Have Thought Will Travel. Ruminate on ideas, philosophy, culture, society, books, music, politics, religion, movies...and see where it takes us.
May each of you have the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute works that will leave the world a little better for your having been here. -- Ronald Reagan

Republican Convention: Vice Presidential Candidate Paul Ryan
He speaks the truth, and inspires. The Re-elect Obama Press, and other Leftists\Dems are in full throated roar denying everything said here. Just saw a great line, something to the effect that a lie to Leftists is a truth they don't like. True.

Republican Convention: Condoleezza Rice
"Americans have believed that you might not be able to
control
your circumstances but you can control your response to your
circumstances."

"When the world looks at us today, they see an American
government that cannot live within its means. They see an
American government that continues to borrow money, that
will
mortgage the future of generations to come. The world knows
that when a nation loses control of its finances, it
eventually
loses control of its destiny."
"My fellow Americans, ours has never been a narrative of
grievance and entitlement.
We have never believed that I am
doing poorly because you are doing well. We have never been
jealous of one another and never envious of each others'
successes.
No, no, ours has been a belief in opportunity. And it has
been a constant struggle, long and hard, up and down, to try
to
extend the benefits of the American dream to all. But that
American ideal is indeed in danger today. There is no country,
no, not even a rising China that can do more harm to us
than we
can do to ourselves if we do not do the hard work before us
here
at home."

Republican Convention: Former Rep. Artur Davis, ex-Democrat and Obama Operative
Former Rep. Artur Davis, one of Barack Obama’s former
campaign co-chairs has become a Republican, and tells the reasons why here. Of course he's been viciously attacked by Dems, and especially by the Racist Hate group, the Congressional Black Caucus. Part of their tolerance, diversity, civility and open mindedness - not.
The Re-elect Obama Media has gone over the top, screaming how racist the Republican Party is. I had to work last night, but from my watching vids and reading, it seems whenever a Black or Hispanic was giving a speech, they cut away to a commercial or did their talking heads thing. Need to support the notion they've propogandized the Republicans are a white racist hate group by only showing whites. Have you noticed that except for the anti-Semite Racist Al Sharpton, all their commentators and alleged reporters are white? Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow, Ed Schultz, Chuck Todd, all the anchors and the rest? Also notice, when looking at pictures of the violent "occupiers" they're all white? Bunch of racists, not allowing for diversity!
Republican Convention~Former Sen. Rick Santorum: "I Shook the Hand of the American Dream"
Oh my! "I thank God that America still has one party that reaches
out their hands in love to lift up all of God’s children – born and unborn –
and says that each of us has dignity and all of us have the right to live the
American Dream."

"Under President Obama, the dream of freedom and opportunity
has become a nightmare of dependency with almost half of America
receiving some government benefit.
It is no surprise fewer and fewer Americans are achieving
their dreams and more and more parents are concerned their children won’t
realize theirs.
President Obama spent four years and borrowed five trillion
dollars, trying to convince you that he could make things better for you —- to
put your trust in him and the government to take care of every problem.
The result — massive debt, anemic growth and millions more
unemployed. The President’s plan didn’t work for America ,
because that’s not how America
works.
In America
we believe in freedom and the responsibility that comes with it to work hard to
make that dream of reaching our God-given potential come true.
We believe it because it still works.
Even today."

"Graduate from high school, work hard, and get married before
you have children and the chance you will ever be in poverty is just two
percent.
Yet if you don’t do these three things you’re 38 times more
likely to end up in poverty!
We understand many Americans don’t succeed because the
family that should be there to guide them, and serve as the first rung on the
ladder of success, isn’t there or is badly broken.
The fact is that marriage is disappearing in places where
government dependency is highest. Most single mothers do heroic work and an
amazing job raising their children, but if America is going to succeed, we
must stop the assault on marriage and the family."

I want to talk to you tonight not about politics and not
about party.
And while there are many important issues we'll hear discussed in this convention and throughout this campaign, tonight I want to talk to you from my heart about our hearts.
I want to talk not about what divides us, but what holds us together as an American family. I want to talk to you tonight about that one great thing that unites us, that one thing that brings us our greatest joy when times are good, and the deepest solace in our dark hours.
Tonight I want to talk to you about love.

Mitt doesn't like to talk about how he has helped others
because he sees it as a privilege, not a political talking point. And
we're no different than the millions of Americans who quietly help their
neighbors, their churches and their communities. They don't do it so that
others will think more of them.
They do it because there IS no greater joy.
"Give and it shall be given unto you."
They do it because there IS no greater joy.
"Give and it shall be given unto you."

Gov. Chris Christie Republican Convention Keynote Address
Draws good distinction between principles of free minds and limited gov't and top down central control the Democrats desire and work for. A masterpiece speech.
