A letter from a triple amputee Green Beret to our government

I know few will read this long disertation in its entirety but I send it along as a Veteran supporting the thoughts and prayers of a fellow Vet.: Don

 I write to you today regarding my concerns about the current state in which we find our beloved planet and your efforts in resolving the many issues we face.Over the last decade, we have managed to allow our mighty position at the head of the table to dwindle down to a seat at the kids table, with our counsel being received as if it were that of a child making a suggestion on how to cure the world of evil: everyone thinks it is adorable, but no one takes it seriously.

To put it politely, you all are about as successful in global politics as an overweight middle-aged American with a severe case of tetanus trying to perform fellatio on himself.

Understanding that you have the attention span of indigenous forces undergoing rifle training, I give you the options of either reading this letter in its entirety or simply skipping to the last two paragraphs.

Sadly, you neither get the reference about indigenous forces (ask your college educated SMEs and think tanks) nor are you capable of making a decision on what to do next. Go ahead and post a tweet asking for thoughts/advice and hashtag this out with the others. #hashtaggingworldproblemsisabsurd #noseriouslystopit #itisridiculousandembarrassing You have time, this letter will still be here.
Due your ineptitude in your decisions with regard to who we back with foreign aid, and your complete lack of a spine in dealing with global threats, we find ourselves, for the first time in ages, being looked at with eyes filled with disdain and disrespect.

The mere mention of ‘America’ leaves a bad taste in the mouths of our friends and allies. The prospects of being saved by our once-great nation are now nothing more than a fleeting thought in the hearts and minds of Third World Country natives who dream of a life with fewer hardships than ones they currently face—hardships that could be vanquished by the hands of a great nation and its allies.
We have entered into a time in which it is not only possible to spread one’s hate filled rhetoric, it is also actually profitable and protected. Your understanding and misinterpretations of our founding freedoms are being used and twisted to further your own political agendas without any consideration for the people you are meant to represent.

Your understanding (or lack thereof) of our Constitution contributes to the complete madness of a country that is run where someone’s rights to desecrate the flag that represents these very freedoms is more important than the patriotic peoples who stand to protect it. Allowing people to lose houses or be fined for flying the American flag on their property due to it offending someone or being against a housing covenants is beyond ludicrous. It’s both absurd and frightening. These are just a few examples of countless rights that are being used to tear the very fabric of which this country is founded.

You see, all of you have forgotten the very key that makes this country work. You fight for one’s freedoms to express their beliefs regardless of where their loyalties lie. Using our very own founding documents, you argue that it is ones right to speak and act freely on their beliefs, regardless of their view of this great nation.

For fear of offending someone to pure political motivations, you stand up for the very people that wish to tear you down. What you, as well as most Americans have forgotten is this: Those individual rights end where others begin! It may be ones right to protest a certain religions display or another’s stance on certain political views, however, it is also the others right to display and have those stand points.

If one is offended by a shirt displayed with an image of a gun, a flag of our nation, a statue representing their faith in their chosen religion or any other example; that is their right to be offended and speak out. However, it is the others right to wear that shirt, fly that flag, display that statue or whatever else they wish to do. Freedom cannot be one-sided. The complete madness of political correctness is overwhelming.

You have stripped away our 1st Amendment rights by disguising it as political correctness and making the very people that make this country great afraid of offending any and everyone. I use these examples in our own country as the catalyst that has spawned our current position on the global stage.
Through political motivation or just complete incompetence, your methods of governing our country have clouded your views and thought processes for helping forge a united world. We stand at the table, with weak knees and shivering hands. Our word as a nation holding as much weight as that of our President doing curls in the gym. We have all seen the video…We live in a world where you can contest our very lands with flyovers without consequence. A world where one can sweep through two entire countries, massacring everyone along the way with no fear repercussions. One where sanctions and empty threats are wielded as a mighty sword against the very enemies that threaten our existence. You fail to see that in today’s world, the pen is not mightier than the sword.

You have demonstrated this time and time again over the last 13 years. Take Afghanistan for example. Politics alone have been the source of Taliban resurgence. How could this be? Let me school you. In 2001, a mixture of CIA, Special Forces and other Special Operations Forces (SOF), in very limited numbers, swept through the entire country of Afghanistan, demolishing the Taliban forces that stood in its way. Thinking that the back had been broken, we backed off and brought more and more ground forces in the country.

As time went on, more and more troops arrived and operational control was taken away from the Special Operations types, to make way for conventional commands. Along with this came more and more restricted Rules of Engagement.Fast forward to 2006. Following more political moves and further NATO control, we found ourselves in an Afghanistan where the freedom of movement for the insurgents is unprecedented in Operation Enduring Freedom—a freedom of movement that not only limits NATO troops ground movements, but also has even the hardest of SOF elements avoiding a drive into Kandahar City. So, NATO asked the US to help. Enter into the timeline, Operation Medusa.

US Special Forces demolished the insurgent forces to the point that insurgent operations in the entire country dropped. The morale of the insurgents also dropped to an all time low, the grounds upon which the new Afghan Government stands, are once again sturdy. Now, fast forward to present day…
What has happened? Are the insurgents in Afghanistan fleeing and backs broken? Far from it. All of this due to your politics. The war effort drawn down to a near standstill due to more and more pointless commands and approval process. All, in which serve to help some pointless commander to further his career and push some pointless political agenda.

You see, the current world in which we find ourselves isn’t one that can be tamed by the pen. The evils of the world find protection behind the shield of your politics. This is due to one simple fact. You have no clue how to play this game. You listen and make decisions based of your Subject Matter Experts who read about war in a book. You base your strategies on the opinions of ‘Think Tanks’ and conventional wisdom. The answers to these problems being spoken by the men on the ground only to be silenced by ‘yes men’. Due to this, you will continue to fail.

Not only will you fail in Afghanistan, you will fail in bringing peace and security back into this world. All of these failures will be caused by you because of one simple factor: none of you have the intestinal fortitude to do what is necessary. You will use your own misguided experiences and delusions gained in your failures in governing our own country as the grounds on which you base your strategies. But understand this, you can’t defeat evil with butterflies and rainbows. And you sure as hell can’t do it with pens and empty words.

Face it, for the most part, our Foreign Policy is a joke and your efforts on the global stage are nothing short of pathetic. Not going into the fact that you all are voted in for the people by the people to do a job, a job in which you are failing. At least you all aren’t receiving a ridiculous paycheck and benefits package for providing a public service. oh wait…

Our saving grace is that there are still a handful of you that will find this, as frustrating as it is, accurate and motivating. But, then again, if that was the case, then we wouldn’t find ourselves in this situation. Oh the conundrum. We have faith in our abilities as a nation. We have faith in our abilities in unconventional war as well as faith in our ability to destroy the current threats to the world given the freedoms and support required to do so.

So, I write to you today calling you out. You have failed. It is time to hand that Capri Sun and straw over before you put your eye out. You’ve been poking at that hole for some time now. You gave it your best lil buddies, but it’s time. Pull those trainers up around your waist, latch down the Velcro, and watch how real men fight wars.

It is time to unleash the hounds. You have had over a decade of war filled with warriors that would gladly step up and fight. These former service members are battle hardened and ready. More importantly, they understand the game. We stand at the gates, waiting to smite all that is evil in this world. You will not defeat the current evils in this world by playing your political chess games because it is spreading at an alarming rate. Unleash us. Back us. Stand behind us.

History has shown us that evil is only successful when the righteous stand aside and do nothing. Let us show the world that it will not tolerate the likes of ISIS or Boko Haram. That there most certainly are repercussions for committing atrocities. Justice will come to them swift and brutal. Step aside and let us do what is necessary! We stand ready!”

That’s definitely going to sting a little. This Green Beret is absolutely spot on.
It’s time for the spineless politicians in office to do their job to keep this country safe, and that starts with coming out and acknowledging who your enemy is, not playing these silly political correctness games with the acronym of terror groups beheading people and persecuting religious minorities.
Strong and swift action must be taken immediately to shut down ISIS, and that means airstrikes and ground troops. If action isn’t taken soon, the Islamic State will eventually carry out a successful attack killing hundreds, possibly thousands of Americans.

Lets win for a change

How can we win in the Middle East.  It will take unfettered ground troops with strategy to win not being held to political correctness.  Using a combination of American troops and unrelenting airpower to overwhelm and collapse their command centers.  When a town is taken the people are invited out to vote on the disposition of the captured enemy once and for all.  As the battle ends in each village and town, bring in the CB’S to rebuild the infra structure and put the town back together and let the people elect new local governments.  It’s time to treat terror with terror.

 I have no doubt that man for man our military can out gun, out run and out smart any terrorist army they face if the reigns of political strategy are cut & they are allowed to fight like our troops were allowed to in WWII.  For too long our politicians have throttled any opportunity for our military to win with their impossible to follow, rules of engagement.  When our military is asked to risk their lives they deserve the right to be able to have the opportunity to win.  Ask any Warrior and they will tell you that we have more losses due to these rules of engagement than anything else.  The idea that we have to play by strict rules & the enemy doesn’t even understand our rules is ridiculous. 

God Bless America & God Bless our Troops   

God continues to challenge us

God challenged us on September 11^th 2001 & our then President George Bush, took up his challenge, rallied our people and carried our tattered banner into battle.  God again challenged us on September 11^th 2012 & our President Barrack Obama & accomplice Hilary Clinton took turns hiding behind a video that was irrelevant.  God once again challenged our humanity as we were forced to watch two innocent Americans beheaded at the hands of a Muslim murderer.  The President played a round of golf until the polls pushed him to the podium.  Once there he told our enemy that they didn’t have to worry about any American boots on the ground, something they fear more than the bombs.  He gave them notice to move their operation because in a few weeks we would be bombing the old ones in Syria.  All Presidents should be required to first serve in the military, man or woman, it’s the only way they will ever understand what it means to love something enough to willingly give your life for it. 

Every time he telegraphs our moves he risks the lives of those who so gallantly serve.  Our forefathers must be rolling in their graves at the thought of such an incompetent nincompoop we have elected as Commander in Chief.  Limited warfare has never worked as proven in Viet Nam & Korea.  The lack of the will to win by our politicians cost thousands of lives rather than a victory & left America weaker in the process.   The lesson of the surge that the President was definitely against, showing his contempt for military logic by lowering the number requested by 25% has been lost on this Commander in Chief.  The surge eventually as worked as planned but took longer because of the reduction in numbers, the lack of adequate troops also caused more casualties in the long run according to the military.   Overwhelming your enemy and forcing them to capitulate defines war.  There is no such thing as collateral damage when fighting to win against those who would willingly hide behind their own people.  Judge it by the mentality of a mother who would strap a suicide bomb on her 5 year old for the sake of Allah.

I know, in many minds I’m just a warmonger, but if wanting to win quickly and with the least amount of American losses and get the problem over with is wrong, then I guess I am just a warmonger.  Maybe as the next city here in the United States goes up in flames by the hands of  radicalized Muslims, a few more of you will become war mongers too.

Okay, now I’m getting mad!

No, not the insane kinda’ mad. The SEEIN’ RED kinda’ mad! It’s not unexpected: I’ve been fighting it for about six years now but yesterday I saw something on the news that finally made me want to kick the wall (never the dog) and shout impolite words. On TV yesterday I saw a bunch of (and watch out for the political incorrectness that’s coming your way)  loony-toons carrying signs demanding $15 an hour for entry-level workers at fast-foods joints.

Obviously the crowd wasn’t divided according to population – the 12% African minority probably accounted for over 90% of those in attendance. Their shouted epithets broadly indicated they were not candidates for the English as a First Language award.

You probably noticed right off I said “African” and not “African-American.”  The only people who can rightfully use that hyphenated nationality are those with dual-citizenship. The rest are either Africans or Americans and must decide which and conduct themselves accordingly. I’m not a European-American. You’re not a “Whatever-American.” We can’t have it both ways. Like Hemingway said, we’ve gotta be either beast or foul. “Beast-Hyphen-Fowl” is not acceptable. I'd guess not one out of every 1,000 black Americans also has African citizenship. I’m aware that statement will cause the hair to rise on the necks of the “political correctness” nuts. They’ll hurry to respond with accusations like “racist” and “Bigot.”

Know what?  I couldn’t care less!  And know why? Well --

These finger-pointers simply don’t have a clue. To begin with, a “racist” is someone who believes that members of certain races have distinctive characteristics. This then possibly involves the idea that one’s own race is somehow superior to all others. In “enlightened correctness” (as opposed to political correctness) racism is an understandable “general characteristic” of ALL races on this planet. Everyone with an ounce of pride can't help but be prejudiced.

Checking with Noah Webster, a “bigot is “Someone who is intolerant of any creed, belief or opinion that differs from his own.” My goodness, doesn’t that sound just like an Obama liberal? Those exact people who are quick to point an accusing finger are often the biggest racists and bigots of all!

My second reaction to those protesters was, I hoped that most of those dingbats (and I can’t even guess where they were shipped in from) never set foot in a fast-foods restaurant in my neighborhood. From the looks of many of those sign-toters, I’d hate to eat the food that they had a hand in preparing. I'll stop there --  I'm getting close to profiling, and I'd hate to have them call me unconstitutional as well. (Although "unconstitutional racist bigot" does have a certain ring to it . . .)

                                                                                                                                           

Modern-day success is all too often measured solely in dollars and cents. In a Republic such as the United States, ambition and hard work are the acceptable, yet diminishing, path toward success. Using threats and force to get there are NOT a substitute for the American way. Such demonstrations as we are seeing are a form of intimidation that can quickly develop into a physical confrontation. What do you consider “If you don’t give in to our (unreasonable?) demands, we’ll put you out of business”? How much does that differ from pointing a gun and saying, “Give me your money or I’ll shoot you”?  Actually, it's not too far different  …  just using a more direct approach. How often have we seen orderly coercion jump to physical mayhem (old enough to remember the Watts Riots of the 1960s?)

It is not unusual for American home owners or renters to have their lawns mowed by self-proclaimed landscapers. It is not unusual for these services to be performed by independents who drive pickups and hire “casual laborers.” Now what if your own lawn-mower were to appear in front of your house one morning with a bunch of workmen you’d never seen before all carrying signs that said, “We want $100 an hour to mow your lawn!” You’d likely call one of the other lawn-mowers in your town and tell him to come by. It wouldn't be that easy if the government and a union were helping him. Okay, that’s likely a poor simile, but you get the point. And the franchisee that owns your local hamburger joint is powerless to resist a government edict.

I'm not going to finger-point and use the word "unAmerican" but individuals and organizations that move to restrict job-availability aren't helping get us out of the predicament we're in. The BLS reported that in August 142,000 jobs were created. That is .00044 in percentile-speak. That would be like the entire County of Los Angeles hiring the big toe of one worker in a month. What’s worse, the BLS had to use their magic wand to put 80,000 of those supposed new workers into the equation. To save you counting on your fingers, that makes the real total for the month of August only 62,000 new jobs. In L.A. County, that wouldn’t even make a toenail on a worker. In the entire nation, zip!

A scant 62.8 of the labor force have jobs. There is a Real 12% unemployment. The country is in the worst financial shape since the Great Depression. Yet, the unions are hiring protesters with dirty hands to threaten a bunch of small franchisees with possible extinction if they don’t get a $15 an hour minimum wage. Where’s the fairness in this? Have the unions -- along with the entry-level workers -- lost their minds? To satisfy this outrageous demand, the average fast-food restaurants would have to raise their prices by 38% and/or fire workers. Even then, their profits would generally plummet by nearly 80%. Friends, these idiots are basically trying to force small-businesses to commit suicide!

Those few legitimate fast-food workers that are protesting are being used as unwitting stooges by unions who pay the remainder of the mobs to join the marchers. These same unions once played a beneficial role in the development of America. Today, they’re purposely accelerating the decline of American business.

Is it any wonder I get mad?!  Oops! Is anger now on the list of political incorrectness? What's next, thinking?

 

It's getting pretty deep

A note from a friend;

Dear readers:

I’m probably not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but every day I take the time to
read every advisory service I feel is objective and worthy. After separating the
wheat from the chaff, and when the results warrant, I share with you the salient –
and undiluted -- facts. And political correctness be damned!

This morning we got our weekly BLS (just BS?) employment stats. They reported
that we’re still hanging at a 6.1% unemployment rate. The average Americans,
who barely have time to brush their teeth what with jobs, kids, houses to maintain,
chores, bills, etc, etc, etc, take a quick glance and say, “Hey, we’re still improving!”

Uh-uh! Hey, grab your water-wings and swim with me through the garbage that
our government dumps by the barge-load into every body of water in the U.S.

First off, that 6.1% is a manufactured pile of camel doo. I watch the numbers every
week and it is obvious they spin a wheel or throw darts to come up with a number.
Harsh words, Ron. Yeah, but they’re true. Take a look at the truth.

In the U.S. we have what’s called a “labor force.” Briefly, that’s the part of our
population that want to work and, if factors allow, do work. As our population
increases every day of the year, that number should increase. But over the last 6
years, and according to the BLS, the labor force has shrunk. Huh?

Quickly, ‘cause I can tell you’re getting edgy: A few years back the White House
instructed the BLS to change its method of determining unemployment. The
numbers were getting too large. So they dropped those who had been unemployed
for a certain length of time. Then they added to the “working” those who were
forced to take part-time jobs. In simple terms, they dropped a whole bunch of
disheartened workers from the equation. Then they began adding "seasonal
adjustments" that didn't actually follow any season.

Good friends, the BLS is shining a rosy light on a dead fish. TODAY only 68.2% of
America’s workforce is working !!! That's nearly one-third of Americans who
want a job -- need a job -- have one. Our REAL unemployment percentage is above9%. In some states it’s 11 or 12%. And the real problem is, IT ISN’T GETTING BETTER!

Why do I tell you this? Because the water is getting deeper and our “lifeguards” are
all home on vacation. Even when they’re on duty, they don’t have a clue how to save
us. I'm sure many of them can't even swim. Many of them come up for “rehiring” in
November. Do something. PLEASE!

The Dreamer

Obama is a dreamer who has little regard for the reality of the world, only what he wants it to be.  He has shown this in his inability to work across party lines to solve even the most insignificant problems if they do not follow his philosophical beliefs.  Look at his background; raised by a communist grandfather, mentored by a communist in Hawaii.  A father who was a anti colonist who hated the power of the English.  His step father was an Indonesian Muslim who sent him to a Muslim school in Jakarta.  Educated by the likes of Cloward and Piven, Columbia professors who wrote the handbook for changing America to a Socialist State.  His education includes the writing’s of Sol Alinsky author of Rules For Radicals.  The same Sol Alinsky that played a major role in the education of Hilary Clinton in her radical anti war days.  The far left is so enthralled by the world of political correctness that they find it impossible to understand that there are just plain bad people in the world that need to be removed.  The threat posed by the Islamic extremists Isis is real yet we are hesitating to act aggressively to remove this murderous element.  Bombing a few pickup trucks in the desert won’t deter the threat only anger them further.  They understand one thing, power and a willingness to use it.  Our Intelligence knows where they are and our military knows how to hit them hard yet we again hesitate.  

Our Military has been systematically weakened by the forced resignations of key leaders.  The Obama administration has shown little regard for our long term safety here in the United States.  Their main objective is to create a utopian non militarized socialized state.  This hasn’t worked anywhere in the world and in fact both China and Russia have taken a path far more capitalistic than our leadership.  Large portions of the middle management, the Majors and Colonels of our Army & Marines have received pink slips at a time when we should be building our forces to protect us from this threat.  Our Naval fleet has been in a hold position for several years, no new Aircraft carriers or sub’s.  Our aircraft are designs from the 60’s & 70’s in most cases and we have pulled our forces back to the point of isolationism.

The other threat we face is the Russian aggression into The Ukraine.  Putin has his eyes on the re-establishment of the Soviet Empire and is not afraid of the timid actions of our administration.  We have procrastinated giving weapons to the Ukraine’s or have we shared intelligence with them.  Our Allies in the area have reason to be worried and find little solace in the words of a President they don’t trust to back them up.  The United States has always been the leader of the Free World and right now we have a world without a leader.

Are we headed for revolution#2

Are we headed for Revolution #2?  When the government is controlled by one ideology and it is adverse to the general opinion of the population something has to give.  We have always had our differences between party’s but the divide has now been fueled by racism and the socialistic concept that everyone should share in the wealth of the nation whether they have worked to build it or not.  The President has promoted racism in his actions whether it be the Trayvon Martin statement “ if I had a son he would look like Trayvon”., the dumb Cambridge police overreacted because the professor was black beer summit, or the latest in the Brown case, where he sent 3 White house emissaries & Al Sharpton to the funeral and  Atty. General to Holder to personally investigate and convict the officer without a proper due process.   The white liberal establishment has bought into this rhetoric lock, stock & barrel.  A black conservative or even a black middle of the roader is considered an Uncle Tom and chastised in this government.  Everyday white Americans who lived through the days of obvious racism of the 50’s and 60’s and fought to bring an end to its ugly blight on America are watching the result of all the anti poverty programs and the affirmative action plans that were supposed to bring a quality of life to the black community.  What has actually happened is that a whole segment of the society has learned to live a separate and substandard life in ghettos rather than assimilate into American society.   Each generation developing a deeper distrust for the mainstream even to the point of  allowing a subculture to dominate their thinking and their way of life.  The President and the Atty. General have used this division when it was convenient to expand their socialist policies.  In each case there were flaws in their actions;  when photo’s of the real Trayvon emerged rather than the innocent schoolboy image it painted a different picture.  When the truth came out on the Cambridge incident the President was forced to backtrack.  When the video of the strong arm robbery by Michael Brown came out they whitewashed the incident and blamed to police for besmirching the dead youth.  When looters from outside Ferguson who could care less about Michael Brown destroyed business after business in Ferguson it was blamed on the overreaction of the militarized police assembled to prevent destruction.

I know I will be chastised for these comments because I am white but I make them because
I am an American first and concerned for all Americans.  The question I ask is why have so many from the black community been able to take advantage of the education opportunities offered and become hugely successful while so many find comfort in withdrawal into this subculture of violence and anti American hatred?  Race baiting and reverse racism is to me the worse crime that has been put upon the black community by some of its own leadership and until the cycle of government dependency is broken nothing will change.  The answers lie within the community itself, by bringing an assault from within on crime and reverse racism along with proper education including Charter Schools for those who want to succeed, will go a long way to solving America’s biggest problem.  We have wasted 2 generations of black American youth on programs that have forced a dependency on government rather than creating a desire to succeed.  So many claim that they can’t find a job but fail to understand that American business will never accept an education that includes the street language of Ebonics as their method of communication.  As has been proven by the white liberal establishment, welfare, affirmative action and free phones haven’t worked, it will take a revolution from within the black community to bring beneficial change.  Let us not waste another generation, America cannot afford to miss the next Dr. King or the black scientist who may find the cure for cancer.  We’ve wasted enough brilliant minds and it’s time for all children to be able to live up to their potential.      

The real war is between all civilization & barbarism

Key thought:  It is not a territorial conflict. It is a civilization conflict, or rather a war between civilization and barbarism.

By Dr. Arieh Eldad an M.D. at Hadassah Hospital in Israel

I was instrumental in establishing the "Israeli National Skin Bank", which is the largest in the world. The National Skin Bank stores skin for every day needs as well as for wartime or mass casualty situations.

This skin bank is hosted at the Hadassah Ein Kerem University hospital in Jerusalem where I was the Chairman of plastic surgery.

This is how I was asked to supply skin for an Arab woman from Gaza , who was hospitalized in Soroka Hospital in Beersheva, after her family burned her.

Usually, such atrocities happen among Arab families when the women are suspected of having an affair.

We supplied all the needed Homo-grafts for her treatment. She was
successfully treated by my friend and colleague, Prof. Lior Rosenberg and discharged to return to Gaza.

She was invited for regular follow-up visits to the outpatient clinic in Beersheva.

One day she was caught at a border crossing wearing a suicide belt. She meant to explode herself in the outpatient clinic of the hospital where they saved her life.

It seems that her family promised her that if she did that, they would forgive her.

This is only one example of the war between Jews and Muslims in the Land of Israel. It is not a territorial conflict. It is a civilization conflict, or rather a war between civilization and barbarism.

 

Bibi (Netanyahu) gets it, Obama does not.

Ferguson

My heart is torn for America as our politicians have capitulated to the rioters rather than wait for the results of the investigation.  I don't care if you are Black, White, Brown or Yellow the law is firm on the subject.  A person is innocent until proven guilty, you would think a Governor, State Senator and the U.S. Attorney General would know that.  The easiest way to solve the witness testimony is to give every witness a lie detector test.  If they are telling the truth they should have no problem with that.  If this becomes a railroad of the officer every police person in the country should go on strike, the next action could be against you.

Mr. President 5 things to save America

President Obama, the following are the steps needed to put our country back on track;

1.    1..  Withdraw from the United Nations and give them notice to move their headquarters asap.  The U.N. is a corrupt agency that does more harm to the world than good.  Without U.S. support it will wither and die.  Name just one significant program that it sponsors that is not anti United States.  The Human Rights Commission is a joke with the worst offenders in charge.  The Hamas rockets in the U.N. chartered school is just one more example of the anti western attitude.

2.      2.  Pull back the A.C.A. or Obama Care as they call it and allow a bipartisan committee to evaluate and recommend its replacement.  This committee should be made up of Doctors, legislators and insurance companies and they should be charged with the setting the guidelines for change.  You will still be known as the president who brought health reform to the country but it will be health reform we can understand and live with.

3.      3.  America is and always has been the leader of the free world, I can’t imagine why you would want to change her standing in the world but you have.  Allowing the far left of your party to dictate policy and reducing our military to substandard availability when we have threats from the Far East, Russia and of course the Middle East will go down as the worse case of capitulation in American history.  The only way this world remains somewhat safe is through American power and the fear of our enemies that we will use our power.  Without a superior military we will be fighting on our own shores probably before your term is up.

4.      4.  Close our borders and make it known they are to be closed by using the Coast Guard in

The lakes & rivers and the Marine Corps and Army on the border areas of Texas, Arizona & California.  It’s time to arm our borders against the Drug Cartels making it clear that there will be no easy passage.  This will discourage illegal’s from trying to come also as they won’t want to get caught in the crossfire.   Post signs in border area’s announcing the fact that our military has orders to shoot, strafe or bomb any unauthorized movement in the area.  Drones, helicopters and f18’s on patrol along with a Coast Guard contingent on the lakes and rivers that are allowed to use discretionary force to stop border crossings.   

5.      5.  Immigration reform should make allowances for those who have not broken our laws and have been here for more than 10 years.  They should be given green cards and not allowed on our welfare, social security or any other program set aside for citizens of America.  They should be put at the end of the line for citizenship allowing legal immigrants to go before them.  Commit a felony crime and they will be deported and all their possessions will be seized by the State.  Get caught coming back and they will be given an automatic life sentence in a secured work camp.

Five little things that would make your legacy something to be proud of, don’t take these things seriously and you will go down as the worst President in our history and set back Black achievement for decades.   

Lest we forget

 

     LEST WE FORGET . . .
A goldfish has an attention-span of about 3 seconds. A sparrow remembers for some 5 minutes. I hope you'll find it in your warm hearts to forgive this old man for saying, but the average American doesn't exceed those numbers by all that much. Chalk it up to too many things going on in our lives. Or who knows what? Maybe there's some things people just don't want to remember.

Psychology professors tell us that memory is stored in the left hemisphere of the brain (is that the temporal lobe?) and maybe that "storage cabinet" is able to hold only a limited amount at one time. Whatever the reason, we tend to remember a bunch of trivia and quickly forget unpleasantries . . . and where we put the car keys.

Over the past few years, the United States of America has undergone a change in spirit both at home and abroad. This has not been in the best interests of not only our current population, but will have a dreadful effect on the lives of at least the next two generations – quite probably more of our future generations. In just a few short years, American government  has suffered embarrassments, scandals, and regularly proven itself to be willing to lie, cheat and even steal to provide for its voters' favors.  As a result, our international leadership has fallen to an historic low and we’ve become known for such ignoble things as:

                                                           •   The Obamacare disaster, with the president making laws (that only Congress
                                                                can legally pass), then unilaterally changing those laws to satisfy his frequent
                                                                whims. 
                                                           •   “Fast and Furious” furnished guns to drug smugglers and criminals.  Again,
                                                                laws are made for every American to obey, and does not exempt elite and
                                                                hand-picked members  of our government.
                                                           •   The Benghazi massacres and Washington's denying responsibility for an
                                                                unforgivable breach of leadership.
                                                           •   POTUS  unilaterally releasing five vicious Muslim terrorists in exchange for one
                                                                alleged military deserter, then criminally failing to notify Congress (I won't
                                                                dwell on the fact that when I was in the wartime military over a half-century ago,
                                                                desertion would have gotten me court marshaled and shot).
                                                           •    The illegal utilization of the IRS to punish innocent Americans.
                                                           •    The VA scandal. A level of greed in government where hunger for bonuses and
                                                                 other forms of self-indulgence caused the Veterans’ Administration to harm
                                                                 and even cause the death of military veterans.
                                                           •    NSA spying on American citizens. The CIA spying on Congress. The U.S.
                                                                 government spying on its few allies in the world.
                                                           •    A dismal failure to secure our borders against ANY illegal entrants whatsoever.
                                                                 Today it is far easier to carry a virus or a dirty-bomb into the United States than
                                                                 to bring in a bagpipe with ivory keys (ask me about this outrage).
                                                           •     National Labor Relations Board replacements made illegally by presidential
                                                                 executive-order using a dimly lit rule regarding congressional absence (and
                                                                 reluctantly overturned by the Supreme Court).
                                                           •    ...AND AN UNENDING LIST OF INCOMPETENT FOREIGN-POLICY BLUNDERS
                                                                THAT WOULD EASILY FILL THE REMAINDER OF THIS PAGE.

                                                                                                                                                                   
  

Fess up (hey, we're among friends)! How many of you have all of the above at your left-brain fingertips? Or have you already moved on to what's in store for today's weather or how great the anchovy pizza was last night? If so, you're leaving an awful lot of dire problems in the hands of a bunch of nincompoops in Washington to solve. And, hey, they're all on vacation! They haven't time to worry about ebola or an invasion at our southern border or Putin invading Ukraine or ISIS spreading jihad throughout the world or Iran putting the trim on the missiles their going to fire on Manhattan.  "No how, this is August and we always go home and fish in August." ...or is it  play golf ?

So let’s you and I do something uncommon -- let’s view us through the eyes of our international neighbors. For starters, listen to an unbiased and respected “spectator” from a foreign nation, the former premier of the Czech Republic, Vaclav Klaus. Mr. Klaus publicly stated the following without having to concern himself with this ridiculous “political correctness” restriction that has been forced upon the American people. Listen to what Mr. Klaus has to say about us. Sadly, his words epitomize the sentiments of most of the World, both friend and foe (do we still have a friend out there?). Read what he has to say:

     “The danger to America is NOT Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency.  It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president." -- Vaclav Klaus 

In my mid-eighties, as neither an uncompromising Conservative nor a radical Liberal, and without my mincing words, Premier Klaus is absolutely correct. It is my considered opinion we currently have the most inept, the most detached, and the most threatening occupant of the Oval Office in our 238 year history.  It is somewhat understandable the American electorate made him president in 2008, but after four years of missing the mark, to return him to office in 2012 bordered on lunacy. On the eve of his first election, he stated to the public his intentions to fundamentally change a nation that had been number one in just about every category for well over two centuries . . . and he's succeeded! To allow one misguided man to destroy excellence speaks volumes to the degeneration of the American population. Or maybe we can keep blaming it on overcrowded temporal lobes . . 

From a friend of this blog

American spirit isn't dead yet.

I just read the story that was reported by Glen Beck about the Vet whose wheelchair broke down at Lowes.  It was a feel good story for a change about how some of the employees took the time to tear into the chair and fix it.  The Veteran lost both his legs in Viet Nam and had been waiting for the VA to get him a new chair for months.  I truly commend the folks at Lowes who took the time to help but isn’t this what we should expect from fellow Americas.  Have we lost our compassion for people who are in distress.  Have we reached the point where we expect the government to solve all our problems?  This Veteran has every right to expect the VA to take care of his problem and I say shame on the poor system that let him down and the bureaucrats that allowed it to get to the point where it no longer seems functional.  Is this what we can expect from the government’s handling of the Affordable Care Act?  We as Americans have always had one thing that makes us different and that is our willingness to reach out when we see a problem.  This is what got us through the depression and two world wars, friends and neighbors willing to help those who were in need.  Now with a government run not by the people but by the same bureaucrats that have destroyed the Veterans Administration we need each other more than ever.
