought that family structure might matter after all, along with such qualities as self-restraint and self-respect; and that welfare dependency is unjust to those who pay for it and disastrous for those who wind up trapped in it.

For some reason, this reminded me of the current US presidential campaign and what I believe will be the end result come November 04th/2008.
See if you can pick out the “Obama” fighter and the “McCain” fighter.

Mr. BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA; BARACK SOETORO; BARRY SOETORO; BARRY OBAMA; BARRY DUNHAM; and BARACK DUNHAM may even be a Canadian citizen:

A prominent Philadelphia attorney and Hillary Clinton supporter filed suit this afternoon in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania against Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, the Democratic National Committee and the Federal Election Commission. The action seeks an injunction preventing the senator from continuing his candidacy and a court order enjoining the DNC from nominating him next week, all on grounds that Sen. Obama is constitutionally ineligible to run for and hold the office of President of the United States.

Oh my …. THIS looks very ugly:

WHEREFORE,
Plaintiff respectfully prays that this Court:
A. Declare that Defendant Barack Hussein Obama, a/k/a Barry
Obama, a/k/a Barry Soetoro, a/k/a Barack Soetoro, a/k/a Barry Dunham, a/k/a
Barack Dunham is ineligible to run for United States Office of the President under
the United States Constitution, Article II, Section I;
B. Preliminary and permanently enjoin Defendant Barack Hussein
Obama, a/k/a Barry Obama, a/k/a Barry Soetoro, a/k/a Barack Soetoro, a/k/a
Barry Dunham, a/k/a Barack Dunham from running for United States Office of
the President;

Like every cop knows, there’s nothing more dangerous than domestic violence or a family feud.

Now start making with the “bam bam!”

Here’s what you get when you cross a hippie with a not-so-closet Communist:

“Our aggressive military activities in Afghanistan are foolish and wrong,”
[…]
“The Pashtun (people) have extremely different values than ours, values we may not agree with in any case, but it’s not our business to try and teach them lessons with weapons,”
[…]
“Because, in fact, they’ll be the ones teaching us lessons.
“We’re going to have to leave the place or there’ll be nothing left of us or of whatever we’ve done, except the blood we’ve lost there after we leave. So it’s better we leave now.”

Personally, I prefer Patton:

The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.

RAWLCO asks us what we think should be done … poll in right sidebar.

Has the increase in fuel costs dampened your love affair?

However many SUVs there are to choose from, our love affair with these mighty vehicles is in danger. Soaring gas prices threaten to eliminate any vehicle posting less than 12 gallons per mile. Moreover, Darwinian Law dictates that a vehicle unable to corner at speeds over 17 MPH may indeed succumb to natural selection. Nevertheless, however shaky the future of the SUV may look, we can rest assured knowing that at least one French inventor is spinning in his grave as he looks over what has become of his cherished creation.

This has New Coke written all over it.

3 Canadian soldiers were killed in Afghanistan today. What caught my attention was that the last several Canadian deaths have involved soldiers on their third rotations to Afghanistan. Being somewhat familiar with the way things work in the CF, I know that not a single Canuck serving in Afghanistan is there against his or her will. In fact, Canadian soldiers are lined up to go in numbers too great to accommodate … there are that many who want a chance at the mission.
What amazes me more than the heroism and willingness of our soldiers, is the continued view by some that soldiers are either victims or felons. I suppose it’s a natural reaction for those who can’t fathom the fact that there are those among us who rush in when most flee … and who stand fast when most recoil.
For Canadian soldiers though, the mission has long ago ceased being just about 911 … and has instead become about helping the people of Afghanistan. That is, without a doubt, the single most common theme expressed by those who have been “over there“.
Junker @ Cjunk contemplates the issues in Might, Will, and Sacrifice:

So where does the tally of might, will, and sacrifice leave us? To be sure, might is most visible, and leans heavily in the west’s favor, even though eastern asymmetrical warfare has dealt deadly blows in the past. A mere 60 years ago western societies had the will to see through the bloodiest conflict in history, whether or not they could do it again today is uncertain. Most worrying of all is the modern day West’s threshold for sacrifice. Can a society willing to give up so little overcome another that is destined to be much more numerous, and willing to give up so much more? Only time will tell.
