The Syrian Deception – Look Over Here and Pay No Attention to the Lack of Jobs or the Scandals

We found WMDs? Let’s react differently this time.

I admit that I supported the war in Iraq due to Saddam Hussein’s horrific use of chemical weapons against his own people. These were called, “weapons of mass destruction,” or WMD. Many on the left now ask, “Why not now?” Sometime around 2010 I realized that with the poor condition of the American economy, we could not afford another conflict. The vastly radicalized Middle East, public opinion, the lack of progress in Iraq - and the left - all convinced me that our best interest lay in staying out of it. Peace, man. Many said that the people in Iraq didn’t learn anything from our presence and insisted that we were not the world’s police force.

Axis of WMD. Can’t read it? Google ‘Axis of WMD’

Our Nobel Peace Prize winning president now wants to lob a few missiles Syria’s way because Bashar al-Assad used chemical weapons against his own people. The question I ask is, “Why now?” What caused the change of heart, and how is it even possible when the left protested so vehemently against “Bush’s War?” President Obama promises the strike will be small, swift, won’t bog us down for years in a new conflict (how do we know that?), but will teach Syria a lesson. What will Syrian President al-Assad learn that the radicals in Iraq didn’t?

Were you convinced that the U.S. should use military force against Syria?

”What kind of a world will we live in if the United States of America sees a dictator brazenly violate international law with poison gas, and we choose to look the other way?” No, that’s not President George W. Bush justifying the war in Iraq, it’s a quote from President Barack Obama’s Sep. 10, 2013 speech! President Obama addressed the nation and tried to convince us that his choice to strike Syria is the right one. In the next breath he urged Congress to delay voting their support for his decision. Isn’t this lack of direction (or is it misdirection?) stunning? President Kennedy (D-MA) once said that a few advisors in Vietnam would be all we’d need. President Johnson (D-TX) escalated that war (which, by the way, took a Republican president to end it). After so many said we would not get involved in global conflicts, how can we believe the current president?

Now and Later.

President Obama said a year ago that if Syrian’s president used chemical weapons against his own people it would cross “a red line.” He doesn’t want to appear weak by doing nothing, but I maintain that he does not wish to strike Syria at all. I think he wants to distract Americans from the poor economy (lack of jobs). He’d like you to not pay attention to the myriad of scandals - his administration’s failure to protect our people in Benghazi, the IRS’ targeting of conservatives, and the massive data collection – the ‘spying on Americans’ discussion.

It’s possible that al-Assad used WMD…

While the magician waves one hand, you don’t notice that something else is happening in the other. So, take your eye off the lack of jobs, the massive over-printing of money, and the second Obama administration’s incompetence. Look at Syria, instead. Ignore the significance of the 12th anniversary of 9/11, the glory of the new World Trade Center Tower, and for heaven’s sake, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!

The Upcoming 2012 Election and Governor Mitt Romney’s Best Speech

Written : Apr. 10, 2012

Upon winning the Maryland, Wisconsin, and Washington D.C. primaries last week, Governor Mitt Romney gave a wonderful speech about “restoring the promise of America.” He reminded the crowd to check out the gas price per gallon as they “drive home tonight… Just take a look at the prices and then ask yourself, ‘Four more years of that?’” Yes, independent thinkers, we conservatives and Mitt Romney all realize that the president does not control the price of gasoline. However, his policies can influence it.

Today, Tuesday, Apr. 10, 2012, Sen. Rick Santorum dropped out of the race. Meanwhile, on FOX News Sunday a mere two days ago, Newt Gingrich said he would not end his bid for the presidency. He implied that Gov. Romney will win the nomination. So, what’s going on here? Gingrich said he wants to stay in to influence the party platform. His staying in also helps Romney because he will pull votes from Ron Paul, and I agree with every facet of this strategy.

Back to the Romney speech, the governor made the point that the current president spent the last four years trying to transform America into a centralized state. He also told the crowd, to cheering, that he “will spend the next four years rebuilding the foundation of an opportunity society, led by free people and free enterprises.” Governor Romney pointed out that President Obama, who despises profits, doesn’t grasp that a plant closes when a business loses money, when it is not profitable. Instead, the former community organizer turns to government to lift people up, and sees business as the bad guy. Mr. Obama’s vilification of success and his chastising of business in general hurts the communities he tries to help. This government-centered society then must increase unemployment insurance and spending because more people will lose jobs under his policies, and “there’s always someone who’s entitled to something more.” This leads to high unemployment, stagnant wages and crushing debt. “It’s beginning to sound familiar, isn’t it?”

”I don’t want to transform America,” he repeated. “I want to restore to America the economic values of freedom and opportunity and limited government that have made us the powerhouse of the world. It’s opportunity, not a check from government, it’s opportunity that has always driven America and defined us as Americans. …Free enterprise has done more to lift people out of poverty…and to make our lives better than all the programs of government – combined… Government has to become the ally of business, not the opposition of business…” Wonderful words for a weakened, dependent, and success-starved country, thank you, sir.

Gov. Romney said that the economy is the product of all the businesses in it, but this president does everything he can to demonize business. “It’s a bit like saying you like an omelet, but you don’t like eggs.” No doubt, that night we heard Mitt Romney’s best speech yet. Let’s wish him success in the upcoming election!

No Pipeline for You! - How President Obama’s Keystone XL Pipeline Decision Protects His Ego – But Harms All Americans

Written : Feb. 05 and 07, 2012

President Obama, the energy president, vetoed the job-creating Keystone XL Pipeline a couple of weeks ago. This is the project we hoped would bring Canadian oil through parts of Canada and the U.S. to its terminus at the Gulf of Mexico, for refinement and import into this country – and for sale overseas. At least twenty-thousand jobs plus an estimated 100,000 spin-off jobs - went right down the toilet. What a political and pompous decision. The president threw out profits for American companies because he said House Republicans included a provision in other legislation which required him either 1: to issue the pipeline’s permit or 2: explain by Feb. 21 why building Keystone didn’t fall into America’s best interest. Waaah!

Possibly the most stubborn, self-righteous, and insensitive U.S. president of all-time, he said, "This announcement is not a judgment on the merits of the pipeline, but the arbitrary nature of a deadline that prevented the State Department from gathering the information necessary to approve the project and protect the American people.” For this he punished the U.S. people and their economy. I believe this also fits the unrealistic and illogical environmental activist position that we must not promote the oil industry in any way because someone will, sometime in the distant future, dream up a new, now non-existent, inexpensive form of energy – if we invest $trillions in its research. Yes, it’s the energy of the future – the twenty-third or twenty-fourth century perhaps, but what are we going to do for fuel now? No, not high-speed rail, my days of riding the subway are over!

The consequences of his knee-jerk decision are as follows: Canada will build the pipeline west instead of south – and steer it for the Canadian Pacific instead of the U.S. Gulf. Canada will reap the profits, not America, and the oil will be sold to parts west, including China. Losing to China – again? Oh, well, President Obama doesn’t seem to care. Those wascaly Republicans simply can’t ask anything of him. The president showed them! His sensitive ego is protected, but the American people sure aren’t.
