Washington, D.C.

Today the world breathed a huge sigh of relief as Hu Jintao and U.S. President Barack Obama came together, sat down after standing and reach across the great global divide to agree in principle to meet again and discuss the possibility of both China and the U.S. combating global warming through their mutual efforts.

"We can eliminate global climate change if we dedicate the United States' financial resources to this problem," the first new black president of the United States, ever, was allegedly overheard to remark.
Chinese president Hu Jintao may have concurred with president Obama by saying that U.S. money and curtailment of U.S. industry, "will go a long way to alleviate the suffering of third world dictatorships throughout the world."
Both world leaders (one of whom is the first black president of the United States) turned up their noses at the idea they could do something about India's farting cow problem. Both leaders believed this to be a problem way above their collective paygrades, with Obama adding he was a Muslim and these were Hindu cows.
In a side-bar story, Lord Monckton, delivered a speech in St. Paul, Minnesota in which he "utterly destroys the so called science behind Global Warming." http://www.globalclimatescam.com/?p=572

Disappearing America
"A republic, by which I mean a government in which the scheme of representation takes place, opens a different prospect and promises the cure for which we are seeking." -- James Madison, letter to William Hunter, 1790 (as quoted in today's Patriot Post website)
The citizenry of this country (a country made up by a whole bunch of 'you's and 'I's) have allowed themselves to slip further and further from the ideals expressed in the above sentiment by James Madison. Today our elected officials are less concerned with representing our interests than they are with securing another term in the office to which they were elected.
Many friends have told me that our current political system is a good political system. But I disagree.
Where are the moral values which were inherent in the founding principles of our Constitution?
Where are the guarantees to "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness" promised by our Declaration of Independence?
What is it that compels our representatives to vote for legislation that is counter-productive to the commonweal?
Our country wallows in the corpulent mire created by our own successes. We are surrendering our best technology to others in order that they can produce the same goods and sell them back to us at a discounted price. But with the purchase we too late realize the inferior quality of the goods, shrug it off, discard the item, and buy another. Ah, the luxury of a disposable society.
Einstein once said that it was luncacy to continue employing the same methodology and expect a different result. Well it is time we applied Einstein's logic to our own politcal situation and throw thosee bums out of Washington DC! And I mean a clean sweep of congress in 2010!
It may sound extreme, but even the good legislators will need to go if we are to reclaim the country for our children. An oncologist will tell you that you will risk a cancer's return if you only remove the damaged portion of the tissue. Some of the surrounding good tissue must be removed to ensure that you have removed all the cancer.
Our representatives and our president do us no favors with their current legislative activities, and I say enough is enough! We brought you into this town, and by God we can kick you out of this town!
Act locally in this election cycle, and your actions will have national consequences!

The True Ugly American
Fletcher Kneible in his book on Sarkan (a thinly veiled Vietnam), wrote a description of the Ugly American. The book was immensly popular in the late 1950s, but achieved near stellar prominence in the 1960s with America's involvement in South Vietnam. The book was viewed as a catharsis for liberal America, and at the same time a bludgeon with which to beat conservatives. The problem was, Mr. Kneible did not subscribe to the ideology of the left wing nut cases then active in the United States.
Today, we see the left once again trying to destroy the United States by using tactics such as this:
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/04/sports/04usoc.html?_r=1
But Americans, whom I am told, at least for the moment make up most of America these days, are not racist! 66 million of them elected the first black president of the United States (unless Bill Clinton claims that title). It is comments like those from Mr. Silva that are racist and, frankly, unimaginative.

Truth We Can Believe In - Not!
All week long the administration has been looking forward to the job-loss numbers, which were posted early this morning. It was only a slight rise, so the spin will go, from 9.7% in August to 9.8% in September.
UNEMPLOYMENT RATE RISES TO 9.8 PERCENT IN SEPTEMBER AS EMPLOYERS CUT 263,000 JOBS
As the White House puffs out its chest and gives us a couple of harumphs for emphasis, the American worker/citizen (is it really a necessary distinction?) will be told that the job loss is a sign that the ecomomic sub-strata is realigning to produce more jobs in the green energy sector, or some other shiboleth they dream up. We will be served the typical Obama pabulum that "good times" are just around the corner. After all, its not 500,000 jobs as it was in May. We've "turned the corner" as it were, veritably staunched the flow of our life force from the body politic. Huzzah!
Oh, thank you, President Obama! I am so relieved. And before this report I thought our country was going to hell in a hand basket. And as Obama trots off to Denmark to give away more American sovereignty to buy, er bring, the Olympics to Chicago, an Afghan woman with a purple stain on her index finger is pointing to the freedom won for her by American lives.
Bull Shit! mr. president! Your stimulus package has not had the positive uptick in the economy precisely because it is government money. Business looks further down the road, further than your feeble Harvard/Yale educated mind can see, to the day when U.S. currency won't even be able to buy the paper it is printed on. When it will take wheel-barrow loads of greenbacks just to buy a loaf of bread. And industry is taking, not giving, mr. president, like the heroin addicted standing in line for free methodone. Taking as much money out of circulation and puting it aside against the day when your socialist agenda will go the way of the dodo bird.
