Navy SEALs ad to be shown at Tuesday's Republican convention: We Bow To Nobody

Weasel Zippers   

The ad, titled “Bow to Nobody,” depicts Navy SEALs in combat situations; it then proclaims that they fight so that America will not have to bow to anybody.

" “The ad itself accurately portrays where this President is,” said Zinke. “It accurately portrays his core belief that America should not lead. This president is shaping America to be one of the followers, to relinquish our role as a world leader. I didn’t fight 23 years as a Navy SEAL to watch America bow to anybody.” "

Tribute to a fallen comrade: New Zealand soldiers perform a Haka to say farewell

Blackfive   "As a huge fan of the All Blacks, this one got to me...if you don't know what the Haka
(traditional Maori war dance) is, go here to watch the All Blacks do one before a match."

I'd love a sendoff like this one, but it would have to be earned the hard way.TD

‘Kill Mitt Romney’ Facebook Page Was Online for 17 Days

Washington Free Beacon   "A Facebook page entitled “Kill Mitt Romney” garnered close to 30 likes and remained online for 17 days before Facebook removed the page Monday.

Watch Out New Orleans….. Isaac Bearing Down. How do the Democrats feel about it all?

The Last Refuge;  (NOAA ) AT 400 PM CDT…2100 UTC…THE CENTER OF TROPICAL STORM ISAAC WAS LOCATED BY AN AIR FORCE RESERVE RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT NEAR
LATITUDE 26.4 NORTH…LONGITUDE 86.2 WEST. ISAAC IS MOVING TOWARD
THE NORTHWEST NEAR 12 MPH…19 KM/H…AND THIS GENERAL MOTION IS
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TODAY WITH A GRADUAL DECREASE IN FORWARD
SPEED. ON THE FORECAST TRACK…

But Isaac has slowed down and that is bad!

Actor Samuel L. Jackson says it's 'unfair' that Isaac missed the GOP convention  "Twitter has been the site of some seriously deranged Hollywood lefties musings on Isaac and their wish that it would have killed Republicans, or disrupted the convention." Including Ellen Barkin.

Boortz on Isaac Versus RNC   "Now I’m no political strategist, so I have no clue how you handle this.  Canceling the convention seems extreme, but even if the GOP did that (which it won’t), it won’t stop the ObamaMedia from coming up with a narrative which ultimately paints the GOP as the bad guys." Also here.

Obama campaigns during Isaac   "The storm comes at an opportune time and it may give Mr. Obama a powerful backdrop to show his leadership while Republicans are gathered in Tampa to formally nominate Mitt Romney as their presidential nominee.
"Mr. Obama said at “my direction” the Federal Emergency..."yada, yada, yada

Brokaw, Scarborough Enable Chris Matthews' Racialist Attack on RNC Chair

Matthews

Big Journalism   "What is noteworthy, however, is that as Matthews launches his rabid and irresponsible racialist smear against RNC Chair Reince Priebus, both Tom Brokaw and Joe Scarborough just sit there like cowards as Matthews does the impossible: allows his lunacy of lies to give the Peacock Network yet another black eye."  
....

"Brokaw is supposed to be the Lion of NBC, its Anchor Emeritus and wizened conscience. If you watch the video, though, Brokaw acts like a bystander even though he's seated right next to Matthews during this disgraceful attack. Well, Brokaw doesn't do nothing the entire time. Near the end of the clip, he piles on the racialist "guilt by association" attack with his own list of ad hominems.   

"Impossibly, Scarborough's even worse. This go-along-to-get-an-MSNBC-show Republican patronizes Matthews during the first half of the exchange. When Matthews really lets the spittle fly during the second half,  Scarborough proves he doesn’t even have the sand to exert control over…his own show."

Priebus On Matthews Attack: If More Than 10 People Watch His Show I'd Care

MSNBC anchor Chris Matthews — not Mitt Romney — is the one playing the race card, according to Newt Gingrich.   "“You sit here and chuckle about it as if it’s not a game you’re playing,” Matthews said. “You’ve got that diabolic smile of yours, and you know you think you’re winning here, but everybody out there who’s black or white know exactly the game that’s being played here.”

“No, here’s the game. You have the worst president,” Gingrich said.
