Thursday Night Recap of the DNC Democratic Convention

Here are the videos of the speeches given on the climatic night of the DNC Democratic Convention in Denver, Colorado:



Chairman of the Democrat National Committee, Howard Dean

Say what you will about him. He has been a very effective organizer, cheerleader, and champion of new technologies. I can personally attest that the GOP will crush anyone who would attempt a similar revolution in effectiveness in our party.


Now, comes a trio of videos honoring Martin Luther King, Jr:


Here is Bernice, the only surviving daughter of Martin Luther King, Jr.



Martin Luther King, III. "My Father Would Be Proud"



The DNC Video Tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr. It is far shorter than I would have imagined, but expected if they were to be successful in painting him a a foreshadowing of Obama.



Congressman John Lewis and his remarks from last night, providing the pretext for a bridge between King and Obama.




A musical performance by Will I Am. I include it only to point out the Kaffiyeh worn by one of the performers. That is tantamount to wearing Klan robes or a Nazi armband. The youth of today are not taught history (or even current events) in school. Instead, they are taught the false religion of multiculturalism. Okay...enough ranting. On to the next video...



Virginia Governor Tim Kaine, who was the favorite until Putin invaded Georgia...and forced Obama to go with a Biden pick.



Bill Richardson speaks to the crowd.



Al Gore speaks for 15 minutes to the Democrats gathered at Invesco.




Senator Dick Durbin introduces Barack Obama.




Here is the DNC Convention bio of Senator Barack Obama.




Senator Barack Obama's acceptance speech. This is a 45 minute video.


Well, whaddya think? For once, I would love to see a politician accept their party's nomination in a speech under 5 minutes long.

Barack Obama: Hugo Chavez Rising?

DENVER -- Police in Denver arrested an ABC News producer today as he and a camera crew were attempting to take pictures on a public sidewalk of Democratic senators and VIP donors leaving a private meeting at the Brown Palace Hotel.
Police on the scene refused to tell ABC lawyers the charges against the producer, Asa Eslocker, who works with the ABC News investigative unit.

A cigar-smoking Denver police sergeant, accompanied by a team of five other officers, first put his hands on Eslocker's neck, then twisted the producer's arm behind him to put on handcuffs.
A police official later told lawyers for ABC News that Eslocker is being charged with trespass, interference, and failure to follow a lawful order. He also said the arrest followed a signed complaint from the Brown Palace Hotel.
It was two hours later when Denver police arrived to place Eslocker under arrest, apparently based on a complaint from the Brown Palace Hotel, a central location for Democratic officials.
During the arrest, one of the officers can be heard saying to Eslocker, "You're lucky I didn't knock the f..k out of you."

Gustav Leaves Hispaniola

While it is still early, I believe it prudent to keep an eye on Gustav as the storm heads back out into open water...and the Gulf of Mexico.




5 Day Cone issued by the NHC
Bloomberg report on Gustav.

For further information on Gustav, visit the National Hurricane Center.

**update** 5.39AM Here is the latest spaghetti models plotted:

NHC FAQ on Hurricane Prediction Models

I will be issuing daily updates as the storm progresses. This storm may end up overshadowing the Republican National Committee GOP Convention in Minnesota next week, and I wonder if the Democrats will try to make political hay out of it at their convention this week. (Of course they will...they are Democrats, and that is what Democrats do best...make hay out other people's disasters for their own political gain!)

**update** I will place links here of some of the various lefties I find salivating over the prospect of death and destruction they can use to advance their political cause.

Biden Refused To Name IRGC Terror Group

Do you remember that Senator Joe Biden REFUSED to call Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps a terrorist organization: "On September 26, 2007, Biden voted “Nay” to Senate Amendment 3017 (S. Amdt. 3017) – a piece of legislation amending S. Amdt. 2011 to H.R. 1585 – “to express the sense of the Senate regarding Iran.”" Will this prove to be a problem for Barack Hussein Obama's campaign? I don't see why it should, Obama "didn’t participate in the vote on S. Amdt. 3017, but spoke out against the amendment, calling it “excessively provocative.”" Birds of a feather ... Thomas Smith, Jr. has the story here.

The history of terrorist, Muslim Brotherhood, and Islamic connections for Obama is nothing new, but is should worry voters. It would seem that Obama would take all steps to distance himself from questionable people and groups, but nope. Dr. Ingrid Mattson, the president of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), an organization created by the radical, Saudi-financed Muslim Students Association, was chosen to represent the Muslim community at the first-ever interfaith prayer service at a Democratic nominating convention.

Commentary

Senator Joe Biden is not as wise on Foreign Policy or the Global War on Terror as Obama would have us believe. Of course, Biden denies that there even is a War on Terror.

I think that the picking of Biden was done in panic by Obama due to the Russian invasion of Georgia. He realized that he needed someone with experience, perceived wisdom, and went with Biden despite all his negatives. I believe he was leaning toward picking Kaine of Virginia before then.

The Democrats' "Soft" Jihadist and Citizen Obama

Her name is Dr. Ingrid Mattson, and here is some background on this woman:

A course taught by Mattson at the Hartford Seminary entitled " The Koran and Its Place in Muslim Life and Society" featured readings from texts by two of the Islamofascist ideology's most revered figures: Syed Abul A'la Mawdudi and Sayyid Qutb. She has publicly credited the former with producing "probably the best work of [Koranic commentary] in English." As Robert Spencer has observed in his invaluable Jihad Watch blog [http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/022342.php], Maududi succinctly described the Islamists' Shariah agenda as follows:

"Islam wishes to destroy all states and governments anywhere on the face of the earth which are opposed to the ideology and program of Islam regardless of the country or the nation which rules it. The purpose of Islam is to set up a state on the basis of its own ideology and program, regardless of which nation assumes the role of the standard bearer of Islam or the rule of which nation is undermined in the process of the establishment of an ideological Islamic State....Islam does not intend to confine this revolution to a single State or a few countries; the aim of Islam is to bring about a universal revolution."

As to Qutb, an amicus brief filed last week by the Center for Security Policy before the 7^th Circuit Court of Appeals noted that his "writings expand on [Maududi's] theme of Jihad against wayward Muslim regimes and the infidel West and the establishment of a hegemonic Shariah-based political order. His work has been credited as a central doctrinal source for al Qaeda's doctrine of Jihad, as well." According to the brief prepared for the Center by two of the West's foremost scholars of Shariah, attorneys David Yerushalmi and Stephen Coughlin (resident expert on the subject for the Joint Chiefs of Staff until he was purged by an ISNA admirer in the office of Deputy Secretary of Defense Gordon England), "Da'wa is used to prepare the battle space for violent Jihad."
