The Right Lane


I appreciate that your time is valuable and for that reason I try to keep segments concise. These messages build on the foundation that asks all of us to set aside our differences and unite behind a message of constitutionally limited government, personal responsibility, and fiscal sanity. Please Scroll through the headings below and read those that strike you as important or informative.



Romney’s Acceptance Speech Issues Stinging Rebuke of Obama
As he accepted the Republican nomination for president, Mitt Romney issued a stinging rebuke of President Barack Obama’s 3 1/2 years in office, arguing that Obama’s promise of hope and change in 2008 “gave way to disappointment and division,” and now is the time to fix an economy stuck in the doldrums. “What is needed in our country today is not complicated or profound. It doesn’t take a special government commission to tell us what America needs. What America needs is jobs,” Romney told the Republican National Convention on Thursday night. “Lots of jobs.” It was arguably the most important speech Romney has made, with the fortunes of the Michigan native’s second presidential run in the balance. His supporters hoped — and would no doubt claim — that he hit a home run. What was clear was that the former Massachusetts governor pulled no punches in describing Obama as he reached out to undecided voters and women — who have tended to side with his opponent, polls show — with a message that he is best suited to right a nation struggling to move past the last recession.

Jeb Bush to Obama: Stop Blaming My Brother
The sibling of former President George W. Bush, before launching into an education-focused address, said he had to get something “off my chest.” Though the 43rd president was not in attendance this week in Tampa, Jeb Bush represented the family and offered a brief-but-pointed rebuttal to what has been recurring criticism by Democrats of his brother’s term. “Mr. President – It is time to stop blaming your predecessor for your failed economic policies,” he said. “You were dealt a tough hand, but your policies have not worked.” Bush said that four years in, “a real leader would accept responsibility for his actions, and you have not done it.”

Proud To Be An American - The American Rebirth
Unlike our President and his allies on the left, I don't want to make America look more like the rest of the world. Just when did it become a bad thing to live in the most free and prosperous nation in the history of mankind? We have nothing to be ashamed of. We have nothing to apologize for. I am proud to be an American and am sick and tired of politicians who somehow think that because we are prosperous, we should feel bad about who we are. If they don't like it, they should leave and run for office in Venezuela or some other communist country.

America has been a beacon of hope, helping spread liberty throughout the world and setting an example of what a free society can achieve. Because America prospered, so did much of the world.
About 225 years ago, a group of Patriots came together who believed that individuals had certain unalienable rights. They believed that We the People could decide how to live our lives better than a central government. They also knew that the nation they envisioned would not be won without a hard fight.  Men like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Thomas Stone, Josiah Bartlett and Richard Stockton risked their lives and their fortunes on the ideal that the right of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is not granted by a central government but by our Creator.

November 6, 2012 will be the day that a majority of voters decide the America we will become. Will it be the America built on the blood and sacrifice of so many great patriots who fought to create and since have defended the principles of liberty and freedom or will it be the America of big government control, crony capitalism and burying our children and grandchildren under a mountain of debt?

Like our Founding Fathers, we are going to have to fight and sacrifice if we are going to protect the Republic they gave us.

Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said something the other day in her speech at the RNC Convention that speaks to the real danger we face: "There is no country on earth including China that can do more harm to America than we can do to ourselves unless will are willing to do the hard work to protect our founding ideals".

Michael Moore: 'Get used to saying President Romney'
Hell must have frozen over last night! TAMPA, Fla. – What a difference four years make. Early signs emerging from Democrats during the Republican National Convention indicate the White House and influential activists are in a panic, fearing that Gov. Mitt Romney is increasingly likely to emerge victorious Nov. 6.  Moore is concerned with Obama’s inability to raise money 2008-style.
“Mitt Romney is going to raise more money than Barack Obama,” Moore told the Huffington Post. “That should guarantee his victory. I think people should start to practice the words ‘President Romney.’
“To assume the other side are just a bunch of ignoramuses who are supported by people who believe that Adam and Eve rode on dinosaurs 6,000 years ago is to completely misjudge the opposition,” Moore said.

Fed Chairman Makes Case, in Strong Terms, for New Action
Mr. Bernanke said that the Fed’s efforts over the last several years had helped to hasten economic recovery, that there was a clear need for additional action and that the likely benefits of new steps to stimulate growth outweighed the potential costs. “It is important to achieve further progress, particularly in the labor market,” Mr. Bernanke said. “Taking due account of the uncertainties and limits of its policy tools, the Federal Reserve will provide additional policy accommodation as needed to promote a stronger economic recovery and sustained improvement in labor market conditions in a context of price stability.”  “Policies from Congress, not more short-term stimulus from the Fed, are the ingredients necessary for restoring growth in the American economy,” Senator Bob Corker, Republican of Tennessee, said in a statement after Mr. Bernanke’s speech.  Then, Mr. Bernanke devoted most of his remarks to establishing the need for action, largely taking for granted that the Fed had the power to improve the economy. On Friday, it was the need for action that Mr. Bernanke took for granted. The question now is how much more the Fed can do.

How 'The Shy Republican' Could Be Masking a Landslide By Adam Shaw

While it is not possible now to get into the many reasons certain people will vote Democrat in November, I propose that all polls, not just left-leaning polls, may be being strongly misled by their data, and Romney/Ryan may actually have a huge lead not seen in polls. It is my contention that this is due to a mix of the infamous Bradley effect and what is known in Britain as "the Shy Tory Factor," with both coming together to exaggerate just how popular Obama is in America.  The Bradley effect is a much-debated polling distortion that is easy to demonstrate but difficult to prove.  The idea that when a black or minority candidate is on the ticket against a white candidate, certain voters may lie under pressure from a pollster, worried about being seen as a racist for choosing the white candidate over the minority, sounds highly plausible.  The consequence, should the Bradley effect be in play, would be a skewed poll indicating that the minority candidate is in better political shape than his or her opponent. Therefore, there is no reason why we cannot expect at least a similar Bradley effect this year.  In fact, it could possibly be even stronger -- after all, the liberal smear that those who oppose Obama are racist is one that really took off since Obama took office, specifically with the rise of the Tea Party.  This could serve only to magnify the Bradley effect, as some white voters may feel ashamed of being seen as sympathetic to a "racist" organization.  The other note worth mentioning is that, in the Shy Tory Factor, the only person who knew of its existence before the election was the leader, whose internal polling is usually more accurate.  Could this be why Obama's team seems to have gone into panic in recent weeks?  Do they know something the polling companies don't?

Media Strikes Back After Dirty Harry Dares To Mock Obama Newsflash: Obama can't take a joke. But we already knew that.
Since Obama won the presidency, comedy has pretty much gone straight to hell as our Entertainment Overlords morphed into pathetic lapdogs to The State; begging for scraps of attention and affection from Obama, and in the process becoming stale, lazy, dull, predictable, painfully unfunny, and like a needy poodle -- more than a little annoying. Who would've ever thought that one of the men who would display enough backbone and "edge" to finally take it to Obama with wicked mockery on about 30 million live television screens would be 82 year-old Clint Eastwood? Oh, and the empty chair. Other than an empty suit, there is no sharper metaphor. 82 years-old, and Dirty Harry is still pissing all the right people off.  My hero.

"But what do we mean by the American Revolution? Do we mean the American war? The Revolution was effected before the war commenced. The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people; a change in their religious sentiments, of their duties and obligations... This radical change in the principles, opinions, sentiments, and affections of the people was the real American Revolution." --John Adams, letter to H. Niles, 1818

Obama: I Didn’t Do Good Enough Job Selling Americans On Stimulus Plan ...and you should have listened more closely!
The president says he also wants to do a better job of explaining to the public how his policies will help the economy grow. Obama claims he didn’t do a good enough job selling Americans on the stimulus plan and the auto company bailout because he was so focused on acting to fix the economy. “[W]e were in the midst of a once-in-a-lifetime crisis, so we had to just do stuff fast. And sometimes it wasn’t popular,” Obama told Time. “And we didn’t have the luxury of six months to explain exactly what we were doing with the Recovery Act, which was basically a jobs act and making-sure-middle-class-families-didn’t-fall-into-poverty act.”

Obama Movie Stunning Hollywood
After another high-money earning weekend for the movie “2016: Obama’s America,” author and filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza promises to expand to about 1,600 theaters by next weekend. Uncomplimentary movie reviews by liberal columnists telling moviegoers to stay away from the film have not deterred the film’s success so far.  Following its expansion to 1,091 screens, the movie “stunned Hollywood” by taking in an estimated $6.3 million dollars last weekend, according to its publicity firm. The take for the weekend translates to the highest per-screen average of any major release and makes it the highest grossing new film of the weekend.

Wave: GOP Voters at All Time High
According to new research released today by Rasmussen, more voters identify themselves as Republican than ever in the last 8 years. More importantly, by a 4 point margin, more voters identify as GOP than Democrat. This is the largest spread between the parties ever. Worse for Democrats, the number of voters who identify with their party is also approaching an historic low.
