RUTHFULLY YOURS

If a convenient time machine were to deposit a Roman citizen, circa 140 or so, in Charlotte, he would have no trouble understanding what was going on. Our Roman might not understand a word of what was being said, but he would be able to take one look at the garish costumes, the hysterical air of self-congratulation worn by men and women who have accomplished absolutely nothing in life, and the clownish theatrics and realize exactly what was going on. “Oh no, not again,” would be the last thing he would think just before being lobotomized by a loose heel from Nancy Pelosi.
If bankrupting the country, destroying its economy and using its legal documents to roll joints wasn’t bad enough, the people responsible for all this thought it would be a fine idea to make their national convention about abortion and gay marriage. It was either that or any other random thing that will hit the right buttons on the sort of people who leave their buttons exposed to the air.

The old Democratic convention looked like some music video director’s idea of Olympus. The new one looks like the stage for a concert, something popular, noisy and lip-synched. Any minute now some musician who used to be a waiter two weeks ago before going professionally viral will slink out on stage and begin making mouth movements to recorded music while digital fireworks go off in the background.

http://frontpagemag.com/2012/davidhornik/the-state-of-the-jews/ How well are Jews—and non-Jews—doing with regard to the Jewish state? If the question focuses on the highbrow world, and particularly its predominant persuasion of liberalism (or what is still called by that name), the answer that emerges from Edward Alexander’s new book is—not very well. The State of the Jews: A Critical Appraisal […]

http://frontpagemag.com/2012/mark-tapson/siding-with-savages/print/ Atlas Shrugs blogger Pamela Geller, lightning rod for the hateful fury of the unholy alliance of Islamists and the radical left, is under attack again for daring to run a pro-Israel advertising campaign in New York and San Francisco. Ms. Geller is executive director of the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI) and of Stop […]

In 2008, Hamas and Hezbollah were mentioned in the platform. In 2012, they are no longer even mentioned – much less identified as a threat in the region.

The DNC and Obama are claiming the other was the one who took out God and Jerusalem (and then blaming each other for adding God and Jerusalem back into the platform).

Apparently the DNC and Obama agree that the U.S. should no longer oppose Hamas and Hezbollah in the region.

Here’s what was said in 2008 – http://www.democrats.org/pdf/platform/2008-Democratic-Party-Platform-Renewing-Americas-Promise

http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/the-islamic-kingdom-2 Islam is a brutal, tribal warrior cult that glorifies jihad and martyrdom. The Quran is replete with acts of murder, terrorism, and genocide. Let us look at some explicit provisions of the Quran: * Islam is misogynist. Men are superior to women. Women are to obey men and are to be beaten when they […]

http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/the-likeability-factor?f=puball I keep hearing about “likeability” and how it influences presidential campaigns. Well, obviously, a candidate or an incumbent needs to be liked, but in the end it is his policies, his vision for the nation that matters. President Obama has high likeability ratings, but just being likeable is not going to save him from […]

http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/us-abandons-israel-as-iran-crosses-into-zone-of-immunity Before our eyes, Iran is slipping into what Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak has termed “the zone of immunity” – the position where the critical elements of its nuclear weapons program are so far advanced and so well-protected in underground bunkers that they cannot be destroyed by conventional means. The latest report from the […]

http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2012/09/just_how_much_is_16_trillion.html The U.S. debt clock ticked up over 16 trillion early this morning. Just 10 months ago, I wrote that the clock had struck fifteen trillion. To put that in perspective, The United States government took the first 200 years of its existence to reach one trillion in debt. It has now taken less than […]

Some Love Lost: Dems Drop ‘Special Relationship’ Language from 2012 Platform The pro-Israel news wires have been abuzz over the excision of core pro Israel language from the 2012 Democratic Party Platform. But it is not only the changes in the Democrats’ planks that should be examined. For those who missed it but who care […]

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/09/05/Democrats-change-platform-God-Israel Tonight, the Democratic National Committee suspended the rules of the convention and inserted language regarding God and the State of Israel back to its platform. They had to vote three times to do it – and they had to lie to deem it passed, even though it was clear that the measure did not […]
