Japan has rendered me speechless ,on more than one occasion,these last few days. This is the most horrific thing I have ever seen.I thought Haiti,the Tsunami from a a few years ago,Katrina were bad. This is the worst. My thoughts ,prayers and emotional support go out to my Japanese brothers and sisters. This is going to be a nightmare for months to come and they will need us.
I love how Michele Bachman ,while"campaigning" in NH tried to put the spin on her Tea Party affiliation. She was proud to be in the state where the shot heard round the world was....You know Lexington and Concord. I bet she saw Concord on a highway sign and BINGO....... Please ,please let her run!!!..Her next stop is Texas. She will be speaking at the Alamo and praising the victory there.
I am so disturbed by what is going on in Washington ,I want to shake someone!!
Peter King has the gall,to single out Muslims, as the Number 1 terror threat in the USA. Who on earth ,besides an bunch of racists,can actually support this?
He is conducting McCarthy type hearings. He is asking law abiding ,respectable members of the community to act as watch dogs. It has already been proven ,that they have been doing just that!They are just as disgusted as the rest of us,by terrorists. What this jerk has done,in reality, is amp up the hate against Muslims.
Meanwhile the Christian Whites are getting a free pass. Since 9/11 there have been 100-1 more White terrorist attacks in the USA than Muslim.They just arrested ,in Alaska , a "militia" group that is directly responsible for the deaths of seven police officers in the country. The guy in Spokane was going to blow up a parade . The "militia" in Az. that killed that little girl. The list goes on. How about the congressman from NY that supported the IRA ,back in the 90's. Oh, that was Peter King!!!
The Republicans have been crowing about their "huge" victory last November. Let's see what they have done.They have sent bill after bill to the Democratic controlled Senate. These bills have been overhauling the Health care. Wanting to cut all funding to NPR and PBS.They want to stop Planned Parenthood ,because they offer abortions.They don't ,but why let facts get in the way.They want to make it impossible for women to get abortions. Any woman! I am not real big on abortion, and am definitely not big on having it used as birth control. But you know what? Who cares what I think?It is legal and safe. If they get their way it won't be. Planned Parenthood has been a life saver for millions of womem, and they don't advocate abortion. They use it as a last resort, and do not do any on premises.You have to go to hospital and you have to pay for it yourself. No government assistance!!
Wisconsin, Fl.,Mich.,Ohio, are just a few of the states out to take our rights away. A couple of them have already succeeded. Republican governor's in all. It is plain as the nose on your face what the heck is going on. CONTROL The Walmart way of life.Low wages,cheap products and having them run the show.
The country stayed home in November and now the country is paying the price. My hope is ,though the country has wised up to these fools . If they haven't, we are all screwed.

What am I missing?
What am I missing? I am missing a President that promised to shut down Gitmo and isn't going to. A soldier who released confidential files that actually improved the world and is being tortured for his troubles. By the USA! A Sectretary of State who speaks about freedom of people being able to say what they want,as an elderly man is being ruffed up and arrested right in front of her.For turning his back!!!!
I am missing the whole Republican party!A "preacher" saying the President is in league with Mau Mau. That he spent his youth with his Muslim father. The "preacher" retracted it ,but the damage was done! How about we say the "preacher" spent his youth, hating Blacks, while living with his toothless, hillbilly father in Jed Clampett country? Another "man of faith" saying that the President has Kenyon leanings and is antiAmerican,while claiming he cheated on all of his wives, because of his passion for the country.And it is OK ,because he asked God's forgiveness and everything is cool now. Love those "family values"!
I am missing a govenor who has set back workers rights 50 years!Who has violated untold laws in doing so and feels that he is right!Anything to please his handlers!It is all about the budget. The one that was fine when he took over,but because of his tax breaks to his handlers is a mess now!.....In two months!!!
I am missing a Republican congress that campaigned on jobs and have spent the last 2 and 1/2 months on anything but! Who have spent their time trying to take away womens rights ,workers rights,and overall, the rights of people in general. But scream about Government being too big!!
I am missing anyone, in any type of power, connected with the Republican party to tell those moronic birthers to just SHUT UP!!.... The "leaders" hem and haw,but no one has said, go away ,to them, and the Mau Mau thing again rears it's ugly head.
I am missing the fact that billions of Muslim's are being persecuted for being Muslims. Love thy neighbor,as long as that neighbor prays to the same God as me.
Most of all, I am missing America!! If you happen to find her give me a hollor ,will you?

Why I will still vote for Obama
I have seen a lot of stuff about people being disenchanted with President Obama. I am one of those. I have seen a steady move to the right. I have been watching this for some time now. I have the feeling if I had paid more attention during the 2008 elections I wouldn't have been surprised. The fact was ,I was so against Bush ,and the Republican party in general,that I 100% embraced Obama. I didn't bother to check out the warts.If I had perhaps I wouldn't be so disillusioned now.
I have heard calls for a third party. I have heard Ron Paul mutterings .I have heard the Alan Grayson ,stuff. I firmly believe none of the above will work. Grayson,Wiener,Sanders are all worthy candidates in my mind .A few others also come to mind.I will take a good hard look after 2012. I think you would be cutting off your nose to spite your face to dump Obama now.The way this horrible system is set up ,there is not enough time to build a proper war chest for a viable candidate. Ralph Nader still leaves a bitter taste..
I don't want to her about what a great leader Obama is. About all the difficulties he has has to endure.He knew that when he took the job,and so didn't I. He promised to close Gitmo....not done...Iraq is still a quagmire.The health bill has more holes than a sieve. Afghanistan is out of control.He has done some really good things. He also has played right into Republican hands , way too much.
When I vote for him in 2012 ,it will much like I voted for Kerry in 2004. Not enthusiastically. Unlike 2008 ,when I did.

Let's stir the pot
I am probably gonna piss off a ton of people right now. So what's new?
I think this whole Wiki-Leak thing is a lot of BS. I think maybe 10% of it is good. We should always know when our country is acting illegal. If we are committing war crimes ,then scream it!OUT LOUD!If we are mistreating people,in the name of freedom,then again scream it! But I could give a rat's patooey about how we are talking about other countries!What does that have to do with anything? I could care less if Qaddafi is traveling around with a Brazilian nurse.
What I do care about is that "Saint" Julian is running around saying how everyone is out to get him and letting Private Manning rot in prison. If it wasn't for Manning, we would all be saying, Julian who? I have issues with what Manning did as in regard to the oath he took.Having said that, I think it took some damn courage to expose the helicopter fight waged on innocent civilians.I have no problem, as I have said, exposing any type of injustice we as a country are doing to innocent civilians.
If Assainge is innocent of the charges in Sweden, as he claims ,well then go back and deal with them. Stop crying "poor me" and as the expression goes ,MAN UP!Meanwhile Manning rots in jail with no money for his defense and "Saint" Julian just signed a million dollar book deal!He seemed to know what he was getting into, when he released this stuff, in the first place. He very well could be right ,and everyone is out to get him. It was a chance he took when he started this!
If it is true he has all kinds of stuff on the banks,again, I have no problem with that stuff also being exposed. Hidden torture camps we are using? Expose them!...Killing innocent Americans abroad?Expose them!.All I have seen so far though is a black eye for diplomacy and not a whole lot else.
In the immortal words of that old commercial:SHOW ME THE MEAT!!!
Otherwise, STFU!
