Georgia & the Convention
Posted August 12th, 2008 by zachary.smith
Just a few days ago Russia invaded our ally and sovereign nation of Georgia. How quickly we forget, as I find it interesting that we are shocked that Russia’s Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, or really ‘Dictator in Chief’ is behaving like the former soviet KGB agent he is. In what is a clearly a neo-soviet move, Russia is attempting to rebuild its empire, literally. Georgia is a pro western democracy and a good friend to the United States, and even a possible future member of NATO (something I hope we now fast track). I don’t think anyone can miss the message Mr. Putin is trying to send us. Those of you who are students of history may find the parallels to Germany circa 1938 so similar it almost defies belief, as the Russians are literally using the same exact strategy. Putin is taking the Hitler play book and following to the letter, and make no mistake Georgia is only the first. If we don’t stand against Russia now and remind them they lost the Cold War (World War 3 really), and that we will not tolerate our allies and peace loving democracies being conquered, it will be our freedom that will be threatened next. We must act now and not appease Russia the same way Germany was, otherwise we will find ourselves in the midst of a new vastly more serious Cold War, and one in which we’ll be starting off from a position of weakness.
‘W’ And Other Liberal Fiction
Posted August 5th, 2008 by zachary.smith
Oliver Stone has recently given man birth to 'W,' a film that will no doubt rival such blockers as; Redacted, Lions for Lambs, and Stop Loss, etc, etc. Ah yes, wonderful anti-American films that inspire citizens to do their patriotic duty, which is to let the film die the horrible painful death it deserves. PTL. Just when one starts to get a little too pessimistic about where America is heading we are given a ray of hope, or in this case a series of straight to DVD classics. Okay, just straight to DVD bombs that won’t even sell on the five dollar rack at Wal-Mart. God bless America and our free enterprise system. In a clear rejection of such liberal America hating films the American public has declared, loudly, or in this case with their wallets just how they really feel. It is good, and the truly great thing is there are plenty of examples of how people are reacting to the opposite. Look at the latest Batman movie, Dark Knight with its blatant conservative political undertones is well on its way to being one of the highest grossing films of all time. The message is clear, people aren’t buying the liberal Hollywood agenda but they are buying movies where terrorists get what’s coming to them. Hmmm.
RNC Launches New Radio Ad In Paris, USA: “Obama Chooses Washington Over Our Military”
Posted July 24th, 2008 by alexander.willette
WASHINGTON – The Republican National Committee (RNC) today announced a new radio ad buy for “Obama Chooses Washington Over Our Military.” As Barack Obama travels to Paris, France, the radio ad will remind voters in Paris, MO; Paris, MI; and Paris, ME, that Obama’s politically expedient record has consistently put politics before the needs of our military.

Title: “Obama Chooses Washington Over Our Military” :60 Radio Advertisement
There are few votes as important as funding our men and women in uniform.
But when our military needed necessary resources, Barack Obama failed to stand up.
Obama said that nobody wanted to play chicken with our troops on the ground.
But when it came time to act, he voted against critical resources: no to individual body armor, no to helicopters, no to ammunition, no to aircraft.
The bill Obama opposed even had funding for veterans’ medical facilities and rehabilitation programs.
And why did he say no?
Maine Senate: Tom Allen - a study in opportunism
Posted May 13th, 2008 by alexander.willette
Mark Ellis has a post up at drivel del marcos:
So far, Tom Allen’s strategy has been to ignore the fact that he has a primary challenger and he’s been pretending that his challenger – Tom LeDue – doesn’t actually exist. Recently Democrats have been waking up to the fact that they actually have a choice for their party’s nominee for U.S. Senate and many are giving LeDue a closer look.
That fact hasn’t been lost on Allen. So in order to align himself more with his party’s activists, Tom Allen finished licking his finger and sticking it in the wind. Yesterday, he walked away from his long-standing relationship with the Clintons and endorsed Barack Obama for president.
