Under the Big Circus Tent: The Democratic National Convention Kicks Off/DNC Convention Day 1

When I first received word of the Day One lineup at the Democratic National Convention at the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado, I smiled. I suppose it seemed fitting. What was planned was not nearly as circus-like as what really happened, however.

I reviewed the list of speakers before the convention began, and found it to be consistent with Democrat leanings.

Teddy Kennedy, who would be considered inspirational because of his medical condition, is a longtime far left liberal with a poisonous message of increase government control over the people.

Michelle Obama would be the first potential first lady to headline a convention. What a way to kick it off. Like her fellow Democrats, she has never been proud of her country - or at least not until her husband got a political promotion.

Nancy Pelosi, the queen herself, with her Congress's blistering 9% approval rating, would surely echo Kennedy's cry for more governmental control and restrictions over your life, while recommending the government take more money away from you with increased taxation to pay for their bigger government.

And Jimmy Carter, America's worse president ever, and Islamic Radical hand-holder and grave visitor.

What a line-up!

Michelle Obama and Teddy Kennedy were the bookends of the evening.

Obama's wife said it was time to "stop doubting and start dreaming." She discussed family, growing up, meeting Obama for the first time when they began dating. The hope was that Obama's wife would begin the work of casting Barack Obama as a leader with classic American values, something he has been lacking when people notice his views on traditional marriage and the abortion of millions of unborn children.

Nancy Pelosi called the 2008 Election a historic race, one presenting a choice of two separate paths for America. She said, "One is a path of renewing opportunity and promoting innovation here at home and of greater security and respect throughout the world. It is that path that renews our democracy by bringing us together as one nation under God." It fascinates me how the Democrats hammer Republicans for any mention of God, yet they throw the name of the Creator around with reckless abandon. As for her "greater security" comment, I wonder how the Democrats plan to achieve such while handcuffing and disarming our nation's military.

Pelosi said the Democrats plan to put America on the path of the founders. She fails to realize the founding fathers created this nation with the express intent of limiting the power of the federal government over the people, a belief that is in complete opposition to the intention of the Democratic Party.

Jimmy Carter's presidency was a failure. He has again and again committed treasonous activity overseas, rallying “supine” Europeans to undermine US policy in the Middle East, and complaining about Israel’s nuclear arsenal and their battle to protect their right to exist. Of course he is a speaker at the convention. His is the same as the Marxist liberalism at the party’s ideological core.

But the shock of the night for me was when the leader of a Muslim Brotherhood-linked organization spoke, and received a standing ovation. She was there as a part of their "inter-faith" gathering. Many groups, like the Americans Against Hate, asked the DNC to disinvite Ingrid Mattson, the National President of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), from speaking at its Denver convention.

Mattson, who has a history of highly questionable remarks, spoke on the 24th before the interfaith gathering and immediately declared the Democrats to be the party of faith. She received, by the time she was finished numerous standing ovations, and feels that Muslims in the U.S. need to be protected under a victim status and by "hate crimes" legislation. This coming from the same woman who has called for the murder of all Jews and Christians.

Hillary Clinton takes the stage on Day 2. This may be interesting.

Democrats claim that the polls represent the will of the people!

Okay, I'll bite. If that's the case, then why is Congress' approval rating at 29% on the Gallup Poll (lower than Bush's!)?

Does that mean the will of the people is to get rid of the idiots in control of Congress?

By the way, Senate Democrats Failed to Cut Off War Funds.

And why is it that rape is totally acceptable in Islam?

And as a final note, Gary W. Moore (author of Playing With The Enemy) has been confirmed as a guest on Political Pistachio Radio on June 16, 2007 - along with a giveaway to two of my listeners of autographed copies of his book - and he will be accompanied on the show by his publisher who is of the same political stripe as Political Pistachio. Should prove to be a fun show.

Oh, and don't forget, this Saturday's guest is an Operation Iraqi Freedom Veteran, Paul Couturier. Tune in live at 4pm Pacific/7pm Eastern to Blog Talk Radio for the show.

As the New Democrat-Led 110th Congress Marches In

Power. The Democrats have it, and promise to wield it, sure to raise the minimum wage within the first 100 hours, and pledging to be as big a thorn in Bush's side as possible, one wonders how effective the village idiots will truly be.

Bush knows government will be divided for his final two years. Political opposition promises to be fierce. Pelosi's determined to push bills that are nothing more than political statements against Bush's Administration, and against the Republican Party.

And after promising to cut and run, and then toying with the idea of reinstating the draft in a true flip-flop, under the pressure of war protesters, the Democrats will surely return to their cut-and-run position. In fact, Cindy Sheehan and her war-protesting disciples made an appearance already, chanting for the troops to be brought home now.

Democrats cower before screaming flag-burning radical groups, thinking that the most vile protesters represent mainstream America. Believe me, they will be doing whatever it takes to flee from Iraq just so they can put a smile on the faces of Sheehan and her cronies.

Nancy Pelosi, our nation's first female House speaker, is not interested in doing what is best for this country. Her agenda is simply to set up the 2008 election. For the Democrats governing is not about what's best for the USA. It is all about what is best for the Democratic Party. However, with a bunch of freshmen Dems in office that actually carry some conservative viewpoints, I don't think that the liberal's biggest challenge will be the Republican Party. The greatest obstacle for the liberals will be controlling the less-than-liberal young Democrats that are now in office.

However, Republicans shouldn't do nothing, letting Dems sink their listing ship as we all expect them to do. There are too many leftist nutcakes out there capable of swaying the mindless folks out there that don't understand politics to the fullest. The Republicans must return to the conservative platform solidified by Reagan, and fight the liberals to the end. Passivity is not how you win a Chess game. The Right must go on the offensive and slap the Democrats around like LSU did to Notre Dame. (Sorry, just had to say it. Being a Razorbacks fan, I'm rooting for the SEC teams - Congrats LSU! Go Florida!)

I believe the two main battles on the political front will be the troops in Iraq, and taxes.

But really, if we let them do what they want, America will have to endure a ridiculous raise to the minimum wage, higher taxes, legal status and voting rights for all illegals, lower moralities (abortion, gay rights, censorship-or the lack thereof), a tail between the legs retreat in the war on terror, civil rights for members of terrorist groups, and a plethora of liberal government handouts.

God help us.
