Focus domestically

The government of the USA has more than enough matters domestically that requires attention and/or funds to either create or improve so why not focus on those? Why spend dollars and other resources for a civil war in Syria, especially when your choice to back is the group that has blatantly and repeatedly pledged its allegiance to Al Qaida? Why continue funneling dollars (aka support) to nations that are hostile to either our country and/or way of life (see Egypt, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Pakistan, etc.) Why aren’t our so-called leaders making wise and sensible decisions? This really is a no-brainer. Focus domestically! Our infrastructure is in bad shape and that is an understatement. For example:

  • the electric grid for our nation is outdated
  • many bridges and roads have not been updated/repaired/serviced
  • cellular and broadband access shouldn’t have dark spots
  • even irrigation improvements for farms and parks needs to be evaluated.

I am sure there are many more matters I am missing.

As far as political mines we have border security, making us oil-independent, alternative energy needs – surely you see the point. FOCUS DOMESTICALLY.

I am not one who supports the idea of a UN — BUT — since it is there, don’t you think the matters in Syria should fall in their lap? If they are having a civil war – it happens. In civil wars, people die and eventually one is left standing and they rule the country. This is a matter for the UN and border nations. We have no business with Syria, so why are we going to meddle? Whatever side we pick we are allies with people who are aligned with terrorist organizations.

Sensible?

NSA is vacuuming in the millions of calls, email, internet communications DAILY all under the guise of identifying terrorists. [Wink, wink] Yet they are excluding MOSQUES! No – really! IBD Article on 6/12.

Now explain to me the sensible, wise reasoning behind such a strategy? Add to this the fact that “Since October 2011, mosques have been off-limits to FBI agents. No more surveillance or undercover sting operations without high-level approval from a special oversight body at the Justice Department dubbed the Sensitive Operations Review Committee.”

Another person involved in the Benghazi COVER-UP is getting a cushy role. CIA deputy director who played a key role in editing the administration’s controversial talking points is “retiring” to spend more time with family BUT he was immediately appointed by the Chief Empty Suit to serve on the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board which is an INDEPENDENT advisory board. [See “no oversight”] Remember Rice received the top UN job which did not require vetting or approval from Congress. See a pattern?

This evening – New York Times is reporting:

“American intelligence analysts now believe that President Bashar al-Assad’s troops have used chemical weapons against rebel forces in the civil war in Syria, an assessment that will put added pressure on a deeply divided Obama administration to develop a response to a provocation that the president himself has declared a “red line.”

The belief is chemical weapons have been used several times on a small scale.

WE NEED AN AMERICAN SPRING!

AN AMERICAN SPRING

IRS targeting Conservatives
Benghazi – WH’s blatant lies to Congress and citizens of the USA
Government privacy and first amendment breach against AP and Fox News.
Now – PRISM – privacy breech of ALL US citizens going on since current administration

2 cents:

This from a Democratic president – the one who was to bring change. Guess what – he has – obliteration of the Bill of Rights and Constitutional protection for all US citizens.

Of course the dems are saying this is Bush’s fault but anyone with an ounce of common sense realizes that this is yet another attempt to side step responsibility and accountability. Again common sense would be that if it is Bush’s fault then you are admitting it is wrong so the solution is easy – shut it down. But instead the same dems including the WH say that this is being blown out of proportion, there is civil liberties protection built in, yadda yada, which then implies there is no fault to be found – which would then mean – following the WH and dems statements – that Bush did something good and right.

What the reality of the situation is – per the bill’s author – is that the current administration has overstepped the bill’s premise and design.

Limbaugh article – the coup in America

Trying to rein in dragnet of WH

Noonan article – IRS did it too well not to know what it was doing

Bush’s fault

Additional 2 cents:

What is needed in the USA is an AMERICAN SPRING. We need the citizens to storm the Capitol, White House and State Capitals across our nation and protest and push for the immediate withdrawal of all corrupt and unconstitutional legislatures & government officials which certainly includes the executive branch of the federal government and replace it with people who embrace the original intent of our founding documents and will guarantee in word and deed the rights and freedoms of the citizens of the USA.

WE NEED TO DO THIS BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE TO ACT.

Quick update…

since I have the time…

NY Post story that O has made a secret deal to throw his support for a Hillary 2016 presidential run and Bill is twisting his arm to make sure he follows through.

US is arming Jordan due to the conflict in Syria.

It’s being reported by France that Israel believes Russian anti-aircraft missiles won’t be ready for delivery until early 2013. Why this update hasn’t been covered by Fox or CNN seems curious.

Middle East at the center

Russia, Syria and Iran desperately hope to provoke Israel into a bad move so as to unite the Arab voice against one common enemy – Israel. Hizballah wants all the weaponry possible from Russia as a means to punish Israel for existing. Iran needs Hizballah to be armed to the teeth in the need for retaliation if Israel attempts a strategic attack against the nuclear program in Iran. Syria is the disguise for these actions. Putin and Russia a long time ago cast their hat with the Muslims in the Middle East, I believe for two reasons: 1. Atheistic nation (Russia) sees Israel as a symbol tied to the existence of God. 2. Close customers to buy military weaponry produced in Russia who will deal with reason 1. Add to this mix of news that Russia is now planning to resume nuclear submarine patrols in the southern hemisphere seas after twenty years of quiet.

I have not been keeping up with the unrest in Turkey and the marches in the capital, but it does smell like something orchestrated by groups like the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamists because Erdogan does have a friendly relationship with Israel and the western world. In their eyes you can not be a good Muslim and have alliances with the infidels and great Satan. Turkey is a significant strategic point for current and future military and the like dealings with Iran, Syria and Russia. If I was a gambling man that is where and why I would put my money. What does that mean? Well one thing for certain, if you are a female in Turkey who appreciates freedom you better be looking to move to Europe or the USA. When the Islamists and MB get things swirling – the end result is strife, violence and loss of freedom (see Egypt and Iran for current examples).

Meanwhile the pathetic government in the USA is expecting more concessions from Israel in order to get their Palestinian agenda pushed through. If Israel is wise they will not bite. They are already hemmed in amongst a violent and often hateful region, there is no need to further hamstring themselves. Three more years and our chief empty suit of a president will be replaced HOPEFULLY by someone much more wise, fair, honest, ethical and Christian.

Republicans and Independents ARE to blame

Yes that is what it says. Put another way the Conservatives are to blame for the mess we have in our nation, capital and the vacuum of leadership in the White House.

Why?

Because they have not been able to produce at least one individual that is intelligent, collaborative, charismatic, engaging and strategic. They and we have not produced a person that has the potential to be a great leader for our country. Why is that? Are we to believe what the left says which is the bottom-line of quality conservative leadership is an oxymoron and an impossibility?

Is it because the so-called blue bloods are the only place that the powers that be (TPTB) look toward and they are all tainted? So another problem is the ridiculously limited scope of where they are looking for future leaders.

Is it because the money game has eliminated the best candidates since they are not tied to the money?

Is it because the practices of the media and left are so devastating to a person and their family that potential candidates have decided it is not worth it?

In my opinion all of these reasons still are tied to the poor leadership in the Conservative party. The problem is systemic in nature and requires swift surgical treatment so as to remove the tumors and cancer in the body of the Conservative body. So yes, they are to blame and sadly it seems the saying is true “physician heal thyself”.

Until they do people like our current president will be the people’s choice.
