OBAMA NEEDS TO READ THE POWELL DOCTRINE;

Barack Obama had his A** handed to him last night, by a slick used car salesman. Mitt Romney once again reinvented himself as a center-left moderate, a complete 180 degree turn from the severe conservative he said he was before.

I watched the debate in stunned silence,as Barack Obama stood there and allowed The lying bas­tard to lie time and again with­out chal­leng­ing him. Mitt Romney and his han­dlers knew what they had to do and they did it.

It was no sur­prise that before the last words were uttered in the debates , the rabid right ultra par­ti­san hate mon­gers were out sali­vat­ing at what they saw as total dom­i­na­tion by their can­di­date the snake oil salesman.

Leading the charge was the Rabbit tooth race-bait­ing Rudolph Giuliani and the twist­ed mouth George Pataki, inter­est­ing­ly enough , both New York Republicans who man­aged to be elect­ed to office in that State despite total dis­dain and hate for black people.

But this is not about these two morons, this is about Obama and his colos­sal debate flop, there are no cov­er­ing this up Barack Obama seemed like a total wuss, period.

Barack Obama 

Mitt Romney

I have had the occa­sion pre­vi­ous­ly, to state clear­ly, if Barack Obama does not want to be pres­i­dent any­more he should say so. That per­son who showed up did not seem to want to be pres­i­dent of the United States.

Liberal com­men­ta­tors Chris Matthews and Ed Schultz blast­ed Obama for not show­ing up pre­pared to debate. At best Obama seemed chas­tened, unprepared,and even unsure what facial expres­sion to wear.

Obama seemed clear­ly care­ful, overt­ly care­ful, not to project the image of the angry black man. News flash to Barack Obama, there is not a sin­gle American who do not already know you are a black man, and guess what they know you do not like Mitt Romney. What the hell was up with you act­ing all friend­ly with Romney?

Here’s a clue to Obama try look­ing at the Powell doc­trine, if it’s a fair fight do not engage, if you have to go to war take all your weapons use them , kick ass and go home.

Barack Obama went into the first debate with a can­di­date that was los­ing, Mitt Romney had no momen­tum , his cam­paign lacked cohe­sion or focus. The pri­ma­ry thing that could be said for Romney’s cam­paign was that they were throw­ing s*** at the wall hop­ing that some­thing would stick.

All Obama had to do was to put his foot on the neck of this patho­log­i­cal liar Mitt Romney and win the pres­i­den­tial race, he failed and he failed dis­mal­ly. If Barack Obama los­es this race he need look no fur­ther than the first debate.

If Obama is wor­ried about not look­ing like the angry black man at this stage of the game, then he has no idea what the hell is hap­pen­ing out in the coun­try. Anyone who would cast Obama as such, Democrat, Republican, or so-called Independent, were not going to vote for Obama anyway.

And by the way if there is any­one in this coun­try who has a moral right to be angry it is the black man.

For all intents and pur­pos­es, the pres­i­den­tial race was sup­posed to be con­clud­ed last night, Obama pro­longed it he failed to stomp Romney into a pulp, this rabid dog will come back to bite Obama in the ass.

(1) On the ques­tion of the 716 Billion Dollars that Romney alleges the pres­i­dent strips from Medicare, Obama failed to chal­lenge Romney on it, Romney’s run­ning mate Paul Ryan’s bud­get does the exact same thing, the same bud­get Romney said he would sign into law.

(2) On the ques­tion of rais­ing tax­es on the mid­dle class Obama allowed Romney to lie that he would not give the rich­est Americas a 5 Trillion dol­lar tax cut , on top of 2 addi­tion­al Trillion to the Military which the Pentagon does not want, that is 7 Trillion Dollars Romney said he would pay for with clos­ing loop­holes. Of course he will not say what loop­holes he would close, except to tell Moderator Jim Lehrer he would cut fund­ing to pub­lic tele­vi­sion, essen­tial­ly Romney only had strength for Big Bird.

I could go on and on about how Obama let the snake oil sales­man off the hook but I must also ref­er­ence John Sununu in these blogs again.

John Sununu

This mag­got called the pres­i­dent of the United States lazy on MSNBC Thursday with Andrea Mitchell. It is not the first time this deranged Mongrel referred to the President of the United States in that deroga­to­ry way. It is one thing to dis­agree with some­one, it is quite anoth­er thing to use racial lan­guage to describe him.

John Sununu has con­tin­ued to show him­self as a despi­ca­ble gut­ter rat that ought not be tak­en seri­ous­ly,. Andrea Mitchell called him out on it and rather than back away he dou­bled down , cit­ing the President’s words when he jok­ing­ly said quote: “They are mak­ing me do my home work”, the pres­i­dent made the com­ment after he deliv­ered Piazza to his staff at one of his cam­paign offices in Colorado.

Within the group of slime balls out there , angry at a black man in the White House this degen­er­ate Sununu has exem­pli­fied him­self as among the worse.

But back to Obama he did not men­tion Romney’s 47% comment.

He did not men­tion Romney and repub­li­cans war on women.

He did not bring up Romney and repub­li­can’s war on immi­grants, and self-deportation.

He did not bring up that Romney said he was severe­ly con­ser­v­a­tive, even though Romney is on record say­ing he was not a Reaganite, but an Independent.

He did not bring up any of the mul­ti­plic­i­ty of posi­tions Romney has tak­en on every issue over the years , or over the course of this campaign.

He did not men­tion Bain Capital.

He did not men­tion Romney’s off­shore accounts.

He did not men­tion Romney s lies on his China Policy.

He did not men­tion Romney’s war mon­ger saber-rat­tling, toward Iran.

I will stop here I’m real­ly too angry at this performance.

PLEASE STOP COMMITTING CRIMES?

Glendon Harris the Mayor of Montego Bay, Jamaica’s second City , has issued an impassioned appeal to criminals operating in his city, to cease and desist from their criminal ways. Harris’ appeal came against the backdrop of a 7% increase in homicides in the parish of Saint James over the corresponding period last year, which saw 123 people murdered.

Crimes against women also seem to be on the increase in Saint James , recent­ly 5 females includ­ing an eight (8) year old child was bru­tal­ly and vicious­ly raped in the com­mu­ni­ty of Irwing.

The Editorial page of the Jamaica Gleaner was very pre­cise in telling the Mayor to give what­ev­er infor­ma­tion he has to the rel­e­vant author­i­ties, the police, along with sworn affi­davits. On these blogs there is not much in com­mon between us and the Editorial Page of the Gleaner, but on this we agree.

What is evi­dent in the case of Montego Bays Glendon Harris, is a Mayor who has infor­ma­tion crit­i­cal to law enforce­ment but does not give that infor­ma­tion to the police.Harris takes it onto him­self to beseech crim­i­nals to quote:“stop it”.

Even as Harris begs crim­i­nals to stop com­mit­ting crimes there is news of 3 more peo­ple shot in Ewarton Saint Catherine, includ­ing two Police Officers .

As a for­mer law enforce­ment Officer I am deeply offend­ed that peo­ple elect­ed to lead can be this juve­nile with the pow­ers vest­ed in them.

From our expe­ri­ence, the Mayor of any city is at the top of the food-chain on all issues which affect the city. he/​she is the chief exec­u­tive officer.

Law enforce­ment strate­gies are planned and the Mayor is briefed, he/​she has their input and the plan is executed.

I am not sure that in the case of Jamaica, includ­ing a politi­cian into secu­ri­ty mat­ters is a good idea but in oth­er juris­dic­tions the may­or is in the loop as to what hap­pens in his/​her city.

The plea by Glendon to crim­i­nals to sim­ply stop what they are doing is a slap in the face of hard-work­ing law enforce­ment offi­cers , decent law-abid­ing Jamaicans and every­one not involved in crim­i­nal behav­ior. Begging crim­i­nals to stop com­mit­ting crimes ignores the crimes they already com­mit­ted, it belit­tles and negates the hurt and pain they already inflict­ed on oth­ers needlessly.

It is not up to the Mayor to extend Amnesty to criminals.

It’s not up to any­one to offer Amnesty to crim­i­nals, crim­i­nals who com­mit crimes must pay for their crimes.

Begging crim­i­nals to cease and desist from com­mit­ting crimes is not a strat­e­gy that works. Those pre­dis­posed to com­mit­ting and engag­ing in crim­i­nal activ­i­ty must be made painful­ly aware that if they so choos­es, there will be seri­ous con­se­quences for their actions, period.

Jamaica depends heav­i­ly on tourism, if Glendon Harris do not under­stand the impli­ca­tions to the city if tourists stop com­ing, how can he lead that city?

Of course, Glendon Harris’ is the Mayor who stood before a polit­i­cal­ly altered Jamaican flag and took the oath of office, with­out protest­ing the low-class deface­ment of our most rec­og­niz­able and sacred nation­al symbol,by imbe­ciles in his own party.

That was a defin­ing moment as it relates to the judge­ment , integri­ty, and intel­lect of Harris.

FOREVER IN CAMPAIGN MODE, NO LEADERSHIP:

When the smoke of the general elections cleared in Jamaica and the winning party named their humongous cabinet, I said then it would be a tragedy​.It was a tragedy because clearly the winning PNP was unprepared to govern, it was tired, out of ideas and had not had enough time to understand, define or develop a strategy which would have enabled it to have a fighting chance at governing effectively.

Almost a year lat­er the Jamaican peo­ple are being made painful­ly aware of the con­se­quences of their actions, (not cri­tiquing their choice) . People vote for who they feel best rep­re­sent their inter­est, some­times, most times the desired results are not forth­com­ing after the din of elec­tions are over.

Politicians under­stand they have to do and say what it takes to get elect­ed, I get that, it is a tough busi­ness which requires grit and deter­mi­na­tion, with much at stake. Jamaica’s elec­torates like most oth­er are start­ing to wake up from the morn­ing of a real­ly bad first date.

I will not be pre­sump­tu­ous to sug­gest that the Jamaican peo­ple are unin­formed, or that they do not know what they want. I also do not know the exact rea­son they threw out the Jamaica Labor Party after just one term, and replaced them with the par­ty which had been in office for 18 12 years, a tenure which did not turn out so well.

Well now the real­ly bad blind date is over, it’s the day after, the stark real­i­ty of how bad that date was, is now evident.

Crime is at an astro­nom­i­cal high, women and babies are being raped, peo­ple are increas­ing­ly ter­ri­fied of leav­ing their homes, chil­dren are trau­ma­tized afraid to even go to school. No one is spared the crip­pling effects of the ram­pant wave of unchecked crim­i­nal­i­ty sweep­ing over the country.

Police Officers are slaugh­tered along with the ter­ri­fied cit­i­zen­ry, no one has answers for the coun­try’s blood thirsty killers who roam unfet­tered , unafraid to threat­en entire Police Precincts with annihilation.

These are not emp­ty threats , they have the means and the will to car­ry out their threats , demon­stra­bly so.

PROOF BEYONDSHADOW OFDOUBT THEY HAVE BOTH MEANS AND WILL.

Police sta­tions burned, vehi­cles torched, heavy weapon­ry confiscated .

The fun­da­men­tal issue with Jamaica, as I have said time and time again, is that the polit­i­cal lead­er­ship, of arguably both polit­i­cal par­ties ‚do not under­stand the detri­men­tal effect crime has on the country.

Since the People’s National Party is in Government at this time, it falls on them to get a grip talk to the Jamaican Diaspora. I do not mean the lame bour­geois from uptown Kingston, who now reside in Florida, but real Jamaicans who reside in New York State and oth­er large Metropolises.

These Jamaicans will relate to any­one who will lis­ten, how desirous they are of return­ing to the land of their birth, to invest, to par­tic­i­pate, to vol­un­teer. The num­ber one prob­lem most will argue is not hav­ing access to good hos­pi­tals, fan­cy stores, good roads to dri­ve on, none of the crea­ture com­forts they have grown accus­tomed to over decades of liv­ing in the devel­oped world.

Their pri­ma­ry con­cern , is that they are high­ly like­ly to be butchered in their own homes for a few measly bucks.

The gov­ern­ment has zero clue or desire, nei­ther does it have a plan which will return our coun­try to a path of prosperity.

At the zenith of the polit­i­cal food-chain is a Prime Minister, seem­ing­ly inca­pable of under­stand­ing what is required, on the sec­ond tier there are Ministers and Parliamentarians who dou­ble as tri­al lawyers.

This is clear­ly a con­flict of inter­est, yet they are allowed to con­tin­ue to rep­re­sent mur­der­ous crim­i­nals in court then head over to the House of Parliament to leg­is­late. The fact is that these tri­al lawyers have a vest­ed inter­est in crim­i­nal­i­ty, they feel insu­lat­ed from crime, they get paid from crime,.

They are not about to leg­is­late for harsh sen­tences for dan­ger­ous felons.

Rather than out­rage, it seem Jamaicans are numb to the effects of crime, they recoil into sur­vival mode, hop­ing the next vic­tim will be their neigh­bor, not them. Others sim­ply join the criminality.

We are get­ting to crit­i­cal mass here.

SERIAL ADULTERER NEWT GINGRICH MAKES HIMSELF EVEN LESS SIGNIFICANT.

Intellectually savvy people never thought Newt Gingrich was a decent human being, every time he opens his mouth he shows that he is a vile despicable maggot .

Just a cou­ple of days ago this vile over­weight despi­ca­ble loath­some pig said on FOX News to Greta Van Susteren that the President of the United States was not a real President.http://​the​hill​.com/​v​i​d​e​o​/​c​a​m​p​a​i​g​n​/​2​5​8​6​8​9​-​g​i​n​g​r​i​c​h​-​o​b​a​m​a​-​n​o​t​-​a​-​r​e​a​l​-​p​r​e​s​i​d​ent.

Newt Gingrich John Sununu

Donald Trump

Gingrich fan­cies him­self as a Historian, he imag­ines him­self as some­one who shaped America in a mean­ing­ful way, every chance Gingrich gets he talks about him­self in those terms.

As if the loath­some racial assault he lev­eled at the pres­i­dent was not enough the fat hog went on to say the fol­low­ing on FOX Tuesday.

Obama is a “false pres­i­dent,” a “part-time pres­i­dent,” and…wait for it…a “lazy” president.

This fits snug­ly into the nice racist lit­tle nar­ra­tive the three Mongrels pic­tured above have been per­pet­u­at­ing for the last 4 years.

He real­ly is like the [NFL] sub­sti­tute ref­er­ees in the sense that he’s not a real pres­i­dent. He doesn’t do any­thing that pres­i­dents do, he doesn’t wor­ry about any of the things the pres­i­dents do,” Gingrich said. “But he has the White House. He has enor­mous pow­er. And he’ll go down in his­to­ry as the pres­i­dent, and I sus­pect that he’s pret­ty con­temp­tu­ous of the rest of us.”

Hillary Clinton is a seri­ous per­son. Barack Obama is an ambi­tious per­son. They’re very dif­fer­ent per­son­al­i­ties. Hillary Clinton gets up every day think­ing about pub­lic pol­i­cy. Barack Obama gets up every­day think­ing about Barack Obama. They’re very dif­fer­ent approach­es to life. And I think those of us who are his crit­ics need to get over it and under­stand this is who is pres­i­dent. This is a man who in the age of false-celebri­ty hood is sort of the per­fect pres­i­dent because he is a false pres­i­dent. He is a guy who doesn’t do the president’s job.”

The prob­lem with these intel­lec­tu­al retards is that all of the oth­er Mongrels through­out this country“s his­to­ry did not get judged favor­ably by rel­e­vant peo­ple, they are foot-notes in history.

For an Egomaniac like Gingrich who is bloat­ed with his own sense of self-impor­tance, it is vital­ly impor­tant for him in his mind that he be viewed as sig­nif­i­cant even posthumously.

News flash to Gingrich etal, you will be mere men­tions of infamy.

When intel­li­gent peo­ple ref­er­ence his­to­ry Gingrich will be recalled as a ser­i­al Adulterer.

He will be recalled as a hyp­ocrite who worked tire­less­ly to impeach President Clinton for an ill-advised fling with an intern, while he him­self was involved in illic­it Adulterous affairs at the same time.

Gingrich will be recalled as a Fraud who got run out of Congress on mul­ti­ple ethics charges.

The oth­er two incon­se­quen­tial morons are unwor­thy of fur­ther evaluation.

ETCH-A-SKETCH:

Mitt Romney
Mitt Romney

Mitt Romney believes he can ride to victory, grabbing the keys to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue from Barack and Michelle Obama on the singular issue of a perceived bad economy.

Of course Romney felt that would be a viable strat­e­gy, why not? The Pundits all argue that no pres­i­dent may be re-elect­ed with unem­ploy­ment above 7%. The much maligned Obama-Care had seen Tea-Party Fanatics sweep­ing to pow­er, wrest­ing con­trol of the House of Representatives from Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats.

Democrats of course not been go ‑get­ters, sat on their ass­es and did noth­ing, zilch, nada. Republicans went around the coun­try blast­ing the pres­i­dent for what they dis­parag­ing­ly dubbed Obama-care. Every Republican did the same as they do on every issue, they dom­i­nat­ed the air­waves with talk­ing points,“Obama-care is big Government take over of the best health care sys­tem in the world’.

Democrats did noth­ing to not only push back on the good of the pres­i­den­t’s health care ini­tia­tive, they ran as hell from it. Not only did they allow Republicans to shape the nar­ra­tive on what is a good piece of leg­is­la­tion, Democrats allowed it to be so maligned it cost them the House of Representatives.

The truth is, a vast chunk of the American pop­u­la­tion had no health care in the so-called best sys­tem in the world. Even with the por­tion of Obama-Care which has been imple­ment­ed thus far, pre­vent­ing Insurance Companies from refus­ing to insure Americans with pre-exist­ing con­di­tions, there are yet mil­lions of Americans who still have no Health Insurance.

What the sin­gu­lar strat­e­gy of Romney entailed was that he myopi­cal­ly bet­ted that the American econ­o­my would not show any sig­nif­i­cant signs of improve­ment and on that note Barack Obama will be boot­ed from office. There are oth­er strat­a­gems at play demo­nize Obama to the pub­lic, sup­press the Black and Latino vote and he will be guar­an­teed a vic­to­ry come November 6th.

I have no evi­dence that Mister Romney has a hand in vot­er sup­pres­sion, not yet any­way, but it seem rather clear that Republican Legislatures in many states around the coun­try seem to have a sin­gu­lar focus, to ensure that as small amount of elec­tors as pos­si­ble, show up to vote on elec­tion day. It seem also from the vot­ing rules put in place lim­it­ing vot­ing days, lim­it­ing vot­ing on the Sunday just before elec­tions, and most of all, the rigid ID require­ments, if left to stand as designed , clear­ly wants to keep Black peo­ple from the vot­ing booths on elec­tion day.

The argu­ments in sup­port of the new vot­ing laws are con­vo­lut­ed and is impos­si­ble to artic­u­late, by the archi­tects, their sup­port­ers, or even their lawyers court, as was evi­denced in the Pennsylvania high court. The con­fes­sion by the Republican Legislative Leader that vot­er ID law was designed to hand the State to Mitt Romney ‚ought to end this con­ver­sa­tion, and every law so designed should be seen for what they are, a back door repeal of the Voting Rights Act.

Romney has shown no lead­er­ship on pre­sent­ing to the elec­torate, a cohe­sive ‚detailed plan which dif­fers from that of the President. Instead he tells vot­ers to elect him even as he lies about the President’s record and words. If Romney expect­ed to attract the mea­ger sliv­er of so-called swing vot­ers , he set aside from the lazy enti­tled moochers he blast­ed at that pri­vate affair in Florida, he cer­tain­ly must do more than just say “elect me and I will do the oppo­site of what he does”.

When it became appar­ent after the Ryan pick and the less than expect­ed Convention that strat­e­gy was not enough Romney decid­ed to cri­tique the pres­i­den­t’s every word, look­ing for ” ha ha gotcha moments” that will be the game chang­er. First , he antic­i­pat­ed that the Right’s sus­pi­cion of him would be alle­vi­at­ed by his pick of Ryan, well the right may have been some­what appeased but, was it the base that Romney need­ed to shore up , or was he try­ing to grab those per­suad­ables in the middle?

Since Romney had lit­er­al­ly writ­ten off the 47%, whom he stat­ed cat­e­gor­i­cal­ly will nev­er come around to his way of think­ing, you know the lazy peo­ple who believe Government must pro­vide for them, then the mid­dle by my esti­ma­tion, would prob­a­bly be just 3% . If the oth­er 50% are Republicans, just some arith­metic, Clinton style.

The prob­lem with Mitt Romney’s strat­e­gy on Ryan is that Paul Ryan is nei­ther brave, fis­cal­ly con­ser­v­a­tive, nor a deficit hawk. Ryan vot­ed for every big gov­ern­ment pro­gram of the Bush Administration, Ryan begged for Stimulus mon­ey, even as he lam­bast­ed the Administration for admin­is­ter­ing the stim­u­lus. What that makes Paul Ryan are none of the above, but a hyp­ocrite and a fraud.

Once the National spot­light was shone on Paul Ryan, it became clear that this guy was noth­ing more than a Trojan Horse, with appeal only to the far right, a male Sarah Palin if you will, only a lit­tle smarter. Ryan’s much maligned Convention speech, and a litany of oth­er lies on the stump, quick­ly removed the thin veneer of lus­ter from Ryan, who looked to many like a shiny Golden Orb, but was quick­ly revealed to be clay with spray paint.

As we have come to expect, the etch a‑sketch can­di­date revert­ed to a more rabid attack dog strat­e­gy against the President of the United States. The trou­ble with that strat­e­gy is that it means attack­ing quick­ly, which opens him up to going on the attack with­out all the facts, or in the case of the killing of Ambassador Christopher Stephens , none of the facts.

Romney actions thus far this cam­paign, has been a dis­joint­ed oppor­tunis­tic lurch from one ill-advised strat­e­gy to anoth­er, one which rivals John McCain’s sus­pen­sion of his cam­paign dur­ing the eco­nom­ic melt­down of 2008. As I write this col­umn Mitt Romney has employed a strat­e­gy which seem to be to sit with a note pad lis­ten­ing to the pres­i­den­t’s every word then take a small seg­ment out of con­text to demagogue.

This lat­est ploy by Romney and Ryan smacks of a des­per­ate child­ish not ready for prime time oper­a­tion. The Romney Campaign solid­i­fied that impres­sion by releas­ing a sum­ma­ry of his tax returns (not the actu­al returns), yes­ter­day Friday September 21st. This trans­par­ent doc­u­ment dump, on a Friday evening , designed to stop the bleed­ing from his Boca Raton diss of the 47 %, has done noth­ing to stop the bleed­ing, but have opened up anoth­er artery bleed­ing the lifeblood from this lunatic cam­paign. November 6th will be a wel­come respite for Mitt Romney,it can­not come soon enough.

Once again Mitt Romney and his cam­paign oper­a­tives have decid­ed that the American pub­lic are total fools. Romney has donat­ed a sig­nif­i­cant amount of mon­ey which gives the appear­ance that he has paid a tax rate of 14 % , what he has­n’t done is to claim back all of those deduc­tions, which gives Mitt Romney the option to file for an adjust­ment at a lat­er date, which will see him then retriev­ing the bal­ance of those donations.

It is cer­tain­ly not ille­gal, but it is a cyn­i­cal , dis­gust­ing­ly insult­ing manip­u­la­tion of a sys­tem which is already rigged toward the very rich.

It is a peek into what a Romney Ryan Administration would look like, it is Nixonian in style,secret, cal­cu­lat­ing, dis­hon­est, disin­gen­u­ous, cyn­i­cal and duplicitous.

Americans have a stark choice on November 6th, they will have to decide whether they will once again vote against their own self-inter­est as they did in 2010. They elect­ed a Republican Congress which will go down in his­to­ry as prob­a­bly the least pro­duc­tive in the his­to­ry of this coun­try. True to form they abdi­cat­ed their respon­si­bil­i­ties and went to their respec­tive dis­tricts with­out pass­ing the Farm Bill, they did not address the issue of the Post Office, They did not want to give the pres­i­dent a leg­isla­tive win,.

That is the infan­tile nature of the Republican Party in America.

KILLING FIELDS.

The Killing of Police Officers have restarted in earnest in Jamaica. Last week retired SSP Anthony Hewitt was slaughtered, last night a young detective Corporal was gunned down close to his home in yet another attack on the fabric of the society.

In yet anoth­er assault on the Jamaican psy­che and the exis­tence of the Jamaican Nation not to be seen as a failed State Jamaica’s crim­i­nals are once again unleashed onto Law Enforcement Officers, in brazen fusil­lade of dead­ly attacks.

This Government is prob­a­bly the most incom­pe­tent this coun­try has had, this real­ly does not bode well for our coun­try, which has bounced from one incom­pe­tent Administration to another.

The top lead­er­ship of the Country is bereft of a coher­ent pol­i­cy to Governing. It came to office after just 4 years in oppo­si­tion after being in pow­er for 1812 con­tin­u­ous years.

When the PNP was removed from Office it was clear that they were exhaust­ed, out of ideas and had wrecked the coun­try immea­sur­ably. It could rea­son­ably be argued they were relieved to be out of office on the one hand, but when Jamaican pol­i­tics are con­sid­ered contextually,where polit­i­cal pow­er means raid­ing the pub­lic purse for their own ends, we would hold off on that notion.

Detective Corporal Warren Campbell

The People’s National Party was returned to pow­er with­out a plan,they were stunned when they were once again giv­en the reins of pow­er on December 29th last year. As such they did not table one sin­gle piece of Legislation in the House which would ben­e­fit the Jamaican peo­ple in 100 days, not one!

Crime is the sin­gle largest imped­i­ment to pros­per­i­ty in Jamaica. Contract killings are on the rise, just today Friday the Jamaica Daily Gleaner report­ed that the killing of Senior Superintendent Anthony Hewitt was a con­tract Killing.

We have no evi­dence beyond what that medi­um report­ed but it is com­mon knowl­edge that for a cou­ple of thou­sand Jamaican dol­lars, on any street cor­ner one may con­tract an assassin.

The killing of this young 26-year-old detec­tive is yet anoth­er, in a long line in the nar­ra­tive that Jamaica is fast becom­ing a failed state, char­ac­ter­ized by con­tract killings and wan­ton slaugh­ter even of law enforce­ment officers.

Detective Corporal Campbell was report­ed­ly shot 7 times, Anthony Hewitt was report­ed­ly shot 4 times, my expe­ri­ence in law enforce­ment tells me these are not just reg­u­lar killings. These char­ac­ter­is­tics lend them­selves to the modus operan­di of con­tract killers , or rage killings.

Jamaica was hand­ed over to crim­i­nal rights dur­ing the failed admin­is­tra­tion of Percival Patterson when our coun­try was reduced to lit­tle more than a dump heap, when most coun­tries record­ed tremen­dous growth fol­low­ing the American eco­nom­ic explosion.

Criminal sup­port­ing groups like the so-called Jamaican s for Justice has been giv­en carte-blanche in National Security and crime. Noticeably there are no com­ments com­ing from them when Police offi­cers or ordi­nary Jamaicans are killed. Their sur­ro­ga­cy have embold­ened Jamaica’s urban ter­ror­ists who now feel that they have a gov­ern­ment that is tru­ly com­mit­ted to let­ting them do as they please.

The fact of the mat­ter is that Jamaica as a coun­try ‚is still pre­tend­ing that (Jamaica nice). Everyone has an opin­ion on every­thing, there are no hard rules which must be obeyed that may not be altered by some­one in power.

The recent trans­porta­tion of an entire class of boys to the Police Station in Montego Bay over the theft of a back pack was rather reveal­ing. School offi­cials did what they could to deal with the theft with­out involv­ing the Police , with­out success.

On engag­ing the police, the offend­er revealed to offi­cers that he was respon­si­ble, the oth­er boys were turned over to their par­ents , of course, the vil­lage lawyers from top to bot­tom were out con­demn­ing school offi­cials for doing exact­ly what they ought to have done, which result­ed in the exact cor­rect result.

Is it any won­der that these young mis­fits who some­times lack parental super­vi­sion, turn out to be assas­sins, killing for a cou­ple of pennies?

That is what crim­i­nal rights and immoral pathet­ic gov­er­nance has brought on Jamaica.

KUDOS JUSTICE HIBBERT:

This Publication must high­light a Jamaican Judge who have not ced­ed his judi­cial author­i­ty on the altar of polit­i­cal or crim­i­nal rights expe­di­en­cy. We salute jus­tice Lloyd Hibbert for his prin­ci­pled stance.

Justice Hibbert handed down two life sentences to Andrew Ennis, 24, construction worker and mechanic of 44 Highland Close, St Andrew, and Passmore Millings, also called Shane Brown, music writer and carpenter of Gregory Park, St Catherine. They were each sentenced to life imprisonment and 50 years before parole for the murder of 23-year-old Jhannel Whyte, and life imprisonment and 40 years before parole for the murder of Whyte’s boyfriend, 24-year-old Taiwo McKenzie. The sentences will run concurrently so the men cannot apply for parole until after 50 years.

Whyte and McKenzie were found with their throats slashed in Mount Salus, near Smokey Vale, St Andrew, on November 9, 2007.

In handing down the sentences, Hibbert said the murders were extremely distressing. The judge said that if people on King Street, downtown Kingston, were canvassed for the appropriate sentence, he was sure 90 per cent would say the men should get the death penalty. He said although the case could attract the death penalty, he had to look at the law and apply it along the line of the famous Jamaican case of Pratt and Morgan and see if the court would act in vain in passing such a sentence.

Hibbert said he would also have to consider, if the sentence of death was passed, if it would be carried out within five years given all the appellate processes. The judge said when he looked into all the circumstances which included the social enquiry report, the community reports and the antecedent reports of the men, he had to strike a balance and forgo the death penalty.

The Privy Council had recommended in the Pratt and Morgan case that if the death sentence was not carried out within five years then the sentence should be commuted to life.

McKenzie and Whyte were kidnapped on November 7, 2007, when they went to Havendale to deliver medical supplies to George Cooper, who was hit off a motorcycle by a car driven by McKenzie. Cooper, who was the main witness for the Crown, testified that when the couple came with the medical supplies they were tied up, gagged and led into bushes by the two accused.

Cooper pleaded guilty to conspiracy to kidnap and rob the couple and is now serving an eight-year prison sentence.(http://​jamaica​-glean​er​.com/​g​l​e​a​n​e​r​/​2​0​1​2​0​9​1​8​/​l​e​a​d​/​l​e​a​d​6​.​h​tml)

In a cesspool of insane crim­i­nal sup­port from all sides to include the Judiciary, we are com­pelled to com­mend Justice Hibbert.

I am a con­stant crit­ic of Jamaica’s Judicial sys­tem for its lib­er­al almost insane deci­sions on the issues of Bail and sen­tenc­ing of Jamaica’s deranged accused and con­vict­ed crim­i­nals. I am con­ver­sant that the laws are archa­ic, out­dat­ed and in most cas­es inef­fec­tive both as deter­rent or punitively.

Despite the afore­men­tioned, many Judges go our of their way to release crim­i­nals back onto the streets after they have been arrest­ed and charged with heinous mur­ders ‚some­times over and over and over again.

This has made the deci­sion of Justice Hibbert more and more deserv­ing of praise as he not only put the two scum-bags away for life with­out the pos­si­bil­i­ty of parole before they have spent 50 years in prison.

Justice Hibbert cal­cu­lat­ed that under Pratt Morgan it would be pos­si­ble that giv­en the death sen­tence , with Jamaica’s crim­i­nal lov­ing laws and soci­ety, these two degen­er­ates would not be exe­cut­ed with­in the 5 year time span dic­tat­ed by the UK Privy Council.

Given that sce­nario the two low lives would pos­si­bly be out of Jail in a few years.

I applaud Justice Hibbert on this com­mon sense heads up approach,this kind of Judicial con­sci­en­tious­ness is rather rare in Jamaica.

I hope these two degen­er­ates gets the ulti­mate jus­tice while in prison , from their own kind.

R.I.P TONY HEWITT

The killing of Retired Senior Superintendent of Police Anthony Hewitt once again brings to the fore the critical nature of Jamaica’s crime cancer.

:I served under Anthony Hewitt when he was the offi­cer in charge of crime at the Police Area five, Head-Quartered at Constant Spring. Tony Hewitt as he was referred to by all, was then a Deputy Superintendent of Police. I did not get day-to-day instruc­tions or guid­ance from Mister Hewitt, but we were pret­ty much all extreme­ly com­fort­able with such a com­pe­tent Senior Officer at the head of the (CIB) Criminal Investigation Branch.

:Tony Hewitt

We did not agree all of the time, one thing was cer­tain though, I respect­ed the hell out of Tony Hewitt. Hewitt exem­pli­fied him­self as a Cop who did a lot of heavy lift­ing before my time. I respect­ed that and he respect­ed Cops like myself who endeav­ored to con­tin­ue to uphold the law regard­less of the offend­er. He rec­i­p­ro­cat­ed that respect to me as a young Detective who took the job seri­ous­ly and did it to the best of my abilities.

I remem­ber Tony Hewitt call­ing me into his lit­tle office in a wood­en struc­ture that once housed the Superintendent Office, he was intrigued that I was able to get good intel­li­gence from the streets, some­thing he prid­ed him­self in and built a car­rear on.

Mister Hewitt told me con­se­quent­ly” come to my office at the start of every month and I will give you some­thing to keep your infor­mants happy”.

:Every month after that Mister Hewitt would hand me an enve­lope with Twenty Dollars, this was called (impress) a small gov­ern­ment allo­ca­tion to detec­tives to cul­ti­vate and main­tain sources of information.

Senior Superintendent Hewitt went on to work for the Firearm licenc­ing Authority . Tony Hewitt would have been a stand­out at that Agency as he had been through his long and dis­tin­guished car­rear in the Jamaica Constabulary Force.

As we await the out­come of the inves­ti­ga­tions, I implore the Security Forces to bring swift jus­tice to the despi­ca­ble scum/​s who so cal­lous­ly end­ed his life.

Those who knew Tony Hewitt either loved or hat­ed him, Those com­mit­ted to a life of crime would hate him, one thing was cer­tain he was a man of the peo­ple, men and women alike came to see him at his office , many came to see him from far and near, Tony Hewitt showed that a Cops do not have to have Doctorates to be effi­cient or productive.

No oth­er Cop in Jamaica has been more effective.

Rest in peace mis­ter Hewitt.

CAN WE ALL GET ALONG?

Practitioners of Islam do not see their Religious Book the Koran, or their Prophet Mohammed the same way Christians see the Bible and Jesus Christ, as such it is difficult for Christians to comprehend the burgeoning wave of anger and violence that allegations of disrespect directed at the Islamic prophet Mohammed has generated once again.

It is a very dif­fi­cult sub­ject for all of us, Christians and Muslims alike , on the one hand, we desire that all humans would be respect­ful of the reli­gious choic­es of oth­ers, yet on the oth­er it can­not be that those who feel dis­re­spect­ed, use vio­lence and mur­der as a rem­e­dy to any such per­cep­tion of dis­re­spect, real or perceived.

Some Muslims do not respect the Bible, some Muslims destroy Bibles, some Christians dis­re­spect the Koran, some Christians destroy the Koran. Some Muslims deface and destroy edi­fices with which they disagree.

Is it legit­i­mate then for non-Muslims to react they way some Muslims react under sim­i­lar cir­cum­stances when the shoe is on the oth­er foot ?

The truth is there are idi­ot­ic peo­ple who pro­fess to be Christians, Muslims and all oth­er Religions, they are with­in the ranks of Agnostics and Atheists too.

The ques­tion we must ask is sim­ply this “As reli­gious peo­ple, is it the right thing to do when we kill oth­ers all because our sen­si­bil­i­ties are offended”?

As occu­pants of this ever shrink­ing Planet we must avail our­selves to the real­i­ty that we all have to live here, as such it must be of para­mount impor­tance that all of us, irre­spec­tive of our dif­fer­ences , find the ties which bind us rather than strain the dif­fer­ences which divide us.

It can­not be that ever time some idiot with an Axe to grind have some­thing stu­pid to say, irre­spec­tive of how offen­sive it is, that the response is the killing of oth­ers and the destruc­tion of property.

If Islamic Countries can­not or will not guar­an­tee the safe­ty of American Nationals liv­ing and, or work­ing in their coun­tries, why should they expect that their pro­fes­sion­als and oth­ers doing the same in America and oth­er Western Nations be protested?

There are more than enough bone-head­ed Racists liv­ing in Western Nations includ­ing the US to make trou­ble for all of us, but equal­ly, the Neanderthal mobs who kill, maim and destroy in the name of Allah, cer­tain­ly do not occu­py a supe­ri­or moral perch.

Irrespective of pre­vi­ous teach­ings Muslims Must devel­op a greater tol­er­ance to views opposed to theirs, the penal­ty for dis­sen­sion can­not be death.

The reac­tion to the stu­pid ‚unin­formed opin­ions of a few agent provo­ca­teurs, can nev­er be jus­ti­fied with the shed­ding of the blood of the innocent.

I am not a stu­dent of Mohammed, I am how­ev­er inclined to believe he would be opposed to this course of action.

Netanyahu Blatant Play For War With Iran On American Dime.

As the United States gears up for another Presidential Election, we are once again exposed to just how nasty and undignified those who seek political power can be.

The Republican par­ty oper­a­tives who refer to them­selves as Conservatives have long adopt­ed the pos­ture of the Daddy Party, they took on the mantra of pro­tec­tor of American val­ues and ideals, they pro­mul­gat­ed that farce to the extent that Democrats retreat­ed and did not con­test even the premise of that fraud­u­lent notion

Democrats resigned them­selves to being the Mommy par­ty, look­ing out for the poor and dis­ad­van­taged in the areas of Civil Rights in the 60’s and 70″,fighting to ensure that Government gave a hand up to those in need or down on their luck, they labored to pro­vide Health Care with­out suc­cess until the emer­gence of Barack Obama.

Republicans were con­tent to wrap them­selves in the American Flag and wage wars, to the detri­ment of the country.

The prob­lem with the posi­tion of Republicans is that their very premise was a farce, they are and always were Conservatives only when Democrats had the reins of Government.

Ronald Reagan the name that gets bandied about as the holy grail of mod­ern Republican Conservatism, yet Reagan raised tax­es, ran deficits , start­ed a war, and did every­thing Republicans rail against today. Ronald Reagan would have been ran out of the Tea Party dom­i­nat­ed repub­li­can par­ty of today, much the same way they are chas­ing out Olympia Snowe, they got rid of Arlen Spectre, and tried to run Dick Lugar and oth­ers out.

The Republican Party of Colin Powell and Chuck Hagel does not exist any­more, it is pop­u­lat­ed by the likes of John Bolton , Rudolph Giuliani , Dick Cheyney, Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck, Sarah Palin, Michelle Malkin,Sean Hannity and oth­ers of that ilk, gen­er­al­ly the rabid dogs of racial hatred.

I mean, you can­not make this up , how can one polit­i­cal par­ty have so many intel­lec­tu­al­ly bank­rupt indi­vid­u­als, where do all of these retards come from? Why are they all lumped into that par­ty which is now a cesspool of lies and racial hatred, ?

They have latched on to a demo­graph­ic with­in this coun­try who wax nos­tal­gic about the past when peo­ple not like them were not con­sid­ered peo­ple. Not all of them are white ‚some are inbred self hat­ing mon­grels, how­ev­er all of them are dis­eased, rabid charlatans.

This is the par­ty Mitt Romney now leads, a par­ty which has lurched vio­lent­ly to the right, a par­ty which must pose grave con­cerns for all those who love this coun­try, Independents and intel­lec­tu­als . Everyone so mind­ed must be con­cerned for this democ­ra­cy if this is the path this par­ty of Lincoln is going to con­tin­ue on.

The American racial make­up is chang­ing and it is chang­ing to brown,not white, the poli­cies and utter­ances of the repub­li­can par­ty func­tionar­ies are syn­ony­mous to a wound­ed ani­mal being hunt­ed in a habi­tat being destroyed around it daily.

It risks being a Southern Party of fear­ful white men who long for the days when they had total con­trol of every­one and everything.

Many elect­ed offi­cials in the repub­li­can par­ty has more alle­giance to the State of Israel than they do to the United States, at least while Barack Obama is president.

They gave Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a stand­ing ova­tion in the US House of Representatives after he over­stepped his bounds and got cheeky with the pres­i­dent of the United States in the White House.President Obama should have ordered him out on that instance but he didn’t.

Republican Candidate for President, Mitt Romney and Netanyahu worked togeth­er and are great friends, it is no won­der that Netanyahu has inject­ed him­self in a most brazen and dis­re­spect­ful way in the American elec­tions on behalf of Mitt Romney.

Netanyahu is a bul­ly who believes that the only opin­ion that mat­ters is his opin­ion, he also knows the Mitt Romney is an emp­ty suit whom he can manip­u­late to do his dirty work.

Benjamin Netanyahu knows that pres­i­dent Obama will not be manip­u­lat­ed into anoth­er war, much less a war on Israels’s behalf. Netanyahu wants a war with Iran, he knows he has less than two months lever­age with pres­i­dent Obama, either way that lever­age is out the door after the American elections.

Netanyahu lashed out at the American pres­i­dent for not estab­lish­ing clear red lines for Iran, the truth is the Israeli leader wants Obama to make threats which will inevitable force him to take mil­i­tary action against the Iranian people.

President Obama has estab­lished that he will not be drawn into a war that the American peo­ple have no appetite for, and damn sure will not start a war because Benjamin Netanyahu says so.

I have always won­dered what was the source of the influ­ence Israel has on the United States, sep­a­rate and apart from the talk­ing points of our” our great­est ally in the mid­dle east”?

How can 7. 7 million people have such control over 308 million ?

Our tax dollars are commandeered and sent to Israel, they have nuclear weapons yet no other country are allowed to have them outside the major players , the United States, England, France, Russia, China, India, and Pakistan.

Benjamin Netanyahu wants to force President Obama into a war which they will then condemn him for later.

Disgraceful And Desperate

On the event of the 11th year of the Anniversary of the heinous slaughter of thousands of innocent Americans on September 11th 2001, Americans are once again grieving the cowardly murder of US Ambassador Christopher Stephens and three others in the Embassy compound in Benghazi Libya.

For American and Americans this is lit­er­al­ly like the scab being torn off a wound that has­n’t healed. We are remind­ed that we live in an increas­ing­ly dan­ger­ous and unpre­dictable world. Americans of all stripes, every polit­i­cal per­sua­sion, cor­rect­ly stood with President George W Bush as he raised that bull-horn and told the world that those who tore down the Twin Towers would soon hear from all of us, and they did.

Ambassador Christopher Stephens President George Bush and a first responder.

Last night even before the facts were out regard­ing what had tru­ly tran­spired, even before the present Republican Candidate for President Mitt Romney even knew that Ambassador Christopher Stephens was killed, Romney and his cam­paign released a state­ment crit­i­ciz­ing the Administration for apol­o­giz­ing for America, even with­out a grasp of what was tran­spir­ing on the ground in what was still a very flu­id situation.

This move by Mitt Romney was prob­a­bly the worst thing that he could have done in a long line of craven rapa­cious mis­steps, which have char­ac­ter­ized this unfor­tu­nate excuse of a pres­i­den­tial cam­paign and more so the pathet­ic can­di­date that par­ty has nom­i­nat­ed to lead this great country.

http://​legalin​sur​rec​tion​.com/​2​0​1​2​/​0​9​/​r​e​m​a​i​n​-​c​a​l​m​-​a​l​l​-​i​s​-​w​e​l​l​-​i​n​-​e​g​y​p​t​-​a​l​l​-​i​s​-​w​e​ll/

This is the state­ment issued by the US Embassy in Cairo Egypt, as the sit­u­a­tion unfold­ed, in an attempt to head off a poten­tial firestorm of vio­lence all across the Arab World and pos­si­bly min­i­mize or elim­i­nate any loss of life. The Embassy staff was cor­rect in issu­ing that com­mu­nique as that com­pound was also attacked the American Flag ripped down and shred­ded and replaced by a black Islamist Flag.

The American Embassy in Cairo issued that state­ment to defuse a sit­u­a­tion which may have saved many lives includ­ing their own, that did not pre­vent Mitt Romney from blast­ing them and the Obama Administration,accusing the Embassy staff of grave impro­pri­ety in mak­ing the statement,even as they faced attacks in a for­eign country.

This attack on the US Embassy staff, even as they faced dan­ger and were still in arms way, has got to be the straw which breaks the Camel’s back for this imposter called Mitt Romney.

This fraud­ster has demon­strat­ed that he will do and say any­thing, to tear down Barack Obama, irre­spec­tive of the cost.

The American peo­ple have a choice to make, this guy who hides his mon­ey in for­eign coun­tries and berates this coun­try’s hard-work­ing for­eign ser­vice offi­cers , has dis­qual­i­fied him­self from being tak­en seri­ous­ly, and must be seen as the dan­ger­ous per­son he real­ly is.

This is effec­tive­ly the most glar­ing and defin­i­tive exam­ple for the American peo­ple as to who Mitt Romney is, he is inher­ent­ly unqual­i­fied to be pres­i­dent. Mitt Romney“s tem­pera­men­tal oppor­tunis­tic and self-serv­ing state­ments are the most reveal­ing to date that he will do any­thing , say any­thing to gain the pres­i­den­cy. This makes Mitt Romney a dan­ger­ous per­son, who should nev­er be giv­en that power.

The flare up in Cairo and Libya are sup­pos­ed­ly over a lit­tle viewed web video sup­pos­ed­ly by a Florida Pastor, who is even less known. which is alleged to have insult­ed Mohammed the Prophet.

This Pastor, it is report­ed was the same per­son who threat­ened to burn the Koran some time aback , and to the best of my rec­ol­lec­tion even­tu­al­ly did so.

However there is no jus­ti­fi­ca­tion for what hap­pened either in Libya, or in Egypt, the notion that dis­re­spect­ing some­one long dead, or even some­one alive, is cause to kill inno­cent peo­ple, is beyond out­ra­geous. It is time for the entire world and peo­ple of all reli­gious belief includ­ing Muslims, to say to Islamic fun­da­men­tal­ists that this will not be tol­er­at­ed. This kind of behav­ior will not stand in the name of God, period.

Mitt Romney dou­bled down on his mis­take September 12th, he had nowhere to go he had paint­ed him­self into a cor­ner , Mitt Romney want­ed to take some of the shine off the pris­tine Foreign Policy Credentials of Barack Obama, he may have lost the General elec­tions on this day.

A TRAGEDYSAW COMING.

I haven’t written a blog on any issue in Jamaica recently.Truthfully I am simply exasperated at times, at some of the things which occur and the responses of the leadership and the people to them.

The recent killing of a preg­nant woman and the shoot­ing of anoth­er in a sin­gle inci­dent involv­ing the Police, in Yallhas St. Thomas are trag­ic indeed, any loss of life is a tragedy and must be seen as such, news reports as usu­al, detail the sequence of events com­pre­hen­sive­ly from one per­spec­tive, that of so-called eye­wit­ness­es at the scene.

The deceased woman is nev­er going to be able to tell her sto­ry, so we will have to rely on the accounts of the offi­cer and the injured woman. As is to be expect­ed the Police Officer is guilty of a crime in the minds of every­one except maybe some of his colleagues.

I have pro­vid­ed a link for you , this was indeed a tragedy, how­ev­er:http://​jamaica​-glean​er​.com/​g​l​e​a​n​e​r​/​2​0​1​2​0​9​0​4​/​l​e​a​d​/​l​e​a​d​6​.​h​tml

Fifty-three-year-old Naomi McCloud, mother of pregnant 27-year-old Kay-Ann Lamont who was controversially killed by a policeman on Saturday in Yallahs Square, St Thomas. - Rudolph Brown/PhotographerGleaner pho­to:

As I have said in many blogs over the last 21 years since I left law enforce­ment, if we would just stop resist­ing arrest, stop fight­ing with police, even if we believe we are being arrest­ed unlaw­ful­ly we should nev­er fight an officer.

On the oth­er hand there must have been anoth­er way for the offi­cer to deal with the offend­er, and yes she was an offend­er, oth­er offi­cers stand­ing around should be fired in the pub­lic’s inter­est, they should have stepped in and com­plet­ed the arrest, help­ing the oth­er offi­cer which would have pre­vent­ed all of this from happening.

Jamaican Cops work under tremen­dous stress, they have no sup­port from the peo­ple, nei­ther do they have sup­port from Government, many of whose mem­bers are crim­i­nals themselves.

Based on the fact that the woman was in an advanced stage of preg­nan­cy and there are no reports of weapons, there can be no jus­ti­fi­ca­tion for the use of lethal force on the part of the officer.

This does not absolve any­one , includ­ing the deceased and her sis­ters from obey­ing the laws. All of the hue and cry may be legit­i­mate, how­ev­er the offi­cer was enforc­ing the law.

If we do not agree with a law or we believe that cer­tain laws have become obso­lete or archa­ic we must lob­by our polit­i­cal rep­re­sen­ta­tives to have them removed. Fighting police Officers who enforce them are counter pro­duc­tive and down­right dangerous.

There are no legit­i­mate rea­sons for any­one fight­ing a police officer,much less being involved in a ker­fuf­fle which sees the offi­cer being thrown to the ground.

What was the tip­ping point which saw the offi­cer mak­ing that fate­ful deci­sion of life and death?

Having said that, the real tragedy here, at least from this van­tage point, is that the oth­er Officers did not inter­vene to effect this arrest, or to walk that woman away force­ful­ly so that she would not end up fight­ing an offi­cer which result­ed in her death.

As a peo­ple we are pre­dis­posed to attack­ing the mes­sen­ger, we spend a tremen­dous amount of time tear­ing down those among us who have diver­gent views from those we share or sup­port. We go out of our way to demean opin­ions we are not in agree­ment with rather than try to learn from them.

Also in the Jamaican news is a state­ment attrib­uted to Robert Mugabe President of Zimbabwe: In that arti­cle Mugabe is report­ed to have charged men in his coun­try to shun the influ­ence of Jamaican men as they are drunk­en, mar­i­jua­na smok­ers: quote:“Mugabe brand­ed Jamaica as “a coun­try of mar­i­jua­na smok­ers, where women are now tak­ing charge since men are always sloshed (drunk),” while also stat­ing, “In Jamaica, they have free­dom to smoke mban­je, varume vanog­a­ra vakad­hak­wa (men are always drunk) and uni­ver­si­ties are full of women…The men want to sing and do not go to col­leges vamwe vanob­va vamon­wa musoro (some are dread­locked). Let us not go there.“http://​www​.exam​in​er​.com/​a​r​t​i​c​l​e​/​j​a​m​a​i​c​a​n​-​r​e​g​g​a​e​-​a​r​t​i​s​t​e​s​-​p​o​l​i​t​i​c​i​a​n​s​-​i​r​k​e​d​-​b​y​-​m​u​g​a​b​e​-​s​-​s​t​a​t​e​m​ent

Prominent Reggae artiste, Sizzla Kalonji insists that while believe Robert Mugabe's comments were out of place, he was not insulted by the Zimbabwean president'sassertions about his island.Examiner pho­to:

Whether we like what Mugabe said,yes or no, it serves no use­ful pur­pose to den­i­grate, or demo­nize him, it will be a dif­fi­cult case to make against mis­ter Mugabe any­way, Jamaica once bestowed a nation­al hon­or on him.

Two lessons here, be more care­ful who you give National Honors to , and rather than demo­nize mis­ter Mugabe, it behooves all Jamaican men to do some seri­ous intro­spec­tion, there are a lot of truths in his statements.

We don’t have to like the mes­sen­ger to appre­ci­ate the message.

TRUTH AND CHARACTER MATTERS:

Romney Ryan
Romney Ryan

Throw all the stuff you can muster against the wall, see what sticks, never mind that some of that Stuff may actually come back at you because it was yours to begin with.

Mitt Romney’s cam­paign has been about one thing, “the econ­o­my”. This strat­e­gy has been at the heart of his cam­paign ever since he start­ed run­ning six years ago.

This strat­e­gy was con­sum­mat­ed at the con­ven­tion when Mitt Romney said quote: President Obama wants to slow the rise of the Oceans , he wants to heal the world, I just want to help you and your family”.

What that state­ment showed was the absolute cyn­i­cism with which Romney views peo­ple who do not have ele­va­tors for their cars, or don’t have cars at all. Throughout this nev­er-end­ing cam­paign every pub­li­ca­tion every objec­tive medi­um has point­ed to the litany of lies that per­me­ates the Romney/​Ryan cam­paign. Never before have we seen a Presidential Campaign this truth averse.

Presidential Campaigns have always stretched the truth, as observers to these spec­ta­cles we were always mind­ful that baked into the infor­ma­tion they pum­mel us with is a cer­tain ele­ment of dis­tor­tion. With that said we were always able to come to an under­stand­ing that when one politi­cian say some­thing is 6 and the oth­er says its 4 we know it’s prob­a­bly a 5.

All of that is now out the door, the Romney Ryan Campaign has decid­ed that it is so imper­a­tive to beat Barack Obama, that they are going to do what­ev­er it takes to defeat him.

This strat­e­gy though not the worst strat­e­gy ever, con­sid­er­ing they could have used vio­lence, has cre­at­ed great con­ster­na­tion in some of us to whom the truth matters.

My Grand Dad always taught me that you may hide your prop­er­ty effec­tive­ly from a thief but you can nev­er hide from a liar. A liar does­n’t have to see you to tell a lie on you. This Biblical teach­ing from my grand dad had a pro­found effect on me, to this day it is one of my great­est pet peeve, I can­not stand liars.

IF YOU THOUGH THAT LIES DISTORTIONS AND MISINFORMATION WERE ALL ROMNEY AND RYAN WERE CAPABLE OF YOU ARE MISTAKEN.

September 11th. 2012 both cam­paigns agreed to sus­pend cam­paign­ing, this was respect­ful and the least they could do in hon­or of those who were tak­en from us ‚and those who gave their limbs and lives after, in an effort to bring jus­tice to the per­pe­tra­tors of that hor­ri­ble event that will be for­ev­er seared in our minds.

One would have thought, that at least on this day, on the solemn anniver­sary of this event, that Mitt Romney would show some char­ac­ter, it would have been fit­ting if Mitt Romney could under­stand that when you give your word it should mean some­thing. Over the course of this cam­paign we have been tru­ly intro­duced to Willard Mitt Romney and what we have seen is that this man(used lib­er­al­ly) has no stan­dard, no char­ac­ter, we have been exposed to a man who will pret­ty much say and do any­thing to get elect­ed, char­ac­ter and dig­ni­ty be damned.

Paul Ryan has now mor­phed into a mini Romney of sorts since join­ing the ticket,many argue that Ryan have prob­a­bly been dam­aged by Romney, pos­si­bly irrepara­bly because of the lies. I dis­agree, I believe that Ryan lacked char­ac­ter from the get go , hence ‚his and Romney’s mar­riage is one made in hell, no one lies that fre­quent­ly , and for no rea­son unless he or she is pathological.

Mitt Romney did not hon­or his word he went to Nevada to address National Guard con­tin­gent and he gave a clas­sic cam­paign speech which was in many regards dis­re­spect­ful to our president.

No mat­ter how you feel about for­mer pres­i­dent George Bush, he was a man of char­ac­ter, you may have hat­ed his pol­i­tics, but you had to agree that pres­i­dent Bush was a man of class, Mitt Romney is like a com­mon alley-cat.

Judge for your­self if this guy is qual­i­fied to be pres­i­dent, he is cer­tain­ly the worst can­di­date for pres­i­dent I have ever seen and cer­tain­ly the most class­less.http://www.c‑span.org/Campaign2012/Events/Mitt-Romney-at-Natl-Guard-Association/10737433977 – 1/

We take this oppor­tu­ni­ty to salute all the fam­i­lies of all those who died on September 11th. We also salute the mem­bers of America’s intel­li­gence, law enforce­ment, and mil­i­tary com­mu­ni­ty all of whom have worked tire­less­ly to make America safer.

Kudos to for­mer President George Bush for some of the poli­cies he pur­sued to keep all of us assured dur­ing those dif­fi­cult days.

Kudos to President Barack Obama for his vig­i­lance for his stead­fast fideli­ty to his stat­ed objec­tives in this so-called war on ter­ror and the accom­plish­ments he attained that no wannabe pres­i­dent or any­one else can take from him or his legacy.

JUST HOW STUPID DO THEY THINK YOU ARE ?

If orga­ni­za­tion, stage-craft, ener­gy and effects were votes, pres­i­dent Obama would have been assured a sec­ond term.

We were treat­ed to a busi­ness meet­ing in Tampa, where it seemed the work­ers were forced to turn out to hear the boss talk about him­self. Delegates it seemed would all rather be some-place else. The gloom-and-doom fest was appro­pri­ate­ly summed up by their school-yard bul­ly of a keynote speak­er, Chris Christie, who lament­ed the lack of enthu­si­asm in their con­ven­tion. The Democrats by con­trast, showed repub­li­cans what diver­si­ty was, they showed them what America real­ly looked like. Democrats did not need to place indige­nous peo­ple in the front of the Arena to cre­ate a false impres­sion of diver­si­ty, the Democratic Party is diver­si­ty, it is America.

There was no hatred direct­ed at Romney or Ryan, Democrats cri­tiqued Mitt Romney, and Paul Ryan and they lam­pooned them for their fail­ings, lies and flip-flops, no one hates Mitt Romney, no one hates Paul Ryan, even though They have proven them­selves to be patho­log­i­cal liars. Republicans on the oth­er hand were most­ly there because of their hatred for Barack Obama. From the Chairman of their Party who refus­es to acknowl­edge that President Obama is the pres­i­dent, to the new leader of the Party Mitt Romney, who con­tin­ues to run despi­ca­ble racist, lying wel­fare Ads against the pres­i­dent, they have lit­tle to talk about except about how bad Obama is, which of course they have told them­selves untill now they believe it.

Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are bet­ting on one thing only, that a slug­gish econ­o­my will pro­pel them into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.The choice for vot­ers could not be clear­er, and the stakes could not be high­er. Not always do we get the oppor­tu­ni­ty to see train wreck before it hap­pens. In 2010 vot­ers reward­ed the Republican Party with sweep­ing vic­to­ries in the United States House of Representatives, tak­ing the gav­el from Nancy Pelosi and hand­ed it to John Boehner. Some argued that appro­pri­ate­ly so, as Democrats had argued amongst them­selves instead of pass­ing the agen­da the vot­ers sent them to enact.

There is a lot of legit­i­ma­cy to that argu­ment, how­ev­er I am not sure that many who vot­ed against the Democrats were all Republicans, some were Independents and some were Democrats. But did the vot­ers real­ly know what they were get­ting into, did they under­stand that behind what appeared to be a legit­i­mate grass-root move­ment were sin­is­ter big angry mon­ey at play? Did they tru­ly appre­ci­ate the mag­ni­tude of their vote when they elect­ed a fresh­man class of far right-wing zealots that would take the Republican Party so far to the right Ronald Reagan would not be wel­come in it.

WHAT IS THE REASON , AND WHAT IS THE VISION MITT ROMNEY HAS FOR WANTING TO LEAD AMERICA?

Question :What does Romney want for America oth­er than his desire to be president?

Mitt Romney has no stat­ed goal or ambi­tion to lift the morale of the coun­try, beyond his and his wife’s claim that it’s their time now.

Question: What is Romney’s plan for the troops in Afghanistan?

Since Romney did not men­tion them at the repub­li­can con­ven­tion, (unheard of before) we are forced to con­clude that he has no clue what he should say,as the neo-cons have not yet devel­oped a strat­e­gy that is any dif­fer­ent from Obama’s so Romney remained silent. Take into account that Romney has noth­ing to say for his can­di­da­cy, oth­er than cri­tique what pres­i­dent Obama does.

Question: What is Romney’s plan for our del­i­cate eco sys­tem and our environment?

If we are to believe Mitt Romney, quote: President Obama says he wants to slow the rise of the oceans, and heal the world , I want to help you and your fam­i­ly>(to laugh­ter), clear­ly he does­n’t under­stand the pow­er of the pres­i­den­cy nei­ther does he under­stand the dan­gers of cli­mate change. Either way we are screwed because Romney will do noth­ing. What we do know, is that Romney once embraced Global Warming as some­thing humans have con­tributed to.

Romney can­not now embrace glob­al warm­ing, cli­mate change or the stew­ard­ship of our del­i­cate planet,big mon­ey cor­po­rate oil indus­tri­al barons will not allow it.

Question: What is Romney’s for­eign policy?

Mitt Romney has no for­eign pol­i­cy strat­e­gy ‚except what the neo-cons on the right fringe wants. That pol­i­cy in a nut­shell is anoth­er war of choice, this time with Iran. They have already start­ed the drum-beat toward that end. What’s wor­thy of note, is that they have not shown them­selves yet of course, with the excep­tion of Don Señor, the likes of John Bolton, for­mer US ambas­sador to the United Nation under Bush, and the oth­er war mon­gers have pret­ty much stayed in the shad­ows , wait­ing to see how the elec­tions turn out. Make no mis­take about it they are primed and ready, this time for a war of choice with Iran, under the guise that Iran is about to set off a mush­room cloud.

According to Romney, Russia is America’s great­est geo-polit­i­cal foe. Conversely, accord­ing to for­mer Secretary of State Madeline Albright ‚when asked whether this was so , she said ‚quote: “Romney is still liv­ing in the 20th cen­tu­ry”,either Mitt Romney is still liv­ing in the 20th cen­tu­ry or he is wil­ful­ly stir­ring up trou­ble at the insis­tence of the neo-cons, as part of a larg­er strat­e­gy to fight a proxy war with Iran.

Question: What is Romney’s strat­e­gy to deal with the poor and dispossessed?

Well, we are all aware of mis­ter Romney’s state­ment of not being wor­ried about the poor,I will not accuse him of what the democ­rats did in those AD’s, I do not believe he was say­ing he did­n’t care about the poor. With that said, what he actu­al­ly meant was even worse.

What Romney said was quote:“I’m not wor­ried about the poor,they have a safe­ty net if it’s bro­ken I will fix it”

Coming from a pres­i­den­tial can­di­date, that is an even more atro­cious state­ment, than the con­text in which the democ­rats attempt­ed to cast it. The repub­li­can can­di­date for pres­i­dent sim­ply con­firmed to the world that he was com­fort­able with peo­ple being poor and depen­dent, and has affirmed that he would do what it took to keep them in their state of pover­ty, not cre­ate ways to lift them into the mid­dle class.

Question: What is Romney’s strat­e­gy for the economy?

As the pres­i­dent said tax cuts for the wealthy, stick it to every­one else ! As for­mer Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm said at the con­ven­tion, if it was up to Mitt Romney he would give the cars to his rich friends and give the shaft to the people.

It is shock­ing the way repub­li­cans hold vot­ers in con­tempt, old relics like Newt Gingrich who allud­ed to the fact that Mitt Romney is a patho­log­i­cal liar dur­ing the pri­maries, now nev­er miss­es an oppor­tu­ni­ty to pros­ti­tute him­self polit­i­cal­ly, for the same per­son he acknowl­edges is a sor­ry liar.

Racial poloriz­er Newt Gingrich is the pro­to­type of exact­ly whats wrong with America. Gingrich was one of the archi­tects of that infa­mous meet­ing which took place in Washington DC , that his­toric night Barack Obama was being sworn as a America’s 44 th President. At that meet­ing which includ­ed Gingrich and Vice Presidential Candidate Paul Ryan and Eric Cantor, repub­li­cans were not dis­cussing how to help the new pres­i­dent save the cra­ter­ing US econ­o­my. They were trea­so­nous in plot­ting how to thwart the will of the American vot­ers who had just unan­i­mous­ly elect­ed the pres­i­dent of their choice and they were doing it as a way back to polit­i­cal power.

Gingrich like Romney/​Ryan have sys­tem­at­i­cal­ly tried to dri­ve a wedge between pres­i­dent Obama and for­mer pres­i­dent Clinton, they have gone to great lengths to paint Clinton as the real demo­c­rat and Obama as the wild-eyed lib­er­al Klingon[sic].

Gingrich said Sunday September 9th on CNN in a con­ver­sa­tion with Candy Crowley, quote on one hand you have a real pres­i­dent, (ref­er­enc­ing Clinton,) and on the oth­er you have anoth­er guy who is a pretender”.

Obviously this old washed up tub of lard did not spend his time judi­cious­ly lis­ten­ing to the pres­i­den­t’s speech,or he cer­tain­ly would have heard the pres­i­dent say “I am the President” he may have missed that part on one of his many trips to the refrigerator.

Crowley did not rebut, of course this was not sur­pris­ing to me , the lame stream media is pop­u­lat­ed large­ly with repub­li­can oper­a­tives parad­ing as real jour­nal­ists, many secret­ly have spous­es work­ing with­in the repub­li­can estab­lish­ment as well as the Romney Campaign.

People with short mem­o­ry will for­get that it was Gingrich who shut down the coun­try twice because Clinton did not let him ride in the front of Air Force One , or some child­ish incon­se­quen­tial thing like that. They would have for­got­ten that it was Gingrich who impeached Clinton, it was Gingrich who cre­at­ed Ken Starr the dogged repub­li­can oper­a­tive who parad­ed as a spe­cial pros­e­cu­tor wast­ing tens of mil­lions of tax pay­ers dol­lars but pro­duced noth­ing to show for it.

They would have for­got­ten that it was Gingrich and his repub­li­can cronies who did not sup­port a sin­gle part of Clinton’s agen­da, except wel­fare, which they lat­er dis­cov­ered was large­ly being exploit­ed and abused by whites, not blacks as they had pre­vi­ous­ly conned some low infor­ma­tion con­stituents into believing.

Republicans did not mince words when they told Obama’s vice pres­i­dent Joe Biden, that they would not help with gov­ern­ing, they were not going to coöper­ate, even with Joe Biden who had been in the Senate for decades, they were pre­pared to take Joe Biden down in their hatred for Barack Obama. Never mind that Obama had not yet imple­ment­ed a sin­gle policy.

It was race.

How hyp­o­crit­i­cal of these lying degen­er­ates, to now sug­gest that Barack Obama has not tried to work with them, when their stat­ed goal was for him to fail, we have it as part of his­tor­i­cal record from their inspi­ra­tional and intel­lec­tu­al leader Rush Limbaugh, we have it as a mat­ter of record from their leader in the Senate. Many Liberals desert­ed Obama because they felt he was mak­ing too many over­tures to republicans.

Republicans ran away from pol­i­cy posi­tions they embraced, poli­cies they pro­posed, poli­cies which came out of the right-wing Heritage Foundation, sim­ply because Obama adopt­ed those poli­cies. Mitt Romney now runs away from Romney-care, the blue-print for Obama ‑care, sim­ply because Obama embraced it.

So what we have is a mov­ing of the goal-post, a con­tin­u­ous slap­ping away of the hand, as Deval Patrick said “Democrats must now stand up for what they believe in”, they must now stand up and push back hard against this misog­y­nis­tic wave of right-wing reac­tionary garbage, and show what this pres­i­dent and this par­ty has done for this coun­try, cow­er­ing in fear no more, as these unpa­tri­ot­ic spe­cial inter­est tools wrap them­selves in the American Flag ‚while at the same time wish­ing for the coun­try’s demise, as a way back to polit­i­cal power.

What pious baloney com­ing from the mouth of Mitt Romney,” I wish pres­i­dent Obama had suc­ceed­ed” I have news for you Mitt Romney, the pres­i­dent have suc­ceed­ed, despite your friends and sur­ro­gates rabid obstructionism.

Ask your­selves this ques­tion, “what was the basis for this bel­li­cose posi­tion toward the new pres­i­dent who had not yet insti­tut­ed a sin­gle policy”?

I’ll tell you what the basis was,“RACE”.

Republicans want you to believe the world start­ed the day Barack Obama took the oath of office, they take every oppor­tu­ni­ty to point out what they want you to believe is wrong with the coun­try, the econ­o­my, and the Obama Administration.

Absent their argu­ments, are any acknowl­edge­ments that it was under their watch ‚just four years ago, that this coun­try’s econ­o­my was destroyed, the econ­o­my cratered and kept falling even as the new pres­i­dent was being sworn into office, today the econ­o­my has been sta­bi­lized, over four mil­lion new jobs have been cre­at­ed over the last 4 years under Obama.

As Bill Clinton allud­ed, repub­li­cans want to tell you the pres­i­dent have not fixed the mess they cre­at­ed fast enough, so you should fire him and put them back in charge.

Just how stu­pid do they think you are?

You decide !

Why Would America Reward Despicably Bad Behavior?

Obstruct, Obstruct, Obstruct, then when the guy throws up his arms and say“ok I will do my own thing, using the powers given me, “They scream, “see he doesn’t want to work with us”.

On the day President Barack Obama was being inau­gu­rat­ed in this momen­tous and his­toric occa­sion of what many peo­ple all over the world saw as America’s com­ing of age a group of Republicans to include Paul Ryan Republican Candidate for President , Jim DeMint , Tom Coburn and oth­ers were hud­dled in a despi­ca­ble Un-American con­spir­a­cy to obstruct the new pres­i­dent as a path back to polit­i­cal pow­er. Republican Senator from the State of Kentucky, Senate Minority Leader:quote The sin­gle most impor­tant thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president”.

Republican Senator from the State of South Carolina Jim DeMint :quote “If we’re able to stop Obama on this, it will be his Waterloo, it will break him,” DeMint said refer­ring to health-care.

Of course being the liars they are when con­front­ed with his own words DeMint said he was­n’t say­ing he want­ed to break Obama the man he was refer­ring to his momentum.

In absolute­ly no con­text could that be true as the pres­i­dent had no momen­tum going , repub­li­cans had thwart­ed the efforts of the White House at every turn to get health care leg­is­la­tion passed.

Mitch McConnell is now whin­ing that the pres­i­dent and his sup­port­ers are look­ing for peo­ple to blame for what he calls the pres­i­den­t’s fail­ure, nev­er mind that there are plen­ty of evi­dence to point to with­in that intran­si­gent bel­li­cose regres­sive Neanderthal excuse for a polit­i­cal party.

What the so-called Independent vot­ers in this coun­try needs to remem­ber, if there are any such vot­ers, is what tran­spired over the last four years. Monolithic and across the board Republican oppo­si­tion and obstruc­tion to the pres­i­den­t’s agen­da, many argue that the blan­ket oppo­si­tion was a strat­e­gy to get back to pow­er, that has worked and it may be true, how­ev­er there is a deep­er more sin­is­ter motive to their strategy.

That strat­e­gy is to make Obama’s pres­i­den­cy a fail­ure so much so that the coun­try would not even think of elect­ing anoth­er black man/​woman for anoth­er fifty years. Ask your­selves what is behind the hard lurch the repub­li­can par­ty took to the right, ask why the voic­es once on the fringe are now the most stri­dent voic­es with­in the par­ty, even to the extent of forc­ing out high lev­el repub­li­cans who dare to utter the word “com­pro­mise”.

They want a puri­fied par­ty, a par­ty that does not even con­sid­er work­ing with the pres­i­dent, an all white party.

DeMint dou­bled down on his Waterloo com­ment by say­ing b, quote: ““I’m not look­ing for vin­di­ca­tion but I do believe that was a call to arms ear­ly in this race. I was one of the first who was will­ing to take the pres­i­dent on direct­ly on an agen­da that I thought was out of con­trol,” DeMint said Wednesday. “So I cer­tain­ly don’t regret say­ing it.”.

Voters with a mod­icum of self-inter­est or patri­o­tism would kick these two par­ti­san hacks out of office at the next oppor­tu­ni­ty, don’t hold your breath for that to hap­pen these two are fix­tures with­in their respec­tive states where this kind of think­ing and utter­ances are accept­able, so these states will re-elect them the next time they are up for re-elec­tion and the peo­ple who elect them will have vot­ed against their own self-interest.

Jim DeMint, Mitch McConnell Paul Ryan, Michelle Bachman, Allan West, and all oth­er House and Senate office Holders who wants to undo Obama-Care, all of them, are ben­e­fi­cia­ries of the best health care, paid for by peo­ple who have none.

It is the great­est dis­play of intel­lec­tu­al dis­hon­esty that repub­li­cans talk about the fail­ures of Barack Obama even as they conspire/​d and did every­thing in their pow­er to ensure that he has/​add no accomplishment.What they are ask­ing the vot­ers in this coun­try to do is to reward them for bad behavior.

No, the American peo­ple should not reward these peo­ple who are mem­bers of the gov­ern­ment , live off Government , spend most of their lives in gov­ern­ment , yet demean and dis­par­age government.

They should not reward Paul Ryan with a pro­mo­tion for lying and being an Obstructionist.

The American vot­er must send a clear mes­sage to Republicans, that they rep­re­sent their inter­est, they the peo­ple they claim to rep­re­sent, and not Charles and David Koch, they must make it clear to them that the House of Representatives is not a place where par­ti­san and racial grudges are played out, rather they must assert , you do our busi­ness, not yours.

The American vot­er must once and for all show peo­ple in the repub­li­can par­ty that they are not fools, they must assert that they will not allow them to make America a place only for the very rich.

Palin In Drag:

Lies, racial coding, and dirty tricks, like voter suppression are nothing new to the American Political system. Like any other place on earth the United States is not exempt from crooked, unscrupulous people, as such as Republican Politicians run around throwing around the term American Exceptional-ism they may be reminded that their own party is as we speak mounting a concerted battle to keep certain categories of people from voting, how exceptional is that?One would have thought that with virtually all fact checkers panning Paul Ryan’s speech as littered with lies , exaggerations and coded racial language, Mitt Romney at the top of the Republican ticket would exert some degree of leadership, and if he cannot control Ryan, at least ensure that his utterances are unimpeachable.

Paul Ryan

During the 2008 cam­paign which saw Barack Obama elect­ed pres­i­dent of the United States, John McCain ran an hon­or­able cam­paign, one many believe to be the real char­ac­ter of the man him­self. John McCain is cer­tain­ly not per­fect we have seen how dis­as­trous his first exec­u­tive deci­sion was , in select­ing Sarah Palin to be his run­ning mate, but I’ll get back to that. Steve Schmidt is now a MSNBC con­trib­u­tor , Steve ran John McCain’s cam­paign, it is fair to say that mis­ter McCain is an hon­or­able man if we are able to infer any­thing from the way Steve Schmidt has con­duct­ed him­self. Contrarily we have seen the bel­li­cose rhetoric in Republicans as their par­ty lurch­es dan­ger­ous­ly to the right , so much so that many peo­ple from cer­tain seg­ments of the soci­ety con­clude they are unwel­come in that par­ty. Gays, Women, Blacks, Latinos, and the list con­tin­ues to grow as the repub­li­can par­ty purges itself of all except white men , and in some regards they don’t want cer­tain white men ‚unless they are rad­i­cal lunatics.

Where did this nastiness come from ?

Democrats were angry when the Supreme Courts stopped the count and hand­ed the elec­tions of 2000 to George Bush, despite sig­nif­i­cant evi­dence that Al Gore had won the elec­tions. Yet they got behind the new pres­i­dent who to this day they still believe assumed the pres­i­den­cy ille­git­i­mate­ly. such is the pow­er of fam­i­ly and influ­ence when your broth­er is the Governor of the State where the foul-up occurred, and the state which would decide the pres­i­den­cy that year. Bush went on to win a sec­ond term four years lat­er, after two wars launched by Bush, one a war of choice, an econ­o­my bleed­ing 4 mil­lion jobs the last year of his pres­i­den­cy and in tat­ters, the coun­try’s image abroad in ruins,the Constitution shred­ded with laws like the Patriot Act. Pariah sta­tus for the United States as a result of tor­ture, ren­der­ing pris­on­ers of war to vile rogue states so they are tor­tured. The out­ing of CIA Operative Valerie Plame, as polit­i­cal pay-back for her hus­band Joe Wilson’s prin­ci­pled stance against the Bush Administration’s lies on their march to an ille­gal war with Iran.Despite all of these acts some of them out­right crim­i­nal, Democrats went along with Bush out of fear of being called unpatriotic.

Remember “Either you are with us or you are against us”? What short mem­o­ries some of us have ! The events of September 11th set off a chain of events that have changed the United States for­ev­er, and most of it is for the worse, many Democratic law-mak­ers went along with Bush Administration impeach­able actions out of fear of being labeled unpa­tri­ot­ic, as well as want­i­ng to share in Bush’s brava­do. Not only were Bush’s actions impeach­able , we all saw a Democratic President impeached for hav­ing oral sex with an intern but Democrats went along hook,line and sinker.

Paul Ryan the so-called Deficit Hawk and the Tea Party did not yet grow talons or beak, so the Tea Party and Ryan went along with every spend­ing excess of the Bush Administration. I under­stand that with­out Talons and Beaks the young upstart Paul Ryan could not have been much of a preda­tor under the Bush Administration. He damn sure acquired them rapid­ly after Obama took over the dis­as­ter, both he and the reac­tionary frauds called the Tea Party

Mitt Romney

The nas­ti­ness we see in the last cam­paign was intro­duced unwit­ting­ly or per­haps cal­lous­ly cyn­i­cal by John McCain in the form of Sarah Palin.

What Palin lacked in intel­lect, or com­mon sense she cer­tain­ly over-com­pen­sat­ed with vit­ri­olic, racial nas­ti­ness, this woman who could not name a sin­gle pub­li­ca­tion she had ever read to Kathie Couric , cer­tain­ly knew how to hate and fan racial hatred, to this day I see noth­ing endear­ing or redemp­tive in this woman except that she was cre­at­ed by the same God who cre­at­ed all of us.

Sarah Palin

Sarah Palin is from the Tea Party, so is a lot of the Obstructionists in the United States Congress, and soon guys like Texas’ Ted Cruz will be sit­ting in the United States Senate, these are peo­ple who do not want Government even while they jock­ey for posi­tions with­in said Government.

Sarah Palin brought nas­ti­ness to the cam­paign that we had nev­er seen in our life­time, she came to nation­al atten­tion throw­ing around terms like “palling around with ter­ror­ists” Jeremiah Wright, Rezko, she also fur­ther threw around the non­sen­si­cal birther crap , it was then that intel­li­gent peo­ple came to the real­iza­tion that John McCain had made a ter­ri­ble mis­take in select­ing this woman to be his run­ning-mate. It became clear then, that the so-called mam­ma griz­zly, the Pitt-bull in lip­stick was noth­ing more than arguably a pret­ty face dressed up in cloth­ing paid for by Campaign funds a gor­geous pair of glass­es and not much else except an emp­ty head.

Palin’s approach would become the tem­plate for repub­li­cans from top to bot­tom, Republicans unleashed a nasty brand of pol­i­tics that was not even evi­dent dur­ing the tumul­tuous Clinton years. The Karl Rove play-book was out in full frontal mode for all to see. Despite cat­a­stroph­ic finan­cial signs which caused both Obama and McCain to leave their cam­paign and head to Washington DC to address the cri­sis, Republicans like Newt Gingrich Mitch McConnell , and Paul Ryan the can­di­date for vice pres­i­dent this cycle had ded­i­cat­ed them­selves to stand­ing in the way of any­thing the new pres­i­dent would do to res­cue the coun­try from the failed eco­nom­ic poli­cies of repub­li­can George W Bush.

That makes Paul Ryan the oppo­site of what he would like you to believe he is, Ryan is no deficit hawk, he vot­ed for every big gov­ern­ment pro­gram of the Bush Administration. He begged for stim­u­lus mon­ey even while he lied,and argued that the stim­u­lus did not work. When con­front­ed with the facts he feigned mem­o­ry lapse, he lat­er agreed that he did ask using some flim­sy dis­claimer that is so sil­ly I won’t even list it here.

Ryan lies so much that it is no won­der Romney the senior liar chose him to be his run­ning-mate, Romney has decid­ed­ly used lies as part of his cam­paign, it’s easy to see how he would choose Ryan who lies that the pres­i­dent closed a plant even before he became pres­i­dent, when con­front­ed with the facts the argued that it was part of a larg­er strat­e­gy to show Obama’s failures.

The truth is, it end­ed up show­ing the larg­er truth that the Romney/​Ryan cam­paign is an integri­ty-free zone.

The speech giv­en by Paul Ryan was panned by Democrats and Republicans alike as full of holes and down­right filled with lies, yet paul Ryan and Mitt Romney con­tin­ues with the bla­tant lies about Medicare, Welfare, and Obama’s record.

Ryan mean­while, lack­ing the ener­gy of Sarah Palin and crowd appeal, but for what comes out of his mouth, has turned out to be noth­ing more than Palin in drag.

COLLOSAL FAIL :

Romney ‚my dad gave my mom a rose every day of his life and when she ran for the Senate he was there for her every step of the way, a direct pan­der to women.

He spoke about his tenure as Governor , harken­ing to his putting women in his cab­i­net, he spoke about the Republican women Martinez, Ayatt, Haley, Secretary Rice, again pan­der­ing to women.further.

Romney talks about his wife rais­ing their boys again mak­ing a pitch for women vot­ers, Quote : “As you all have seen Anne could have suc­ceed­ed at any­thing she want­ed to do”.

He touched on faith, nev­er men­tion­ing that he was Mormon, he touched on his father being in Mexico an attempt to pan­der to Latinos.

He touched on cre­at­ing Bain Capital, argu­ing that Bain is now a suc­cess story.

Romney argued that Obama can­not rea­son­ably tell Americans that they are bet­ter off than when he was elected.

He cyn­i­cal­ly argued that pres­i­dents Carter and Obama are the only two pres­i­dents who can­not say that. Obviously the push going for­ward will be an attempt to link those two pres­i­dents together.

Jobs , jobs, jobs he utterd that word over and over and over again, the truth is American pres­i­dents do not cre­at jobs. It is a mis­nomer, a down­right lie, pres­i­den­t’s poli­cies may allow jobs to be cre­at­ed , par­tic­u­lar­ly if they are will­ing to hand over our del­i­cate eco-sys­tem to rich indus­tri­al­ists like the Koch broth­ers to do with it what­ev­er they please.

President Obama promised to slow the rise of the Oceans, he has promised to heal the plan­et, Romney said , “I promise I will help you and your fam­i­lies”. TO RACOUS APLAUSE.

Obviously the Republicans in the room does not under­stand that a pres­i­dent may slow the rise of the Ocean and heal the plan­et, sim­ply by pro­tect­ing our wet-lands, slow­ing the melt­ing of the polar ice-caps which when melt­ed releas­es humungous amounts of fresh water into our oceans dis­rupt­ing the del­i­cate eco-system.

It forces peo­ple fur­ther inland, destroy­ing fresh water sup­plies, food sup­plies, and scarce liv­ing spaces, and is a self per­pet­u­at­ing cat­a­stro­phe which if not arrest­ed by pres­i­den­tial inter­ven­tion will have catro­sph­ic con­se­quences for our planet.

Yes Mitt Romney and Republican flat earth believ­ers with­in that room, a pres­i­dent can do big things , Obama has done big things despite repub­li­can obstruc­tion­ism, a pres­i­dent can do much more than pro­vide a job for people.

Actually pres­i­dents real­ly do not cre­at jobs.

On this speech you failed big time.

Romney And Friends Repugnant Racist Code Speak:

I hope you are all now following what is happening in the political arena, particularly those of you who spend countless hours on social media like Face-Book and twitter, engaging in mindless inane chatter that does nothing to educate inspire or improve life. Ok, I was a little bit hard on you but, here’ the deal, irrespective of where you are domiciled the election of 2012 will affect your life one way or another, and that includes those of you who access these blogs who live in other countries. You may wonder how so? If Mitt Romney is elected we will be returning to the days of wars and more wars all over the Globe courtesy of the neo-con hawk puppeteer behind a president Romney.

Romney’s wife was unable to do what the des­per­ate­ly hope she would be able to do, human­ize the robot­ic emp­ty suit which is her hus­band, that task is an impos­si­ble task because her hus­band is a wound up wood­en crea­ture, inca­pable of under­stand­ing the emo­tions of aver­age peo­ple, as a result he has dis­played zero char­ac­ter in stand­ing up to the racist xeno­phobes that camp out in that par­ty. As such Mitt Romney has cast his lot with the most vile despi­ca­ble ele­ments who are hell-bent on the destruc­tion of Barack Obama. Of course a pres­i­den­tial can­di­date needs 50% plus one right? So gear up for the dirt­i­est elec­tion cam­paign most of you will prob­a­bly see in your life time, they have to throw this (nig­ger)sic: out of the White House, they won’t come out and say it the way I have said it here, but they speak to oth­ers in code.

John Boehner said if the coun­try was a bar Obama would be thrown out . Code :

Romney, Gingrich, Ryan , McDonald from Virginia, and the moron­ic Santorum speak­ing about Welfare? code:

When Reince Priebus the head of the RNC talk about wel­fare and tak­ing back our coun­try and return­ing it to its glo­ry days < code:

They are using racial code to attack pres­i­dent Obama and decent Americans should not stand for it, decent Americans must push back against these attacks against our President,a decent and good man.

Chris Matthews host of MSNBC’S (Hardball)took it to the RNC’S Reince Priebus on the (morn­ing joe tele­vi­sion show) Matthews told the RNC’s hack that what they were doing was racist dog whis­tle pol­i­tics , it was despi­ca­ble and it was wrong,Priebus like the typ­i­cal school yard bul­ly when con­front­ed, wilt­ed and with­ered , retreat­ing with mon­grel like whim­per, only to be saved by fel­low repub­li­can Joe Scarborough.http://http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/28/mika-brzezinski-chris-matthews-reince-priebus_n_1836973.html?utm_hp_ref=media.

Repugnant campaign of lies misinformation and racial codes.

So they trot out John McCain to talk about Foreign Policy, John McCain was a pris­on­er of war, we get that, as such many includ­ing many in the Democratic Party fall all over them­selves to defer to John McCain. The truth is, John McCain is a polit­i­cal oper­a­tive, if he was a Democrat no one would be hold­ing up John McCain as some­one to defer to.

John McCain’s for­eign pol­i­cy is to bomb every­one, “bomb, bomb, bomb Iran”, all of a sud­den McCain is the spokesper­son for the Iranian peo­ple who were seek­ing to be res­cued from their, tyran­ni­cal lead­ers, all of a sud­den McCain is the per­son lament­ing the fact that the American President Barack Obama did not com­mit American Troops to anoth­er ill-advised war to res­cue the Iranian peo­ple from themselves !!!

That is the pol­i­cy Republicans want to attack Iran under the guise that they are res­cu­ing them from tyran­ni­cal rulers, how well did that work out in Iraq, and Afghanistan?

They trot out Condoleezza Rice to talk about Foreign Policy, nei­ther Rice nor McCain uttered the words Osama Bin Laden. Rice in her ram­bling dia­tribe at the first African-American President for­got to men­tion that as National Security Adviser to President George Bush and lat­er Secretary of State, she played a sig­nif­i­cant part and was an inte­gral part of the web of deceit and lies which launched a fraud­u­lent war which result­ed in the death of count­less Iraqis, and the destruc­tion of their coun­try, and the death and maim­ing of thou­sands of American troops.

The pathet­ic irony which is the Romney Ryan Campaign is the obvi­ous tact they have tak­en to dis­qual­i­fy President Obama based on.

FEAR:

RACIAL ANIMUS:

DEMAGOGUERY:

OTHERING:

AND DISTORTIONS:

They can­not talk about Foreign Policy,.

The Iraq war is over, and Osama Bin Laden is dead.

They can­not talk about accomplishments.

Four mil­lion jobs cre­at­ed, General Motors is alive.

So it will be a no holes barred assault on Obama, he will be teased , chid­ed, lied on,he will be made out to be an alien , not just from anoth­er coun­try , but from anoth­er galaxy.

He will be accused of clos­ing a GM plant on Wisconsin that was closed before he became pres­i­dent, just ask Paul Ryan about that plant clos­ing, ask him how Obama did it before he was sworn into Office as President of the United States.

Ask Condoleezza Rice how Obama pre­vent­ed her from sit­ting at lunch coun­ters in the Racist Southern State of Alabama , yet she per­se­vered to become Secretary of State, just ask her how Obama did that despite her being old­er than Obama.

Just ask all of them about “you did­n’t build that” The line pla­gia­rized , lit­er­al­ly lift­ed from a state­ment made with­in a con­text that meant noth­ing close to what the one phrase sounds like.

The racial “dog whis­tle” deliv­ered by Rick Santorum, as no one else could deliv­er that lev­el of racial bull-shit, yes the same Rick Santorum who addressed this very same sub­ject of wel­fare to a lily-white audi­ence.quote:t “I don’t want to make black peo­ple’s lives bet­ter by giv­ing them some­body else’s money”

Of course the very same Santorum with­ered and shriv­eled up under the pres­sure of hav­ing to face up to his racist lies. quote: I looked at the video and I don’t — in fact, I’m pret­ty con­fi­dent I did­n’t say black. What I think I start­ed to say a word and sort of, bluh – sort of mum­bled it and changed my thought, but I don’t — I don’t recall say­ing black. No one in that audi­ence, no one lis­ten­ing, no reporter there, heard me say that. I think it was – and from every­thing I see and I’ve looked at it sev­er­al times, I was start­ing to say one word and I sort of came up with a dif­fer­ent word and moved on and it – and it sound­ed like black.

I have a cou­ple of dif­fer­ent word for you Rick Santorum you prob­a­bly nev­er heard of these PATHOLOGICALLY MENDACIOUSadd these two to your vocab­u­lary, like all oth­er typ­i­cal lying racist you lied and when con­front­ed with your own words, you added insult to injury by lying even more.

These are the hyp­o­crit­i­cal Pharisees, Santorum the Catholic. Ryan the Catholic, Romney the Mormon, Huckabee the Evangelical,I could go on and on.These peo­ple hate gay peo­ple, they hate abortion,they hate oth­er races, they hate oth­er religions,they hate help­ing the poor, but they damn sure are in love with lying.

They run around the coun­try telling white Americans they are the real Americans, every­one else has a hyphen­at­ed pre­cur­sor to their name, none so more than African-Americas. Trying to stir up racial ani­mus with the wel­fare lie ‚” Obama is tak­ing mon­ey from your Social Security and just send­ing it to his black friends with­out demand­ing that they work for it.

Ask your­selves how come peo­ple in oth­er coun­tries would kill to have their gov­ern­ment enact leg­is­la­tion which pro­tects those most vul­ner­a­ble ‚the old , indi­gent, the very young, the sick, or just peo­ple down on their luck, yet American white peo­ple hate those pro­grams? Republicans from Richard Nixon to Romney have suc­cess­ful­ly attached Welfare to Black peo­ple, it’s then easy to see why they hate it, yet they are the largest groups of wel­fare recip­i­ents, both at the bot­tom and at the top of cor­po­rate welfare.

This was start­ed by Gingrich, Santorum and of course Romney picked the next Generation of dem­a­gogues Paul Ryan to run with that mes­sage. Never mind that it is a damn lie.

Obviously Republicans feel that they may have their own brand of Christianity, (even if it’s a cult) that suits their nar­ra­tive, they argue lies and makes them facts, in their twist­ed Orwellian par­al­lel Universe, they argue that Israel has right to defend itself, but Iran does not have the right to defend itself if attacked by Israel. Yet no one in the lame-stream Media both­ers to demand the ratio­nale for that theory.

I will stop here for now.
