Israel overreacting?

As I watch the news about Israel and Lebanon I wonder who is really to blame for the conflict. We all know that Iran is supporting terrorism against Israel, and that Syria and Iran are allied in this effort. But is Israel really overreacting, or is there something more to this? I would speculate that Israel recognizes America's weakened position, and feeling the effects of our poor ability to maintain an effective State Department, they are going out and acting on their own. We haven't seen this kind of action by Israel since the Six Days War.

I am not trying to knock Condi Rice, I know she is capable and is trying to change the State Department - it’s a worthy task but can’t be done by only the Secretary of State. The problem is that we have a complete idiot for president. He has no creativity, or foresight. Yet it’s not just his fault, previous presidents have been inept at evaluating government bureaucracy and streamlining it to perform like a well oiled machine. The most obvious example of this failure by our presidents is the creation of the Department of Homeland Security. It seems that every time a president doesn’t understand the bureaucracy he creates another arm of it that makes sense to him. I have a suspicion that the National Security Agency was created to do the job a president wanted, but now we live with it, and a host of other intelligence agencies, all not cooperating and sharing information so that we have events like September 11^th.

Poor Israel is caught in our own nation’s demise. With us, so too goes the Jewish State. I don’t blame them for bombing the hell out of those terrorist groups. Do you think for one second that if the Ku Klux Klan was as well armed as Hezbollah and occupying the southern states along the Mexican border that Mexico would not one day attack American cities in the southwest in order to protect themselves from the racists to their north? Israel does have a right to defend itself, yes, but President Bush does not have the right to use that statement as a crutch for his failure to do something with our foreign policy bureaucracy. Just because you have the oil and defense industries in your pockets does not mean that you can blindly ignore the international community and destroy the career of one of America’s celebrated commanders. Colin Powell was sacrificed on the alter of presidential ego, but at the same time, we are now beginning to see that Bush has been sending our diplomatic abilities and tradition to the slaughter houses ever since he got into office. Idiots like him believe that America’s military and economic strength are unchallengeable, but yet look what happened. You ignore our diplomatic strength, our tradition of being rational people who think first and shoot later, and the whole world goes kaput and now our military and economic strength are nothing to speak of. Iran and North Korea know it and are running all over us like a tennis court.

After I run for Congress I am going to run for President as soon as I turn 35 years old – if we still have a United States by then!

I Need to Run for Congress

My government has failed me! I am governed by ignorant, corrupt, and uncreative morons. We have a State Department and intelligence community that can’t speak the languages of the world. We can’t maintain relations with countries to prevent problems like the current Middle East crisis between Israel and Lebanon-Syria-Iran. Iran and North Korea are playing the United States like a ping pong game. The most the U.S. can deliver are words. Our national borders are broken, millions of illegal aliens are abusing the social services granted to American citizens, and billions of dollars leave the country every year for Mexico. America is Mexico’s #1 source of revenue – out performing their oil market. Not to mention we have untold numbers of sleeper agents in the U.S. and all I need to know that is common sense. What else to you expect from 20 plus years of no border security and ineffectual customs, border, and FBI agents? What is the root cause of this crippling position? Why are we under attack from all directions, including Chinese espionage and a national debt now almost 9 trillion dollars? I know it like a nursery rhyme, except this one is dark and R-rated. Corruption. The pursuit of power by the wealthy, God bless their souls to save them from eternal damnation. Their ambition makes them blind to the real needs of Americans. They have failed to be responsible governors of this country and it is time for them all to go! I fear that we may not be around for another 20 years unless something happens in this nation and the people wake up, stop playing their stupid game of party politics and start electing average Americans to represent us. We need economists and certified public accountants to be elected to turn our fiscal troubles around. We need college professors and high school teachers to get elected to turn our public schools around. We need small business owners to get elected to create an atmosphere for competition and growth. Above all we need people who will be honest and use common sense and go after the facts and pursue solutions and damn the consequences to their precious political career.

I am dead serious about running for Congress. If you are serious about getting people elected who have what it takes to run a country, I need your help. The system is exclusive, and I am not one to back down to hat kind of challenge. I’ll wage war against it with the kind of tactics I know will work, the kind no one has ever thought to use before… a direct appeal to the population, though distracted by the process, know there has to be something better. I know why Congress has had low approval ratings for over a decade, it’s because people are sick and tired of getting idiots who they wouldn’t trust in a room alone with their checkbook. Aren’t you sick of it? Is America finally tired of this corruption yet? Are you ready to save the country before it bleeds to death? Then let’s find some people to run for congress and take back our country damn it!
