You must check out this link to see a soldier in uniform who confronted a moderator at the Daily Koz convention. They wanted no part of him or the facts that he had. This video really bothers me, yet at the same time makes me proud. To see this soldier stand up to these leftist anti-military, anti-American lunatics makes me feel good. If you watch the video you will notice that what bothers them the most is the fact that this soldier is wearing the uniform of the United States of America, and he is proud of it.

Video: Mitt Romney Defends His Mormon Faith During a Commercial Break on a Radio Show
Below is a video filmed from the studio camera at a radio station Mitt was being interviewed on. It starts off friendly enough, but begins to become a little heated just before the commercial break when the host starts to question his Mormon beliefs and abortion. The camera continues to roll during the break, seemingly without Mitt’s knowledge as the confrontation becomes even more heated.
The best part of the video is how they quickly come back on the air for a thirty second spot to say goodbye as if nothing happened, only to return to the argument as soon as they are off the air.
I say good for Mitt, stand up for yourself.
This video is pretty long at around twenty minutes, but it is riviting.
Sean Penn Meets Hugo Chavez
This is all you need to know:
But that’s not going to stop me from commenting anyways.
Once again another Hollywood elitist liberal shows us his total naivety or stupidity of the world around him. The left again shows us that in their hearts they are socialists. They feel guilty for all the money they have so they want us to spread around our money. Here’s an idea Sean, if you feel so guilty stop earning a living, give some of your money away. Sean’s hatred of GWB has pushed him into the loving coddling arms of a benevolent dictator, all the while proclaiming Bush is the dictator. Does anyone else the the ironic side of this?
Hugo Chavez has been slowly leading his country towards communism, and Sean Penn would rather talk to him than to our president, who is securing his liberty to do such a thing. What a brilliant mind this Sean Penn has.
Chavez met privately with the 46-year-old actor for two hours Thursday, praising him as being “brave” for urging Americans to impeach President Bush.
“In the name of the peoples of the world, President Bush, withdraw the troops from Iraq. Enough already with so much genocide,” Chavez said before an auditorium packed with his red-clad supporters.
Penn sat near the front, at times applauding and nodding in agreement.
So what did this man talk to Chavez about?
Chavez said he and Penn discussed the question of “why the (U.S.) empire attacks Chavez so much,” saying Venezuela’s oil wealth is a key reason.
He also said Washington is “afraid that the people of the United States will learn the real truth” about the situation in Venezuela, citing his social programs for the poor.
“If the people of the United States, those millions and millions of poor people … if that nation realizes what is truly happening here, there would be a revolution in the United States,” Chavez said, eliciting applause from Penn.
Applauding Chavez’s move toward communism, unbelievable. Of course Penn is being used by Chavez and is too stupid to realize it. Does he really think that Chavez would show him anything other than the great accomplishments of his country? Was he taken to see the poverty stricken people of Venezuela? No.
Chavez said the actor came wanting to learn about Venezuela.
“That man has opposed the war in Iraq with all his strength, and not only that, he went to Baghdad … and now he comes here. He’s going around touring the ‘axis of evil,'” Chavez said with a chuckle.
A chuckle, he couldn’t help but laugh at how stupid Penn was for being used in such an obvious way.
Isn’t it funny that the character Penn played in Fast Times At Ridgemont High, Spiccolli, was smarter than the acter that played him?
Kingston Days in New Hampshire Meets Politics
I live in the town of Kingston, New Hampshire. Every year on the first weekend of August we have a little fair called Kingston days. People rent spaces and sell nic-nacs and trinkets. Kingston sells souvenir t-shirts and sweatshirts. People set up booths and sell pizza, dogs, french fries, and eveyone just enjoys themselves. There is an antique car show on Sunday. That is my two boys favorite part of the fair.
This is a great time to just get outside with the family, maybe see neighbors, and get away from reality and politics for a few hours. Until this year. I was walking around today at the fair, having a good time, and then there it was. Someone had a booth set up for Hillary Clinton. I looked in disbelief, I had to be seeing things as I had never seen anything political set up during Kingston Days before, but there is was. Read more…
A new Zogby poll came out, and the American people have given congress an approval rating on the war that is so low it is downright laughable. It is almost unbelievable it is so low. Surely, I must be kidding, their approval ratings can’t be THAT LOW, can they. How low do I consider laughable? Here is the answer:
– only 3% give Congress positive marks for how it has handled the war. This lack of confidence in Congress cuts across all ideologies. Democrats – some of whom had hoped the now Democrat-led Congress would bring an end to the war in Iraq – expressed overwhelming displeasure with how Congress has handled the war, with 94% giving Congress a negative rating in its handling specifically of that issue.
3% approval rating on the war. WOW. Now, I’m sure as the statement above mentions, many of the Democrats polled naively thought that the Democrats could an would really end the war. That is their own fault, if you are a Democrat and you voted on the one issue of ending the war, you were a fool for believing they had any real intention of doing so. But I believe many people are also upset at how the congress has been trying to undermine the troops. In news that should be equally troublesome for the congress:
To best show support for the troops, 42% believe Congress should fully fund the war in Iraq to maintain current troop levels, while 34% would favor attaching requirements for phased withdrawal to Iraq war funding. Just 18% said cutting all funding for the war in Iraq to bring troops home would be the best showing of Congressional support.
Only 18% believe that the war should just be defunded. Normally the Democrats would follow this type of polling data, but there is one problem. Who is that 18%? That 18% is the Democrat base. A very vocal and well funded base. So the Democrats are forced to try and appease their base, while trying to sound tough on terror, and they will never pull it off. The American people are too smart. Or at least I hope they are.
See what appeasement gets you? It gets you stepped on and played for fools.

New Hampshire to Propose Higher Gas Taxes and Tolls
Just when you thought all the new taxes and fees were done being raised in New Hampshire in comes this.
Gasoline tax hikes and higher tolls are on a list of proposed fixes to the state Highway Fund that acting Transportation Commissioner Charles O’Leary recommended to lawmakers yesterday.
In a time when gasoline prices are at an all time high, as is the price of a barrel of oil, BAM the liberal state Democrats propose that you should pay more. The price of gas is being used as a political issue in the presidential elections and yet Democrats in New Hampshire are ready to make us pay more. It seems to me that the party that cares so much for the down-trodden in the world has had no problems raising taxes on these exact same people. This is the latest example. Who will higher gas taxes hurt the most? Low income earners of course. How can the party for the middle class have such a backdoor tax increase? Because they don’t care about us.
the state will need an extra 22 cents a gallon in gas taxes over the next 20 years for the state to stay even.
And not just higher gas taxes but higher tolls, and more of them.
should also consider increasing tolls across the board
He also suggested a new toll booth on the F.E. Everett Turnpike in Nashua
I must be the only New Hampshire resident who is not surprised by this, at least it feels that way sometimes.
The latest New Hampshire budget had a 17.5% increase in spending, and doesn’t include money for the roads. What is even scarier though is that the latest budget doesn’t even include the funding for the governor’s new definition of an adequate education which the courts illegally said we must fund. Where is that money coming from? I have an idea, we can set up toll booths at the school parking lots.

Political Vindication Radio Show Wrap-up
Yesterday I appeared on the Political Vindication radio show. I have to say that I was pretty nervous about doing the show. I had never spoken in front of an audience before, never-mind going on an internet radio show and voicing my opinions.
I think the show went pretty well, I got over my early nervousness. Frank and Shane did an excellent job at making me feel at home.
I have to say that I find their show very entertaining and plan on listening every week. The show runs every Wednesday from 9:00EST to 10:00 EST. The Political Vindication blog is one of the blogs that I make a point of reading evey day and recommend it to everyone.
My one regret on the show was when asked about John McCain I totally forgot to mention the immigration and campaign finance reform bills that he supported. Maybe next time.
If you missed the show and would like to here it, you can listen to the archive by clicking this this link.
I would also like to thank Frank and Shane for having me on.
Believe it or not, Mexico is now claiming that buikding a wall between America and Mexico will have a devistating effect on the environment.
Mexico has urged the US to alter its plans for expanded fences along their shared border, saying they would damage the environment and harm wildlife.
The fences threaten unique ecosystems, Mexican environment officials warned.
This is such a baltant and outright attempt at stopping America from building the wall that would keep the undesirable Mexican citizens from crossing the border into the United State. The truth is that Mexico wants their lower class and poor leaving their country and coming here. That i swhy they want the fence stopped.
A report prepared for the Mexican government by experts and environmental activists from Mexico and the US said the barriers could isolate border animals into smaller groups, affecting their genetic diversity.
These include jaguars, Mexican black bears and the endangered antelope-like Sonora Pronghorn.
The use of intense lights and radar could also affect nocturnal species, they said.
Bullshit. This is an attempt to stop America from closing her borders in the guise of protecting the environment. The Mexican government wants their poor to come here so that they don’t have to deal with them.
“Flying Imams” Drop Lawsuit Against Vigilent Citizens
Today the “flying Imams” dropped their lawsuits against the concerned citizens that reported their extremely suspicious behavior aboard an airplane. They have not dropped the lawsuit against the airline or it’s employees however. If you are unfamiliar with this story, you can read about it here.
This is great news for the citizens who reported the behavior, which included the Imams speaking about hating America, praising Saddam and Osama as verified by another Muslim not with the group who translated what the Imams were saying. Evidently these passengers were not racially profiling this Muslim, just the ones who arranged themselves in the same positions as the 9/11 terrorists, asked for seat-belt extenders even though they didn’t need them, and condemned America.
Now we just need to have them drop the lawsuit altogether. Now that they are not suing the passengers for reporting them, they have no basis, in my opinion, to sue the people who responded to the complaints.
This is why we need to get the so-called John Doe amendment passed. It is hard to believe that we need to have a bill passed that protects American citizens from lawsuits just for reporting suspicious Muslim activity, but we do. While this case has been dropped there will just be another one on the way soon.
I will be a quest on the Political Vindication Radio Show tonight, August 1st. To hear the show live just click on this link and then click on the Listen Live link on the right hand side of the site. That should take you live to the show. The show starts at 6pm PT(9 pm ET), and I will be on around 6:15 PT(9:15 ET). I am looking forward to my appearance, but of course have some apprehension as this will be a first for me. I have listened to the Political Vindication Radio Show and I recommend that everybody give it a listen.
Tonights scheduled topics are:
The left trying to change the number of supreme court justices to make the court more liberal.
A man being charged with a hate crime felony for putting a Koran in a toilet.
And, why has the New York Times now declared the Iraq war is winnable?
The Political Vindication blog is one of my must reads and I recommend that anyone who visits my blog should also read Political Vindication.
Wish me luck! Come listen and maybe join the conversation.
