Lets briefly recap events over the past six weeks of 2011. There was the suicide bombing of the church in Egypt, the suicide bombing in Russia, the murdering rampage in Arizona, birds and sea life have turned up dead by the thousands, and now the Egyptian dictator has been replaced by a military ruling body (I’m not sure how that will make things better for the people of Egypt). All of this has happened before St. Valentines Day! I’ll bet some of you have already forgotten about at least one of those things.
On Thursday, February 3rd , the results of an investigation of the home-grown terrorist attack at Fort Hood, TX was released by Senator Joe Lieberman. The report revealed that the terrorist traitor’s attack could not only have been stopped … it could have been prevented all together. Did you hear any broad based news coverage of that? Were the events in Egypt more important to you than the finding of facts that Americans could have been saved from death but were not? … I don’t think so. Americans should be rightfully outraged that a known traitor was not captured and removed from our military service and that the very same traitor was promoted even after his associations and beliefs were known. In effect, they ignored a ticking time bomb to avoid being charged with prejudice. But how can Americans be outraged of it if we don’t know about it and the news media has chosen to not cover the story with any effort? Here is a link you my care to check out. http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/lieberman-fort-hood-massacre-could-have . Political correctness lives on while Americans die.
Just the day before that on February 2nd ,the president signed a nuclear arms agreement with Russia (he signed it without press coverage other than photography). Some say based off of the preamble to the of the treaty, that it places limits on the development and deployment of nuclear defense system technology. That agreement still has to be passed by both the US and Russian legislatures. The Russians are very interested at placing limits on (or I should say at reducing US defenses in) Europe. Why would that be? Others wonder why should this bill be rushed … just as so many of this President’s other poorly constructed bills had been rushed through the previous Congress. These are just two stories that the news media did not cover and report on to you. Instead they focused on Egypt … including my favorite FOX NEWS. That is why I say if you don’t listen to talk radio, you are under-informed. I’ll add that I also read articles on line from differing news agencies and talk about issues with people I meet.
I have a friend that was raised in Zimbabwe (she’s white) and lived in South Africa. She also lived in England because her parents are British. She always tells me how great our country is, yet she is surprised that racism and prejudice exist in the United States. Before you ask … yes she immigrated here legally. I tell her that prejudice and hatred exist everywhere. We often talk about world events, I like to hear her perspective since she’s been in places I’ve never been to and most likely never will. She’s seen war, bigotry, prejudice and hatred at its worse because she lived where it exists. I’ve told her it must seem boring living here after having lived in Africa. She is a born again Christian. The last time I talked to her, she expressed what it feels like to have been a part of a ruling minority race in Africa and the feeling of being a part of the majority in England. She instantly felt a part of England because she could blend in, while in Africa she could not. Yet in England she could sense that England and Europe has become almost Godless … she said she does not feel that here in the United States. Isn’t that wonderful… just when I was starting to believe that we have become a more and more Godless country I hear that we are not.
2011, what will you reveal next?
There you have it.
Pass it along if you like or let me know if I don’t have a clue.
