Republican Hot Air Threatens Planet!!

Recent scientific studies dealing with the age of dinosaurs pose serious issues to the United States of America. Huge plant eating dinosaurs produced enough greenhouse gas by breaking wind to generate enormous quantities of methane. Scientists believe “microbes living in Sauropod dinosaurs could have produced enough methane to have an important effect on Mesozoic climate. An estimated 472 million tons of hot air were generated by dinosaurs.

We are concerned since the United States has millions of Republicans and members of the Tea Party. If you think dinosaurs produced a lot of hot air, just imagine the enormous quantities produced by Republicans and Tea Party folk? Imagine the daily out put of Newt Gingrich alone! We believe there is need for new legislation that will limit hot air comments by any Republican seeking office.

PROTECT THE PLANET, LIMIT REPUBLICAN HOT AIR EMISSION!!!

Remember Fall Of 2001?

I recall vividly the fall of 2001 when our gallant president informed the nation that he was sending troops into battle in Afghanistan since we “had to fight them there rather than here.” Fox News charged that anyone who opposed the war was simply a friend of terrorism. That was then, and, alas, now is now. Latest polls reveal that 66% of Americans oppose the war in Afghanistan. About 48% do agree the presence of US troops helps Afghanistan to be stable while 36% say it leads to more instability.

Americans had a love affair with war, with a president who promised to end terrorism and bring democracy to the world. I recall how FOX News smeared the names of an American senator who had lost both arms and legs in Vietnam by charging him with being disloyal. It would be wonderful to show those videos at a time when those  who are against the war might be reminded how they were for the war. Ah, but that was a long, long time ago!

Democracy In Iraq

Nine long, long years ago, the American people were informed by their beloved leader, George Bush, and the dynamic duo of Dick Cheney and Don Rumsfeld that we simply had to invade Iraq, not only to destroy the WMD which threatened our existence, but to bring the benefits of democracy to the people of Iraq. We sent in troops, we killed Saddam Hussein, we ended his dictatorship and in the process we forced 500,000 of  Iraq’s 800,000 Christians to flee for their lives. Instead of Saddam, they now had the “democratic” government of Shiite leader, Nouri al-Maliki.

Maliki has instituted a reign of terror against the former dominant Sunni community. After allowing a Sunni to become vice prime minister, he then charged Tariq al-Hashemi with creating death squads whose goal was to gain control of the government. Hashemi fled the nation and now will be tried in absentia. He has decided not to attend this trial. “I have a great lack of confidendce and mistrust about the standards of justice.”

I wonder if George Bush during those hours chopping wood ever ponders about the “democracy” he brought to Iraq??

Wise Russia Offers Advice To US

It is rather  unfortunate that former President George Bush and his two clowns,Cheney/Rumsfeld, never contacted the Russian government for advice on fighting a war in Afghanistan. The Russians had over eight years fighting and losing  in that far away land. Eventually, they just packed up and left. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has decided to offer some souond words of wisdom to US and NATO forces. After all, this is the land which fought in Afghanistan and left with tail between legs.

“As long as Afghanistan is not able to secure by itself the security in the country,” said the Russian sage, “the artificial timelines of withdrawal are not correct and should not be set.” In reality, Russia wants a stable Afghanistan because it fears Muslim militants simply will move on to Muslim areas of Russia. “Please do not leave” is the Russian wail.

Taliban Strike With Force

Once upon a time, a long, long time ago,  the administration of President George Bush decided to invade Afghanistan, destroy the Taliban government and then do –something. The something was not very clear to Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld, and this failure to have a plan to create a viable Afghanistan remains the issue of today. Instead of rebuilding the nation, Bush diverted forces and energy to destory WMD that never existed. Barack Obama inherited this mess and despite  serious efforts it remains a mess.

Over the weekend, Taliban forces launched a series of  attacks in Kabul as well as in provincial cities. They used heavy weapons, suicide  bombers and fought in the heart of the capital. A spokesperson for the Taliban said the attacks were planned for two months and demonstrated “we are strong and can attack anywhere we want.” Unfortunately, this is a true  statement of reality.

The future is unknown. Apparently, Afghan forces responded to the attacks quite well. Who knows, perhaps they can handle the Taliban.

Fight For Nation, Get Ill

The underlying belief of Republicans is  that businessmen can be trusted to do a superior job than any government organization. Of course, the US armed forces during WWII did NOT allow private business to function in war zones. Thus bridges were built in a day, the Alaska Highway completed within a year, and airfields constructed  under enemy fire. Former President Bush and his cronies, Rumsfeld and Cheney, were certain “government employees” lacked the skills and competence of private enterprise. The Iraq was the first war contracted out to business.

Many of those who served in Iraq are now suing companies like KBR for allowing poisonous materials to be used and thus endangered their lives. Soldiers sickened at a water treatment facility run by KBR have just discovered that a deadly toxin was used in massive quantities and the result has been serious illness. Eight million pounds of sodium dichromate were used leading to breathing problems and cancer.

KBR denied this usage in 2003, but now acknowledge  the truth of what occurred. A military spokesperson described KBR behavior as “deliberate, calculated concealment.” I am certain Ron Paul will soon blame “the government” for this behavior.

Mitt, Newt, and Rick On Afghanistan

Rick,Mitt, and Newt condemn the foreign policy of President Barack Obama in dealing with the Afghanistan war. In fact, Newt even wonders why this president got us involved in the war. From his viewpoint,  the Afghanistan war is “risking the lives of young men and women in a  mission that may not be doable.” As far as Mitt and Rick are concerned, it is all the fault of President Obama. They are shocked that he set a date to end the presence of American troops in Afghanistan.

Wait a second. As I recall, it was George Bush who sent US troops into Afghanistan. Perhaps my memory is playing tricks but I recall how Newt and Rick and Mitt hailed the  great leadership of President George Bush who launched wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. I simply do not recall a single comment from Mitt about”failed leadership” about George Bush in Afghanistan which he now hurls at Barack Obama.

PSTD Or Simply Not OK?

The tragedy of Sergeant Robert Bales has no simple conclusion. He committed a terrible crime for which one can not “explain away.” Yes, he had four deployments, yes, he was wounded, yes, he witnessed and experienced horrible sights, but in the end, there is no excuse for killing innocent women and children. During the coming years, writers, psychologists, theologians, and countless others will offer explanations for these brutal murders, but, what Bales did was NOT unusual for those who lived in the 20th century. Check out any book on the Holocaust.

After the end of WWII, trials were held to hold those accountable for the incredible horrors of the war. Unfortunately, the Iraq War and the Afghanistan War, have not led to any such trials forBates must stand trial, but what about George Bush, Dick Cheney or Don Rumsfeld?

Republicans Represent Lost Human Race

Most intelligent life forms are rather confused as to who are these people who term themselves, “Republicans.” They believe the Christian President Barack Obama is a Muslim who was born in Africa. They cheered war in 2003 and now blame Democrats for the war and wonder why Barack Obama got us into these conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. They believe in fiscal responsibility which led them to double the National  Debt from $5 Trillion to $11 Trillion. This blog has been able to uncover the reason for this bizarre behavior and thinking.

Chinese scientists have uncovered in a cave in China evidence of the existence of a   group of humans who were neither Cro-Magnons nor Neanderthal. It is now clear Republicans are descended from Red Deer Cave People. They look like humans, they speak like humans, and they breed like humans, but their mental thinking is definitely Red Deer Cave. Logic simply is beyond their abilities when confronted with situations. They retreat into fantasy.

After all, who but a Red Deer Cave person would sing like Mitt Romney??

Let’s Indict Ron Paul!

I recently encountered on my Facebook comments from Ron Paul supporters who want to impeach President Barack Obama for sending aid to Libyan rebels. Ironically, some Ron Paul supporters have the mistaken view that Thomas Jefferson was not for a strong national government and cite him as someone they respect. I hate to tell Ron Paul or his supporters but the first president in our history who sent men to war without a declaration of war was Thomas Jefferson. It gets worse. He sent naval and marine detachments to crush the Barbary pirates and guess where US soldiers landed–LIBYA!

Presidents Theodore Roosevelt, Wilson, FDR, Truman, Eisenhower, JFK, Johnson, Nixon, Reagan, Bush, Clinton and Bush sent troops into combat without a declaration of war. Black skinned Barack Obama sends aid to Libya, no Americans die, white skinned George Bush sends 5,000 to their deaths and 35,000 wounded. So, who do Ron  Paul supporters want to indict? BLACK SKINNED OBAMA!!

Ron Paul admits his newsletter printed anti-Jewish articles, his son, Senator Rand Paul says he would have voted against the Civil Rights act of 1965 which gave equal rights to women and black Americans.
