12 Things Presidential Candidates need to do!


The dog days of summer are coming and the heat will rise outside and the campaign for the Presidency will too. There will be mud-slinging and more before it is over come November 2012. The summer will bring debates on policy,economics.and healthcare. It will bring speeches on war, the military and more, but will the two candidates face the real issues as the American People see them, or run from them?

       The real issues for the 2012 Election will be the ones to watch for folks. Can either man come up with a good plan to save the Economy, jobs, HealthCare and Medicaid and Medicare as well as save Social Security? Can either one promise to save Veteran’s Benefits and take care of our veterans the way they should be cared for? Will either man be able to find a way to save the Postal Service that so many elderly and disabled depend on for medications and more? What will happen to America in the next four years whether it is under President Obama or Romney? Will America ever regain its credit rating, will America ever level the trade agreements and stop policing and fighting wars for others and take care of its own? These questions need to be put to the candidates and answered not bullshit questions so they can dodge the real issues.

       You show me one of the two who will save Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid, stop policing other countries, and creat jobs and level the trade agreements maybe I will vote for them! You show me one candidate who is brave enough to admit they need to help the Postal Service, Trade, the economy and stop all wars and I may think about voting for them. You want the votes of middle america, lower america and the minorities then you need to address immigration, homeland security, and fixing the programs that help americans! Not run from them or avoid them, that isn’t the way to go!

       As the temperatures rise across America, and the summer begins,  we the American People must make a choice of which candidate to choose come November 2012 and I will only vote for the one I firmly believe can address the issues at stake as follows:

       1) The Economy and improving it by creating jobs, giving tax breaks to companies that need them.

       2) Who will address the trade markets and our trade agreements with China and others who now have the advantage over us and level it!

        3) Who will stop borrowing from Social Security and save it for the future.

         4) Who will preserve and protect Medicaid, Medicare, Healthcare and repair the Postal Service.

         5) Who will keep us out of  wars and bring out troops home for all time, and not get us involved again.

         6) Who will save the benefits and plans of the New Deal and make America a better country to live in.

           7) No new taxes period they aren’t needed, lets lower the pay/ salaries of Congress, both Houses, they don’t work they shouldn’t be paid!

           8) Bring back manufacturing, bring back being creative, innovative and inventing and let’s make America a forerunner for all.

          9) You want to be President again or anew, then you must face these issues, economy, jobs, manufacturing, trade agreements, refunding of social security, veteran’s benefits, healthcare,Medicaid, medicare and more. You can’t run and hide without addressing them each.

         10) Face the biggest issue of all for America, create jobs, create manufacturing, create peace and keep healthcare. Don’t destroy it improve it. We need help for the middle class, lower class, not more tax breaks for the rich and upper class. Lets level the playing field and do it correctly.

          11) There must be a way to make jobs for all, not just for some, to get the economy going give companies tax breaks in their home towns or cities across the nation. Lets do something for America and Americans instead of for the politicians and the rich.

          12) Final thing, if you want to be President and lead, then stand the hell up and lead, don’t cower, don’t bend, don’t be a wuss. But don’t police other nations with our troops, bring them home, no more wars!

Time to Make Decisions is Here!


     Welcome to a world filled with more pain and suffering then ever before, just not all of it is  war!

        Yes across the globe we call Earth and home, people are suffering from wars, but more are suffering from slavery, forced prostitution,homelessness and illness than ever before, in recent history. Sad isn’t it when people as a species creates cures, money and homes, yet people still suffer, or we already know things are not right and we don’t work to right them?

       I love this world and the country I live in America, but then I look across it today and see the same sufferings and pain  world-wide happening here in greater numbers than ever before in my 56-year-old life. People without jobs begging for pennies and breaks, asking to work for food, homeless people sleeping in card board boxes on the streets and the ill and injured not cared for because they can’t afford health care. Sad isn’t it folks, but if you think America is sad in these ways, the rest of the world suffers far worse. They don’t have the good samaritans we do, or the capabilities we do, do they?

         I tire of seeing pain, my mind wanders back in time and i wonder what happened to the America I grew up in. The one where a stock market soared and people made money, and parents had jobs to feed and home and clothe the children they had. What happened to those days?  What went wrong for the countrys economy and it’s job markets and  Congress and Government?  Back in the 1960s when I was a child a neighbor would come out and help a child hurt or in pain, or help find one lost. Now they all ignore the pain and suffering of others and run the other way, why? Is America heartless and uncaring, are we scared of helping one another, is our social networks in person being changed so badly we don’t talk to neighbors anymore? What the hell happened to the America of the 50s, 60s and 70s even?

        Well looking back I can tell you some changes occurred through media markets and on television and radio. Even the foul language barrier of television history has dropped, so vulgarity is now on television for all to see and hear. Americans are we extremest? Do we go from no, no, no, to yes, yes, yes that easy? Why? Standards need resetting in American culture, american entertainment and in  american lives!. Across this country people run from one another due to skin color,race, beliefs and more why? Is this not America the land of the free and home of the brave anymore? Do we not still have freedom of speech, freedom of action and reaction and equality? If not we need all of it to stay a great nation and the best country on the planet.  We can not rest on past laurels or past accomplishments either, we must forge together as a perfect union and country to maintain and survive in the world. A Divided country, divided over race, religion, ethics, morals or status will destroy our country and way of life, we need to be united and on the same path. Anything less will be useless, worthless and ineffective, to us as a country, as a nation and as human beings!

       The time is coming soon and fast, when Americans must make critical choices in which way our country should go next. Elections come by once more in November 2012, and decisions that will affect out culture, our country, our lives and health care and more are due to be made, lets not make the wrong ones folks! Vote to become energy efficient and less oil needy, vote to save the Postal Service, Vote for Extended Health Care, Medicaid, Medicare and Veteran’s Benefits. Vote to have Trade Agreements changed so we export more than we import once more!. Vote to Create jobs in the country we love and put all who want to work back to work. Lets force the politicians in Washington, DC. to work together, or get them out of office for good. Teach them to be bi-partisan or send them home. You can’t have a President and Commander-in-Chief of one party and majority of another party in Congress and not get blockades and stalemates and more. So what ever we do, women and gentlemen, we need to unite a President with a Congress of his own party and get this country off its ass again and moving forward! The time for the right decisions is now, not later!

 

What happened to the America we intended it to be?


      I tire of ranting and raving over stupid things in America, for no matter what you do or where you live in America there will alway be stupid things to see and people who don’t get it.

       Yet I see it everyday, everywhere I go, people acting like they know it all, or are in charge, or want to be in charge yet aren’t. Silly isn’t it, they all think they are the best of the world, because we are Americans, the truth be known we are not anymore. We have allowed other countries to surpass us in education, and that has led to our downfall. They surpassed our economy, they beat us at trade agreements, and in the end they make us look silly at times. The Chinese are now leading us economically, the Japanese beat us in trade agreements and countries like Afghanistan have us getting our military people killed by them, for what, so we can try to build a stronghold in the Middle East, pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee!

        We must as Americans and as a country once more Unite and Stand together and change our course back to what made us great. We need Trade Agreements that let us be the exporters once more and import less. We need to improve our education and educate out children and adults better, no one can do math it seems or read or write anymore. Take away the Video Games and computers from your children, teach them to work for what they want. Don’t spoil them anymore, they need to know discipline, they need to learn self-control and manners. The kids in this new century are not the kids we were growing up.

      Sadly they have been given too many things they don’t need, children don’t need computers unless it is for school. Children should be outside playing ball, riding bikes, exploring woods and the world, not sitting inside staring at big screen television, playing X-Box, PlayStation 3 and Nintendo WII games, and not moving, they grow fat and dumb that way folks. When they become adult they can tell you all about how to win a video game or what new ones are great to buy and play, but they know not what a vegetable is or what healthy eating may be. They know not fruits, and veggies and good food, they only know Twinkies, and chips and sodas. Sad isn’t it, ask a kid one day and you will see.

         We also need to help the poor and middle class, they need to be helped for the America we knew in the 50s and 60s and even 70s, does not exist anymore. The factories are less, the jobs are less, there is no big money except for a few. Average Americans struggle to maintain their homes, their jobs, their cars and to eat and drink. We hide it in newscasts and on Television and we don’t tell it on radio programs either, or in the papers but it is here. The homeless live in boxes on back streets, the hungry beg for food on the street corners with signs, yet no one changes a thing and helps anyone. Sad isn’t it folks? What happened to the America we intended it to be, what happened to the real land of the free? What happened to the country we loved both you and me?

 

Stand up this Fall


As many Americans go broke lose their homes, jobs, and more, the rich keep getting richer and the poor, poorer. Sad isn’t it, that no matter what, we can seem to even the playing field in America, especially on the money one.  While people struggle daily to survive others have so much they can blow millions at a clip, on elections and other things and not know the difference.

       Romney, Obama, Politicians on the top of the heap ruling countries and worlds of attention, rich now because of the luck they had with getting educated and being pushed into politics.

      Warren Buffet, Donald Trump, and Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg now all rich because of skills and ideas and yes, not sharing enough. Although I will give it to Gates and his wife for helping across the globe, so I shouldn’t really include him here. But you can get the idea I am getting at, how many who have the bucks, fame and resources actually reach out and help Americans not other countries. very few indeed.

         Here is a little idea for the rich in America to consider, you didn’t get rich on your own, people helped form the economy and the country you are rich in. Give something back to the people who’s shoulders you stood upon to get to the top. The workers, the citizens who make america great the real great ones, the blue-collar workers. The ones that staff the, stores,offices and factories. The ones who gave their sweat and blood and time to keep America free, the veterans and disabled elders. The country as a whole needs help to climb out of this economic hole, built by former President Bush. It took Bush eight years to make the pit we are in and you want President Obama to get us out in four, your all sick to think anyone can do that.

       Then on top of demanding President Obama dig us out in four years, you give him a Congress loaded with the opposing parties people, and ask him to work with them and they refuse. If you want to know why the economy hasn’t come back look at a Republican filled Senate and House. While America hurts and struggles to save itself in the world economy and our debts grow deeper, they stalemate and block anything going thru that would help. This is a check and balance system in American Government and I agree with it to a point, but there is a time when bipartisan action must be accomplished and things must be done no matter whose name is on it.

        You want to cut something to help Americans out, cut the salaries of the Senators and Representatives who did the log jamming in Washington, cut off all the wars we fight for reasons not our own, cut the supplying of trade agreements that help other countries and turn it around to help us. My parents once said it loud and clear for all to hear and our Government and elected officials now need to hear it too. Before you can reach out and help, protect and defend anyone else or anything else, take care of yourself and your own! It is time America stop policing the world, allowing other countries to shit on us in trade agreements and take care of our own here at home. Lets get Congress to help our homeless, our downtrodden, our hungry and poor and to stop beating on the middle class and help at home. Stand up this Fall, Vote out the blockade forces in Congress, give whomever you elect and I believe in Obama a Congress to back them and let’s get this country on its feet once more!.

America Are you Abandoning ?


      America, America, God shed it’s light on thee, and Crown thy good with brotherhood, from sea to shinning sea! I used to sing this song each day while i served my country for sixteen years in three different branches of service. I did the Army first which I wa stoo young and immature to be in at the time and , then went back to the Army National Guard and then finally the US Navy. Sixteen years I gave on the belief that America was and is the greatest country in the world to live in and call my own. I thought of family and friends as I served in ships across the world steaming from port to port and doing missions asigned to us. I love America and I gave my spine up for it and for my children and wife at the time, yes as I humped my ass off and did my jobs I did precisely that, I thought of how American Families are safe because of the military and what I was doing.

       Now a days I am a Disabled Veteran who takes pills daily for blood pressure problems, to prevent strokes an dheart attacks of which I have had two. I take pain pills for my spinal injuries and pills for depression due to PTSD, and I lay down when my spine won’t let me stand up. I do less each day and I depend on The Veteran’s Hospital to take care of me here at home, and through my disability payments I get and social security disability I survive. I don’t have medical insurance i can’t afford it. I am not rich or even upper middle class I am regular low income folks. I struggle to provide for myself and my family, and those i love, but thats life when you don’t work, or because you can’t.

        I can’t go out an dbuy new computers, or I pads or Tablets or video games, I have to get used when I can find the money for them. My clothes are older now and my tee shirts ripped and torn, my sneakers give out and i go back to old ones for some to wear. These are now the ways Americans in their fifties, sixties, and sevenities have to think. You can’t go out to eat, or to a movie unless you planned for it ahead of time, life in the USA is not the same way it was growing up.

        America, America, God forsaked us you see, for he left you and met jobless, hungry and homeless you see, America, America, why did you forsake me, I served you well and went through hell and yet you abandoned me. Across America Veterans, and average everyday people who need disability, social security, medicaid, and medicare, cry out for help and Congress wants to cut these benefits, why so you can kill off the generation that produce and protected the country we live in. STop and thionk please, and lets see if we can get America, America, back to God’s good graces, and help our disabled, veterans, and elderly survive longer and live happier.

Vote Democratic Across The Board!


      Americans need to unite and improve our own country and stop helping the world, we can’t afford it anymore. We lend hands to every country in the world we can that needs it, but when we hurt no one comes running with help or a hand-out, or for that matter a hand up!

       We race across the globe with our military- ,helping  Afganistan, keeping Iran under control, beating up on Iraq for having Saddam Huessin and taking him out, why?  The only country in the Middle East that would consider America a friend and help us at all is the Jewish State. The bottom line is not even England will do it anymore I believe or Canada to our north or Mexico to our south, not unless our continent is invaded or attacked straight up. Sad isn’t it?

       The strength we once had as a military might still exists, but the economic- might is gone, shot down by the failure of our politicians to control it all. The fight between the two parties is crazy and stupid period, we are destroying what we had and should have for the future by it all. A divided President and Congress is a formula for a dying economy, a dying job market, a lackluster trade balance and no forward motion period. Deadlocks are deadlocks folks, and we have it in our government due to our own stupidity.

       Only one side can run the country at a time, and if you want anything done, or saved from disappearing now is the time to realize this. If you want Social Security saved, Medicare and Medicaid saved, The Postal Service saved and maintained and Health Care kept in placed and improved now is the time to speak up at the polls in November.

        If you want job growth, manufacturing to grow, trade balance where we lead the way once more speak up now! If you want gasoline prices coming down, oil prices to lower and your money to last longer, then we need a leader in Washington, who has a congress on his side to do good things, not stop it all.

        Someone once asked me a question about political parties in America, meaning both Democrats and Republicans. The question was this, what is the difference between the two parties? One person replied one is Liberal and one is Conservative, I said nope, The second said one is pro-life the other isn’t again I said no. Finally they looked at me and asked one more time, What the hell is the difference between the two parties? I replied as follows, The Democrats will spend every cent the government has and finally stop, the Republicans will spend every cent we have but, borrow to keep spending more, putting us deeper in debt!

       Before you vote in November and decide which man and party should run America and it’s Government you need to stop and think! The Republicans had 8 years under George W. Bush to run this land and country, and dug us a hole so big in the budget department we can’t see anything except red. President Obama has tried for his first term in office to dig us out, but you don’t clear up 8 years of  overspending and  red books in four do you? It takes at least the 8 more years to do so and dig us all back out. So when you vote, stop and think which party was in office and allowed the 9/11 attacks to hit us, which party took us from the black to the red in budget books? Which party entered us into wars we didn’t want or need? Then stop and think which party is pulling us out and trying  to balance the budget again and get us going forward!  The Democrats and President Obama need four more years to correct the eight years of mistakes by the Republicans. We need a new beginning and a new way to go, not go back to what sunk us for eight years before. Vote Democrat, Reelect President Obama and give him a supportive cast in the Senate and The House and lets move America back to the forefront on all issues. If President William Jefferaon Clinton left Office with a surplus in the budget big time, and Presient Bush left with the biggest deficiet in recent history, then which party do you think will work to stop the bleeding and balance things? Think Democratic, think Reelect President Obama and lets give him a supporting cast in the Senate and House to get done what is needed.

 

2012 Election, Facts,/Needs/Ideas


     In what I have called the most boring Election so far, 2012’s is not moving any faster and neither candidate is really making headway against the other. If this keeps up, we may just choose a President and be done with it all in quiet fashion.

       You can run around pointing fingers at one another as these two men do, and telling tales about each other or you can begin to talk about the real issues Americans face! Let’s Get it on is what I say, lets see who has the solutions and ideas to move the country forward.

       I want to hear both candidates, incumbant and challenger, talk about 1) The Economy, 2) Creating Jobs,3) How to save Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare 4) Evening the trade agreements and making America have more exports than imports. 5) How to get us out of wars and keep us out period, we are not the world’s police force.6) Getting our money back from the companies and banks we bailed out. 7) Repairing the Blue Collar Job Market is key and vital to America’s economy, we need to get more factories going again.

          These are key issues that need discussed, extend unemployment benefits, save the Postal Service, keep it alive, while your at it too. Make a decision not to get involved in anyone elses wars anymore. We can’t fix Afghanistan, but we do kill off our service members trying don’t we, stop it now, pull the hell out. We had no business in Iraq, Iran is bullshiting us and we fall for it and get upset, isolate them and let them beg for mercy in the end, and their threat will go poof.  Homeland Protection is vital also, we all agree, we must keep America safe to stay free. Lets do it and do it right is all.

       In the end the 2012 Election this November, will determine 1) Who shall lead America away from these bad items and towards the good. 2) Who shall stop our decline in the world economy and put measures in place to prevent us from being dragged down too. 3) Who can straighten out and renegotiate all the trade agreements that are affects our imports being greater than our exports and turn it around. 4) Jobs are critical as is manufacturing, lets give them tax breaks and help to get going again in America and build more. 

       In the end the man who can solve all the above problems with ideas that work will win the election. I want both candidates to discuss these issues not who’s dog is on the roof of a car, or what they did in High School. Create jobs, help the manufacturing market grow, encourage, encourage this period. Save the Postal Service, leave the Veterans benefits alone, leave Social Security alone and find a way to continue to fund it, keep Health Care Reform and correct it, not destroy it.. Don’t take benefits from the elderly and poor to pay the rich, keep the programs in place damn it. 

      So many things a President can do  and be doing to improve the country has stopped being done, because the American people made a mistake in 2008. We picked the right President, but gave congress to his opposition, causing the log jams we now have in Washington. Sadly we American citizens are just as responsible for this mess as the politicians. If we want it cleaned up and the country moving forward and improving we need to stop the log jam and elect a President and Congress of one party and make them work to save all needing saving or fire them and get new ones. My opinion is now said and written I hope others agree!

 

Marriage Rights and Politics


      Among many things in America, that is growing in acceptance in society as a whole is gay marriage. I believe much like President Obama that all couples should be able to get married regardless of sexual orientation.  Why shouldn’t two people who love one another get married and have the same rights and laws and benefits as any heterosexual couple? They should and to deny them those rights and benefits is bullshit. Many believe that common law marriage is the way to go or anything but marriage, for marriage is defined they say by definition as being between a man and woman. This is crap too, for marriage is between two people who love one another regardless of gay or straight sexual preferences. It’s not the sex of the person that counts, it’s the love between the two that does and lasts. Personally I am straight and married to a great woman, but as my daughter would say, she is gay and married to a good woman too, and I say as long as love exists and they are happy they deserve the same rights and benefits as any married couple, period.

       I have always believed and still do to this day, that gays and lesbians are good people, and deserve to be recognized as the couples and lovers and families they are. To deny such rights and benefits is unconstitutional in my opinion. We all know it says all men are created equal, it should say all men and women are created equal too. But no one is perfect and that includes our Founding Fathers who wrote it all. Times have changed and so has the world and the country we live in, it is time women are given total equality and gay and lesbian couples too.

        As I told someone the other day and I shall say it again here, men do not control or rule the world, women allow us to think we do, but we don’t. The fact is any man who wants to live a good normal life and be something will listen and communicate with the women in their lives to get where they want to go, period. Behind every great man is indeed a great woman, who taught him how to be the man he is.

        Women were given the right to vote because they earned it, all races vote, all humans in America vote who are not felons of course if they register. Talking about voting the Presidential Election Cycle is now fully underway and there is no doubt who the candidates are now. I say to my fellow citizens of the United States, it is time to pick a President soon and listen to the debates and words of these two men, carefully, for only one can lead us out of the economic mess we are in, not two. We must pick the right one and make the country move forward, not backwards or stay stagnant.

        One last piece of advice for Americans and the Politicians who are running now for office this fall. If you fail to recognize that the election this fall, will be determined by the baby boom generation of the 1950s and 1960s who are now fully grown and in their 50s and 60s, then you deserve to lose. The men and women who were born in those decades will now decide the 2012 Elections, and if you take away the benefits we earned by working for them over our lifetimes, like Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security or Disability payments to Vets or anyone else, you will more than likely be seeing yourself non-Presidental for a long, long time. It is time that Independents show up at the polls come fall and the baby boomer generations of the 50s and 60s  too. Lets show up and show America we did learn from our parents and vote carefully and smartly and make America great once more.

 

Catholics/ Molestors, Hypocrisy!


Every now and then, there is not much to say about politics, except it exists and a race is on. Such is the case currently in the run for the White House this year.

     So with that said there are other things in the world to consider that politicians do not consider. For Instant lets discuss the Church, of course there are different denominations, so when I refer to church I am talking Catholic. The Catholic Religion and it’s churches and Priests and of course it’s Pope.

       The real thing to discuss is the hypocrisy that the church lives in daily with its Preists and Nuns and rules. It’s really something when you come to think, it took them decades alone to translate Mass from Latin to English. Then they tell  must attend their building every Sunday and on Religious Holidays to be a good parishioner, plus they pass a basket for money, crazy huh. Stop and look for yourself, Vatican City is rich, The Pope is carted around in fancy garbs and head dresses and driven in specially made carriages. The Vatican needs our money like we need to be broke.

       The hypocrisy of the Catholic church goes much deeper, when you stop to think how many of their priests are arrested for sexual molestation of children. Each day a priest somewhere is arrested or accused of such charges and no one stops them. The church when they find out hides them, and moves them to a new one, why? These priest need defrocked and disowned not forgiven and moved to a new location. And why won’t the church, allow women to become priests? I will never understand that one, besides women are much better at celibacy then men are. The Church is nothing more than an organization collecting money for preaching the bible, and building itself huger each day, on the pennies and nickles and dimes of its attendees.

      The hypocrisy of the Roman Catholic Church is known now throughout the world yet people blindly follow it because they only know the faith they were taught and given. Sadly, the church acts against abortions, it acts against things people need and have to have, In the end the church enforces its rules upon the attendees and if you don’t do it their way, it’s the highway so to say. They excommunicate you for not attending, or disagreeing with their ways and rules, sadly it is true. Why?

       The biggest sin I have ever seen in the Catholic Church is the fact their priests, molest some children and get away with it. The second is how they have grown adults who molest children in their churches that take communion every Sunday, and at home they are molesting their own children, but forgiven by the church for doing it each week.  This goes deeper than the church and it’s ways it is protecting sick human beings who do this stuff behind their mates back and get away with it, because they scare their kids into not saying a word. Or as I have seen myself and lived through I can show the damage of such a case and tell you it not only affects the man or woman doing the molestation, it affects the children it was done to in their adulthood, ruining them, and then gets passed down to their children and affects their marriages too. To stop it you have to get the molester out of the church and turn he or she in to the law. Yet, the molested won’t do it, because they will still love the parent who did it to them. Sad little circle isn’t it, I know of a case like this now, where a man walks free after molesting his children for their childhood to teen years and not a one of the four of them who had it done to them will say a word to officials. Fear is what this man used and he instilled it in his children so much, it ruined their lives too and affected their children. Sad isn’t it that the Church allows this to carry on and protects their priests and these molesters who come to their church every week, as good catholics.

       

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.
