Whatever You Do, Don’t Link This Video Of Illegal Alien Benita Veliz At The DNC

by Smitty Sorry, Benita. My wife is a legal immigrant. We paid in the thousands of dollars in fees, and spent a few years dealing with USCIS. I realize that being a Democrat means substituting emotional plays for the rule of law: However, I’m just not terribly sympathetic. Your non-grasp of following directions, Benita, along […]

So What If Obama Doesn’t Understand The Economy: He Understands Power

by Smitty Via Instapundit, the mighty Klavan:This is a funny video, in particular the way the video editing underscores the government/business tax tautology.

Democrat Transition Into Communist Party Continues Apace

by Smitty Let me caveat this video by saying, as when Jay Leno does “Jay Walking”, you aren’t sure how representative this sample is. That is, if you go shoot an hour of video, you’re going to take the most out-to-lunch two minutes for your YouTube summary. Let us not be too quick to generalize […]

CHARLOTTE, North Carolina While I was waiting to pick up my media credentials this morning, the official word came that Thursday’s final night of the convention will be moved indoor due to a severe weather forecast. CNN reports: After days of bad weather, President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign and Democratic National Convention organizers have decided to […]

Conservative Ad Claims #OccupyResoluteDesk Lacks Values

by Smitty The Campaign for American Values is way off here: Obama totally values the votes of the alternative lifestyles crowd. Too bad those lifestyles don’t tend to beget more voters. But if the North American Man/Unicorn Love Association had some votes, then we can be sure Obama would get behind their efforts, which is […]

@KatiePavlich Appreciation Post

by Smitty There aren’t many more powerful examples of how jacked up the Democrat party is than Ted Kennedy. Fact: Ted Kennedy left a woman to die in his car. #waronwomen #caring #fact — Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) September 5, 2012 My one very close Democrat friend said of Ted: “He spoke after me once at […]

DNC Platform Lets Hamas Off the Hook

Jeff Dunetz reports: Comparing the language of the 2008 Democratic Party Platform and the 2012 Democratic Party Platform a key section was removed. That section called for isolating Hamas “until it renounces terrorism,” so now, evidently, Democrats are OK with Hamas terrorism. Press statement from Matt Brooks, executive director of the Republican Jewish Coalition: “This […]
