The British Parliament yesterday voted not to allow British troops to participate on an attack on Syria in retaliation for its use of chemical weapons last week.
COMMENTS:
That wise decision leaves Obama internationally embarrassed
and domestically without support as well.
What this portends is anyone’s guess, but I think it clearly defines
Obama as a “lame duck” President. His
predicament is that he will face international loss of face whether he proceeds
with an attack or not. And then there’s that
threat of his to take action if Syria used chemical weapons; what if he doesn't? I halfway expect the White House to come out
with the only explanation: it IS possible that Assad himself did not order the
use of those chemical weapons. “Therefore,
I have decided to take no action at this time.”
In fact, that may well be the spin by the time this post hits
print.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. What is your opinion on the indefinite probation sentence
given to the three blacks who beat up the white kid on that Florida school bus? (Lucas, Palo Cedro, CA)
A. Now, this is not a sarcastic or facetious response. I do believe that this was a racially
motivated crime; I can just hear those three talking about getting even with “his
white ass.” Granted, the probation includes
multiple conditions including community service, random drug tests and
electronic monitoring, for as long as
60 days. In addition, the teens must take anger management classes, comply
with mandatory curfews and stay away from the victim. I believe the victim could have lost his
life. For that reason, I also believe there should have
been some time served in a juvenile hall custody for a minimum of six months,
plus the above. They got off far easier
than most kids would in most jurisdictions.
This is basically not a wake-up call, but just a slap on the wrist.
Q. I think most Americans have recently been labeled as “extremists”
by the Pentagon. They even labeled our
founding fathers as extremists for being disloyal to Britain. In the past, our government has labeled
military and former military people, tea party members, Republicans and
religious people as being “extremists” that have to be watched. What is your response? (Lori ~ Broomfield, CO)
A. That is their “enemies list.” That is why the N.S.A. monitors our phone
calls and emails. That’s why the I.R.S.
has been targeting conservative groups and that is why the Department of
Justice went after the Associated Press and Fox News. They are paranoid, and they should be; they
are not Americans, but anti-Americans and they need to be suspicious of
everything we Americans are doing. We,
on the other hand, need to remain steadfast in our purpose, to restore America’s
democracy.
Q. Why wasn’t America’s only black Senator, Tim Scott,
invited to participate in the Martin Luther King observance? (Cody ~ Kemmerer, WY)
A. Because he’s a Republican.
