(strike out) Pacificism

November 17 2008: I find it quite interesting that, quite often when I intend to write about a specific topic, I receive a news report that is a perfect example of my intent.

A few minutes ago, I received a newsmax.com email, which included the following headlined story: "Obama Wants Israel Back to 1967 Borders". The lead text reads "A senior Obama adviser told the London Times that Obama will throw his support behind a 2002 Saudi peace initiative that also has been endorsed by Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, the Arab League, and Israeli President Shimon Peres."

According to the story, the peace plan Israel would be able to veto the return of Arab refugees expelled in 1948; would restore the Golan Heights to Syria, and Palestinians would be allowed to establish a state capital in east Jerusalem.

"According to the senior adviser, Obama has said privately that Israel would be "crazy" to reject such a plan, since it would 'give them peace with the Muslim world.'

That "senior advisor" has got to be out of his cotton-pickin' mind! It sems to me I heard past talk from Obama about foreign policy that could very well be considered appeasement, and the current foreign policy decision just seems to be more of the same.

Look, don't just listen to me - read the book this was to to consider. "Above Empyrean", subtitled 'a novel of the final days of the war on Islamic Terrorism', written by Bruce Herschensohn, who, among other credentials, served as deputy Special Assistant to President Nixon, has been a political commentator on KABC-TV and KABC-Radio, and who has taught at the School of Public Policy of Pepperdine University.

The important thing about this 208 page book is not so much the story - I don't think he's the greatest novelist around - but the message he delivers is extremely important and relevant. If you never wanted to know why pacificism is bad for the country, and why we. i.e., our government and our citizens, cannot afford the political correctness of pacificism, then you need to know, and really have to read this novel.

When you read what Herschensohn has to say, if you haven't already done so, you will begin to worry about Obama's Mid-East policy, as well as his total attitude re: political correctness when it comes to this nation's foreign and domestic policies re: terrorism. And why we have to strike out pacficism as an acceptable policy.

Is America finally going to wake up from their state of ignorance?

The United States of America – Land of the Free! The Most powerful Nation on the planet! Home of the Almighty Dollar! Home of the Brave!

Statements that I as a European have heard many times over the years – I once believed them when I was a kid in the 80’s – of course I did I was blown away by the Stars and Stripes blazed over Harley Davidson’s, Rocky Balboa (yes I know he isn’t real), the birth place and home of the greatest guitarist that ever lived – Jimi Hendrix. Everything just seemed bigger and better when you were a kid in the 80’s it was somehow the land of opportunity and the place everyone wanted to be.

Wow – How things have changed! Yes America is home to some truly wonderful people and yes some of the smartest people in the world live in America and it is the home of The Strokes – so in my book it’s still a great place. But – Damn! When will the large proportion of the States stop being so bloody ignorant? I could probably write a thesis on this ignorance (but I won’t) – be it the ignorance for not knowing where other countries are on a map of the world are to the ignorance of believing they are the be all and end all of the worlds’ stage. We are all on this planet as one species – let’s try and keep equality without oppression.

Anyway – my rant here is about the US Election. I’m getting more and more certain with each day that ticks by that Barack Obama is going to win the Election – if this happens he will certainly be the best President the USA has had in my lifetime if not potentially in US history – ok JFK was up there.

My fear – we have another Oliver Stone JFK situation! I can’t help but think there are a lot of dangerous fanatical Americans out here that seem to think because Obama once lived in Indonesia and isn’t white he must be a terrorist. Why they think this is beyond me? Maybe it’s media brainwashing or endless rallies by the 'Bit Bull' Palin but where they get this information from is beyond me! Obama gives a damn about social issues, he seems to want to put people first and he wants to change the state of the most powerful nation for the better. I hope he is all these things personally and I hope he has what it takes to make things better for the people of America and for the people of the Earth.

Here is an example of some of the people holding America back:

Depressing isn’t it!

Want some more – here you go:

Oh dear oh dear – McCain isn’t as bad as Bush – but do we really want another president whose supporters are like those above?

Make the right choice in November – Vote Obama if you have the right to vote.

Oh – just in case you didn’t believe me about the Geography. Watch this link:
Although I will stress again that some Americans are very well educated – these ones obviously aren’t!

Bill O’Reilly Vs. Hillary Clinton Tonight

Bill O’Reilly has been trying to get Hillary Clinton to come on “The O’Reilly Factor” for about seven years, and tonight she will finally appear in the No Spin Zone!

Listen to a sneak Peek audio clip of the interview at johnny dollar’s place.

As expected the far-left blogs are simmering with rage over Clinton’s appearance on The Factor. They constantly rail on about how Fox News isn’t a “real” news network and Hillary’s appearance only gives them “legitimacy”.

Clearly the left bloggers have been camped out in cyberspace for too long, because more people watch Fox News than all the other cable news networks combined.

What really outrages the left is that Fox News is the only channel that doesn’t constantly shill for Democrats 365 days a year. Fox prefers to offer their audience both sides of a debate as opposed to only the left-wing side.

Some Concepts for Obama

November 9 2008: If President Elect Obama really wants this country regain it's former world position, here's a message for him:

Forget left-wing liberalism and embrace classical liberalism

Understand that every American has the right to economic, political, and personal liberty

As a constitutional lawyer, understand the real value and meaning of the Constitution, and how it is able to steer this country in its role as an exceptional Republic

Keep federal government in its real role as the protector of our borders, protector of our citizen's rights, and use your office as a real "bully pulpit" from which to "cajole" or encourage business organizations such as insurance copmanies, unions, and others having major effect upon individuals and institutions alike, to rethink their operations in a way which is beneficial to all of our citizens.

In the same vein, as our president, Obama should make everyone in congress act as real "citizen legislators"; that their task is for the good of the country, not for just their present and future pocketbooks/careers.

Nothwitstanding the above, I was disturbed by a report in today's washingtonpost.com - "CHICAGO -- Armed with millions of e-mail addresses and a political operation that harnessed the Internet like no campaign before it, Barack Obama will enter the White House with the opportunity to create the first truly "wired" presidency."

According to the story, "Obama aides and allies are preparing a major expansion of the White House communications operation, enabling them to reach out directly to the supporters they have collected over 21 months without having to go through the mainstream media."

"He's going to be the first president to be connected in this way, directly, with millions of Americans...(T)he nucleus of that effort is an e-mail database of more than 10 million supporters...(M)illions more made up the volunteer corps that organized his enormous rallies, registered millions of voters and held countless gatherings to plug the senator to friends and neighbors."

The idea here is to have a strong group of Obama supporters who will be able to be used to contact senators and congressmen to push for the support of Obama administration policies.

Fine, you may say, this is just using technology to do what television and newspapers have done in the past. But the danger in this is that there can be a constant bombardment, email brain washing, if you will, of millions upon millions of Americans, probably mostly young or who feel disenfranchised, to be at the beck and call of one political party and party leader.

Sounds pretty dictatorial to me. Just like the John Dewey educational system we have running K-8 (if not K-12), there's a very strong possiblity that, if implemented, that plan will be the keystone of a one-party, one-ideology America. Not good!

November 5 2008: You have to hand it to the Democrats and Obama, they did a great selling job which was bought hook, line, and sinker. Of course, when the buyer is convinced they need something, they are usually willing to give it a try when they like the salesman.

So they bought Obama without preconditions, because it's a good bet that nobody knew/knows anything about the President Elects's political hisotry, except, of course, Reverend Wright. Obama's credo - and he wrote about this - is you have to win, you do what you have to do to win, and when you win, you do what you want to do. Now Obama divorced himself from the Reverend only after Wright stated that Obama is like any other politician, who will do and say anything to get elected. It looks like Wright knew Obama at least as well as Obama knows himself.

I have one major suggestion for all those who have pinned their hopes on the President Elect - sit down, and carefully read the following books: Obama's Dreams from my Father and the Audacity of Hope, and you should definitely read David Freddoso's well researched book 'The Case Against Obama - the unlikely rise and unexamined agenda of the media's favorite candidate'. In this book you will learn much about Obama's political and work history, particularly in his days in Chicago and the Ilinois Senate.

It's important to carefully read these books - you did not hear much about them during the campaign - and what you will learn will provide you with an understanding of what our government will more than likely be like under the so-called reformer and a heavy majority Democratic legislature. Hey, you made your purchase, now find out what you may have bought!

Now that the election is over, I'm starting a new run of comments; the previous entries are found at http://itsthetruthblog.net, if you are interested in comparing coments to reality.
