I haven't written here in sometime, having other urgent matters to attend to. What hasn't occurred as of late is the capture or termination of Kaddafi by anyone, Nato or the ‘opposition' who we still don't know who they are or what political ideology constitutes it.
Six months into a military action which was only going to take days goes on still and, we've waited and watched as Kaddafi family members found friendly nations to run to, some to Algeria and Niger.
The fighting goes on.
Hurricane Irene swept through and washed and flooded a good part of the coast of the U.S. Some areas still suffer. A simply prolonged rain recently in the past week again, washed and flooded a good part of the east coast again. This occurred while Texas suffers from a drought and wildfires, which have not been seen since the 1880s.
All of this is just weather, not pattern. There's no Anthropomorphic [manmade] Global Warming. Weather isn't climate, and weather happens everyday.
President Obama isn't fairing well in the popularity polls, so much so, that republican may just take a seat long held by democrats:
Turner ahead in NY-9 with 24 hours to go
This is every important for the republicans, especially when the nation is heading into the 2012 election year.

Muammar Gaddafi isn't going away anything soon it appears, no matter what the ‘rebels' or the Nato may be saying or doing:
"There were pro-rebel celebrations on the main squares in Tripoli and Benghazi late into Tuesday night but many people are reluctant to celebrate openly until Col Gaddafi and his sons are captured, the BBC's Wyre Davies reports from the city.â€
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-14641572
First of all, no one can find Gaddafi, and his sons are roaming free, supposedly after being ‘taken captive' by the opposition.
What's going on? No one knows and celebrating ‘rebels' aren't changing that. We do know one important thing. Gaddafi is alive and free:
"In a radio speech rebroadcast on a Libyan satellite TV channel, Col Gaddafi pledged "martyrdom or victory" in the fight against Nato and the Libyan rebels.â€
Some may say his time is short, but what are they basing that on. Fighting continues between the two sides and Nato is still bombing targets inside Tripoli.
Propaganda is being used on both sides, and since propaganda isn't a collection of facts this conflict isn't over and a winner can't be declared, not yet.

Every bubble breaks, from the one created by the child's bubble wand to the one created by government's association with any entity beyond the Beltway. The real estate bubble, not just popped, but exploded, and the economy has not recovered, nor has government tinkering helped. The next bubble to detonate, as Americans struggle with the basic costs of food, fuel and government gluttony called taxation, is the education bubble.
The cost of a four-year degree is simply too much. How can that be? Let's face it, anyone can go to college now. That statement sounds sinister doesn't it. Let's try it again:
Anyone can go to college.
Hum?
Well, yes, the statement is true. And it has to be true. Federal law says so. No one can be discriminated against. That's a good thing, but why then does the statement: "Anyone can go to college†have a certain obtuse ring? I suspect that most people who are ‘aware' recognized the fact that there are some people who shouldn't be in college. There are some people who should be at trade school or an apprenticeship. Nothing wrong with that. Most people need a plumber before the need a brain surgeon.
Every graduate from high school is exhorted to go to college. A "college education is the only way to get a good paying job.†We know that is simply not true. The college graduate with the psychology or computer science degree working in retail is a prime example of the fallacy of "college education is the only way to get a good paying job.â€
So, what is the problem? The problem is "Anyone can go to college.†Anyone can enter an institution of higher education. Not necessarily a college or university of their choice, but there is some institution somewhere who will accept a student, even if that student barely escaped the bondage of the government mandated public education system. We know the marginal quality and the success of that system. The studies and statistics abound.
The problem with "Anyone can go to college†has lead to education as business or rather Big Education. I'm not even touching on the inappropriate activities of unions involved education or public education's rabid groping for money. I am saying higher education from the state university to the ivied halls. The access to money is out of hand and has been for decades especially when a four-year degree cost tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the fact that that four-year degree may take five years to earn.
Every year institutions increased their tuition rates, and this coincided with government increases in financial aid. Simple, isn't it? This has been going on for decades. Those days of working one's way through college end about the end of the Sixties, and now, education is big business.
But the jig is up. The economy is in ruins. The government is still spending though there is no money left, and a degree in general studies or history or education for that matter, just isn't worth the personal debt. The bubble will burst, and then numerous academics will join the ranks of the unemployed. How many of them well be suit to perform a productive job? Most people need plumbers.

The United States military is involved in Libya. Why? Well, we know that the White House has not answered that question. It could be that the White House really doesn't know. Bearing in mind how the White House, meaning the president, is handling foreign policy, incompetency is a reasonable possibly. Bowing, scrapping and apologizing for America for two solid years has accumulated drawbacks in the eyes of the American voter.
Another idea is that it's a weird, anti-American effort to waste money, military and political capital to remove a dictator by supporting an ‘opposition' no one, not even the president (since he hasn't state any reason for this military fiasco), knows anything about, except that Al-Qaeda is involved to some degree or other.
As a side note: a cruise missile, which the president authorized and gave the order to use, cost a million and a half each and in the first weeks over a hundred were used to no effect. This is definitely part of the ‘wasting money without a plan syndrome' suffered by the administration.
For a military venture or rather debacle, which was only going to last a few days, and then a few weeks and then won't end, maybe, until September, people get what they asked for, a president who's decisions have nothing to do with what is good for America.
Now, the economy, the administration is bad for the American economy and for the world economy. The president and his bag of leftwing, academic nuts, are sterile when it comes to thoughts and considerations regarding humanity, particularly American humanity.
To the left, human beings are not humanity but cogs in an economic-politic machine, which is, in reality, and the left doesn't even know it, a ‘gonkulator', the gonkulator, appearing in the TV series Hogan's Heroes , was a sophisticated device, which ‘wowed' the faux intellectuals but was really just a rabbit trap.
The left and its collection of Marxist derived ideas don't work. History has showed that. What history has also shown is the left wastes money—lots of it, destroying democratic institutions along the way, and ultimately ending up with gonkulator, a trap, or rather as they like to call it: utopia.

Learning of the death of the al-Quida leader brought jubilation and a relief, and healing too many still deeply affected by 9/11, but putting the elation aside for the moment, while not discounting the Obama Administration’s success, the fact of the matter is: Other than a moral booster, Osama bin Laden’s death may just end up being is meaningless in American politics and in the wider ‘War on Terrorism,’ which if we recall was not a popular phrase with the current administration. The president preferred to refer to the ongoing clash as the "enduring struggle against terrorism and extremism," or "ongoing struggle."
The operation authorized by President Obama makes concrete to everyone, especially those on the left, that the president sees the ‘War on Terrorism’ as real, and not a deception. The death of the al-Qaida leader brings to the front certain points which cannot be ignored by anyone, especially the Obama Administration:
Obama followed Bush policy, by keeping Gitmo open, imprisoning terrorists there, interrogating them, and then using that information, proving Bush was right. The Left is not a fan of Bush or his policies, and digesting the fact that President Obama has by his actions ‘agreed’ with the President Bush.
Next the realities of life in the

The death of Osama bin Laden, this elder proponent of radical Islamic terrorism, comes ten years after 9/11 that appalling act of barbarism.

The death of Osama bin Laden, this elder proponent of radical Islamic terrorism, comes ten years after 9/11 that appalling act of barbarism. In short, bin Laden, a shining example of Jihad, lived too long. He is still a symbol, a martyr for Jihad, and was a catalyst having grown into a symbol of radical Islam which has metastasized. Even in death he can’t be ignored.
The president must also consider the fact that President George H. W. Bush proved winning the Persian Gulf War 1990-91, by driving Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait, can't get you re-elected. The operation against Osama bin Laden is one of many to come. The fight will be long, and the president must understand that, and so must those who support him from the left.

Again, it is good that the al-Quida leader now rots in the ocean, being food for fish, but the death of this elder proponent of radical Islamic terrorism is of account being that he lived too long, or he live enough for the opposition—radical Islamic terrorists to use his infamous existence to metastasize.

The president has opposition all round him, in his party, outside his party, in his base, and he faces Donald Trump who has been pounding on him in the media—everyday, for weeks. The topic was the birth certificate fiasco—and the fiasco is owned entirely to the president. Waiting two years has turned into a bad idea being that he has now been forced to ‘present his papers.’ Trump forced his hand. Trump is now on the say playing field as the president and noting can change that now.
Calling Trump racist fell on his own deaf ears, to Trump’s advantage and credit. You don’t have to like or dislike him, but he is due credit. In the boxing ring of politics, the president has been knocked down. Yes, he got up, but he has too. He’s the president, but the match goes on.
What does this all mean, really? The main question will be: ‘Why wait two year?’ as I stated in the opening.
The President of the
Mr. President, please, grow up, should now be the obvious course before Trump succeeds in another ‘corrective’ birching.

When I think of the president, the Golden Age of Hollywood comes to mind when the studio system [insert MSM] groomed, guided and protected their fanciful factious creation through their public and private life.
Barak Obama is a media construction with an unknown past, while what is known is in question like where’s the birth certificate. What do I think about it? I’m in Donald Trump’s corner, that is, since the president and his staff say the birth certificate is not an issue, well, let’s see it.
Trump is not perfect. He’s made business and political decisions he can’t hide, so there’s no reason to lie about them. Will he run? No one knows. The implication is strong that he might, but his strength right now is his power to reach the public and say what he wants, and I do think he’s genuinely concerned about the welfare and future of the United States of American in a way the president can’t or won’t match.
The president has been shadow boxing, but another fighter has stepped into the ring. Obama, the media icon is now going against, Trump, the business icon. Trump wants to fight, and has been throwing punch after punch, Obama the Champ is being hit and hit, soon he’s going to try and fight back or be beat to the canvas.

That was a pretty short government shutdown, so no one even had a chance to sweat and some say, the Republicans won!
But let’s look at this from the other side, the side that wanted more—and specific items cut from the budget. Here is a list of from Dick Morris, liking him or not doesn’t change whats on the list:
This concession makes it clear that:
* Obamacare will not be defunded.
* The EPA will not be blocked from regulating carbon.
* The NLRB will not be stopped from forcing an end to secret ballots in union contests.
* Medicaid will not be block granted and turned over to the states.
* Welfare spending will not be cut nor work requirements imposed.
* The FCC will not be stopped from regulating talk radio.
In short, we have accomplished nothing by our hard work in 2010.
Taking a good look at this surrender, well, money is still being spent and spent and spent and both the Republicans and Democrats are going it. The future still looks like a financial black hole and the government shutdown that wasn’t.

Along with the Democrats spending the last two years running up the deficient while not passing a budget, again, what applies to the president applies to the Democrats; the government shutdown is their fault.
The Republicans? Well, in the last two years they haven’t had the authority to spend and spend and spend. Now, as they, or rather a portion of their number try to control and cut needless expenditures and programs like Obamacare which is an economic ruin waiting to happen, I can’t blame the Republicans for anything fiscal unless they give in or do nothing; then they are in trouble.
So, if the American voter is awake and paying attention: The government shutdown is a Republican win; again, if they choke, well, the

The fatal flaw of the Left is the belief in the ‘ever-full’ pot of money and quest for power. Local, state and Federal governments has spent and spent, bribed and bribed and now, the money is gone. All that is left is the debt and the addiction.
Oh, have I left the Right off the hook for money and power cycle? No. It’s now apparent to more people that the Left, the democrats and progressives are obsessed, more obsessed than the right is, and so obsessed that they refuse to recognize the fact that the money is gone, all gone, and creating more debt and budgeting on credit doesn’t work.
As a note, those republicans who don’t understand are being route to the sidings of the political train tracks.
But, again, the money is gone. Presently, the
The Left is an addicted peddler of illusion money, even when there is none left, is the answer to life’s problems. Of course, being atheistic materialists does lay for the foundation for the Left’s self-delusion.
Putting that aside, the fact remains that no matter how much money is spent, credit is used, and debt is incurred pursuing a fantasy life, reality still rears up, and the bills must be paid.
As time passes, the Left will have to pushed aside, back to the playpen, so adults can fix the financial mess, because the Left as with children, want things, they want money and power to sell a fantasy to others, a fantasy of a life without consequences, but the money gone. The bill is over due and the Left’s selfish desire to living on illusion only hurts others. Nothing is free. All good things require work to acquire, not subsidies, whether to unions, corporations, fraudulent public service organizations, or to the common person whose human value is diminished by the perpetration of illusion, a fraud, so the Left needs to pay the price of that betrayal.

The winter of 2010-2011 is steeped in a bone knowing cold and no amount of hysterical eco-babble can change that. The planet is facing a cooling period, which the Russian scientists have been talking about it for years.
I specifically mention the Russians because the eco-left in American used to give so much credit to them—granted at the time the Russian Federation was called the USSR, but these days it’s difficult to notice a serious difference in gove4rnmenal management styles.
For the sake of the left, the Russians have been report for years that there is no Global Warming, and have gone so far as to say, a New Ice age is on the climatological horizon.
Will the eco-left listen? No, because their plans for American and the environment never had anything to do with ‘saving’ anything. Keep in mind any eco-terrorism comes from the left and it always has a collective and redistributive fervor, which is Marxism, especially so, because ‘capitalism’ and ‘consumerism’ are part of the derogatory rhetoric.
The reality is there is no Global Warming manmade or otherwise. Considering the fact that the largest factor in warming the plant, the sun, is never mentioned, goes to show that the basic scientific method is an anathema to these eco-Marxists. Why an anathema? Facts don’t fit well with leftist/progressive hysteria mongering.
Anyone interested in facts, which means any progressive/liberal/leftist/Marxist reading this has already clicked out; the fact is Anthropomorphic (manmade) Global Warming is a hoax.

Does the Obama administration know what end results it wants? We don’t know. Three weeks into the demonstrations no clear message was voiced other than—‘they’ the protestors, want democracy, in a nation that never had a democracy.
And an aside here, do you remember how the left, and the Obama administration has not proven itself to be anything other that of the left, but the left has said, especially at the time when Bush was preparing Iraq for true democratic elections, that the there was doubt that the people of the middle East could handle such a thing as democracy. But as Egypt teetered on the edge of ‘something’ the call was strongest from the administration and MSM and those of a like sympathy, the thought the democracy may not be for Egyptians, those who never ‘had it,’ never for once moment came to mind. Interesting? Egyptians, yes! Iraqis, well, almost emphatically, no.

President Hosni Mubarak's plan to remain in office while delegating some authority to his vice president.
Israeli lawmaker Benjamin Ben-Eliezer — who spoke with the Egyptian president by phone on Thursday before his speech — described Mubarak as "different from what I heard on the news."
"He sounded very strong and defiant," Ben-Eliezer said. "He analyzed the situation properly and tried to predict the future of the
Looks like Mubarak is going to bid his time and analyze the situation, and also, sometime ago, decided to ignored the Obama Administration.
The American president is always in a rush to ‘get things done,’ and ‘make demands’ but he doesn’t understand that Mubarak has time on his side, and Obama has not international credibility.
I keep repeating President Obama’s nonparticipation in this Egyptian affair because the administration has no coherent policy, only a demanded that the wishes of the ‘protesters’ be supported. That’s not a policy. That’s 60s college campus rhetoric.

The march to repeal Obamacare must continue, especially if the Senate votes against repeal and more importantly, if the Senate votes for repeal and the president vetoes that repeal. The supposed health care law is a squalid piece of debt increasing, bureaucratic malfeasance. Anyone who doesn’t understand that has not been paying attention—on purposes, and that means the he is willfully precipitating his denial, but enough about progressives and liberals.

With this administration, turn about is not about ‘fair play.’ It’s always about escaping before or even after getting caught.
The WH has turned away on Death Panels, just as the Republicans take control of the House, and narrow the margin in the Senate.
First, takes go to Sarah Palin for coining the name at the right time, and Obamacare offered up the opportunity so, being astute, Palin launched a Twitter which branded the health bureaucracy behemoth. She isn’t liked by many, but then again, I don’t think she cares.
Now, I don’t care for government control of health care. History shows it doesn’t work. If it did work Medicaid and Medicare and the VA won’t be in debt. Price controls don’t work. The Federal law keeping insurance companies from offering insurance across states lines should be the one of the next incommoding laws to go.
But this is the beginning of fighting back socialist trash, which doesn’t work, because socialism/Marxism doesn’t work.
The desires of the majority of the American voters came out this past November 11th and the fools who lost were the Democrats, and those that are left and those new representatives and senators who are coming in better ‘read the signs of the times.’

The majority of Americans and that’s enough are not interested in the Democrat Party’s Progressive/Liberal/Leftist agenda. Those Americans who are probably vote ‘D’ out of habit, either family loyalty—the family’s always voted Democrat or it’s kind of like sports, someone if for their team even when the team is going badly—for years.
But I have a notion that the end is never for the Democrat monster which must die. When a political party no longer represents its constituency or the nation, which provides the political oxygen for it to live—and becomes such a menace as to be a burden, then I say, the party must die. Political euthanasia isn’t a bad idea.
