RAPID
RESPONSE (Archives)...Daily Commentary on News of the Day
This is a new section. It will
offer fresh,
quick reactions by myself to news and events of the day, day by day, in
this rapid-fire world of ours. Of course, as in military
campaigns,
a rapid response in one direction may occasionally have to be followed
by a "strategic withdrawal" in another direction. Charge that to
"the fog of war", and to the necessary flexibility any mental or
military
campaign must maintain to be effective. But the mission will
always
be the same: common sense, based upon facts and "real politick",
supported
by a visceral sense of Justice and a commitment to be pro-active.
That's all I promise.

The
10th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution was
not just a throw-away after-thought of the Founding Fathers, but rather
a
bed-rock principle of the Republic. Furthermore, this country is
currently in political gridlock as it should be, given the great chasm
between
the crazy far-Left and even moderate Conservative principles. In
fact, I
believe that - if we did not have the safety valve of individual
States'
rights, initiatives and experimentation - we might well be witnessing a
great

<>THE BUSH FAMILY DYNASTY: STILL
CONTRIBUTING.
Within a few days of
each other, the brothers Bush have offered
the nation and the Republican Party two ways out of their current
political
morass. Jeb Bush has offered a sane and humane approach to
Immigration as
a substitute for the inane "amnesty" reflex of too many. And
George W. Bush, in his comments for the 50th anniversary of LBJ's civil
rights
acts, has placed the responsibility for the continued plight of our
Black
brothers squarely on Education - or the lack of it for them.
Embrace these
two problems with solutions...and both the nation and the Republican
Party will
be much better off.

Reflecting…
This
is all factually (and historically) correct
-- and verifiable if one would decide to do some research toward that
end… if
you even go back further… in 732 AD the
Moslem Army which was moving on Paris was defeated and turned back at
Tours,
France, by Charles Martell.
…
in 1571 AD the Moslem Army / Navy was defeated by the Italians and
Austrians
as they tried to cross the Mediterranean to attack southern Europe in
the
Battle of Lapanto.
…
in 1683 AD the Turkish Moslem Army, attacking Eastern Europe, was
finally
defeated in the Battle of Vienna by German and Polish Christian Armies.
…
this crap has been going on for 1,400 years and half of these damn
politicians don't even know it! If these battles had not been won
we
might be speaking Arabic and Christianity could be non - existent;
Judaism
certainly would be... And let us not forget that Hitler was an admirer
of Islam
and that the Mufti of Jerusalem was Hitler's guest in Berlin and raised
Bosnian
Muslim SS Divisions: the 13th and 21st Waffen SS Divisions who killed
Jews,
Russians, Gypsies, and any other "subhumans".
Reflecting
A
lot of Americans have
become so insulated from reality that they imagine that America can
suffer
defeat without any inconvenience to themselves.
Pause
a moment, reflect back. These events are actual events from
history.
They really happened! Do you remember?
1.In
1968 , Bobby
Kennedy was shot and killed by
a Muslim male.
2.
In
1972 at the Munich Olympics, athletes were kidnapped and massacred by
Muslim males.
3.
In 1972 a Pan Am 747 was hijacked and eventually diverted
to Cairo where a fuse was lit on final approach and it was blown up
shortly
after landing by
Muslim males.
4.
In
1973 a Pan Am 707 was destroyed in Rome, with 33 people killed, when it
was
attacked with grenadesby
Muslim males.
5.
In 1979, the US embassy in Iran was taken over by
Muslim males.
6.
During the 1980's a number of Americans were kidnapped in
Lebanon by
Muslim males.
7.
In 1983, the US Marine barracks in Beirut was blown up by
Muslim males.
8.
In 1985, the cruise ship Achille Lauro was hijacked and a
70 year old American passenger was murdered and thrown overboard in his
wheelchair by
Muslim males.
9.
In
1985, TWA flight 847 was hijacked at Athens, and a US Navy diver trying
to
rescue passengers
was murdered by
Muslim males.
10.
In 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed by
Muslim males.
11.
In 1993, the World Trade Center was bombed the first
time by
Muslim males.
12.
In 1998, the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were
bombed by
Muslim males.
13.
On 9/11/01, four airliners were hijacked; two were used
as missiles to take down the World Trade Centers and of the remaining
two, one
crashed into the US Pentagon and the other was diverted and crashed by
the
passengers. Thousands of people were killed by
Muslim males.
14.
In 2002, the United States fought a war in Afghanistan against Muslim
males.
15.
In 2002, reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and
beheaded by -- you guessed it -- Muslim
males.
16.
In 2013, Boston Marathon Bombing 4 Innocent people
including a child killed, 264 injured by
Muslim males.
No,
I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you?
So,
to ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics
intent on
killing us, airport security screeners will no longer be allowed to
profile
certain people.

Absolutely
No Profiling! They must conduct random searches of 80-year-old
women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret
agents
who are members of the President's security detail, 85-year old
Congressmen

Foss, but
leave Muslim Males, alone lest they be guilty of profiling.<>

Brain transplant needed
HOSPITAL VISIT
In the hospital where a family member
lay gravely ill, the relatives gathered in the waiting
room. Finally, the doctor came in looking tired and
somber. "I'm afraid I'm the bearer of bad news," he said as he surveyed
the worried faces. "The only hope left for your loved one
at this time is a brain transplant. It's an experimental
procedure, very risky, but it is the only hope.
Insurance will cover the procedure, but you will have to
pay for the BRAIN."
The family members sat silent as they
absorbed the news. After a time, someone asked, "How much will a
brain cost?"
The doctor quickly responded, "$5,000
for a Democrat's brain; $200 for a Republican's brain."
The moment turned awkward. Some of the
Democrats actually had to try not to smile, avoiding eye contact with
the Republicans. A man unable to control his curiosity, finally blurted
out the question everyone wanted to ask, "Why is the Democrat's brain
so much more than a Republican's brain?" The doctor smiled
at the childish innocence and explained to the entire group, "It's
just standard pricing procedure. We have to price the
Republicans' brains a lot lower because they're used."
"Any man who thinks he
can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of him;
better take a closer look at the American Indian."

TIME FOR ANOTHER POT POURRI: Reactions to recent
headlines.
- "Retirement becoming an elusive goal for Americans".
If you are now living "a life of quiet desperation", don't wait for
"retirement", QUIT NOW..." and begin the rest of your life.
"He who loves his job never has to work a day in his life".
- "Effective or not, Torture is un-American". Webster's definition of "torture": Infliction of
intense pain especially to punish or obtain a confession". Did
the methods of American interrogators rise to this level? I don't
know...yet. What I do know is that we have a right to protect
ourselves. And when our opponents do not fear death...but rather
embrace it, traditional rules of engagement must be rewritten.
For myself, I would draw the line before permanent physical
injury would be a result.
- "The Charter School Breakout". "Can Connecticut Afford
School Choice?" No Child Left Behind". "Common Core".
"Vouchers". And as always, the Teachers' lobby are squealing like
stuck pigs. "Have you no shame?" No, you don't.
- "America's Shrinking Navy". Another
shooting at Fort Hood. The sclerotic military attitude to sexual
harassment, to psychologic problems, to homosexuality, the multiple
deployments, the new isolationism of Americans, especially of the "Me"
and Millenial Generations. Folks just don't "give a damn" about
their country anymore - only about themselves.
- "Will the U.N. Act on its North Korea Report?"
The U.N.: the longest running joke on or off TV.
- Re. the tax poor status of New London, Ct. "Finizio,
Hewett testify in favor of reverse PILOT bill"; "Shame on Conn.
College"...and Mitchell, and L&M Hospital for fighting against fair
and reasonable payments to the city in lieu of taxes by these
"non-profit" corporations. Definition of "non-profit": what's
left after all of the exorbitant salaries are paid".
- GM Cobalt: the latest Ford Pinto.
We have always had "bulls" and "bears" on Wall Street. Now all we
have is "pigs". I would send every middle and upper level
executive who can be proven to have had a hand in those decisions to a
medium security prison for 10 years. And I would fine the
corporation 1 Billion Dollars.
- "Physician Assisted Suicide": fatal
for patients and also for the Medical Profession.
- The Judiciary: why the Presidency is so important.
Thank God for the Founding Fathers and for the first Chief Justice,
John Marshall.
Enough
for now. But I'm far from over.

SEEMS
"FAIR AND
BALANCED" TO ME, ALSO A VETERAN.
GS
A
movement has been started by our armed forces to get out the vote in
2014. They are organizing themselves, but this can be done by all of
us. The President, the Commander in Chief, has made the Rules of
Engagement (ROE) so difficult, that our troops are often killed before
they can even get permission to fight. Nothing has been done to stop
our troops from being murdered by the Afghans they are training, either.
Now,
the President wants the US to sign on to the UNs International Criminal
Court (ICC), which would allow the UN's ICC to arrest and try US troops
for War Crimes, without the legal protections guaranteed under US Law,
and from which there is no appeal. The President, with his Democratic
control of the Senate, has nearly all the power. If the
Non-Establishment Republicans, and Conservatives, can take back the
Senate in 2014, our troops can once again be protected from unnecessary
danger.
Interestingly
enough, when GWB was president you heard about the military deaths in
Iraq and Afghanistan almost daily. With Obama in the White
House, the mainstream media has been strangely quiet. ---
More
than 1,000 American soldiers have lost their lives in
Afghanistan in the last 27 months. This is more than
the combined total of the nine years before. Thirty have
died in August. During the last month, over 50 additional
NATO and US servicemen have been murdered, inside jobs by those
who are hired to be a force for good in Afghanistan.
The
commander in chief is AWOL. Not a peep, although he ordered the
White House flag flown at half-staff for the Sikhs that were
killed. There is a deep disgust, a fury, growing in
the ranks of the military against the indifferent
incompetence of this president.
It
has taken on a dangerous tone. No one knows what to do about him,
but the anger runs deep as the deaths continue with no strategic
end in sight to the idiocy of this war. Obama has had 4
years to end this futile insanity, during which time he has
vacationed, golfed, campaigned, and generally ignored the
plight of our men and women in uniform. But, there
is now a movement afoot in the armed services to launch
a massive get out the vote drive against this president.
Not
just current active duty types, but the National Guard,
Reserves, the retired, and all other prior service members.
This is no small special interest group, but many millions of
veterans who can have an enormous impact on the outcome of the
November election if they all respond.
The
one million military retirees in Florida alone could mean an
overwhelming victory in that state if they all show up at the polls. It
might not keep another one hundred U.S. troops from dying between
now and November, but a turn out to vote by the military against this
heart breaking lack of leadership can make a powerful
statement that hastens a change to the indifference of this
shallow little man who just lets our soldiers die.
And
another issue is the 131 General officers that have been fired or
"early retired" by this hate-the-military administration!!! He and his
vindictive mate are trying to kill our military while establishing
their own "loyal" organization of "enforcers"... who may soon come
knocking on our doors.
