Happy New Year…let’s hope so.
First, Obama has finally…FINALLY…admitted that we are at war with Al Queda. It is about damn time. What I don’t get, however, is the fact that he is mirandizing Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab is very counter-intuitive. We didn’t arrest and mirandize our POW s in WWII, Korea, or Vietnam. Did we? Why on earth would we mirandize a combatant that told us straight up that he was sent by Al Queda? Al Queda is still going to try and attack us whether or not we try him in civilian court or a military tribunal. They are going to try and attack us whether or not we close GITMO. They are going to try and attack us pretty much no matter what we do, so why is Obama so eager to try and pacify these people when he knows full well it won’t work. He needs to be focused on how to keep this country safe, and worry a little less what the terrorists think about us. On a related topic, God was watching over the people in that plane. I thank him that no one was hurt and that the plane landed safely.
Second…Obama needs to realize that the government sucks at just about everything. Don’t believe me, here is a few examples; Education, saving and spending wisely, running a business (Fannie and Freddie)…just to name a few. I don’t know what makes him think that airline security can fare much better. Turn this over to private security agencies, or the airlines themselves. The private sector always does things better than the government ever could. The government has a terrible track record of being able to do things so far, what makes them think that this is going to be any different. The same thing applies to health care.
That leads into my third topic. If the government has such a terrible track record, why then, are they still wanting to pass this monstrosity that is the healthcare reform bill. The American people are against it. What needs to happen is some de-regulation of the insurance companies, such as being able to sell insurance accross state lines. This will ultimately drive down prices of insurance, and make it affordable to most everybody. As I said before, the private sector always does better than government run anything.
So, until the next time,
love,
Your favorite right wing nut-job.
