That changes things

Interesting informative article on Ryan.
I am quite pleased with Romney’s selection.

Excerpts:

Ryan, the seven-term representative from Wisconsin’s 1st Congressional District, speaks quickly, as if the coming collapse might happen in the middle of his remarks if he takes too much time. It’s a bracing message. He is saying, in effect, that the American experiment, our 236 extraordinary years of self-government, is on the verge of failure.

And yet Ryan is smiling. It’s not the phony grin of a politician seeking votes, or the half-smirk of a charlatan putting one over on a group of rubes. It’s a real smile—the eager smile of someone excited to share important news. Paul Ryan believes he has the solution to these problems. And after a long and often lonely fight to convince his fellow Republicans that they should be talking about these issues, Ryan is succeeding.

Brownback says that Ryan is just not a political guy. “It’s all policy to him,” Brownback says. “People don’t appreciate just how much of a policy guy Ryan is and how little of a politician he is.”

“America faces a choice between two fiscal and economic futures,” Ryan wrote in the introduction.

In one, the Federal Government attempts to satisfy the multiple needs of a changing population, in a rapidly changing world, with outdated policies that demand ever-rising levels of public spending. The effort overwhelms the government’s capacities, and smothers the economy under crushing burdens of debt and high taxes. It is a future in which America’s best century is the past century.

The second future calls for a transformation—or more accurately, a restoration of the principles that created America’s freedom and prosperity. It is the path set out in a plan I have developed called A Roadmap for America’s Future.Ryan has already achieved one objective he’d set for himself when he decided to remain in Congress and work on entitlement reform. “My goal was to move the center of gravity in the Republican party on these issues.

It seemed naïve, maybe impossible before he started. His next goal could be characterized the same way. “There’s no way you can actually save this country from a debt crisis, and save the American idea, if you don’t do the kinds of things we’re proposing,” Ryan says. “We’ll see how it ends.”

Yep just a ploy

Israel willingly acceded to Cairo’s request for permission to deploy fighter planes and armored troop carriers in Sinai – a demilitarized buffer zone under their 1979 peace treaty – in support of President Mohamed Morsi’s counter-terror offensive against lawless Islamist bands. debkafile reports: It was soon realized in Washington and Jerusalem that the “offensive” was largely bogus and being used less for eliminating Salafi terrorists and more for purging the Egyptian military of pro-Western influence and promoting its takeover by the Muslim Brotherhood.

2 cents:

Deja vu – as I have shared since June what is going to happen is MB/Islamists usurping the nation of Egypt and plunging it into the darkness of radical Islam (see Taliban and Iran for examples). Of course Washington is shocked (they have been for quite awhile – or so they say.) Remember the CES, our miserable president, wanted the MB to win because the MB only wants democracy to flourish in Egypt (wink, wink).

It is happening in front of your eyes, that is, if you are watching.

 

CES = chief empty suit

Wrestling in Egypt

Morsi axes military and intelligence chiefs. Look for Morsi to appoint MB brethren to these key posts.

This is exactly what I warned he would do when he became president. He desperately needs these two key posts to be MB people so he can wrestle the country to Islamists – synonym for trouble. Don’t forget it is the MB that CES wanted as leaders in Egypt. Don’t ever forget that!

Do so-called leaders learn from history?

One of the biggest errors that the USA and other countries made prior to WWII was not taking the ravings of the madman Hitler seriously. He put in deed, print and spoken word his hatred of the Jewish people, his belief that they ruled the world and kept many nations “down” and he also shared his solution. Hitler also was coy in how he allowed and played the so-called diplomatic games merely to provide cover and time for his true intentions to be realized. He practiced making promises and even signing peace documents while “his fingers were crossed” merely so he could get the other side to believe peace was realized or that diplomacy was working. History reveals he was a liar, killer, hater, evil and maniacal.

Do so-called leaders learn from history?

We have the same SOP being played out in the country of Iran by its president Ahmadinejad and the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iran sponsors which means funds, prepares strategies and arms terrorists to strike Israel such as Hezbollah and Hamas.

Read the latest from Iran and consider what I am writing.

Rousing speech

Listen – at least one representative in Congress gets it

5:04 minutes

This from Nolte at Breitbart

People can debate whether or not Romney made a diplomatic “gaffe” all they want, but what’s not debatable is that even outside of the world of horserace politics, our collapsing economy is a very serious matter which makes it, you know, newsworthy. The media, however, is showing little to no interest in the fact that over the last few economic quarters our GDP has collapsed from 4.1% to 1.5%.

GDP collapsing from 4.1% growth to 1.5% is free fall.

Three months of job growth under 100k when you need more than twice that number just to keep up with population growth is free fall. Home sales plummeting 8.4% is free fall. Consumer confidence dipping, business inventories increasing, manufacturing contracting, and more people getting disability than jobs, is free fall.

The only way this failed and failing and flailing president can win reelection is to toxify his opponent into someone the public will see as NOT an acceptable alternative to Obama — and this is exactly what the corrupt media is making sure happens by ignoring over 20 million people struggling in their under-employed or unemployed status while keeping its focus on all-things Mitt 24/7.

Even as the economy collapses ands real suffering increases, all the media can do is hysterically amplify every real and perceived mistake Romney makes  and when not doing that, focus intently on the very areas Obama wants the focus on: Romney’s wealth and the fact he’s not releasing more of his taxes than John McCain did.

Rice writes

Honest, I wrote the post this morning before reading the Rice article located here.

I agree with about 90% of what she wrote.

The big takeaway point from the article is we need a President that is a leader who embraces and believes that the USA is an exceptional country. The article is short, maybe 5 minutes long. Good synopsis of the gaping vacuum in the president’s office.
