NOBODY ASKED ME BUT

We offer observations on the human condition from a 21 year old mind trapped in an 81 year old body.

NOBODY ASKED ME BUT

Today is Saturday, I wonder who is ahead in Republican race for president.

I am a kind friend, alas, many are not.

There are those “with ideas,” the problem is all too often we are better off with those without ideas.

Parents tower over children until that magic moment when shorty is the tall one.

I wonder if there are seasons in Heaven.

I am truly impressed by those who wear shorts in winter.

I am the solitary man in life.

When reading, I never hold my hand on a page.

It is important in life to respect the privacy of others.

I never in real life encounter people like those blond haired women on Fox News who carry a perennial smile on their faces.

I would go to hell before eating a McDonald’s hamburger.

I demand of others high moral and ethical standards, that is why I have few friends.

I once stood on a mountain top in the Rockies. So near to God was I.

Iran And Israel-Race To Disaster?

Posted on February 8, 2012 by Fred Stopsky| Leave a comment

There are moments when one wonders whether Israel or Iran will be the first to explode the Middle East into violence that will make any sort of peace impossible for decades to come.Iran’s clerics are filled with the spirit of  Mohamed, or at least their interpretation of what he would say or do, while Israel leaders just know that God is on their side. The Obama administration imposed even stricter economic sanctions on Iran in a last ditch effort to half the path toward nuclear weapons.  These restrictions were also intended to persaude the Israel government of PM Benjamin Netanyahu to avoid military strikes against Iran.

Israel leaders insist they must strike now or it will be too late to avoid preventing Iran from building a nuclear weapon. The European Union announced it would ban import of oil  from Iran. US economic sanctions  are creating havoc to the Iranian economy. Iranian businessmen are facing economic ruin, Iranian money is less and less valuable, and shortages grow each day.

One is left with the conclusion that if clerics get their bomb, will they also get a collapsed economy? Israel may get their desire for military attacks on Iran and receive in return thousands of missiles aimed at Israeli cities. There are times in life when one gets what he desired and is less successful for it. This is one of those times!

There Is No GayTime In Uganda

Posted on February 8, 2012 by Fred Stopsky| Leave a comment

Christianity entered Africa during the nineteenth century and it brought into the lives of Africans some basic beliefs of missionaries, particulary in attitudes toward sexuality. Missionaries imposed strict rules on how to dress and how t5o conduct  sexual relations. During the past two decades, fundamentalist ministers from America have spread right wing anti-gay hysteria to many areas of East Africa.

Uganda has been swept for years by an anti-gay hysteria which borders on virulent hatred toward anyone who is a homosexual. A lawmaker has once again introduced to the Uganda parliament a law which has previously been condemned by the US government. A bill reintroduced by David Bahati, lacked the provision that homosexual acts could result in imposition of the death penalty. But, it would still make homosexual acts illegal.

Alas, we have the fruits of Missionaries of Hate in modern day Uganda. Why don’t American missionaries remain at home and simply join the Tea Party, sip some tea and cease drinking from the  well of hate?

A Monster Seeking Honor!

Posted on February 8, 2012 by Fred Stopsky| Leave a comment

Anders Behring Breivik is a young man who believes God or someone has annointed him with power to spread the word of God or truth throughout Europe.  His first step in the path to honor was to cold bloodedly murder 77 people in Norway, most of him being youths. In an Oslo court, the well dressed young man smirked and laughed as though expecting to be acclaimed by one and all. Breivik insists the murders were simply a strike against “traitors” and an attempt to prevent an “Islamic colonization of Norway.”

Breivik asked the judge to release him and demanded that a military honor be awarded a person who killed 77 innocent people. He provided the court a 1,500 page compedium of nonsense which somehow blames anti-religion Karl Marx with being an ally of Muslims!

He is simply a sad young man living in a sad inner world in which reality never lights the darkness.

Syria In Search Of A Goldstone Report?

Posted on February 8, 2012 by Fred Stopsky| Leave a comment

The Israel invasion of Gaza led to the UN authorizing an investigation regarding what happened. Given recent  events in Syria it would only be appropriate if the UN sanctioned another Goldstone report regarding the murder of thousands by President Assad. Israel  frequently complains the UN is quick to issue condemnation of their actions, but rarely conducts any studies pertaining to violations of international law by Arab nations.  All too often a UN body containing nations like Sudan which regularly engage in genocide, are involved in developing a report on human rights violation by Israel.

It is time for UN reports on Egypt and Syria which make clear to the world there is one  standard in evaluating  violations of international law rather than all too often reports which rightfully condemn Israel, but ignore Arab nations. How about asking Richard Goldstone to study Egyptian and Syrian action against their own people??

We offer samples of headlines that appeared in the world press along with our comments.

Australia, Sydney Morning Herald:  ”Naughty List”

Is is not nice to have a naughty list.

South Africa, Argus:  ”Time To Look For New Social Vices”

Just check with the Republican party, they know all about vice, in fact, they practice them.

USA, NY Post:  ”Pay Plan Ridiculous”

I assume you refer to paying Congressmen for their work.

Netherlands, Dutch News:  ”Commotion About Headscarf”

We get upset at covering heads, but not upset at uncovering bodies.

France, Connexion:  ”Slimmer Students Get Higher Grades”

I have a hunch professors prefer slim girls.

Saudi Arabia, Saudi  Gazette:  ”What Is A Junk Car Worth”

The more interesting question is what is a Junk Congress worth?

Personally, I prefer living in Paris.

Go East Young Jew!

Posted on February 6, 2012 by Fred Stopsky| Leave a comment

Throughout American history, people of European descent headed west into “open land” that was inhabited by animals and a few stray folks called Indians. Americans insisted it was their “manifest destiny” to occupy any land they believed was not being used for useful purposes. OK, so they had to kill or place on reservations those who apparently did not grasp that God was on the other side.

In Israel, those who have God on their side head east to the “barren lands” of the West Bank which has a lot of empty space and a few people who claim to own the land. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon visited Israel and made clear, “all Israeli settlements are contrary to international law.” OK, so they go against international law, but does Mr. moon have any statement from God if kicking people off their land is against what He desires?

Heck, if you have God on your side it is OK to start a war.

Protesters, Please Be Polite!

Posted on February 6, 2012 by Fred Stopsky| Leave a comment

Thousands of people have demonstrated in the streets if Moscow concerning their demand for a democratic society-Now! Boris Titov, a leader of the business community is rather upset. “The most important point for citizen activism should not lead to political instability which would be a negative scenario. Dialogue is needed as the basis of reason and intelligence and not of emotion and political ambition.”

Let me get this straight. Prime Minister Vladimir Putin who controls the government, the media, and the electoral process is determined to be elected as president. If anyone is guilty of “political ambition,” it certainly is the ex-KGB agent.

Titov does not wish protesters to rush “into political liberalization.” He wants them to “think everything through and allow conditions to mature.” I get it, when Putin completes his latest twelve year run at running the country, MAYBE, he will allow someone else to be the president. Just have patience.

Turkey Headed To Authoritarian Rule

Posted on February 6, 2012 by Fred Stopsky| Leave a comment

Prime Minister Recep Erdogan increasingly seeks to instill  spirit which is more Muslim than Turkish. Kemal Kilicdaroglu, head of an important opposition party sharply condemned the drift toward making religion the center of his nation. “At work is an insidious attack on the rule of law and order in Turkey’s ruling party.” He pointed out that hundreds of journalists, publishers, military officers, members of the academic community and politicians have been either arrested or charged with crimes.

The Turkish economy is proceeding towards creating a modern society. This requires working with people who are not Muslim. It also means if Turkey desires membership in the European Union it must abandon this assault on democratic forces.

For MB, That Was Then, Now Is Now!

Posted on February 6, 2012 by Fred Stopsky| Leave a comment

Leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood spent almost half a century on the outside gazing through the window loaded with goods like being in power and living off the fat of the land, and now that the Brotherhood is inside the restaurant it only makes sense to enjoy the fruits of power. Mohamed El-Beltagui, argues since the Muslim Brotherhood “paved the way for a revolution, ” they have a right to celebrate controlling Parliament and all the goodies that go along with running a government.

As thousands protested the massacre at the soccer match and blamed the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces(SCAF) for its failure in preventing bloodshed, dozens of MB volunteers blocked the way of those who actually began the revolution because they wanted their people to make decisions, not some mob of protesters.

Alas, it was just a  few months ago the Muslim Brotherhood was linking arms with protesters and demanding democracy. Today, they demand obedience. Will there eventually be protesters in Tahrir Square protesting against the MB? Time will tell.
