The Dark before the Dawn

It seems that Egypt, with the determination of the masses, and the stubborness of Mubarak is rapidily reaching the point of no return in this story of rage and revolution. And sadly ,as usual, it will be the military who will decide the direction in which this story will  move toward, indded it is Egypts military who will decide how this story concludes! Will Mubarak stay or go? It will for the military to decide ,since they are the power behind the throne. Will they side with tyranny which clamors for more or will they stand with the people of Eygpt who have said enough!? The choice must and will be made, and soon,  because as Egypt  now stands in the dark, sooner or later the dawn must come, and the light that comes with it. And Egypts Military must decide, and soon, where they will stand in that light and how they will be seen in it. Because the world its watching and waiting. Egypt is watching and waiting, and for generationsto come in Egypt  it will be remembered whatever decision was made in the dark
and how it stood before the world in the light of egypts coming dawn!

The fact and the Fox(political potpourri)

Hilarious how much the republicans celebrate themselves as'Reagan" republicans when the clear fact of the Matter is that they are "Rupert"republicans as in Rupert Murdoch! I wonder how like wading into sewage was President Obamas interview with Bill Oreilly? 'They hate you" well Duh!!!!! Speaking of that Hate ,it is sad that on the 1 year aniversary of the first ladys efforts against obesity, a recognized problem in America, she is still harranged and ridiculed for her efforts, like another great first lady before her, Nancy Reagan, who went thru the same thing in her "Just say No" campaign. Ah Politics, gotta love it! As for the Grand old Man of the Republican Party Himself, Mr Ronald Reagan ,I can paraphrase with great certainly one of the great statements of the 20th century ' I knew Ronald Reagan, Ronald Reagan was a friend of mine, and Bill Oreilly, Rush Limbaugh, Sean hannity, Laura Ingram, Michelle Malkin and all the rest you   arent 'reagan republicans, Or reaganesque, and indeed you and all the rest sully the mans legacy every time you invoke his name!!!

Peace thru strength!

AS the world wonders and worries about what will come of the Middle East's decent into chaos, it is clear ,to me anyway, that the USA ,after decades of diplomactic expansion, must consider a bit of retraction, especially as it pertains to the middle east! Simply put ,the Middle east is a mess, as shown by the events currently underway all over the region! It is a anarchic nightmare waiting to happen!But the truth, the reality is, we have the power to minimize its effect on us! The Middle east holds no Real  strategic value for us, its products ,other than one, are not vital to us, and to be frank we dont need its buisness! But as long as we have been  forcibly shackled to OIL, we remain in danger and we remain concerned! And that is the problem!If we change our policy in the region, if we cut our Middle eastern Oil consumption by, say 20 percent, we would see a SEA change in the middle east overnight! If we cut immigration substantially, cut foreign aid, and even our troops there, again we would see a SEA change! It is a travesty that the greatest Nation in the world is shackled by the greed of the oil industry! It's absurd that nations that are and should be given a gadflys notice, have become a greater danger to us than the Soviet Union ever was! To this I say enough, and so should the USA! I think we need to apply the Reagan doctrine of Peace thru strength ! Let us withdraw from the region, but let them never forget or fail to respect our strength. Strength that could be exemplified in our withdrawal from the region.  Peace thru strength. because such bold moves would create the SEA change that is clearly needed in Middle east relations!

Game of Thrones

Lost amid the clamor in Egypt is the fact that the republicans are and have made a continued and concentrated PARTISAN effort to repeal "Obama"care. So much for a new spirit of Bi-partisanship! And as they continue to crow on Rising tide, I mean Fox news, I again must wonder Aloud: When will President Obama see the Political forest for the Political trees? He may, as he is wont to do,stand above the political fray, but the republicans are steadily, and successfully undermining the very foundations on which he is trying to stand! The republicans are running a race right now and this is no Aesops fable, the tortoise will not come thru in the end! This is a game of Thrones, a game of power, a game that the republicans are expert at, and  will stop at nothing to win!  It's long overdue for President Obama to GET INTO THE GAME!!!! The effort to repeal "Obama"care is only one move, of many that the republican party are making! And if the President   doesnt begin to take the game of politics more seriously, his "throne" will be claimed! He cannot continue to allow the republicans to play their game unchallenged. That is how 2010 was lost, and how 2012-13 will be lost! Its time to play the Game President Obama! Because to paraphrase, its how you play that decides whether you win or lose!

Chaos war( the egypt situation)

So once more the realm of chaos, the middle east erupts! And as madness feeds upon itself, the US and the rest of the modern world is stirred to concern. It is simply sad that the world is virtually jumping, flinching due to the primitive aspirations of neanderthalic Chaos! And its appaling that due to our over dependance on fossil fuels( and the money earned from same) that we must remain shackled to such madness! Simply put its time for some straight talk on the Middle east and I hope that in her meeting today, The Sec of state Delivered it!I dont know about you ,but as a American, and a NYER, Im more than a little tired of having to be concerned with the actions and whims of primitives, with the acts and whims of chaos! Chaos breeds chaos and destruction breeds destruction, but such darkness allways gives way to the light, and it is way past time for we  in the modern world to shine  a light on the middle east! A light of reason a light of truth! We have indulged the chaos, given way to the darkness for far too long! Its time for some serious strategy that will isolate and negate,once and for all the influence the middle east has over the rest of the globe! It's time to end the war of chaos that has been waged for far too long in the middle east! Because to be quite simple :we are better than that!!!! And the world deserves better than to live in fear whenever somethign happens in this region!

Post State of the Union America?

In the aftermath of Barrack Obama"s State of the Union speech, I can say that while he rose to the occasion, he is still missing the bar! You can and could feel the politics in the air, you could see the political blood in the political waters, and worst of all , as evidenced by the unprecedented 2 responses to the speech(and on a side note, why are these even had, this night should not be  about politics, it should be about the nation, it cheapens the moment! they should end that practice!) You could see  the salivating among the political elite and those who want to be elite! Barrack Obama, for all his idealism, for all his soaring rhetoric, is missing the point. Lofty ideals and high agendas mean nothing if you dont have the political power and posititon to back it up, and until he actually begins to play hardball poltitics with those who are playing it, have played it and will continue to play it until their ultimate goal is reached, which is his position of power, he is simply playing the role of a loutus eater. The Post State of the Union America remains political, partisan and divided, and until the president decides to change it in the only way it can be changed, with hardball politics, it will remain so!

The state of the Union statement!

AS Obama pursues his State of the Union address this tues its very simple, the statement made here must be one of ideas presented versus Ideas lacking. Support of what has worked and what will work versus what hasnt worked and what wont work! And it must be a statement staking a clear postion against what has been status quo!!! As Obama addresses the state of the union, his statement on same must be clear , concise, and pointed, and that point must prick, it should simply fail around in the ether of the moment! It should speak about the failure of status quo polices and ideas like deregulation and tax cuts. It should speak about the partisan nature of things like repealing"obama"care, and it should speak to those who benefit unfairly and and unjustly from the largress of the USA's economic policies and stances IE: China! The  State of the union, as it comes from President Obama  must, above all things , be a statement on where things stand , what they stand on, and where he intends to go on the issues as the leader of this nation, and it must be a pointed statement! Because whether he(the president) likes it or not, the response to the speech  is going to be very partisan and very pointed as well!!! SO simply put Mr. president, STICK IT TO THEM, because without fail they are going to stick it to you!!!
