Kind of An Accurate Discription of Obama

Afghanistan

I wish I had more time to discuss and study this article and this issue, as it brings back a lot memories of things I learned in college. Unfortunately, at the moment, I do not have time but wanted to share the article anyways. Maybe later when my books from college are unpacked again, and I have time to study the issue I will. As for now here are my thoughts:

I knew from the start Obama would have no idea what to do with the wars overseas. He had no experience in that field and that is one of the reasons this intrigues me so much. I do not know what would be a better option in the end, more men or just more focused attacks on the al Qaeda. But I feel that more men would be good, and doing both at the same time would be ideal (is it even possible?). Decreasing the amount of men would be the worst. I pray though that the White House is telling the truth when it say pulling it out is not an option. And I pray that Obama does not let public opinion stop him from doing what is necessary to win over there.

I agree with the article that some mistakes were made during Bush's term with the war. I liked Bush enough, but he was not perfect. I feel though, that we have not been and are not at a giving up point in Afganistan. And winning the war in Afganistan would probably be a big help with us in Iraq.

In defense of all presidents, fighting this type of war is new for our country, and it may be good to give any president room to make mistakes in this area. Fighting terrorists is not like fighting your average war against a country, nor are countries that have dealt with terrorists for many years that successful with it. But with that said, there are some mistakes that would not be forgivable, such as giving up and leaving.

I just hope Obama begins to realize that he can't do this on his own; that he needs the Generals, and the other military officials, by his side to help win in Afghanistan and Iraq. I hope his huge ego does not get in the way.

Well if anybody has any thoughts about this article, or has more intelligent knowledge and thoughts, please share. I would love more insight.

The Conservative Underground

I am a member of it, even if I don't sign in too often. One member recently posted the following list. I know these lists are all over the internet but this is one of my favorite yet.

Conservatives and Liberals...Random Thoughts On The Difference.

If a conservative doesn’t like guns, they don’t buy one.
If a liberal doesn’t like guns, then no one should have one.

If a conservative is a vegetarian, they don’t eat meat.
If a liberal is, they want to ban all meat products for everyone.

If a conservative sees a foreign threat, he thinks about how to defeat his enemy.
A liberal wonders how to surrender gracefully and still look good.

If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation.
A liberal wonders who is will take care of him.

If a conservative doesn’t like a talk show host, he switches channels.
Liberals demand that those they don’t like be shut down.

If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn’t go to church.
A liberal wants any mention of God or religion silenced.

If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes about shopping for it, or may choose a job that provides it.
A liberal demands that his neighbors pay for his.

Obama-Nation Billboard

Some good citizen is standing up for his country and his ideals by putting up a billboard on Interstate 70 in Missouri that says the following:

"How do you like your change now? Obama Nation. They are coming for you! The Taxpayer. First and Second Amendments are in jeopardy. Live free or Die." There is also a hammer and sickle on the sign.

Roman Polanski

Many in Hollywood are stepping out in support of Roman Polanski. This boggles my mind. I am not sure when the film industry decided it has the right to decide who is or is not guilty. If a man admits he had sex with an underage girl, and fled the country, obviously he should be brought to justice on some level. The case does not close when you flee or when Hollywood decides it can't loose one of its directors. The quote from Whoopi Goldberg is my favorite,

I know it wasn't rape-rape. I think it was something else, but I don't believe it was rape-rape. He pled guilty to having sex with a minor and he went to jail, and when they let him out he said 'You know what, this guy's going to give me 100 years in jail. I'm not staying'. And that's why he left.

Need I say more about the illogical thinking of Hollywood. Would this act be okay if it was anybody else raped, or if it was any other person being accused? Probably not. But who really knows, if as she says, rape-rape is different than rape.

But this is exactly why our country is lacking in moral decency. We watch, drool over, and yearn for more of Hollywood. And they know that and try to take advantage of it by doing their best to persuade us that their views, their beliefs, their morality (or lack thereof) is the one and only way. That if we do not believe the way they do, we are evil, racist, or hateful. The same people who pretend to be for woman rights, or the rights of the poor, obviously have no sympathy for the rights of a young girl or the rights of a victim who was taken advantage of. They apparently believe a little too much in the phrase "time heals all wounds" or mistakes.

I agree with Joan Smith

Now the past has caught up with him, and Polanski is facing extradition and the prison sentence he deserves. His supporters urgently need to locate their moral compass and stop making excuses for an unrepentant sex attacker.

Vidal

Another Black Conservative posted a link to this article: Gore Vidal: 'We Will Have a Dictatorship soon in the U.S."

I'll admit up front, I only skimmed the article. Gore Vidal doesn't exactly excite me and on a normal basis I would never recommend this article. So I warn you now, don't expect to love most of what is in the article. But I wanted to point the few parts I did agree with, so much so I had to share.

Last year [Vidal] famously switched allegiance from Hillary Clinton to Barack Obama during the Democratic nomination process for president. Now, he reveals, he regrets his change of heart. How’s Obama doing? “Dreadfully. I was hopeful. He was the most intelligent person we’ve had in that position for a long time. But he’s inexperienced. He has a total inability to understand military matters.

“The only one I knew well was Kennedy, but he didn’t impress me as a good president. It’s like asking, ‘What do I think of my brother?’ It’s complicated. I’d known him all my life and I liked him to the end, but he wrecked his chances with the Bay of Pigs and Suez crises, and because everyone was so keen to elect Bobby once Jack had gone, lies started to be told about him — that he was the greatest and the King of Camelot.”

Obviously, this guy isn't as smart as he thinks he is if he just now figured out Obama is inexperienced. But hey, anybody that admits Kennedy's legacy is largely based on falsehoods, gets half a point in my book.

Is this normal in the U.S.?

"He alone, who owns the youth, gains the future." - Adolf Hitler

And speaking of the health care lies : "Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it." -Adolf Hitler

And we wonder why Obama Lama is compared to Hitler.
