Thoughts On The First Night Of The Convention

Thoughts On The First Night Of The Convention

I thought Anne Romney was wonderful considering she is not a public speaker. Did her and her man and her country well.

Chris Christie killed it. Don’t worry about him not blathering about Mitt, listen to the big picture, see the big picture, realise that there is a big picture!

The Ultimate Conflict Of Interest

The Ultimate Conflict Of Interest

The main players in the majority of information given via television, radio, and print media back Obama 10 to 1 in campaign contributions. So when does it become a conflict of American interest that the media gets to determine public opinion based on personal beliefs of their respective owner or CEO?  How do you stop an information source that bleeds blue? How can you stop the liberal views of people who have been inundated with socialist ideology from their earliest school memories through college? And these same people are hired by like-minded individuals to spread the bullshit on the airwaves and high-speed cable lines throughout the country.

It may be time that any company considered a MAJOR news source like say NBC/ABC/CBS/Fox can’t donate to political campaigns. If the owner/CEO decides they want to donate some of his or her own money…..knock yourselves out.

I think I would like a law that eliminates media companies from contributing to various campaigns. Even as jaded as I am about any new laws passed just for the sake of passing new legislation to justify their vaunted position, like politicians do, eliminating the media from the process would do us some good.

If you have a car give away or a radio contest for whatthefuckever, you are not eligible as an employee of said company. Do the same with the media. You can’t play. Seems like a legit resolution to me.

All the major media companies, driven largely by their Hollywood film and television businesses, have made larger contributions to President Obama than to his rival, former Gov. Mitt Romney, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonprofit, nonpartisan Washington-based research group that publishes the Open Secrets Web site. The center’s numbers represent donations by a company’s PAC and any employees who listed that company as their employer.

Even companies whose news outlets are often perceived as having a conservative bias have given significantly more money to Mr. Obama. Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation, for example, has contributed $58,825 to Mr. Obama’s campaign, compared with $2,750 to Mr. Romney. The conglomerate, which owns Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Post and the 20th Century Fox studios, gave roughly the same amount to Mr. Romney’s Republican primary competitors Rick Perry and Ron Paul as it did to Mr. Romney.

Other media companies have contributed more significantly to Mr. Obama, including Time Warner, owner of CNN and the magazine publishing house Time Inc. The company, which is based in New York and also owns Warner Brothers and HBO, has contributed $191,834 to Mr. Obama in the 2012 election cycle, compared with $10,750 to Mr. Romney. The Walt Disney Company, owner of ABC and ESPN, donated $125,856 to Mr. Obama and $9,950 to Mr. Romney.

Fishing In Alaska

Fishing In Alaska

Got this in am email today….don’t know how old or how true. But a nice story if true.
 
Some fishing stories are a little hard to believe, but this guy has pictures to prove his story…
 
 
I’ve heard of salmon jumping into boats, but never anything quite like this…
 
Tom Satre told the Sitka Gazette that he was out with a charter group on his 62-foot fishing vessel when four juvenile black-tailed deer swam directly toward his boat.


 
“Once the deer reached the boat, the four began to circle the boat, looking directly at us.  We could tell right away that the young bucks were distressed.
 
I opened up my back gate and we helped the typically skittish and absolutely wild animals onto the boat.  In all my years fishing, I’ve never seen anything quite like it!
 
Once onboard, they collapsed with exhaustion, shivering.”

 
“This is a picture I took of the rescued bucks on the back of my boat, the Alaska Quest.  

We headed for Taku Harbour . Once we reached the dock, the first buck that we had been pulled from the water hopped onto the dock, looked back as if to say ‘thank you’ and disappeared into the forest.
 
After a bit of prodding and assistance, two more followed, but the smallest deer needed a little more help.


 
This is me carrying the little guy. 

  My daughter, Anna, and son, Tim, helped the last buck to its feet.  We didn’t know how long they had been in the icy waters or if there had been others who did not survive. My daughter later told me

 

that the experience was something that she would never forget, and I suspect the deer felt the same way as well!”
 
 
I told you!  Awesome… huh?
 
Our Lord works in mysterious way..

 and the deaf can hear.” – Mark Twain

Romney Once Again Shows Superior Decision Making

Romney Once Again Shows Superior Decision Making

I jumped online this morning to rumblings of a Paul Ryan VP pick. The rumors were turned into full-blown breaking news before it was made official and I could not help but think this is too good to be true. I had a bad feeling Romney would pander to the latin, women, or even evangelical voters to help his campaign. He did not.

He picked a man who is an expert in his field, (who happens to be from a swing state), and has the respect of many on the other side of the isle. He also picked a bulldog. Romney can’t go off on every attack that comes his way, and surrogates are great, but sometimes make blunders that hurt the campaign. Enter Ryan who I have seen in a bunch of interviews to be tough, articulate, and very quick on his feet when dealing with an attack in a face to face interview with a hostile “cough, cough” journalist.

Romney gets my highest stamp of approval for the pick!
By the way, I apologize for the unscheduled break in my posts. Something came up that demanded my attention and I had to take a hiatus from blogging for a bit. But I’m back now and ready to go. I will be posting some visual treats for you later to make up for the break. Romney/Ryan 2012…..I love it!

UPDATE:Chic-Fil-A Douchebag Hater Dresses Down Drive Thru Employee…And Is Promptly Fired

Apparently this guy stepped on the wrong toes. Common sense rules, congrats Vante for taking a stand.

Vante regrets the unfortunate events that transpired yesterday in Tucson between our former CFO/Treasurer Adam Smith and an employee at Chick-fil-A. Effective immediately, Mr. Smith is no longer an employee of our company.

The actions of Mr. Smith do not reflect our corporate values in any manner. Vante is an equal opportunity company with a diverse workforce, which holds diverse opinions. We respect the right of our employees and all Americans to hold and express their personal opinions, however, we also expect our company officers to behave in a manner commensurate with their position and in a respectful fashion that conveys these values of civility with others.

 

This guy is what the left looks like, thinks, and acts. From hoping for a “student sit in”  because “it just makes sense” to ripping an hourly employee who is probably happy just to have a job, this tool is the epitome of what progressives really are. You can’t reason with these people because they blindly jump on whatever movement the LSM dictates they follow. I am still amazed at the fist in the air head in the sand actions of these idiots. I feel sorry for the drive thru girl, she has to put on a smile and deal with this prick, even though you can tell she just want’s him outta there.

Watch the video far away from any liberals. You may have a sudden urge to slap the shit out of them.

Simple Minds…

Simple Minds…

…have simple ways.

He is posturing for another stimulus. The simplistic explanation to his peeps is mind boggling. I may go buy some pizza from Brenda so she can hire a new employee, because that is how we grow our economy, pizza from Brenda. 
If this jack wagon gets re-elected it will further my point that the decay of the American Way is upon us.
