Mia Love gives impassioned speech at RNC
Mia Love, mayor of Saratoga Springs, Utah and GOP candidate for U.S. Congress, outperformed expectations in her speech at the Republican National Convention on Tuesday, blasting President Obama for his “failed” policies and explaining why he isn’t the right candidate to protect the “American dream.”
She is hoping to become the first black GOP congresswoman, Fox News reports. Love is also a first-generation Haitian-American and a Mormon.
“Let em tell you about the America I know,” Love said. “My parents immigrated to this country with $10 in their pockets and the hope that the America they heard about really did exist.”
She explained that she was ingrained with a sense of personal responsibility at an early age by her parents, who taught her that great things can be achieved with hard work in America. That was the American dream, they told her.
“The America I now is grounded in the determination found in patriots and pioneers,” she continued. “It’s found in the Olympic athletes and every child who looks at the impossible and says, ‘I can do that.’ That’s the America I know.”

She’s young, beautiful, intelligent, and, oh yeah, she happens to be an African American. She is one of the faces that represent my party, my side, and I couldn’t be prouder or happier or more filled with hope.
Go, Mia, go!

I’d like to add in case I’m misunderstood that her ethnicity/race, which I deliberately mentioned last, is least important. All the conservatives I know, myself included, put the priority on shared American values, not on skin color or emotions.

She is wrong in blasting President Obama for his “failed” policies. These policies have been very successful in bringing America down financially, socially and every other way as intended. Mia Love will be the antidote to this venomous administration. She understands individuals made this nation, and she will be a fine representative for Utah.

Great speech! *Almost* wished I still lived in Utah so I could vote for her.

@Anonymous — Why? Because she’s intelligent enough to see socialism as the enemy of everyone and to see conservatism as the best possible course to freedom, liberty, and opportunity?

Sick Liberal Puppies: Part One
Some years ago, I inadvertently cornered a huge raccoon gorging on dog food in the back of my garage. Surprised and angered by my interruption of its late night meal, the raccoon reacted by baring its teeth and snarling menacingly–much like liberals literally and metaphorically act when they smell defeat.
A liberal low-life hacked into Mia Love’s Wikipedia page and posted scurrilous comments about the African-American mayor of Saratoga Springs, Utah, GOP candidate for Congress, and Tuesday’s brilliant speaker at the RNC convention.
Calling the conservative Ms. Love a “token,” an “Aunt Tom,” a “House Nigger” and a “dirty, worthless whore” constituted a common instance of racist, leftist misogyny and wasn’t unusual for our liberal friends.
Yahoo News’ Washington bureau chief David Chalian once again betrayed the liberal taint of the media when he was overheard on a hot mic slandering the presumptive Republican nominee for president and his wife.
The churlish Chalian remarked that Mitt and Ann Romney were “not concerned at all” and indeed were “happy to have a party [the convention] with black people drowning” because of tropical storm Isaac. As disgusting as it was, his racist slur was not unusual for a liberal.
That Yahoo fired Chalian doesn’t mitigate the unavoidable truth that America’s left-wingers are largely composed of mean-spirited, misanthropic sickos who, confronted with an adverse reality–in this case the possibility that Barack Hussein Obama will be banished to Chicago next January–get even sicker.
They make snarling animals look good by comparison.
Adversity offers the opportunity to rise above failure and move on to better things or to rail at life’s unfairness, wallow in recriminations, and hurl epithets and slanders.
Not known for possessing optimistic mindsets, liberals are vulnerable to railing and wallowing. Rather than benefit from adversity as a learning experience, they use it as an excuse to lash out at actual and imagined enemies–just like cornered raccoons.
I don’t refer to libs such as the overachieving, formerly pretty, perky Katie Couric who recently voiced her fury with CBS bigwigs for “projecting their own issues onto me” since Couric says she felt “liberated” after being forced out of her anchor job on CBS’ “Evening News.”
Nor am I referring to NBC’s “Today” hostess Ann Curry who claimed she was canned by network executives because they didn’t like her fashion sense and certainly not because of her lackluster, hosting shortcomings.
While Couric’s and Curry’s complaints are attributable to plain, old mid-life bitchiness, as the Romney-Obama presidential race develops into a real horse race in which the president is looking more and more like an also-ran, liberals are showing clear signs of desperation by baring their fangs and exhibiting their notoriously heinous character.
Long before the Wikipedia abuse of Mia Love and David Chalian’s abuse of the Romneys, liberals have been reflecting their election angst by abandoning whatever minimal pretense to civility and civil discourse they ever had.
For example, last winter Samuel L. Jackson revealed his true racist self in an expletive-laden, N-word-filled interview in Ebony. . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=27770.)

The Dumbos are getting very nervous. These awesome, beautiful, intelligent people are invading their territory and they don’t like it one bit. So it’s time to bring out the way-over-the-top Nasties! Incredible what they are allowed to say and do, but let us do and say the same thing – naughty, off with our heads (hey, that may be true down this rocky road!).
