Lord May Resist Life For Kony!

Posted on May 14, 2012 by | Leave a comment

Joseph Kony is   one of those interesting  figures who reside, all too often, on the continent of Africa. He is  one of those men who claims to represent “the people”either because of fighting against colonialism or because he was called to God by God in order to make money off the lives of people. Kony is the ultimate thug who has murdered, mutilated, tortured and raped thousands of women and forced children to kill their parents.

He goes by the name of Lord’s Resistance Army and his goals are somewhat ambiguous unless one believes God seeks to have humans rape, murder and mutilate. An ambush set up by Uganda troops in the Central African Republic caught number four honcho in the LRA, Caesar Acellam. Naturally, the captured man was unaware as to what the LRA does  for a living.

Will they catch Joseph Kony? Who knows, I guess only God knows for certain.

Libya Redeux

Posted on May 14, 2012 by | Leave a comment

The campaign to drive Muammar Gaddafi from power required attacks on his military forces as well as destroying military facilities. NATO forces carried out 9,600 strikes upon 5,900 targets which eventually allowed rebel forces to defeat the Gaddafi army. These bombings were made against many urban targets which raised the likelihood that innocent civilians might die. The Human Rights Watch estimates at least 72 innocent people died. There are now demands from Libyans for punishment of NATO pilots who carried out these raids.

War is hell. Carrying out 9,600 missions which result in 72 civilian deaths is a miracle, not a sign of savage behavior. Gaddafi placed many of his military facilities within urban areas which made it impossible to wipe them out without some deaths to civilians. Gaddafi is gone. Libya is in chaos as the victors fight over spoils of war. The only criminals from the rebellion are among those who now run the nation–for their own benefit and power!

Taliban Say Talley HO!

Posted on May 14, 2012 by | Leave a comment

The ever confusing minds of Taliban leaders once again emerged to express belief they are simply peaceful folk in search of stability in Afghanistan. The Taliban regards itself as supporters of peace and calm in the  country against warlike US and NATO forces. Agha Jan Motasin, of the Taliban Council, outlined the problem in his nation and among his followers. There are those who believe foreigners(Americans, that is) “want to solve the problem” and there are peace loving Talibans who want to end fighting.

“I can tell you though, that the majority of the Taliban and the Taliban leadership want a broad based government for all Afghan people and an Islamic system like other Islamic countries.” And the way to achieve that goal is: (a) release captured Taliban soldiers, (b) take the names of Talibans off list of terrorists, and (c) accept the Taliban as a political party.”

Sounds fairly achievable. Of course, what is meant by “Islamic law?” There is a world of difference between Turkey and Saudi Arabia.

NOBODY ASKED ME BUT

Posted on May 13, 2012 by | Leave a comment

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

NOBODY ASKED ME BUT

The unknown is an opportunity, never turn down exploring it.

Sincerity in the cause of hate is rather insincere.

Athletes hug and kiss one another, friends on meeting do likewise, but if gays duo it…. the world will collapse.

Some stride with certainty, I just stride.

Question: If fast food employees eat the food is that a good or a bad sign?

Some must take the last sip before existing.

I never use a straw.God doesn’t use one, so why should I?

I do not flip pages when eating.

Listening is truly a lost art in American colleges.

We learn by doing or not doing.

If you want to know Mitt’s view, just tell him what you believe in, he will find a way to agree with you.

In entering a shop some take off sunglasses while others flip them to top of head. I am of the latter persuasion.

Morning silence is more somber than evening silence.

Republican Hot Air Threatens Planet!!

Posted on May 13, 2012 by | Leave a comment

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!!!

CEOs Plead Poverty

Posted on May 13, 2012 by | Leave a comment

I realize that the Socialist Democratic party has waged a non-stop war against our  beloved job creators because they hate any executive who wants to make America enjoy the free enterprise system. Instead, executives are forced to dwell in a land in which hatred of those who make money is fostered by the Obama administration. Latest figures concerning CEO pay prove the Democratic party wants to destroy the American economy.

US Chief CEOs ONLY received raises of about 15%! Their average pay in 2011 was ONLY $5.8 million! How in God’s name can an executive get along on ONLY five million? This is analogous to the North Korean government which sends people to gulags. Obama is waging war against those who create and wants to take their money and distribute it to welfare cheats and drug addicts. OK, so CEO folk gave out 3.2% raises at a time when inflation was 2.7%. But, this means they gave at least a ONE PERCENT RAISE of THEIR MONEY to those who work for them!

Obama wants to destroy free enterprise and the first step is driving CEOs to poverty. First they came for the CEO, then they came for the Wall Street brokers,and then they came FOR YOU!

Wither Afghanistan In 2014?

Posted on May 13, 2012 by | Leave a comment

The American people are tired of wars, they are fatigued with wars far away in distant lands  containing people who differ from traditional immigrants to this nation. President Obama recently signed an agreement with President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan which entails departure of American armed forces from that land by 2014. Small contingents of  trainers will remain for years. The agreement appears to solve a problem –or does it? In reality, the agreement creates problems for the people of Afghanistan.

Currently, about 98% of the GDP of Afghanistan derives from outside economic and military assistance. US aid alone the past year was $15.7 billion. This means thousands of jobs are connected to foreign aid or military forces. Once American troops leave they also leave with jobs and money and leave behind        women groups that lack financial support to continue aiding females.

Yes, we leave behind a small group of wealthy Afghans, but the vast majority need our financial support. American political leaders are cutting government expenditures, and if they cut Afghan support, we can witness the return to power of the Taliban.

Hezbollah Threatens Israel

Posted on May 13, 2012 by | Leave a comment

Years go by without any serious negotiation between the Netanyahu government and Palestinian leaders. Years go by with more and more settlements on the West Bank and less and less opportunity to achieve a meaningful  peace in the Middle East.The assumption of the current Israel government is that “time is on our side.” That is an assumption lacking any credible logic to support its outcome. Time is NOT no the side of Israel, time is on the side of Muslim militants who seek war and destruction.

Hassan Nasrallah, head of Hezbollah boasted that his group was prepared for war with Israel and that “the days when we fled and they did not are over.” Most probably, Hezbollah has thousands of missiles which can reach Israel. Logic would argue it is in the self-interest of Israel to negotiate peace with the Palestinian Authority. Once that agreement is in place, Hezbollah will not merely be confronting Israel, it will be confronting Muslims who seek peace.

It is in Israel’s self interest to help forge a Middle Eastern Union modeled on that of the European Union. Such an organization will bring peace and stability to the region. Once in place, Israelis-Jews and Muslims–can have the peace they desire.

USA, aol:  ”Four Kids Strapped On Hood”

Sex only allowed when standing up.

Egyptians Want God, Not Jobs

Posted on May 12, 2012 by | Leave a comment

There are people in this world who believe that God is on their side and spends his time worrying about their lives rather than wandering the universe seeking to prevent it from blowing itself up. In a recent poll, 60% of Egyptians wanted their nation to emulate the world of Saudi Arabia rather than that of Turkey. Saudi Arabia is a society controlled by a few thousand very wealthy people while Turkey has a vibrant economy and millions are moving into an economic status worthy of a modern society. Most Egyptians want religion in government as is so prevalent in Saudi Arabia rather than the Turkish model which respects religion but does not allow it to dominate government.

Yes, Egyptians actually believe Sharia law will result in a more prosperous nation. Of course, 10% of Egyptians are Coptic Christians, but, what the heck, they also should follow the Muslim religion if they want to be saved. Egypt contains millions of young people who cannot find jobs that match educational levels. However, if fellow Egptians have their way, no job,  but plenty of time in a mosque will lead to happiness.
