AN AMERICAN QUEST

Saturday, November 7, 2009

CLASS AND GRACE, THEN YOU HAVE BARNEY FRANK.

The soulless George Bush and his wife Laura, traveled in secret to Ft. Hood to console the wounded, and the families of the murdered. They did this with no fanfare, this was the definition of class and grace, the actions of a true Patriot. Thank you President Bush and Laura for having heart felt empathy for the families that were the victims of this tragedy. It was a touching moment when President Obama with President Bush met with the,,,,,,oh darn wait Obama was not there wow I thought for sure he would go to express his sorrow and support, I guess he was to busy with his best buds Pelosi and Reid. They all got together to give the American people the single finger salute and assured us the health care bill will pass the house come hell or high water.

The leader of the free world, what an embarrassment to all the Presidents before him.

Former President George W. Bush and his wife Laura secretly visited Fort Hood last night and spent "considerable time" consoling those who were wounded in Thursday's shooting spree, Fox News has learned.

The Bushes entered and departed the sprawling military facility in secret, having told the base commander they did not want press coverage of their visit, a source told Fox News.

The couple was described as "deeply concerned" about military families on Fort Hood after Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan allegedly opened fire on soldiers and civilians, killing 13 and wounding 38.

Chomsky Says Obama Continues Bush Policy to Control Middle East Oil

clipper's remarks: “As late as November, 2007, the U.S. was still insisting that the ‘Status of Forces Agreement’ allow for an indefinite U.S. military presence and privileged access to Iraq’s resources by U.S. investors,” Chomsky added. “Well, they didn’t get that on paper at least. They had to back down,” Alabbasi quotes him as saying.

Chomsky said Middle East oil reserves are understood to be “a stupendous source of strategic power” and “one of the greatest material prizes in world history.”

Concerning Iran, Chomsky said the U.S. acted to overthrow its parliamentary democracy in 1953 “to retain control of Iranian resources” and when the Iranians reasserted themselves in 1979, the U.S. acted “to support Saddam Hussein’s merciless invasion” of that country.

“The torture of Iran continued without a break and still does, with sanctions and other means,” Chomsky said. According to Alabbasi, Chomsky “mocked the idea” presented by mainstream media that a nuclear-armed Iran might attack nuclear-armed

Chomsky Says Obama Continues Bush Policy to Control Middle East Oil

Political activist Noam Chomsky says that although President Obama views the Iraq invasion merely as “a mistake” or “strategic blunder,” it is, in fact, a “major crime” designed to enable America to control the Middle East oil reserves.

“It’s (“strategic blunder”) probably what the German general staff was telling Hitler after Stalingrad,” Chomsky quipped, referring to the big Nazi defeat by the Soviet army in 1943.

“There is basically no significant change in the fundamental traditional conception that if we can control Middle East energy resources, then we can control the world,” he said.

“As Obama came into office, (former Secretary of State) Condoleezza Rice predicted he would follow the policies of Bush’s second term, and that is pretty much what happened, apart from a different rhetorical style,” Chomsky said.

Mr Obama seems a curiously bloodless president.

It is often anyone's guess as to whether an event or issue truly moves him.

I never thought I'd hear myself say it," one Democrat told me. "But Obama makes you feel that at least with Bush you knew where he was on something.

When Mr Bush's Republicans were defeated in the 2006 mid-term elections, it was the President himself who stepped up and declared that his party had received "a thumpin'"

Mr Obama acted as if nothing at all had happened.

And to think that it was Mr Bush who was always accused of being "in denial".

More serious perhaps was Mr Obama's strange disconnectedness over the Fort Hood massacre

Completely missing was the eloquence that Mr Obama employs when talking about himself.

It could do him good to show he has a bit of fire in his belly. Perhaps he might make a decision or two based on gut instinct and deep conviction. In other words, maybe he should try being a bit more like Mr Bush.

Italian Court Delivers Damning Verdict on CIA Renditions

A court in Milan has delivered its verdict in the spectacular trial of several CIA agents involved in the 2003 kidnapping of the Islamist Abu Omar. Some 23 American agents received prison terms after being found guilty in absentia. The court's decision is a condemnation of the anti-terror policies of George W. Bush.

In the world's first trial involving the CIA's "extraordinary renditions" program since the Sept. 11 terror attacks, a court in the Italian city of Milan delivered a clear verdict. A total of 23 US agents were convicted in abstentia and sentenced to prison terms over their role in the 2003 kidnapping of the Islamist Abu Omar.

Twenty-two of the Americans were given five year terms while the former Milan CIA station chief Robert Lady was sentenced to eight years in prison. Three US citizens were acquitted, with reference to their diplomatic immunity.

Clinton-Bush 'Debate' Called Off

Wednesday, November 4, 2009 3:28 PM

There won't be a "death match" between former presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush after all.

The New York Post reports that the event, originally scheduled for Feb. 25 at Radio City Music Hall, has been canceled because it was being touted as "death match faceoff."

"This event ... was supposed to be a discussion between the two former presidents, and has been canceled because it was not being billed as such by an overeager promoter," Clinton spokesman Matt McKenna told the Post. He said the event was actually intended to be a moderated panel discussion rather than a debate, as part of a series pairing liberal and conservative thinkers called "Minds That Move The World."

The Obama Work-Out

clipper's remarks: War-weary Obama manages a decision … more golf! Boston Herald:

WASHINGTON - President Obama has outperformed former President George Bush in a key area - he’s hit the links as many times in nine months as Bush did in nearly three years, political Web sites reported.

Politico, a political news and gossip site, and the Chicago Tribune’s The Swamp, reported that CBS’ Mark Knoller - who documents presidential statistics - Tweeted Sunday, “Today - Obama ties Pres. Bush in the number of rounds of golf played in office: 24. Took Bush 2 yrs & 10 months.”

The Swamp noted that after the invasion of Iraq in 2003, Bush quit golf, saying, “I don’t want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander-in-chief playing golf . . . I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal . . . ”

Come on, guys. Iraq was different. That was Bush’s war. Afghanistan? That’s Bush’s other war!

This really is a new era of hope and change, when the president looks better, more relaxed after taking office than he did before. What’s his secret? Drudge: High-stress basketball, rigorous gym workouts. And lots of golf! It’s that simple. Here’s the best part: It’s taxpayer funded and helps you avoid responsibility! (Important: Avoid straining yourself on weighty war-strategy decisions. No heavy lifting on top agenda items.)

Sounds like the president’s been following my advice on how to Live Forever, Or Die Trying. He could stand to focus more on being Fit for Combat, but I dunno about you, I’m inspired. I probably should do some bills, balance the checkbook this morning, but screw it, I’m going running! Get with the program. You can be presidentially studly for the holidays, too!

Republicans Need to Dump the Neoconservatives

Wed, 04 Nov 2009 01:45:00 GMT

clipped by: blueridge
clipper's remarks: The republicans need a "tea party" within their own camp! The Bush and present GOP "conservatives" are pushing big government Statism as much as Democrats, with only a different slant. Wars for democracy are a key element of both parties now.

There is an insidious philosophy underlying this acceptance of the "natural" growth of statism. Neoconservative columnist David Brooks wrote ... we need "a vigorous One Nation Conservatism ... by making the nation great, individuals are able to join their narrow concerns to a larger national project."

Actually, it was originally the Democrats that used to believe in curtailing the powers of the Federal government. (This was after the Civil War where they were called Dixie-crats).

The GOP should dump the neocons

Limited-government conservatives have been undermined by big-government neoconservatives.

The founders envisioned a federal government constitutionally limited to defending our rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. For that to happen, we must have at least one political party that strongly advocates limiting the power of government. For much of the 19th century, that party was the Democrats. For the early part of the 20th century and from the early 1960s through 1988, that party was the Republicans.

Today, it is difficult to find noninterventionists in either party.

It is important to realize that neocons are not just nation-building, America-first advocates. They like big government across the board.

As for the GOP, it has outwardly abandoned the limited-government principles of Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan.

What happened to the Republicans? Well, the two Bush presidencies didn't help.

Obama Funder Jodie Evans Calls for Kidnapping of George and Laura Bush

One of President Barack Obama’s top funders, Code Pink’s Jodie Evans, is encouraging the kidnapping of former President George W. Bush and his wife Laura, according to new statements issued this week by Jodie Evans and Code Pink.

…You can also use our website to track where the war criminals will be and how to do a citizen’s arrest action! Let Bush’s “motivational speaking tour” motivate you to arrest the war criminal!

The actions being urged and guided by Jodie Evans and Code Pink could result in federal kidnapping charges against someone who takes up their call for vigilantism–or their death as the Bushes still have Secret Service protection.

Jodie Evans and Code Pink have published a how-to guide at their Code Pink website for conducting citizens arrests of the Bushes and former Bush administration officials over their policies

When there's an article in the news about a child rescued from a well, some buffoon always has to put their political spin on it. Do you know why the child fell down the well to begin with? Do you know who's at fault? It's easy- either George Bush or Barack Obama- or Barack Obama or George Bush. (I am not here to make a political statement of ANY kind). I'm sending my thoughts on this to both USAToday.com and CNN.com. I feel sure that nothing will happen if, not when, my missive is read. On a number of blogs comments are not posted until the moderator approves them. I think that would be a great idea for all these news sites. Let all the comments, both pro and con be posted.
