Presidential Politics

I was saddened when I listened to President Obama at an unscheduled press conference discussing the noise being generated by some of the media concerning his birth certificate. Despite proof to the contrary nearly half of the Republicans bought into the lie that he was not born in the United States. The fact that large numbers of Americans accepted the lie proves that Goebels was correct when he said that if you repeat a lie often enough it will be accepted as the truth by a growing number of people. In my opinion this reflects a serious racial bias against a black man being president.I fear for our country.

Kindle for PC

Recently I installed Kindle for PC on my computer. This is a great "add-ons" for reading books online. First, its free and I don't need a Kindle reader. This is the Amazon reader that sells for $139 if you want one you can carry around. The program does everything the regular Kindle reader will do. Amazon has a large number of books that can be downloaded for a reduced price as well as a bunch of free books. Currently I am reading Benedict XVI's first volume of Jesus. This is not an ad for Amazon. I just enjoy the program.

OUT OF AFGHAN WAR

After the response of some Afghan folks to the burning of the Quran by some nut in Florida resulting in the death of 7 UN people and the parade with anti-American signs, I urge the President to remove all American from the country. Declare victory and leave.

Report to Representatives.

From time to time I like to write down my hopes for actions by our politicians in the hope that they will read my blog for insipration on how to vote. As of today, my desires for my government are:
1. Return to the draft for military service. A volunteer army leeds to separation of voter and taxpayer. If there were a draft young people would be interested in world affairs.
2. Pull all American military out of Iraq and Afganistan. If we haven't won after all this time, we are not likley to ever win.
3. Explain to me and others why we have large numbers of troops in Germany, Japan and dozens of other countries.
4. Establish a national health plan, single payer type. Medicare works very well thank you.
5. Order that all government owned vehicle run on natural gas.
6. Fix the potholes in all our roads and streets.
7. Reduce the speed limit in Interstates to 55 mph. Enforce the speed limit. This would serve two priorities: improve milage of automobiles, put monies in the treasuries of cities from speeding fines.
