Paul Ryan has been chosen to run with Mitt Romney. Now the choices are clearly defined, and so now the media framing of Election 2012 begins. With less than 3 months to go this is going to be the most biased, nasty, hate-filled disinformation campaign in the history of modern elections:
Russell Simmons goes on the race-based/class warfare attack
Here’s the link to Sarah Palin’s Facebook statement: 10151109537628588
For those of you who don’t use Facebook, here it is:
“Congratulations to Mitt Romney on his choice of Congressman Paul Ryan as his running mate. President Obama has declared that this election is about “two fundamentally different visions” for America. Goodness, he’s got that right. Our country cannot afford four more years of Barack Obama’s fundamentally flawed vision. We must now look to this new team, the Romney/Ryan ticket, to provide an alternate vision of an America that is fiscally responsible, strong, and prosperous – an America that understands and is proud of her exceptional place in the world and will respect those who fight to secure that exceptionalism, which includes keeping our promises to our veterans.

If you are like me, you may not know exactly what the “Paul Ryan Plan” is. These videos may help to clear it up!

Mailboxes along the roads and old barns set back in fields overgrown with weeds often served as landmarks in rural Montana where I grew up. These landmarks told us where we were, and how far we had to go. Sometimes they signaled “home” and the end of the road. At other times, barely visible through swirling snow, they told us we had miles to go.
When I started compiling these memories, I realized they were like those mailboxes and old barns from my memory–identifying places in the road over all our years. Here’s one for today…about cattle.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Branding irons and barbed wire fences frequently framed range wars in the 1800’s. They were sometimes the cause and sometimes the consequence of bitter battles between competing ranchers; between those who owned cattle and those who owned sheep; and
they are surely the stuff of some bloody memories. For me, though, they frame good memories–born too late as I was to remember the losses and deaths in the cattle herds of the 1930’s during the depression and the dry years.
Lessons like responsibility, caring for really big animals, paying attention to details, looking for the one that gets lost or hurt are part of what spills over the life of a child on a farm or ranch that has cattle as part of its operation. (more…)

I was enjoying the Olympics until this idiot Leo Manzano stepped up to win a Silver Medal in the 1,500 meter race, and put his multi-cultural progressive, and selfish, self on full display.
Manzano came to the United States illegally at the age of 4-years-old. Brought by his parents who illegally crossed the border 23 years ago. Eventually he became an American citizen and represented the US on the Olympic team. However, after winning a medal he pranced around with the US flag and the flag of Mexico, proclaiming he won for both America and Mexico.
Sorry Leo, Americans are not hyphenated. If you wanted to race for Mexico, then go there train, live and race. This antithetical American exhibition was a big mistake. Don’t think so? Well, just watch the backlash. Watch what happens now as the potential sponsors, or those Madison Avenue types, that have sought his representation will only come from one nation, Mexico. This guy has just opened up a pandora’s box…….
(Read the Full Story at CNN) […] After Manzano finished his race and secured his medal, he did what athletes typically do at the Olympics. He held up his country’s flag — the Stars and Stripes.
The 27-year-old was born in Mexico, but the United States is his country now. His father migrated here illegally from the city of Dolores Hidalgo. Manzano was brought here when he was 4. Like most immigrants, they came in search of greater opportunity. And they found it — for themselves, and their children.
That little boy eventually became a U.S. citizen. And then, after a lot of hard work and thousands of hours of training, he got the chance to represent his country and compete in the Olympics. And, to put the cherry on the sundae, he actually wins a silver medal. The last time an American won a medal of any kind in the 1500 meters was 44 years ago.
You can’t help but be proud of Manzano and the country that allowed him the opportunity to fulfill his potential.
So why did Manzano carry two flags with him on his victory lap? As the world looked on, he held up both the U.S. flag and the Mexican flag. Not a good look. And not a good idea. (more…)
hee… hee…. “join me in welcoming the next President of the United States, Paul Ryan”….
At 9am today (Sat) Mitt Romney will be introducing his pick for Vice-President. As announced last night it will be Representative Paul Ryan from Wisconsin.
If you are watching the press conference and announcement weigh in on your perspective and we’ll stick this on the page for other thoughts and insights throughout the day.
