Commander in Chief of what?




From a FRIEND  !!!!!
Read and pass on what she says. 

I come in contact with a lot of veterans down here and in my communications with Naval Academy Alumni, and I haven’t come across even one who plans to vote for Obama in November.  


What instructions do you think he has given to the marines he is now sending over to Libya to protect our embassy?  Do you think they’ll be allowed to have loaded rifles?  


With all that’s going on in the middle east and with all the concerns about how many more riots we’ll see over there tomorrow (Friday) after the Muslims get stirred up by their Imams in prayer services, Obama remains on the campaign trail today doing speeches and fundraisers.  What his job description again?


 More than 1,000 American soldiers have lost their lives in Afghanistan in the last 27 months. This is more than the combined total of the nine years before. Thirty have died in August. The commander in chief is AWOL. Not a peep, although he ordered the White House flag flown at half-mast for the Sihks that were killed. 
 There is a deep disgust, a fury, growing in the ranks of the military against the indifferent incompetence of this president. It has taken on a dangerous tone. No one knows what to do about him, but the anger runs deep as the deaths continue with no strategic end in sight to the idiocy of this war.
 Obama has had 4 years to end this futile insanity, during which time he has vacationed, golfed, campaigned, and generally ignored the plight of our men and women in uniform.  But, there is now a movement afoot in the armed services to launch a massive get out the vote drive against this president.  Not just current active duty types, but the National Guard, Reserves, the retired, and all other prior service members.
 This is no small special interest group, but many millions of veterans who can have an enormous impact on the outcome of the November election if they all respond. The million military retirees in Florida alone could mean an overwhelming victory in that state if they all show up at the polls. It might not keep another one hundred U.S. troops from dying between now and November, but a turn out to vote by the military against this heart breaking lack of leadership can make a powerful statement that hastens a change to the indifference of this shallow little man who just lets our soldiers die.

This is not something that has been forwarded over and over but something that Bob wrote this afternoon. He comes from a long line of military men who served their country and were proud to do so. Now his son is scheduled to go to Afghanistan in a few months. His niece will leave in a few weeks. I promised him I would forward it. I owe him and all those other kids that much. It's the least I can do.
If you disagree with any part of it, just delete it. If you agree with it, send it on.

"What's good for the goose is......"


Warren Buffett, in a recent interview with CNBC, offers one of the best quotes about the debt ceiling:

"I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," he told CNBC. "You just
pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more
than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible
for re-election.

The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds)
took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple!
The people demanded it. That was in 1971 - before computers, e-mail,
cell phones, etc.

Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took one (1) year
or less to become the law of the land - all because of public pressure.

Warren Buffet is asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise.

In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around.

Congressional Reform Act of 2012 


1.
 No Tenure / No Pension.

A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no
pay when they're out of office.

2.
 Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security.

All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.

3.
 Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.
4.
 Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.
6.
 Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people. 
7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void
effective 12/1/12. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women.
 

Congress made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.

If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take three days for most people (in the U.S. ) to receive the message. Don't you think it's time?

A Letter to Muslim Mullahs


25th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Below is an ancient letter that has a message for the times we currently live in. It is as if James wrote to Muslim Mullahs of this era, not Christians of that era.
   
A READING FROM THE LETTER OF ST. JAMES (James 3:16 – 4:3)

Beloved: Where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every foul practice. But the wisdom from above is first of all pure, then peaceable, gentle, compliant, full of mercy and good fruits, without inconstancy or insincerity. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace for those who cultivate peace.

Where do the wars and where do the conflicts among you come from? Is it not from your passions that make war within your members? You covet but do not possess. You kill and envy but you cannot obtain; you fight and wage war. You do not possess because you do not ask. You ask but do not receive because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions.

Kevin O'Brien always gets it right.

This is not what it seems. It was the only way Israeli President Netanyahu could get in to see the President of the United States.

Lies and Distortions


A friend of mine forwarded me the following e-mail he received.


Big problem #1: Obama has hired hundreds of union thugs to run his ground game in Ohio. Tim Burga, president of the AFL-CIO in Ohio said, “On the front porch, at the work site, on the phone and through the mail, it will be a massive ground game.”

Big problem #2: Planned Parenthood is spending millions there to smear Romney-Ryan. Last week they committed another $3.5 million in TV ads.

Big problem #3: Obama is suing to prevent our men and women in uniform from voting. It’s unbelievable, but true, that some service members who work on Ohio military bases may not get to vote.

++ We’re up against union thugs, feminists, and anti-military radicals


My friend responded to the e-mail above by sending me the following:

Would it be totally unreal, illogical, to think that the powers in America are using this same policy to keep Americans from uniting and becoming a power that those powers could not control. A method of dividing the Country so that unity will not prevail, by lies and finger pointing. Seems to me the evidence shows we are really at each others throats over many issues, and perhaps this is just what the doctor ordered to those that would like to see America and Americans crumble, and retain power and control over the people. Maybe it is time that we practice what we preach and become united in these United States of America

My reply to my friend is:

There's no doubt there is an orchestrated campaign coming from the current administration. There is an attempt to segregate voters into the Democrat's camp  - hispanics, blacks, gays, single women and union members. It is an attempt to divide and conquer by crafting an artificial majority in uniting these elements of our society. They are aided and abetted by the mnm who get their 'talking points' and within hours broadcast whatever the White House tells them. 

Television journalism in almost all of America's mnns is dead. The stories are reported in the mnm that they want to be reported. Any stories that prove their lies and distortions can only be found on FoxNews and the "blogosphere."

The Right in this nation will prevail with the votes of the Independents,  as they are the ones who will make a difference in the upcoming election, sans voter fraud. 

Regarding voter fraud, photo ID is a phony issue. One can have multiple phony driver licenses with the same photo on them. Thumbprint ID is a different story.

The upcoming election is going to make or break the United States.

Another media attack on a Presidential candidate.

Governor Romney has said that 47% of the American people aren't going to vote for him anyway 'cause they're not paying any taxes and basically like it that way. The American mnm has immediately jumped on this, as if he owes Americans an apology.

Ride it out Governor.

Is 100% inflation coming?

CBS World News tonight reported the Federal Reserve will pump $40 billion into the economy each month to stimulate the economy. Chairman Ben Bernanke said his goal is to bring unemployment from the current 8.1% to 7.6% by the end of 2013.

This "unprecedented move" means the Federal Reserve can print as much paper money they want for as long as they want. They also say they don't expect any inflation over the next 2 or 3 years.

Other economists are predicting 100% inflation. You cannot print money without anything to back it up. Duh....... Of course, this all makes good headlines. Strangely, the stock market reacted to the news positively. All this bears close scrutiny. The U.S. government is $16 trillion in debt. What else do you want to know?

On another note, the controversial "film" that provoked the murders of Americans by Islamist radicals, is a scam excuse. Yes, it provoked people, but don't you think that the fact that these actions occurred on 9/11 is merely a coincidence? We're at war folks.

Islamist radicals are dangerous and more so with the American mm giving them a platform. It's Iran all over again.  Those of us old enoug to remember what happened then know what I'm talking about. 

Losing the Middle East by design

I've had enough - my bottle is filled!

What a wimpy response from our nation's leaders in response to the killings of Americans in Libya. This was not an "angry mob" like our media, State Dept. and President are trying to spint. Rocket-propelled grenades, machine guns et al. Who are you kidding? It was an attack on the U.S. by Al Queda. Wasn't their flag raised there after the attack? Oh, pardone, it was a flag "like Al Queda's flag."

Where were Libyan security forces? Where were American armed forces? Our Embassy staff and Marine guards were left to their own devices. Why didn't we fire on the "crowd of protestors" before they fired on us? 

Shame on you President Obama. You've missed half of your daily intel briefings since you took office. You are NOT the man to lead this nation let alone be Commander in Chief. Shame, shame, shame!

Time to act in concert with Israel and those who will stand with us. Or should we send a Neville Chamberlin to declare all is well?

Military Service Does Matter!


Cleveland Plain Dealer columnist Mark Naymik asks why the credentials of Republican senatorial candidate Josh Mandel’s military service matters (Mandel makes military service key to his run, but why does it matter? 09/09/2012). Through Sullivan’s eye it DOES matter.

While Mandel certainly brings many other talents to the race, his Marine Corps service denotes discipline, character and obvious leadership abilities. Additionally, because of his overseas service in Iraq, courage. It also tells this veteran he is proud to be an American and a veteran. Senator Brown, who he is opposing, cannot say the same things.

"The Candy Man Can..."

Reviewing the recent debacle called the 2012 Democratic National Convention, I've concluded that Barack Obama attempted to be Santa Claus, God and the Candy Man all rolled up into one.

The obvious pandering to the interests of his "base" is, through Sullivan's eye, unAmerican. Ask yourself this simple question. Does ones attempt at personal reelection trump the interests and welfare of the majority of a nation's citizenry?

The Candy Man throws out promises from his perch like they were suckers for kids at a parade. But they are promises to his base, NOT to the majority of our population.

Pinocchio Lives (or the Big Lie 2)




PINOCCHIO LIVES! ©
by
JC Sullivan

This former Democrat watched the comings and goings of the 2012 Democratic National Convention and I would use the “Shock and Awe” term to describe the sideshows that were created.

The Washington Examiner reported DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) falsely quoted Michael Oren, Israeli Ambassador to the U.S. “We know, and I’ve heard no less than Ambassador Michael Oren say this, that what the Republicans are doing is dangerous for Israel.” She added, “They’re undermining Israel’s security by suggesting that the United States and Israel don’t have anything other than a unique and close and special relationship. It undermines Israel’s security to its neighbors in the Arab world and to its enemies. And we need to make sure that the fact that there has never been and will never be daylight between the two parties or the support for Israel that we have in the United States, that that is conveyed to Jewish Americans across this country. That’s our responsibility. It’s the responsibility we’re asking all of you to take on.”

On Tuesday of this week FOX News asked her about the comment and the fact that Oren denied saying it.  “I didn’t say he said that. And unfortunately, that comment was reported by a conservative newspaper. Not surprising that they would deliberately misquote me.” Unbeknownst to her, the Washington Examiner’s Beltway Confidential blog had posted audio (http://washingtonexaminer.com/dws-attacks-examiner-for-deliberately-misquoting-her-but-heres-the-audio/article/2506980#.UEnyz7JlQY7). She now has the distinction of having earned “4 Pinocchios” by Pinocchio Tracker.

This is Friday and I’m still waiting for any other American media outlets with integrity to report the story. Locally, there hasn’t been any mention of it in Cleveland’s Plain Dealer daily newspaper. Through Sullivan’s eye it’s perpetuation of “The Big Lie.”

THOSE POOR DEMOCRATS.

I've set the DVR to watch Brian Ross and ABC World News. I want to see if he slams the Democrats at their Convention in Charlotte like he did the Republicans at theirs in Tampa. Will they be arriving on private jets or Greyhound? Will they have fund-raising parties for their candidate or pass the basket, just like in church? We know, of course, that there are NO "rich" Democrats. 

It's unfortunate that Labor Day has been hijacked by the new political party that call themselves the Democratic Party. As a "Reagan Democrat", my roots are in the old Democratic Party, the one  that truly represented the working class. Today, organized labor takes credit for everything the Democratic Party of my ancestors worked and voted for.

IS SYRIA'S ASSAD AS BAD AS THEY SAY?

I see the U.S. major media reporting the violence in Syria as being the result of President Assad's violence against his own people. There's something wrong with this picture though.

It seems to me that the nation was somewhat at peace before the Egyptian government fell and the U.S. pulled out of combat in Iraq. Now the fighters from those battles are free to move into Syria. So, where was the violence in Syria before the Muslim Brotherhood brought their violence into the picture.

Syria's backer has been Russia. They will continue to back them. Russia has as much to lose to the Muslim Brotherhood as the United States does. In this instance we should be backing Russia, as long as they have no designs on the other oil-producing nations in the region.

I'm not buying that this is a popular uprising in Syria.
