Health Care Law should be Separate

I note the inherent prejudice of the report, namely, that the reporter states that the Republicans refused to fund the government and then the reporter modifies the statement that “does not also repeal or delay the implementation of President Barack Obama’s signature healthcare reform bill,…”  the reporter also notes that the House majority is Republican while he does not note that the Senate majority is Democrat.  Words are inportant and the word order used in a sentence influences the perceptions of the reader.  The reporter does not state the fact that the House has passed four funding resolutions that will keep workers working and keep government open.  All of house funding bills were rejected by the Senate.  As the Senate majority leader, Harry Reid said, “…the bills passed in the House which do not fund Obamacare are dead on arrival (DOA) in the Senate.”  Harry Reid is a Democrat.  Yesterday, the House passed another funding bill which would keep open all agencies closed by the shutdown.  However, because the house bill did not fund Obamacare, the Senate rejected it.  The House is repeatedly funding the government and keeping it open. The Senate is repeatedly defunding the government and closing it.  Hey, Obamacare is not functional yet.  It is planned to go into effect but the15 thousand pages of regulations need review and modifications.  History shows that taxes once inplemented and collected are never repealed.  Let’s take more time with the health care overhaul.   Let’s fund the government while we realistically approach this problem.  Please remember that it took a lot of bribery in the Senate such as the Nebraska bribe, the Louisiana bribe and the threats against incumbent Representative to get the health care law passed.  It also took Chief Justice John Robert’s extraordinary expansion, even rewrite of the law, to declare it constitutional.  We the people should demand that we separate from the current budget the health care law with it’s massive taxes, fees, fines and exemptions.  The health care law is too massive and too important to be lumped into normal congressional business.  It needs to be treated bipartisan .

http://news.yahoo.com/us-blackmailing-russia-over-syria-lavrov-105610311.html  This refrain by the USA is correctly criticized by the Russians.  Since the days of Obama Arab Spring speech in Egypt, all we have seen in the Middle East is an onward march by Muslim extremists backs by the CIA and NATO and now he wants the UN to do it for him.  From the beginning of his regime, Obama has played the Noble Peace prize while he has pursues wars in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and Syria.  Surprizing, he has left intact the hereditary monarchs of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Arab Emirates.

Oil in all of these places or ease for the transport of oil is the underlying corporate play.  And Obama, who started at 900 thousands in personal wealth is approaching 12 millions.  How does he get it.  Through the “blind” trust set up for him by Warren Buffet, a frequent guest at the White House.  Warren Buffet who does not want the pipeline because it hurts his profits from the Burlington Northern Railroad.  Warren Buffet and friends who want to close coal nines in Kentucky and West Virginia, in favor of their oil and gas interests in Texas and the Dakotas.

At The Russia Foreign minister said, the Americans are fixated on Regime change.  He says that all the former imperialist and colonial powers of England and France want is for regime change.  All USA wants is regime change. How to get it?  He says the three unholy partners say, use force.  They want military intervention, bombs, missiles, troops on the ground under UN mandate.  So it is the USA that cries and continues to cry,  attack, attack.  We are definitely the war mongers in this case.

Previous articles on this blog has enumerated the case in favor of Libyan ruler Gaddafi.  Why, because he was the internationally recognized leader of the Libya, like the king of Saudi Arabia is.  I made the case in favor of Mubarak.  Why, because like the sultan of Arab Emirates, he was the UN recognized leader of his nation.  I make the same case for Assad.  Why, because if an international oil company wants to tap into the Syria oil, they must sign a contract with the leader of the Syrian people, Assad.

Some cynics will say this is politics Chicago style, because of Obama’s Chicago roots.  I call it arrogance and gangsterism when the USA wants to go around the world and pick and choose what governments it will play with and which ones have to be changed before we will play.  Oh, and leave your ball with us when you leave the same, Obama says, because we like YOUR ball and would rather play with it than with you.

In fairness to Obama, some will say that he is a novice playing in a big boys game.  They will point to the long Imperial colonial history of both France and England.  They will recall the bloody wars France fought in Vietnam and Algeria in order to force their imperial colonial will on the native people of those countries.  They will recall that England and France were the colonial powers responsible for the boundaries that are the mid-east today- boundaries that favor English and French corporate interests at great cost to the average persons in those countries.  They will tell you that where French and English people reside today in Africa, the locals are the servants and the white or half white elites are the rulers and beneficiaries of the local resources.  So, they will tell you it is not big bad Obama but those nasty imperialists.

But Obama is more than willing to play along with the French and English bullies.  Why, one can only wonder why the USA wants to join with them in order to advance their selfish corporate interests at the expense of the everyday citizens of those nations.  It can only be that Obama talks the talk of peace, peace, but secretly pushes his friends to cry war, war.  Sadly, the Russian Lavrov is again being shown that it is not only Hilary Clinton that lied to him, it is not only John Kerry who lied to him, it is the big boy in the white house who lied to him.

It is embarrassing, as a USA citizen to think that the world is seeing daily evidence that the USA cannot be trusted because its political leaders are liars.

USA Needs to Stay out of Syria

http://news.yahoo.com/afghan-civilians-killed-nato-airstrike-114608612.html

This article is a prime and potent example of why we should not attack Syria.  A missile, bomb or drone does not know the difference between the innocent and the guilty.  The bomb does not stop halfway to the target because it senses that there are innocent children there.  It just keeps on dropping until it blows up the target including the innocents who happen to be there.  The USA cannot lower itself to the level of the terrorists.

Congress must not support the Obama administration and an over zealous navy.  Sure, the Navy had a very small role in Afghanistan but they do not need to prove their value by attacking Syria from their ships.  Americans value their Navy and no amount of brazen aggression by the USA administration is needed to make us value them more.

To Mc Cain, Linsey Graham, Nancy Pelosi and congressman Ted Cruz:  Please stop your inane and insane posturing and calls for the USA military to participate in the wholesale killing , (can we say murder) of Syrians.  I heard our congressional representatives saying that they know for sure that the government of Syria used Chemical weapons.  Based on what?  They based it upon the CIA intel presented to them by the Obama administration.  This same administration came out today and said that it is an absolutely logical conclusion to assume that the government of Syria is responsible.  So?  Are we to bomb and kill Syrians based on assumptions  and logical conclusions.  Friends, we are talking about killing people!

I am embarrassed to refer my readers to the interview by V. Putin of Russia.  He called for conclusive proof that 1. The government of Syria ordered the gas attack.  2. That the regular army of Syria actually released the chemicals.  That is to me more democratic and reasonable.  Can it be that a former communist and KGB official is more democratic than the President of the USA.

President Obama.  Sir:  you said “no “to your cabinet officials who counseled immediate and devastating attacks on Syria.  You said “no” to those who advised you to go to war without Congressional approval.  Now, Sir, please say “no” to the assumption that the government of Syria is responsible and stand down the navy.  Withdraw our ships and stop CIA money payments and USA arms shipments to the Islamic rebels.  And at the same time, put the full diplomatic weight of the USA behind an effort to convince our friends in Russia and China that we are believable and willing to cooperate and collaborate with them to end the violence in Syria without demanding the ouster of the President of that sovereign nation.

Does Rep. Cummings think we are fools?

http://news.yahoo.com/democrat-irs-testimony-shows-no-white-house-involvement-162842119.html

It is beyond amazing that suddenly we have one lower level Republican IRS agent who claims that he and he alone is totally and completely responsible for the whole IRS scandal and Rep. Cummings tells the nation that alright, we finally found this lone Republican guy and all the scandal is wrapped up.  So he thinks we should just stop immediately, put this whole sorry scandal in a box and shelve it.  Amazing, that Democrats could find this lone Republican to take the sole blame.  Amazing, that the Democrats always knew that it was a conservative Republican who was to blame.  Amazing, that this relatively low level IRS employee should think of himself so highly as to believe that he and he alone is the center of the IRS scandal.

This writer believes that Rep. Cummings has found his knave and now he wants everybody to just move on.  It reminds me of Hiliary who said concerning Benghazi that ” Who cares now, they are dead, the deed is done, so let’s move on.”

It seems that the Democrat motto is that No one is ever to be held accountable except a Republican.

It is actually insulting that our Democrat congressmen think so little of the citizens as to dismiss our intelligence with “proof” of the bogey man under the bed.

If all of us can be rational for a minute, then we need to thank Russia for world peace.  The world peace prize needs to go to Vladimir Putin not Obama.  It was the French and the British who tricked NATO and the UN into forcing the legal Libya government of Gaddafi to be overthrown.  Not without a lot of help from Obama!! Why?  Who really knows?  But the oil of Libya is important to Britain and France.  And YES, (capitals intended) we really do need to remember the very dark Imperialist past of France and Britain.  It seems that their enslaving and mercantilist past is very much a present force in their politics.

The whole idea of the mid eastern Caliphate is a Muslim Brotherhood idea and is backed by the faction called Al Qaeda and maybe, in some convoluted way, by the Saudi Wahabi Islamic sect.  It also seems to play well with France and Britain.  But such a Caliphate is not in the best interests of Russia and the United States.  On this issue the Obama administration is blinded by President Obama’s Muslim background and by the Liberal Eastern Academic establishment’s idea that  such a Caliphate is a natural outcome of geopolitical reality. WRONG!!!

The overthrow of the legal governments of Libya and Egypt are directly related to the wrongly informed politics of Britain, France and the USA.  ALLOW ME to be very clear.  I sincerely and honestly believe in the self determination of the future of these nation States.  However, it may be that the self-determination of these nation States will be decided by their very unique ethnic, religious and cultural demographics and not be decided by Western European and USA ideas about how and what and why!!   What should such self determination reflect?  Let the peoples of the Arab and non-Arab Middle Eastern (SW Asia) determine their own fate without any involvement of the former Imperialist France and Britain and without the ill informed interference of Obama.

If the Sunni can win on their own, so be it.  If the Shiites can win on their own, so be it.  If the Wahabi sect can win, or the Taliban, or the Al Qaeda, the Ala alawhits, so be it!!

The Western European powers of former Imperialist nations like Belgium, France and Britain need to stay out.

That is the message that Vladimir Putin is sending out, not only to the West but also to the rebels in every region.  Namely, if you really have popular support and if you really represent the regional self interests of the people in your area, then we the Russians,  ARE REAdY AND WILLING TO DEAL WITH YOUR SUCCESS.  However, if you are merely the puppets of the French, British, Belgian, znd USA Imperialist powers of the New World Order, then we, the Russians, and joined by our Chinese counterparts, we stand against you’

Friends, the Russians and the Chinese are right.  Stay out of these regional, cultural, Muslim conflicts.  Align yourself with the unfettered winner and all will be well with the world.

Obama Should Stop Using Air Force One

http://news.yahoo.com/obama-cutting-own-pay-solidarity-federal-workers-033436986–business.html

More empty symbolism from Obama.  He gives back five percent of four hundred thousand, or twenty thousand dollars.  Good.  But if he used Air force one 10% less, he would save the government $179,000 each time.  So ten times equals 1 million 700 thousand which could be used to pay peoples salary.  The President doesn’t pay for anything, not food, or shelter, heat, light, water, lawn, repairs, phone, TV, travel.  All are 100 % paid for by the taxes of the same workers he is claiming to favor.  Even Obama’s lavish White House parties and hollywood studed extravaganzas are paid for by the taxes of the people.  Stop the lavish parties, I don’t mean State dinners which are a requirement of the office of President.  I mean the very expensive lavish and extravangant weekly private parties for his friends and political supporters.  Then cut all use of Air force one when used for political speeches and political Democrat fund raising and campaigning.  I guess, that would probably save tens of millions, all of which could be directed to funding the salaries of the federal workers he so publically supports.  But then, it seems, Americans and the media are more impressed with Obama’s drama instead of his actual accomplishments.  Its all style over substance.

Let’s Honor our murdered dead

http://news.yahoo.com/no-purple-hearts-fort-hood-victims-pentagon-says-152503982–abc-news-topstories.html

Please write your congress person to insist that these great American citizens who were wantonly murdered on their way to deployment should not only get a purple heart, but the increased benefits to their families that is required of our nation.  That is, if are willing to be honest and insist that our dead, (they are dead brothers and sisters, and their children are without them!!). These American soldiers volunteered to serve the military mission of our nation.  They were American service personnel.  They would not have been brutally murdered if they were not on their way to carry out the commands of the American government.  Yes, that means the orders of President Obama. (look folks, those are merely the facts and not anti Obama statements.) So let’s not be small-minded and childish in our treatment of these heroes.  Yes, they did not die in combat, they were murdered.  They were brutally and wantonly murdered by a fellow soldiers who was himself a secret terrorist.  So they were killed by terrorists and we must demand that our military do the right thing and the right thing is NOT to allow Attorney General Holder’s insistence that this was “workplace violence”.  Shame on us if we do not honor these service members with a purple heart and decent benefits to their spouses and children.

Leave Afghanistan Now

http://news.yahoo.com/afghan-teenager-fatally-stabs-us-soldier-105007454.html

 

We must leave Afghanistan now, today, pronto, to hell with their damn country, Muslim fanaticism, and terrorist people.  Let them kill themselves, as they always have, and let them do it until they are satisified with their human sacrifices to their terrorist fanaticism, and then they will stop.

Leave Afghanistan Now

http://news.yahoo.com/us-commandos-hand-over-troubled-area-afghans-085617778.html

President Obama said that this was the war that absolutely must be won.  NOT.  America is in fast retreat from this hell hole.

Secretary of State Kerry, as a Senator, said that the Afghanistan war is the true war for freedom and democracy.  Now he is making deals with the Taliban.

President George W Bush thought this was a significant place to fight against terrorism, ignorance and Muslim bigotry.  NOT.

Is it any wonder that the USA under the Obama administration is in full retreat from Afghanistan?

The writer of this blog does not agree with the idea that because we have already spent the lives of thousands of Ameria’s best patriots, therefore, we need to stay and spend the lives of thousands more.

Rather, I believe that the entire Afghanistan venture was a total and complete waste of time and effort.  That our young men’s lives were tragically wasted. And that Bush, Mrs. Clinton, Obama and Kerry are responsible for the carnage inflicted upon American families during this twelve year long stupidity.

Therefore, the USA should immediately and completely withdraw from Afghanistan.  We shoud not consult with, seek the approval of. nor worry about, the silly Karzai government.  We should just order our troops to destroy all USA equipment in Afghanistan.  We should order the total destruction of all USA installations in Afghanistan.  And this is to be done by a few dozen volunteers who will remain after we unilaterally and immediately withdraw 100 % of the the USA forces from that nation State.  As to the contractors?  They got there by our USA government and USA military machinations. Therefore, give the USA government and military a “secret date certain” for the 100 % withdrawal and get the very highly paid volunteer civilains out,However, only after we are certain that our volunteer military forces are safe to leave.

Let Afghanistan have Afghanistan.  And Allah bless them as they build their nation upon the principles of Islam.
