Shame and Deception
Our political candidates have reached a new low - without
exception, all are guilty of these acts.
Looking at the current events and how our
world has changed and evolved around politics and religion, I don’t know if
there is a point of reversing what and who we have become. I mean, there is
something profoundly wrong with America as it stands today, divided, fragmented
and changing in so many bitter ways.
All those running for the office of
President threaten to make it worse. They have, collectively, managed to
increase the hate and fear inside America towards epic and gigantic
proportions. They have accomplished nothing but spread hate, lies and religious
blasphemy as well as creating deliberate delays of political pandering within
their own parties. Every threat they deliver makes it worse for the rest of us
to bear such intolerance and hate.
All candidates have been revulsive and
tempestuous in character and nature. Each of them have taken the low moral road
to sell their souls and name to the public and beg them to casts votes for
them. It is indeed, repulsive and un-characteristic of any nobility in name or
character.
All are seeking to be accepted by the
moderates of society and the extremists of race baiting and religious
persecutions. They have no appeal to those who still believe in equality for
men under our Constitution. This relationship of dividing ideologies has
divided our nation.
This fighting and bickering will get
nothing done for the good of America except to destroy it from within. Each and
every one of them are solely responsible for the hate, fear and biases they are
spreading and making assertions that their action would make America great
again.
None have experienced or delivered any real
achievements – none with no exceptions. Every one of them have engaged in
theology instead of patriotism and basic American ideologies rooted in our
communities and homes.
None have expressed specific concerns on
creating hope for peace, jobs and unity amongst the people instead of war, hate
and fear. America has to push back and find better candidates. Even the least
of the evil is the worst for the job. If we are to have a chance to avoid war,
hatred and discrimination, we need to find another candidate not on the stage
today.
They all deflect the blame and accept none
of it for themselves. They have delayed their plans in fear that it would be
unpopular or unrealistic under the current climate or political wishes of the
country. In other words, every one of them are cowardice in their roles and
presentations.
Those who do speak, spoke without the
political knowledge how to do such things – they are shooting off the hip and
hoping that the spraying of words will hit someone or something strong enough
to take hold. Unfortunately, the only thing spewed so far is hate and distrust
of government and those who work for it.
Each are pandering to who they believe to
be their favorite audience whether rich or poor, they prefer the rich to raise
the money they need to endure the campaign financial stressors. They have yet
to appeal to the average citizen, the military veterans and the students who know
more than they lead us to believe as they study the left and the right for
better ideas or imperfections.
Their speeches give me visions of allusions
to radicals and not the average person. None are promoting or developing trust
in each other as a nation but rather chose to divide us all based on race and
religion. Each candidate has dug deep into their bags of tricks and their words
are codes for different meanings.
Whatever it is they say, it has an exactly
backwards meaning. None can be trusted and none will rule the country with any
soundness or justice for the people and offer sound leadership. It looks like
they are imitating each other but use different words.

Two Poker Players in DC - both "all-in"
Two Poker Players - both are Losers
Showing they are” all–in”
Today, America is at war – we are at war in Iraq, Syria and likely in many
other places not yet declared officially by our President or our Congress. It
seems to be a pattern of inexcusable misconduct by the administration and
Congress. We have allies who are reluctant to participate to the fullest and we
have Russia joining the cause to satisfy their own needs and desires on NATO’s
side of the world.
Why are we at war? There is no good reason for our men and women to be
fighting on foreign soil for foreign oil. That needs to be addressed and a
withdrawal should be planned. We have ISIS as an enemy and Israel as an ally –
Somehow, I think the two are related in some ways but it’s hard to tell because
everybody is lying about the war and how it started and how it is funded.
Which brings us home – where the tension between Muslims and Christians
have elevated to epic proportions. Soon, we will be fighting a Christian
Crusade on two sides of the world with one inside our country. What caused this
mess – our government and their corruptive deals with corporate greed and world
lust for power. Maybe if climate change was real, we would have a reason to
dispute but not be at war.
President Obama has turned his back on the USA – the USA has turned its
back on good old values and the country is now deeply divided. There are
choices but nobody wants to make them including the next president elect who
will be selected, not elected. The sounds of silence are deafening. The
writings are on the walls.
Iraq will never be united as long as the Kurds fight the Sunni – the Sunni
will never be in control as long as they can’t compromise and stop fighting
century old enemies that include those financing their enemies.
Saudi Arabia is raping the region with their cruel and brutal Sharia laws
and other countries shall soon fall. Syria will fall but Iran will be there to
catch it. ISIS will be there to take the spoils and make a deal with Russia and
Iran while Turkey remains rich, as it keeps dealing oil under the table to keep
their politicians in power and riches.
At home, we have a poker game between democrats and republicans. None
appear to be winning and all appear to be losing the confidence of the American
people. The deck is stacked. One side wants more boots on the ground in Syria
and the other opposes it. Mixed motives for all the wrong reasons.
Obama is bluffing and he is stalling to end the poker game – Trump has
shown he is no deal maker and a heartbreaker as he destroys basic human values
with his words and promises deeds unlike anyone before. High stakes with
nothing to win and standing to lose everything we have today.
All are denigrating the office of the President, including the sitting
president. America has no Commander in Chief and the world is watching. So
while the President does nothing to win this war, and Trump does everything to
destroy our abilities to get along with each other, the world keeps turning
waiting for the USA to fall and go broke in this high stakes poker game in DC.
Banning Gun Sales on the No-Fly List
Terror and the No-Fly
list –
Why banning guns can’t
stop Radicalized Muslim Attacks
The entire country is in an uproar about the latest
failure by Congress to approve the “no-guns” bill based on the FBI’s “no-fly”
list that has many ramifications when you look at how it is compiled and put
together. Setting aside the fact that Americans are not ready to sign over
their constitutional rights to own a gun, this method of identifying gun
terrorism is deeply flawed and would not have stopped the San Bernardino mass
shooting.
However, California has decided that this is a proposed
legislation they can live with and want to pass it into their already strict
gun laws. The senators, representatives and the governor all feel safer knowing
that if you can’t fly a plane, you can’t own guns.
The logic escapes me by a longshot but I can’t think like
a politician. Owning a firearm should not be curtailed by random or arbitrary
decisions based by the FBI. This list has approximately 47 K names on it and so
far, none of the shooters involved in the past were on that list. The
correlation that California lawmakers are referring to is mythical and
unreasonable but they will do anything in the name of gun control including
blaming Arizona and Nevada for their state laws concerning the ownership and
sales of guns.
Thus the ‘can’t fly – can’t buy’ laws are now under
consideration by California and I am certain, other states that engage in such
limited thinking on gun control. The problem- the list is not accurate and
draws fire even from gun control activists throughout the country. It’s that
bad.
This collaboration of creating such a list defines
‘secrecy’ and incompetence as a vastly overbroad mechanism that manifests gun
bans in its purest form based on rumors, and acts that could not be proven to
be true or accurate. This list consists of names of ex-military, publishers of
left-wing and right wing extremists, priests and nuns who have expressed
resistance on immigration and human rights issues, journalists and Greenpeace
and Green party affiliates.
An interesting fact revealed in a 2007 Department of Justice
audit revealed half of these people listed on the no fly list were wrongly
included and if this can happen to them, it can happen to you and reduce your
abilities to travel unrestricted and ban you from owning a firearm for any
reasons as this list is created based or applied on no actual basis or aspects
of facts and your lifestyle. It is profiling at its best without a
justification to do so.
The bigger problem is a more philosophical one: if you
apply the no-fly list to guns, to what else can it be applied? Slippery slope
arguments are slippery things, but in this case it’s a reasonable question to
ask. If the no-fly list can be used to remove constitutional rights, there’s
really no limitations on ways it could be used to limit other activities.
Are you ready to give up your Bill of Rights to our
government's discretionary decision making? I didn't think so yet, you are
willing to let them decide who flies and who can own or purchase guns based on
a flawed methodology.

Muslims are Punked out by President Obama
How Obama’s Terrorism Speech Has Punked
out Muslims in America
One
of the main aim of doctrine of rational thinking on gun control is to limit the
access of guns by American identified as ‘high risk’ by government officials. Unfortunately,
just the opposite event occurred after the weakest intonated and mind-numbing
speech came out of the President’s Oval Office directly related to the San
Bernardino mass shooting was to focus on more gun control.
It appears now that gun
sales are soaring all across the country as many Americans come to believe that
Barack Obama and his Democrat cohorts are coming for our guns. Adversely, the
President has become the most prolific gun salesman in the country after Sunday
evening’s speech.
The mere mention of
legislative changes, executive orders and other harder methods to buy guns
including the high capacity type of firearms, has set off a firestorm of gun
buyers nationwide.
Since Black Friday, the
day after Thanksgiving Day, gun sales have been soaring. This increased
exponentially after the mass shooting in San Bernardino and now still,
Americans are shopping for firearms.
In the meantime,
American Muslims are at the edge of irritation and disappointment in their
leader. He has punked them out by telling them to snitch off those suspected of
extremism or radicalization.
In so many words, his
request to “root out” and confront extremist in their communities is pitting
Muslims against each other with severe mixed feelings and emotions. Some say,
this might help but many say this will divide the religious persecution already
in place.
One person said, "We would never ask any other faith community to stand up and condemn
acts of violence committed by people within their groups," said
Palestinian American activist Linda Sarsour, who has worked extensively with
the Black Lives Matter movement and other minority groups. "The fact that
this is only directed at the Muslim community is something that I personally
can't accept."
The president has crossed lines without realizing how his
words were perceived or received by the American public, gun buyers and Muslims.
Pitting Muslims against each other is morally wrong and puts them at conflict
with their own ideologies and trust within their societal circles.
Religious agreements are normally sanctified and
confidential and empowering or enabling Muslims to snitch off other Muslims
will create conflict and inner confrontations amongst the Muslim followers and
leadership.
Any reasonable person can see how this ties into the
relationship between law enforcement and the community if the Muslim community
is expected to deal with a different relationship with cops than anyone else in
the community.
