The Decline And Fall Of The American Empire

Now is the time at SDA when we juxtapose!

June 12, 1987 - "Today I say: As long as the gate is closed, as long as this scar of a wall is permitted to stand, it is not the German question alone that remains open, but the question of freedom for all mankind."

July 11th, 2011 - "Mr. Assad - post on this wall."

Well I am impressed . . . a major Facebook shellacking will put some major fear in Mr. Assad.

I mean, its on Facebook.

Barry is getting serious here.

Diplomatic missives on Facebook? You can't be serious. Is this High School?

And they said Palin was a naive hick without any foreign policy experience.

The Reagan Doctrine vs. Barry's Facebook Doctrine...hhmmmm.

Now if Barry Soetero had made a speech in front of the Bab Al-Salam (Peace Gate), in Damascus, that may well have been approaching Reaganesque speechifying in Berlin.

Thus far we have had: "Ich bin ein jelly donut (Berliner).

Interesting cat - ambassador ford. Under the circumstances - deliberate inaction by BO - he's doing about as much as an ambassador can do publically and keep his job. He could become a real thorn in BO's side.

I know someone who worked in Iraq around the same time he did - perhaps he will be able to tell me what mr ford is all about...

Reagan marched steadly forward, the Zero does the moon walk, thusly appearing to go forwards he steadily retreats. The Zero is an angery beta male.

'bama's just like one of those snakes - swaying away in a basket, mesmerized by the flute player.

Too stupid to strike, dodge or duck.

I don't get it... these are 2 totally unrelated issues... there is no juxtaposition possible.

And you folk on the left complain the right lacks nuance.

Snork...

So... is Barry supporting Assad or is he anti-Assad? He usually sides with the "Arab Spring" protestors, who usually turn out to be crazy fanatics worse than the dictators they overthrow.

If another US Embassy gets taken by Jihadists, it will be Carter all over again.
Obama is a reed that blows in the direction of any wind. Usually the wrong wind.

Why be courageous? That's someone else's forte.

We have a jewish problem here in the USA...and all the smoke and mirrors that comes along with it.
Obama will have to deal with this problem clearly and decisively in the coming days.

About Kate

Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.

This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."
