Over the weekend my wife and I attended the 2009 Republican Party of Virginia convention held in Richmond. The convention’s purpose was to determine the state-wide Republican candidates for Virginia Attorney General, Lieutenant Governor and the state GOP Party chairmanship.
There were numerous speakers, including Sean Hannity, however, one speech stood out in particular and was one of the greatest speeches I’ve ever heard. This was not a speech for Virginia residents, but for all freedom-loving Americans who believe in personal responsibility and individual freedom.
This speech was delivered by a Virginia Tech Corp Cadet named Adnan Barqawi. He immigrated to the United States only 4 years ago from Kuwait and is an amazing individual. He gives his life story and is incredibly inspiring, he is the only speaker who had the entire crowd on their feet giving him numerous standing ovations. His speech was heartfelt.
Watch in full, you won’t be disappointed. Sorry for the video quality, it is the only video I have found this far:
Part 1:
Part 2:
Such an amazing story, I believe we will hear great things from him for years to come.
The entire convention was an overwhelming success. Bob McDonnell will be Virginia’s next governor, he is an excellent conservative candidate with impeccable credentials. The Democrats will be hard pressed to get any traction against him.
Ken Cuccinelli won the nomination for Attorney General and Bill Bolling will seek reelection as Virginia’s Lieutenant Governor.
For those interested, here is video of Ken Cuccinelli’s speech:

Will post more speech videos when I find them.

This Cadets speech was extremely uplifting. He truly is living the American dream. I was delighted to hear that he has excepted a teaching job in the Mississippi, Lord knows they need good teachers, not to mention teachers who will not fill the children heads with liberal ideology.

“GM announces the new Obamamobile…”
June 1st, 2009 | Author: Todd Lohenry
“In a special news conference today, Government Motors announced its new concept car. The new GM (Government Motors) proudly introduces the 2010 Obamamobile!This car runs on hot air and broken promises. It has three wheels that speed the vehicle through tight left turns. It comes complete with two Teleprompters programmed to help the occupants talk their way out of any violations. The transparent canopy reveals the plastic smiles still on the faces of all the “happy” Democrat owners…”

“If al-Qaeda, the Taliban and the rest of the Looney Tunes brigade want to kick America to death, they had better move in quickly and grab a piece of the action before Barack Obama finishes the job himself. Never in the history of the United States has a president worked so actively against the interests of his own people – not even Jimmy Carter.”
“Obama’s problem is that he does not know who the enemy is. To him, the enemy does not squat in caves in Waziristan, clutching automatic weapons and reciting the more militant verses from the Koran: instead, it sits around at tea parties in Kentucky quoting from the US Constitution. Obama is not at war with terrorists, but with his Republican fellow citizens. He has never abandoned the campaign trail.”
“That is why he opened Pandora’s Box by publishing the Justice Department’s legal opinions on waterboarding and other hardline interrogation techniques. He cynically subordinated the national interest to his partisan desire to embarrass the Republicans. Then he had to rush to Langley , Virginia to try to reassure a demoralised CIA that had just discovered the President of the United States was an even more formidable foe than al-Qaeda.”
“Don’t be discouraged by what’s happened the last few weeks,” he told intelligence officers. Is he kidding? Thanks to him, al-Qaeda knows the private interrogation techniques available to the US intelligence agencies and can train its operatives to withstand them – or would do so, if they had not already been outlawed.”
“So, next time a senior al-Qaeda hood is captured, all the CIA can do is ask him nicely if he would care to reveal when a major population centre is due to be hit by a terror spectacular, or which American city is about to be irradiated by a dirty bomb. Your view of this situation will be dictated by one simple criterion: whether or not you watched the people jumping from the twin towers…”
“President Pantywaist’s recent world tour, cosying up to all the bad guys, excited the ambitions of America ’s enemies. Here, they realised, is a sucker they can really take to the cleaners.”

I would not call this the greatest speech I’ve ever heard. It honestly sounds like many things I have heard over and over again laced with humor to intrigue the attention of those listening.
I’m not saying that the speech is bad or I disagree with it’s content, I’m just saying that it’s nothing new or special.
I was a bit disgusted with him disowning where he is from and simply saying he is “An American” and talking about how this country is the best country on the planet. Honestly I find that a bit disturbing. Not everyone want to be an American and I am sure many other countries are fantastic places to live. Disowning his home nation is completely horrible in my eyes. Honor your homeland and enjoy the land in which you reside. Love all countries as you would love all people you come across.
I agree with small government as long as the land functions appropriately without larger government.
The fact that he is preaching which governmental ideal republican/democrat is better than the other is worthless. Anyone who is willing to say that 1 group of people are better than another is ignorant. Whether that divide be race, color, creed, religion, sex, political affiliation, ect, it is all negative.
This guy honestly sounds like someone who has been prepped a great deal by a group of people with a purpose rather than a man standing on a stage and expression his feelings/ideas.
He makes statements about how long Americans have had freedom, yet he doesn’t say Americans, he says “we” as if he has been here a lot longer than 4 years.
I have nothing against republicans, but this guy is just not impressive to me.

Is called PROUD. Plus, with your logic he could not take the oath. Read sometime the oath migrants must swear to when becoming American citizens. Here, I will save you the effort which I doubt you would spend looking up:
“I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation ”
I wonder if you would take such a oath.

Correct me if I am wrong. What does ” race, color, creed, religion, sex” have to do with his speech. Leave that OUT and keep part you got right_”political affiliation”
You have to add stuff ? Not meant. Get real.

Of course “no proof”, just your opinion. Liberal believed Obama’s promises. Taxes goes up only on those making more than $250,000. There is a guy well schooled in what to say. No social health care in world works. Although Obama not telling, his will.
If I had to pick between this guy and Obama as being schooled in what to says, it’s Obama. Not the good American kid..
…..

He is an American. From day one. Don’t be a hyp·o·crite

“I have nothing against republicans, but this guy is just not impressive to me”
Drop your first 5 words in this quote. Let’s get real here. On this site same evidence on Obama must be repeated over and over. Liberals can’t disprove, but they continue the same old disproved obamaite lies, so who but another liberal would not expect you to be impressed by this young man.

Bill, LoL, again, I am not a contestant on your game-show.
