Less “bang” for the buck

Leave a reply

For those of us who insisted that Senator Obama was too inexperienced to be President, the current fiasco of whether to bomb Syria  is not a surprise.

Obama’s holier-than-thou attitude toward those of us who believe that freedom depends upon being stronger than your opposition, his policy of appeasement in bowing to every foreign leader he met, his lengthy speeches denigrating our great country and his dismantling of our military might,  were only a prelude to future problems.  And, Syria is just one of those problems that Obama’s inexperience has created.

His inexperience shows, among many areas,  in how he deals with foreign countries.  Russia, whom Obama assumed would fall victim to his own great charm, now opposes everything we propose to control Syria.   China warns us not to meddle in Syria.  Even the tin pot dictators in Syria, and their legions of thugs, mock us.  Could our stature as a world power be diminished any further?  Oh, yes,  even the UN — that hot bed of  self-serving intelligentsia that we support financially — has decided that THEY will tell us IF we can bomb Syria!

Now, America faces a paradox.  Would it be best to bomb Syria so Iran knows we mean business?  Would it be better to NOT bomb Syria to prevent civilian casualties which are guaranteed in any bombing strike?

These are questions that America would NOT be facing if Obama hadn’t foolishly thought that he could persuade foreign countries to do his bidding if only he talked enough!  Remember that dictators only kow-tow to those they fear.

These are questions America would NOT be facing if Obama hadn’t tried to grand stand and create a Red Line.  Remember, if you draw a line in the sand, and the “other guy” steps over it, you had better be ready to fight.

These questions are the direct result of electing a completely unqualified man to the Presidency.  Remember, the truly great Presidents have been those men who were experienced in government, executive decisions, business, and the military.  Obama has NONE of those qualifications.

So, now, thanks to Obama,  we face a Hydra in the Middle East.  Bomb Syria and create uncertainty about which political segment will emerge victorious.  Don’t bomb Syria and embolden Iran and its nuclear program.  Let the UN with all its American fans decide what is right for America.  Let Russia and China push us around.  The only certainty is that  the result of Obama’s inexperience, hesitation, and uncertainty could well kill more American soldiers and definitely will kill Syrians….no matter what happens.

It is said that you get what you pay for.   Well, America has paid dearly and often for the follies of President Obama.   Syria is  just the latest of a long list and only time will tell how costly President Obama’s time in office will be for America.  But, one thing is certain.  With  Obama, America is getting far more talk and far less bang for its buck.

It’s Black and White

It’s RACISM — Black versus  White………..ALWAYS…………..or, so politicians would have you believe.  But, is America really racist?  Some Blacks believe so.

While Democratic lawmakers place the lion’s share of the blame on Republicans for the state of affairs, they betray disappointment that more progress has not been made since the civil rights movement won its biggest victories.  

Asked whether the overall trajectory of race relations has been positive or negative in recent years, the chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), Rep. Marcia Fudge (D-Ohio) paused for a moment.“Right after the election of the president, I would have thought it was going in a positive direction, but I am not so sure anymore,” she said. “I think we have lost ground as it relates to our tolerance of people who are different or people who we believe have not worked hard enough. You hear the language all the time on talk radio — the buzzwords, often primarily directed at low-income people and communities of color.

 

It’s sad that so many Black politicians universally attribute every evil to Whites, especially White Conservatives.  But, is it true that Republicans and White people, in general, are continuing to act with a racial bias?  And, if true,  shouldn’t you be able to prove it….I mean….with facts?   So, where is any proof of that claim?  Unfortunately for these Black proponents of racism, claims of racism by Republicans and Whites can’t be validated because, they are false!  In today’s America, most of us truly believe that all Americans are equal and have the right to equally pursue a better Life.  Yet, the never-ending claims of racism are buoyed and preserved by self-appointed,  self-serving shills such as Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, and now, it seems, promoted by many of the Black spokespersons.

Why would anyone foment animosity and conflict between fellow Americans?  The answer is simple, and sad.  This mantra of racism has been, and continues to be, a method of continuing a division between Americans for political and monetary purposes.  There is NO  proof that Republicans and Whites are acting, feeling, or speaking in terms that disparage any ethnic group.  And, yet, even in the absence of such proof, the lunacy continues.  Because,  unless you can separate people into a distinct entity, such as Blacks, Whites, Unions, Government workers, etc., politicians have no convenient way of singling out a group and then, of doling out our tax dollars.  And, if you can’t label a group, how can you buy their votes?   So, despite the evidence to the contrary,  many Lieberals and Blacks continue to label all incidents which involve  a Black person as having been caused by racism, ONLY when it suits their philosophy of racism.    For example:

Race was NOT a factor in the verdict of innocence for George Zimmerman.  Yet, many in the Black community continue to believe it was.

Black teens kill an 88 year old, WHITE veteran, and no Black spokesperson voiced a claim that it was racist.

A young, black man has bludgeoned a 99 year old, WHITE woman, and neither Al Sharpton nor Jesse Jackson have spoken out against the violence.

A black doctor murders innocent black babies and the response by one black woman was to blame America because “no one cares if black babies are murdered!”  This is the kind of hogwash that creates anger and more violence.  It does nothing to protect black babies, nor white babies, nor purple babies.  Racial hatred is a potent weapon in the hands of a demagogue and few of the Black community hesitate to use hatred to further their own goals.

Such disregard for the facts makes it difficult to give credence to all the claims of Racism. While there might be cases of Racism, not every case involving a Black and White is a result of racial profiling or hatred.  In fact, many of the Black community’s problems are rooted in the Lieberal and Progressive thinking of the 1950 which continue even today.  Facts such as study after study showing that increasing welfare has HURT the Black community do not prevent  black politicians from continuing to promote the idea that conservatives are trying to “steal” the food out of the mouth of poor, black babies.  Even when the facts prove  the disparity in income and unemployment is INCREASING between black and white communities,  due to this welfare mentality, Black politicians and Lieberals blame conservatives when they speak of self-reliance.

It’s ironic that Conservatives believe that everyone, Black, White, or Hispanic, can, and should, be the masters of their own fate.  Some in the Black community seem to agree with Lieberals that Blacks are so helpless and hapless that ONLY THE GOVERNMENT CAN SAVE THEM!

If I were Black, I would resent that notion.  Heck, I’m a “White”……..kind of…………… and I resent that idea!

It’s time that Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton  strive to lift up the Black communities, NOT drive them further into the control of the government.  It’s time that these Black snake-oil salesmen are revealed to be opportunistic and, often violent, people who DO NOT TRULY CARE WHAT HAPPENS TO INDIVIDUAL BLACK PEOPLE so long as their own personal goals are pursued.

Let’s improve everyone’s chances for Life, Liberty and the PURSUIT of Happiness by getting the “bosses” in government out of our way.

It’s time for there to be ONE AMERICA, NOT Black Americans, African American Americans, Hispanic Americans, Japanese Americans.

It’s time for Americans to be Americans, period!

Why is Obama smiling?

When droves of Americans no longer even hope to secure employment and drop out of those seeking employment….

When scandals abound — Benghazi; the Administration refusing to give information to Congressional committees;  Obamascare and the inability to impose any kind of intelligent organization to this catastrophic health scare plan;   the IRS spying on Americans;  the coordination of the CIA and FBI, and other governmental “initials”…..all to spy on AMERICANS;   the IRS prohibiting Conservative groups from their right to be non-profits;     countless political appointees who didn’t follow American laws, and yet, are installed in positions of power and influence;        lavish vacations for the big O and his family……..and friends…….AND,  reporters who cover the White House;      waivers for Unions, big political contributors (to Democrats, of course, especially Obama) ;     and anyone who can spell “Democrat”………………………..

Shouldn’t President Obama, and all of his administration, be FROWNING .………and working late at night to correct these scandals?

That’s what you would expect from an honest Administration or Congress.  In actuality, there is no need to concentrate on these scandals when  the NBC, ABC< MSNBC, ABC, and Obama’s other minions all  pretend that everything is hunky-dorey in America, and around the world.  No one contests Obama’s repeated lies, repeated omissions of facts, nor his repeated rewriting of his own History!

 

So, given that Obama has a license to say, do, spend, “go around Congress”, wouldn’t YOU be smiling, too?

News flash: CNN, NBC, an unpaid political advertisement, coming soon!

Leave a reply

Well, not actually a news flash….in fact, it’s more of the same-old, same-old garbage that Lieberal media export all the time!

Except for a few, notable exceptions like FOX news, most of the  major networks are in bed with the Democrat party.   Scandals, if they might actually reflect the horrendous decisions by President Obama,  are routinely ignored or dismissed.  Did CNN cover the scandalous murder of Americans in Benghaz?  Not much.  What about other scandals, like the spying by the CIA and every other government agency on American citizens, political cronies nominated to positions of influence, the IRS crushing Conservative groups, the President’s expensive and constant vacations, voter intimidation by the Black Panthers, the DOJ’s constant scrutiny of Conservative states like Texas……..these scandals  are never front page news to these networks.  No, these networks push the Lieberal agenda….and, they push it hard!

That is why the head of AP news syndicate almost swooned when he introduced Obama several years ago.   It is why Amazon owner, Bezos, a fervant Obama supporter, can buy a newspaper and the DOJ does not even investigate whether this will produce a monopoly in the news media.  This bias is why Candy Crowley was the third “man” supporting the Democrat agenda in the Presidential debates of 2008………..and her network never reprimanded her.  Nor did any other lieberal media outlet even notice Crowley’s defense of an Obama lie BECAUSE SHE SUPPORTED THE PARTY LINE!  Media bias is so common that no one seems to notice it any more.

So, it is no surprise that these same, Lieberal networks will be showing the “Hillary Chronicles” .  Wow.  Free advertising to push yet another Democrat.

What is surprising is that Republicans have finally had enough of CNN, MSNBC, ABC, and NBC “news” outlets fawning over Democrats.

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journalism/2013/08/05/CNN-to-RNC-disservice-to-voters

In a letter to both NBC and CNN, RNC Chair Reince Priebus said that the Party will not allow either network to host primary debates if they go ahead with planned projects surrounding Hillary Clinton.

Congratulations to the Republican Party for standing up to the Lieberal  thugs at these networks. 

 

Loyola University Stritch School of Medicine and its Sick Decision…..

Undocumented immigrants may apply to Loyola med school

BY TINA SFONDELES Staff Reporter tsfondeles@suntimes.com June 13, 2013 6:34PM

 

 

Updated: June 14, 2013 2:22AM

Undocumented immigrants are now welcome to apply at Loyola University Stritch School of Medicine in an unprecedented move school officials hope might spread to the rest of the medical community.

So, what’s wrong with ILLEGAL ALIENS, euphemistically referred to as “undocumented immigrants”, applying to our medical schools?

First, when you apply to any school or job, you MUST provide a Social Security number.  Because they are here illegally, illegal aliens do not have Social Security numbers….so, how can they ever meet any school’s entrance requirements?

Secondly, undocumented means that you have NOT followed United States Laws when entering the U.S.  That means you are definitely ILLEGALLY here which is a criminal offense.  Is Loyola now allowing criminals to attend their school?

Thirdly, Loyola is confused about the meaning of charity. While being charitable is usually considered a good quality, charity does NOT give any person or institution the right to defy U.S. law.   It baffles me that a Catholic university is encouraging defiance  to American immigration laws ….especially since such defiance is a criminal activity.  While the goal might be worthy, allowing and encouraging illegal aliens to apply to Loyala contradicts common sense. And, there is no need to promote such  unlawful and unsanctioned activities because, if Loyola wants to graduate more medical doctors LEGALLY, then it would be easy to set up medical schools in the native countries of these undocumented people, rather than defy  U.S. law!

This plan is offensive not just to American citizens, but those who are following the legal path to citizenship.  Ask those standing in the immigration line if allowing illegal aliens to apply to Loyola is tantamount to condoning criminal activity.  The answer would be a unanimous “yes”!

Allowing illegal aliens to apply and attend  is definitely insulting to the valuable reputation that Loyola has earned through the years by turning out highly-qualified doctors.  Those doctors  went through a rigorous interview process and an even more rigorous and lengthy training process.  Accepting applicants who do not meet every standard will demean the reputation of Loyola and forever stain the reputation of these graduates!

As the parents  of one of those graduates, and Catholics, we find Loyola’s plan frustrating and insulting.  Along with all the other medical school graduates, my son, who followed all the rules to become a doctor, deserves better from his alma mater.  As his parents,  we do, too!  In fact, so do the patients who will be treated by Loyola’s future doctors.

It is difficult to understand Loyola.  And, we  adamantly oppose Loyola’s perverse and illegitimate decision.

Is Obamascare the law?

Is Obamascare the law or not?

Today, President Obama’s minions decided to delay the employer mandate portion of the law.

http://news.yahoo.com/obamacare-101-why-major-part-health-law-delayed-160810292.html

                                                  The Obama administration announced Wednesday that it is delaying a central part of the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare: the requirement that medium and large companies offer their employees health insurance or face fines.

If it is the law, then, how can Obama just willy-nilly  delay a part of it?  Obama and the Democrats forced this healthcare attrocity down our throats and now, because the law is so distasteful that even Democrats don’t want to campaign with it over their heads, it is more convenient to “delay” one  unpalatable portion of the law.

I guess it’s unsurprising that a President who “goes around Congress” to move his personal agenda forward is willing to NOT ENFORCE a law for political purposes.  I guess it’s unsurprising that a  President who appoints countless unqualified, and even criminally negligent,  people to high administrative posts  is willing to defy any law.   I guess it’s unsurprising that  President who crows when an American enemy is killed is himself a craven coward who won’t own up to any of the horrific consequences of his own inexperience and yes, criminally negligent, behaviour.

What is surprising is that few in the media are willing to call President Obama out on his failures.  What is surprising is that there are still people who support this failed President and his failed presidency.   What is surprising that the American people still tolerate Obama’s deliberate machinations to further his political agenda even if it goes contrary to the law!

By delaying any portion of Obamacare, President Obama is announcing that he does not believe Obamacare is actually a law of the land because, if it were, he has sworn an oath to support and enact it.  So,Obama’s own actions are proof that Obamascare is NOT the law of the land!

Here’s a simple test on Affirmative Action.

1) You cannot drink water out of my water fountain due to your RACE. <– Racism
2) You are accepted into the University, due to your RACE.  <- Perfectly fine for the PC crowd.

Look, they’re both utter bullshit.  It’s not like these bozos are accepting equally academic strong individuals, they blatantly say that the students are accepted PURELY on race.  It’s actually kind of appalling that the irony is missed by so many.  Ok, if you want to have outreach programs and such to try and attract minority candidates, then I guess I’m ok to a point with that.  But to actually say with a straight face that I’m accepting this student due solely to his or her race, and not see anything wrong with that… then I guess I just can’t comprehend the PC culture.

You talk too much……

2 Replies

When we were in our teens, there was a song titled:    “You talk too much.”

It could have been written with President Obama in mind because, the one thing that Obama does well is TALK!

Of course, he  also plays basketball, golfs, travels, and wines and dines the famous…..all at great expense on the taxpayers’ dime.  BUT, he does do one thing that costs nothing………and, that is…….he TALKS!  Despite having NO executive experience, he talked his way into the Oval Office.  He talked himself past the problems that plague our country, like High Unemployment,  a stock market run amuck,  a stimulus bill that never delivered, and, innumerable scandals concerning his staff and chosen aides. His attorney general, Holder, has a contempt of Congress charge against him and, Obama refuses to fire him.

Now, he is attempting to talk himself past even more scandals, like the IRS targeting American conservatives and using the power of the IRS to help re-elect Obama and Democrats.  He presides over the scandalous invasion of our privacy by monitoring our phones, internet and even, we hear, opening some of our mail.  He has nominated friends who, if they were ordinary people like us, would be in court desperately trying to stay out of jail.

And, always, our President talks and talks.  I am sick of his talk.  The promises of unifying our country, the vow to promote jobs for our friends and family,  his arrogant talk of how righteous he and his minions are.

The problem is that, while talk is usually cheap, the result of Obama’s loose lips has been to cheapen America’s worth…..  in economic events, moral authority, and even in securing our country against terrorism and foreign powers.

So, please, President Obama.  Just stop talking and start working.  Until then, this song was written for you, President Obama.

The Face of America

Leave a reply

President Obama has lived a charmed life  without repercussions from his college days of smoking pot to being a  community organizer to being elected an Illinois senator and finally, to the White House.  And, then, within minutes of being inaugurated, he wins the Nobel Peace Prize!  All this despite his own admitted lackluster college career, and his short and unimportant stint as a Senator.

In fact, what has he accomplished, besides being the face of Black America?

Let’s be honest.  His main “accomplishment” has been to divide America into warring factions……fomenting hostility all in the name of political advantage.  Blacks are encouraged to hate Whites.  “Middle America” is taught to hate the  “rich” .  Foreign leaders see an obsequious American President who kowtows to anyone NOT American!   To Obama, our Constitution is NOT his moral compass because he  “goes around Congress” whenever they don’t do his bidding.  Our precious, fallen soldiers are political fodder for him, NOT the heroes to be praised and thanked…….UNLESS there is a political gain for him.   A murdered Ambassador, the murdered Americans in Benghazi are a casualty of his unending politicization of every event and issue.

So, now, Lieberals are suggesting that Obama’s face be engraved beside our truly spectacular Presidents on Mount Rushmore!

http://dailycaller.com/2013/05/27/obama-should-end-up-on-mount-rushmore-say-a-third-of-george-washington-profs-surveyed/

My answer is not only “no”, it is “HELL, NO!”

First,  the Presidents on Mount Rushmore have impressive accomplishments.  George Washington was our first President who helped form our country into a cohesive union against a stronger England.  Thomas Jefferson was our third President, of superior intellect, the author of our Declaration of Independence, and instrumental in the purchase of the Louisiana Territory.  Abraham Lincoln, 16th President, secured the union and not only recognized that Blacks were equal to everyone else, but he forced everyone to agree.   Teddy Roosevelt, our 26th President, had a photographic memory,  promoted the natural resources of America as well as being the Governor of New York,  and was the author of the Monroe Doctrine.

Compare that to Obama’s community fundraiser resume.  There is NO comparison.

President Obama is NOT the face of America….or, at least, he shouldn’t be.  The face of America is our Ambassador Stevens who was murdered serving in Benghazi and those heroic men who died fighting off a terrorist attack on our embassy.  The face of America is exemplified by the rows of white crosses at Arlington National Park and throughout the world in unmarked graves where American soldiers died protecting our great country.  The face of America is anyone who succeeds  because he or she has worked hard to improve himself and support his family.

Americans want the Face of America to represent the BEST of our country, NOT to be a political award, handed out to a guy whose claim to fame is pretty much  limited to his being half Black.  America rewards our great heroes so we remember our fallen warriors on Memorial Day.  We celebrate our country and its unique place in history on the Fourth of July while Mount Rushmore honors four of our greatest Presidents.  Let us not diminish the gift of Freedom these brave souls struggled to gain for us by trivializing Mount Rushmore just because it might be politically advantageous for a few moments.

If President Obama is truly a great President, then history will reward him with the laurels he so obviously wants.  If Obama is truly a great President, future generations will demand another memorial to him.

But, PLEASE, for once, let’s be cautious.  Let’s NOT give him another undeserved position, title, or prize.  Let us NOT carve any memorials to him unless the future shows he deserves the accolades.

Make Mount Rushmore reflect the true face of America…..brave, accomplished, and truly worthy of praise.

 

 

Junkyard is no longer just about trash!

Leave a reply

So, wha’ cha’ doin’?  “Hey, mon.”  “You go, girl.”  For some, these phrases might be trashy language, if not unintelligible.  These, along with    “gay, me, myself and I ,who, whose, who’s,  its, it’s, they’re, their, there”, with their ungrammatically correct usage  —   are part and parcel  of the constantly changing English language.  For some of us, it is difficult to accept when many of our most beautiful words, such as “gay”, are now a less than salutary adjective.  Gay used to describe an unusually happy, exciting time, and was a useful word to have available.  Now,  “gay”  is considered derogatory, especially if used with a certain inflection.  What a shame to lose our gaiety to a coarser definition.

Why does our English change?  Some changes are caused by uneducated people.  Yup.  It might not be PC to say, but, saying “myself” instead of  “I”  when a subject pronoun is needed is just poor English.  Unfortunately, many professional athletes use “myself”  as a substitute for “I”  and that error has become so common that I notice even professionals who should know better now speak grammatically sinful sentences such as “Six priests and myself…..”  .  Another problematic use of “myself” is in place of “me”.  “He gave the football to ‘myself'”.  In this instance, “me” is the correct pronoun to use because “me” is the form of “I” to use when you need  an object of a preposition!  So, while “myself” is a great word in apposition, such as “I, myself, speak good English”,  when you want to emphasize “I”, it is NOT a subject pronoun nor a direct object.

Similarly, “its” is the possessive form of “it”, NOT “it’s”!   You must not add an apostrophe to “it” and expect it to become possessive.  It simply is wrong.  The same with “who”.   “Whose” is the possessive form of “who” and “who’s”, with the apostrophe, means “who is”.    When a language does not follow a rule, you have to memorize the correct form.

However,  one of the beauties of the English language, especially in America, is that our language flourishes every day when new, self-defining words, such as  “internet, blogging, dissing” and even foreign words — deja vu, amigo, macho — are added.  These additions make English so much more efficient for all of us.  After all, it is easy to say “internet”  when everyone understands exactly what you are talking about.  Some languages do not accept new words and they end up having to use multiple words to “explain” the object when English just goes merrily along with a brand, new word.   English has become one of the most beautiful and universal of all languages because it graciously accepts words from every nationality, ethnicity and even words that the “elite” prefer not to consider.

That is why, today, I am proud to announce yet another new word, coined by my husband.  That  word is “junkyard” and, it means the equivalent of locker room. 

“What?”, you say.

While the subject is a little risque, still it now acceptable to talk about the more personal parts of a person’s anatomy….even on tv.  Last night, my husband heard a tv show character referring to his private parts as “junk”.  “Junk” is not a new word, but it is new when it refers to the specific anatomical parts of a man.   Keeping that in mind, my husband cleverly figured out that, if junk can refer to a man’s most intimate details, then, a locker room filled with men would be a “junkyard”.

So, now we have JUNKYARD……..another new addition to the wonderful English language, thanks to my creative husband!
