    Drudge headline; They booed putting God back; Democrats change platform to add God, Jerusalem.

    CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Needled by Mitt Romney and other Republicans, Democrats hurriedly rewrote their convention platform Wednesday to add a mention of God and declare Jerusalem the capital of Israel after President Barack Obama intervened to order the changes.
    The embarrassing reversal was compounded by chaos and uncertainty on the convention floor. Three times Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, the convention chairman, called for a voice vote on the changes and each time the yes and no votes seemed to balance each other out. On the third attempt, Villaraigosa ruled the amendments were approved — triggering boos from many in the audience.
    The episode exposed tensions on Israel within the party, put Democrats on the defensive and created a public relations spectacle as Obama arrived in the convention city to claim his party’s nomination for a second term.
    “There was no discussion. We didn’t even see it coming. We were blindsided by it,” said Noor Ul-Hasan, a Muslim delegate from Salt Lake City, who questioned whether the convention had enough of a quorum to even amend the platform.

    They’re comming apart, I tell ya’. I mentioned last night that they aren’t even trying to get middle of the road undicided vote, just shore their left wing, nut-job base of losers. I don’t think that it’ll be enough.

    Which part of the Dem Convention did you enjoy the most? Was it the part where they booed God, or the part where they booed Isreal? Was it the tribute to the guy who left a woman to drown in the back seat of his car or the one who cheated on his wife while she slept upstars, then lied about it in court? Or was it the the lady who pretended to be a Cherokee so she could qualify for a minority set aside, thus insuring that someone who was supposed to benefit from it never got the chance?

    One of my favorite DNC moments was finding out Barack had a coffee table he drug from the garbage and drove a car with the floorboard rotted out, all while being a lawyer. If the people had known he managed his personal finances so poorly in 2008, we might not be in this mess. 😀

    I liked the illegal alien speech, also President Clinton said more nice things about GW Bush than all RNC speakers combined.
    These guys don’t seem to be as embarrassed about their candidate as the other guys. They most certainly mention his name more often, and I didn’t hear the word cult.

    What I DO know is that if you mention God or Isreal just once at a Democrat convention, two thirds of the people there will boo.

Now they’re having to deal with the fact that the Democrat Establishment had to ignore two thirds of the delegates in order to out God and Isreal back in their platform.

    Religion and government are both best when they are separated from each other, as the framers of this exceptional secular nation discovered over 200 years ago.

    Where the preamble declares, that coercion is a departure from the plan of the holy author of our religion, an amendment was proposed by inserting “Jesus Christ,” so that it would read “A departure from the plan of Jesus Christ, the holy author of our religion;” the insertion was rejected by the great majority, in proof that they meant to comprehend, within the mantle of its protection, the Jew and the Gentile, the Christian and Mohammedan, the Hindoo and Infidel of every denomination.
    -Thomas Jefferson

    Today’s republican party is controlled by dominionist fundies with a strong desire to impose their specific flavor of fairy tale on an entire nation. At first, I was surprised that the keynote speaker at their convention wasn’t a burning bush, but then I remembered that no Bushes were allowed to speak at the convention of God’s Own Party.

    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

    Don’t see anything in there about saying God. In fact, it guarantees that you can say God whenever you want to. It does prohibit, however, a Government mandated religion. (Think Church of England from the olden days.)

    The language in question was there for years and made no establishment of any kind of religion. The gentleman you quoted wrote this a bit earlier in his illustrious career:

    We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

    How is that so different than the phrase “God-given” that had been in the Democrat platform?

    #18 OTL: What the pagans frequently refuse to recognize is that the terms religion and denomination were used interchangeably in that time. Today we realize that those of different Christian denominations still practice the same religion which is Christianity. With respect to the Church of England, the Anglican Church, one had to be a member in good standing of same in order to have any hope of success in England. It was that requirement, to be a member in good standing of the denomination of the Anglican Church (as opposed to Catholic or Methodist, etc) that the founders deemed to be a grievous violation of religious liberty. In every state constitution up until the 1900s in order to serve that state in political office, one had to profess faith in Christ, but there was no religious test, meaning denominational requirement.
    Just like everything else that has to do with evil and the father of all lies, those adherents must base their beliefs on a lie or a crime. This religion/denomination confusing is just another example of them intentionally muddying the water in order to advance their foul agenda.

    From the Supreme Court:

    Chief Justice Burger’s opinion for the Court in Lynch began by expanding on the religious heritage theme exemplified by Marsh; other evidence that ”’we are a religious people whose institutions presuppose a Supreme Being”’ was supplied by reference to the national motto ”In God We Trust,” the affirmation ”one nation under God” in the pledge of allegiance. The benefit to religion was called ”indirect, remote, and incidental,” and in any event no greater than the benefit resulting from other actions that had been found to be permissible, e.g. the provision of transportation and textbooks to parochial school students, various assistance to church-supported colleges, Sunday closing laws, and legislative prayers. The Court also reversed the lower court’s finding of entanglement based only on ”political divisiveness.”

    Maybe she needs to check a history book. It wasn’t just the Texas territory (colony), there was a bunch of Mexican States, too.

    Long-running political and cultural clashes between the Mexican government and the settlers in Texas were exacerbated after conservative forces took control and the Siete Leyes (Seven Laws) of 1835 were approved. It displaced the federal Constitution of 1824 with the 1835 Constitution of Mexico, thereby ending the federal system and establishing a provisional centralized government in its place. The new laws were unpopular throughout Mexico, leading to secession movements and violence in several Mexican states.

    Well, poor Joe Biden got bumped out of the role of nominating the president last night. It was probably because of the potential gaffes he might make. So here is the “Top Ten” gaffes that Joe will make in tonight’s “introduction” speech:
    1) If you are not better off now then you were four years ago, it was “big government’s” fault.
    2) It is a pleasure to be the “court jester” in King Obummer’s court.
    3) Making gaffes comes natural to me and it is expected of me.
    4) Bill did as good a job at lying as I would have done.
    5) Hillary was suppose to replace me but she didn’t want to be on a losing ticket.
    6) Those gaffes were originals, he didn’t plagiarize them.
    7) Thankful that Barry didn’t dump him but who else wants to be with this loser.
    8) Since he couldn’t nominate Obummer, he wants to nominate himself for 2016.
    9) Doesn’t need a teleprompter to say the same stupid things that Obummer would say.
    10) That you don’t want Hillary in 2016 because that would allow Bill back into the White House.
    I hope I didn’t forget any other gaffes so feel free to add to my list.

    Now the best for last, here are the “Top Ten” highlights of Obummer’s acceptance speech:
    1) That Obamacare was the socialized medicine you didn’t want but he forced it on you anyway.
    2) That it was he who snuck into Pakistan and personally took out Osama Bin Laden but he gave the credit to Navy Seal Team Six.
    3) That the grade he gives to the first term of his administration was suppose to be “incompetent” not “incomplete”.
    4) That the rich people stole your money and as “Robin Hood” it was his job to get it back.
    5) That “you didn’t build that”, that “big government” made you successful so he and the federal government were here to take it back.
    6) That if your vote was for sale, he still had stimulus money to buy it.
    7) That he needed a second term because he couldn’t afford MooMoo’s eating habits.
    8) That those corrections to the Dummycrat platform should have been Allah instead of God and those Jews were the rich and he wanted their money for the poor.
    9) That a monument to his “teleprompter” should be erected because it really ran this country.
    10) And finally, if things do not turn around, that on Nov. 5th he will declare “Marshall Law” and fix everything himself.
    Now this is going to be one heck of a speech.

    Good morning Hamsters. Must convince self that the 74 this morning is but an appetizer for what comes on Saturday with the cool front. Of course we have two more days of mid-upper 90s to survive.
    Yesterday was kinda lost. Spouse had an accident on the way to work around 6:45 am near the exit on Ft. Bend/Westpark Tollway and Beltway 8. The line of cars exiting has a traffic light and left turn to negotiate just beyond an underpass if you’re going north on the Beltway. Going south it’s a straight shot to the feeder road on the right. Light must have changed and everyone slams on the brakes, except spouse couldn’t completely stop, and the front end of our car went under the bumper of an Escalade. Nobody hurt, no airbags deployed, and the car got the worst of it with crunched front end and broken radiator. Not hit from behind, thankfully.
    Spouse called to say it would have to be towed, radiator water all over the ground. And I would have to come get him. He took pictues of our car and the Escalade with this cell phone before the car was towed off to the parking lot of a convenience store at Bellaire and Beltway 8. About an hour later I managed to get there through awful morning rush traffic on city streets–could not get on the tollway as it was a parking lot even out near Grand Parkway. We got back home about 9:15, and spouse went straight to our insurance agency. They arranged to spring the car from the infamous storage lot system and have it brought to a repair facility the company believes provides good service and is relatively nearby. Maybe by Friday or Monday we will find out what the extent of damage is and whether it is worth repairing in the company’s opinion. It’s a 2007 Lucerne that just went over 50,000 miles and has had only minor repairs. Up until yesterday morning, it had attracted at least three unsolicited offers to buy it sight unseen by Buick dealers. Expect that will not be happening again. 🙁

    Well, Aggie Beau is certainly popular. He went to the California office to help straighten things out, and was only supposed to be gone for a few days. They’re trying to force a coup and steal him for much longer. He’s stressed out big time, and Lovely is being flown out there to provide emotional support, especially since he may be absent for much longer. His bosses are trying to retrieve their prize employee, but we’ll see.
    Keep them both in your prayers. I’ve been in highly stressful job situations, and I know what it’s like. I’m assuming her boss (nice) is being understanding about the situation.

    The new DNC button: “Once you vote black you never go back.”
    Nothing racist there. I guess the RNC could have had buttons that said: “Once you vote white, you’ll know what’s right.”
    Except most Republicans don’t care about color. Color has nothing to do with knowing right or wrong in leading a nation. Not only would holy crap have arisen if a button like that had made an appearance – from the delegates – but they probably wouldn’t have sold.

    A former MF Global employee accused former president William J. Clinton of collecting $50,000 per month through his Teneo advisory firm in the months before the brokerage careened towards its Halloween filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
    Teneo was hired by MF Global’s former CEO Jon S. Corzine to improve his image and to enhance his connections with Clinton’s political family, said the employee, who asked that his name be withheld because he feared retribution.
    “They were supposed to be helping Corzine improve his image as a CEO—I guess you can tell how that went,” he said. Corzine resigned as CEO and chairman November 4.

    In answer to your question from last night, mharper…..

    Rahm Emanuel, the mayor of Chicago, said on Wednesday that he had stepped down from his honorary position as co-chairman of President Obama’s re-election campaign to help raise money for Priorities USA Action, a super PAC founded by two former Obama aides.
    The deployment of Mr. Emanuel — a former chief of staff to Mr. Obama and an aggressive fund-raiser with close ties to the Obama and Clinton donor networks — gives Democratic groups for the first time a dedicated rainmaker of a stature similar to Karl Rove, the strategist who advises a network of Republican outside groups that are expected to spend as much as $500 million in this election cycle. Mr. Emanuel will also raise money for two super PACs supporting Democrats in Congress, beginning with a fund-raiser in Chicago on Monday for House Majority PAC.
    “I just find all the special-interest money lined up on the other side, tilting the scales in a way that I don’t want to see. So if I can help, I’m going to help,” Mr. Emanuel said in an interview on Wednesday. His considerable campaign energies, Mr. Emanuel said, would be best spent helping Mr. Obama where he really needed help.

    #62 Texpat, About 3 years ago I had to go to a class for a week in Gardnerville Nevada located in the Carson Valley. The population was exploding up and down the valley because the folks were fleeing across the California border. The downside was the real estate prices were going through the roof. The people leaving California were selling 1100 square foot bungalows built in the 40’s-50’s for $500,000 and moving into modern 3000 square foot houses for $300,000, but talking to the locals, these houses sold for $200,000 or less before the invasion. Oh and Nevada has NO state income tax.

    Well this should work,….NOT
    Barack Obama to hail himself as the new Franklin D. Roosevelt: President promises ‘bold, persistent’ leadership like FDR during the Great Depression.
    Just one little problem with that, never mind that the Democrats have been re-writing history, FDR’s programs NEVER worked and kept the country in the depression longer than if he had done nothing. WW II got us out of the depression NOT FDR. Don’t believe me?
    read what his Treasury Secretary said.

    “We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work. And I have just one interest, and if I am wrong … somebody else can have my job. I want to see this country prosperous. I want to see people get a job. I want to see people get enough to eat. We have never made good on our promises… I say after eight years of this Administration we have just as much unemployment as when we started… And an enormous debt to boot!” – Henry Morganthau, FDR’s Treasury Secretary, May 1939
    And for the record, in April 1939, the unemployment rate was 20.7%. Anybody who thinks that FDR’s policies did anything but dig us deeper into depression are morons.
    But few Americans have ever heard those words from that FDR economic official. It’s an example of the kind of thing the mainstream media – or what should more accurately be called the progressive propaganda conspiracy – is designed to prevent you from knowing. They regard themselves as “gatekeepers” of the news, and they want to be able to decide what you get to know and what you should not know.
    If you knew that FDR’s very own Treasury Secretary had openly admitted that FDR’s economic policy had failed, you would probably not want to try that path again. And the mainstream media – which is firmly under the control of the liberal/progressive/socialist/Democrat agenda – simply doesn’t want you to come to such an accurate and informed opinion.
    So it really shouldn’t surprise me very much that I was unaware of the words of “President Barack Obama’s top economic adviser,” Lawrence H. Summers, on the economic policies of FDR:

    Not so much. WWII simply masked the underlying problems and distracted everyone. The Great Depression actually ended around 1948 or so IIRC.

    #75 wagonburner you are right of course, but don’t you think that the gearing up of the “War Machine” got ALL of the heavy industry rolling at such a rate that AFTER the war there was only one way and that would up. In any case I’ll not argue that the real recovery DID happen after the war.

    It’s beginning to clear up at the DNC, although there’s still a couple cells moving through.

    The afternoon downpour soaked people outside of Bank of America Stadium, where Obama was originally supposed to speak. Instead, he’ll deliver the address at the smaller Time Warner Cable Arena.

    That nice UPS driver just stopped by to see me, I always love it when he shows up because he has NEAT stuff. This time it was a box of 50, 32-20 rounds loaded by Black Hills ammo outta Rapid City SD. 20 years ago you’d have a real hard time finding 32-20 ammo because it’s an old obsolete black powder load. But with the “Cowboy Action Shooting” matches they’re making a small come back. They’re popular because back in the old west they made 44-40 and 32-20 pistols (Colt) and rifles (Winchester) in these calibers, that way a guy only had to have one kind of ammo.
    Son-in-Law ‘s grandpa gave him an old Smith & Wesson M & P 32-20 made in 1906-1907, (I looked it up) so I figured he neede some ammo and he wouldn’t find it around here. 😉

    DNC kicks butt in ratings on Tuesday. 4 million more folks watched the Democrats than Republicans.

    The Nielsen Co. said about 26.2 million people watched the opening night of the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday in Charlotte, N.C., where the first lady was the featured speaker.
    Last week, Nielsen said 22.3 million watched the first night of the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla., where potential first lady Ann Romney talked about her husband, Mitt. The same number of viewers watched the Democrats’ first night in 2008, when Michelle Obama was also the featured speaker.

    Well here’s a moral dilemma.
    We know the Republicans have a fondness for strip clubs, and an animosity towards the arts.

    A strip club just outside of Albany called Nite Moves made the case Wednesday in New York’s Court of Appeals that its cover charge ($11) and lap dance fees ($20 for three minutes) shouldn’t be subject to the state’s eight percent sales tax because naked dancing is an art form, not unlike ballet.

    It comes out at the Occupy Austin trial that the primary provocateur was actually an Austin undercover police officer. Apparently he built and delivered the “criminal instruments” that the defendants are accused of using.

    “One of the things Shannon especially was doing, he would pull people aside from the general conversation and say debating isn’t really the answer. We need to escalate the tactics and move to action,” said Austin protester Ronnie Garza. “That’s the kind of character we’re dealing with.”

    I’m watching “Sanford & Son”. It features diversity – the characters are all black. Of the main characters, one is a black man actually making a living, even if it is dealing with junk, and not sitting around waiting for the government to take care of him. The other guy may be surly, but at least he’s funny.

    Scarlett Johannson confesses to voter fraud!?!

    When I was a little girl, my mother—a registered Democrat—would take me into the polling booth, and tell me which buttons to press and when to pull the lever. Is that even legal? I remember the excitement I felt in that secret box, and feeling like my mom’s vote wasn’t just about the candidate, it was about our family—and all the families just like ours.

    She’s a hottie!

    If anything, the gearing up for the unnatural demand caused by WWII would have caused a sharp recession/depression immediately afterward. That did happen to a degree, but was ameliorated by the fact that there was virtually no industrial capacity remaining in the world outside of the US & Canada to rebuild shattered economies and societies.
    This is why stimulus programs don’t work. They rely on creating artificial demand which does nothing but provide busy work or pulls demand forward in time. If the gearing up for the war effort were the real reason for the end of the depression, we could simply build lots of airplanes, tanks, guns, ammo, etc. and dump it into the ocean to end a recession.
    Obviously, that does not work. What works is allowing industrial capacity to be employed satisfying real demand. Applied to our scenario, that would mean we could stimulate the economy by building guns, planes, tanks, etc., use them to destroy someone else’s industrial base, then satisfy the resulting demand for products to help them rebuild.
    Although we would then shortly encounter the “broken window fallacy”.

    Although of German ancestry, I never got a student loan. So the local semitic population is safe from me at least.

    Not that it’s not a good idea to give students loans, it certainly is a good idea to give them loans. But if you can ignore the Constitution to do something good today, tomorrow you will be ignoring the Constitution to do something bad. You could. There are more people in our, in America today of German ancestry than any other [inaudible]. The Holocaust that occurred in Germany — how in the heck could that happen? And when you start down the wrong road, it can be a very slippery slope.

    I’m sure I mentioned my great Uncle “Luigi” Shamaaloni

    One day Uncle Shamaaloni was walking along a New Jersey beach and was deep in prayer. All of a sudden he said out loud, “God, grant me one wish.” Suddenly the sky clouded above his head and in a booming voice God said, “Because you have had the faith to ask, I will grant you one wish.” Uncle Luigi said, “Build a bridge to Italy, so I can drive over anytime I want to.”
    God said, “Your request is very materialistic. Think of the logistics of that kind of undertaking. The supports required to reach the bottom of the ocean! The concrete and steel it would take! I can do it, but it is hard for me to justify your desire for worldly things. Take a little more time and think of another wish, a wish you think would honor and glorify me.”
    Uncle Luigi thought about it for a long time. Finally he said, “God, I have been married and divorced four times. All of my wives said that I am uncaring and insensitive. Here is my wish: I would like to know how to make a woman happy.
    After a few minutes God said, “You want two lanes or four on that bridge?”

    This one involves Uncle Luigi and his cousin Guido Shamaaletti
    A bus stops and Uncle Luigi and cousin Guido get on. They sit down and engage in an animated conversation.
    The lady sitting behind them ignores them at first, but her attention is galvanized when she hears cousin Guido say the following:
    “Emma come first.
    Den I come.
    Den two asses come together.
    I come once-a-more.
    Two asses, they come together again.
    I come again and pee twice.
    Then I come one lasta time.”
    “You foul-mouthed swine, ” retorted the lady indignantly. “In this country we don’t talk about our sex lives in public!”
    “Hey, coola down lady,” says cousin Guido.
    “Who talkin’ abouta sexa? I’m a justa tellin’ my frienda how to spella Mississippi.”

    We honor the strivers, the dreamers, the risk-takers who have always been the driving force behind our free enterprise system – the greatest engine of growth and prosperity the world has ever known.
    But we also believe in something called citizenship – a word at the very heart of our founding, at the very essence of our democracy; the idea that this country only works when we accept certain obligations to one another, and to future generations.

    Well I spent a most pleasant evening at a Greater Fort Bend County Tea Party general meeting. Arrived home about 8:30 to find spouse watching a WWII documentary and so did not disturb that. At 9 we pulled up another episode of Deep Space Nine and enjoyed that refreshing escape from the DNC.
    All the argument over God mention in or God mention out of the Dem platform, likewise Jerusalem as capital of Israel, was displayed in a most unseemly manner yesterday. The hasty restoration of same by declaring the third yea voice vote to be carried when it was obvious that the nays were the winners of all three (!) votes manifests how panicky the Dems are about their reckless embrace of radicalism at this convention. They caught hell for it and beat a disorderly retreat–by any means necessary.
    Ended up watching the last few minutes on Fox while waiting for the delayed 10 o’clock news on 11. Could not stomach the CBS version while waiting. The Dems did an about face in having Cardinal Dolan, Archbishop of New York, give the benediction as he had at the GOP convention. The Dems had stonewalled his offer to appear at their clambake and was rebuffed/ignored. Somebody must have decided they needed to try to mend all the torn fences their radicalism had broken, so there he was. He did not disappoint and gave them the stern lecture they so richly had coming in his benediction. I was waiting for some idiots to boo him in the midst of it, but nobody did. The Dems did not cover themselves in glory. Umm perhaps with something else…. But that’s their problem.
