Serbian diplomat, and friend of Christopher Stevens, says State Department knowingly sent gay ambassador to Libya.

Arab media says ambassador Stevens was gang raped and then his body was put on display.

Hillary Clinton has been spending US taxpayer dollars to fund homosexual pride events in foreign countries. Her actions have prompted backlashes against the US in Italy, Russia, Pakistan, and other nations.

Last year, Barack Obama made it official US policy to fund homosexual rights groups overseas with US tax-dollars.

In Pakistan, the staff of the US embassy in Islamabad was placed in serious danger after being ordered to host a homosexual pride event. Pakistanis rioted outside the embassy and burned American flags.
Friends of Christopher Stevens in Chicago say he was gay.

A member of the Serbian diplomatic team based in Chicago told HillBuzz.org that the State Department knowingly sent a gay man to be the ambassador of Libya. HillBuzz.org reports "in Chicago’s diplomatic circles at least there is no doubt that Chris Stevens was gay."

The question is, did Hillary Clinton know this? If so, she knowingly sent him into an environment where his presence would be considered a provocation. Hillary Clinton's track record in North Africa is absolutely dismal. The US State Department has successfully turned Libya and Egypt upside down and placed militant Islam in charge of those nations.

Clinton claimed that Libya and Egypt would become western style democracies. She even made the comical assertion that the Muslim Brotherhood was "committed to democracy." Now Clinton's "democracy activists" are murdering Christians in the streets of Egypt, burning American flags, and calling for holy war against Israel. Clinton seems hellbent on bringing the same chaos to Syria as well.

Clinton stated that Stevens killers were well armed and probably connected to Al-Qaeda. She neglects to mention that the Obama administration armed and supported hard-core Jihadists in Libya. Some of whom openly bragged about ties to Al-Qaeda. Hillary Clinton acts like she is surprised that such a reckless policy has blown up in her face.

According to leading Arab media outlets, the murder of US Ambassador Christopher Stevens was even more horrible than what was reported in on the US media. The Arab media reports that Stevens was beaten, gang raped, killed, and then his body was publicly displayed in a manner similar to Gaddafi. A Libyan doctor who examined the body said Stevens had severe internal injuries and died of "severe asphyxia."

Christopher Stevens is the first US ambassador to be murder overseas since Adolph Dubs was killed in Afghanistan in 1976. Three other Americans were murdered, including former Navy Seal Glen Doherty.

Suggested by the author:

• Obama orders US State Department to Fund Homosexual Groups Overseas.
• Muslim Brotherhood wins big in Egyptian elections.
• Hillary Clinton's allies in Egypt call for violent Jihad

U.N. claims freedom of speech doesn't mean speaking freely about Islam.

Just as our elected officials create convenient areas of privilege which absolve them from obeying laws which are so enthusiastically applied to the rest of us, so Muslims are seeking to become a privileged class with the exclusive right to decide what offends their religious sensibilities and what level of punishment must be meted out for the particular affront.

Since 1999, the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) has demanded all nations adopt laws concerning “defamation of religion” which would subject offenders to appropriate criminal punishment for blasphemy worldwide. At the heart of this movement is the contention that “…the international community should ‘come out of hiding from behind the excuse of freedom of expression.’”

It seems all of this United States-inspired, freedom-motivated nonsense about protecting First Amendment rights gets in the way of what is really important, that being the ability of followers of Islam to impose Sharia restrictions on a foolishly audacious American people, all for their own good, of course.

As U.N. chief Ban Ki Moon explains, “some people use this freedom of expression to provoke or humiliate some others’ values and beliefs….”  And after all, “…while [freedom of expression] is a fundamental right and privilege, it should not be abused by such people, by such a disgraceful and shameful act.”

Of course the only really shameful act is that of Ban Ki Moon himself,  placing on perpetual display his willingness to side with the most corrupt and treacherous pretenders to pious reverence and devotion to God’s will in human history.

On Wednesday, the morally despicable Moon accused the maker of “Innocence of Muslims” of having “abused his right to freedom of expression by making the movie.”  “Freedom of expression should be and must be guaranteed and protected when they are used for common justice, common purpose…”
Moon continued.

Such statements reveal an arrogance and conceit matched only by that of the would-be Islamofascist dictators to whom Moon is so willing to sacrifice the rights of the earth’s non-Muslim population.

Funny how the most dependable abusers of human rights invariably seek assistance for their treacherous schemes from the most dependably liberal establishments. From the United Nations to the Obama Regime, neither group can provide assistance fast enough to concoct some form of ginned-up blasphemy into a punishable, global Islamic affront.

And it’s perhaps doubly strange that some of the best advice for countering this Muslim scourge should come from liberal atheist Sam Harris who writes, “…the only forces on earth that can recover [freedom] are strong, secular governments that will face down charges of blasphemy with scorn. No apologies necessary. Muslims must learn that if they make belligerent and fanatical claims upon the tolerance of free societies, they will meet the limits of that tolerance.”

Though an obvious slap against the bringing to bear of any sort of religious fervor against Islamic radicals, Harris is certainly making it clear that the world must stand against this scourge or eventually fall to it.

We know the establishment left will gladly betray the American people to the forces of Islam. If Republican Party leaders continue to reveal the same stripe, ours may very soon become a nation of militias once more.

Defying Obama, House passes bundle of bills to boost coal. Stoke it up!

 Verne Strickland Blogmaster / Sept. 21, 2012

The Washington Times

Friday, September 21, 2012

The House took a parting shot at what critics say are the Obama administration’s policies to discourage coal production Friday by passing a package of bills designed to rein in the Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to impose regulations on the struggling industry.

In its last vote of the session, the House voted 233-175 to approve a bundle of five bills, known as the “Stop the War on Coal Act of 2012,” that would block recent EPA efforts to regulate emissions, require the agency to consider the cost and economic impact of certain rules, and give states greater authority over pollution control.

“President Obama has spent his entire term waging a regulatory war of red tape and government mandates on coal miners, coal jobs and the millions of people who rely on low-cost coal-fired electricity,” said House Natural Resources Committee Chair Doc Hastings, Washington state Republican, after the vote.

The legislation is unlikely to reach the Senate this year, and even if it did, President Obama has indicated that he would veto it. But the House passage highlights the election-year tension between the Obama administration and the nation’s coal-mining states, several of which are also key battleground states.

Those include Colorado, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia, all of which are home to coal companies grappling with the EPA’s recent first-ever rule on mercury emissions and its proposed carbon-emissions standards for new coal-fueled plants.

The heightened regulatory climate, coupled with falling natural gas prices, prompted Alpha Natural Resources to announce this week that it would shutter eight coal plants and lay off 1,200 workers in Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia.

An industry analysis released Tuesday forecast the closure of 204 coal-based units in 25 states in the next three to five years, resulting in job losses and higher electricity prices.

“Without the passage of the Stop the War on Coal Act, those job losses and thousands of others will become reality for hardworking coal miners and their families across the country as a record number of coal plants will be forced to close over the coming years,” said Mr. Hastings.

Nineteen Democrats crossed the aisle to vote with Republicans in approving the legislation, while 13 Republicans voted against it. The Democrats voting in favor included Rep. Shelley Berkley, who’s locked in a tight contest for the open Nevada Senate seat, and Rep. Mark Critz of Pennsylvania, a vulnerable first-termer whose GOP opponent Keith Rothfus has made EPA regulations a centerpiece of his campaign.

 Rep. Ed Markey, Massachusetts Democrat, called the legislation a “polluterpalooza bill” that fails to “recognize the fundamental shift in the energy marketplace.”

“Republicans have been so busy manufacturing fake wars on coal and oil that they’ve missed the real American energy revolution in natural gas, wind, solar and other cleaner, cheaper forms of energy,” said Mr. Markey, the ranking Democrat on the House Natural Resources Committee.

The Sierra Club called the legislation “a set of reckless and radical bills that would endanger millions of Americans across the country.”

A poll conducted for the American Coalition for Clean Coal Energy and released Thursday showed 59 percent of those surveyed in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia support coal-based energy. The poll, which oversampled Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents, also found that most “agree that EPA is making decisions based on politics, not policy.”

ACCCE President and CEO Mike Duncan estimated that EPA regulations threaten 1.5 million coal and coal-related jobs nationwide.

“Today’s vote was an important signal to voters about which members of Congress are fighting to protect coal and the jobs it provides,” said Mr. Duncan. “It is disappointing that President Obama threatened to veto this critical legislation which would provide for more balanced regulations and ensure a future for coal.”

Gallup: 60% of Americans Don't Trust Mainstream Media!

Verne Strickland Blogmaster / September 21, 2012

FACE OF THE MEDIA: DO YOU TRUST ME?

Email Article

Print Article Send a Tip

by Mike Flynn 21 Sep 2012, 6:06 AM PDT 3

Gallup was out this morning with a new poll that contains a damning indictment of the mainstream media -- 60% of Americans, an all-time high, do not trust the mass media to accurately or fairly report the news. Mind you, that isn't 60% of Republicans or conservatives, but Americans of all political persuasions. 

From Gallup:

The record distrust in the media, based on a survey conducted Sept. 6-9, 2012, also means that negativity toward the media is at an all-time high for a presidential election year. This reflects the continuation of a pattern in which negativity increases every election year compared with the year prior. The current gap between negative and positive views -- 20 percentage points -- is by far the highest Gallup has recorded since it began regularly asking the question in the 1990s. Trust in the media was much higher, and more positive than negative, in the years prior to 2004 -- as high as 72% when Gallup asked this question three times in the 1970s.

Last year, Gallup found that almost half of Americans (47%) believed the mainstream media had a liberal bias. Unsurprisingly, Republicans are the most distrustful of the media. Only 26% felt they could trust the media to accurately report the news. This is actually similar to levels registered in 2008. The biggest shift is with Independents. Less than a third of Independents, 31%, felt they could trust the mass media. This represents a big drop from 2008.

As a result, only 39% of Americans say they very closely follow the mainstream media for news about national politics this election year. This, too, is a sharp drop from 2008.

The media has long had at least a slight liberal bias, but changes in technology and the market have pushed it much further left. In decades past, the media could act as a gatekeeper and decide what was and wasn't news. They could push coverage favorable to liberals, but few people realized they were doing this. They were able to give an unnoticed and subtle nudge to politics. 

They can't do that anymore. They may ignore the news that the events in Libya were a terrorist attack rather than a riot, for example, but the information will still get out. They may try to ignore the economic slowdown, but people still feel the results. The media can no longer control information.

As a result, rather than gatekeepers, they have become active participants in the political battles. Their liberal partisan bias is now obvious to everyone. 

The good news is that fewer people are paying attention.

Note: Gallup's question only focused on mass market mainstream media, i.e. newspapers, TV and radio. It did not survey internet news operations, where biases are often openly admitted. For example, everyone knows Politico and Huff Post are left-wing, while sites like this one and Daily Caller lean right. It would be interesting to compare trust levels between mainstream and on-line media

Gallup gives Romney great news: Race tied again as Obama's bounce fades.

Verne Strickland Blogmaster / September 21, 2012

















ANDREW MALCOLM / Investors Business Daily
September 19, 2012

Republican doom and gloom drumbeat was dramatically muted in the media this week.

A new Gallup Poll out this morning finds President Obama's convention bounce fading and the 2012 presidential race reverting to its previous tight margin. What a bummer for the preferred media narrative of recent days!

The poll, of 1,096 registered voters in 12 key swing states, finds Obama and Mitt Romney virtually tied at 48% for the Democrat and 46% for Romney with less than seven weeks to go.

Gallup's Daily Tracking of registered voters nationally finds the margin even closer with Obama at 47% and Romney at 46%.

The crucial swing states polled were: Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin. Obama handily won all 12 states over John McCain in 2008, but at this point this time the race is much closer.

Gallup found that 22% of those swing state voters said they were either undecided now or there's a slight chance they'll change their mind by Nov. 6. Ominously for Obama, more of that 22% susceptible to change currently support the incumbent.

Three-quarters of the swing state voters said the recent party conventions had not affected their choice.
And another three-quarters asserted the upcoming three presidential debates in October will have little influence on their vote.

Again ominously for Obama, the debates look to loom as more important for him than for Romney, the reverse of the usual incumbent-challenger template.

More of those who say the debates could influence their choice currently favor Obama (54%) than favor Romney (40%), meaning the Democrat has more to lose from a poor performance.

Sen. John Kerry is helping Obama. You may remember the wealthy Massachusetts windsurfer as the Democrat who won the 2004 election before he lost it, as Ohio slipped inevitably away. Kerry is playing the Romney role in debate prep, meaning a poor Obama showing is more likely. Although the salute will be sharp.

Obama Administration slips Taliban lawyer into top spot at Justice Department

                                  

          OBAMA APPOINTEE TONY WEST

Verne Strickland Blogmaster / September 20, 2012

From Al Qaeda 7 to DOJ 3
American Taliban lawyer appointed to third-highest Justice Department position

BY: Adam Kredo

A lawyer who came to prominence for his full-throated defense of a subsequently convicted terrorist was quietly promoted to the No. 3 slot at the Department of Justice last month, a post that puts him in charge of the administration’s policy regarding Guantanamo Bay detainees.

The move has raised red flags on Capitol Hill and elsewhere among national security stalwarts who argue that the promotion could imperil the country’s longstanding war on terrorism.

The Obama administration appointee at the center of the debate is Tony West, a longtime Justice Department lawyer who received national attention for his aggressive defense of John Walker Lindh, the so-called American Taliban who is currently serving 20-years in prison for colluding with al Qaeda in Afghanistan and taking up arms against U.S. troops.

  Give this Affirmative Action Pres 4 more years and the "Blind Shiek" will not only be out of prison, he'll be the NEw Secretary of State. Americans should be very afraid of this OBOZO character, the Chicago Political Thug from the corrupt Chicago Political Machine. (as he said, we have to destroy our enemies (people who don't believe what he believes) and help our friends (people who want a nanny state similar to the USSR and China) although the chinese business's probably have more freedom right now then American business do.

  I think we'd be surprised to learn of the true background of all the people he has appointed.  Scary to think what he'd do to the Supreme Court given the opportunity to appoint 2 new justices..  Goodbye constitution.  Goodbye America as we know it.  Said he'd transform us, well he's doing a darn good job right now.  Must stop him before he completes the job and there's no turning back.   We cannot let that happen to us, our children our grandchildren.    It will be a country no more.

Premature Babies Aren't People -- The Obama Record

Verne Strickland Blogmaster / September 19, 2012 

 

 By: Human Events

8/7/2008 03:42 AM

Barack Obama worked to allow a gruesome practice, in which babies born alive after attempted abortions are left to die without medical care, to continue in Illinois.   

National Review journalist David Freddoso’s new book, The Case Against Barack Obama, exposes the lengths to which Barack Obama went to protect this ghastly procedure.

Because of a loophole, doctors in Illinois had no legal obligation to treat these babies.

Under the law, they were non-persons.  Illinois legislators tried to close this loophole with a bill mandating that babies born alive during an abortion would have to be treated just like every other baby born prematurely.  The same laws and the same rules of medical ethics would apply to these born, living babies as to any other born, living human being.

On the federal level a similar bill passed 98-0 garnering a yea vote from pro-abortion stalwart Barbara Boxer.  But back in Illinois, Barack Obama had problems with this type of legislation.

Born Alive Infants Protection Act

He spoke on the floor of the Illinois Senate in opposition to the Born Alive Infants Protection Act – in fact, he was the only senator to do so.  The following year he spoke against the born alive bill again.

As a rabid proponent of legalized abortion, Obama voted against the bill or worked for its defeat on three separate occasions.

From The Case Against Barack Obama:

The tiny newborn baby made very little noise as he struggled to breathe. He could not cry—he lacked the strength. He had been born four months premature.  “At that age,” says nurse Jill Stanek, “their lungs haven’t matured.” 

Stanek is the nurse who found herself cradling this tiny human being in her hands for all of his forty-five-minute lifetime. He was close to ten inches long. He weighed perhaps half a pound. It’s just a guess, no one had weighed or measured him at birth. 

No happy family had been there to welcome him into the world. No one was trying to save his life now, to put him into an incubator, to give him oxygen or nourishment. He had just been left to die.

Chris Matthews threatens talk radio -- "Gonna pay" if any anti-Obama violence

Verne Strickland Blogmaster / September 19, 2012

 TOUGH-TALKING LIBERAL CABLE BULLY MAY FEEL PROTECTED BY OBAMA ADMINISTRATION. HOW CAN THIS ONE BLOW-HARD PUNISH TALK RADIO?

 

inSh

September 23, 2009 By Breaking News 

Chris Matthews, on Tuesday“Hardball,” ominously warned that the “activists on the radio,” are “gonna pay,” if “we have violence in this country against our president of any form,” for having “encouraged the craziness.” Matthews made that charge in a segment, with NBC News’ Chuck Todd and the Politico, that began by the MSNBC host wondering if the GOP was “jumping the shark,” with “these crazy town meetings,” and declared “the clown show is over.”

Matthews continues to disparage town hall protests

 The following exchange was aired on the September 22 edition of “Hardball”:

CHRIS MATTHEWS: Let me ask you about the Republicans. I noticed a little pullback on the, have they failed, are they feeling they’re jumping the shark, to use a television term, with these crazy town meetings? 

Have they felt, I saw the Eric Cantor meeting in Virginia the other day, he’s a smart guy. He wants to be president or whatever, some day. He’s smart enough to know, is he – I’m asking – that it’s time to cool it? That this crazy anti-government talk isn’t improving any body’s life. The clown show is over. 

It’s better now to look like you’re at least hopeful of getting a better health care plan for the country, even if you vote against it. Is that the Republican assessment right now? Based upon our polling?

   It amazes me how Mr. Matthews, a reasonably intelligent man can ignore the many accumulated reasons for the town & teabaggers meetings. The past 6 months of Obama policies that have placed our country in unprecedented debt; have not improved our economy; unemployment higher than ever; 8400 earmarks (paybacks) for a bizarre stimulus; obvious financial catering to unions (more payback); Cap & Trade, Death Tax,..even Coca Cola. all NEW taxes; no COL increase for Soc. Sec. this year; Govt takeover of Auto. mfgs. (another precedent); an 1100 page Healthcare bill unread by Obama & many of his proponents; the obvious repetitive lies by the White House (47 mill. uninsured; reduction or no increase in present Govt. costs; keep same Dr.; no change to you ….OBVIOUS LIES). Then we have the assortment of Czars, past communists, left radicals, tax cheats,
   the Chicago fiasco with Obama's chief of staff in the middle. Current ACORN expose..OBAMAs past and only employer! The on going simple birth certificate request…"just show the original document"!
   Additionally, our President and his "apologetic" foreign policy speeches and the recent missle defense change, exposing our NATO allies to an increasing Russian threat. No one had to prompt these meetings! If the news media, and all the networks would have performed their duties accurately,
   the townhall and teabaggers would have been much larger! This would include Mr. Matthews!

NOW WE KNOW BHO IS A SOCIALIST!

The Huffington Post  |  By Harry Bradford Posted: 09/18/2012 5:27 pm Updated: 09/18/2012 5:30 pm

It turns out Mitt Romney isn’t the only presidential candidate to have a video leak this week.

Fresh on the heels of Romney’s leaked campaign fundraising video, in which the Republican candidate calls 47 percent of Americans "dependent on government" since they don’t pay federal income taxes, a recording from a purported 1998 Loyola University appearance by President Barack Obama has been posted to YouTube.

The sentiments revealed in the more than decade-old Obama video, however, are far different those Romney expressed at a Florida fundraiser this May. Referring to efforts to restore the efficacy of government, then-Illinois state Sen. Obama said:

“The trick is figuring out how do we structure government systems that pool resources and hence facilitate some [wealth] redistribution -- because I actually believe in redistribution, at least at a certain level to make sure that everybody’s got a shot.”

A request for comment to confirm the authenticity of the leaked Loyola video was not immediately returned by the Obama campaign.

During his 2008 presidential campaign, some 10 years later, it seemed Obama's stance on redistribution had changed little. He garnered Republican criticism when he told an Ohio campaign audience, “When you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”
 
Obama now may be more wary of such language. Earlier this year when the president pushed for the Buffett Rule, a plan that would have raised taxes on the wealthy, he maintained such a tax increase was not designed to redistribute wealth but to spur investment in the U.S. economy.

I thought what Romney said was wonderful. I wish he'd put it into a commercial. He should make it a part of his stump speech. For too long we have shrunk from saying the Emperor has no clothes. A naked Barack Obama is what we need to see. Romney speaks the truth, and the truth will set him free from this dirty little "secret". Out with it. Thanks for your courage Governor!

LEAVE THE WELFARE PROFESSIONALS BEHIND. THEY'RE A LOST CAUSE. OBAMA HAS BOUGHT THEM. WIN THE UNDECIDED VOTE. THAT'S OUR LAST BEST HOPE FOR VICTORY!

COSTA MESA, Calif. -- Republican Mitt Romney says a video clip in which he said that nearly half of Americans think they are "victims" was "not elegantly stated." But he says President Barack Obama's approach is "attractive to people who are not paying taxes."

Romney spoke to reporters Monday evening in a hastily called news conference after the emergence of a video in which the GOP presidential nominee told donors that almost half of American voters "believe that they are victims."

The Republican nominee did not disavow the comments but said they were made during a question-and-answer session. He said it was indicative of his campaign's effort to "focus on the people in the middle."

The website of the magazine Mother Jones posted a video of Romney's comments from a private fundraiser.

There are a few things you should know about Congresswoman Ellmers.  Prior to being elected to Congress, she worked as a nurse and served as the clinical director of the Trinity Wound Care Center in Dunn.  Additionally, her husband is a physician.  

Based in no small part on her background and insight as a healthcare professional, Renee decided to run for Congress after the passage of ObamaCare.  From her campaign website:  "In 2009 she and her husband attended a Town Hall meeting to hear Congressman Bob Etheridge speak on behalf of President Obama’s health care plan. Later, as a volunteer, she became an outspoken critic of government-run health care and decided to run for Congress in 2010."

I hope to see you today!

Sincerely,

Frank Williams
Candidate for Brunswick County Commissioner

Robeson Republicans need more room -- and more respect!

Verne Strickland Blogmaster / September 16, 2012

 By Dr. Phillip Stephens
 

We’ve all heard it. Robeson Republicans met in a phone booth. But times change.

According to a Jan. 23, 1956, The Robesonian article, six local Republicans attended a fundraiser in Winston-Salem for President Eisenhower. They were referred to as the “Phone Booth Boys.” The reason was simple.

Local Republicans sought a meeting place at the county courthouse about 60 years ago. As a joke, the county manager, W.D. Reynolds, offered them the phone booth, which in his opinion would hold the expected turnout. The joke stuck.


Today things are different for clear reasons. Republicans have been playing to full houses lately supported by conservative Democrats.

Gubernatorial candidate Pat McCrory recently visited Lumberton for a fundraiser. The local money raised and crowds addressed by Republicans like McCrory have been unprecedented in recent years.

Robeson led the state in approving Amendment One with 86 percent of the vote. That percentage is not obtained in Robeson without a lot of Democratic support. And it’s a Republican issue because the Democratic Party supports same-sex marriage so strongly it was added this year by unanimous vote to the party platform.

And if more evidence is needed, look no further than the public backlash against discretionary fund spending. The only commissioners voting to immediately cut the fund and return the remainder to the general budget are Republican David Edge and a Democratic commissioner in a tight race with a Republican.

Finally, Republicans are impacting management philosophy beyond the concept of a phone booth.
It has been said there would have been no Reagan without Carter. Well, in that context change has certainly come to Robeson just as Obama promised. Sunday voting is simply an acknowledgement of this turning tide. Maybe even a last-ditch effort. It also is a risky proposition.

Church congregations across the county were the reason that Robeson led the state in protecting marriage. Not Republicans. Not Democrats.

So although the Democratic Party values issues contrary to these congregations, such as abortion and same-sex marriage, Sunday is the day they chose to remind folks to vote Democrat.

Maybe it’s a brilliant idea, like buying a high-priced kitchen gadget, which requires a live presentation to justify the hard sale. It works.

Either way, conservatives will use the Sunday voting issue to further illustrate the growing contrast between conservative congregations and the Democratic Party. How different is the Democratic Party today?
Well, the DNC platform committee recently removed the word “God” in the context of “God-given potential” from the party platform.

It passed a floor vote. Some recognized that God probably didn’t need to be removed. But it would require a two-thirds majority vote to reverse the decision. The vote to reverse the decision was far short of two-thirds but the chair passed it anyway. So although “God” was restored to the Democratic platform, it was restored amid boos from delegates. This isn’t our father’s Democratic Party anymore.

But social issues and platforms will not decide the election. The economy will. And honestly, Republicans would be better off to not concentrate so much on the social issues. To be fair, if you’re going to be the party of less intrusive government then why intrude in private lives?

So while Democrats try to paint Republicans as religious zealots and bigots — which is odd if you understand the history of both parties but that’s another story — Democrats are quietly moving away from their traditional roots. Clearly, local Democrats have started supporting Republicans who represent the traditional values Democrats once championed.

Georgia Democratic Sen. Zell Miller said it best. He never left the Democratic Party. The party left him.

Things always seem to change slowly in Robeson, so maybe that’s the point. Robeson Democrats are the same great folks they’ve always been and it’s not local Democrats who are changing. They aren’t leaving the party. Slowly, their party is leaving them as well.

As a result, Republicans have outgrown the phone booth.

Verne Strickland interviews Andy Yates on Romney/Obama, McCrory/Dalton, radical Muslim turmoil in Middle East

 By Verne Strickland  September 16, 2011  

We bring in one of our all-time favorite conservative political pundits – Andy Yates of Huntersville NC – for an exclusive USA DOT COM interview.

ANDY YATES:

A new Rasmussen Poll shows Romney in front 51-45 in NC. This is a very strong sign. Only 50% go to the polls, and less than are 3% undecided, so NC broke for the Romney side. This indicates that Demo convention in Charlotte had little effect on what happens in NC. You can come here and have your big party but actually get hurt in NC. The Democrats wanted to show how liberal they are in NC,  but that doesn’t play well here. This actually is a plus for conservatives here because it’s a good side-by-side comparison of the two parties. Also it brings out into the open what the feelings of the voters are on a local level, compared to what the national Democrat Party stands for.

 This isn’t the Democrat Party of Sam Ervin, it’s the Democrat Party of the extreme liberal Far Left and I don’t think anything could highlight that more to North Carolinians than holding their convention in our State where they try to take God out of the platform and then rejected three times to put God back in, and the chair finally ruled that it passed, and I think it shows how out of touch the national Democrat Party is with North Carolina values. I think that’s going to hurt them dearly. 

What about the riveting and treacherous events roiling the Middle East?

Obama seems totally out of touch with the traumatic happenings in the Arab World. What’s your take on how this will affect him? It is sad and shocking how unprepared and weak our president is in light of this current crisis. He looks like an  eighth Algebra I student having to take a college Calculus course. HE doesn’t seem to have a clue what’s going on and acts like he’s frozen in place. It goes back to Jimmy Carter in the 70s – it’s not just the economy now, it’s foreign policy. 

Jimmy Carter actually collected Obama recently on Obama’s traditional role with Egypt. Obama doesn’t even seem at the Carter level on foreign policy, which is very scary. What’s going on over there is very scary, and that’s made worse by our having a weak president who seems inept and bumbling. It shows that the 4-year Barack Obama apology tour has had little effect on the positives of the Middle East. 

Finally, Andy, give us your take on the McCrory/Dalton race for Governor.

I don’t want people to quit working, because anything can happen at this point in the election campaigns, but in my opinion you could stick a fork in Walter Dalton and take him out of the oven – he’s done. McCrory has just out-classed him, out-campaigned him, out-worked him, Barring something totally unforeseen, I don’t see any chance at this point for a Walton Dalton victory. We’re about seven weeks to go before the election and with a 24-hour news cycle that’s a lot longer than it used to be. 

Pat McCrory has done an excellent job of putting out a positive message about his vision for what he wants to do in North Carolina. He’s showing people his record of leadership as Mayor of Charlotte, whereas all Walter Dalton can give you is a rehash of the failed policies of Beverly Perdue. Dalton has no new original ideas, and is not impressing anyone.

We are seeing what people in the Charlotte area have known for a long time – Pat McCrory is a true leader who will get things done, he’s a visionary, and I think too that all Walter Dalton could be is a second term for Beverly Perdue, and there are very few people in North Carolina who would want  that. 

 QUESTION TO PONDER:

COULD OBAMA BE LETTING THE ARAB CRISIS GO OFF THE RAILS TO ABSORB THE HEADLINES AND DIVERT ATTENTION FROM THE JOBS AND ECONOMIC FAILURES OF HIS ADMINISTRATION?
