While shamefully ignored by the mainstream (lame stream) media, few sites are announcing this latest telling episode of the Democrats at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) exposing their radical majority. A couple articles were published generally under a title such as "Amidst Boos And Multiple Votes, DNC Reverses Position And Reinstates Jerusalem",....however the whole story needs to be told.
Actually, this was a vote of the delegates on two amendments to the DNC platform, or what we call the "Socialist Manifesto", to 1 - put the phrase "God-given potential" back into the platform, and 2 - reinstate support for Israel and it's capital of Jerusalem. This decision was, of course, in response to being called on the carpet by Conservatives for leaving the word "God" out of the party plank.
What we will see in the video is the image of the DNC that the Dems do not want the regular population to see. Antonio Villaraigosa, the Los Angeles Mayor serving as the DNC Chairman, called for a voice vote to approve the changes to the Democratic platform. Never mind why the word "God" and support for Israel were out of the plank in the first place.
Villaraigosa called the voice vote three times,...yes, three times! Make up your own mind which voice vote, "Ayes" or "No's", was louder. To everyone's surprise, and I do mean EVERYONE, after the third voice vote, the chagrined Villaraigosa stated "In the opinion of the chair, two thirds have voted in the affirmative." This drew large boo's from at least half of the Democrat delegates, many of whom are anti-God, anti-Christian and Anti-Jew. What are they for, you ask?,....well obviously bigger government, more entitlements, abortion rights, and to re-write the history of this nation. The fact that this country was founded on Christian principles really chaffs their clown asses.
.
Cowboys and the Tea Party political movement have a lot on common. Both believe in individual responsibility; judging a man by his actions not words; and, both are disgusted with government intrusions into our lives and particularly our God given rights.

Immigration Enforcement Chief of Staff Resigns
Suzanne Barr, chief of staff to ICE Director John Morton and a senior Obama administration political appointee as well as a longtime aide to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano resigned this past weekend following allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior from at least three Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) employees.
Barr, who graduated from the University of Arizona in 1995, was among Napolitano's first appointments after she became DHS secretary in 2009. Barr started working for Napolitano in 2004, while Napolitano was governor of Arizona. Barr is accused of sexually inappropriate behavior toward employees. The complaints are related to a sexual discrimination and retaliation lawsuit filed by a senior ICE agent in May.
Cronyism and Nepotism are rampant across the Government, and not just by Democrats. The majority of new hires against the giant unemployment numbers across this country are governmental employees. This just grows the anual deficit and National Debt as government employees, while many of them needed, just do not produce any tangible product. At best they spend their (high) salaries in the local economies.
Ms Barr however did the right thing, resigning from appointed office. Can't say the same about Eric Holder, who ignores blantant violations of the constitution, some of which are committed by his boss President Obama, and only prosecutes when it meets his political agenda. Holder is on record for saying there is no voter fraud in the U.S., and he now looks like a complete ass clown when reports out of North Carolina say there are 25,000 people on the voter rolls who are dead who have been voting.

Obama, OPSEC, bin Laden and General Dempsey
The United States' top military official, Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey, criticized a group of former military and intelligence operatives for their outspokenness through television ads against President Obama's claims that "he killed bin Laden" and from the security leaks that came from no place other than the White House.
While nobody believes that Obama means that he pulled the trigger on bin Laden, Obama's use of removing bin Laden from the face of earth grates on these special operators, because they risked their lives to execute this mission, and they believe Obama is using their efforts to his political gain, and to add insult to injury, all while wanting to gut the military.
Anyway, back to Gen Dempsey who told reporters that he is "disappointed" by such political activity, which he called "not useful." Dempsey comments “If someone uses the uniform, whatever uniform, for partisan politics, I am disappointed because I think it does erode that bond of trust we have with the American people.”
Go to Fox News to read more and watch the video on General Dempsey's comments.
Our comments to General Dempsey are, first - thank you for your service,.....and, secondly those people who call themselves "OPSEC", engaged in what you call "partisan politics", are former service members (from the CIA, Navy Seals and Army Special Forces) and not currently serving in uniform. There is a big difference. While you give up much of your first amendment rights as a service member, once you are out of the service, you have the same rights as anyone else.
Okay, now that we have discussed rights, let's talk responsibility. Everyone has the responsibility to standup and speak to wrongdoings they have witnessed. Where are the uniformed Generals and Flag Officers standing up to Obama over military budget cuts?.......about letting gays serve openly in the military?.....about Obama foreign policy disasters?......about White House security leaks that place American service members at risk and make our allies think we are butt clowns?
You and your peers are at the end of your careers. Please start standing up for what is right even if you have to retire. Stanley McCrystal has the respect of his subordinates and the gratitude of a nation for his stand which cost him a continued career. Pay should not be an issue. Even the four star General star Kip Ward, caught misusing government funds on travel and other misconduct, will retire with a hefty retirement package. All of you Generals retire and move right into some high paying executive gig anyway. It's time for America's senior leadership to stand up and be counted.
Here is the video on OPSEC. Make up your own mind. But before you do that, let's remember a leading Democrat's quote: "I have been on the Intelligence Committee for 11 years, and I have never seen it worse than this; I can tell you that." - Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Chairwoman for the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, referring to the national security leaks coming out of the White House.
