Sarah Palin

http://news.yahoo.com/why-fox-news-dropped-sarah-palin-164000188.html

 

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.

Obama Intends to Disobey Court Order

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/white-house-rejects-nlrb-ruling-recess-appointments-unconcerned-202214680–politics.html

The President’s statement of rejection harkens back to a Supreme Court ruling regarding the Cherokee Indian nation whereby President Andrew Jackson expressly disobeyed the court, displaced the native american indians and sent them to the concentration camps, also know as Indian reservations.  This has been a national disgrace and cause for great national mourning until this day.  President Obama can simply ignore the Federal Circuit Court and go forward and it would be up to the House of Representatives to introduce a bill of impeachment because of Obama’s actions.  This bill of impeachment, which is an indictment or accusation, would be sent to the Senate for the trial of the President for usurpation of power and illegal action by abrogation of power not granted to him by the Constitution.

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.

Libya was Obama’s Big Mistake

Obama and Clinton were all out in favor of the toppling of the legal government of Gaddalfi.  The USA used our planes (A10) and our cruise missiles (210 of them) and our arms shipments, naval blockade and secret special forces spotters inside of Libya.  All of this was to topple the Government in Tripoli, Libya.  Now we have terrorists running the county while the petty bureaucrats chosen by France to run the country are cowering in Tripoli.  The Arab Spring is a false movement of terrorism and Islamic conquest hiding under the guise of freedom and democracy.  The bloodshed can be stopped if the USA and its secret support and secret cash payments are stopped.  The so called “liberation movements” are make believe and it is amazing that the USA Press is constantly telling us lies about what really happened in Libya and what is really happening in Syria.

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.

Anita Hill and Hollywood

http://shine.yahoo.com/the-thread-hit-list/a-smiling-anita-hill-shows-up-at-sundance-204556971.html

The film’s angle, said the director after the screening, is all about “looking at the next generation of people, looking at the next generation of issues and getting it right,” in terms of gender inequality.
The director the film is telling us HIS problem.  The people of the USA had it right then and have it right now.  We, the people are for each other and as the saying goes we “have each other’s back.”  It is the Hollywood crowd that has it all wrong.  They think of themselves as “Stars” or as “Very talented” or as the ‘Hollywood Royalty’  or the “Elite”.  Actually, they are actors and actresses making a living by performing for other people’s entertainment much like an automobile worker makes cars or a garbage person takes away the trash.  No better and no worse.  However, to hear them tell it, we, the people have it wrong regarding our values and they are going to show us the error of our ways and point us to the brightness of their light.  (Funny, how they attack religion as being preaching when what they do, day and night, is preach, preach, preach.)  For them, there are the super stars, the super rich, the super successful.  For them, there are the “has beens, the B grade” actors and actresses.  For them, there are those who are sought after and those who are shunned.  Their inordinate pride is amazingly self-centered and therefore fundamentally narrow and most of the time unwarranted.  Yes, we the people got it right years ago during the hearing for Clarence Thomas who was the first Black man to become a Justice of the Supreme Court and who was set upon by the bigotry of Senator Kennedy and his cabal of cronies in the Senate.  And we get it right every day as we live, work and socialize with each other down here in the lowlands where the PEOPLE actually live.  By the way, Mr Director, who set you up as the teacher who is going to show the rest of us how to get it right?  Take a look at your own house first.  How many women are Directors of movies, or heads of production studios?  It seems to me that Hollywood’s Directors are predominantly white males, and that Hollywood administrative structures are exclusively white males.

By the way, Anita looks fabulous in the photo.  Good for her and we are all glad she made a success of her life.  However, sadly, she very publically tried to make a disaster of another person’s life.  Funny that Justice Thomas, whose wife is white, should have been accused by the Kennedy cabal of being a sexist and racist?!  For some perspective on those we once called our leaders, read Killing Kennedy by Bill O Reilly concerning John and Robert Kennedy.  Sections of it also treat of The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his deeds of self-indulgence in the dark.  The book is very factual, and very enlightening concerning those who would accuse others of misdeeds.  The book restates an old adage that those who accuse others are probably doing it themselves and even worse than those they accuse.

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.

General McChrystal and President Obama

http://news.yahoo.com/mcchrystal-regrets-magazine-flap-career-killer-122932698–politics.html

I am a vet of thirty years of service, honorably retired and I have only the highest respect for a soldier who achieved four star rank.  I note here that many are stating things in absolute terms, such as you NEVER, or you SHOULD have known, or freedom of speech is yours when your enlistment is over, or that ANY insubordination to the civilian order is insubordination to the Constitution.  WOW aren’t we all perfect little children all standing straight in line and doing everything we are told and never, never being naughty.  Second WOW, saying anything derogatory is a matter of interpretation and is not forbidden in private conversation although some would say, but not the Constitution, that there is never private conversation in the military.  Third WOW is that freedom of speech, which is a fundamental Constitutional right is somehow given up in the military, well, tell that to the Judge Advocate and get a lesson in the code of military justice which is not allowed to circumvent the Constitution.  Final WOW, the idea that any insubordination to the civilian order is insubordination to the Constitution is absurd.  All military personnel are taught that there are such things as illegal orders, unethical and immoral practices and shady dealings and they are required to be insubordinate to those who require such practices whether it be the President or a Sargeant.  So the use of ANY is dead wrong.  Final point, go back and read the Rolling Stone article which I don’t believe anyone here has done.  You are all overstating the offense with terms that are inaccurate.  General McChrystal resigned and the President accepted his resignation because of the political embarrassment caused by the inaccuracies of the RS article and because General McChrystal felt the uproar adversely affected the mission in Afghanistan.

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.

Obama and Reid Now Must do something and not just talk.

Yes.  Since anything the House has already passed was Dead on Arrival in the Senate.  And since anything the House may have been able to do was declared Dead on Arrival by Harry Reid.  And since anything that was done or could have been done was declared to be a “…item I will veto…”  by President Obama- Now it is the turn of the President to actually put something in writing.  His proposals so far have been talk and speeches and sound bites.  As we know, talk, speeches and sound bites are not proposed legislation and cannot be submitted to the House in that form.  Therefore, it is now the President and the Senate who must propose something to the House.
