Embassy Tragedies

The ravaging of our embassies in Egypt and Libya: Is this a teachable moment or what? The question what is it teaching us: that our foreign polices of appeasement, atonement and financial aid, thought to be retribution, is paying off for us; that the

Muslims do not see us as infidels, either to be converted to Islam or killed; that the vast majority of Muslims are law abiding (other than Sharia Law that is); that a nuclear armed

Muslim state poses no threat to non-Muslim nations; that they see the United States or anyone else for that matter capable of thwarting their religious fanaticism? Have another

glass of cool-aid! Admit it, our Kumbaya Foreign Policy, taken to extreme by our President, The Master- Appeaser, The Great-Equalizer, is a total disaster and may ferment a catastrophic international event if not changed!

Are We Sheep?

Although Clint Eastwood has gone on record saying," President Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people". I had to ask myself, if so, how could that happen? We are not a bunch of sheep, we Americans! And then, in asking the question, it dawns on me, we are not the American's of our forefathers, and far removed from the so called Greatest Generation! And therein lies the rub, we have lost our edge, our collective strength, our cohesiveness as Americans, that cohesiveness that once made us exceptional. Our great melting pot has coalesced into diverse factions through political herding, making us less inclined to put our nation ahead of our own personal self interests! Entitlements, have unquestionably fermented the process; a large unwieldy omni- presence government has created a public sector that has mismanaged the country's revenues, natural and human resources to the point of a suspected hidden, intentional political subversion. We have become a governmentcentric populous so divided among ourselves we have lost our once indomitable majority to address our national and international interest with strength and conviction! Back to our Constitution I say, and quickly! It alone speaks faithfully in the voice of our forefathers! I fervently believe it can and will restore us if practiced passionately and

forcefully!

Peggy Noonan

Oh Peggy Noonan I think I'm in love.., my sentiments exactly (WSJ Opine 9/9/12)!

She captured the essence of my appraisal of the DNC soiree in Charlotte to the 9's! With her terse gems: Joe Biden is a normal Democrat; John Kerry was on fire " ...in being for it, before he was against it; pegging the DNC atmosphere marked by a kind of soft distracting extremism; noting the resounding "No!" vote on restoring the mention of God and support of the administrations stand on Jerusalem in the party's platform; comparing the Republicans to Nazis; tagging Ms. Fluke the fabulously confident and igneous-seeming political narcissist that she is; Bill Clinton sticking to fluid fictions in his address yet left the glaring specter of both Medicare and Medicaid's true benefits and financing in the scheme of Obamacare unanswered; asking the ominous question, can the Dem's extreme will, along with their bought and payed for public employee constituency carry the day come Nov? Scary!

What have you come away with?

Let's keep it simple: Now that the RNC and the DNC spectacles have faded from our reveries, what have you come away with? It looks a lot like '08 all over again,wouldn't you say? We are still looking for hope and change! That's what President Obama said he was going to give us back then, and it has come to pass, and resoundingly so, he has not! His retort: he has made significant progress, he just needs more time to get the job done, ergo give him a second term. So, if you believe him: that he has made significant progress toward fulfilling his promises, your choice should be clear. Give him his second term. Right? But, how can you, when the evidence to the contrary is so overwhelming. His, more of the same plans for the future, plans already proven inadequate if not abstract failures in practice is his answer? In that being said wouldn't you have to concede, all things being equal, change as proposed by others of some reputation the alternative, a logical alternative to take!

DNC

Have you been watching the DNC, if you haven't you should be! Move over Joseph Goebbels, Eva Peron, Fidel Castro, Obama and his legions have written a new chapter in practicing mass psychology in virulent propagandizing (not in substance mind you, but in inflammatory rhetoric!). Hardly a word spoken to the issues facing our nation, save for noting: what has been said by the opposition branded as lies and/or distortions!

What we got was a constant rant on the woes of the perceived oppressed: workers being victimized by tyrannical Industrial capitalist, the rich reaping the gains of the underclasses while not paying their fair share of taxes, women being denied their rightful place in society as well as their thought to be fundamental gender liberties,government being curtailed from bringing equality to the masses, emigrants unfairly set upon in their redefined illegal-legal status, those greedy bankers poised to foreclose on your home at the slightest provocation, minorities stifled by the majority, government portrayed as the final solution to all our nation's trials and tribulations! And, let me not forget Bill Clinton (touted to be the most popular President of our time!) taking full credit for his budgetary expertise and management during his second term while making no 7 mention Congress sets the budget, which at his time was Republican, lead by Speaker Newt Gingrich! The coup de grace, President Obama himself extolling his constituency in revival prose and oration to give him four more years to continue his quest. That quest in my mind, bringing this great nation of ours to it's knees! God help us. 

Clinton At The DNC

Everyone is hanging on tenterhooks waiting for the past, impeached President William Jefferson Clinton to address the DNC, to pontificate on the state of the nation; to set the tone for the reelection of President Barack Obama! Give me a break! Isn't this the same "Slick Willy" the consummate womanizer, the husband of Hillary the would be president, that railed on Barack Obama's incompetence, his lack of record, his unworthiness to be President of the United States ( as did he! ), the same President who violated an intern, in the oval office no less, yet claimed "I never had sex with that woman"; who not only was impeached, but had his license to practice law revoked? Is that who our Democrat brethren is going to roll out as a paragon of Democrat values and Ideals?

Pointing Blame

You can explain to me forever and a day, that it is President Bush's fault that we have gotten ourselves into such a mess....,and it will fall on deaf ears! Why, because, it

was Candidate for President Obama, back in '08, who pointing out the preceding administration's perceived faults and deficiencies, in turn his planned corrections and efficiencies. That in turn supposedly got him elected! Four years later we are in a worse

place than when he and his administration took office: fiscally, socially, economically, nationally and internationally! The numbers, the results, speak for themselves! If indeed a recovery was initiated, again by the numbers, this has been the slowest recovery ever, imperceptibly slow! And, as for his administration being Constitution abiding, the preservation of our American way of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness assured,

forgetaboutit!!
