A Nod To The Gods

Shamelessly stolen from Ace of Spades, go read the rest.

Take it away Confucius:

A superior man, in regard to what he does not know, shows a cautious reserve. If names be not correct, language is not in accordance with the truth of things. If language be not in accordance with the truth of things, affairs cannot be carried on to success. When affairs cannot be carried on to success, proprieties and music do not flourish. When proprieties and music do not flourish, punishments will not be properly awarded. When punishments are not properly awarded, the people do not know how to move hand or foot. Therefore a superior man considers it necessary that the names he uses may be spoken appropriately, and also that what he speaks may be carried out appropriately. What the superior man requires is just that in his words there may be nothing incorrect.

Bingo! Obviously we do not have a superior man in the White House.

To suggest that Islamist extremist have “legitimate grievances” defies logic. Obama and his minions are not qualified to run a lemonade stand, let alone the country. Why he hasn’t been run out of office for dereliction of duty is mind boggling.

A legitimate government would see the folly of having a man like Obama in charge and demand his resignation. But because of his skin color politicians are terrified of being labeled racists. Until we have a government body that relies on common sense instead of political correctness we are doomed to be ruled by idiots.

 

Governments that deny human rights play into the hands of extremists who claim that violence is the only way to achieve change. Efforts to counter violent extremism will only succeed if citizens can address legitimate grievances through the democratic process and express themselves through strong civil societies. Those efforts must be matched by economic, educational and entrepreneurial development so people have hope for a life of dignity. _ Barack Obama

Reap the whirlwind Detroit, you elected them, you excepted the lies, the goodies, and now except the consequences.

No matter what this liberal midget says, it is not the white mans fault, you need to look in the mirror.

“Detroit is the largest city ever to seek bankruptcy protection, so its bankruptcy is seen as a potential model for other American cities now teetering on the edge.

But Detroit is really a model for how wealthier and whiter Americans escape the costs of public goods they would otherwise share with poorer and darker Americans.” http://weaselzippers.us/200369-pint-sized-democrat-blames-detroits-bankruptcy-on-white-people/

Too Big To Fail” has never been applied to a besieged nation torn apart by sectarian factions, but let’s try it here: Afghanistan’s government recently asked the US for a $537 million bailout to pay its bills, and they’d like it within the next “five to six” days.

“We hope they will pay for us, and we are asking at once,” Alhaj M. Aqa, the director general of the treasury at the Ministry of Finance, told The Washington Post. “They are asking me when I need it, and I told them this week or we will have a problem.”

The United States already throws billions of dollars at countries who for whatever reason, hate us, and Afghanistan is no different. Its probably time they put on their big boy pants and take care of themselves. That goes for every country that has even a “smidgen” of ties to terrorism, including drug cartels.

This gigantic waste of money is infuriating, and it’s the American taxpayer footing the bill.

Obama arrogantly stated he was “elected to stop wars, not start them”. That small ball statement along with his smug debate remark about Romneys “80’s” foreign policy and you can see how immature and unprepeared this man was for the office he holds. Now that he has painted himself into this corner…he has no one to blame but himself.

Obama has been running away from Al Qaeda and now it has caught him. He imagines that he can escape with a few air strikes, a few speeches and a pivot to something else, but it won’t be that simple. This is a war that cannot be escaped or avoided, speechified or shrugged off.

Obama chose appeasement. He chose denial. He chose the Arab Spring. He chose the golf course. He chose to ignore the problem.

Now he has a war on his hands. keep reading

America has been weakened by being divided. Divided nations are too busy fighting among themselves to put up a strong defense. The world is going to hell because everyone from Putin to ISIS is confident that Americans are too busy fighting over Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown, over gay marriage and illegal alien amnesty, to pay much attention to them.

Obama’s tribal politics are dedicated to squelching the open equality of freedom and turning every aspect of life into a subsidized commodity to be dispensed by a central authority on a tribal basis.

That is not America. That is Egypt. That is Saudi Arabia. That is Iraq.
