Yet, we continue to elect those that would sell away are rights for a little bit of power and money.  That’s what it is folks.  Our politicians and  legislators don’t give a damn about our country or our safety.  They do care about that next election, fund raiser and stock option.  So don’t be fooled we are fighting them all.

A New Vantage Point: Syria

One of the greatest aspects of traveling is the way it informs our worldview.  That idea may just be suggested by our blog's title.  After living in the UAE for the better part of a year, I've made many acquaintances and built some relationships.  These allow me to see things from a different perspective.  One of these relationships is with a fellow from Syria.

An interesting take on Syria. Something you won't hear from those so happy to assist the rebels.

Didn’t see this coming? Well you should have.

Benghazi – lies and cover ups.  The President and key White House officials to include Hillary Clinton and Susan Rice advance the idea that the Benghazi attack was a result of riots from an obscure youtube video.  Which we now know (I knew then, and again) was not true. I know some of you will scream what about Bush?  He started it.  He lied first.  Except he didn’t and it doesn’t matter anyway.  Do we allow it now?  If so we can expect nothing less in the future.

IRS – Targeted Conservative and Tea party groups and more likely anyone that was a potential threat.  Nothing to see here?  Again, if we allow it don’t whine when the tables are turned.

Phone records of AP – Couldn’t happen to a nicer group but still.  Doesn’t it make you feel just a little bit uneasy? I’m sure it was innocent. Do you really want our government to act in this manner? It’s one thing to request records for a narrow search in an investigation but this seems a bit wide ranging.  

Still no reaction?

Fast and furious – Obama administration sold guns to Mexican drug lords then has the nerve to whine abut Americans and guns while in Mexico.

Release of illegals just before sequester.  Nice timing. 

Election fraud convictions -  Should Obama have ever even been on the ballot? 

Syria, Libya, Iran, Korea – no policy what so ever.

Afghanistan – dealing with the poppy farmers now, not that we were ever really threatening them. 

No budget –

But hey stock market is high and the rich are getting…. what’?  I thought that only happened under GOP leadership.  Hummmm.

I know it’s all just the “vast right wing conspiracy”. 

Vast right-wing conspiracy" was a theory advanced by then First Lady of the United States Hillary Rodham Clinton in 1998 in defense of her husband, President Bill Clinton, and his administration during the Lewinsky scandal, characterizing the Lewinsky charges as the latest in a long, organized, collaborative series of charges by Clinton’s political enemies. The Starr Report found that the Lewinsky affair had not been fabricated. The term has been used since, including in a question posed to Bill Clinton in 2009 to describe attacks on Barack Obama during his early presidency. ~ Wikipedia

Which was of course not a conspiracy but the truth.

Parsing of words, General Dempsey clarify please

Sen Graham Calls Benghazi Testimony of Joint Chiefs’ Chairman into Question

I’m not a Graham fan but he might have a point here. 

It all depends on what is is?

In particular, Graham said Dempsey’s claim that "no one was told to stand down is now in question."

Said Graham:

I asked [Gen. Dempsey] directly, were there any military assets in motion to help folks in Benghazi, [that were] told to stand down? And what did [State Department whistle-blower] Gregory Hicks say? That Lt. Col. Steve Gibson–a DOD employee, a member of the Army–was in Tripoli, ready and willing to go to Benghazi, preparing to go to Benghazi, and was told to stand down.

Graham said he’d like to see Dempsey recalled "to clarify testimony on Benghazi."

Asked about Graham’s comments, Pentagon spokesman Major Rob Firman seemed to back Dempsey’s story: "They weren’t told to stand down. They were simply told not to go to Benghazi. They were told to go to the airport in Tripoli to provide security there."

A spokesman for the Joint Chiefs said Graham can recall Dempsey to testify if he likes, but Dempsey will not change his testimony.

Windows 8 Oh nooooooo!!!

May 7, 2013 by

It’s seems Microsoft have upset a number of computer users with the new Windows 8 release. Many people apparently don’t like the new "Metro" interface and want their old start button back. I thought of these issues as I bought my new computer. My old well traveled Laptop was starting to randomly overheat and crash and I needed something new. But windows 8? It sounded so terrible and nearly unusable.

Well I’ve had my new computer for a couple of weeks now and either the world is full of idiots, entirely possible based on current trends, or this is more hype than reality. I must be the only guy around that likes Windows 8. It’s not hard to use. Yes, it’s not the same interface. So, what. It took a total of maybe two days to find everything I needed within the Metro interface and some new items I didn’t know about.

It takes a little customization but once you get it set up, about an hour of real time, it’s pretty nice. I don’t have a touch screen so it’s not that either. The mouse works just fine.

Sometimes I think tech geeks (ok everyone) just like to whine. You know there are people that still say command line is the only way to do anything.

Windows 8 may not appeal to you but don’t let the critics fool you. It’s not because Microsoft screwed up on this one. If you prefer and older version, another OS, well that’s ok. I’ve used many of them and like them all to some extent.

Now with the upcoming "fix", even those not quite quick enough to find items without a start button will be able to operate Windows 8.

Note: Yes, I would love an apple, when they are priced for average income people I’ll run right out and get one. But as it is I can buy two new PCs for the price of one Apple. Someone hire me for a high paying job and I’ll be glad to support all computer systems.

Now if I can just get something better than a Net10 non-smart phone someday.

Dems Now Slam Rice’s Benghazi Account, Amid New Damaging Details

Congressional Democrats on Sunday distanced themselves from the Obama administration’s explanation of the Benghazi, Libya, attacks in the immediate aftermath of the fatal strikes, amid mounting evidence that suggests the information was revised to intentionally mislead Americans.

Syria, lets make more Jihadist happy?

April 26, 2013 by

Am I missing something here. It seems we have a fair amount of politicians that want us to intervene in Syria. Exactly what they want us to do is unclear other than arming our other enemies. Much like the Gun-Control crowd the cry is to do something, anything. Well what?

Should we arm the Syrian resistance? You know the ones filled with Islamic extremist? Those rebels? Perhaps these genius politicians know another group competing for power that are just a little bit more friendly to western ideas. Let’s look back in time just a bit at say, Egypt. We supported the rebels there. A great group of liberal Democrats. You know the Muslim Brotherhood. Yeah that’s working out swell.

Maybe I just don’t see the threat as clearly as the “Maverick” John McCain and that combat lawyer reservist Lindsey Graham. Just how is arming and moving into power a more unstable group of nitwits going to benefit us.

Ok Assad may have used Chemical Weapons against the Rebels.  With conflicting evidence we see everyone clamoring that the “Red Line” has been crossed. Oh no! Really?  Um and I should care why? Because if we help the rebels remove Assad those chemical weapons will be in safer hands?  Humm.

President Obama seems reluctant to take a stand on this one. I know, a big surprise there huh? Will he let others whose objectives are unclear, lead him to another foreign policy disaster?

Look, if we want to remove Assad, then let’s just do it ourselves. How’s about we not give more weapons to radical jihadist than we already have.

Mississippi man released after arrest in ricin-letter probe
This is why we have constitutional rights.  What would have happened had this individual been declared an enemy combatant?

Two sources had earlier confirmed to Fox News that the FBI was looking into the possibility that he might have been framed as part of a grudge against him from someone in his neighborhood. A detention hearing for Paul Kevin Curtis that was scheduled for Tuesday has also been postponed.

The development comes after investigators said they hadn’t found any ricin in his house. Agent Brandon Grant said that a search of Curtis’ vehicle and house in Corinth, Miss., on Friday did not turn up ricin or ingredients for the poison. A search of Curtis’ computers has found no evidence so far that he researched making ricin.

Now this doesn’t mean he’s innocent.  But actual evidence would be nice.  curtis

Michelle Malkin has the Immigration bill covered

April 23, 2013 by

Michelle Malkin has read the current immigrations bill and has a few thoughts. Check out the key points:

Dissecting the Gang of 8′s enforcement sham

I’ve read through the nearly 900-page “immigration reform” bill released by the Senate’s so-called Gang of 8 last week. Anyone can read it here. The question, of course, is whether non-deluded conservatives can read right through the phony promises, false triggers, and open-borders illusions

Three Flaws in the The Bill’s Amnesty Provisions.

(1) The Background Checks Are Insufficient to Prevent Terrorists from Gaining Amnesty.

The background check provisions of the bill in Section 2101(b)(8) contain no requirement that amnesty applicants actually provide government-issued documentation proving who they say they are.

(2) Absconders and Aliens Who Have Already Been Deported Claim the Amnesty.

One provision of the bill is particularly counterproductive with respect to immigration enforcement. Unlike the amnesty of 1986, and unlike the various smaller amnesties that have been enacted since then (such as the “Section 245i” amnesty), this bill actually allows illegal aliens who have already been deported from the United States to return and gain the amnesty. Sections 2101(b)(6)(B)-(C) do so.

(3) The Bill Legalizes Dangerous Aliens Who Received Deferred Action Under DACA.

Sections 2101(b)(13 and 2103(b)(2)(C) permits beneficiaries of Secretary Napolitano’s unlawful DACA directive of June 2012 to become eligible for the amnesty and for lawful permanent resident status. The DACA Directive was issued by Secretary Napolitano in direct violation of federal law, specifically 8 U.S.C. § 1225, which requires that immigration officials place certain aliens into removal proceedings. 8 U.S.C. § 1225(a)(1) requires that “an alien present in the United States who has not been admitted … shall be deemed for purposes of this chapter an applicant for admission.” This designation triggers 8 U.S.C. § 1225(a)(3), which requires that all applicants for admission “shall be inspected by immigration officers.” This in turn triggers 8 U.S.C. § 1225(b)(2)(A), which mandates that “if the examining immigration officer determines that an alien seeking admission is not clearly and beyond a doubt entitled to be admitted, the alien shall be detained for a proceeding under section 1229a of this title.” The proceedings under 8 U.S.C. § 1229a are removal proceedings in United States Immigration Courts.

That’s just for starters.  She also covers “Six Reasons Why The Bill’s Enforcement Provisions are not Serious".”
