More Information On Artur Davis (Already Available For TBD Viewers)

For those of you who don’t know about Artur Davis, he was a Democrat member of the Congressional Black Caucus, and a Representative from the great state of Alabama. He lost his bid to become the Democrat Governor of Alabama, and this year, having moved from Alabama to Virginia, has also moved from Democrat to Republican. Like Ronald Reagan, Texas Governor Rick Perry, and many Democrat politicians before him, he declared he hadn’t left the Democrat Party but rather the Democrat Party left him.

And Artur Davis, the black man who was once tagged as a great up-and-coming power broker in the Democrat Party, who seconded Baraka Hussein Obama’s nomination for President and introduced him to the Democrat Convention in 2008, absolutely rocked the Republican Convention in 2012. Absolutely killed it.

 

Remember 2009 to 2011: lesson learned. 2012: mistake corrected. Yowza! Baraka Hussein Obama: merely a man I once knew. And the angels rejoiced!

Now, there are many Socialists, such as Perry Hood, the 77 year old Socialist from Lewes, Delaware, who cynically declared that Artur Davis only switched parties to stand a better chance to get elected in the future out of very Conservative Alabama. The fact Artur Davis moved to northern Virginia aside, there was a possibility that such dishonest and cynical Socialists had a point. So I decided to do a bit more research. And that research involved examining information found right here at Truth Before Dishonor.

How did Artur Davis vote on ObamaCare? Especially since Artur Davis loudly and derisively declared that the Democrats refused to add a single Republican option to the monstrosity and the monstrosity was passed without a single Republican vote? And since Artur Davis noted that 50 percent of Americans are Republican? (More accurately, it’s about a 34/34 split with 32 percent being too wishy-washy and uncaring about the government that is wrecking their lives and the lives of their children.)

Well, Truth Before Dishonor has had that information for a very long time now. It’s in the ObamaCare Roll Call page. That’s right, a whole page devoted to the ObamaCare Roll Call. Artur Davis’ votes are recorded here.

How did Artur Davis vote on that Socialist wet dream that refused any Republican input and didn’t get a single Republican vote? He voted NO and NO again. He voted with the Republicans and against the Socialist Democrats both times. So, did Artur Davis switch parties out of self-serving expediency like the septa-genarian Socialist from Lewes, Delaware proclaimed? Or did Artur Davis look at what the Democrat Party had become, then look at what the Republican Party stands for and decide that he is, after all, a Republican? You decide for yourselves. As for me, I have already decided.

Welcome home, Artur Davis!

Truth Before Dishonor Hits Another Milestone

Those of you who use wordpress know about the admin bar at the top of the page, and the info-blurb within the admin bar. Today, I saw a symbol I hadn’t seen before (that I can recall): a chalice. Knowing the chalice is a universal symbol for recognition of accomplishments, I wondered why TBD received a chalice. And the answer impressed me.

Truth Before Dishonor received its 50th follower!

That means every article published on TBD automatically goes to 50 people, whether they stop by or not.

For you TBD authors who are concerned that your work is going unnoticed, your work is not having an impact (that would most definitely include me), take note. Fifty people value TBD highly enough to want to be notified every time an article is published here. TBD is definitely having an impact.

If 5 articles are published on a single day, 250 notices are sent out to people who have declared they want notified. While my own goal of 2 articles per day, every day, has not been met in some time (1 article per week would be nice, lazy bones), TBD remains a site people want to read. The number of visits has dropped noticeably from its high of just over 200 a few months ago to a little over 140, but that’s because I’ve been too lazy of late to publish. And the various other authors are, for the most part, busy with their own sites and have noticed my lack of publishing, causing them to decrease their own publishing here.

But know this: People are actively interested in what Truth Before Dishonor has to say about current events. So, buck up. Be of good cheer. When you publish here, people take note. Can the same be said at that Gap Building site? I think not.
