Praying for a safe and productive GOP Convention Week.
July 16 2016 | Lee Martell

The GOP Convention is to be held in Cleveland, Ohio from Monday, July 18th through Thursday July 21st. I'm both hopeful and worried. I am hopeful, because, with all likelihood, Donald Trump will be officially declared as our nominee for the presidency. I am worried, because of the radical groups who oppose us, and will work to deny our right to lawfully assemble. It takes a lot of courage to present yourself to the world and say you can make it better or restore what is good and has been lost. I am thankful for people like Donald Trump and his supporters.

After the San Jose riots, we have learned that in today's America, the police may be ordered to stand fast, and not get involved with those clearly breaking the law. How very surprising, how very disappointing. This is not the only such incident. Once we get the right people leading the country again, we can go to work weeding out such public servants who make personal choices on whether to help you.

In today's Obama influenced America, public institutions have become openly partisan and have suffered no great or lasting consequence. Lois Lerner still laughs scornfully at any and all Tea Party conservatives.

There was a turning point for me, the moment I knew we were living in a different America, one that plays favorites. That was in 2012 when Nakoula Basseley, the film director for "The Innocence of Muslims was led away from his home in the middle of the night, and pushed into a police van. His head was wrapped in gauze as a vain attempt to protect his identity. To this day, that man remains in hiding. So for many reasons, I am eager to get America back on track. I am hoping it starts this November. All we can do is hope and move on with our private lives.

I have peace ... I feel good about it.

I believe prayer, Conservatives, the cops and many bikers are on our side.

Don't be such a snowflake.

It may be best for the enemy to reveal his true self.

Pray we get the strength and the will to crush our enemies to the point they tremble at the ramifications of their foolishness

It’s long past a time for violent response

That is how you get peace

YOU WIN IT!

I’m praying for victory. We know we at war with the forces of evil, and Satan and his minions are being exposed for all good men to fight against. Thank God for that and it sure gives us hope.

God does not give us a spirit of fear, but of love....and a sound mind. Rest easy in HIM :) He NEVER sleeps nor slumbers - but now it’s time I do some of that. gnite

(sorry I don’t know my whole bible verses that well, but I know the main point - God wins, as do we who believe in Jesus, whatever the outcome He works it for good)

THIS IS ONE POSSIBLE SCENARIO, AS LONG AS DONALD TRUMP REALLY DOES PRACTICE FULL FLEDGED CONSERVATISM AS THE NEXT POTUS. IF A PRESIDENT TRUMP ENDS UP BECOMING LESS THAN AN ACTUAL CONSERVATIVE POTUS, THEN DONALD TRUMP’S NAME CAN, ALSO, BE PLACED IN WHAT’S WRITTEN AFTER THE COLON IN LOWER CASE LETTERING. POPULISM ISN’T CONSERVATISM, SO THE U.S., AS A CAPITALIST COUNTRY, MIGHT BECOME DEAD WITH, EITHER, A “PRESIDENT HILLARY CLINTON”, OR A “PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP”. DITTO, U.S. CONSERVATISM. DITTO, THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. WILL A “PRESIDENT TRUMP” REALLY BE A CONSERVATIVE PRESIDENCY, AND FOR HOW LONG?:ALL of U.S. conservatism will die under a Hillary Clinton presidency, and so would the GOP! If enough conservative voters decide to not vote for Donald Trump, in the variety of ways to not vote for Donald Trump, then they will, also, decide to kill themselves, politically!

I really hate all-caps.

Me too. But I took one for the team, and read it anyway.

Not worth it. Trust me.

What a perfect lead into a legitimate conversation and concern.

With inspiration from Knarf’s post; May it rain down bikers upon the foes of freedom...

I have been here in Cleveland since Friday morning. Everything is going smoothly. I think the fact that the Rules Committee peacefully worked out their problems and that we are hearing that the Republican Platform is the most Conservative in history. As far as protestors? I hear there are concrete walls and that they are taking every precaution in the world to keep us safe. Right now, I am not worried.

This afternoon we go to see the movie "HIllary's America," D'Nesh D'Souza's new movie. He will be there taking questions, and then to a big party downtown with the Doobie Brothers and you're Synyrd. That will be the first time I am downtown. I will report from there.

Argh, I wish Jim Robinson would put an edit button after the fact. I meant Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Safe? Not gonna happen. With over 170 ‘paid-for’ protests planned...it’s going to be ugly.

Thanks Hildy. I just awoke and am seeing the posts. I’m feeling good about it. This is just one of those unusual years, where a lot seems to be taking place at once. Sort of like my fuzzy memories of 1968.
