A Boston Tea Party ...(Wanna-be Do-Gooders)

Jobs come in all shapes and sizes. There are CEO’s and there are bus boys. There are private industry jobs and governmental jobs. While all jobs are significant they do carry varying degrees of weight. In many cases the importance of a job is rather inflated if you ask the person doing the job. You can see this over stated impression when listening to anyone working with and/or along side anyone from the United Nations.

Never in the history of “jobdom” is a current agency ever been so pathetic at actually accomplishing something while at the same time believing the agency remains essentially important. When thinking of the U.N., I am often reminded of a Robin Williams comedy skit. Williams would stand on stage and in one of his many different voices proclaim to be a Frenchman. He would announce, “If you cross this line (while pointing to an imaginary line on the floor), there will be war.” He would then pause a minute then take a step back and again announce, “If you cross this line (pointing to a line now a few feet behind the previously line drawn), there will be war.” He would repeat this several times, always retreating while still remaining resolute in his command. Such is the current situation with the United Nations, an agency so over valued while at the same time so incredibly impotent.

How anyone can take anything coming out of the U.N. seriously is beyond my comprehension. I can easily seeing myself jumping out a window from pure frustration would I have to put up with the B.S. which permeates the entire U.N. culture. Our current ambassador to this sad organization of nations realizes the difficulty of getting any results and continues to pound his head against the wall on our nation’s behalf. His re-appointment is again up for debate. Democrats argue that John Bolton has not been able to make progress in negotiating solutions to the many crises around the world. Making progress at the U.N. would make Bolton a nominee for sainthood.

Progress is of course relative. To a Democrat, progress means getting an agreement regardless of whether the agreement is violated or not. Progress to a Democrat is a cease-fire in the Middle East even though all that remains is the status quo. Bush, Rice, and Bolton realize agreements are not worth the paper they are written on if they do not result in a change in the future result. This contrast needs to be emphasized in the coming months leading up to the election in the fall. The United Nations has become nothing more than a freeloading, money stealing, and dependant creating organization of wanna-be do-gooders who are never to be taken seriously. It should be obvious why the Democrats are so in love with the place, neither one gets any results and both are full of worthless rhetoric.

A Boston Tea Party …(Enemy Summit)

Let’s make a deal. The art of negotiation is a daily occurrence. People negotiate on business and governmental issues all the time. In today’s age many parents even negotiate with their children. There is a type of negotiation that takes place on a regular basis, which very few of us never have to experience. Israel is asked to negotiate with countries and people whose only agreement is for the extermination of the Jewish State.

How do we suppose such a negotiation is to take place? It must go something like this: Will you take money for peace? Yes, but only if it includes your State no longer existing. Will you take land for peace? Yes, but only if it includes the elimination of your people.

Once the removal of a particular state or its people is nonnegotiable, it becomes impossible to strike a deal. It is this very point people must wrap their minds around. The only thing accomplished by a cease-fire is that it allows time for terrorist groups to rebuild. Weeks and/or months go by while the terrorists reload, build tunnels, and develop a strategy for their next hit. The only certainty over any cease-fire is it won’t last. Terrorist groups and countries that have members of terrorists groups within their government cannot be trusted. Terrorism and honesty are on opposite ends of the scale.

The current actions taken by Israel must be taken as a positive. The total slime that terrorist groups like Hezbollah are is being exposed. They break every negotiation they have ever agreed too. They hide behind women and young children. They fire missiles from supposed private residents. They are perfectly happy when their own people are killed as well as when private citizens of Israel are killed. They are radical Islam at its finest.

It is ironic that peace will only happen when those who want Israel and the West eliminated are actually eliminated themselves. Anyone demanding restraint or the ceasing of actions by Israel only delays peace. Peace has to be earned and won especially against an enemy who cannot be trusted in a negotiation. Any loss of civilian lives needs to lie at the feet of the terrorist groups who initiated such results.

It is being said that Israel is making more enemies with each day it continues its bombing of Lebanon. When a people want your extinction is it possible to make more enemies. It would seem at that point you have reached the enemy summit. There are no degrees of extinction. Since extinction is the basis of a good deal or a bad deal then extinction of those who want to do the “extincting” seems like a noble goal. It has been proven shaking hands doesn’t work.

A Boston Tea Party …(Pummel Them)

LET’S GET READY TO RUMBLE. In this corner we have the country of Israel, a country that faces danger everyday. Israel weighs in as a democratic country. In the other corner is terrorism sponsored by Iran and Syria. Terrorism weighs in with the desire to eliminate Israel off the face of the earth. This is a fight in the making for years. The time has come to settle it once and for all.

I told my son this morning as I drove him to work that I hoped by the end of the day full-scale war would break out. As we now inch towards late evening the possibility gets closer. It is time to declare a winner and a loser. For years we see terrorists kill Israeli citizens and then eventually a response from Israel, tit for tat. Enough! Peace negotiations after peace negotiations have been tried. Compromises have been offered. Offers have been agreed too and broken or flat out rejected. The time has come for the civilized world to put these terrorist organizations and the countries that support them in their graves. I hope this is the spark that begins the process.

A war between Israel and radical Islam will allow every person, religion, and country the opportunity to take a side. Do they support a country’s right to exist in peace or not? Actually the choice is whether to exist at all. When a society has free elections and elects a terrorist organization to leadership results like we have seen the last few days should not be a surprise. I support Israel’s right to do WHAT EVER it deems necessary to keep its people safe. We as Americans would do the same damn thing. Have no mercy Israel. Pummel them into submission. Do it once and do it right and please be relentless. You cannot negotiate with crazy people.

A Boston Tea Party …(Respectfully Go Home)

A few years ago there was a story in the news about an elderly woman who had died in her home after falling. It was reported that her many pet cats had begun to eat her. It seems the cats turned on the woman at the time she was most vulnerable. This is very similar to what is happening to Joe Lieberman as the Democratic primary in Connecticut closes in.

Democrats in his state are repelling Lieberman because he was and always has been in favor of the war in Iraq. Lieberman is a liberal in many, many ways. He is also one of a very few liberals who I can actually respect. He is the antithesis of a John Kerry. While most prominent Democrats are disavowing, qualifying, or apologizing for their votes on the war Lieberman stands tall. There is no revision of history or pandering on his part. A stance on war is a principled one and one that must be followed through on. Lieberman understands this even while his party goes further and further left. Once you vote for war you need to live with it till that war is over. The only motivation should be to win and not make political points.

The man who was oh so close to being the Vice President of the United States is now reduced to potentially running as an independent to save his political office. He has obtained the necessary 7,000 signatures to run as an independent should he lose the upcoming primary. As strong as his feelings are about the war they are equally as strong about remaining in office. Survival is truly the modern day politician’s strongest trait. Their love of office is intoxicating. How many politicians ever say they can’t wait to get back to being a private citizen? Very, very few. Oh, we often get the sanctifying reply of how much joy they get out of serving the public, which is pure B.S. It is the perks, prestige, and total selfishness that keep these people from ever wanting to be Joe Blo private citizen. I find it disgusting. Lieberman is a Democrat. A liberal Democrat supporting the war. He is also a Democrat who if he loses the primary should respectfully go home. It is his own party who has turned on him and he should honor the result. He would still have his pride unlike John Kerry.
