The House has passed H.R. 4133, an AIPAC designed, Israel firster dream bill. Ron Paul and John Dingell are the only reps that voted no in a limited debate, quick vote session. There must be enough Muslims in Michigan to negate AIPAC. Hmm… they are not so bad after all! The bill, in a nutshell, obligates US to keeping the Israel defenses up to date, supplying a $1Billion missile defense system and has language that supports Israel’s membership in NATO. We are of course obligated to defend fellow NATO members in time of (Iranian) war. A major reason for the bill no doubt. Defend Israel by ourselves because the US essentially is NATO. The other members ran out of ammo playing in the Libyan sandbox. We are to veto any resolutions, presumably the UN variety, critical of Israel. The validity of the criticism is apparently irrelevant. Demand your Senators to kill this. Mine won’t. Casey and Toomey are empire builders and not unfamiliar with the taste of Israeli boot leather. The House once again kneels before President Netanyahu. No doubt the other 101 lackeys in Washington will also. See Philip Giraldi here.
Be seeing you

Robert Cogan’s Clash of Political Positions in the current Erie Reader got me to thinking about political tags from a Libertarian viewpoint. Mr. Cogan presents an enlightening comparison of political philosophies, primarily liberal, progressive, conservative and Libertarian. He describes many characteristics of each breed that I agree with. There are many unfortunate similarities also. These groups are not at all what they pretend to be. There are few real conservatives for example, at least not in the paleo-conservative Robert Taft tradition. Read the rest of this entry »

I was about to visit Michael Gerson after his last tirade but that would get boring. Gerson’s obedient regurgitating of the Neo-Con war party dogma gets boring fast. Richard Cohen came to his rescue last week. Here. Cohen makes many accusations and I will try to intelligently respond where I can.
Cohen says RP would have let Nazi Germany take over Europe because he is “isolationist”. There are some that believe that if the U.S. had not entered WWI there would have been a stalemate. Read the rest of this entry »

Below is my latest letter sent to the Erie Times News-I would surely like to see a recall movement in PA.
The Patriot Act has essentially repealed the 4th Amendment. Now the Fifth Amendment which says we cannot incriminate ourselves, cannot be held without being charged or cannot be denied legal representation and that we have a guarantee of a speedy trial is toast. This is due to the National Defense Authorization Act, sponsored by Senators McCain and Levin who never saw a war they did not like. Read the rest of this entry »

Once in a while the radio gets boring and I switch to Sean Hannity for some light-hearted comedy after a grueling day at work. Rick Santorum was being interviewed, this being long before the election campaigning started. Our troops had just “discovered” a cache of empty gas cylinders somewhere in Iraq.

George really through me for a loop when I read that in today’s Erie Times News. There are few if any isolationist countries. No one country is self-sufficient. The only ones close are Korea and they are propped up by China and Miyanmar (also known as Burma). By the way I live in Pennsylvania (also known as Penn’s Woods). Read the rest of this entry »

if you had any doubts they should have been put to bed by Leon Panetta. He recently declared we are staying in Iraq through 2012. Maliki denied this. Whether the denial is for show or not I don’t know. But I know the War Department is going to continually tell Iraq they want us to stay until they agree. Read the rest of this entry »

Mary Sanchez recently had a column taking Michelle Bachmann to task which illustrates the thinking that has us sliding toward disaster. Bachmann rightly advocates shutting down the Department of Education. Read the rest of this entry »

Guest Voice Stephen Herzenberg was rehashing the same old stuff on the opinion page today. Paul Ryan’s plan to keep taxes low and cut services is bad. Yada yada yada.
