Political

Vive La France! After the savage attack in Paris, on the basic freedom’s given to us by G-D  we in the civilized world must unite to defeat evil! Terrorism the act of violence directed at the innocence, should not be allowed to achieve any political goal.  Whether your political views tend to be toward the right, left or somewhere in-between we must unite on this purpose! It doesn’t matter where this violence occurs from Jerusalem, NYC, Paris, or London we will not tolerate it anymore

(1) No land, nor peace talks will ever occur with any group or “political actor” that utilizes such actions to try to achieve their goals instead violence of the innocent will be met with violence of the perpetrators.

(2) Those who fund or support such actions financially or with their words must be tainted with the “Scarlet Letter” and understand that it is in their best interests to stop.

(3) Military action against those leaders who perpetrate such violence must be swift and decisive and although there will be collateral damage that will occur (these monsters hide and fight among their general populations) this will clearly not be our objective.

(4) We will work for peace with any group that renounces violence against the innocent, acts in ways that show that it is living up to that objective, and recognizes the right for others to live in peace in the state that they have achieved.

Only when we unite on these purposes will terrorism of the innocent die and we will live in a peaceful secure world.

For too many it doesn’t matter what you actually as long as you act.  These individuals aren’t as concerned about whether a leaders actions are legal or even right in many instances, they just want to see that the ball keep rolling and if it tramples over a few rules or even people along the way so be it.  This is why dictators are so appealing to the masses because they don’t have to go through Congresses or Courts to get things done.  This is also why President Obama has had an up tick in his popularity because whether you like it or not the President has recently taken direct actions. I can understand the appeal of leadership that is decisive but as much as I want action I personally must balance that desire with the rights and responsibilities guaranteed by the Constitution to the various branches of government.  I don’t expect leadership to get a ticket for going 60 in a 55 speed limit but driving a 112 is a different story. We must be just as concerned with actions that hurt our constitution then actions not taken.

Imagine if you went to the car dealership with $ 100,000 (nice to dream) and ended up with a Yugo while another customer with $10,000 ended up with a Mercedes Benz would you think that was fair? Yet today those that pay more get much less then those who pay less in one extremely important institution. An institution we all are made to depend on, “the government”.  Now don’t get me wrong I don’t believe the wealthy should get welfare checks,  a matter of fact I’m against corporate welfare in most cases, but shouldn’t there be some benefits in being the biggest contributor to this entity? Maybe they should have a gold card that lets them get to the front of the line at government offices such as the social security office or maybe they should have a special number so they get preferential treatment when they need governmental assistance.  It could be a simple thank you card during the Christmas/Hanukkah season for there contribution or a brick in their name at the White House.  No matter what we should acknowledge that those with means that they’ve earned through the system give more money back to the system then the rest of us and get less in return. If your one of these contributors I for one say thank you.

There are ties it’s best to save your breath.  It all depends on the people you are dealing with.  I don’t believe it’s necessary to be rude but being polite doesn’t mean to start a conversation. If 3 out of 4 (below exist) it’s best to keep that mouth zipped.

(1) The person you’re talking with has taken parts of your remarks to make themselves look good and you bad.

(2) This person truly doesn’t care what you’re thinking about.

(3)This leader has led his/her group without a true interest in those that they are serving and instead has done everything just to keep the power they have.

(4) This individuals consistently works with those that are opposed to you or your ideals.

Let them come to you (Fidel & Raul) with some chips in hand before the conversation begins.

Today the decision by Sony to cancel the premiere of “The Interview” because of terrorist threats and  President Obama opening the door to a rogue nation without preconditions may set us for disaster in the future. G-D knows I pray that I’m wrong but when a shark smells blood it is more likely to attack and today our country had two open wounds.   The United States government should have instead done what it needed to protect the interest of private citizens from terrorist attacks and not open the door to Cuba until they showed various steps to normalization with the U.S. Instead we had the worst timing possible as we  capitulated to terrorism threats while the administration played the weakest hand possible in dealing with Cuba.   Evil reads weakness and I fear will act toward our weakness.

If you know me you general won’t see these two words positive and regulation in the same sentence but there are exemptions. Usually I prefer incentives for businesses to do the right thing but when it comes to our national security and the rights of an individual then government might have such a limited right to get involved.  Here are two examples where I believe the government should act. FOR THOSE THAT OBJECT PLEASE PROVIDE AN ALTERNATE REMEDY.

(1) GAS NATIONAL SECURITY ACT– Our country must not be dependent on oil from the Mideast to survive and currently members of OPEC are trying to destroy this industry in our own land. Therefore the government must purchase and store gas from the foreign markets to insure our industries don’t go bankrupt. By buying the supply it will regulate the price so our companies can still survive and our government can release that oil should OPEC try to raise prices excessively in the future.

(2) EMAIL PRIVACY ACT– Individual citizens should expect a certain degree of privacy when they send private text, emails or other ways to communicate. Therefore the press should be forbidden to report on such emails or other ways to communicate without the consent of at least one of the parties.

Jeb Bush is not my first choice for the 2016 Republican Presidential Nomination a matter of fact he’s probably not in the top five but that doesn’t mean I can’t look at his candidacy objectively. I’ve listed (below) what I consider the most positive aspects and negative aspects of his run do you concur. Who know maybe by being objective and discovering who else is running he might move further up the ladder or fall further down but at least this is a start.

POSITIVE

1. Can raise monies needed for campaign.

2. Has experience as a successful governor.

3. Is not afraid to take an unpopular decision.

4.  Is considered intellectual and is a fine speaker.

5. Has experience running for office.

NEGATIVE

1. People might be tired of the Bush name in Presidential Politics.

2. Is in favor of “Common Core”

3. He is one of the favorites of the established and/or moderate wings of the party.

4. Doesn’t provoke the excitement of the grassroots of the party.

5. Keeps the party as the old party with no new types of faces in the mix.

      Why are there now Right Wing sit in’s? Don’t get me wrong we’ve had plenty of protests whether it be over Obamacare or Abortion policies but can you name a true sit in. The last time I can recall such a movement from the right it occurred with Operation Rescue where”Pro Life” activist took many counterculture measures to get their message out. It’s ironic that at the time of their greatest impact laws were enacted to stop their protests from having such an effect.  “Sit In”, type protests can mobilize your grassroots activist to take a stronger stance together and build a network. This network can impact legislative or elective changes to our society. The problem is that we on the right are making our own changes everyday whether it be through long hours at the office or even longer hours with family and our local Churches and/or Shul’s. If we are to continue grow though with our youth we must make the time and effort to have our own “Sit In’s” and show the media elite that our message will be heard as well. 

As the walls to our national security spout new leaks we must be careful to fix them before our enemies can sneak through. The crumbling of the wall is occurring on three fronts. First of all the damaging report by the Senate on CIA interrogation  techniques has hurt morale at a government agency that’s sole mission is to protect us from foreign enemies such as terrorist.  If the individuals from the agency feel that the government truly doesn’t support their efforts they may not take the extra risk we need them to take. The continually protests and negative attitudes toward our police by the civilian and government officials has hurt morale from the street.  Many police officers I’ve spoken to have decided to do their job and nothing more because they feel threatened by these negative actions brought upon them. Finally the executive order the President signed has given the illusion that our borders are more open then ever and this could increase the likelihood of not only having those looking for a better life jumping the border but those who are looking to do us harm such as terrorist.  Here’s a few ways (below) we can rebuild this wall quickly.

(1) The President address the nation and speak about the good works of the CIA and Law Enforcement Agency and how important it is for us to support them. There might be a bad seed in a cornfield but that is just one seed.

(2) Congress passes a bill that adds more monies and security to protect the border and has a portion of those funds given directly to the states that are linked to our border.

(3) Community Policing is quickly established in areas where distrust of law enforcement officials occur.
