Alaska Gov. Palin to be Named as McCain Running Mate
A senior campaign official in the John McCain campaign confirmed to FOX News on Friday that the presumptive Republican presidential nominee will name Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate.
Palin emerged earlier in the day as the hot name in the VP sweepstakes after reports circulated that two short-listers — Mitt Romney and Tim Pawlenty — were out of the running.
Adding fuel to the Palin candidacy was a report that a charter aircraft from Anchorage owned by a McCain supporter had arrived at a small airport outside Dayton, Ohio, where McCain has scheduled a noon ET rally to announce his choice.
FOX News reports the jet flew to Flagstaff, Ariz., on Thursday before heading for and landing in Middletown, Ohio. The airport manager
McCain campaign staff prepping the Dayton event told FOX News that all indications are that Palin would be the VP choice.
I might be able to get excited about this young lady! She just might give McCain’s campaign the energy it REALLY needs!
What happened to the noon time announcement? Can’t anyone stick with a plan anymore. Jeeeez! 
O/T: Why does Fox News have a picture of Mitt Romney attached to this story instead of one of Gov. Palin?

A Brilliant Petition!
Gawfer is a genius! Why? Because of this petition to the Republican National Committee!
After this year’s primary (2008), it became apparent that GOP voters are no longer in control of who represents the party. Discouragement sets in when a candidate who doesn’t do well in a seemingly insignificant state drop out before another state’s primary occurs.
The purpose of this petition is to encourage the RNC to create a one day National Presidential primary that will allow every registered Republican the opportunity to vote for the GOP candidate that best represents their beliefs before the candidate chooses to drop out of the race.
Not only were those of us on the right slapped down, the Democrats didn’t really get to choose their candidate either. Perhaps someone on that side should start a similar petition?
If you believe that the process has been taken away from “WE, the People”, go sign the petition. Let’s send THEM a message! Because if you get right down to it, has become an “us against them”, hasn’t it.

NOT The Chosen One!
Although, to look at the brand spankin’ new ‘logo’ he’s come up with, or one of his lackeys, or whoever….. you’d never know it!
He is a very dangerous man, who will work hard to destroy what little we have left of our Republic!

Rewriting History
This is actually a rather serious subject, but when you see this video, if you DON’T laugh at the pathetic state of affairs in Venezuelan journalism, there’s something wrong.
WARNING: Put the coffee cup down first!
Go read the whole post at Freedom’s Cost, please (and Digg if ya don’t mind while you’re at it). I just had to swipe the video though.

Sell Your Tyson Stock!
The news that Tyson Foods is going to replace a national holiday, Labor Day, with a Muslim holiday, Eid al-Fitr, came out on Friday, the 1st. Several blogs have posted about this outrage, and I linked to one in my usual Saturday afternoon post.
Other blogs with posts concerning this slap:
Texas Fred’s
A Soldier’s Perspective
Monkey in the Middle
Faultine USA
Dhimmi Watch
Maggie’s Notebook
Michelle Malkin
That’s just to name a few. There are many more.
I had an extremely busy weekend, so was not able to actually post about this….this….outrage!
Union leaders say implementing the holiday was important for the nearly 700 Muslims, many of them Somalis, who work at the plant that employs a total of 1,200 people.
Excuse me? Are there no local citizens who would work at the plant? 700? Isn’t that 700 jobs that could be done by hard working Americans? If they are Somali, they obviously aren’t Americans. Kowtowing to the Muslims by the union? Interesting. Since unions have been working to destroy this country from within for quite a while. Guess they are going to do quite well now, aren’t they.
I can’t add to anything that the others have said about this issue. I will not buy any products from Tyson. Now, or in the future. I’d suggest if you have stock in Tyson, sell it and buy some that actually employs Americans, and isn’t sucking up to the Religion of Pieces.

Are These The People You Want Teaching Your Children?
The NEA Spells Out Its Radical Policies
The nation’s largest teachers union, the National Education Association, attracted 9,000 delegates to its annual convention in Washington, D.C. over the Fourth of July weekend. Delegates sported buttons with provocative slogans such as “Gay marriage causes Global Warming only because we are so hot!”, “Hate is not a family value,” “The ‘Christian Right’ is neither,” and “Gay Rights are civil rights.”
The delegates passed dozens of hard-hitting resolutions that now become the NEA’s official policy. The resolutions authorize NEA members and employees to lobby for those goals in the halls of Congress and state capitols.
NEA resolutions cover the waterfront of all sorts of political issues that have nothing to do with improving education for schoolchildren, such as supporting statehood for the District of Columbia, a “single-payer health care plan” (i.e., government-run), gun control, ratification of the International Criminal Court Treaty, and taking steps “to change activities that contribute to global climate change.”
The NEA fiercely opposes any competition for public schools, such as vouchers, tuition tax credits, parental option plans, or public support of any kind to non-public schools. The NEA strongly opposes designating English as our official language even though such a designation is supported by more than 80 percent of Americans.
Read the rest here.
Teachers no longer seem to be about education. They are all about how they can screw over the taxpayer in the name of socialism. I am disgusted with the state of public education. Schools are failing all over the country, and what is their solution? Throw money at it! Well, money isn’t going to solve the problem. Return to the basics. Take your politics out of the classroom. And stop filling their head with flat out lies.
Yes, I know there are still teachers out there that went into education because they wanted to share knowledge with the kids. But how are they suppose to do that if their union fights against REAL education at every step?
Abolish the NEA…..NOW!

REAL Hope!
This is a true story!
A son asked his father, ‘Dad, will you take part in a marathon with me?’ The father who, despite having a heart condition, says ‘Yes’.
They went on to complete the marathon together. Father and son went on to join other marathons, the father always saying ‘Yes’ to his son’s request of going through the race together.
One day, the son asked his father, ‘Dad, let’s join the Ironman together.’ To which, his father said ‘Yes’ too.
For those who don’t know, Ironman is the toughest triathlon ever.
The race encompasses three endurance events of a 2.4 mile (3.86 kilometer) ocean swim, followed by a 112 mile (180.2 kilometer) bike ride, and ending with a 26.2 mile (42.195 kilometer) marathon along the coast of the Big Island.
Father and son went on to complete the race together.
