MEXICO IN A DRUG WAR FREE FALL

Drug wars in Mexico are running rampant along the U.S. border. Workers in the U.S. Consulate in Juarez have been killed. Students are disappearing and the U.S. government is issuing warnings to Americans planning to visit there. The State Department noted that some of the recent clashes resembled small-scale warfare, with drug cartels using automatic weapons and grenades.

COMMENTS:
Burdened with a weak President who is preoccupied with getting a health care plan passed, we really need to heed the State Department warnings and stay out of Mexico. This is a very dangerous situation that could erupt in U.S. cities at any moment. It is all the more reason to buy a gun, learn how to use it, and get a permit to carry it. It appears to me that if the radical Muslims don’t get us, the Mexican drug czars will.


TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. The White House, Pelosi and Reid are running around saying that they have the votes on the Health Care Plan. So, why not vote and get this debacle over with? (Maybelle ~ Pacifica, CA)
A. Because they don’t have the votes. Obama, Gibbs, Pelosi and Reid lie like rugs. Isn’t it our national shame that we have leaders of this caliber?


Q. I heard that the banks are saying credit card delinquency is down and that is a sign the economy is recovering. What do you think? (Harold ~ Saint Louis, MO)
A. Lower credit card delinquency means that people are paying down their bills, banks are writing off debt balances, or that users are running up balances, (which makes the percentage of delinquency lower). Since credit card balances are going rapidly down, that means charges are not going up. Money being spent by consumers to pay down debt doesn’t contribute to the economy, and credit being written off is a sign of bad times. Anyone who says we are out of the woods is either an imbecile or a politician, (or, most likely, both).

Q. What do you think of the John Edwards thing? (Kyle ~ Yankton, SD)
A. What I see is that Edwards fell head over heels in love with another woman. I don’t see that as being an affair in the typical sense of the word. When this is all over, I think they may marry. The travesty is the manner in which Edwards handled it from the outset. He should be ashamed of dragging his wife through this muck and of asking others to assist him in a cover up. He was probably afraid of the public opinion mill if he divorced his wife while she is suffering from cancer. But, if that marriage was on the rocks and could not be repaired, then the right thing to do would be divorce and let the chips fall where they may. In the long run, it seems to me that there would be less hurt and tragedy if that had been done. As for Mrs. Edwards, if she was such a great wife, I don't think Edwards would have been looking around.  Are any of the three without blame?  No, but as they say, "stuff happens."
