Here's a relevant protest for this post, and far more fitting for the Pepsi Center than anything else from this week. I may have to go down and join these guys, I really do want it to come back.
Here's a video that everyone needs to see especially since the Obama campaign has been trying to pull the ad from TV stations. I really would rather attack his policies and voting record rather than his background, but it's important to know Obama is supported by people with these kinds of agendas. Hopefully, after seeing this video people will start looking at his policies and ideals a little bit more in depth instead of just wishing, and hoping, and thinking and dreaming and changing. If you know the song then you know that really doesn't make anything happen.
So I guess I'm going to dedicate this week to political blogging, especially since my friends decided to leave me here with all the crazies and go to Lake Powell for the week and so I have a lot of time on my hands. (Darn job that keeps me from being able to take an entire week off). Anyway, as much as I have been dreading this week for the past few months I have discovered that it is an incredibly important week (and next week too) because you will find out exactly what the candidates believe and who they are.
I have been very involved for the past 2 1/2 years finding out what the issues are and how each position fits into my core beliefs. I really want to share the things I've discovered so it can help my friends make their own informed decisions. If you have other views that's fine, I just want to make sure both sides have been heard, and if you think there's a side I haven't heard yet that will help me be more informed in my decisions feel free to share it with me.
Ok I read in a few blogs that people were trying to levitate the Mint. I didn't realize they really tried to do it. I love the added soundtrack because it reminds me of GOB.
In case you're wondering where I'm finding these there have been 2 blogs that have good conservative coverage of the convention. One is Rocky Mountain Right and Michelle Malkin's blog. I'll try and add the interesting things I find to this blog.
Also the guy in the green shirt with the hat that starts the "raise the roof" chant, I'm pretty sure he's a conservative just making fun of these people. The end of the interview with the guy from my previous post mentioned being "punked" by guys taking pictures with him who didn't really like him at all.
Maybe I'm the only one who's really into this stuff, but Peter Boyle had a man on his show this morning who verbally attacked Michelle Malkin (conservative blogger) and nearly started a riot. He was saying that it was her fault and her "bodyguards" (fellow bloggers helping her out) where trying to keep him from speaking.
This guy is a 9/11 "truther" and when asked to describe her not only did he say she had see-through skin, and blue veins, and looked like the star wars princess about to cast a spell on him, he also called her a neo-con. First of all, I don't take people seriously who use demonizing adjectives to describe people. It immediately shows me that they have an agenda and that they don't really care about discussing the real issues we need to talk about to make the country better.
The other thing he called is something that you can also use to completely discredit someone in an argument like this. He called her a neo-con. If you aren't familiar with the correct use of the term because it's been distorted and it's being used as a derogatory to describe a super right wing conservative, it actually means a liberal who became a conservative and is actually still somewhat liberal in their views.
So anytime I hear someone use this now I know they haven't done their homework and they probably aren't too interested in having a discussion, but they are just interested in bashing other people. See for yourself.
These are the people interested in "peace." I may have to recant my statement yesterday. I kind of want to go hang out with Michelle Malkin.
