OBAMA, KERRY CHASTISE ISRAEL



While saying they support Israel, both President Obama and John Kerry have expressed concerns about the rising death toll among Palestinians and Hamas. 

COMMENTS:
They talk out of both sides of their mouths.  War is war.  Wars bring casualties. If you don’t want and expect casualties, don’t start a war.  Hamas has been relentlessly attacking Israel without regard for Israeli lives.  Israel warned the residents of Gaza to get out of town ahead of time; Hamas does not.  Obama and Kerry don’t have the slightest idea of what war is all about… I don’t care HOW many Purple Hearts and Bronze Stars Kerry says he has.  At least Netanyahu, unlike Obama, does know how best to defend his country: don’t pick fights, but kick the crap out of anybody who does. 

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. It seems to me that Russia has seized world power and is now the dominant nation of all.  Do you agree?  (Cleotus ~ Oakland, CA)
A. Yes and no.  We willingly ceded world power to Putin; he did not have to seize it.  Since we emerged as the world leader at the end of World War II, we have consistently been THE world power.  But, starting with the Syrian red line that quickly turned yellow when the chips were down, it became known that this President was no world leader and that America was willing to step down from its role.  From there, in such a short time, it snowballed into a world full of dangerous chaos.  The only thing left in America’s power arsenal these days is Obama’s dangerous left hook on the golf course. 

Q. Dr. Ben Carson is suggesting that we remove the party tags from candidate names on election materials in order to force people into learning about their candidates as opposed to voting for straight party-line tickets.  It sounds good; do you think it will work?  (Dana ~ Tulsa, OK)
A. No.  Experience teaches me you cannot force people to do what they would otherwise not do on their own.  The only way to encourage people to learn more about the candidates is to have more candidate nights on the tube during prime time.  Or, I suppose you could develop game cards where you answer which candidate is for gun control, which is for state rights, etc. and the ones with the most correct answers have a drawing for a free year of text messaging, fries at McDonalds, or something like that. 

Q. What do you think of the Republican plan to slash the President’s $3.7 billion border spending request?  (Cliff ~ Albany, OR)
A. They didn’t think their plan through.  Modify it to include mandatory closing of the border as a precondition to using any of the money for anything else.  Politically, I think they’ll lose ground if they just simply cut the budget, not that they have much ground left to lose.   

TODAY’S QUOTE:
“The most important thing for me is to have a relationship with God.  To know that the owner, the creator of the universe loves you, sent his Son to die for your sins; that’s very empowering.  Knowing Him and knowing that He loves me gives me encouragement and confidence to move forward.” ~ Dr. Ben Carson
