We Give Up?

Posted on February 23, 2013 by | Leave a comment

Republican Senator Richard Shelby finally threw in the towel and announced that he would vote for Chuck Hagel as the new Secretary of Defense. “He’s probably as good as we’re going to get.” Even as he spoke, former Republican candidate for  president, Bob Dole, who was a war hero during WWII made clear his support for his former colleague by referring to him as “an exceptional leader at an important time.” It is fascinating how  Republicans attack Chuck  Hagel who fought for his country while never making a single negative remark about former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. Of course, all Rummy did was to have 5,000 men and women get killed.

Lindsay Graham can not cease talking about Benghazi while never asking about the invasion of Iraq. Then again, Republicans initiated that war. Funny, Lindsay has never asked what George Bush was doing when the invasion began. Of course, we know Bush on 9/11 was reading stories to children in a nursery.

Marco Rubio Rubs Immigrants Wrong Way

Posted on February 18, 2013 by | Leave a comment

There is a new sheriff in town who is touting a strong message to any criminal disturbing peace in his town. Marco Rubio, son of immigrants from Cuba, wants the American people to know that he will ensure our borders from illegal immigrants because this Republican senator is one mean dude. Of course, under the first four years of the Bush presidency, Republican members in Congress did  not criticize the leader of their party for failing to handle immigrants. Of course, under the Obama four years TWICE AS MANY ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS WERE RETURNED TO MEXICO, but problems do not become problems unless a Democrat is president.

Marco Rubio wants the president to know that any illegal immigrant proposal he submits is “dead on arrival.”  He wants Obama to know that his plan is “half baked and seriously flawed.” Marco does not want those who entered our fair land illegally to become citizens. OK, they came illegally, so what does this nation do with ELEVE MILLION ILLEGAL PEOPLE?

Waiting to hear from Marco.

So Long, Been Good To Know You

Posted on February 15, 2013 by | Leave a comment

The Texas Nationalist Movement(TNM) is composed of red blooded Christian folk who inhabit the state which has oil, rich  people, and lots of anger toward the res of this nation. Around 200 stood  on the steps of the capitol building in Austin shouting “Libery or Death.” In their view being able to shout hatred toward the American government is still further proof that freedom of speech has disappeared from their lives. They have shouted, they have used Internet, they have petitioned for the righ to secede and live among those of the Christian faith in some part of Texas -or maybe the entire state– where they no longer will be pestered by those liberal communists and Jews and blacks  who now control THEIR NATION!

Daniel Miller, head of the TNM) says his people want OUT from the mess they currently inhabit. They want an end to taxes, to government health care, to Social Security, to Medicare and blacks holding important government positions in their white America. Miller wants to become governor of Texas, secede and have a government led by real Americans!

So long, its been good to know you all…

Graham Wants To Know

Posted on February 14, 2013 by | Leave a comment

Senator Lindsay Graham is upset. Senator Graham wants to know what was happening in the American government on September 11, 2012 when four Americans were killed in Libya. “Weknow nothing about what the president did on the night of September 11 during a time of national crisis and the American people need to know what their commander in chief did, if anything, durin the attack.” Apparently, Senator Graham is not interested in what leaders of the American government did during the night of September 11, 2001 when 2,900 Americans died.

I assume President Obama each night focuses on what is happening at the 240 embassies throughout the world. Is he interested if a Marine guard is having sex with a local woman? Is he interested if the ambassador is drinking alcohol during a time of national  crisis?

Then again, we demand to know what Lindsay Graham was doing on the night of September 11, 2012!

Barack Bush Cheney Obama(BBCO)

Posted on February 11, 2013 by | Leave a comment

Barack Obama during his quest for the presidency made critical remarks concerning abuse of power by then President Bush. Obama decried torture, he was upset at individuals being punished for speaking the truth. That was then, now is now. The National Defense Authorization Act gives power to the president of this nation to hold people in jail-forever, it sends to jail those who  uncover violation of human rights and it has gained for Obama words of support and praise from the likes of Fox News. Oh, it is all justified on ground that America must protect itself against “terrorists.”

Last year in the United States of America “terrorists” killed exactly NO ONE. However, 30,000 people were killed by those with guns! Is there a law around which would hold indefinitely anyone with a gun who threatens another American?  A handful of “terrorists” are in jail,  but there are 2.2 MILLION others in jail who are NOT terrorists!

Let’s place in  jail anyone who uses a weapon to threaten another person. THAT is the best way to handle “terrorists” in America!

Victory In Sight?

Posted on February 11, 2013 by | Leave a comment

Over a decade ago American forces, in conjunction with Afghan allies, swept through Afghanistan and routed the Taliban. In 2001 it appeared one could see the end of Taliban influence and power in Afghanistan. Fast forward to 2013 and General John Allen who is leaving command of US forces in the country was confident the Taliban would be routed. “The insurgency will be defeated over time by legitimate and well trained Afghan forces.” He went on to assure one and all that “Afghan forces defending Afghan people, (are) enabling the government of this country to serve its citizens.”

We already defeated the Taliban, we turned over government to Afghan leaders and they proceeded to create a world in which Afghan people preferred the Taliban to its own government. Sorry, General Allen, the problem is NOT the Taliban, it is in Kabul where a group of corrupt leaders exploit and use their own people. I am  certain of one thing, if the Taliban gain victory they will not capture Afghan leaders who will be sitting in their luxurious homes in England of the US.

Does Brennan Have A Drone In His Life?

Posted on February 7, 2013 by | Leave a comment

President Barack Obama has nominated John Brennan for the post of head of our CIA. Mr. Brennan has played a key role in use of drone planes and thus has aroused concern among many members of Congress. Ironically, this is one topic which has brought together Conservatives and Liberals, those who support Obama and those who hate Obama, and particularly those who believe the United States of America represents democratic and moral values. Obama, former teacher of Constitutional law, has wrapped his brain around the idea that a president has the  constitutional right to kill anyone, anywhere-provided that he has reflected on the murder and concluded killing this person is OK.

Regardless of paper work presented by the president in the end, authorizing murder in a far off land rests in the hands of the president of the United States. There is overwhelming evidence that while hundreds of bad guys have been killed so have hundreds  of innocent humans.

President Obama has opened the proverbial Pandora’s Box. Does American society wish A president to possess the power of life and death? If today, OK Over There, is tomorrow, OK, Over Here??

Veteran Suicides

Posted on February 5, 2013 by | Leave a comment

Most Americans have by now forgotten how the United States originally went to war and for what reasons in Afghanistan and Iraq. President George Bush warned the American  people that Saddam Hussein possessed deadly weapons of mass destruction and he had been responsible for the 9/11 deaths. Of course, 17 of the suicide bombers came from Saudi Arabia and the other two came from Egypt. NO   Weapons of Mass Destruction were ever found. Is it surprising that thousands of American soldiers who fought in a war based on lies in a land that had nothing to do with 9/11 left the service emotionally torn? As of this date, veterans constitute 22.2 percent of all suicides in America.

In other words, every day about 18-22 veterans commits suicide. VA officials revealed they believe the number of veteran suicides has been under reported and the figures might be higher.

We wonder why no American official has ever been held to be somewhat responsible for these deaths?

Send Them To Right Torture Chamber

Posted on February 5, 2013 by | Leave a comment

During the past decade the American government insists that its personnel did not engage in any form of torture. Oh, maybe they sent a man’s head into the water, but they were simply trying to wash his face and he objected  to become clean. The Open Society Justice Initiative (OSJI) released a report which proves that hundreds of men were sent to at  least 54 countries in order to secure the benefit of being interrogated by people who did not mind being a bit rough with those refusing to admit crimes they often had not committed. The report notes that high ranking British officials “bear responsibility for authorizing human rights violations.”

OK, so there was secret detention, OK, so they beat a few people, OK, so they water boarded some folk, but no harm was  meant. How else could the US government prove that it did not torture without allowing others to torture?

Ironically, Iran handed over 15 suspects to Kabul for questioning in 2001. Gee, I thought the Iranians were the terrorists!
