Media hack gets demonstration of class
Chris Matthews of MSNBC is an annoying hack of monumental proportions, and he confirms that with a question that he asked of Condoleeza Rice yesterday.

Earlier, Obama declined a request from a prominent Catholic cardinal to say a prayer at the Democratic National Convention next month. Cardinal Dolan made the offer after agreeing to giving a benediction at the Republican National Convention.
That's changed. Cardinal Dolan is now delivering prayers at both conventions.

UPDATE: Regal Columbia Mall Stadium 8 Movie Times and Tickets
UPDATE II and bumped to top: Box office shocker. 2016 Obama’s America at #3? Money quote:
Let’s be clear about something else that “almost never happens.” It’s a movie which is critical of Democrats ever seeing the light of day outside the production studio. This film only cost $2.5M to make and it looks like it’s going to have taken in nearly four times that amount by the time the convention kicks off. It’s a fairly remarkable story.

Double standards
As some pundits are known to say, "If it weren't for double standards, liberals would have no standards at all."
And Team Obama is perfectly fine with that, even when a liberal bastion like the Boston Globe calls them on their hypocrisy.
Time for Obama to go.

Intolerance is Intolerance
Even if you're not much of a church goer, the current Christian bashing should sicken you to the stomach. Intolerance is intolerance, regardless of the reason. The Constitution provides for freedom of religion, a point that is lost on the left.

If so, why is US reliance on Saudi oil going back up? Obama's policies aren't working it seems. Like the rest of his administration, his energy policies are mostly a failure.

Biden, Obama, and scraping the bottom of the barrel
First, the lies and deception:
And then the stupidity: ‘Uncle Choo-Choo’ Biden Unsure Just Where He Is
And, finally, the acceptance of deceit and stupidity: Obama campaign spokesman: We have no objection to Biden’s “chains” comment
As one person put it, the Obama campaign is scraping the bottom of the barrel. But that doesn't mean they won't stop.
So be sure to pass this on. This is what the next four years will be like if Obama wins this election.
UPDATE and BUMPED TO TOP: Romney rips Obama over Biden’s “chains” remark: These smears are disgracing the office of the presidency

"Ending the futility of political trench warfare"
This election has been compared to that of 1980 in its importance. I suspect it is even more important. I think this election is about two very different ways of life or culture, that of liberty and free institutions versus that of corporatism and collectivism. It's the Tea Party versus the Occupiers. The Packs stand, at least at this time, for the former; the Dems stand foursquare for the latter. We have not had an election over such disparate cultures since 1860.This is a comment in a discussion from a small blog that I read, concerning the elections this year. I strongly recommend it as a primer as to why voting is so important this year. None of the people involved are well known talking heads, but American citizens like you and me, people who do not want to see America's downfall, talking basic common sense.
Read the whole thing, as they say.
Walla Walla Fair Update
From Martha:
Thanks to all who volunteered to work at our Tea Party booth at the upcoming fair.

Please plan to attend our September meeting on Tuesday September 11th. Our guest speaker will be Glen Morgan from the Freedom Foundation.

A few thoughts......
Thanks to Martha:
Now it's Official, Rep Paul Ryan is Romney's pick to serve as his running mate in November. It is an interesting choice...one that makes both the Tes Party activists and the Democratic party loyalists happy.
For the Tea Party, the choice firms up Romney's commitment to entitlement reform (including the repeal of Obamacare), tax reform and a smaller government based on enumerated powers. For the social conservatives, Ryan is a solid family man who is both pro-life and pro-second amendment.
For big government Democrat loyalists, they beleive that they can demonize the Ryan budget proposals...scare the elderly and they can use Ryan to paint Romney as radically out of the mainstream.
There's an old saying, "Be careful what you wish for". The Democrats in 1980 wanted to run against Ronald Reagan and the Repub;icans in 2008 wanted to run against Barrak Obama. How'd that work out for them?
If the 2010 election results are any indication of the wisdom of the American voters...(they tossed out 73 liberal big government DC politicians and nearly 700 more at the state and local level across the country)...adding Ryan to the national ticket could turn dreams forthis November into their worst nightmare.
What follows are some thoughts from the past few days. Enjoy...and pass this newsletter on to your social media contacts. Visit www.inspireandignite.com and join the Second Continental Army.

The rebuilding begins this November.
By Representative Paul Ryan
President Obama recently made a stunning remark about business owners in America's free enterprise economy. After dismissing the hard work and ingenuity of successful individuals, the president said, "If you've got a business, you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen." Who? Ultimately, the government.
Yet this was only the latest version of the president's four-year disparagement of American entrepreneurialism. In 2008, then-candidate Obama said he intended to "spread the wealth around" -- not his own wealth through voluntary transactions, of course, but the earnings belonging to American families through coercive redistribution. In April 2009, he claimed that the founding principles on which America was built are too weak to withstand 21st century pressures. He called our free economy a house built upon sand, destroyed when the financial storm of 2008 hit. America must be reconstructed, he asserted, upon a "new foundation" of "pillars" hewn from the solid rock of big government.
The agenda he promoted demonstrated in a practical way what his rhetoric meant. He pushed unprecedented stimulus spending, a government-driven health care overhaul, further distortions in the U.S. financial sector, an expensive cap-and-trade system to restrict American energy, and more. His transformative proposals were based on a vision of a government-centered society that conflicts with the foundational principles of freedom and equality rooted in our Declaration of Independence. To support his expansive new vision of government without limits, the administration sent Congress four massive annual budgets that called for crushing levels of debt. The Democrat-controlled Senate, cognizant of the political peril of voting for such reckless spending, taxes, and new debt, gave up on budgeting altogether. The U.S. Senate unanimously rejected Obama's budgets, without passing any budget of its own for over three years.
The failed leadership and the dismal results from a president of such great promise have been disappointing. The moment of truth in front of us is of course not entirely his fault. Both political parties have failed the American people over the years, and both political parties have -- time and again -- prioritized political gain at the expense of principle. Thankfully, we have a historic opportunity in the year ahead to chart a new course, build a broad coalition for reforms that apply our timeless principles to today's most pressing challenges. It begins by reclaiming the core of what makes America exceptional: our commitment to freedom.

Which party?
Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, is the comedic gift that keeps on giving, with her non-stop lies and spinning.
Today, she claimed not to know the political affiliation of Priorities USA SuperPAC, a pro-Obama group co-founded by two former Obama staffers. The same SuperPAC that has been releasing advertising that unfairly links Romney to the death of a woman.
Although Wassermann-Schultz later backtracked on her statement, it's important to be clear: Priorities USA is a Democrat affiliated group.
