BizzarObama

Vladimir Putin, former KGB agent and present President of Russia has the god-almighty balls to lecture the United States on “insufficient communication between our societies” concerning Syria and the use of violence. If the thought was ludicrous, the action is beyond absurd. But, that’s the state of affairs engendered by Obama, his weak-kneed policies and total lack of a coherent foreign policy in a world demanding strength, integrity and morality in political conduct.

False Fag operation

John Kerry, out of frustration and severely tested to remove his size 12+ hoof from his over-sized mouth demanded Bashar al-Assad fork over his entire stock of chemical weapons to internationally controlled intermediaries within one week or America would attack militarily. After saying the response would be an “unbelievably small, limited kind of effort” (a laughingly inept display of shiftless irritation and insincerity which undermined the rationale for any action at all), Vladimir Putin spun the roulette wheel and Bashar al-Assad dropped his chips declaring basically: “we can do this”. Putin and al-Assad snatched victory from the jaws of defeat and strutted to center-stage in this pathetic comedy Obama calls Foreign Policy.

Euphoria

After the British Parliament voted resoundingly to NOT help Beaurat Obama launch missiles into Syria to punish Bashar al-Assad, the Pentagon ordered British forces removed from the intelligence loop. The Pentagon didn’t feel Britain was dependable enough to be “read in” on the planning phases of the operation. It’s been seen as a slap to the face of one of our oldest allies.

Obama and his Mannequin

As Obama, Kerry, McCain and Graham walk around trying to convince the American public that Bashar al-Assad is not only a meanie and a bad, bad man for having gassed his own people if not outright killing them, it’s been noticed nobody is even broaching the possibility the Sarin Gas might have been used by Al Qaeda.

McCain’s ADD is rampant

As America debates the legality and morality of intervention in the Syrian civil war, one of our “greatest” (yeah Right!) war heroes is dedicating his full attention and gravitas to our possible military action. He plays video-poker on an iPhone while testimony is given in Congress. This was witnessed and recorded by a Washington Post photographer and published in their on-line edition.

The Pit

One must only look at how the British conduct their legislative business to appreciate the birthplace of American democratic process. One only needs to witness the manner in which Congress conducts America’s legislative business to ask the question; just where in hell did it all go wrong?

Dramedy of errors

Will Obama shoot across the Syrian’s bow or will he shoot himself in the foot; again?

Understand

I was privileged to receive a commentary from a lady in Texas. This happened after I made mention of the past couple of weeks having been more of a trial than a blessing. My correspondent was afraid I’d caught the Flu or some such indignity making me miserable. In fact the situation is worse than that and you’ll understand my fears and uncertainty for the future.

The blood of innocents

Is Obama the guy that was going to scuff out the imprint of America stamped almost irreducibly into the soil of foreign affairs across the globe? Or, is this the America Obama is fundamentally changing with his schizophrenic re-defined diplomacy? Is America a harridan forcing her ideals on all of her audience?

Displaced compassion

America’s caught in a terrible state of displaced compassion. Compassion is defined as: The understanding or empathy for the suffering or circumstances of another or others.

Crossing the Rubicon

"Crossing the Rubicon" means to pass a point of no return. Julius Caesar and his army’s 49 B.C. crossing of the river was obvious insurrection. He threw a gauntlet into the face of the Roman Senate and uttered the famous phrase; “the die is cast”. The rest is history.

From ink to pixels and bytes

What’s the most deadly poison available to kill a politician? The answer used to be ink. Now, we have computers and the Internet changing the answer to pixels and bytes of information explaining and challenging the politicians’ machinations. In the end result we have debate so we can educate people as to just how badly the politicians’ actions will affect them.

The Gallows we built

Cultures more refined than modern American culture see things through more patient eyes. Orientals see the world evolving through the “Thousand Year Plan” meaning the plan’s ultimate goals will be realized after a thousand years of hard work have passed. Native Americans believe the fruition of any idea planted comes after “Seven Generations”. The adage of “good things come to those who wait” is an axiom; not a theory.

Gamble wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn In a strange circumstance reminiscent of the “Back-to-the-future” © movie franchise, I find myself looking at an old, possibly geriatric column written to deal with the problems brought about by the Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2009 aka “ObamaCare”.

Democracy?

Democracy is a tough political format to defend. If you’re for it, then you want to spread the word and allow everybody to enjoy the benefits of freedom and the personal liberties derived from it. But, as I said it’s a hard format to defend. Witness Egypt.

The Remora

In an appearance on WFLA’s “The Morning Show with Preston Scott ©” in Tallahassee, Fla., Marco Rubio said “I have been saying now for over a year I believe that this president is tempted, will be tempted, if nothing happens in Congress he will be tempted, to issue an executive order like he did for the DREAM Act kids a year ago, where he basically legalizes 11 million people by the sign of a pen,” Rubio said. “We won’t get an E-Verify, we won’t get any border security — but he’ll legalize them. So what I have tried to do is come up with as best as possible, given who controls the Senate, a way to start this conversation to at least address some of these issues because it only gets worse as times goes on.” “Daily Caller (8-14-2013)

The strength of the beast

I’d like to give Entitlists (I know it’s not a real word) the same treatment as a golf ball (hit them very hard with a long, club-headed stick) but we must appear civilized. Notice I said “appear”. This differentiates between actually being civilized and looking like I am (which I’m not; always).

Weakest link

In the United States’ Intelligence Community (IC) there are more operations charged with the gathering of intelligence activity than you can shake a stick at. There are 16 organizations to be exact. These individual offices are both civilian and military organizations charged with accomplishing the same thing: gather information to be necessarily analyzed to assist in the conduction of foreign policy and defense of national security.

Air Freshener

It would make sense to be this weary if life presented the only “slings and arrows of outrageous fortune”. Unfortunately, we our government is populated by fools and tools.

Fleas and all

Ms. Sandra Bates RN (ret.) of Baton Rouge, in a Letter to the Editor of the Advocate stated:

“When will Americans realize that morality has very little to do with a man or woman’s ability to lead? In an ideal world, we would wish it so. But history has proven that is not the case. These constant uproars over sexual hi-jinks (sic) only serve to distract the public from the issues that truly matter. The fact is that the movers and shakers of this world are generally not the most morally circumspect.”
