DISHONESTY ENDEMIC IN OUR GOVERNMENT

By on June 12, 2013 in Politics & Government

     Nobody knows nothin’.

     We supposedly have the highest level of expertise in key positions inside our government representing the citizens of this country, but when it comes to knowing what is going on in their agencies, they point in every direction other than themselves.

     Sadly, the American culture has come to accept lying and cheating as normality. We don’t get offended any more we take it as, “everybody does it, so what?” What a great standard for our next generation to follow. Meanwhile, when national leaders find themselves on the hot seat for MAJOR and SERIOUS misdeeds in their organizations for which they are responsible, they become dumber than mud.

     Which presents one of two solutions:  They are either lying or they are totally incompetent. Yet, according to certain elements of the media and the political spectrum, either is okay.  It doesn’t matter. Just blame it on dirty politics and divert attention.

     Every member of congress, both houses, should be united shoulder to shoulder as Americans, with outrage toward the litany of lies, subterfuge, denials and diversions these cowards should be held accountable for. Yes, “cowards,” for it they had an ounce of integrity, they …

AN APOSTATE SPEAKS OUT

By on June 8, 2013 in Politics & Government, Radical Islam
Arab-born German citizen, Nasim Ben Iman wrote a book “Der Wahre Feind” (The True Enemy) and has been an outspoken apostate (former Muslim) risking his life to warn the western world of the long range dangers of fundamentalist Islam.
 
He states the rapid progress of Islamic conquest would not be possible if not for naivety of western cultures that refuse to see the obvious, claiming we are “asleep” while the growth of radicalism marches on. He also talks about the mosques, how public statements by Muslims in Germany are completely opposite than what is preached inside. This is worth the ten minutes, with English translation.

THE SNUBBING OF MARGARET THATCHER

By on June 6, 2013 in Politics & Government

     This may seem an inane issue with all the scandals going on. However, a recent incident that received little notice needs to be resurrected, because it symbolizes what we have representing our nation as leaders.

     In the French language, there is a term known as “Savoir Faire.”  It means knowing to do the right thing in sensitive situations, even though is has nothing to do with laws or rules. It shows compassion; sophistication and class. It’s particularly important when dealing in diplomacy.

     Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher passed away on April 8th, 2013. Her funeral was held on April 17th. Mrs. Thatcher was the British leader over eleven years, transcending the terms of Presidents Carter, Reagan and Bush I. She was among the most compelling international figures of the 20th century and a fierce ally of the United States.

     President Obama’s administration elected to snub the Thatcher funeral. Not only did the president take a pass, not a single high-ranking member of the current Obama administration was dispatched to show respect for the Iron Lady and the British people in general. Attendance by a couple ancient Secretaries of State …

CHECK THE FACTS MR. PRESIDENT. YOU’RE WRONG ON MUSLIMS

By on May 28, 2013 in Politics & Government, Radical Islam

     True to his nature, President Obama consistently defends Islam. He found it necessary in his speech last week to assure us we are “not at war with Islam.”  Ironically, he orated the exact same statement in 2009, four years ago. Why must he continually tell us we’re not at war with Islam? President Bush told us the same thing in 2001. If we are constantly being told we’re not at war against Islam, there must be a reason. Eh?

       In Cairo, 2009, he even told the world that Islam had made many contributions to American life. Even the liberals are still scratching their heads over that one.

     Our last two presidents have said that Islam is “a religion of peace” and should not be held responsible for all the turmoil in the world, that it’s only the work of a few “extremists.” In that speech last week, Mr. Obama goes on to claim that the Muslim American community has, “consistently rejected terrorism”

     Is that so?  Let’s check the record.

     Studies have been conducted by a number of organizations to determine how the Muslim American (and international) community feels toward the United States, their attitude about …

A FRANK MOVIE REVIEW: “A LATE QUARTET” – 9 1/2

By on May 26, 2013 in General, Movies and Music, Music

Rarely do I write movie reviews from viewing a rental. But there are some readers who need to know about this picture.

“A Late Quartet” (rel. 2012) is for viewers who appreciate great drama about human passion, with fine acting and some good excerpts of classical music. Add to the story; love, lust, obsession, infidelity, trust, the bane of aging and how music embodies the very soul of dedicated lifetime musicians.

Twenty-five years of performing quartet music around the world, four artists bonded as a virtual family, but one that eventually breaks apart as latent jealousies emerge and one member develop a debilitating illness which threatens the future existence of the foursome.

The four love one another as they would love their own children, parents and spouses rolled into one. But the once that stable house of cards crumbles, never-before known feelings about one another out into the open. The story offers unpredictable struggles that may shock the viewer, realizing that these master musicians are only human after all.

The stars: Christopher Walken, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Catherine Keener and Mark Ivanir, are as good as they get.

Some critics of the movie will be musicians like myself who immediately detect …

ONE WEEK’S RECAP FOR THE RELIGION OF PEACE

By on May 24, 2013 in Politics & Government, Radical Islam

       This blog will present an average week in the world of Islam, the religion of peace, and minimize the editorials.  Rather, I’ll provide the links to several current articles and allow readers decide for themselves. We don’t hear about most of this is the mainstream media because, frankly speaking, it’s too much to keep up with.

      First, please visit this web site and note the statistics on the left column. 

      www.thereligionofpeace.com

     Thus far, since 9/11/01, there have been nearly 21,000 documented acts of terror, perpetrated by Islamists, resulting in random heaps of dead bodies – mostly Muslims. This does not count war dead in Afghanistan and Iraq.

     We’re told that it’s only a few “extremists” that are causing the problems and that Islam is a religion of peace. 

     Nevertheless, the Monthly Islamic Jihad international terror report for April 2013 stacks up like this:

      202 Attacks

      25 CountrieS

     957 Dead bodies

    2403 Critically injured

 Bear in mind, these are all at the whim of the Religion of Peace, which – according to our nation’s government – should never be associated with terrorism. You heard me right; …

ADD FORT HOOD TERRORISM TO THE LIST OF OBAMA SCANDALS

By on May 21, 2013 in Politics & Government, Radical Islam

In the midst of all the scandals involving the president’s administration, lost in the shuffle is one of the worst of all, now reduced to a bare blip in the order of priorities because so much time has passed. No doubt, that’s the way the president wants it.

     There are those who would not consider the mass murder of thirteen military personnel and wounding of more than thirty a “scandal” per se. By itself, it should not be a scandal. It’s the follow-up by the administration, of lack thereof, that is scandalous. It’s the fact that the shooting occurred at all, in view of the plethora of lead-up evidence that an Anti-American, enemy combatant was not only embraced, he was promoted as a mole within the U.S. Army; Terrorism on the ready-line, compliments of Islamic Political Correctness.

     If that’s not a scandal, what is?

      How else would one categorize an act of terror in America for which nothing has been done in 3 ½ years, other than a perfunctory arrest?

     The second deadliest terror attack on U.S. soil in the history of this country, took place November 5th, 2009, within the confines of a …
