12/6/2015 huffingtonpost.com: Liberty University President: If More People Had Concealed Guns, 'We Could End Those Muslims'
Idiot. 'Muslims' are not the problem. Radical Islam is. Generalizations such as Muslims, Mexicans, Blacks, Whites, Jews, Christians only serve to further to divide this nation. Within each there are radical factions intent on disrupting, even destroying, American values and principles. Ignor them unless laws are broken. Liberty University Presient Jerry Falwell Jr. is one of those to be ignored.

After talks in Moscow, Kerry accepts Russian stance on Assad President Barack Obama first called on Assad to leave power in the summer of 2011, with "Assad must go," being a consistent rallying cry. Later, American officials allowed that he wouldn't have to resign on "Day One" of a transition. Now, Assad's stay could be indefinite.
Can this President take a stand on anything and not back down?

11/23/2015 foxnews.com: Should girls be allowed to join the Boy Scouts?
Might as well follow the Girl Scouts' lead. A boy can join the Girl Scouts, if he considers himself a girl. If a girl considers herself a boy, have at it. As far as I'm concerned the issue is irrelevant, the Boy Scouts having voted to lift the bans on gay boys and gay scout leaders. I would, however, suggest organization name changes. Boy Scouts to Boyish Scouts. Girl Scouts to Girlie Scouts.
11/22/2015 huffingtonpost.com: How The White House Lost Democrats On The Syrian Refugee Bill
It was a mix of politics and weak messaging.
Nothing to do with politics or messaging. Everything to do with thoroughly vetting Syrian refugees.

11/20/2015 huffingtonpost.com: What ISIS Wants: To Destroy The 'Gray Zone Of Coexistence'
Last week's terror attacks in Paris were horrific and senseless, but for the perpetrators -- the death-cultists of the self-described Islamic State -- they served a specific purpose: to eliminate the "gray zone of coexistence" between Muslims living in the West and their non-Muslim neighbors.
Destroy the 'Gray Zone of Coexistence' my ass. The following quote by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, founder of ISIS, is what ISIS wants: "Killing the infidels is our religion, slaughtering them is our religion, until they convert to Islam or pay us tribute.
11/19/2015 salon.com: The dangerous limits of American empathy: Why do we need reminding that a refugee could be "the next Steve Jobs"?

"Slamming the door in their faces would be a betrayal of our values."
I can only assume that by 'our', the President is referring to the values of the left wing progressive establishment. As a right leaning centrist it certainly does not betray my values in view of the government's inability to adequately vet refugees.

11/16/2015 abcnews.go.com: Philly Mayor Says US Gun Violence Is Also Terrorism
Philadelphia's mayor on Monday called gun violence in American cities "domestic terrorism" that is no different from international terrorism.
To promote a cause, an anti-gun advocate shamelessly attempts to exploit the Paris terrorist attack of November 13, 2015 in which 129 people were killed by ISIL terrorists. The man needs to look up the definition of 'terrorism': the use of violence and intimidation in the 'pursuit of political aims'.
11/16/2015 nytimes.com: U.S. Warplanes Strike ISIS Oil Trucks in Syria
Wow! 116 trucks destroyed. That'll show 'em. 129 people killed in Paris massacre. 116 trucks destroyed in Syria. Almost a one for one. Since there are more people than trucks, guess President Obama feels we'll defeat ISIL by waging a war of attrition.

Unless Minister Alvi clarifies these terms and produces proof of the 'arrogant powers spy agencies statements', this is nothing but pompous chest pounding garbage.

Mixed emotions on this one. On one hand I emphasize with the families who are willing to pay a ransom for the release of a loved one. On the other I feel ransom payments will increase the number of Americans taken hostage and further encourage and fund terrorism. The real problem, however, is that hostage takers lack any fear of U.S. retaliation. My position at this point is to pay the ransom, then see that the hostage takers use the ransom money to pay for their funerals.

Agree. Many Southern whites see the flag as a symbol of their proud, distinctive heritage. I have acquaintances in the North who view the flag as a symbol of individualism and a display of defiance against an authoritarian government. Be that as it may, the stars and bars has become a symbol of racism in America. As such it should not fly over government facilities.

Breitbart Texas has learned that a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) helicopter was shot down or forced to initiate an emergency landing in Laredo, Texas due to receiving gunfire from the Mexican side of the border.
The Obama administration's solution will probably be to stop the use of choppers in support of drug enforcement operations along the Mexican border.

"What Arkansas and Massachusetts tell us is that the Obama administration doesn't care about being responsible with the billions of taxpayer dollars being wasted by ObamaCare's Medicaid expansion"
Of course President Obama doesn't care. Six plus years in office and the ACA is the only signature accomplishment the man can claim. Acknowledge its failures and he has nothing.

Hundreds of Americans stranded in Yemen during unrest THE STATE DEPARTMENT reportedly deemed any mission trying to rescue Americans still trapped in embattled Yemen too risky to attempt because of the threat of attacks from Houthi rebels and an Al Qaeda affiliate.
HEY! What happened to the Obama administration's "We do not leave our people behind", the President's justification for the Sgt. Bergdahl swap. I guess the President doesn't see any political gain in this one.

If the man truly believes this he is delusional. I doubt, however, that is the case. It is more probable this is an attempt to instil some semblance of competence and achievement to his legacy.
4/26/2015 dailycaller.com: Palestinian Group At MIT Tried To Cancel Israeli Independence Day Carnival Because It Makes Students Feel 'Unsafe'
Somehow the word Palestinian makes me feel a lot more unsafe than the word Israeli, as I'm sure it does to many MIT students. If "unsafe" is the criteria, then the group Palestine@MIT, which called for the cancellation, should have its MIT funding cancelled, be banned from any group activities on the MIT campus and be forbidden to use "MIT" in the groups designation.

"Here's the real answer people have given me: 'We can't make this deal public because if the American people saw what was in it, they would be opposed to it.'"
More of the Obama administration's "I know what's best for you, whether you like it or not. Just trust me".
Worked for President Obama in 2008 and 2012. Unfortunately that's all we got, a projection of optimism. No substance. Just "don't worry, be happy".

4/12/2015 cnn.com: Barack Obama and Raul Castro meet, launch new era of U.S.-Cuba ties
Personally, I don't have an issue with this. Had relations with Cuba been normalized 40 years ago the United States would by now consist of 51 states, the Castros would be but a memory and the U.S. would include, what I understand could be, a nice Caribbean playground.

3/27/2015 npr.com: Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl Is Charged With Desertion
Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl has been charged with desertion and misbehavior before the enemy.
That's the first step. Next will be a military preliminary hearing which should find there is sufficient evidence to merit a court-martial. Then a court-martial in which he should be found guilty on both charges and sentenced to a minimum of life without parole in federal prison. Personally, in view of the six soldiers that died hunting for him after he went missing, a sentence of death would not upset me. However, civilian and political influence over our military being what it is the death penalty is unlikely.

The White House discovered the operation, in fact, when U.S. intelligence agencies spying on Israel intercepted communications among Israeli officials that carried details the U.S. believed could have come only from access to the confidential talks, officials briefed on the matter said.
This is priceless. Politicians are upset with Israel because U.S. spy operations on Israel discovered Israeli spy operations on the U.S. UFB.

What about other sources of revenue? Establishing an honest notary service, cashing most checks, selling fishing and hunting licenses, wrapping holiday gifts, and accepting wine or beer for delivery are just a few congressionally prohibited proposals that have been put forward by postal activists and watchdogs.
I don't have enough space to address all the wrongs with these proposals so I'll just ask Mr. Nader, "When was the last time you stood in a line 15 people deep for 45 minutes just to mail a single package?"

Unless Republicans circle the wagons and put the 5-6 most viable candidates in the middle the left is going to have a field day picking off all front runners. So Republicans, set up your parameter, mark your fields of fire and for the sake of this nation take a hit if you have to.

A bill to better coordinate government-wide efforts to free U.S. hostages held abroad is winning early support from the Pentagon chief.
Stupid waste of time, money and resources. There should be no negotiations for hostages. That leaves military action the only option. Turn the hostage rescue operation over to the United States Special Operations Command (SOCOM). Tell them "fetch" and get out of their way.

"Russian people live there," Putin said of his policy toward the Crimea after the fall of Ukraine's former pro-Moscow leader, Viktor Yanukovych. "They were in danger. We cannot abandon them."
By this logic we had better prepare for Mexico to invade Texas, Arizona and New Mexico should Republicans have control of all three branches of government after the 2016 elections.

3/13/2015 huffingtonpost.com: Obama Calls For Improved Veterans' Care During Visit To Troubled VA Hospital
The administration announced on Friday the creation of a new advisory group made up of public officials and leaders from the private sector to advise on further improvements.
Advisory group? Why an advisory group? Don't need no stinkin advisory group. Just give VA Secretary Robert McDonald the resources and authority to provide our veterans with medical care equal to the best the private sector has to offer. Another example of government inaction and waste.

Why does the man keep proclaiming this? No one, except maybe a few fringe right wing extremists, has claimed we are. Islam as lived by most Muslims is not a problem. Islam as practiced by the likes of ISIS, Al-Quada, the Taliban and Boko Haram is. Why does the man continue to distort this fact for ...... Hell, I don't even know for what anymore. It's almost as if he wants us, Americans, to feel we are at war with Islam so he can feel morally superior.

And that makes a difference why? One might argue that to defeat an enemy one must understand the motivation of those joining enemy forces. Secretary Kerry seems to feel that the motivation for joining ISIS is glamor and success. The most effective way to counter this perception is by killing ISIS fighters. There's little glamor or success in taking a bullet to the head or having your body parts scattered over the battle field by an air-to-surface missile.
