What a night it was last night. The last five years (don't forget 2008) have been tough as enough Americans embraced Barack Obama hoping for a change. Instead, they got exactly what Obama had promised if they'd been listening, and the rest of us who already knew what was coming have suffered a never ending nightmare. But last night was a night of stunning speeches, the best of which, hands down, was Ann Romney.
Mrs. Romney spoke to the heart of the American people as she spoke of love. If you missed it, here's your chance to hear what the world can't stop talking about. Of her husband she said, "Mitt sees helping others as a privilege, not a political talking point." But there was so much more Mrs. Romney had to say:
Congressman Arturo Davis
But that wasn't all. We have a new Republican in the party, and his name is Arturo Davis, and he too gave a speech that reached out to disenchanted Democrats and Independents. Congressman Davis said, "Tonight you nominated the most experienced executive to seek the presidency in the last 30 years."
Mayor Mia Love
Mayor Mia Love is running for Utah's 4th Congressional District and also spoke to the nation last night. She said,"The American Dream isn't just my story. It isn't just your story. It's our story. It's a story...of human struggle, standing up and striving for more. Our story has been told for over 200 years…with small steps and giant leaps; from a woman on a bus...to a man with a dream; from the bravery of the greatest generation, to the innovators and entrepreneurs of today. This is our story. This is our America. This is the America we know … because WE BUILT IT."
Nikki Haley
And South Carolina's governor was very impressive as she spoke. Governor Haley said, "If you have to show ID to purchase Sudafed in America. If you have to show ID to fly on an airplane in America. Then you should have to show ID to protect the most fundamental, critical right of an American citizen, the right to vote." Nikki Haley
Chris Christie
And New Jersey's Chris Christie was the keynote speaker. He is my husband's favorite and he did not disappoint. He said, "We've never been victims of destiny, we've always been masters of our own. I'll not be part of the generation that failed that test, and neither will you." Chris Christie
All in all, that bill of goods Barack Obama was selling four years ago has been shown for what it is, the rotting corpse of communism. Last night we saw the rising stars and leaders of the Republican Party and they are men and women of strength, courage, and the "know how" to lead America back in the direction she was always intended to go; a superpower that is the last great hope of the earth.
We cannot fail in this. If freedom flees America, there is nowhere else to go. We are the last stand, that last light in the dark night, we are America.
Hand built in the USA. Stunning product and lifetime support.

So yesterday was the day! The Beautiful Bodacious Babbling Blogging Babes met for the first time at Golden Corral. I remembered a lot of thi...
I pledge allegiance ...
The American Flag
"When I see the American flag rippling in the breeze against the majesty of the Rocky Mountains, a thrill of patriotism runs through my soul. How I love America and all that she offers to her citizens and the world. We must protect her against all who would destroy her as an ensign to the world of freedom, liberty, and justice. May God bless America and the efforts of her citizens to restore her. May she always remain the last best hope of the earth." Candace E. Salima
The U.S. Constitution
Forever may we be free ...
This Nation Shall Not Fail
"Men may fail in this country, earthquakes may come, seas may heave beyond their bounds, there may be great drought, disaster, and hardship, but this nation, founded on principles laid down by men whom God raised up, will never fail. This is the cradle of humanity, where life on this earth began in the Garden of Eden. This is the place of the new Jerusalem. This is the place that the Lord said is favored above all other nations in all the world. This is the place where the Savior will come to His temple. This is the favored land in all the world. Yes, I repeat, men may fail, but this nation won't fail. I have faith in America; you and I must have faith in America, if we understand the teachings of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We are living in a day when we must pay heed to these challenges.
"I plead with you not to preach pessimism. Preach that this is the greatest country in all the world. This is the favored land. This is the land of our forefathers. It is the nation that will stand despite whatever trials or crises it may yet have to pass through. (Ye Are the Light of the World, Harold B. Lee, p350-51)
Soft Tyranny in America
"Do not let soft tyranny destroy your desire to excel. Yes, it's a little harder these days, but it is up to you. American history is filled with men and women who refused to settle for the status quo, and no matter how hard it was, they reached for the exceptionalism that exists in each of us. Now it is our turn. We have over two centuries of triumphs and failures, but the triumphs eclipsed the failures. That, my friends, is how life rolls." Candace Salima
