History, Assassians, Wars and America


      History in America has many unusual things in it if you read it carefully. My interest has always been in the assassinations of Presidents and Political Figures. Why were they killed and we already believe we know by who.

       Motives are the question that should be asked  in American History the assassins seem to have no  concrete motives to kill the President or Political figures they did kill. Ever wonder why Booth killed Lincoln or Oswald killed Kennedy, or  Sirhan Sirhan killed Bobby Kennedy, or Ray shot Martin Luther King Jr.? Or why in Ancient History the romans killed Caesar or Cleopatra died a sudden death? Politics is why, and the voices that are raised in opposition or to make change get killed off by the established is why. Jesus was killed to stop his preaching of rules and laws and commandments no one understood. Each of these leaders got killed in their prime when their voices were clear, loud and attracting attention and distracting from a major opponents words and thoughts.

        Independent thinkers are killed off when their ideas and thoughts and words do not go with the majorities  wishes or interfere with the majorities ways. History shows that once a majority is flowing in one direction and one person tries to change that direction they get removed. Whether it is in anger, revenge, or for a political purpose it happens. Sadly, it doesn’t need to if people just communicate freely and above-board. Peaceful solutions are the best and longest lasting ones. We need more of them, not more violence and killing.

      Talking about killings and political problems, Afghanistan comes to mind every time. Someone please explain why America of all the countries in the world has to clean up their country and get our soldiers, sailors and Marines killed! It’s a senseless battle for position by sects that aren’t smart enough to run their own sect never mind a country. It’s an endless battle we fight to help a country that hates us being there, and would rather see us gone for what reason?

       Killing goes back to the olden days of yore so to say and no matter what the evil ones and the good ones die. Because in the end the good sacrifice themselves to stop the bad and we end up losing peaceful great leaders. Why?

        Sacrifice has been around forever in mankind’s world, and it is not worth it unless the principles and thoughts and ideas put forward are worth saving for all. Would we sacrifice ourselves for our children yes, for our country yes. for love yes, but why must we fight wars for someone else who doesn’t even give two damns about us as a country and people? 

       The killing of American military personnel in lands like Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Yemen or Africa is sad and worthless in the process of humanity. One nation can not keep sacrificing for other nations that care not if we do or don’t. I say to President Obama, Congress and Politicians all over America, bring our troops home, bring our weapons home and tools of war too. Spend the same time and money and effort you all spend protecting and defending and fixing and policing other nations, on fixing our economy, our job markets, the trade agreements that are killing us and Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare,Health Care.the Postal Service, and what helps America. We are not the police force for the world anymore, we have our own troubles here at home, it is time America fixes itself and lets other nations do the same for themselves too.

America’s Needs and Choices 11/2012


      Across America the race is on for the White House in November of 2012. The Incumbant President Barrack Obama should be and is favored to beat his challenger Williard Mitt Romney the Republican. Hopefully if America has any common sense and intelligence left, they will choose the best of the two and while they are at it, back it with a Senate and house full of people in the same party. This stalemate and log-jam in Washington is killing any hope of bettering the economy and the United States.

      Personally speaking I will back whatever candidate can put a stop to borrowing from Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare and save these benefitial programs for the people in the future. The one that can find a way to reinstill funds and make these programs last will be the President in Hanuary 2013, of this I have no doubt.

       The candidate who can come out with a way to give tax breaks to manufacturers and companys that produce jobs and help raise our exports over, imports will win too.  Jobs and the Economy stupids you get it yet, like Bill Clinton was told it’s the economy.

          No more wars, no more fighting middle east battles or battles across the globe we can’t win, or can turn into morasses that weigh us downa nd eat up money and weapons and military personell, please. We don’t belong in Iraq, Afganistan, or any Middle East country fighting wars, or policing Nations that care not about us and will stab us in the back as soon as they can. Wake up in Washington, the bell shall toll for thos epoliticians who voted for wars, who voted for American involvements without help or for policing actions. Americans are tired and that includes the American Military too. They will go where the President says of course for he is their Commander in Chief, but stop please, these people men and women are human and can only take so much, the time to rest the troops and stop their battles is now. Too many suicides, too many PTSD cases, too many injuried or dead military personell who gave their health and lives for what, to police other nations to take down dictators in countries that will only regrow a new one. We need to stop now and save all the time, effort and money for inproving America’s Economy, America’s job market, housing market and our status in the world. Wake up Washington Please!

      The battle that is needed to be won, is hear at home now, not overseas in a war or policing zone in the middle east. We always support our Allies, but, in the end many of them turn on us and we end up with the short end of the stick for our efforts. The time now is to, stop overstretching our borders and flexing our muscles and to realize it is hurting us as a country to do so.

        Come November on Election Day, American’s need to find which man and his partner, will be able to find the ways to keep us out of wars, save those funds at home, increase jobs, improve the economy, educate our children and in the end, increase exports over imports once more and change the current Trade Agreement so they help America not the World anymore. We need a President who can stand up and say no more will America, send help easily, no more will America be babysitting and policing the world. We need an American President who can stand up and say, Yes I will save Social Security and Medicad and Medicare. Yes, we need a real Leader who can lead and isn’t afraid of stepping on toes to make America strong again and resilent. So Americans make a choice, whether Obama or Romney and which one you believe can solve America’s biggest problems without, letting the world kill us more.

 

Hard Truths for Americans!


 In Afghanistan a U.S. Soldier kills 7 people or more, A plane Captain on a Jet Blue Flight goes off about bombs,  and more, each day, more and more Americans suffer from mental illness, due to military life and the injuries they occur. There is no nice way to say this, but God and humanity can not create a perfect medication to control PTSD. Nor can any psychiatrist get anyone to talk with them wanting to, the secrets military people carry and even some carry from childhood, can erupt at anytime if triggered by events or situations. There is no stopping the punishment and pain that people put the human body and mind through to do what is right or to protect their homes and others too.

       In other cases there is no PTSD involved or mental illness or even physical illness, men killing children for no reason is wrong period too. We have more innocent human beings killed in the world that have done nothing wrong to anyone, just because we have meglomaniacs out there too. Syrians are being killed left and right by firepower from their own leadership and military, for what reasons we do not know. The U.N. goes in to negotiate a cease-fire and save civilians and no one listens. Sadly the Syrian Government run by Assad and his people don’t care what happens to their own people or they wouldn’t kill them.

       Across the world fights erupt, battles over small issues or stupid issues and the world looks to us the United States to solve their issues and help bring peace once more. We are not and I shall repeat this later again, we are not and can not be the Police Force of The World when we have economic and health and welfare issues of our own at home here Our jobs disappear daily because of past Trade Agreements and no one stops it, our unemployment lines are bigger than ever before, the factories that kept America going have disappeared. Things need fixed, now The Supreme Court jostles the Health Care Reform Law about saying the mandate is unconstitutional, why? People across America are counting on that Health Care Law to pay and help pay the medical bills to keep them alive. The Prescription costs are crazy alone for needed medications, never mind the hundreds of dollars it costs to see a Doctor, or the Thousands for an operation. Wake up Supreme Court America needs Health Care as a law, the Mandate part has to be included or, the law fails, you know it!

       The world needs help, but so do Americans, we can’t reach out and help the world when we are hurting almost as bad as they are. America is not the America I grew up in the 50s and 60s, or even the 1970s. Lets be realistic, when is the last time you saw a comic book for a nickel, a loaf of bread for .29 cents, a penny candy counter in a store, a movie that cost you a buck. When was the last time you went out and ate a decent meal for 5 bucks a head and enjoyed yourself? Think about what I am saying here folks, America may have come a long way in some social issues, but economically we have burned ourselves out.

       Gas Prices rise daily, you can see the signs change as you go by soon we shall pay five bucks a gallon or more to get somewhere. Why? Because we depend on others too much they are sucking us dry and we are killing ourselves. Electric Cars need building, so we can get off the gas usage and tell these nations with holding the oil where to go. We need to produce our own oil and power through wind,electric, and solar. We need to be inventive, innovative and smart, and find products that the world needs once  more and produce them here.

       In the end the world and the United States especially has suffered from bad trade agreements. shipping our jobs overseas, rising healthcare costs, and over extended military costs. We can’t continue to police the world, if we can’t police ourselves, and produce homes, food, healthcare and jobs for our own.

Syria is not our War!


      Syria and its problems and the solution it’s government is enforcing on its citizens is wrong!. Innocent people being bombed and shot upon by planes, tanks and soldiers is wrong period. But, so would America stepping in and stopping it be wrong, we are not the police force of the world or protectors of the world, nor do we have the money, manpower, or time to fight the Syrian Government half a world away from us!.

        John McCain thinks we should get involved by air strikes and bomb Assad out of office and out of this world. I disagree with the fine Senator from Arizona. We have tried this action in the past Senator McCain and all due respect to you for your service and time in government here in America, but, we are not the policemen of the world!. We had different circumstances in the past, but the same situations, in Korea, Vietnam and we lost thousands if not millions of Americans fighting a war and policing nations we had no damn business in. Afghanistan is now a quagmire in and of itself that America needs to get out of immediately.  So why step into a new mess in Syria and kill more Americans and make more enemies out of middle eastern folks? We don’t need it Senator McCain, get the United Nations to do it and the other MIddle Eastern Nations around Syria to shut Assad down, we can negotiate, and direct, we can not enter the war nor should we.

         We have our own war of a type to fight here in America and our own battlefields too. Our war zones is in jobs, manufacturing, trade agreements and putting Americans back to work. Our war zones should be the economy and stopping homelessness, hunger and health problems for our own people not another nations. Sadly, because Americans in Government elected by the people, believe we are the big brother of the world and the super power, we have to help end these conflicts and disasters, we don’t, nor should we!. We don’t have the resources anymore Senator McCain to spend limitless dollars on another countries problems and especially one that doesn’t care two cents about us.

       In the past American Presidents have made some smart choices and stayed out of wars we do not belong in and it has paid off for America.In this case, this President is correct, get us out of Iraq, out of Afghanistan and keep us out of Syria, no ground troops or weapons allowed, Americans can’t afford it and rebuild our economy and status in the world at the same time!.
