MOTTO:Committed To Relentless Pursuit Of Hidden Truths -Globally-
So Weiner got caught exposing his weenie. And he lied about it. So what? Understandable human reaction, not excusable-but understandable. Politicians lie all the time. They would not be true politicians if they did not shade the truth or outright lie. I am not supporting nor condoning the Congressman’s lewd behaviors and post-actions after being exposed, by no means. But rather I am attempting to bring things into their proper perspective based on reality.
I have observed this man over the years and can say with some degree of certainty that he is one of the most progressive and productive politicians on Capitol Hill. Always "in your face" with the republicans, and was not that popular among democrats either.
Hence, Weiner is nothing more than a sacrificial lamb for the hypo-critical demos; a.k.a. hypocritical democrats. Why do you dare say such a thing, you ask? Well because it is now June 2011 and the demos are preparing for the 2012 elections. So Weiner must resign early; post haste. No time for rehabilitation and forgiveness.
If Weiner’s unfortunate dilemma had occurred-let’s say-in late 2009 or early 2010, approximately a year ago, the hypos-demos would not be singing the same tune: You must go! Resign now! So you see, amigos, TIMING IS EVERYTHING. Pure and simple political calculations on the hypos-demos standpoint as if the US American voting public-overall-give a damn. I don’t; as long as he is executing his duties for the betterment of the USA and his constituents. Plus, his lewd actions were between and among consenting adults anyway. So what’s the problem? Oh yea, his poor wife-of course- is experiencing pain and suffering. And a more darker side of the scenario her being pregnant; which impacts more negatively on the Congressman’s image. But again, reality check, is between him and her, and NY voters because, apparently, there were no laws broken.
So he resigns for sake of expediency and for the good of the Democratic Party. What a f-ing joke! The demos unlike the republican that stick with their own, threw one of their own-literally-under the train. As Pat Buchanan stated: The demos actually threw water in a drowning man's face. Shamelessly and a clear demonstration of lack of intestinal fortitude. In simpler terms, NO BACKBONE!
A word to the unwise demos: The next election will be about JOBS, STUPID! Not about some congressman's sex scandal. Also focus will be on the execution and continuation of unnecessary, costly and endless wars..............; the list does not end there. Further, the next election will probably become a long overdue referendum on the hypos-demos not having backbone to do what has to be done to get this wonderful country, USA, back on track. And the list goes on and on.......
One question to the voting public,irregardless of your political affiliation: When will "you/we" stop putting our politicians on pedestals, as if they are gods, and finally realize that they are only HUMAN with strengths and weaknesses-same as you and me. Not to mention the fact that some previous administration officials committed far worst infractions of the public's trust than Representative Weiner's sexing scandal. You know such as taking the USA to war in Iraq based on contrived justifications and intentional lies, torturing prisoners and lying about it. yep, the list goes on and on.
This blogger and independent voter strongly feels that Congressman Weiner should be or should have been allowed to rehabilitate himself, repent and rekindle his Congressional career. Besides isn’t his First Amendment Rights being violated? Is this not the country of forgiveness?
Who outed him anyway, and why? What was their motive? But that's another story in itself, for another time. Bottom line: I am fed up with the blatant hypocrisy that is being perpetrated on the US American public by politicians .
December Review: Afghanistan War Is a Failure****President Obama: Bring Our Soldiers Home!
______________________________________________________________
OBAMA! Bring Our Soldiers Home! They've Been Gone Much Too long!
______________________________________________________________
A protest video-song dedicated to the brave women and men serving in both Iraq and Afghanistan, to their families and veterans as well who are actually the ones bearing the brunt of a flawed-macho foreign policy. Thus, the composition of this song was inspired by the on-going debate among the US presidential candidates and their pundits over whether US troops in Iraq, in particular, should be withdrawn on a specific timetable or remain indefinitely-until the job is done(?). However, the issue is not about who is right or wrong in this highly emotional and never-ending discussion, but rather who is paying the highest price and ultimate sacrifice in a war that was unnecessary and "never should have been.
"
LYRICS! SING ALONG!
BRING OUR SOLDIERS HOME! They've Been Gone Much Too Long!
Six long years have passed, fighting a war
our leaders said wouldn't last
A war based on propaganda, shades of truths and lies
Our soldiers are dying across the seas in foreign lands
From the sandy deserts of Iraq, to the rugged mountains of Afghanistan
Bring our soldiers home (Refrain)
They've been gone much, much too long
Bring our soldiers home
Back to their motherland, family and friends
Back from a war that has no end
A war that should never have been
Brave soldiers dying while politicians go on lying
They say: “It's all for a worthy cause"
But when truth unfolds, the whole world knows,
it's all about black gold
The hypocrites heads are deep, deep in sand
But they sure in the hell are not in Iraq nor Afghanistan
Bring our soldiers home
They've been gone much, much too long
Bring our soldiers home
Back to their motherland, family and friends
Back from a war that has no end
A war that should never, never have been
Why must leaders always seek enemies?
Instead of searching for peace and harmony?
And when will they learn that some wars you just can't
win? For you see!
No army has ever conquered determined minds of men,
with strong will that lies deep within
But a new day is coming!
I can see over the horizon, new leaders arising
No more will war be first choice, the whole wide world
shall rejoice
And all the seas will be calm
Because a brand new day, yea, will have come
Bring our soldiers home
They've been gone much, much too long
Bring our soldiers home
Back to their motherland, family and friends
Back from a war that has no end
A war that should never, never have been
Ad Lib)
I can hear the children crying now
They're calling for their mommies and daddies to
come back home
They're crying for them to bring a teddy bear
Mommy, daddy when are you coming home?
Will you be home for Christmas?
Will you bring me a teddy bear mommy?
Oh I miss you so much, I love you dearly too

I am a news enthusiast, in that I must know what is going on around me-near and far. I am interested in local, national and international events. I lived overseas for fourteen years, so quite naturally I take special interest in the various countries I had fortune of visiting and living in during my tour of duty with the U.S. Air Force..
