Don't Surrender Without a Fight


With the economy staggering on the edge of a cliff, our foreign policy collapsing, our empire crumbling, and our embassies under attack the big question is why isn’t Romney up by 25 points in the polls?

The Republican side of the Washington-based perpetually re-elected party of power has a habit of nominating candidates whose main qualification is that “It’s my turn.”  Look at Dole, McCain,  and now Romney.  These three may have slugged it out in the trenches and proven themselves to be reliable workhorses and adequate fund raisers, but they don’t inspire anyone.

The most memorable speech Dole gave was in a Viagra commercial.  McCain spends more time reaching across the aisle to his Progressive comrades then he does trying to do anything even vaguely conservative.  The best move he made was to nominate Sarah Palin, and then his team spent all their time trying to put a muzzle on a momma bear intent on going rogue.  The most memorable event in his campaign was when he theatrically suspended his campaign to fly to Washington to deal with the financial collapse.  Once there he blended into the background and whispered a meek, “Me too.”

Now along comes Romney.

By nominating him the Republicans threw away one of the most potent differences they had between themselves and Mr. Obama: Obamacare.  During the rough and tumble of the primaries and immediately thereafter Governor Romney proclaimed he would end Obamacare on Day One.  Now he says he likes parts of it and will only get rid of the parts he disagrees with.  Coming from the man who passed and not only defends, but also says he’s proud of the mandatory program known as Romneycare, how will he credibly attack Obamacare in the debates when all his opponent has to say is your plan was the template for mine?

In the primaries the former governor from Massachusetts who has been running for President since he was elected Governor in 2003 was relentless in his negative attacks against his more conservative rivals.  In the general election against the hard hitting Chicago machine bent on doing whatever it takes to retain power Mr. Romney seems to have lost his edge.  It’s like watching a boxer with oversized gloves constrained by the Marquis of Queensberry Rules fighting a gang banger from the South side in a cage match.

With the Corporations Once Known as the Mainstream Media solidly in the Obama camp and using every opportunity to boost one side to the detriment of the other, Romney has to depend solely on paid advertising to counteract ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and MSNBC.  Everyday every network except FOX masquerades as news outlets as they work tirelessly to re-elect their Fearless Leader.  The thrill running up and down their leg energizes them enough to advance their agenda day and night turning the worst debacle in American Foreign policy since the hostage crisis into Romney’s gaff or Obama raiding Social Security for hundreds of Billions into Romney wants to throw Grandma off the cliff and starve her dog.

This is like watching a slow motion train wreck.  Wake up Mr. Romney!  If you want to win this thing you are going to have to win this thing.  They may be starting to vote in many places but in Chicago they’re already counting the pre-marked ballots.  The Republicans are starting out with the cards stacked against them, and if Romney doesn’t come out swinging in the debates he may join the ranks of also rans even if he has been running for ten years.

A little free advice.  Instead of running away from your 47% comment embrace it.  You were correct. You don’t have a chance to gain the vote of those who are dependent on government.  However, unless this express to the poorhouse is turned around soon this might be the last election before the dependent class becomes the majority.  And if that ever happens, the Democrats will never lose a presidential election again.   Mr. Romney don’t equivocate about your wealth and your personal success. Hold it up as something anyone has a chance to achieve in a free society.  Lead the way back to capitalism before we totter over the entitlement cliff into a nanny state nightmare of cradle-to-grave regulations guaranteeing a mediocre future.

Come on!  You fought like a brawler to get this opportunity don’t through it away because you’re afraid of being called a racist, a vulture capitalist, or a tool of the elite.  You’re being called those things anyway.  In that first debate you had better punch Mr. Obama’s ticket back to Chi-Town or this train is going to leave the station and you’ll miss the boat.

If Mr. Obama is re-elected on his platform of using executive orders to take everything from the producers and give it to the non-producers everyone who votes for him should remember elections have consequences and every once in a while you get what you vote for.  And as sweet as the “I told you so” might be it doesn’t have to happen.  Anyone who will stand up and offer to lead America back to America should be able to beat the worst president in living memory.  Don’t equivocate. Don’t pander. Make a straight forward case for limited government, personal freedom, and economic opportunity.

This may be the last chance we have to turn this thing around before we hit the dustbin of History.  The 47% are going to vote for “Give me more!” no matter what you say, so you might as well say what might motivate the undecided to finally decide and vote for freedom.

Mr. Romney could say that after spending trillions of dollars to revive the economy, recession is the new normal.  He could point out that after years of apologizing and bowing to others, Mr. Obama has succeeded in changing us from the world’s sole superpower to the world’s punching bag.  His campaign spots could remind everyone the workforce is shrinking, the lines for food stamps, welfare and disability are growing, and all the opposition offers is more of the same.

Since anyone who has lived in the Obama nation knows all these things, what should be the most effective campaign slogan Mr. Romney could use is “I’m not Obama.”  He’s already using that; however, to win he needs to appeal to the hearts and the minds of those whose votes haven’t been put on layaway by the federal benefits machine.  This election will be won or lost in the debates.  If Mitt Romney will stand up and say what he means and mean what he says, and if he will make a case for returning to Constitutional government he will win. If he soft pedals for fear of making a mistake or offending someone he will deliver the Republic to the fate of all past republics: financial collapse and ruin.

Mr. Romney you need to show the people of this country that you are in it to win it.  Show some passion and fight the good fight for truth, justice and the American way.  And whatever you do, don’t surrender without a fight!

Assad Regime Executed Turkish Pilots in June Incident


In a dramatic revelation yesterday, the Al-Arabiya reported that they have obtained Syrian intelligence documents that paint a different, far more gruesome story concerning the Turkish warplane that Assad loyalists shot and destroyed early this summer, which pitted the Syrian and Turkish governments at odds.

Syrian intelligence documents outlying the capture of two Turkish fighter pilots
According to the documents, which were obtained by Rebel forces somehow, the two pilots aboard the warplane, an F-4 Phantom, did not perish from crashing in the Mediterranean Sea as a result of Assad's loyalist forces, but rather they were captured after crashing, and with the guidance of the Russians, were executed and their bodies returned to the crash site. 

If true, this significantly alters the ongoing conflict in Syria. 

As it (1.) reveals the regime not only specifically targeted the Turkish warplane, but after first signaling the need to follow proper rules of conduct, committed war crimes against the two pilots, (2.) the Russians are 100% complicit in the actions of Assad's regime, as they assisted in both the downing of the plane and the subsequent execution of the pilots and (3.) the regime can now be charged with war crimes and this opens the possibility of international action. 

The Syrian government is no longer just guilty of brutally oppressing their own populace, but of war crimes against the military personnel of a neighboring country with the guidance of a permenant member of the U.N. Security Council. This is an scandal of international proportions, and if the western community responds as it should, could lead the way for intervention in the ongoing civil war.

Assad is an animal... Who has targeted his own population, who has assaulted the personnel of Turkey, who has launched rockets into neighboring Lebanon... We must put him down before he does something we can't reverse... 30,000 are already dead - how many more much die for the pride of a tyrant before we act?

Preparing for Litigation

Legal action is not always the first course of action for an individual or a business. Often times the process of going through the court system can be a draining event-- not only for your time and energy, but also your bank account. Still, in today's litigious society, it is an important thing to always be prepared and always be on the lookout for your firm or family. When you are dealing with the court system, it is an important thing to make sure to do your research and get ready in case of impending legal action. Having a set of knowledge ahead of time is a great way to head off future problems. After all, is there a reason not to be as prepared as you can be in case of any future legal event?

Since this is the case, you want to make sure that you are properly represented in the legal system. Make sure in your research to find a law firm with plentiful experience and education and a sterling reputation to boot. Make sure that the attorneys that you choose do not simply jump to litigation immediately, but have a balanced plan to manage how to extricate you from whatever legal situation you happen to be in. Still, if you happen to be nearing a court case, having a proper Litigation Law Firm is a very valuable part of any strategy. A firm that has the experience necessary to serve you best can be the most valuable investment that you ever make. Such a firm can fight for you and make sure that there are no unpleasant surprises coming your way and that your interests are properly fought for in court. Hiring a law firm with experience not only in the United Kingdom but with experience outside of the country can be a major boost for your peace of mind and your chances in court. Make sure to do your research and pick the attorney or law firm that will best represent you if litigation comes your way. You will be pleased that you did.

Finding the Right Attorney

Having proper legal representation is not just something that is relevant in television or movies. Making sure that you are on top of things legally can be one of the most important decisions of your life-- not just for you, but also for your family and loved ones. They are counting on you to be prepared in case of issues arising out of legal action or property transfer. This can especially be the case if you or your family has a lot of property or liquid assets that could be contested in a court of law. With the right representation, you can help craft a better oriented plan for wealth management and transfer. The more experience that you and your attorney have are clear assets towards building the foundation needed for the next step in your financial life. This can also cause peace of mind as you know that your assets are in good hands.

When you are considering which attorney's law firm to choose from, there are certainly many choices. This is just one of many reasons that proper research will come in so handy in your final decision. If you are looking for or facing North Palm Beach Probate Litigation, you need to make sure that the attorney that you choose has the right education, certification, and experience for your case. Sometimes attorneys with the right specialization can help you significantly more than those without. Whether you are dealing with the legal management of your family, company, or foundation, the right lawyer can make all the difference. This is especially the case when you are cataloging or transferring any wealth. Doing your proper research can be a large help in this field, so make sure that you and your family are ready for anything that comes their way. You will be happy that you did.

LIFE IN THE ASSYLUM


 THE "DEBATES" WILL BE CRUCIAL

As Election Day draws near [remember when we used to have an Election Day? Now, of course, we must have “early voting,” typically beginning before any “debates” have taken place, and this year almost beginning before the party conventions, and late voting, sometimes called “provisional votes,” and, of course, the obligatory post-election orgy of litigation] . . . where was I? Oh, yes . . . Election Day draws near. And we are relentlessly told that “The ‘Debates’ will be crucial.” We are told this by such reliable sources as Bill Clinton, speaking from such reliable outlets as TalkingPointsMemo.com .

We are also told this by large numbers of our elite Republican leadership, our astute conservative talking heads, pundits, and commentators, so it must be true. Thus we must prepare for these crucial events. Let’s get Gov. Romney a coach to prepare him . . . how about Ted Olson? Ted Olson might be a smart guy, but his claim to fame is that he has argued forty-some cases before the U.S. Supreme Court. For those who do not know, a Supreme Court argument will be about the case before the Court, you will answer the question you are asked, and you will stop when your limited time is up.

You will not be asked any questions about your wife, or about a remark you made six months ago at a dinner party. You are not likely to be asked any questions by Candy Crowley. Much more likely you will get questions from Justice Scalia. One looks in vain among this year’s “moderators” for a questioner like Antonin Scalia.

But this is crucial, so let’s keep getting ready. What are we looking at? The Commission on Presidential “Debates” seems to be in charge. It describes itself as a “bi-partisan” organization. It declares the location, format, and topic of each “debate,” and selects the “moderators.” The “moderators” in turn determine the questions to be asked. Nothing if not consistent, this years “moderators” are from ABC News, CBS News, CNN, & PBS News. When is the last time Brit Hume was selected as a moderator?

The October 16 “debate,” a “town meeting” format, will be at Hofstra University. Hofstra has hosted before. Washington University in St. Louis, one of the most left wing institutions in the country, has hosted three times. When is the last time a venerable institution like Hillsdale College has hosted? Our contributors to the “bi-partisan” Commission are certainly looking out for us.

The town meeting participants will be undecided voters. Has anyone reading this column heard the Howard Stern interviews with actual undecided voters? The most amazing thing about it is how indistinguishable it is from the Saturday Night Live parody. And these guys will be asking the questions on October 16.

We, as represented by our elite Republican leadership, couldn’t get rid of Newt Gingrich fast enough. Newt Gingrich, who had demonstrated an absolute mastery of handling the left-wing “moderators.” Now, having given the left everything it could possibly have wanted in four “debates,” we must sweat out these crucial events. At the very least, we should make several last minute demands:

1.  Insist that every time the word “debate” or “debates” appears, including on the lavishly decorated sets, in commercial breaks, and in any TV, internet or print promotions, it must appear in scare quotes, as shown in this article.

2.  Before any “moderator” can ask his or her first question, he or she must declare who he or she voted for in 2008, who he or she intends to vote for in 2012, and the amount of money he or she has contributed to the Magnificent One or any of his PACs.

3.  Each moderator must agree to prevail upon his or her network to not declare the Magnificent One the winner until at least one half-hour after the end of the “debate.”  

Unfortunately we will not make those or any other demands. The "debates" will be a joke. Obama will be declared the winner of three of them, Biden of the fourth. God help us all.

Ahmadinejad: Mahdi to Return 'Soon'

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is nothing if he not consistent. He believes that the 12th Imam of Islam, the Mahdi, will return with Jesus to convert the world to the Muslim faith. He has built a highway to a well in Iran that the Mahdi is supposed to emerge from and belongs to the Twelver Shi'a faith. Now he brings these beliefs to the United Nations. In his speech to the body today, he slammed 'Zionism' while stating his belief in the Mahdi.
The date of his return is not known, but Ahmadinejad indicated that he felt the arrival would come quickly, telling delegates: “Now we can sense the sweet scent and the soulful breeze of the spring, a spring that has just begun.” Some critics of Iran’s Islamic regime have expressed concern that messianic Shiite beliefs might drive leaders like Ahmadinejad to seek an apocalyptic confrontation with those he sees as foes of God’s will on Earth. But at the United Nations he insisted the Mahdi’s return would bless all, not just “a specific race, ethnicity, nation or a region, a spring that will soon reach all the territories in Asia, Europe, Africa and the U.S.”
What a nice message for Yom Kippur. Please bookmark!

Jewish Democratic Assemblyman from Brooklyn Endorses Romney

 Maybe we'll see this in the national media...

The coalition that elected Barack Obama has just gotten a little smaller. Depending on different demographic groups for re-election, Obama has just lost part of the Jewish vote. Brooklyn, New York Assemblyman Dov Hikind is fed up with the President. He has broken with his party an has endorsed Mitt Romney. Further, he will campaign on his behalf.

Hikind was tired of the way President Obama treated Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Hikind also endorsed Republican Bob Turner in the special election last year to replace Anthony "Weiner" Weiner.

“Israel is under the gun. Israel is the target of Iran. Israel’s existence is being threatened. And Obama doesn’t have time to meet with the Israeli PM? It’s insulting. It’s degrading. This president scares me,” Hikind said.

“I’m a Democrat but not a knee-jerk Democrat. I’m only loyal to America and the survival of Israel.”
Hikind backed President Bush in 2004 and John McCain in 2008.

Transcript of President Obama's Speech to UN 9/25/2012

Mr President, Mr Secretary-General, fellow delegates, ladies and gentleman: I would like to begin today by telling you about an American named Chris Stevens.
 
Chris was born in a town called Grass Valley, California, the son of a lawyer and a musician. As a young man, Chris joined the Peace Corps, and taught English in Morocco. He came to love and respect the people of North Africa and the Middle East, and he would carry that commitment throughout his life. As a diplomat, he worked from Egypt to Syria; from Saudi Arabia to Libya. He was known for walking the streets of the cities where he worked - tasting the local food, meeting as many people as he could, speaking Arabic and listening with a broad smile.
 
Chris went to Benghazi in the early days of the Libyan revolution, arriving on a cargo ship. As America's representative, he helped the Libyan people as they coped with violent conflict, cared for the wounded, and crafted a vision for a future in which the rights of all Libyans would be respected. After the revolution, he supported the birth of a new democracy, as Libyans held elections, built new institutions, and began to move forward after decades of dictatorship.
 
Chris Stevens loved his work. He took pride in the country he served, and saw dignity in the people he met. Two weeks ago, he travelled to Benghazi to review plans to establish a new cultural centre and modernise a hospital. That's when America's compound came under attack. Along with three of his colleagues, Chris was killed in the city he helped to save. He was 52 years old.
 
I tell you this story because Chris Stevens embodied the best of America. Like his fellow Foreign Service officers, he built bridges across oceans and cultures, and was deeply invested in the international co-operation that the United Nations represents. He acted with humility, but stood up for a set of principles - a belief that individuals should be free to determine their own destiny, and live with liberty, dignity, justice, and opportunity.
 
The attacks on our civilians in Benghazi were attacks on America. We are grateful for the assistance we received from the Libyan government and the Libyan people. And there should be no doubt that we will be relentless in tracking down the killers and bringing them to justice. I also appreciate that in recent days, the leaders of other countries in the region - including Egypt, Tunisia, and Yemen - have taken steps to secure our diplomatic facilities, and called for calm. So have religious authorities around the globe.
 
But the attacks of the last two weeks are not simply an assault on America. They are also an assault on the very ideals upon which the United Nations was founded - the notion that people can resolve their differences peacefully; that diplomacy can take the place of war; and that in an interdependent world, all of us have a stake in working towards greater opportunity and security for our citizens.
 
If we are serious about upholding these ideals, it will not be enough to put more guards in front of an Embassy; or to put out statements of regret, and wait for the outrage to pass. If we are serious about those ideals, we must speak honestly about the deeper causes of this crisis. Because we face a choice between the forces that would drive us apart, and the hopes we hold in common.
 
Today, we must affirm that our future will be determined by people like Chris Stevens, and not by his killers. Today, we must declare that this violence and intolerance has no place among our United Nations.
 
It has been less than two years since a vendor in Tunisia set himself on fire to protest the oppressive corruption in his country, and sparked what became known as the Arab Spring. Since then, the world has been captivated by the transformation that has taken place, and the United States has supported the forces of change.
 
We were inspired by the Tunisian protests that toppled a dictator, because we recognised our own beliefs in the aspirations of men and women who took to the streets.
 
We insisted on change in Egypt, because our support for democracy put us on the side of the people.
 
We supported a transition of leadership in Yemen, because the interests of the people were not being served by a corrupt status quo.
 
We intervened in Libya alongside a broad coalition, and with the mandate of the UN Security Council, because we had the ability to stop the slaughter of innocents; and because we believed that the aspirations of the people were more powerful than a tyrant.
 
And as we meet here, we again declare that the regime of Bashar al-Assad must come to an end so that the suffering of the Syrian people can stop, and a new dawn can begin.
 
We have taken these positions because we believe that freedom and self-determination are not unique to one culture. These are not simply American values or Western values - they are universal values. And even as there will be huge challenges that come with a transition to democracy,  I am convinced that ultimately government of the people, by the people and for the people is more likely to bring about the stability, prosperity, and individual opportunity that serve as a basis for peace in our world.
 
So let us remember that this is a season of progress. For the first time in decades, Tunisians, Egyptians, and Libyans voted for new leaders in elections that were credible, competitive, and fair. This democratic spirit has not been restricted to the Arab World. Over the past year, we have seen peaceful transitions of power in Malawi and Senegal, and a new President in Somalia. In Burma, a President has freed political prisoners and opened a closed society; a courageous dissident has been elected to Parliament; and people look forward to further reform. Around the globe, people are making their voices heard, insisting on their innate dignity, and the right to determine their future.
 
And yet the turmoil of recent weeks reminds us that the path to democracy does not end with the casting of a ballot. Nelson Mandela once said: "To be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others." True democracy demands that citizens cannot be thrown in jail because of what they believe, and businesses can be opened without paying a bribe. It depends on the freedom of citizens to speak their minds and assemble without fear; on the rule of law and due process that guarantees the rights of all people.
 
In other words, true democracy - real freedom - is hard work. Those in power have to resist the temptation to crack down on dissent. In hard economic times, countries may be tempted to rally the people around perceived enemies, at home and abroad, rather than focusing on the painstaking work of reform.
 
Moreover, there will always be those that reject human progress - dictators who cling to power, corrupt interests that depend upon the status quo; and extremists who fan the flames of hate and division. From Northern Ireland to South Asia; from Africa to the Americas; from the Balkans to the Pacific Rim, we've witnessed convulsions that can accompany transitions to a new political order. At times, the conflicts arise along the fault lines of faith, race or tribe; and often they arise from the difficulties of reconciling tradition and faith with the diversity and interdependence of the modern world. In every country, there are those who find different religious beliefs threatening; in every culture, those who love freedom for themselves must ask how much they are willing to tolerate freedom for others.
 
That is what we saw play out the last two weeks, as a crude and disgusting video sparked outrage throughout the Muslim world. I have made it clear that the United States government had nothing to do with this video, and I believe its message must be rejected by all who respect our common humanity. It is an insult not only to Muslims, but to America as well - for as the city outside these walls makes clear, we are a country that has welcomed people of every race and religion. We are home to Muslims who worship across our country. We not only respect the freedom of religion - we have laws that protect individuals from being harmed because of how they look or what they believe. We understand why people take offense to this video because millions of our citizens are among them.
 
I know there are some who ask why we don't just ban such a video. The answer is enshrined in our laws: our Constitution protects the right to practice free speech. Here in the United States, countless publications provoke offense. Like me, the majority of Americans are Christian, and yet we do not ban blasphemy against our most sacred beliefs. Moreover, as President of our country, and Commander-in-Chief of our military, I accept that people are going to call me awful things every day, and I will always defend their right to do so. Americans have fought and died around the globe to protect the right of all people to express their views - even views that we disagree with.
 
We do so not because we support hateful speech, but because our Founders understood that without such protections, the capacity of each individual to express their own views, and practice their own faith, may be threatened. We do so because in a diverse society, efforts to restrict speech can become a tool to silence critics, or oppress minorities. We do so because given the power of faith in our lives, and the passion that religious differences can inflame, the strongest weapon against hateful speech is not repression, it is more speech - the voices of tolerance that rally against bigotry and blasphemy, and lift up the values of understanding and mutual respect.
 
I know that not all countries in this body share this understanding of the protection of free speech. Yet in 2012, at a time when anyone with a cell phone can spread offensive views around the world with the click of a button, the notion that we can control the flow of information is obsolete. The question, then, is how we respond. And on this we must agree: there is no speech that justifies mindless violence.
 
There are no words that excuse the killing of innocents. There is no video that justifies an attack on an Embassy. There is no slander that provides an excuse for people to burn a restaurant in Lebanon, or destroy a school in Tunis, or cause death and destruction in Pakistan.
 
More broadly, the events of the last two weeks speak to the need for all of us to address honestly the tensions between the West and an Arab World moving to democracy. Just as we cannot solve every problem in the world, the United States has not, and will not, seek to dictate the outcome of democratic transitions abroad, and we do not expect other nations to agree with us on every issue. Nor do we assume that the violence of the past weeks, or the hateful speech by some individuals, represents the views of the overwhelming majority of Muslims- any more than the views of the people who produced this video represent those of Americans.
 
However, I do believe that it is the obligation of all leaders, in all countries, to speak out forcefully against violence and extremism. It is time to marginalise those who - even when not resorting to violence - use hatred of America, or the West, or Israel as a central principle of politics. For that only gives cover, and sometimes makes excuses, for those who resort to violence.
 
That brand of politics - one that pits East against West; South against North; Muslim against Christian, Hindu, and Jew - cannot deliver the promise of freedom. To the youth, it offers only false hope. Burning an American flag will do nothing to educate a child. Smashing apart a restaurant will not fill an empty stomach. Attacking an Embassy won't create a single job. That brand of politics only makes it harder to achieve what we must do together: educating our children and creating the opportunities they deserve; protecting human rights, and extending democracy's promise.
 
Understand that America will never retreat from the world. We will bring justice to those who harm our citizens and our friends. We will stand with our allies and are willing to partner with countries to deepen ties of trade and investment; science and technology; energy and development - efforts that can spark economic growth for all of our people, and stabilise democratic change. But such efforts depend upon a spirit of mutual interest and mutual respect. No government or company; no school or NGO will be confident working in a country where its people are endangered. For partnership to be effective, our citizens must be secure and our efforts must be welcomed.
 
A politics based only on anger -one based on dividing the world between us and them - not only sets back international cooperation, it ultimately undermines those who tolerate it. All of us have an interest in standing up to these forces. Let us remember that Muslims have suffered the most at the hands of extremism. On the same day our civilians were killed in Benghazi, a Turkish police officer was murdered in Istanbul only days before his wedding; more than ten Yemenis were killed in a car bomb in Sana'a; and several Afghan children were mourned by their parents just days after they were killed by a suicide bomber in Kabul.
 
The impulse towards intolerance and violence may initially be focused on the West, but over time it cannot be contained. The same impulses toward extremism are used to justify war between Sunnis and Shia, between tribes and clans. It leads not to strength and prosperity but to chaos. In less than two years, we have seen largely peaceful protests bring more change to Muslim-majority countries than a decade of violence. Extremists understand this. And because they have nothing to offer to improve the lives of people, violence is their only way to stay relevant. They do not build, they only destroy.
 
It is time to leave the call of violence and the politics of division behind. On so many issues, we face a choice between the promise of the future, or the prisons of the past. We cannot afford to get it wrong. We must seize this moment. And America stands ready to work with all who are willing to embrace a better future.
 
The future must not belong to those who target Coptic Christians in Egypt - it must be claimed by those in Tahrir Square who chanted "Muslims, Christians, we are one." The future must not belong to those who bully women - it must be shaped by girls who go to school, and those who stand for a world where our daughters can live their dreams just like our sons. The future must not belong to those corrupt few who steal a country's resources - it must be won by the students and entrepreneurs; workers and business owners who seek a broader prosperity for all people. Those are the men and women that America stands with; theirs is the vision we will support.
 
The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam. Yet to be credible, those who condemn that slander must also condemn the hate we see when the image of Jesus Christ is desecrated, churches are destroyed, or the Holocaust is denied. Let us condemn incitement against Sufi Muslims, and Shiite pilgrims. It is time to heed the words of Gandhi: "Intolerance is itself a form of violence and an obstacle to the growth of a true democratic spirit."  Together, we must work towards a world where we are strengthened by our differences, and not defined by them. That is what America embodies, and that is the vision we will support.
 
Among Israelis and Palestinians, the future must not belong to those who turn their backs on the prospect of peace. Let us leave behind those who thrive on conflict, and those who reject the right of Israel to exist. The road is hard but the destination is clear - a secure, Jewish state of Israel; and an independent, prosperous Palestine. Understanding that such a peace must come through a just agreement between the parties, America will walk alongside all who are prepared to make that journey.
 
In Syria, the future must not belong to a dictator who massacres his people. If there is a cause that cries out for protest in the world today, it is a regime that tortures children and shoots rockets at apartment buildings. And we must remain engaged to assure that what began with citizens demanding their rights does not end in a cycle of sectarian violence.
 
Together, we must stand with those Syrians who believe in a different vision - a Syria that is united and inclusive; where children don't need to fear their own government, and all Syrians have a say in how they are governed - Sunnis and Alawites; Kurds and Christians. That is what America stands for; that is the outcome that we will work for - with sanctions and consequences for those who persecute; and assistance and support for those who work for this common good. Because we believe that the Syrians who embrace this vision will have the strength and legitimacy to lead.
 
In Iran, we see where the path of a violent and unaccountable ideology leads. The Iranian people have a remarkable and ancient history, and many Iranians wish to enjoy peace and prosperity alongside their neighbours. But just as it restricts the rights of its own people, the Iranian government props up a dictator in Damascus and supports terrorist groups abroad. Time and again, it has failed to take the opportunity to demonstrate that its nuclear program is peaceful, and to meet its obligations to the United Nations.
 
Let me be clear: America wants to resolve this issue through diplomacy, and we believe that there is still time and space to do so. But that time is not unlimited. We respect the right of nations to access peaceful nuclear power, but one of the purposes of the United Nations is to see that we harness that power for peace. Make no mistake: a nuclear-armed Iran is not a challenge that can be contained. It would threaten the elimination of Israel, the security of Gulf nations, and the stability of the global economy. It risks triggering a nuclear-arms race in the region, and the unravelling of the non-proliferation treaty. That is why a coalition of countries is holding the Iranian government accountable. And that is why the United States will do what we must to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
 
We know from painful experience that the path to security and prosperity does not lie outside the boundaries of international law and respect for human rights. That is why this institution was established from the rubble of conflict; that is why liberty triumphed over tyranny in the Cold War; and that is the lesson of the last two decades as well. History shows that peace and progress come to those who make the right choices.
 
Nations in every part of the world have travelled this hard path. Europe - the bloodiest battlefield of the 20thcentury - is united, free and at peace. From Brazil to South Africa; from Turkey to South Korea; from India to Indonesia; people of different races, religions, and traditions have lifted millions out of poverty, while respecting the rights of their citizens and meeting their responsibilities as nations.
 
And it is because of the progress I've witnessed that after nearly four years as President, I am hopeful about the world we live in. The war in Iraq is over, and our troops have come home. We have begun a transition in Afghanistan, and America and our allies will end our war on schedule in 2014. Al-Qaeda has been weakened and Osama bin Laden is no more. Nations have come together to lock down nuclear materials, and America and Russia are reducing our arsenals. I've seen hard choices made - from Naypyidaw to Cairo to Abidjan - to put more power in the hands of citizens.
 
At a time of economic challenge, the world has come together to broaden prosperity. Through the G-20, we have partnered with emerging countries to keep the world on the path of recovery. America has pursued a development agenda that fuels growth and breaks dependency, and worked with African leaders to help them feed their nations. New partnerships have been forged to combat corruption and promote government that is open and transparent. New commitments have been made through the Equal Futures Partnership to ensure that women and girls can fully participate in politics and pursue opportunity. And later today, I will discuss our efforts to combat the scourge of human trafficking.
 
But what gives me the most hope is not the actions of leaders - it is the people I've seen. The American troops who have risked their lives and sacrificed their limbs for strangers half a world away. The students in Jakarta and Seoul who are eager to use their knowledge to benefit humankind. The faces in a square in Prague or a parliament in Ghana who see democracy giving voice to their aspirations. The young people in the favelas of Rio and the schools of Mumbai whose eyes shine with promise. These men, women and children of every race and every faith remind me that for every angry mob that gets shown on television, there are billions around the globe who share similar hopes and dreams. They tell us that there is a common heartbeat to humanity.
 
So much attention in our world turns to what divides us. That's what we see on the news, and that consumes our political debates. But when you strip that all away, people everywhere long for the freedom to determine their destiny; the dignity that comes with work; the comfort that comes from faith; and the justice that exists when governments serve their people - and not the other way around.
 
The United States of America will always stand up for these aspirations, for our own people, and all across the world. That was our founding purpose. That is what our history shows. And that is what Chris Stevens worked for throughout his life.
 
And today I promise you this - long after these killers are brought to justice, Chris Stevens' legacy will live on in the lives he touched. In the tens of thousands who marched against violence through the streets of Benghazi; in the Libyans who changed their Facebook photo to one of Chris; in the sign that read, simply, "Chris Stevens was a friend to all Libyans."
 
They should give us hope. They should remind us that so long as we work for it justice will be done; that history is on our side; and that a rising tide of liberty will never be reversed. Thank you.

Large Defection of al Shabaab in Somalia

The al Shabaab Islamist movement has been having a difficult go at it lately. It was recently kicked out of almost all of Mogadishu, allowing in the provisional government. AMISOM fighters have also dislodged the Islamist fighters from other parts of the country and have brought in reinforcements. Now a large chunk of al Shabaab's militias have defected:
An entire faction called Hizbul Islam, has also split from the larger al-Shabaab and is likely to side with the Somali government.
No doubt the terror group is attempting a new offensive in the capital, but seem to be losing momentum quickly. Please bookmark!

Massive Blast Rocks Damascus

An office of the Palestine Branch of Syrian intelligence was bombed Tuesday. The large explosion has been reported by al Arabiya and responsibility was claimed by both the secular and Islamist rebels. According to the rebels, a major general and two colonels were killed as well as dozens of others.
Residents said smoke was billowing from the area in southeastern Damascus and an activist said ambulances were rushing to the scene. “At exactly 9:35 a.m., seven improvised devices were set off in two explosions to target a school used for weekly planning meetings between shabbiha militia and security officers,” said Abu Moaz, a leader of Ansar al-Islam, one of the rebel groups in the 18-month-old revolt against President Bashar al-Assad, according to Reuters.

Ohio: Mandel Pulls Within One in Senate Race

Josh Mandel doesn't know how to quit.

 The State Treasurer, who turns 35 in two days, is a man to be respected, even at his young age. The Marine Corps veteran spent eight years in the military, including two tours in Iraq. As a City Councilman he pushed tax reformed and knocked on almost 20,000 doors in his campaign for the Ohio House of Representatives. Elected as Treasurer in 2010 by 14 points, he is now taking on Sherrod Brown, one of the most liberal members of the Senate.

Coming from a large deficit, Mandel is only down by one.

Brown: 44%
Mandel: 43%
Other/und: 13%

What is helping Mandel here is the high level of undecided voters. Many of these voters turn against the incumbent, which may happen with such a polarizing figure as Brown.

Here's hoping.

Finding the Best in Personal Injury Attorneys

No one want to be injured. No one wants to be laid up for days or weeks, especially for something that was not even their fault to begin with. Such a situation is a difficult thing to deal with, especially if you are juggling your family and your job in the forefront. You should be prepared for many things, but knowing when and where a bad injury or illness will come about is impossible. Still, when and if such an event happens (and we all hope that time is never, but we must always prepare), you can make sure that you have the right representation to find out what you need to do and what you may be entitled to. Doing some research on the best attorneys in your area and their track records can do a lot to get you in a better mood while knowing more about what you are up against. It just makes sense to look into as much as you can.

So if you are injured, there are many different avenues you can go down.

Knowing that you have someone knowledgeable behind you can be just the boost you need. Attorneys like Boone And Davis can help you get on track and tell you what you need to do and how they will help you get to where you need to be. Getting your way back from a bad injury, especially one that you did not see coming, is not an easy process. Having someone there that you can trust is a large part of the way back. Talk to your family and find just what you need to figure out where you need to go. When you feel comfortable again, you know that you are winning. Peace of mind can be one of the best ways to going back to where you once were.

You Have a Headache? Too Bad. Oh, You Need Morning After Pill, No Problem. - NYC City Schools Give out Plan B Without Parental Consent


As unbelievable as this sounds, it is true.  If you a high school student in New York City you will be given nothing to help you with a headache, but you can be given the morning after pill.  Your daughter can also get an injection of birth control that will last for three months.  New York City also does hand out free condoms as well.

Birth control pills can cause hypertension and stroke.  Are these girls being given a full exam before these are administered?  Are they being monitored by an actual doctor?
About 28 percent of city students entering ninth grade have already had sex, and more than half are sexually active before completing high school, according to city data.
My heart just breaks for these girls.  I remember when I was that age I knew only girl who was sexually active and nearly everyone had a name for her.   I was 13 when I started high school.  It is heartbreaking to me that girls that young are already engaging in an activity that they do not have the maturity to understand.  They are looking for love in all the wrong places.

One teacher says:
Teacher Rosa Chavez applauded CATCH, saying she had two pregnant students last year. Getting knocked up, she said, “is not cool and not accepted among peers.”
But Chavez worries that giving girls Plan B emergency contraception might encourage careless sex.
Gee, ya think?  Of course it gives girls the idea that they don't have to be responsible for their actions, someone else will help them take care of it later.
“We can’t give out a Tylenol without a doctor’ s order,” said a school staffer. “Why should we give out hormonal preparations with far more serious possible side effects, such as blood clots and hypertension?”
Here we are America, the public school system has decided that they can give your children hormones without your consent.  While they do offer an opt-out plan:
But sophomore Annette Palacios, 15, outside the school with her mom, said parents should give consent in case their children are “allergic” to the drugs.
“Girls shouldn’t be sexually active at that age,” she added.
Her mom, Pania, complained that she got no opt-out letter — and does not want Annette to secretly get Plan B or birth-control pills from the nurse.
You want your food cooked with salt?  Nope.  You want to eat something that contains trans fats?  Nope.  You want a Big Gulp?  Forgetaboutit.  Birth control and Plan B pills without parental consent?  Perfectly acceptable.

It is a brave new world, America.

Potential Clinton/Cuomo 2016 Clash Stirs Democrats


The must-read article this morning for political junkies is "For Ambitious Governor, a Clinton Stands in the Way," published by the New York Times on Friday morning it explores the dynamics of the early race for the Democratic nomination in 2016 between Governor Cuomo and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

According to the article, Governor Cuomo's political team are distressed by the potential candidacy of the former first lady, as she would immediately command the support of a majority of Democrats day one; his loyalty to his mentor, former President Clinton, would be heavily strained and with other candidates rolling the dice, finding a niche to run could be impossible.

Which, speaking as a neutral observer in Democratic politics and a resident of New York, would be very disappointing for the well liked and strongly approved Cuomo, who during his first two years in charge of New York has successfully eliminated most of our government debts, governed with great bipartisanship, and avoided embarrassing scandals thus far.

As a Republican, I fear his potential candidacy for President, because I've seen him tame the vocal minority in my state and my political establishment tout his fiscal conservatism in governing thus far. It's amazing how many times I've heard his governing mentioned at Republican gatherings positively, and that's saying a lot by people who dubbed him "Prince Andrew" just two falls ago.

Even though there is much doubt about the result of our upcoming presidential election in 44 days, as both Romney and Obama can realistically come away victoriously at this point, there is no question the dynamic surrounding the 2016 Democratic nomination will be fascinating with concern to a potential Clinton/Cuomo clash in the primaries.

What say you?

R.I.P. America - Our Stupid Electorate

These people didn't know that bin Laden is dead!!!  How can someone not know that?  What rock are these living under?  Some of these people think that McCain and Palin are on the ticket.  

While I fully understand that any sort of testing is unconstitutional, but I have to wonder if the founders ever expected this level of stupidity, apathy, and ignorance.  

I am sure people can find Romney supporters who are just as bad, that really isn't my point.  My point is that these people are choosing the next leader of the free world.  Terrifying.

The Dish on Online Scams-- You Decide

The internet can be a scary place for the uninitiated. Behind every door (or should I say firewall, instead) and email there can lie in wait various different offers and so called deals that can sound too good to be true, but are really looking for your wallet. You always want to make sure when you are on the internet. Always take what you read with a grain of salt, especially if it is not from a trustworthy source or if you are asked for any sort of money. With all of these things in mind, remember to be careful so your family can have their peace of mind when enjoying the various forms of information that the internet can offer. There are so many sites out there, and it is not always easy to see which ones are the best in quality and which ones will give you the best value. With proper research and planning, you can have a better picture of what is out there and how the internet and its resources will affect you.

 So when you are considering all of these options, make sure to read up and make sure that these sites or offers are not scams. You want to make sure that the sites or purveyors are not trying to just rip off the customers and are actually offering what they offer-- especially if it sounds too good to be true. Make sure that you do your research. There are many online companies out there that can offer you a great deal. Do your research about companies like Marcus Evans and all that they claim to offer and weigh it against other reviews and see how they stack up. When you are better informed you have a clearer picture of how the different companies online can help you so that you are better prepared.

Paging Obama & Hillary - Piss Christ Back On Display


The disgusting and insulting "Piss Christ" will be back on display in New York's Edward Tyler Nahem Gallery.  This is a crucifix dipped in urine that was funded with tax payer dollars.  

Christian's find this to be offensive, to say the very least.  

The Obama administration has made repeated comments about the anti-Muslim movie trailer, and has gone as far as to say that the murder of four in Benghazi was caused by the film.  It took a full 9 days for the administration to admit the murders were actually a terrorist attack on the U.S., in part due to the anniversary of 9/11 and the death of al-Qaeda #2 by drone strike.  

Currently our tax dollars are being used to play commercials in every so U.S. friendly Pakistan denouncing the film and the insult to Islam. 

Not one word about this display.  

Surprised?  You shouldn't be.  They hypocrisy, antipathy, and the outright hostility towards Christians in this country shown by this administration is well-known.  

But, what do I know?  I am just some bitter clinger to my guns and bible.  Even with that, I feel safe to say, that no one will die because of this display.

Gibson Leads Schreibman 52-36%


Congressman Chris Gibson, seeking his first re-election to the House in New York's newly redrawn 19th congressional district, has a commanding lead over his largely unknown Democrat opponent, according to the results of the latest Siena Research Institute poll on the race.

Gibson (R) - 52%
Schreibman (D) - 36%
Undecided - 11%

The Congressman leads Mr. Schreibman in all corners of the district, however, his stranglehold over five mostly rural, Republican counties (he leads 63-28% in Columbia, Greene, Montgomery, Rennselaer and Schoharie) has boosted his campaign significantly, and if it continues to election day will allow him plenty of room to breathe easily.

With just seven weeks to election day and Congressman Gibson looking only to expand his lead, I don't believe there should be any doubt in his campaign's mind who will come away victorious in November...

What say you?

Oh, one more note: Congressman Gibson has the support of 83% of Republicans, 50% of Independents, and interestingly enough, also 21% of Democrats... His campaign isn't leading on the backs of the faithful, but winning with the support of everyone, which is what you want to see in a political environment such as ours.
There is a Moron
            in the White House

Since it has been almost four years since the
biggest liar on earth assumed yet another false
identity;

since this moron has done his worst to bring
America down to the level of a third world,
poverty stricken, leaderless country;

and since he cannot open his mouth without
spewing forth lie after lie -- perhaps it is time
for some plain speech about his royal lowness.

We have all seen for as long as we can
remember how politicians lie.

Yet no one politician, or five, or ten, if put
together as one, could begin to amass the lies
told by the current moron in the White House.

Even the worst leaders in history told the truth
some of the time.

This classless boob simply cannot take a breath
without lying about it.

How the mooch puts up with it is beyond me,
unless she is as dumb as he is.

Women usually aren't nearly as dumb as their
husbands, but then the food, the wine, the
vacations, the money, the fame, must have
addled her brain.

That this moron has written himself into past
presidential history is a well documented fact.

That he has plastered his demonic visage into
every American scene is apparent to everyone.

Now this patriotically/spiritually challenged
ego-moronic boob has actually put his aliased
initial on the American flag.

Is this the last straw for the dumbest ass in the
room?

NO, probably not.

All that is left for this moral leper now is to put
his name on the Bible.

Give him three weeks and he will be selling the
Obama Family Bible, with his favorite verses
highlighed in pink.

I guess we'll just let God deal with that one.

R.I.P. America - Pledge Allegiance to Obama & The Obama States of America


Well we can start with the clear violation of the US Flag Code (yes there is such a thing) and then move on to just how creepy this really is.  Do they not see it?

I especially like a movie star talking about equal pay.  That is rich.  Does she think that all actors are being paid equally?  No they are not.  Why? Because some are better at it than others.  The ones who draw people to watch a TV show or show up in a Movie theater are going to get paid more than those who suck.  It is called market value, you twit.

Under no circumstances would I vote for a person who did this.  I don't care who they are.  This is idol worship.  No thanks, I pass.

Excuse me while I go lie down and cry

R.I.P. America - The PC Police Have Taken Over


Do you remember when you were little and went to your first Daddy/Daughter dance?  I remember mine.  I got all gussied up in a pretty dress, tights, and patent leather shoes.  (Hey, that was the style way back then) and went danced with my daddy.  Most school systems around the country have some form of this.  Over the years they have added things for Mom/Son to do together as well.  It is a great way to bond with a parent.  I would think this is a very special memory for you dads out there as well.

Well, these are a thing of the past, at least in Rhode Island.  Daddy/Daughter dances are no longer allowed.  They are deemed illegal.  Not for what you think either, they pass the title IX test, because they have activities for the boys as well (and let's be honest, the title IX freaks care none for equality of little boys anyway) no, it is because one single mother complained that her daughter was left out because 'she doesn't have a dad'.

Well, the sperm came from somewhere, so she has a dad.  But apparently this single mom is going it alone and the dad is nowhere to be found.  I find that sad for the little girl, I honestly do.  It should come as no surprise that I believe in the traditional family.  But I am sure many of the little girls that go to Daddy/Daughter dances around the country are products of divorce or have parents that were never married.  So I think that this is even more important for those families.  Again, it gives them time to create some special bonds and create memories.

I feel for the girls that don't have a dad to take them to the dance.  Some people die young and that is the reason that there is no dad around. But it would seem to me that in most of these instances there is another man in mom's life that can fill in for the daddy/daughter dance; a brother, your own father, or a close friend.  Apparently this woman has no man in her life that can take her daughter to the dance, so now no one can go.

That's right, every little girl in Rhode Island has been robbed of this coming of age experience because of this one woman.

We have now reached the point that one person gets to decide for an entire state what type of dances elementary schools will put on.

Excuse me while I go lie down and cry.
