Immigrational Reform is Good

http://news.yahoo.com/bipartisan-push-immigration-reform-doomed-093500366.html

We have asked our Congress to do something.  Now let’s ask them to vigorously debate this.. I mean. really get onto the floor of the House and Senate with real people in the audience and not empty seats like on CSpan. Let them really wrestle with this thorny issue and let them broadcast how the Congress is supposed to work and let the people chime in via blogs and emails and have a long drag out debate and get into the weeds with all of us participating.  We have the technology.  Let’s support our Congress. Let’s see If they are serious and are not making quick back room deals that leave us out of the deal.  Let’s force these people who claim that they want to be Senators and Congress-people to do their job right in front of us, on TV and on Internet and let’s solve this issue and at the same time let our Congress people know that ALL of us, not just the special interests, are watching and will hold them accountable, not only for what they say but what they do.  It is time, VOTERS, for all of us to stand up and to call out our elected representatives.  No more hiding behind Obama, or party meetings, or Harry Reid with his “Dead on Arrival” policy.  No more allowing them to say, “Oh, well” and “Ah, shucks” and all of that phony baloney.  No more publicity from Chuck Schumer and John Mc Cain.  Let’s call them all out and see who they really are not only their veneer.  And while we are at it, let’s call out Jay Carney, the Obama Press Secretary for all of his “bull!@!@”  Lets demand that Jay tell us the real truth or just shut up and close down the propaganda room because it certainly is not a news room.

Sarah Palin

this parting of the ways may be the best thing for Gov. Palin.  She is talented and although maligned as a person that some people love to hate, many Americans identified with her and her “mama grisly” attitude.  Don’t write her obituary yet, because I think that Gov. Palin is savvy, smart (her detractors to the contrary) and will be able to hone her considerable skills.  As the reporter on this article rightly said, she backed several candidates in the 2012 election and considering the number that went on to victory, her credibility as a politician is enhanced.  And for the Sarah Palin haters.  Well, you just go on hatin’ all you want because the rest of America are not haters.  We are not stupid, red necks and clingers to our guns and Bibles as your leader says.  Rather, we are college educated professionals who do not follow the phony politics of the liberal left.  We think for ourselves and make our own decisions based on our values and our analysis of each situation.

Palestine and Israel are a Real Tragedy for People

http://news.yahoo.com/abbas-asks-israel-let-palestinians-fleeing-syria-211524805.html

 

The key here is that Palestine did not accept the fleeing refugees.  Instead their Palestinian brothers, (so-called) used them as  human hostages against Israel.  The so-called “Right of Return” was a key element in the Zionist claim to get back the land of ancient Israel against the Palestinians.  So Abbas knew what he was doing and he dropped the request of asylum when Israel recognized the ploy and denied the request.  Sadly, the downtrodden and homeless Palestinians are the hapless pawns in this mid eastern game of politics.

Putin’s Policu On Mid East Better than Obama’s

http://news.yahoo.com/russias-vladimir-putin-says-west-fomenting-jihadi-blowback-173800021.html

President Obama should get outside his Muslim childhood and hear the real call of Islam which is a called to radicalism, terrorism, and Jihad.  All of these are against democracy and freedom. Instead they are religious, medieval, and tyrannical.  It is very surprising that V. Putin, a former KGB agent but for the second time, the President of Russia, should see the world with more clarity and realism than B. Obama.  Yes, you can throw the relative state of freedom and democracy in Russia against me.  Nonetheless, Putin’s realistic and politically incorrect assessment of the Terrorist Islamic movement in Mid East, is accurate and should be given a lot of attention.

Kerry and Other One Percenters Should Share the Pain

http://news.yahoo.com/kerry-testifies-panel-chairs-150446984–politics.html

 

Since Obama is asking for shared sacrifice, can Obama, whose wealth went from 9 hundred thousand to 12 million in four years, serve the nation free of charge and forgo his pension and health benefits?  The same can be asked of Kerry who will get a Senate pension, Social Security, free health benefits and many perks of office as Sec. State.  With 184 million, he is definitely the one percent.  Will he share the pain by foregoing salary and benefits?  It seems amazing to me that the Occupy Wall Street people and the others who rage against the “one percenters” and against people who make over 250 thousands that these same protesters willingly are ruled by people like Senator Kerry who has 184 million$$$$. Actually, it is the problem with our political scene that people whose personal wealth is enormous, attack the personal wealth of other people.  And it is a problem when our leaders and pundits whose children all go to schools with high security, armed guards and even personal bodyguards, these same people, say that the rest of us should not have weapons to defend ourselves in our own homes and that armed guards in schools are too dangerous to the children.  I think it is called hypocrisy.

By the way, I know these things are not profound but they are things about which I believe we should be talking.  Hey, none of us has a corner on the truth.  But it seems to me that so much of what our political leaders say to us is phony.

Russia is Friend of Syrian Peace

http://news.yahoo.com/start-something-big-russia-pulls-hundred-citizens-syria-155610519.html

The rebels are armed by secret USA, British and French arms shipments.  Look at map, These three nations are very far away from Syria.  Russia is right next door.  So the Russians are rightfully more interested in Syria than the rest.  The talk on these pages is as though the cold war was not over.  What do all those without sons and daughters in our military want…More war?  The Russians have been very clear.  Stop the secret arming of the rebels.  Stop the millions of dollars of pay to the rebels.  Stop trying to overthrow the government of Syria by international State sponsored terrorism, which is what such funding and arming of the rebels actually is,  Then the Russians will support transition from Assad and international UN sponsored free elections in Syria.  From the beginning, it has been the Russians who have pursued peace. The NATO allies, France, Britain and USA  have pursued war.  First, we helped overthrow our ally Mubarak, than Gaddafi, and now Assad.  If Russia tried to overthrow the governments of Mexico, Costa Rica, and Panama, we would be screaming about it, rattling our swords and threatening World War.  The way to stop the terrible bloodshed is for USA to affirm our commitment to peace. If USA State sponsored terrorism against Syria was stopped, the rebels would retreat.  The Assad Regime would stop defending itself.  The people would live and many innocent children would be ensured parents into the future.

Gun Control is not a solution

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/bloomberg-advising-white-house-gun-legislation-190643237–politics.html

 

It is people like Michael Bloomberg who think that you solve the obesity problem by selling only sixteen oz. drinks instead of thirty-two oz.  What stops a person from buying two 16 oz drinks?  He also thinks that merely controlling free and law-abiding citizens will answer the moral decay evidenced in wanton acts of murder.  It seems that the answer of Obama, Biden, Bloomberg and others is to have the federal government control everything, while ignoring the plain fact that these are moral, spiritual and behavioral problems which will not be solved by new regulations further controlling people who simply seek to defend themselves against rabid criminals or insane murderers.

Nixon was a Great President

http://news.yahoo.com/nixon-remembered-centennial-salute-california-birthplace-080129516.html

 

In a very good and under read book, titled, Silent Coup, the Removal of a President, by Len Colodny and Robert Gettlin, the Watergate Affair is looked at uniquely.  It is a good read and may still be available via Amazon. Anyway, there were plenty of phoney’s involved and one of them may not have been President Nixon. It does need to be remembered that in the election  Watergate gave President Nixon absolutely no edge over George Mc Govern.  Nixon won his election, as did Obama, “Fair and square”  And we all seem to forget that Nixon won forty eight States, or was it forty nine?  So if we want to talk about a mandate, he definitely had one and he lied about nothing in order to win the confidence of the people.  Rather, Watergate was the undoing of the people’s free decision. It was a Silent Coup.  And by whom? By Senators like Sam Erwin, a professed hater of Nixon.  Factually, it was revealed a few weeks ago that Judge Sirica of the Federal circuit court, shared private, privileged information concerning Nixon and other defendents with the Special Prosecutor,  which I believe was illegal and required him to recuse himself from any further ruling in the case.  When the Judge is willing to help the Prosecutor and consistently rules against you and is unethical enough to consider you guilty until proven innocent, well, that is plain wrong.

Comment on Obama Vacation

Yes, the President is entitled to a vacation.  However, the question is one of money.  He constantly says that we need “shared sacrifice” and also that the so-called rich, who he thinks are people who make over $250 thousand must pay more in taxes.  Yet, he takes the Air Force One to go on vacation to Hawaii.  I think the cost to the taxpayer for such a flight is $179,000 dollars an hour.  An amazing figure. If this figure is correct and the flight from Washington takes ten hours than how much is that??  Does anyone know if the cost includes the secret service salaries and accommodations and the cost of the fighter jet escorts and the on the ground security at the hotel?  I think one commentator estimated the trip at 2 million dollars to the taxpayer.  To Bq2008, who stated that people have to stop complaining and get a job and realize that the election is over and that Obama won,  I have a job.  I have also served my nation in the military and my wife and all my relations and children have jobs.  So Bq don’t shout at those who object to such extra ordinary expense.  It may be time for some expense account cutting on the federal government including the office of President.  And yes, other Presidents took vacations, but so what?!  That was then and this is now.  As you Bq said, the election is over and its time to move on and that includes that it is time to stop treating Obama as a rock star, or pandering to him for whatever silly reasons people use for pandering.  If we need to be responsible and share the sacrifice, so does the President.
