Nothing new under the sun
“The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.” ~ Cicero, 55 BC
Unbelievable
Take your time and read these three short paragraphs. Especially focus on the wording and message in the third paragraph.
Education experts blasted a recent Department of Justice directive, which they say seems to advocate a racial quota system for punishing school kids for such transgressions as being late or chewing gum in class.
The memo, jointly released by the departments of Justice and Education on Wednesday, urges public schools to ditch so-called “zero tolerance” policies the feds claim disproportionately affect minority students. The letter, which was sent to all public schools, said even well-intentioned policies are discriminatory if they end up being applied in greater proportion to minority children.
“Schools … violate Federal law when they evenhandedly implement facially neutral policies and practices that, although not adopted with the intent to discriminate, nonetheless have an unjustified effect of discriminating against students on the basis of race,” read the letter. “Examples of policies that can raise disparate impact concerns include policies that impose mandatory suspension, expulsion, or citation (e.g., ticketing or other fines or summonses) upon any student who commits a specified offense — such as being tardy to class, being in possession of a cellular phone, being found insubordinate, acting out, or not wearing the proper school uniform.”
2 cents:
1. Schools have been put on notice that the DOJ may pursue charges against schools that fairly, neutrally, even handed – all the same plane – practice of punishing disobedience, not following the school’s rules. Gee – what happens with punting accountability to when they are of age to go to college or military or the workforce? Really!!
2. The implication of Holder’s comments are that minorities are the most disobedient. If a white person said that or implied that he or she would be on the screen of every liberal news show, tabloid, blog and paper as a racist. Where is Sharpton, Jackson and the racist hacks now? Why isn’t CNN and HLN running 24 hours on the racist remarks of the DOJ. Oh, I know why – Holder is not white. We all know (wink, wink) only white people can be racist.
A new coalition in response to USA removing military option from table
With the November 12th comments of Hussein Obama’s press secretary ““The American people do not want a march to war,” he told reporters. Therefore: “…spoiling diplomatic talks with Iran would be a march to war” – Iran, Israel and the world was given the subtle queue that the president of the USA had removed the military option from the table. Of course anyone who has actually been paying attention to the events of his administration and specifically – him – knew with reasonable certainty that they were not really an option in the first place. For those who were not paying attention the specific events and lack of backbone by the president in Benghazi and Syria SHOULD have made it abundantly clear.
With this backdrop reasonable leaders and their nations are scrambling to form a coalition to block if not thwart the USA’s apparent strategy. France is being given the option of aligning with the Middle East powers – Israel, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Egypt in effort to prevent Iran from realizing its nuclear weapon goal. At the same time Peres in Israel is trying to smooth relations between his nation and the USA. Netanyahu has tried to show the USA that its strategy is greatly flawed. Netanyahu undoubtedly knows that it will fall on the deaf ears of Hussein but he needs to go through the work so as to “cover his rear” with his nation and Knesset. As well I am sure he hopes to get this information in the ears and eyes of those officials elsewhere to boost resolve and maybe even add more nations to the coalition.
“Coincidentally” (I don’t believe in coincidences) Wednesday (one day following Carney’s remarks) news made it to my attention that Russia has agreed to help Iran build a second nuclear plant.
Hussein Obama’s apparent decision to prefer to align with Iran (told you it was coming) does provide Israel specifically Netanyahu with more freedom. Actually he had the freedom in the first place but making a poor decision to listen & believe Hussein Obama led to him staying in tow with Hussein Obama. Remember the next step in the diplomatic process will be the pressure and spotlight to be shifted away from Iran and onto Israel in reference to its nuclear program. It will happen and when it does the USA is declared clearly no longer an allied to Israel.
France stands in the gap
Apparently France is the only nation which is trying to ensure that Iran actually had to make substantial actions to get any sanctions relief which is telling to the discerning reader. The implication is that the USA and posse were willing to offer sanctions relief without much actual actions from Iran just words. So in our wacky world it was France that stood up for the best interests of the world, Middle East and Israel. “French opposition was focused on a draft text agreement that laid out a short-term deal to slow down or stop elements of the Iranian nuclear programme in return for limited sanctions relief. The French complained that the text, which they said was mostly drafted by Iran and the US, had been presented as a fait accompli and they did not want to be stampeded into agreement.”
Again proving to Netanyahu, Peres and the people of Israel that despite all the words Hussein Obama does not have Israel’s or the Middle East best interests at heart.
If France holds out and an agreement is not reached that makes Hussein Obama and John Kerry look like great leaders and peace-makers of the world ad nauseam, that we will see growing pressure on Israel via two paths. First in the Palestinian so called peace process and secondly for Israel to sign the UN nuclear proliferation’s agreement and rid itself of all nuclear weapons.
I think it is this second part which is key to Hussein Obama’s strategy to leverage/force Israel into accepting a nuclear Iran.
Obama’s failure, Americans’ failure
The inability of the majority of voting Americans to admit they made the wrong choice roughly six years ago has led to Hussein Obama having a second term. This second term is the continuation of failed policies and unethical practices of the current administration. These matters have led to loss of respect for our government by our allies as well as the damage if not severance of relationships with other nations. In my opinion this all reflects how the society of the USA has become narcissistic. Self-centered, vain and inordinate fascination with one’s own self. The first election the majority of voting Americans allowed themselves to be swept up in hype, not substance and voting in the second election between one’s own choice before and Romney as the alternative, they simply could not allow the conservatives of our nation and all the people around the world know that they massively screwed up.
Look at the fruit of Hussein Obama.
Obamacare (what an oxymoron), Benghazi (the deaths and cover-up), IRS targeting conservative groups, Iran’s first spring four plus years ago, apology speeches to muslims, mismanagement of the military, botching Egypt and their spring and then blowing it again two years later, Syria, Libya, Iran, Russia, Israel and the unethical and unconstitutional practices of the NSA. “Wherefore by their fruit ye shall know them.”
We see a Middle East where we once had strong allies and now they can not trust us. Saudi Arabia, Israel and Egypt know with high costs to their countries that the administration of Hussein Obama is hampered by their leader. Syria, Iran and Russia know exactly what they are dealing with and how to easily out maneuver the hack. Netanyahu unfortunately placed Israel’s existence in the hands of Hussein Obama and now the little nation is backed into a corner. I would not want to be Bibi or Peres right now. I would not want to be a Jew in the nation of Israel right now.
Honestly, what would you do if you knew your neighbor plans to kill you and your family? Call the cops? And what if your cop is a pre-school child with a badge on? What then?
Shame on the majority of voting Americans for allowing this monstrosity to be a two term president.
If you voted for him, you are branches of his roots. You are complicit in all of this.
