Obama; Revelation or Revolution?

   Welcome to the war Mr. President. I know your tail feathers are still on full display after the party we threw for you, but you need to put the champagne away. I heard you say many things in your address, but so far the only people that actually pull off the stunts you spoke of did not do it under the flag of a nation like ours. The individuals that pull off revolution on a mass scale have to be both unified and bold. These people start with an idea, then organize and execute until their purpose is served. You might get away with censoring us, taxing us out of existence, or rounding up dissenters to fill your camps, but if you do, there will be swarms of true US citizens fighting against you.
   I hope that the "gridlock" stays firmly rooted in your town. You will be strangled by those stubborn, one dimensional pricks in Congress for another four years. They hate you and your ideas. Policy is a thing of the past, and until your branch, and the others surpass gridlock and move toward complete paralysis, you will see nothing achieved. We take the reigns then.
   Most of your constituents (yes, you have three hundred million people to answer to) miss the message you try to bury in you words. You are speaking through the mouth of of revelation, but you are calling for revolution. Of course you would never want blood and anger to be part of this movement you are attempting, but the further you pull away from our law, the closer you drive us to the brink of truly designing our own system. The framework has already been written, and it is still the most perfect system. It's called The Constitution. Every time you step on it, it becomes real again, and we will re-instate what has already been paid for in blood. Please don't take us there again. 
   If revolution is what you desire, you will get it. The flaw in your thinking is that we will never fall in line with Washington or any institution who seeks to destroy this experiment that is America. We do not need an impotent cheerleader leading the charge. You forget that for every poor, uneducated soul in this country, there are ten educated patriots standing in front of them. We will protect them, not your policy.
   There is a debate burning as to who or what you represent; that debate is over. You inadvertently showed us what is underneath your jacket. You are not an empty suit, you are a substantial wreck of a politician, acting like a child with full access to the country's wealth. Your dreamy lies of re-distribution is no more than a re-distribution of wealth to yourself and the hacks of Congress.
   None of you are safe. None of you will will maintain your lifestyles on our dime, through our sweat. We have been building an empire, and you are dismantling it before our eyes. Thank you for teaching us how to organize our communities. We will snatch your drones, and your "non-profit" gang of enforcers away too. Mr. Obama, you are neither a revelator nor a revolutionary. You and your Congress will ultimately lose.

Intervention

I had a neighbor once, who over time became a friend. This is what I learned of him and from him over the course of five years. He went to the most elite private schools in the city, and attended The University of Alabama. He was the heir apparent to his father's insurance business, and like his parents, belonged to high society. He was married to a judge's daughter, and they had two daughters together. His life was what most would consider great. He had everything a man  could ever wish into being. His only problem was a lingering taste for alcohol that was a large part of college life, and also the life of society. Like most, a minor drinking problem was not hard to hide; but only until it grew into an unmanageable force. By the time he knew that his drinking had become a problem, his wife had already taken her heart back and given it to another. It was a classic case of being physically present but emotionally absent. He was none the wiser until his wife presented him with

Representation 101

On April 19, 2013 I wrote my U.S. Representative, Jo Bonner (R) a letter containing questions about CISPA (H.R. 624). I generally expect to recieve a form letter in return for my thoughts, but this time I got something a little better. I read over the bill after it had flown through the House, and while it was still on a few American minds. My questions were based on the following: Page 10 - line 5-24 "Federal Government in accordance with subsection (b)- (A) for cyber security purposes; (B) for the investigation and prosecution of cyber security crimes (C) for the protection of individuals from the danger of death or serious bodily harm and the investigation and prosecution of crimes involving such danger of death or serious bodily harm; (D) for the protection of minors from child pornography, any risk of sexual exploitation, and serious threats to the physical safety of minors, including kidnapping and trafficking and the investigation and prosecution of crimes involving c

U.S. vs. Iran: What are we missing?

There is constant chatter and media alarm in the US concerning Iran. As usual, we are fed the information that is not only one-sided, but is mostly a smoke bomb hiding many of the fouls that we have commited against a country that is not very different from some of our "allies" in the region. Actually, the media has made a conscious decision to ignore the facts, and keep them distorted for propaganda reasons. Iran and the US have an ugly history and today, the history has turned to a selective dismantling of a potentially great nation. Iran, and the region it was born in began around 3,200 BCE. Iran reigns as one of the oldest, major continuous civilizations. America on the other hand was established around 1776. That means that a culture, effectively five thousand years older than ours has an edge, and is certainly more well defined. Even our European counterparts can't compete with that. Iranian culture, though battered and abused, remains intact, and that is much mor
