One Businessman’s Response To Obama’s “You Didn’t Build That” Speech

The businessman is Ray Gaster of Gaster Lumber & Hardware in Savannah Georgia. Here’s a picture of the sign outside his store.

I say good for Mr. Gaster. I just hoped he’s well armed. The Obama zombies hate it when anyone bad mouths their messiah. And of course the Obama fellating news media will do their best to dig up any kind of dirt they can find on Mr. Gaster. He can also expect an IRS audit.

Now if only Mitt Romney would take off his kid gloves and go after Obama like this heroic businessman has done he might just win this election.

Obama Campaign Sues To Restrict Military Votes

When states want to purge their voting rolls of non-citizens, or when they push to request identification for voting, the Democrats immediately yell “disenfranchisement” and racism” And of course Eric Holder launches lawsuits right and left.

But apparently, it’s not disenfranchisement when Democrats try to restrict military voting, like they recently did in Ohio.

On July 17th, the Obama for America Campaign, the Democratic National Committee and the Ohio Democratic Party filed suit in OH to strike down part of that state’s law governing voting by members of the military. Their suit said that part of the law is “arbitrary” with “no discernible rational basis.”

Currently, Ohio allows the public to vote early in-person up until the Friday before the election. Members of the military are given three extra days to do so. While the Democrats may see this as “arbitrary” and having “no discernible rational basis,” I think it is entirely reasonable given the demands on servicemen and women’s time and their obligations to their sworn duty.

The National Defense Committee reports:
[f]or each of the last three years, the Department of Defense’s Federal Voting Assistance Program has reported to the President and the Congress that the number one reason for military voter disenfranchisement is inadequate time to successfully vote.

Of course Obama wants to restrict military voting. The military is one group of government employees that is usually conservative (unlike most public school teachers). That’s why Democrats/liberals are hostile to them. They don’t want America to be a super power.

As for Obama and Eric Holder, with all their lawsuits and executive orders, they’re opening up the America’s floodgates in order to bring in a new voting base who they know will always vote Democrat.

Mitt Romney’s So Called “Gaffe” in Israel

The fakestinians and their supporters in our left wing news media are all shocked and outraged that Mitt Romney suggested that Israel’s culture is superior to that of her domestic 5th column Arab illegal alien squatter population. Here’s what Governor Romney said at a fundraising event in Jerusalem.

In the latest, Romney told about 40 donors at a fundraising event in Jerusalem why he thought Israel’s economy is much stronger than that in territories controlled by the Palestinian Authority. Noting that Israel enjoys the same natural resources – or lack of them – as its neighbors, he said there must be another reason that Israel stood out.

“If you could learn anything from the economic history of the world, it’s this: Culture makes all the difference,” he said, citing the work of historian David Landes, the author of the book “The Wealth and Poverty of Nations.”

“As I come here and I look out over this city and consider the accomplishments of the people of this nation, I recognize the power of at least culture and a few other things,” Romney added. “One, I recognize the hand of providence in selecting this place.”

Of course Governor Romney is right. After all, what do the fakestinians do with all the international aid that’s thrown their way? It’s mostly hoarded by their leaders. And to put it bluntly, their main export is suicide bombers.

On another note, I just came across this bit of news via Lucianne.com about a so-called palestinian woman who had her throat slit in pubic, in broad daylight after seeking a divorce from her abusive husband. For that matter, their men (who routinely use their women has human shields) pretty much have a license to kill any time they believe their “honor” to be threatened.

Anyway, this just proves the truth of Mitt Romney’s statement.
