John McCain has been critical of Barrack Obama saying that he lacks experience. He faulted Barrack Obama for saying that he would bomb Pakistan and “that you don’t telegraph your intentions to the enemy”! Well aside from the fact that Senator McCain wants to continue the Republican wild eyed social engineering experiment in Iraq, he seems to not understand that Afghanistan is growing bumper crops of opium that finance the Taliban and their fellow travelers Al Qaeda. What’s even more troubling is that Pakistan’s President has stated he does not have the resources to fight Al Qaeda Central which is located in his country. Senator Barrack Obama has stated that if Osama Bin Laden where located and the Pakistanis would not act then he would with surgical precision to kill the man responsible for 9-11. What are we to do wait till Al Qaeda strikes again through our wide open borders and uninspected ports? This war is in Iraq is making America less secure! (See Video below).
When Obama said he will go for the kill concerning Al Qaeda is he wrongfully telegraphing our moves as Senator McCain has accused? Well then if you state that you are not going to act then McCain is giving Al Qaeda Central a free reign! Two side benefits of Senator Obama’s statements are that (1) it would make Al Qaeda live more in fear (2) it would give Pakistan an “incentive” to act rather than waiting for us to do so. Besides who is Senator McCain to talk about tipping your cards regarding foreign policy when he jestingly stated that he would bomb Iran!
In the video above we see how not to telegraph your foreign policy moves according to John McCain!
While this blogger believes taking Saddam down was not a bad idea, our continued presence in Iraq is a bad idea as it is undermining the War on Terror. Senator McCain wants to continue the social engineering experiment in Iraq while his fellow travelers at Halliburton grow richer and the Opium grows higher in Afghanistan!
America’s Silent Majority, our great Middle Class, has had enough of this Social Engineering Experiment in Iraq which has side tracked the war on terrorism! By the way Senator McCain why are Cut and Run Capitalists running to invest not only in China but Vietnam? You would think that conservatives would place patriotism over stock portfolio now wouldn’t you?
I listened tonight to the Democratic Debate in Texas. The debate was co-hosted by CNN and a Spanish language cable channel “Univision”. What amazed me is that neither candidate put the moderator from Univision in his place!
What “place” is that you ask?
Why the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
The Univision reporter asked both candidates why America should not become a bi-lingual nation. Both Barrack Obama and Hillary Clinton seemed to apologize for desiring to keep English as the “language that binds us together” but not the “Official Language”. They then pitifully spoke about how great it is to speak a second language. If I were one of the candidates I would have told the Univision reporter that bilingualism has no place in America and he should take pride in our American culture and heritage. If he has a problem with that why not return to Latin America and we would pay his plane fare.
I am sick of the “racism” that some Latino activist groups show. I have family in Italy! The current immigration laws were actually passed because many in America feared our nation was losing it’s northern European identity and wanted to restrict the flow of darker skinned Italians into our nation. Yet many Latino groups seem to believe they have an “entitlement” to cross our borders and our nation has to assimilate to them rather than the other way around! This is arrogant racism! What gives Mexicans the right to enter America ILLEGALLY while my distant kinfolk in Italy have to obey the law and wait? My grand parents had to learn English. There were no ballots printed in Italian and that is the way it should be.
I realize that most illegal aliens in this nation are decent hardworking people who want to have the “privilege” of becoming Americans. The problem is corporations that foster bilingual ATM machines in order to make a buck! I would have no problem with an eventual amnesty under an “Alien Assimilation Act” whereby:
1. A REAL border fence would be built. As Congressman Duncan Hunter said if you can cross this fence we will sign you up for our Olympic Team. Pop psychology talks about “boundary issues” when dealing with interpersonal problems. Nations must have secure boundaries and no guilt in enforcing them.
2. Employers would be really required to validate Social Security numbers and legal status. Those companies that try to undermine American workers must be fined heavily and even serve some jail time.
3. Anchor babies would be outlawed! If your parents are here illegally then the baby is not American!
4. English would be made the overt Official Language and all bi-lingual education would be outlawed!
5. Voting would be solely in English. Since they are required to learn English why are ballots printed in foreign languages?
6. Once the above conditions were meet and the real fence that Duncan Hunter talks about was built, not just voted on, then we could proceed to an Amnesty!
Both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton seemed to be pandering to the Texan Latino vote. In doing so they endanger their support from America’s Silent Majority! What really drives Americans insane is this racist ideas and concepts of:
· “Entitlement” by some Latino groups. If you don’t like America then LEAVE! As I mentioned I don’t believe most illegal Aliens share the beliefs of the activists.
· “Earned Citizenship”, No it is not earned citizenship if you broke the law and came here illegally! Are they better than my kinfolk who are waiting in Italy and others in third world nations around the world who wait and go through the legal requirements!
· “We have to fix Mexico”. This idea which was backed by both democratic candidates purports that it is America’s responsibly to fix the Mexican economy so that Mexicans can stay at home. No it is the responsibly of Mexico to deal with her sovereign economy! We are not the “Great Decider” or “Great Fixer” of the world.
· “Path to legalization“. No just call it “Amnesty”! Being phony does not help the issue. We are a nation of laws but our legal system does provide for “mercy”.
I am a populist Lou Dobbs Democrat. Unless Lou Dobbs runs for President I will vote for the Democratic ticket as I believe the issue of illegal immigration can be handled after the election. Besides both George Bush and John McCain have views almost identical to Obama and Clinton.
The time has come for America’s Silent Majority, our great Middle Class, which includes all races, to stand up and defend our national identity and Sovereignty!
I feel rage when I see Hillary Clinton talking to factory workers telling them she is going to save their jobs! What a joke Hillary Clinton acting as the friend of the Middle Class. Sure she supported Universal Health Care and I give her credit for that. But she will do anything to get elected even if it means sacrificing your job. Don’t believe the lie that at last resort we can train displaced blue collar workers for technological jobs! Hillary Clinton, Our Lady of NAFTA, is pushing for even MORE foreign computer employees to be imported from India and Pakistan to lower the salaries of those American college graduates who are lucky to get a computer job. Just look at the number of computer related jobs in the New York Times as opposed to ten years ago! Now even white collar workers are moving toward unionization. Hell I am a college graduate, with over 50 credits after my B.A. who is working as a blue collar worker!
Hillary Clinton has a “solution” to job out sourcing! She will keep the jobs in America! If the job cannot be exported to a foreign land then bring foreign technology workers to America to take the jobs of American college graduates! I know I am one of those college graduates who now work as a blue collar worker thanks to Hillary Clinton and her fellow traveler John McCain.
I am sick of these advocates of the free market who with silver tongue talk about “freedom”. Bull shit they mean freedom for the bully! With out a strong government monitoring the marketplace the individual looses his freedom to the CORPORATE COLLECTIVISTS! They have no problem with Corporate Lobbying funds influencing the political process in this country. These same people who whine about “government intervention” now push for it to break the market power of American technology students and employees! If there were a shortage (and there isn’t) of technology students then let the FREE MARKET fix the problem by letting the compensation scale rise! This would then attract more students into the field. But instead they push to have the few American jobs that remain in our nation undermined by importing H1-b Visa workers. Then these advocates of the free market whine about how “ATLAS SHRUGGED”. Better reread Ann Rand you right wing hypocrites and let the free market take care of any nonexistent technology worker shortage!
The time has come when America’s great Silent Majority – our Great Middle Class, must stand up to these effete snobs of corporate America! These CUT AND RUN CAPTIALTISTS must be stopped from shipping not only our nation’s capital investmetns and jobs overseas but even our very technology, frequently to the enemies of freedom! Ah yes but Hillary Clinton is so much better! She wants to keep the jobs in America but deny them to American college students!
Thank you Hillary Clinton for your “SOLUTIONS”! I don’t believe America’s middle class consider “NAFTA” and “H1-b” to be “solutions”! The time has come for a CHANGE!
I am sure we are all touched by the great patriotism of Mitt Romney, first who wants to send your sons and daughters to fight in Iraq while his sons stay home to fight the wicked forces of liberalism by supporting their dad in his political campaign. Well that is till now when CUT AND RUN CAPITALIST Mitt Romney dropped out of the Presidential race because he did not want to loose countless millions more of his own money!
God he made that stupid speech to the conservatives. You can sense at how shallow even they see him now! John McCain has not hidden his emotions concerning Romney. McCain is a “mere multimillionaire”. John McCain as a “mere multimillionaire” cannot self finance his own campaign. National campaigns are far too expensive even for those with John McCain’s resoureces! Mitt Romney is somewhere above the one hundred million mark. If Mitt Romney did not drop out, then since he has a large number of sons, they might be reduced to “mere multimillionaires”! Oh the loss! If Mitt Romney really believed he is helping our troops who are risking far more than being reduced to “mere multi-millionaires” then he would fight on!
What is really pathetic is the Vietnam era type language that Romney and his fellow travelers in the Republican Party are using. They act as if those who want to bring our troops home from Iraq are making America unsafe! This blogger is not a knee jerk PC Liberal. Hell I even supported the war initially and still think the world is better without Saddam Hussein. But we never had the troops levels to conduct a SOCIAL ENGINEERING EXPERIMENT in Iraq!
Can you imagine it is 1949 and Munich were to revert to control of the Nazis or Kyoto to revert to Japanese Imperialists? Well that is the situation we are in now in Iraq! We should have turned over control to a friendly General who gave lip service to democracy. Hell we have no problem now do we with capital investments and technology transfers to China or Vietnam? Tell me is that what our troops died for in Vietnam so CUT AND RUN CAPITALISTS could ship America’s financial and technological resources to our enemies in China and even VIETNAM while they make a profit? Yet the bleeding hearts of the Republican party whine for these corporations that forsake their “American Identity” to now self style themselves as “Multinational Corporations”. Are China and VIETNAM democracies? Oh maybe China and Vietnam are the “role models” of Bush type Democracy that the CUT AND RUN CAPITALIST$ want Iraq to emulate! Now I $ee, don’t you?
Just look at the accomplishments of the Republicans under Bush. Don’t forget under the first six years they also controlled both Houses of Congress. What did they do to preserve our Homeland?
- They are not supporting our troops in Afghanistan. Opium production is at an all time high while Al Qaeda in Afghanistan is gaining strength. Next door in Pakistan rogue radical Islamic nuclear scientists can now team their knowledge with Afghan opium money and Al Qaeda operatives as their “delivery system”! But what worry over a mushroom cloud over our cities? Hell no Iraq is so much more important!
- Our nation’s borders are wide open. No need to worry terrorists can now use trucks to cross our borders from Mexico!
- Al Qaeda operatives don’t have to swim the ocean instead George Bush and his fellow travelers wanted to surrender our ports to the United Arab Emirates. You know the nice folks who allowed centrifuges to go through their nation to Pakistan and made the Pakistani bomb possible! Portfolio Security not port security is the slogan of the Republicans!
- While the Port deal was killed none the less there is no serious screening for bombs and nuclear material at our ports and Airports.
- Halliburton, the great role model of CUT AND RUN CAPITALISTS is moving their CEO to Dubai. They even have a subsidiary in Iran!
The time has come for America’s Silent Majority; our great Middle Class (and those who aspire to be) to support Individual Freedom from it’s subjugation to the agenda of the effete snobs of Corporate Collectivism!
God Bless The Middle Class!
God Bless America!
Stand Up For America against these effete snobs of CUT AND RUN CAPITALISM!
Recently Ann Coulter has stated that she would not only endorse Hillary Clinton over John McCain but she would even campaign for her if McCain received the Republican Party nomination! While Ann Coulter has some weird ideas I believe both she and Rush Limbaugh are aware that John McCain, no matter how conservative he is in some areas, none the less constitutes a threat to the status of the Corporate Class over the Silent Majority! Can anyone deny that without massive financial contributions from K Street both the Democratic and Republican Parties would be far more populist in their agendas? Just listen below at how fearful Ann Coulter is!
For too long the political landscape of America has been a choice between flag waving (and owning) Conservatives in one camp versus the “Politically Correct” hate America Al Sharpton brand of liberals on the other! But as the 21st Century approached there has been a birth of a new independent “Class Consciousness” in America. “Middle Class Consciousness” is now arising in America. While the term “Silent Majority” was used by Richard Nixon it was merely an attempt from the upper corporate class to “define” and “pontificate” what our middle class agenda and values should be! Bill Clinton hitched his political fortunes to the middle class as did Patrick Buchanan. Both are part of this movement while both attempted to put their own “spin” on this phenomenon! However Middle Class Consciousness is taking on a life of it’s own and can not be stopped. John McCain, while he shares many features of the corporate class, is advocating an end the rule of K Street! This reminds me of the Vietnam era book called “The Greening Of America”.
Yes my fellow middle class Americans (and those who aspire to be middle class) there is a cold shiver of TERROR in the minds of corporate America! Their news journal, “Human Events” sounds the trumpet of alarm in it’s recent issue. Attacking McCain with double speak right wing tongue lingo such as saying McCain is against “free speech”! That is just a euphemism to say that McCain is against corporations sticking their hands into our pockets to collect our money to finance THEIR AGENDA! No one is against a CEO or millionaire stockholder speaking his or her mind. The problem is that these effete snobs of the corporate class seem to believe they have MORE of a right to be heard than the average American.
No one is against corporate lobbyists presenting their arguments for their causes to congress. The issue is will those arguments be based on their “compelling logic” or their “compelling cash”!
Will those who hold office be shamed by the righteous noble and altruistic compelling logic of K Street’s arguments or by the flow of K Street cash into their opponents campaign coffers! Just what “contingencies of reinforcement” is the decision making process of a free society being subjected to if we allow this era of licentious permissiveness to continue that allows the hidden taxing of America’s Silent Majority to maintain the political coffers of the corporate elite.
The issue is not to deny a CEO their freedom of speech! They have as much right as I have! But they believe they should have the “freedom” to stick their hand in my pocket to effect the political process of a free society to advance their agenda! How do they do this?
These bleeding hearts for corporate America wail and whine how they should not have to label their products, “Made In China”! They wail the label cost must be passed on to the consumer. Well maybe the consumer does not want the lead paint passed on to their children! Yet they will pass on the costs of their lobbing efforts via the costs of their products and/or a reduction in wages to those who work for them! The result is that Individual freedom is being sacrificed to the Corporate Collective! I would not object to corporations making arguments before Congress. I object to them bribing Congress!
Do I sound like John Edwards? I hope so! I believe the two Americas should come together! I am not against those who have a novel idea or innovation becoming millionaires! Even in Sweden there are millionaires. But the rate of unfair corporate compensation must have a rational counter!
Yes let us bring America together. The methodology is the PROGRESSIVE INCOME TAX and a rational not excessive Inheritance tax! In this era where CUT AND RUN CAPITALISTS get in bed with the Communists of both Vietnam and China and export our technology for profit, where CUT AND RUN CAPITALISTS shed their allegiance to the nation that gave them succor, incorporation and profits, the Silent Majority must STAND UP FOR AMERICA! This era of licentious permissiveness must come to an end! Let us not listen to these bleeding hearts who cry for the corporate rich, who ship our jobs and technology overseas, even to the enemies of freedom! The time has come for an era of SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY! God Bless the Middle Class! God Bless America!
Well it appears that while George Bush and his fellow travelers continue to involve our nation in their “social engineering” experiment in Iraq, our national preparation level has sunk to an all time low! Well look at the bright side at least our nation’s ports are not being managed by the United Arab Emirates. Thank God George Bush was not able to advance the cause of upper class “portfolio security” ahead of “port security”! Our Army Reserve and National Guard are being bled dry in Iraq years after “Mission Accomplished” while opium production is reaching all time high levels in Afghanistan and that nation falls further into Al Qaeda control! The combination of opium profits for Al Qaeda in Afghanistan, renegade nuclear scientists in Pakistan and our unsecured borders do not seem to upset the “Great Decider” and his minions in the Republican Party.
But the above report should come as no surprise as even our nation’s readiness for a natural disaster from hurricanes is at stake and was discussed in Congress last April. (See the Video Below).
Some members of the Vermont Legislature have decided to pass a bill that would declare President Bush’s authorization to call up the Vermont National Guard to be void as the authorization was for a mission that was already accomplished! Senator McCain apparently does not know about “Mission Accomplished”. Al Qaeda in Afghanistan apparently is also not an issue for McCain. The question is for those in the Republican Primary:
What about a STRICT CONSTRUCTIONALIST interpretation of the Constitution? What gives George Bush the right to create a “new unauthorized mission” for our troops? You know the very National Guard and Army Reserve that he never fully attended? McCain and his fellow travelers are going tor the “feels good” solution! The problem is we are a nation of laws. But then again what the hell we have no national borders anyway the laws that regulated them are violated daily? But corporate America needs cheap labor! These right wing fear mongers talk about genocide occurring in Iraq. What about what is going on in:
- Darfur
- Kenya
- And soon perhaps Chad
Yet these “champions of democracy” have turned a deaf ear to the cries of the oppressed in these lands! The time has come for our nation’s middle class to demand accountability from those who hold office in our land!
