You might have noticed quite a few minority speakers on the Republican stage; well, you wouldn't have noticed those minority speakers if you were watching MSNBC because they cut away to their talking heads every time an Artur Davis or a Mia Love took the stage. At least that's what Newsbusters says....[SNIP]
I actually heard the word "love" over and over. I heard a call for leadership. A call for action. A call to save our country from the vast caverns of debt our leaders have led us into.See, because I actually watched the RNC Convention, I processed the fact that the Republican bench is deep, wide and diverse.
Some of the racist howlers claim that Republicans can't just "throw a brown face" into their convention and pretend that they're diverse.
Yet their speakers last night were very diverse, even if MSNBC was reluctant to disclose that fact.
But, the squealers will squeal, those rascally Republicans had to dig hard to find those "brown faces."
Uh, no.
They did not.
While it is true that many in the Republican audience are white (though statistically DNC delegates are wealthier many of whom are white), those who are leading states are not!
Admittedly I'm deeply partisan when it comes to loving this country, individual rights and despising big unwieldy unaccountable government, but I also sporadically watched and wrote about the reprehensible DNC convention here:
The point of a convention is to ramp your people up. The point of a convention is to BE partisan.Now, I've never claimed to be objective. I'm also not a Republican.
These people are nasty. This convention is filled with hate, abortion and lies.
I understand partisanship; it's what elections are about.
But this is ugliness. A great example is in the video below of Ted Strickland and his mean little snipes about Romney.
I mean really?
Rich people making fun of rich people for being rich?
Rich people who live in mansions mocking other people's mansions?
Wealthy insulated politicians who give little of their own money voluntarily to the needy deriding the motives and impugning the character of a wealthy insulated politician who gives millions away?
But watching the disparity between those two conventions should have revealed to even the most inartful observer that there's a problem with decrepit ideals and "champions" of those "ideals."
At last those inartful observers--the Democrats and the media but I repeat myself--have figured out that the Democrat Party---the Decrepit Party--has Hillary Clinton and the ever hopeful and perhaps vice presidential candidate Hispanic Julian Castro sitting on the sidelines waiting to enter the 2016 race.
Noah Rothman writes about the Democrat party's prospects:
In two consecutive midterms, Republicans have decimated the Democratic Party’s bench of talent, not just on the federal or statewide level but farther down the ballot as well. The GOP now controls 69 of the nation’s 99 legislative chambers, a dramatic reversal, according to Washington Examiner columnist David Freddoso, from 2008 when Barack Obama’s party controlled 62 legislative chambers. The GOP now has the total command of state government – both chambers of the legislature and the governor’s mansions – in 23 states, while Democrats command the levers of government in just seven states. In addition to the Republican Party’s 31 governorships, the GOP enjoys the allegiance of 32 lieutenant governors offices and 29 crucial secretaries of state.We hear this after every election: the weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth, the copious lachrymose articles about how this or that wing of politics will never ever EVER govern again and are they dead forever. ....
The Democratic Party’s farm team outside of the coasts and some enclaves in the Deep South and the Upper Midwest has been all but wiped out. The party, as The Washington Post’s Dan Balz observed in a must-read column, is at risk of being seen as a rapidly aging one.
Don't fall for it.
Leftists never ever EVER go away. They've creeped the universities, the entertainment industry, the media complex and they're always hungry for more.
But it is true that their party--the Decrepit Party--has an aging, Botoxed face.
The energy is on the Right these days, as more minorities begin to see what Leftists have done to them, culturally, economically and spiritually.
We need to keep the pressure on the Republican Party....not just to win, but to preserve independence and freedom.
If memory serves me correctly the speakers at the Democratic convention were on average 28 years older than their Republican counterparts. The Democrats are reaping the fruits of safe incumbency. It is not the party of merit. It is the party of nepotism closed to most everyone except family. Look at the names from the recent election. Brown, Cuomo, Mark Udall, Tom Udall, Nunn, Grimes, Pryor and Landrieu. The party is not just old, it's inbred.
