Paul Ryan 2012 vs. Sarah Palin 2008
If yesterday’s excitement in Wisconsin is any example, then Paul Ryan was the right choice to energize the Republican base.
Thinking back to 2008, that’s pretty much the way things started out for Sarah Palin too. Make no mistake, Ryan & Palin are completely different politicians with few similarities, except one: The Left hates them. Correction: The Left needs to hate them.
One wonders if prior to October 1st, that someone who knows someone will have heard from someone that their second cousin saw Paul Ryan treat a female black cashier in a less than courteous manner. Misogynistic Racist!
In anticipation of what’s certain to happen now from the allies of Mr. Hope & Change, a website has been setup: DefendPaulRyan.com

But Glenn Beck Is The Crazy One
As one retired military guy I talked to said, “This is the ultimate mission creep. The Pentagon bright boys understand that we’re not going to have the money anymore to project force overseas so they’re planning to fight in the one place that doesn’t require it: ‘the Homeland’, which is a damned socialist term anyway.”
What strikes me is that this retired big-brain colonel has so little grasp of reality that he should choose the Tea Parties and “extremist militias” for his offensive action scenario. I guess it must be true what folks have been saying for some time — that white Christian “bitter clingers” are the only politically correct evil enemy anymore.
It’s long, but keep reading.

…right in the middle of this so-called state of emergency, when people were in leaky houses and tents, the Attawapiskat Indian band — with three chiefs and 18 band councillors on the payroll — made an important financial decision.

It’s Ryan
“Romney’s Bridge To Conservatives”
A bold choice: “Ryan puts the national debt front and center in the election, on par with or maybe even ahead of jobs. This is a winner of an issue, it’s what motivated people in 2010, and it will cause huge turnout.”

The Sad Fate of Smokers in 2012
This photo was taken last weekend at the Oregon International Airshow in Metro Portland:
First smokers were confined to one area of an establishment. Then they were asked to smoke just outside. Then they were told to smoke down the street. Now they’re corralled into little pens for all to see. Bad, bad smokers.
This is a prime example of the slippery slope of any issue that the Left grabs hold of and people don’t push back on. Any wonder why the NRA won’t compromise on even the smallest issue?
