Top Obama champion switches for Romney

'Being Republican is cool, being conservative is the right thing'

by Joe Kovacs / WND

In 2008, he was one of the biggest champions for Barack Obama, even serving as an Obama campaign co-chairman and seconding Obama’s nomination at the Democratic National Convention.

But that was then, this is now.

Today, Artur Davis, a former four-term Democratic congressman from Alabama is now supporting Republican Mitt Romney for president, and is joining him on the campaign trail in Arlington, Va.

Just last month in Falls Church, Va., Davis gave a rousing address to the Northern Virginia Tea Party, rallying the crowd to defeat his former ally Obama.

The Birmingham News indicated “Davis’ sermon-like speech, invoking both the 1980 Reagan revolution and Rosa Parks, earned a standing ovation and chants of ‘USA.’”

During that speech (scroll down for video), Davis also encouraged young people: “You tell everybody your age that being Republican is cool, being conservative is the right thing to do. It’s the right set of values. You testify, you minister, and you bring ‘em on board with you, because we’re not going to concede young people to the Democratic Party in 2012.”

Two years ago, Davis ran unsuccessfully for governor of Alabama, and in May of this year, he left the Democratic Party to become a Republican.

In June, Davis said he thinks his former political party was becoming more unwelcoming toward Southern conservative Democrats.

“I think the Obama administration has candidly gone too far to the left. You can raise all kinds of questions on whether that’s good politics or not,” he said on CNN’s “The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer.”

“Obviously the election will determine that.”

According to the Hill, Davis was the only black Democrat in the U.S. House of Representatives to vote against Obamacare.

The Hill notes, “He has grown increasingly vocal over his disagreements with his party, at one point lamenting on his website that ‘[the Democratic Party of today] is not Bill Clinton’s Democratic Party.’”

ABC News called Davis “this season’s most high-profile political turncoat, which puts him in some heavy-hitting company.”

To all my followers on my personal FB page and on Patriots United Against Obama Propaganda...

OK guys...I've been kicked off Facebook yet again, this time for 7+ days, because someone reported a photograph I had put in my album about islam...over 6 months ago!  No one had a problem with this photograph until today; a photograph that was NEVER posted on the Patriots site or any other site by me, and one, in fact, that has been all over the newspapers and internet for months.

Just want everyone to know that I've been stalked on FB, very seriously stalked, over the last week or so and I suspect that might be behind this.

Hopefully I will be back in 7 or so days and I trust you all will do right by 'patriots.'  We only have 83 days left to turn our country around so let's get the job done!

I can always be reached through this blog, my e-mail, or in my messages as FB doesn't have control over everything.  I will continue to post my Op-eds and interesting articles here daily.

Black Like Us: The Race Clownery of Obama-Biden 

By: Michelle Malkin  Townhall Daily

Looks like Vice President Joe Biden has been taking extracurricular Democratic jive-talking lessons. The results of condescending liberals' cynical racial pandering attempts are, as always, seismically cringe-inducing.

At a campaign event in Danville, Va., the gaffetastic veep dropped his g's and picked up a bizarre twang in front of an audience of black voters. Middle-Class Joe swapped his Home Depot apron for an A.M.E. preacher's robe and sermonized about the big, bad GOP.

Romney's "gonna let the big banks once again write their own rules," Biden shouted. "Unnnn-chain Wall Street," he exclaimed with pulpit bravado. "They're gonna put y'all back in chains," the pasty Delaware wheeler-dealer faux-drawled. Extra-emphasis on the "y'all."

Yes, Biden is rattling chains like an extra in "Roots." This is the same politician of pallor who cracked jokes about Indians who work in 7-Elevens and who referred to his now-boss as "clean" and "articulate." Yet, Biden's demagoguery was met with approving hoots and hollers. Or rather, hollas.

Naturally, the defiant Obama campaign backed up Biden and gave a shout-out of its own. Welcome to the new tone -- and the same old slime. Prevaricating spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter (last seen defending the phony, indefensible Romney-killed-a-steelworker's-wife ad run by Obama Super PAC Priorities USA) chimed in after Biden's speech. "We have no problem with those comments," she told MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell. Biden "was using a metaphor" with which the president agrees.

Timing matters. Biden's race-baiting came after a weekend clogged with divisive jabs at GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney's announcement of Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan as his running mate.

Democratic Rep. Donna Christensen, the non-voting delegate from the U.S. Virgin Islands to the U.S. House of Representatives, tweeted: "Wait a minute! Are there black people in Va? Guess just not w Romney Ryan! At least not seeing us. We know who's got our back & we have his." Left-wing actress Mia Farrow watched the announcement and derided a "whole bunch of white people." They were joined by countless "progressive" social media users who mocked the GOP's "white guy, white guy 2012!!!" Sirius XM radio host Dave Rubin -- himself the color of discount Charmin toilet paper -- called Romney-Ryan "the whitest ticket since the KKK voted for their box social chairperson."

Gotta love post-racial America!

The poisonous slavery allusion echoed the former pastor of Biden's boss. Rev. Jeremiah Wright, you may recall, used the same "chains" imagery to justify his "God Damn America" diatribe. "America," he inveighed in Obama's old Chicago-based Trinity United Church, put blacks in "chains ... and then wants us to sing 'God Bless America'? No, no, no. Not God bless America; God damn America!"

Biden's stunt also echoes Hillary Clinton's infamous black church minstrel performances in which she unleashed a mortifying Southern-spiced-with-street accent to show her street solidarity: "For the last five years, we've had No. Power. At. All. And that makes a big difference, because when you look at the way the House of Representatives has been run, it has been run like a plantation. An' yew know what ah'm talkin' about." At an event with race-hustler Al Sharpton, she poured it on thicker: "I'm afraid I'm gonna lift up the rug, and I'm goin' to see so much stuff uh-nder thar. ... You know, what is it about us always havin' to clean up after people? ... But this is not just goin' to be pickin' up socks off the floor. This is goin' to be cleanin' up the government."

At least the only thing she manufactured was her patronizing dialect. Remember candidate Barack Obama's 2007 Selma, Ala., speech? To court black voters, Obama claimed that President Kennedy had sponsored the airlift in Africa responsible for bringing his family to the U.S. and asserted that Selma's 1965 Bloody Sunday demonstration brought his parents together and led to his birth. Of course, JFK didn't take office until two years after Obama's father arrived in the U.S., and the president was born four years before Bloody Sunday.

Obama-Biden 2012: Never let facts, civility or scruples get in the way of a racist racial pander.

Panic in the camp of 'black Jesus'

Exclusive: Christopher Monckton of Brenchley notes fear among Obamaites post Ryan pick

by Christopher Monckton of Brenchley / WND

 

 

The amateur president has had an easy ride in his re-election campaign – until now. He has been comfortably ahead in most of the opinion polls. The left-dominated news media continue to fawn upon Mr. Obama as though he were – in the words of one of his own close advisers – “black Jesus.”

Now, the black-Jesus freaks are in a panic. The first attack ads were on your screens within hours of Mitt Romney’s confirmation that Paul Ryan, the tea-party movement’s dream candidate, was to be his running-mate for veep.

The Church of Obama, much outspent by the Latter-Day Saints in the White House campaign, is in a panic. It has even resorted to a swear-word in an email inviting potential supporters to stump up $5 or more to keep Mr. Manchurian in the luxury to which he has become accustomed.

The hard-left “Democrats” of today (the quote-marks should surely be part of WND’s house style from now on) don’t just hate conservatives. They fear us.

Why? For all they try to make out that the tea-party movement is a tiny gathering of beyond-the-fringe extremists, they now suspect – and rightly – that this extraordinary, spontaneous, grass-roots uprising against the left’s encroachments upon liberty represents the opinions not of a marginal, numerically insignificant minority but of the great majority of the people of your great nation.

The “Democrats” also have very good reason to fear Paul Ryan. He is young, fresh-faced, good-looking, charmingly articulate, not fooled by the climate scam, conservative in matters of religion, opposed to baby-butchering. All of these are pluses with voters who had despaired of the wimpy pantywaists who have until recently been in control of the Republican Party. (Margaret Thatcher would have called them “wets.”)

Ryan’s biggest plus, though, is the one the “Democrats” are screeching about most volubly. He must have read my column of last week pointing out that out-of-control federal spending could bring America down without anyone firing a single shot. He has a plan for bringing that spending under control.

To control public spending you have to make the biggest possible cuts at the least political cost.

Yet the sheer grossness of Mr. Obama’s overspending leaves very little room to pick and choose between programs before deciding where the ax should fall. The very large cuts that are now essential to the very survival of the United States leave very little room for political maneuver. A lot of people who have been getting a lot of other people’s money for a long time are going to have to do without it.

It is often said that politicians think only in the short term. The truth is that it is the voters – or at least those who have allowed themselves to become habitually dependent upon the labor of the taxpayer for their living – who think short-term.

At each election, those who live at taxpayers’ expense have just one question in their minds: Which party will keep my gravy-train rolling along for a few more years?

The true significance of Mr. Ryan’s appointment is that, like the trail-blazing Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin, and unlike just about everyone else in the Republican leadership, he is not afraid to be honest with the voters about the fact that the gravy-train has already tipped into the gulch.

Scott Walker fended off a recall challenge by an unholy consortium of unions and other beneficiaries of the taxpayers’ involuntary largesse by being straightforward with everyone about the extent of Wisconsin’s indebtedness and the seriousness of the consequences if it were not addressed.

Gov. Walker’s entire campaign was refreshingly undoctrinaire. Quietly, politely, gently, firmly, persistently, he spelled out how many beans make five (memo to black Jesus: the answer is a whole number greater than four and less than six).

He followed the advice Lenin gave but never followed: “Explain. Always explain.”

A substantial minority of union members voted for him. They could see he was genuinely worried about Wisconsin’s finances, and with good reason. When he gave them the freedom not to belong to unions if they chose not to, many chose not to.

I was also pleased to see that Ted Cruz, an outstanding tea-party candidate in Texas, won his primary. I had the pleasure of hearing him speak brilliantly in his home state recently. He will go far – you heard it here first.

Thanks to the “teabaggers,” suddenly the Grand Old Party – long dead from the neck up and from the neck down – is springing to glorious life once again.

Do not underestimate Paul Ryan, Scott Walker, Ted Cruz, or the countless other first-rate candidates who, thanks to your nation’s enduring devotion to your Founding Fathers’ principles, are now being chosen over the tired, custard-faced apparatchiks of the old Republican Party who preferred doing shoddy deals behind closed doors rather than explaining things openly to the voters.

Will the selection of Rep. Ryan be enough to turn the limp Romney campaign around? I don’t know, but it is a very good start.

Op-ed:

Game, set, match...Harrington vs Wasserman Schultz; West vs Murphy

By: Diane Sori

Last night Florida won big with KAREN HARRINGTON winning the District 23 primary (encompassing sections of Broward and Miami-Dade counties), and LTC ALLEN WEST winning in District 18  (Martin and St. Lucie counties on the Treasure Coast, as well as the northern third of Palm Beach County).

Out of all the primaries in Florida yesterday these two were of paramount importance because of who Karen will go up against, and because in Allen’s case, we MUST make sure he remains in Congress.  Karen will take on the infamous Debbie Wasserman Schultz, otherwise known as ‘Debbie Downer’ by those of us who have the unfortunate distinction of having her as our current Congresswoman.

And Allen West’s race will be one of the dirtiest campaigns ever as George Soros is funneling in millions of dollars towards the running of Democrat challenger Patrick Murphy’s absolutely disgraceful and defamatory ads against our favorite Congressman.

In fact, Congressman West has challenged his Democrat opponent to four debates before the election.  But we all know that really has NO chance of happening, because Murphy has NO experience or real understanding or grasp of the issues.  Our Allen would chew him up and spit out the bones and Murphy knows it.  So all he has is deliberately fabricated lies to run on...and Soro’s money to help spread those lies.

And so it is with Karen Harrington who’s in her second rematch with DWS.  Having garnered 40% of the vote against Debbie during her first run as a basically an unknown, Karen now has the name recognition and momentum two years later.  But while DWS will be heavily financed by the Democratic political machine, hopefully the end of her stay in Congress is at hand as Karen has strong backing from major conservative and Tea Party players, a huge volunteer grassroots support team (of which I am a proud member), in addition to having won the primary in such a resounding way with her strong conservative message.

Karen issued this challenge to DWS, “I am challenging the Congresswoman to no less than five town hall-style debates so the constituents of the 23rd Congressional district can make a better, more informed choice as to who should be their representative in Congress.”  But like Allen’s challenge to Patrick Murphy we all know that will NOT happen as DWS does NOT speak in public unless she’s well scripted or preaching to her die-hard unquestioning followers.

And while both Karen and Allen readily beat their challengers, Karen was up against four other individuals vying for the chance to take on DWS.  And let’s just say that some of the opposition campaigning was not pretty.  And even with all the negative attack ads, phone calls, and TV commercials lobbied against Karen, she still handily won the primary by staying on task and sticking to the issues and her conservative message.

And this shows above all else that people are tired of the negative...they want solutions to the serious problems facing us under this current administration NOT infighting amongst the ranks.  And while the two who did the most attacks on Karen did call to congratulate her, and I thank them for that, the other two did not, and this is just plain wrong as we must forge ahead as a united front against Obama’s little lapdog and Pelosi wannabe.  If all of us in District 23 come together, bury the proverbial hatchet, and join ranks behind Karen, no matter who we supported in the primary, we can send Debbie Wasserman Schultz packing.  And that should be the main focus, objective, and goal.

So again, congratulations to Congressman Allen West and DWS challenger Karen Harrington for a job well done...and now the hard work begins on the grassroots level to send one back to Congress and the other to Congress for the first time.

As always, November 6^th can’t come fast enough.
