See how the interest on our national debt is being put to use by China? Does it comfort you to know that we are in bed with our enemy? TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. I read that the New York mosque project is doomed because no one in the United States will finance the project and no construction company will build it. (Lynda ~ Thousand Oaks, CA)A. The claims of failure for lack of money or a construction firm are bogus on their face; that they even said it is an insult to my intelligence. They can get all of the money they need through their associates in the Middle East. We have no legal grounds to prevent them from using that as a source. As far as construction goes, the permitting process will go forward under Bloomberg’s watchful eyes and they can form their own construction company, (probably already have), with their own workers to build the mosque. Does it disturb you that the idea for this mosque at this site was hatched after Americans raised objections to Khalid Sheik Mohammed being tried in New York City at almost that same spot? That should make it obvious what their plans and intents are and Obama will certainly thwart any attempt to stop it. Are you angry? I’m outraged. See today’s MY AMERICAN OPINION.
Q. Last year we had a disastrous California fire known as the Station Fire. I understand it is now under a federal investigation. What’s up? (Maurice ~ Shingletown, CA)
A. The Forest Service Dispatch Center withheld several hours of early recordings on the fire from investigators and despite a Freedom of Information Act request from the L.A. Times. It is not yet known what was on the tapes, but there is no reason to withhold them unless they show some misfeasance or malfeasance on the part of the dispatch center. It is being alleged that the recordings do contain some telephone calls that were not known to the parties involved.
Q. There are some states where there are three candidates running for an office, Democrat, Republican and Tea Party. First, I didn’t know the Tea Party had become a political party and second, I understand that Democrats in those states are helping the Tea Party candidate in the hopes that they can diffuse the votes and take away from the Republicans and thereby win? Isn’t that dirty politics?
A. Let me start from the end. Politics is never clean. Politics has gotten way down into the sewer in recent years, but it has never been clean. Now, back to the beginning: There are many tea parties in the United States, not just one big party. The parties have, by and large, decided not to get into politics at this time; I think they are waiting to see what happens in November and may become politically active for 2012. In some cases, the party (ies) doesn’t feel that either the Republican or the Democratic candidate meets their objectives and they are fielding their own candidate. Finally, the Democrats fail to recognize there are many people in their own political party who are Tea Party advocates; so, in trying to back a Tea Party candidate in order to take votes away from the Republican, they will also be taking away votes from their own candidate. I guess, just because you’re a politician and just because you are a Democrat doesn’t mean you can’t be stupid.
