On Friday, the 7th of September, Kevin Foley had a column published, supposedly contrasting the two national political conventions. Rather than being objective, it was fraught with confirmation bias.
In response, I submit the following observation of the Democratic National Convention, from the other side of the room.
First Lady, Michelle Obama had a heartfelt plea. “Please, please re-elect my husband. If you don’t, I won’t be able to take any more of those half million dollar vacations at taxpayer expense. Besides, Barack would not be able to find a job in this economy that he has only made worse. I mean who is going to hire a lawyer, who is no longer licensed, who practiced law very little, and whose only qualification is that he does very well at spending other people’s money. If you don’t vote for my husband, you are a racist. Besides, I won’t be proud of my country any more, so there. “
While pounding the GOP for its fictional "War on Women", the Dems chose to honor one of the generals in that War (if, indeed, there is a War), a man who was involved in the deaths of more women than 99% of the legal gun owners in the country, Senator Ted Kennedy. If you want to know just how great he was, ask the Kopechne family
Then, former President Jimmy (“I lusted after them, in my heart”) Carter, a man who inspires the same kind of excitement as a used paper towel, attempted to explain why we should vote for Obama. He never quite got the message across. Frankly, his enthusiasm, or lack of same, indicated that he didn’t really think we should.
No parade of ex-Presidents would be complete without Bill (“I lusted, but I didn’t confine it to my heart”) Clinton, the man who, single-handedly, expanded the vocabulary of an entire generation of children, to include words like infidelity, adultery, oral sex, semen, perjury and impeachment. The mothers of the country thank him. His message, however, centered on his lesser known accomplishments, those actually associated with the Presidency.
Finally, the man himself got to talk, Barack Obama, the President of the United States. His message was as simple as the man himself. “I have spent four years trying to find out what needs to be done. Now, give me another four years and I will try to really accomplish something positive. If you will just overlook 42 months of 8% plus unemployment, a 50% increase in the national debt, doubling of the gas prices, adding six million people to the poverty rolls, a decline of 10% in the median household income, devaluation of property, rising taxes, and a downward credit rating adjustment, all accomplished without even making a budget, you should be able to find a way to vote for me. If you don’t you are a racist!”
They chose to spit in the face of every legal immigrant and every naturalized citizen now living and who has ever lived, by allowing a lawbreaker to speak at a national convention. That’s right.. An illegal alien, a young girl took the podium and admitted that she knew for a period of time that she was breaking the law by being here. She thanked Obama for aiding and abetting in her crime. How brazen can you get?
Just to be sure they offended everybody, they booed Israel….. then they booed GOD!
What a fun bunch of guys and gals, huh?

Have a nice day.
You are the one with the overly inflated ego.
As to intellect, I will match mine with yours any day.
Have a nice day.
@DA: Proof read before posting, then make corrections, it will make you look less pedestrian.
Once again, a great job at cutting through the nonsense of liberal nonsense speak. The paragraph that told readers that an illegal immigrant addressed the DNC convention, I think, is not known by most Americans.
It, flat out, shows that the DNC and its members care only for getting reelected and have no regard for the laws of our country and particularly, for the jobs and well being of their fellow Americans.
It also tells us that they know they have the black vote and now they want to nail down a bigger piece of the Hispanic vote.
If the voting (legal) members of the Democrats would, honestly , look at the behavior of the DNC, and look at it as patriotic Americans, the DNC would get few if any, votes.
The strong tie among between entitlement receivers, unions and the Democratic party will, as Romney pointed out, result in about 47% of the voting public to preserve their status and vote for Obama.
I await the day when God boos us!
as to fact checkers, ths quote pretty much sums it up, IMHO.
"All so-called "fact checker" columns are nothing but opinion columns with deceiving names."
They are about as reliable as pollsters. Both of them are about 90% accurate, but only about 10% of the time.
It is, of course, written as sarcastic satire, in hope that thinking people might see the absurdity in both it and Mr. Foley's biased analysis.
