The Republican National Convention goes on in Minnesota. To kick things off, Republicans played hooky on their own opening day, elaborately theatricizing (with the good sport-complicity of the established media they rabidly rant against) an evacuation of people in a state they failed in when Hurricane Katrina hit, Louisiana.
With my fellow Guardsmen back then, we checked out the crisis in Katrina. We were choppered in by our U.S. Army helicopters. My military unit stayed there for less than a month. My military brothers and I were never in any peril, as we had, man!, the works of logistical support for food, water and hygiene essentials. Soon a corporal, Specialist Dery, put together an ingenious latrine, which he smartly called, “Camp Dery.” I even bought a whole ream of Winston cigarettes to share with my squad, and had time to write a love letter to one of the NCO’s daughters.
My team leadet J.M. joked often that we better watch out to not getting bitten by any “malaria dog”: a canine wandering streets having sipped dirty residual floodwater.
Clearing Americans out of their own homes, that’s what the Republicans have done through eight years of having them at the helm of our White House.
Rudy Giuliani rants idiotically against “community organizers.” There is more red meat in a can of Bush brand beans than there is a simple count of American states where Republicans, in our primaries, did chuse Rudy to himself be the standard-bearer for their Grand Oiled Party.
Romney and Rudy are caught in a paranoia about the “leftists” and “liberal media elitists” going after them. In Romney’s own Massachusetts, his greatest media enemy is the Boston Herald, a sports gab tabloid. The Boston Herald is more of a dry pet food carton than it is a promoter of leftist things. Week in and week out (even often days in succession), the Boston Herald maligns our own Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, on the front page.
As Romney tactlessly avowed in his Republican convention speech, he, Mitt Romney, hates teachers’ unions. I finished high school in Brookline, where my teachers (S.Y., P.T., M.A.T.M., N. and pretty much the whole good lot of them) succeeded in an organizing against the poor treatment they received from the President George Herbert Walker Bush-Governor Weld scheme of things. Romney does not love schoolkids. Mitt does not love schoolkids over and above their teachers. Teachers motivate kids in school, and we better crack a trunk of lobster for these teachers, so the teachers, public servants, as we who have enlisted in armed service, receive their own due motivation from our State that fields them into the great mission of building great American minds.
As former Governor of our Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney failed to build a Latter-Day Nuclear Power Plant in the Greater Boston Area, although certainly there was a flood of Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard brains who could have suited up for the task. We even have the Charles River as a viable body of water for cooling nuclear power plant processes. Instead, Romney toured scattered destinations of our country, like he was The Grateful Dead, in his failed bid to run for the presidency himself. Most of the Republican base rejected the Romney acid. In him, they found too much of “A Touch of Gay.”
Governor and Vice-Presidential candidate Sarah Palin gave a rousing speech tonight. Sarah Palin proved to be an effective speaker. As a governor, Sarah Palin has secured earmarks for the benefit of her own political office.
Palin describes now as ” a crucial hour.” I don’t buy into this schemed narrowing of the time for our political action. Sure enough, our Hillary Rodham Clinton bested her fellow Democrat contender Barack Obama in the last-moment decision primary-votes (Hillary won over an impressive deal of late deciders. All that, put together with her formidable established supporter base, from working folk to a top cultural TV CEO, brought her head-to-head in the primaries with Obama.), but the issues on our shoulders FOR THE PAST EIGHT YEARS WITH A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT HEADING IT ALL IN WASHINGTON, D.C. has wrecked homes with the evil that trumps adultery, foreclosure.
Roland Martin reminds us all that without the community, sense of community and community organizers, our America will not meet its American-ness; we would not meet our most urgent needs: home ownership and health care . Rudy Giuliani hates community. Even when crazy Iblis-worshipping Saudi Arabians strike our Big Apple, New York City, Rudy Giuliani sees no need for people to organize our American community. The totally disorganized Rudy failed to secure a W for himself in the community of Florida. Even had Jeb Bush helped Rudy in the primaries, Rudy still would have been a boo-hosed A-Rod.
When the Democrats reaffirmed their Unity with our Nation, the United States of America, and each other (Joe Leave-`em-all. long since been an I-ain’t-dependable) once more in their Denver convention, Hillary Rodham Clinto and William Jefferson Clinton addressed our America. Hillary Rodham Clinton thanked John McCain for being our hero against Vietnam. Bill Clinton thanked John McCain for the Arizona senator’s wartime service. Al Gore put in fitting praise for our John McCain. John Kerry also recognized the bravery of our fellow serviceman, John Cindy McCain. Michelle and Barack Obama pay respect to John McCain for sacrificing his life and limb as a Hanoi hostage. Our John McCain took up arms against our enemy, communism. The gooks and dinks had him in their hands for a painful amount of time, and battered his arms.
U.S. Senator McCain suffered for all of us Americans in the Hanoi enclosure. It was no Hilton. I have slept in Hilton hotel rooms as a Hilton Hotel guest. I love Hilton Hotels. I love having breakfast in a Hilton Hotel.
The gooks did not take McCain to a Hilton.
McCain stood by our America in a Hanoi enclosure.
Now, working American couples and their families face rampant home foreclosure.
Now and then, a couple hit by home foreclosure would burn, or try to burn, the home they would lose to the failing home economy brought about by successive terms of Republicans choke-holding our White House.
It is a frustration as ugly as the burning of our flag.
Republican Party leaders put up signs of claiming “Country First,” but the country that the GOP feeds American adults into is Iraq.
When Republicans Party leaders orchestrate chants of “U.S.A., U.S.A.!” what these Republican leaders actual secure is an Untouchable Saudi Arabia, where Banbar Bush lights a Cuban cigar, heaven forbid, even in this next week’s anniversary of the Osama-Bin-Laden-Saudi Arabia-caused tragedy, the wrongful attack on our World Trade Center twin towers.
The GOP will fail.
