Questions for Real Reporters

Are you tired of the media interviewing key government people such as Obama, Kerry, or Hillary and getting no information because the media refuses to probe into any real depth.  Let’s take this ISIS business for example.

Here are some better questions:

Why are we arming the free Syrian Army when their main goal is to get rid of Assad, not ISIS?

If we give arms to the free Syrian Army how are we going to make sure that they use it to attack ISIS?

How do you know those arms won’t fall into ISIS’s hands?

What makes you think that the free Syrian army wants to do anything other than help ISIS?

Don’t both groups want to kill Assad? Doesn’t that put them on the same side?

Won’t arming these people be giving arms to radical Muslims?

Will more Americans die because we are arming the free Syrian army?

Who is in charge of vetting these folks before we give them US arms and munitions?

How has the free Syrian army treated Christians?

Why does Secretary Kerry do everything he can to deny this is a war?

Why does Obama completely ignore the advice of his military advisers?’

Why are we sending 3000 troops to stop Ebola, but next to none to stop ISIS?

Is Ebola a greater threat to us than ISIS?

How are our troops trained in handling viral pandemics?

Doesn’t it put our troops in danger of catching the disease and bringing it back?

Doesn’t sending our troops, who are medically untrained into an Ebola hot zone put their live at risk and the live of Americans back home at risk?

Why does CBS, ABC and NBC not ask these questions?  Do they want Americans to be at risk?

 

 

 

 

How Obama and The Ivy League Elite Are So Wrong

As a graduate of Colgate University, a school whose history counts it in the same club as many of the Ivy League schools I understand the liberal elitist dogma which is guiding our current leaders.   My first philosophy paper was on communism, in support of it.  I was given huge kudos for explaining how it is supposed to work and why it had failed previously.  These kudos reinforced the commitment to communist and socialist ideals.  Had I become a professor,  lawyer or politician never to truly enter the workplace, as do a significant portion of the Ivy League graduates, I would never have seen the clear reason that communism fails, it is against people,s self interest.  It will always fail compared to any system that rewards success.

Unfortunately, as with the adherence to communist philosophy these elite believe that violence, the preservation of the state by strength is an anachronistic tenet.  When Russia invades and takes over the Crimea, they denounce it as uncivilized, not 21st century, but they have no idea how to oppose the aggression.  They are unwilling to use strength to oppose those who wish to destroy us.  In doing so, they fail to realize that human nature includes those with aggressive ambition and that the the only way to deter them is by being stronger than them.  Without a strong ally, any country who lacks sufficient defenses is vulnerable.  That is why ISIS now  controls much of Iraq, Russia has the Crimea and much of Ukraine, and China has reasserted itself on territory in the far east.   We are perceived as weak thanks to Ivy League thinking.

No greater example of this is in the President’s speech on ISIS.  He refused to call the action a war.  He claimed that ISIS was not motivated by Islam, and he denied that they had a real religion.  He then applied a minimal amount of resources towards defeating the enemy.

Let’s evaluate the facts.  ISIS says that they are at war with us and are beheading our citizens.  They are taking land by military force.  By any standard other than those held by the Ivy League / Ivory Tower liberals its a war and our people are dying.  If we fail to treat it as such many more will die as a result of our inattention.  It used to be winning a war meant all out effort to destroy, (not degrade) your enemy.  The President does not have his heart in protecting the US because he does not recognize that there are very bad people out to kill us.  No amount of dialog will fix it.  They only recognize overwhelming force. Yes, they are barbarians.  Ivy League philosophy fails to recognize that barbarians exist.

On the topic of religion.  The Maya played a game where the loser’s head was removed and presented to the Gods.  It was barbaric, but no Ivy League ideology claimed that it was not a true religion as did Obama about the brutal form of Islam we face.  It is a religion and as defined by the believers, they are in a holy war to kill Christians and Jews.  How Obama thinks he is in a position to tell us what is and what is not a religion is the height of hubris.    If it is there knife at our head, how does denying that it is a religion help?

This liberal ideology, as taught in our elite schools, is creating whole generations that do not understand human nature.  They propound what they want human nature to be, and ignore anything that does not fit in their world view.  Thanks to that world view we are living in more dangerous times than we have ever experienced before.  That world view has justified big government, spying on Americans, opening up our borders and eliminating our constitution.  Perhaps these ‘smart people’ are really not so smart.  There is a word for describing those whose view of the world amounts to a fantasy.

What do ISIS, Gay Marriage, Ray Rice, and Justin Beiber Have in Common?

How is a writing desk like a raven?  No, I can’t answer that famed Lewis Carroll question, but I can tell you what ISIS, Gay Marriage and Justin Beiber have in common.  As a country we face unprecedented threats to our sovereignty, our prosperity, and to our very way of life. Nevertheless, the news consistently focuses on things that matter far less than the ultimate collapse of the United States.

On the southern border the flow of undocumented illegals, aliens, and invaders into our country continues and increases each day.   Aided by a willing and unconstitutional federal government  these children, adults, cartel members, gang members and future terrorists stream into the United States.  These people are sent to every corner of the US and the local communities are forced to absorb the costs in crime and education. Ultimately, the resources required will run out and whole communities will be destroyed by this influx.  Yet we hear nothing about the strains this process is putting on normal life.  Already schools are complaining that there are not enough resources.

ISIS beheaded two Americans.  It’s  a horror.  The inner city cultures across our country are wrought with gangs, black on black crime and death by the 1000’s each year.  More than in any war zone, and we are worried more about ISIS than what is happening right here. How does news about Justin Beiber smoking dope on an airplane trump news about the carnage in our cities?

Food costs have ballooned more in the past couple of years than in the decade before.  Real incomes are down. Poverty is at an all time high.  How is that barely reported while a huge effort goes into telling us which states don’t allow gay marriage.    Millions are suffering while the  news focuses on the subset of the 3% of the population that are gay and interested in marriage.

Our media plays some sort of magic trick while it hides the truth of the disintegration of American society by keeping the population’s focus away from what is important.  The millions living the experience know the truth. As the disintegration continues million more will know the truth.  Eventually there will be a backlash against those that lied to them for so many years.

 

The New Anti-Semitism — Where will it Stop?

All the obfuscation in the world will not hide the fact that Hamas (supported by Iran and US dollars) is a terrorist group whose stated intent is the death of all Israelis.  Not only is that the stated intent but the reality as evidenced by tunnels, suicide bombers and 1000’s of rockets. Those are the facts. 

So why would anyone blame Israel, the country that has been under decades of attack from people bent on their destruction?    Why would the US continue to fund (through the Palestinian Authority) Hamas?  The only logical explanation is that those supporting Hamas and blaming Israel are anti-Semites. (Not my original idea, but expounding on it.) They are supporting the destruction of the Jews, first in the middle east, then across the world.  By supporting the Palestinians they can be Jew Haters without saying so out loud.  

If I want to destroy you and your life and want to do so through someone else that also wants to destroy you, it does not change the fact that I am supporting your destruction.  Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, much of the UN and a substantial number of Muslims all want the destruction of Israel. Most of those same people want the destruction of Christian’s and all who do not agree with their version of Islam.  It is anti-Semitic.  It is hate.  

I am Jewish, and I am a believer in Jesus Christ, therefore a Christian.  ISIS in Iraq is currently killing Christians by the 10,000’s.  If Iran gets rid of Israel they will next turn their hate on the west, Christians first.  Hate never stops with its first victim, particularly hate fueled by religious fanaticism.  

Where is the US in protecting Israel?  Why is Obama giving Iran time to develop a nuclear weapon?  Why does the US continue to fund Hamas?  Where are the defenders of freedom?  Is our federal government anti-Semitic?  Why do Jews continue to fund a government that is actively supporting their destruction?  Did the Nazi’s teach nothing.  If those who had an interest in the preservation of Israel would stand up and remove those that continue to endanger it the world would be a much safer place.  If you remain silent on this, when they come for you, it will be too late.
