Mr. President, "The 1980's Are On Line One"


One of the more notable moments of the Obama-Romney debates was when the two argued about Romney's assertion that America's #1 geopolitical foe was Russia. The President dismissed this notion by mockingly stating that "the 1980's called and they want their foreign policy back". Just add that to the ever growing list of President Obama's miscalculations. Sarah Palin was characteristically ridiculed several years ago for what today seems prophetic. She stated that Vladimir Putin would enter Ukraine on Obama's watch. One can only speculate what the coverage would have been the media were balanced with regard to Palin. Now Romney appears to be the Cassandra. Just last week Putin landed in Cuba to meet with Raul Castro and discussed plans for the two nations to re-establish economic and military ties. Most alarmingly, the discussions include the possible building of military bases there. There are also talks of bases in Nicaragua and Venezuela which would re-create Russia's 1980's cold war posture. So far, as most other issues which would embarrass his 'hope-ness", this development has received no mass media coverage. Mr. President, 1980's called, they said you can borrow their foreign policy, you're going to need it.

Actually this is a much more aggressive Russia than we saw in the 1980s. While the Kremlin was content on sewing discontent and supporting revolutions in our hemisphere they did not build military bases in the Americas.

The Legend Of The Unarmed White Man (Revised)

Image
The August 2014 shooting death of unarmed black teen Mike Brown in St. Louis by a white police officer and the subsequent decision by the grand jury not to indict has brought unrest to American Streets. The protestors feel that police are shooting and killing mostly unarmed black men at alarming rates. Many also believe that police interaction amongst white's is all together different due to the benefits of "white privilege". "If that had of been a white man..." is a common refrain from blacks when speaking of a negative experience with a white police officer. The media plays an integral role in these perceptions by continuously assaulting us with images of black victims and white perpetrators. In light of the Brown incident and other controversial shootings this year, the adjective attached to these perceived victims is "unarmed". The term is a staple in the lexicon of the American media which h...

BP Crisis Brings Out Radical Left

Image
Once again the left, with the help of Jesse Jackson shows its ignorance of and hatred for capitalism. The BP crisis which began with the explosion of an offshore oil rig which resulted in a fire that killed 19 people. The pipe located one mile undersea began to spew oil into the gulf and has for over fifty days now. The Reverend has been for weeks calling for a boycott of BP. Now comes word that several BP stations have been vandalized. The fact that such vitriol and anger results from what was clearly a tragic accident is surely tragic in itself. Someone should explain to the reverend that oil companies exited the gas station business years ago. The stations are by and large owned by franchisees and independent operators who squeeze out razor thin margins on gasoline-hence the reason for the lottery tickets, potato chips and soft drinks that has become a staple of these often family owned businesses. To make matters worse, the Rev. Jackson stated that "the mom and pop stations a...

Blacks Only Field Trip Revealing

A Michigan elementary school Principal took group of 5th grade students on a field trip to hear a speech by an African American rocket scientist. The only problem: he only took the black students. This incident for this blogger has much larger revelations other than the obvious. This Principal is the prototypical example of the dangers of a left wing education. A huge problem among blacks specifically is their ability to practice discrimination and segregation while simultaneously preaching "equality" and "inclusion". Dicken Elementary School Mike Madison took a group on black students, part of a group known as the African American Lunch Bunch to hear a black rocket scientist speak. The fact that there is such a group at a such a racially diverse school is troubling. Needless to say, the outrage would be manic if a white organization existed and engaged in the same exclusion of black students. In the black left wing mind, discrimination and racism are acceptable ...
