So the Presidential campaign is in full swing. I know. It sounds insane. Its way to early. But here we are. Tomorrow night starts the first presidential debate. This is the first chance for 17 members of the Republican party to make their statement.
Right now, Donald Trump leads the pack. Why? I've been reading twitter a lot lately, and what I've found is that people like him because they are sick of DC politics and so is he. But anger makes a bad president. He has many things that he is against, but he isn't for anything.
So what do we need in a President?
#1 Executive experience. We need someone who was a governor. Governors understand how the presidency should work, because they've served as the executive as a state. The problem with President Obama (and by association a Rand Paul, Teddy Cruz, and Hillary Clinton) is that those that come out of the Senate don't know how the Presidency should work. Most of them want to serve as President by proposing and signing laws (i.e. ObamaCare). They don't understand what it means to be Commander in Chief. They don't understand the duties of the President. They just want to propose laws. In truth, they think they want to be Speaker of the House. Therefore, we need a person who has executive experience. That should rule out much of the field right there for reasonable people.
#2 A Conservative. There are several reasons why we lost the last two elections. There was major fraud, unnecessary though it may be. There was racial motivations (many people voted not on the content of his character, but on the color of his skin). But mostly, it was due to the Republican primaries. For some reason, Republican obeyed the liberal media in voting for who the liberal media thought was "electable." In other words, with McCain and Romney, they voted for the most liberal Republicans they can find. It seems that the same is going on this year. Trump is liberal. He donated to Hillary Clinton's last presidential campaign. He's voted for more Democrats than Republicans. He's a liberal. I am honestly convinced that he's running a fake campaign to try to get Hillary elected. But I feel the same with Jeb Bush and Chris Christi and a few others. We need a conservative. Think about it. The most one-sided election of all time (1984, Reagan vs. Mondale) was where we put up a true conservative.
#3 Intimidating. The world is in chaos. Putin is restarting the Cold War. ISIS is rolling over much of the Middle East. Iran has a path to the Nuke. Our border is porous. Again, I hate to compare everything to Reagan, but he ended the Cold War by staring down the USSR and making them blink. Some want to pull back from the world. But as we all know, "Evil triumphs when good men do nothing." Rand Paul believes that if we give Iran a nuke, the MAD policy will keep them in check. Mutually Assured Destruction is not a great policy for those who blow themselves up in order to receive seventy virgins. That's just not good foreign policy. And there is no reason why we are the only country in the world who are not able to secure our borders. And yes, note the "s." I mean Canada too. I would also include in that we need to change our legal immigration policy. We need more immigrants from Mexico, and from China and the Middle East.
#4 Financially sound. President Bush really wasn't financially conservative. True, he ran two wars, but he wasn't that financially good to begin with. Trump declared bankruptcy four times. Our dollars are worth much less today than they used to be. Our debt is insane. President Obama took out more debt than every President before him. We don't need someone who declared bankruptcy. We need someone who doesn't believe in debt.

The news stories you haven't heard but need to.
So, its been a few months. I've gotten sick of politics. But I need to tackle a few things. So let's get started.
Trump is a bad candidate.
Trump is leading the polls and settling in as the conservative candidate. Only he isn't. He donated money to Hillary's last presidential campaign. He's anti gun. The only thing he cares about is immigration and his hair. Moreover, he's an ass. He's called McCain and all other POWs "not war heroes." This is a man who has a war again financial solvency. He's called Rick Perry stupid because he wears glasses. He also has banned newspapers from his events for writing bad things about him. That's just what we need. Four more years of an Obama-style media demagoguery.
Planned Parenthood is still evil.
Planned Parenthood had a video leaked of them selling of baby body parts, while they lady doing it joked and smiled. So they receive government assistance for helping women. Only they butcher the babies for fun. And for profit. Only they're supposed to be non-profit. And they receive govt assistance. Then they turn around and donate it to the democrat party. Kind of like how Susan G. Komen requires everyone to donate to them, then they donate more money to the DNC than they do to breast cancer.
All life does not matter.
Martin O'Malley, speaking to democrat voters, was booed off the stage for saying "Black lives matter. All lives matter." He was later forced to apologize. Because all lives do not matter. Only the lives of black men shot by white cops. Black men shot by black men don't matter. Marines shot my Muslim extremists don't matter. Babies don't matter. Jews don't matter. Republicans don't matter. Only lives of those who can be used to manipulate the vote matter. So he apologized. Good job, you spineless turd.

Rand Paul
So Rand Paul has made his run official. The Senator from Kentucky is going to run for president. Is he who we want in the White House?
At least he's not Hillary Clinton or Jeb Bush.
But seriously, I want to take a moment to express my thoughts on him.
Pros: He's from Kentucky, not New York or Florida, so he deals with real people. And that's good. Kentucky is a good, solid state with good values. It's a part of the heart of this country.
He's a fiscal conservative, which Washington desperately needs.
He speaks in a way that people can relate to. And for a Washington politician, that's good.
He's done a good job in the Senate. I like him personally and have followed his career since his election.
Cons: First and foremost, let me say what I don't like about Hillary, President Obama, McCain, Teddy Cruz, and Rand Paul. Plus a list of others that haven't thrown in officially yet. They come from Congress. Presidents that come from Congress think that their main job is Chief Legislator, not Commander and Chief. Take President Obama, for example. His signature acts as President are ObamaCare, and going around Congress to do whatever the crap he wants to. But he's been a lousy executive. He doesn't seem to grasp the roll of the three branches. Reality is, President Obama thinks he's the Speaker of the House. That's the same problem so many presidents have had. And that's a big strike against anyone to me, no matter the party.
Second, and this is major, is his foreign policy. He shares his dad's foreign policies. First and foremost in this is that we should just give Iran a nuke. Ron Paul, and so it seems Rand, share the same belief. To understand this, you must understand the 1980s. In that time (and throughout the Cold War), the global policy was MAD. MAD, was truly mad, nuts, crazy. MAD stands for Mutually Assured Destruction. It was the idea that the Soviets and Americans would not launch nukes, because both sides would fire everything, completely killing both.
But will mutually assured destruction restrict people who strap bombs to themselves and blow themselves up really fear being blown up? NO! That's absurd! This is insane!
Third, he's pro-legalization of pot and prostitution. Not exactly something that the country is ready for. He seems to ride both extremes, while alienating the middle. That's not great.
I'm still waiting for Scott Walker.
At least he's not Hillary Clinton or Jeb Bush.

Hypocrisy Run Amok
Ok, so I know I've been doing more tweeting then blogging lately, but I can't fit this is 140 characters or less. So here goes.
Liberal hypocrisy has been driving me nuts lately. Let's go with a few examples.
#1 "Republicans are traitors." Why? Because they contacted Iran to explain the US Constitution. So the White House says they are traitors for contacting an enemy government. Well, I guess that makes Obama a traitor too then, because he contacted them first. I'm not at all serious about this. President Regan contacted the Kremlin to negotiate peace. The difference is that Regan wanted to reduce nuclear arms, not give them to a nation that has sworn to destroy Israel and the United States. The USSR was collapsing. Iran is seeking to expand.
But that's neither here nor there. Point been, you don't get to call them out for doing what you have done. Especially when you are trying to violate the law to make a treaty without Congress's approval. (By the way, assuming that Mutually Assured Destruction is going to dissuade suicide bombers is lunacy).
#2 "We can't influence another countries' election." We shouldn't. Sure. Give them freedom. Makes sense. Except that Obama said that we were doing this by congress asking Bibi Netanyahu to speak on the dangers of Iran so they could make an informed decision on said treaty. Then the White House, via the State Department, basically embezzled money to fund Bibi's opponent and sent one of the President's campaign advisers to work for him.
Now wait a sec, you criticized Republicans for allowing Bibi to speak, saying that it might influence the election, when you were outright funding and campaigning for his opponent? Who is trying to influence the election?
#3 "The greatest threat to peace." The mainstream media lost their tiny little brains when Netanyahu was elected, and soundly so. They called him personally the greatest threat to peace.
WHAT???!!!!! Has he lobbed rockets into civilian neighborhoods? No, that was Hezbollah. Has he kidnapped and sold girls to be raped? No, that was Boko Haram. Has he burned Muslims alive? No, that was Isis. Has he wholesale slaughtered Christians? No, Isis again. Has he threatened to wipe other nations and other religions from the face of the earth? No, that was Iran. How is Bibi the greatest threat to peace?
Because President Obama believes that Israel is a threat to peace by existing. If Israel and the Republican party would just die, then he could fix everything. Wouldn't that be nice?

SOTU 2015
So, here's what President Obama said last night.
Yeah, that's it. The only thing he didn't say was "White people suck." I'm not really sure why not.
You know Einstein's definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. President Obama has proved that his policies don't work. Said so in the midterms, also adding that people didn't like the policies. But he is so damned arrogant he doesn't care. He is the "do nothing" president. That's what he set up last night. He is going to do nothing for the next two years.
He'd rather burn the union to the ground than to do anything good or healthy for those he is supposed to be responsible for. His pride is leading us to our fall.
The Union is good, despite my best efforts. So here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to veto anything congress passes, then demand that they work with me.
Divide the Union! Blame the Rich! Let the Terrorists win! Be a pussy on foreign affairs, and a beast to deal with at home! Peace out Bitches!
Yeah, that's it. The only thing he didn't say was "White people suck." I'm not really sure why not.

Human Trafficking Crisis
If you have been watching the news at all, surely you've heard about this crisis in Nigeria. One man and his small army has kidnapped nearly 300 girls as they were going to school, and has made a public video saying he is going to sell them as slaves, which probably means in the sex trade.
My question is this: why is this a bag deal?
Don't get me wrong. This is a big freaking deal. But why did it take nearly 300 girls kidnapped before it mattered? Shouldn't ONE girl be unacceptable? Should this be a big freaking deal everyday?
And believe me, this is an every single day issue. It happens all over the world. It happens right here in the United States. According to Unicef, it has been reported in all 50 states. Many of them are foster children.
Human trafficking can be forced labor (like migrant workers). Most often it is the sex trade. It happens like this: a fifteen year old girl goes to a typical high school party. After being roofied and raped, she is photographed and blackmailed. One girl's story, she told that she refused to go back, then her little dog disappeared. She got a call where she could hear the dog barking in the background, until she heard a gunshot. Then the caller said, "Your little brother's next." She went to a hotel room where twenty men took turns, and left her bleeding and broken in the hotel shower. When the maid came to clean, she called 911. They took her home, where her parents chastised her for running away from home.
This girl was picked up again the next night, and taken from Virginia to California, where she lived as a prostitute, locked in a fleabag motel, where she was raped daily until a police raid, when she was finally returned home.
I wept as I listened to her tell this story. What if this was your mom? You sister? Your daughter? Your niece? Your friend?
The question isn't why the case in Nigeria is a big deal. The question is why aren't the rest of them?
If you would like to help, I have recommended and will continue to recommend International Justice Mission. www.twitter.com/IJM, or www.ijm.org.

Double downs and blaspheming
I hope everyone had a nice Easter. Easter, in case you didn't know, is the holiday where Christians celebrate the fact that Jesus rose from the dead after dying for our sins. He proved he was the son of God, and provided forgiveness for sins and hope of eternal life.
Unless you're Al Sharpton. Al (I'm particularly using his first name as a sign of disrespect) has been up to no good. After admitting to being an informant (which could be considered a violation of the "confessional" privacy, much like doctor-patient or lawyer-client confidentiality). He was forced to be an informant because he tried to purchase crack, like an idiot.
But now he decided to add another charge to his file: blasphemy. He said that President Obama "has been crucified and resurrected." I know that some claim Obama is the new Messiah, but this is going a little too far, don't you think? Especially on Easter? Especially from a "reverend"?
I don't think Al Sharpton is worthy of reverence.
In the meantime, Harry Reid didn't want Al to have all of the attention. He decided to call the ranchers and anyone that agreed with them "Domestic terrorists." He repeated it a few time just make sure no one thought that he had spoken out of turn.
Nidal Hassan, who yelled "Allah Ackbar" before killing 13 people and injuring more than 30 more, was called "workplace violence," despite using the same cry suicide bombers use moments before their attacks.
Mass murder? That's sad. Wanting your cows back? Threat to our nation! We should stomp out anyone who likes beef immediately!

Threats from Harry Reid
Did you hear that Harry Reid is threatening people? It's true.
If you've not been watching the news, you may have missed the massive problem in Nevada, where the Federal Government walked in and seized this man's cattle off of disputed lands. The state of Nevada claims the land, and so does the federal government. So the federal government seized the cattle.
The federal government seized this guy's cattle, then sent in snipers and others which escalated tension. This led other people (my guess is Arian militia) went in, trying to get things violent, which caused the ranchers to be stuck between two groups. They ended up negotiating a peaceful settlement, getting back their cows. It seemed over.
Then Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid opened his stupid mouth.
Reid said, "We can't have an American people that violate the law and then just walk away from it. So it's not over."
He said this shortly after getting in trouble for embezzling money from his campaign to send to his relatives. How about we go after him for that?
What about people who illegally come into this country and pay no taxes? He's for amnesty. So let's go after a man for grazing cattle, but not illegals.
What about drugs? It is a federal crime to sell marijuana. But they're making medical marijuana legal in several states and the DC area. We can't have an American people that violate the law and walk away from it.
What about gun running? Let's go after Eric Holder for Fast and Furious.
Illegal IRS targeting of conservatives? We better go after the IRS for that. Also, there was a story that said that during audits, IRS agents wore Obama campaign buttons in 2012, and told people who they had to vote for.
Election fraud? Voter intimidation? Let's go after SEIU, ACORN, and the New Black Panthers. Of even the guy that they voted for.
Hm... When you put it that way, it sounds like there are a lot bigger problems than cows. Let's start with those.

What? Who's racist? A history lesson
So, several Democrats made statements about racism. Congressman Israel said that he believed "a significant portion of the Republican base" is racists.
Let's do a little history lesson here. Abraham Lincoln, signer of the Emancipation Proclamation, was a Republican. Those that went against him? Democrats.
When Dr. King was going around, Republican officials stood with them. The people turning fire hoses on the crowds and arresting them? Democrat governors.
Republicans believe that all men were created equal. Democrats believe things like "Voter ID laws are discriminatory. Minorities are incapable of passing the exam to get a driver's license, so they will be excluded." They also believe that minorities are incapable of achieving greatness in our country without a boost from the white man.
The only time I ever threatened a man with violence was when a friend of mine used the "n" word. I told him I'd kill him if he ever said it again. I guess that makes me racist too.
Democrats are always the first to point out race. "He's a black president." "He's a black quarter back." "She's a Latina musician." Most of us don't see race. We just see people.
Democrats are the ones who look at Col. Allen West and Dr. Benjamin Carson and say "You're traitors to your race" for stepping out of line and being conservative. Why don't you tell them to move to the back of the bus while you're at it?
Democrats say immigration issues are race based. For me, I'm not thinking of race. I just am tired of all those Canadians coming down here to use our health care and steal our jobs.
There is a saying that I think applies to all these democrats: "Me thinks (s)he doth protest too much." I think the reason they jump on everyone is because they assume everyone else is as racist as they are.
Think about that next time you watch Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, or so many others race bating.

Captain America for President
*** Warning! Contains Spoilers!***
You've been warned.
Ok, so yesterday I posted my review for Captain America: The Winter Solider. Well worth reading. Today, I'm going more for the message of Captain America.
Cap learns in the beginning of the movie that Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., commissioned three new helicarriers. Only these three were linked to satellites. These satellites took up information on everyone on the planet, things like spending records and who they talked to. They tracked google searches, text messages, and GPS locations. In doing so, they were able to compile information on everyone, like who they voted for, or whether or not they would lead people.
Kinda sound familiar, doesn't it? Not so fictitious, is it?
Then you have this conversation.
Fury- "We're going to start a lot of threats before they even happen."
Cap- "I thought the punishment usually came after the crime."
Cap ends up having to go on the run, hunted be the government, because he wouldn't help them propagate this kind of behavior. They declare him an enemy, and everyone is hunting him with the intent to kill.
I bet the IRS audited him for being a patriot too.
As it turns out, many of the leaders where secret working for Hydra, who was seeking to bring order to the world. People, they decided, couldn't be trusted with freedom. So they decided to push the world to chaos so that they could create order. They did things like ruined the economy, instituted socialist Health Care, and allowed terrorists to roam free, calling it things like "workplace violence" instead of terrorism.
Apparently Obama, Reid, and Pelosi are members of Hydra.
Remember those helicarriers? They were sent after people, not terrorists, but those view as true enemies of Hyrda, proponents of liberty. So they were going to do drone strikes on anyone that might become a leader of people that had values other than their own.
Remember when Obama said that conservatives, not terrorists where the greatest threat to America? Hail Hydra.
In the end, Captain America was willing to risk and even end his life in defense of freedom. And he called on others to do the same. "The cost of liberty is high, but it's a price I'm willing to pay."
Captain America is a conservative (this is something from the comics, especially seen in the Marvel Civil War). He believes in conservative values like freedom and choice. As opposed to so-called liberals, who believe in the government and have a war on liberty.
How long until Hydra comes knocking at your door? Will you fall in lock step, or pay the price?
Hail Hydra, or fight with Captain America. I know what I'd rather do.
You've been warned.
Ok, so yesterday I posted my review for Captain America: The Winter Solider. Well worth reading. Today, I'm going more for the message of Captain America.
Cap learns in the beginning of the movie that Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., commissioned three new helicarriers. Only these three were linked to satellites. These satellites took up information on everyone on the planet, things like spending records and who they talked to. They tracked google searches, text messages, and GPS locations. In doing so, they were able to compile information on everyone, like who they voted for, or whether or not they would lead people.
Kinda sound familiar, doesn't it? Not so fictitious, is it?
Then you have this conversation.
Fury- "We're going to start a lot of threats before they even happen."
Cap- "I thought the punishment usually came after the crime."

Captain America: The Winter Soldier
I very much anticipated this movie. I love Marvel movies. I love Captain America. I couldn't wait. They hype before the movie was even better than the Avengers. I must say, I enjoyed it. It's probably overall a better story and movie, but Avengers was more of an adrenaline rush for me personally. It hurt that aspect of it that I called many of the plot twists ahead of time. But that said, it was still a great movie, and lived up to the hype.
The movie is about Captain America trying to adjust to living in a new world, where the lines are more blurred than in the old one. In the mean time, you have this assassin that is running around, who is Cap's equal in every way. The Winter Soldier was just excellent. It was as good as a villain as you could hope for in any movie, and there was more villainy beyond!
I don't want to spoil many things, but there were some cameos that I didn't see coming. Quicksilver and The Scarlet Witch look great for Avengers 2. Falcon (whom they show in the previews) was fantastic. And they might have shown the back of Colson's head at one point. I guess Tuesdays Agents of SHEILD will reveal that.
I also want to say that I saw this movie with a girl who had not seen any of the rest of the Marvel Studios series, and she understood it all and enjoyed it. So even if you're not a fan of the comic genre and haven't see the rest GO SEE THIS MOVIE.
Like, right now.
Go.
What are you still doing there?
Shout out to the mention of Stephen Strange. Does that mean we can look for a Dr. Strange movie after Avengers 2? I hope so. Also, two words to anyone at Marvel. Black Panther. Just saying.
Tomorrow I will try to post another review with spoilers and plot info, so you might want to skip it.

Fort Hood, again
Fort Hood got shot up again. PTSD is apparently to blame. While I sympathize with mental illness and my heart goes out to the victims and families, I'm sick of the responses.
A man that was fired from CNN for being too liberal, if you can imagine such a thing, made an asinine statement. I'm so disgusted with him, that I won't even use his name, because he doesn't deserve the publicity. He said "'If only there'd been a good guy with a gun...' - such crap. This #FortHood soldier/shooter WAS a good guy. Until he turned bad, with a gun."
Are you kidding me? This idiot thinks that he was a good soldier, but someone having a Smith & Weston made him evil?
If all guns are evil, then by your own words, this man must have been evil before since he used guns as a soldier. And Cops are evil too. And the Secret Service. And your private security.
You self-inflated toilet bug! How DARE you attack the people that help us every day because they make us safe.
You want a solution? Here's an idea, to make our military safer, have them do what every other military in the world does. If they are in uniform and on base, they are armed. A side arm minimum. The truth is guns deter crime. Kentucky is one of the states with the least crime, and the most free gun laws. The areas with high crime in the US have the strictest gun laws. That is a FACT. They claim their crime comes from other places that sell guns, but most of the guns used in those crimes were illegally purchased, like from some guy's trunk.
The so-called nuclear deterrent works. Bad guys should be afraid of good guys, not the other way around. Gun laws don't work because criminals, be definition, don't obey the law.
But that's the difference between logic and "liberal" idealism. Logic examines facts and makes a decision, in this case that more freedom is a good thing. Liberals hate freedom these days. And they would never let a little thing like the facts stop them.

New job, same frustrations
So I started at a new church 2 months ago. I already have a family that's pretty well going to leave. Maybe more than one. Ready to hear why?
I touched the chairs.
We had more than two chairs for every person. I took it from 86 to 70. And we average about 42. Do we really need twice as many chairs as people? Nope. This is just dumb.
Think about it this way. Rather than sit somewhere else in the same church, they'd rather go to a different church.
Which change is more drastic? Which is harder?
My thinking is that if we give in on this, then they'll really hate it when I start really changing stuff. I also wonder, what am I worshipping in church, my fat butt, or the God of the Universe? I know my answer. How about yours?

Guy Brings His White Girl To Barbershop In Harlem And Gets Hated On By B...
Please watch this. This is personal to me. I've been mistreated because of my race before. Moreover, on both sides of my family, I have members that run the spectrum of race. I hate the fact that some of my cousins, before they were adopted, were told "No one wants you because your black." To me, they're just family.
I also love a quote that I heard from my dad, and I don't know who he got it from. He said, "If you don't like other races, don't go to heaven, because the Bible says there will be people of every language, ethnicity, and nation."

ObamaCare: A personal testimony
So the CBO report has been highly debated. Are people losing jobs, or are they walking away from extra jobs because they don't need them?
Well, my mother was nearly canned for insurance purposes. They ended up negotiating to drop full time employees to ensuring the employee only, not their family. Since my mom is both a widow and an empty-nester, this allowed her to stay. Her friend Brenda was not so fortunate. This 60 year old woman is now working the graveyard shift at Amazon.com's shipping center, doing hard manual labor in 10-12 hour shifts just for insurance coverage. Where's her promised "freedom"?
What the Democrats call "job lock" we once called "having a steady job."
I've recently become employed once more. But I took a pay cut of 1/4th, and have to provide my own insurance. My good friend John Thompson is sending me a monthly check to cover that for the next year. That's a big relief.
That said, my insurance cost before Obamacare was $65 per month. Now it is $237.16. And since they regulate the market, I was not able to find private insurance any cheaper, because Obama tells the companies what they will pay and what they will cover, as well as who your doctor will be. It's a government HMO. Thanks for that.
Another thing that changed in the law is that now, I have to have maternity coverage. You know, in case I give birth. Now, if I knocked a girl up, she has to have her own coverage. This won't roll over to her. Nope. This is in case I give birth. I also have to have pediatric dental coverage. You know, to cover the dental care for kids that I don't have. And I am required by Federal Law to purchase this.
Now here's the fun part. When I went to get private health insurance, I was required to buy this separately. But when I tried to do this, I was asked for my child's name and Social Security number, which I can't provide because I don't have a kid. So it is ILLEGAL for my to buy what I am LEGALLY REQUIRED to buy.
All that was done so that I was federally required to buy directly from HealthCare.gov.
So much for my freedom. Thanks President Obama.

12 years ago, 10:05 AM, the bell rang to let me out of Algerbra 2. I was met by a friend, who informed me that terrorists had hijacked airplanes and were ramming them into buildings. I arrogantly informed him "No one would be dumb enough to attack the United States" (Oh how foolish of me) I walked into US History, and saw one smoking tower on the TV, and heard Peter Jennings say that the other had collapsed minutes before, and that a third plane had hit the pentagon. When the bell rang to start US History class, the teacher stated simply, "This is history." And we watched the TV in silence for the rest of class.

Syria
Let's look past rhetoric to some truth.
Truth #1: You should judge people by their words. Senator Obama would impeach President Obama for attacking Syria. Eating crow doesn't quite cover it.
Truth #2: For once there is bipartisan support for something in Washington. It's amazing how many in Congress think we should do something in Syria, despite surveys that say EIGHT-SEVEN PERCENT of American oppose action in Syria. This shows just how disconnected Washington is from the American people. We've got to kick these guys out and start over.
Truth #3: The international community won't back the play because of reports that say that groups within the rebels, actually Al Queda terrorsts and affiliates, took the weapons and killed their own people to force our involvement. Putin publicly said so, and the Obama administration responded "That's stupid." No facts, of course, just that they don't like the report.
Truth #4: Sun Tzu (the guy who LITERALLY wrote the manual on conducting warfare, called "The Art of War"), thinks this is a bad idea. He said that the loser attacks, and then determines the terms of victory. The winner decides terms of victory, then attacks. We have no objects, and innocent people will die by us dropping random bombs, then we may spark retaliation again Israel and other allies in the region, not to mention our own embassies. Oh wait. Obama's fine with those being attacked.
4b: Sun Tzu also said the deception and surprise were keys to success. We have neither. If we were going to do something, we should have done it first. It's easier to get forgiveness than permission, especially if the world thinks you are as weak as Obama.
Truth #5: We can't hope to win. The President of Syria is evil, but he's holding a greater evil at bay, just like Egypt and Libya. Hopefully we learned out lesson. If Al Queda wins in Syria, we lose, big time. If we go in and accomplish nothing, we've just ticked off the entire world for nothing. If we help the Syrian President, then we've added to the more than one hundred thousand deaths there already. Let's learn from history, and just keep our noses clean and mind our own business.

I Have a Dream 50th
What is the dream? The Dream is that we realize the truth found in Scripture and stated simply by our founding fathers: that all men are created equal.
Created by who? MLK said it was "God Almighty." That's the thing. This isn't about what the government who gave us freedom. It was God. In fact, Dueteronomy warns us that governments oppress people. And they still do.
MLK's dream was for racial justice. This still doesn't happen. Whites are "evil rich people." Blacks are "dangerous criminals." Everyone else is here illegally. Yes, prejudice is everywhere.
MLK also said "Don't blame our white brothers." As he pointed out, many white people where there marching with them. Racism isn't a White issue, or a Black issue. It's a sin issue. That's right, sin. God said in Christ there is no difference between race or gender. We're all equal in sin, and made equal again if we accept God's grace and repent of those sins. We need freedom that is found in Christ Jesus. This includes Americans and non-Americans, rich and poor.
Today we are still fighting these battles. Democrats keep people locked in ghettos and in chains of government dependence. Republicans ignore people. Both parties act their way because all they care about is taking power, and not about the people that they step on to get that party.
Some say "We're doing better. We have a black president." We're doing better. But that's not why. MLK wanted people judged by content of character, not race. Voting for someone because he's black is the same as not voting for him because he's black. The fact that race is noticed is still racist. I've made no secret that I agree with little that Obama does, but those disagreements are philophical, not race. Being a minister, baptizing whites, blacks, hispanics, you just celebrate because they're people that matter to God.
I have a dream where all people realize God's love and treat each other just as that: people.

Equality?
Our nation took another step away from freedom in the name of tolerance. The Supreme Court said that states had no ability to define marriage. Gay marriage is now ok.
Here's the problem. The Federal Government doesn't issue marriage liscences. Marriage is 100% a state issue. I know. I've performed weddings in four states.
This is just one more case of the liberals in Washington stripping away our rights, especially the first amendment. This isn't equality. In truth, in everything that is right, the government should recognize "civil unions" for hetero or homo. Marriage should be left where it started, in the church, ordained by God.

Enemy of the State?
So... our country seems to have some trouble lately. With Fort Hood shootings, Sandyhook Elementary, the Boston bombings, we are under attack. There are nearly regular shootings by the mentally unstable and attacks by terrorists.
Yet, our government seems to be confused as to who the enemies of our nation are. The State Department went after our dead ambassador. The DOJ went after the media. The IRS went after conservatives. The NSA is going after everyone.
This, for some reason, is surprising. I don't know why. They've been doing it for years. We knew they were doing it. There's a movie called "Enemy of the State" staring Gene Hackman, John Voit, and Will Smith. We're living it. Political opponents are enemies, while people trying to kill us must be our victims.
That said, if you're asking me is this Snowden or whatever his name is is a hero for leaking, my answer is no. If he thought he was being brave and doing the right thing, he wouldn't have run away. He would have stood in public and taken the consequences. That's the difference between standing for a conviction and just being a turd.
In the mean time, our nation's leaders need to learn the difference between our friends and our enemies. The IRS did this political bullying because Obama has created a culture of corruption and favoritism. He's McCarthyism and Nixon all rolled in one, and no one cares. It's really sad.
