What can we do now about Ukraine?

First we need a president with a backbone and not bow down to the environmentalist for political votes.   

We need to complete the pipe line from Canada.  We need to open drilling in Federal lands that his administration has not approved.  All the increase in energy production has come from private lands.  We are the biggest producer of natural gas in the world and this will increase as we continue drilling and fracking.   Instead of investing in failed companies like Solyndra, we need tax incentives for companies to promote automobiles that can run safely on natural gas.  Together with all gas stations installing natural gas pump stations for vehicles would be a start.  Next, promote better hybrids and vehicles that can run on batteries and get over 1000 miles on a charge.  Already the Tesla can go 300 miles and a charge time of 8 hours.  This is the direction we must go.  Increasing oil and gas production would reduce the price of energy worldwide and this would have an adverse affect on the economy of Russia.  We can also be an exporter of natural gas to Europe lessening their dependence on Russia.  Also, help those European countries that can produce energy through fracking is another way to promote independence.   

Think about this.  In 1969 we put a man on the moon with technology that is 45 year old compared to today.  How many of us would take the chance to go to the moon with that technology or would you rather go with today's technology.  We had men of courage then and we need that perseverance in the pursuit of energy today and alternative energy tomorrow.  We can do it, but we need a backbone in the White House and Congress.  Something we do not have.  We would all love to meet our energy needs with alternative sources than we have today, but until that is accomplished, we need to secure all the energy we have in the ground today.   Today, oil and gas, tomorrow, who knows.   

We are a can do people unless our government puts up roadblocks through regulations restricting incentives.  If we do not do it, you can rest assured someone else will.  Our loss their gain.  Control energy and you have better control of what happens in the world.  Putin knows this and that is why he pushed for pipelines through Ukraine to the rest of Europe and now you see the end result.  The EU is handcuffed. 

Ukraine and President Obama

Peace through strength was the mantra of the Reagan administration, but under the Obama administration is world havoc through weakness.  When you show weakness through your dealings with Iran, Egypt, Libya, Syria and apologize for the United States in your world travels, you cannot be surprised by what Putin is doing.  The whole world knows that President Obama is all talk, uses good rhetoric but they also know talk is cheap and actions speak louder than words.  This is what happens when you elect a community organizer who has no world experience, business experience and surrounds himself with like ilk.  If you are a world leader that is an adversary against the United States, now is the time to take action and expand your influence and using military action will not be met with any likewise action.  But you can rest assured that President Obama will speak out against such action and then go out and play a round of golf.  

What people in this country do not understand that for the past 5 years our president has shown no backbone, has been extremely indecisive on the world stage in responding to situations and this affects both out enemies and friends.  Those countries that have been supporters of us for years are now hesitant in doing anything since they now realize the US has a weak leader that makes former Pres. Jimmy Carter look like Gen. Patton when it comes to the world stage in responding to world situations.  Whether one wishes to believe it or not, what happens globally, has repercussions in this country.   

So, if President Obama showed wisdom and had a backbone when addressing world issues, Putin would have hesitated in invading the Ukraine.  If Putin wants to, he could march all the way to Paris without a response from our president.  He knows it, Pres. Obama knows it and sadly, the world knows it.  

So, where does this leave Israel.  You had better believe, Israel will defend it self and not allow any country to steamroll over them and if that means using nuclear weapons, they will use them since their model is "Never Again", while Pres. Obama's model is "Please don't embarrass me, I will give you anything you want". 

This is what happens when you elect liberal progressives whose ideology borders on socialist/Marxism and they take control of government and all aspects of our lives.  We see this with Obamacare, Fast and Furious, IRS, NSA spying on US citizens, AP scandal, DOJ and the FCC trying to enter the news room with the intent to control what is reported.  That was and still is this administration's attempt to control what is and is not said about them.  This is what we see in Cuba, Venezuela, Russia, China and North Korea as well as other socialist/Marxist countries where freedom is what the government says it is. 

Regardless of your political affiliation, our constitution is our most important document and the Bill of Rights, the first 10 amendments some of the most important contained in that document.  Something this administration and their followers detest.  Of course, I might add, many republicans are not far behind this thinking.  As Thomas Jefferson once said, "Power Corrupts" and we have allowed this to fester in our elected officials for over 100 years.  Actually, the downhill respect for out constitution started with Pres. Teddy Roosevelt was accelerated with Pres. Woodrow Wilson and it has bee all downhill ever since.  However, all is not lost as many states are beginning to awaken and are starting to realize that they can call for a Constitutional Convention of states and with the vote of 38 states, pass amendments to the constitution.  Something both parties fear and if both parties fear this, you can rest assured it is a step in the right direction to right the ship.  Three amendments that should be passed immediately are, term limits, balance budget and repeal of the 17th amendment.  The 17th amendment is something you will have to read to know why and the corresponding Federalist paper.  I could tell you, but it is better if you read the constitution to fully understand what we had and why we must get it back before it is too late.  

 The election this fall may well be our last free election since the DOJ and this administration are interfering with the election process. 

Then we must search for and elect a president that has the knowledge, skills and intelligence to address world issues as well as domestic issues.  Right now, contrary to what some may think, it will not come from anyone associated, past or present, with this administration.  The only candidate I see that has these skills is former Congressman Alan West. But we know he is not a favorite of the Republican establishment and is considered by the democrats as an Uncle Tom.  The world is exploding and as much as we would like to address our domestic issues and problems, what happens around the world does affect us domestically.  We can be energy self-sufficient very quickly, but fhis administration puts of roadblocks to oil and gas exploration and we are only successful when we explore on private lands while this administration continues to push for green energy failures like Solyndra where taxpayer money was used to pay back his political supporters.  And we might add where some of this money made its way back into the democratic pockets.  If you think all the money spent on the Obamacare website (approx. $650 Million) was used just for developing a site that many experts claimed could have been done for no more than $10 million, I know of ocean front property in Nebraska and a bridge in Brooklyn for sale.  The CEO of this company based in Canada was a school mate of Michele Obama.   Nothing to see here. 

Wake up America and realize as this country goes, so does the world.  We are the only world superpower whether we like it or not, and if we continue down the Obama path, we will become another has been as the world crumples around us.  

So what do we do about Ukraine.  Actually there is not much we can do now since we have shown 5 years of weakness except take appropriate action about removing membership in the G8 and G20 and restricting travel to the US and other EU countries doing the same.  But, if I am not mistaken, Russia sends oil and gas into Europe so the EU can shoot themselves in the foot.  We must make things difficult for Russia in economic areas as they have serious domestic issues and we should exploit that weakness with the cooperation of other countries.  Payback can be a bitch if we play our cards right.  But then again, we are talking about Pres. Obama here.

 

If you do not know history…………….

So Connecticut is now requiring people to register their guns and those that have not are receiving letters telling them they are in violation of Connecticut law.  Of course the 2nd Amendment has no meaning to Democrats and the liberal socialist that are doing this in this state as well as other states.  The Obama administration would love to enact gun registration nationwide.  That is why under Obamacare they want doctors to ask if you have a gun at home because if the Obama government looks at your medical records they will decide if you are medical fit to own a gun.  Another way around the 2nd Amendment to disarm the citizens.  And don't think for one minute that this is not their agenda.  Hitler did this in Germany under the pretense that this way they can protect the citizens right to own a firearm.  However, once they had the registration list, they began to take guns away from the Jews and then the rest of the citizens.  Remember what Thomas Jefferson said.  A government that fears the people has democracy and a people that fear the government is tyranny.  You decide where we are heading.  President Obama has said back around 2006 that the Bill of Rights are negative rights so they are not given by government, but as our Founders believed they are God given rights.  He believes government should give these rights and we all know, what government gives, government can take and do think for one minute that Obama and the DOJ would not go after your weapons in a heartbeat.  Government has less to fear from a disarmed citizenry.   

Also, if one remembers about a year ago the Obama administration attempted to control all communications by performing a test to shut down communication as part of a better way to communicate with the citizens in the event of an emergency.  Now this all stemmed from what the Obama administration witnessed in Egypt where social media, and other forms of internet communication were used to alert the population what was happening and where to go to participate in the movement.  This avoided the propaganda that the government was issuing through the news media.  So, when the public awakens to the abuse of our constitution by government, especially by the Obama administration, and then this administration will have the ability to shut down all communication and leave the public in the dark on what is happening, except what they tell you.   

If you think this is off the wall thinking, then just look as how the present news media are spinning the Obama talking points today.  The news media was suppose to be a protector of our constitution by reporting on the abuse by our elected officials.  If they actually did their job honestly, Eric Holder would be in jail, Lois Lerner would be in jail and President Obama would be impeached as well as other members of this administration.   

Everything this administration does is right out of the Saul Alinsky Rules for Radicals.  Set your goal and you get there by any means possible.  Obama's goal is to transform this country from a Republic form of government to a government controlled country where he and his followers will tell us what we can and cannot do.  That is why they are and have been attacking any and all members of their opposition in personal attacks or phony investigations.  This administration is slowly tightening the net and unless everyone speaks out, you will find yourself silenced forever.  Unless of course everything you say is supportive of this administration.  Your choice.  Do your own research and take time out to actually think on what has been happening over the last 5 year and draw your own conclusions.    

Have you ever notice.........................

Have you ever notice how liberals, progressives, socialist and such ilk cannot defend their position on issues when someone else speaks out against their point of view.  Today it is Charles Krauthammer, yesterday it was Sarah Palin, Romney, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Glenn Beck, Tea Party and any other person, company, organization or group that disagrees with them.  Today, global warming or climate change, if you believe in that crap, yesterday, President Obama and his administration and the positions they take.  These people attack and viciously attack their opposition personally and not what their opposition says.  Defending their lies is not possible.  Just like the lies President Obama used in supporting Obamacare, where the president was taking to defend his statements, but these so called far left leaning liberals called those people racist.  In fact everyone who disagrees with this president is called a racist unless of course you are black, then you are called an Uncle Tom or a puppet for the opposition.  They cannot defend the indefensible but they will try to silence the opposition by using the DOJ, IRS, EPA and other agencies.  How dare we accuse them of misleading the public with their lies.    

As Joseph Goebbels, the minister of Nazi propaganda said, "If you tell a lie often enough, people will believe it".  Think about that and what this administration has been doing and saying.  Of course we all know it is easy to convince 50% of the dumb, uninformed, low information voters of anything.  Just watching video reports of voters being asked questions proves that.    However, those who are educated will be silent no more.  If we do not speak out, then enjoy the transformation of our country from a Republic form of government to a socialist, Marxist form of government where government dictates what we can and cannot not do.   

If you want to know what that is like just look around at the collapse of the Soviet Union, Cuba and Venezuela today plus what the people in the Ukraine are fighting against.  Government does not and can not create jobs or run businesses or industry.  That is what We The People do.  If you have no idea what living under socialism, Marxism or communism and how great they are in running a business, then you should find and read the Gulag Archipelago , by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn written in 1974. But, we know the academics in this administration believe they can do it better and Lenin, Stalin, Khruschev, Mao, Castro and Hugo Chavez did not do it right and they know better.  Just trust us.

And these people vote

We now know how Obama got elected

Climate Change compared to Terrorism?

So Secretary of State John Kerry compares so called climate change, global warming or whatever they wish to call it, to terrorism.  I would rather believe John Kerry and the idiots he works with in the Obama administration are terrorist when they continue to push climate change.  It use to be global warming, but when they found that did not work, they chose climate changes since weather can change every day as those of us with 1/2 a brain know.  But when you can get snow one day, rain the next, ice storms after that and then a sudden temperature increase to 40 degrees shows to them that there is climate change.  Of course most of know this is normal, unless you lived most of your life in a cave or on another planet.  However, when your knowledge of the world come out of books and lectures for radical professors and not from actual life experiences, you can expect such stupidity.   

So the president travels to California to push his climate change agenda and blaming the drought conditions on climate change, when again most people know the water shortage for the farmers is brought about by federal legislation, specifically from the EPA where because of a small fish known as the delta smelt may be endangered, the EPA restricted flow of water to farmers.  Yet the president gives his speech and then goes out and plays golf on courses that use water to keep them green.  Golf courses yes, farmers no.  Hypocrisy, you decide.

Don't be surprised if...................................

Don't be surprised if after the Olympics are closed and things get back to normal in Russia, whatever that is, that Putin sends troops into the Ukraine claiming he was only complying with the Ukraine president's request to assist in squashing the unsettling conditions in the country.  Since the current president is a puppet of Putin's, this would not be unexpected since Putin would like to see the former Iron Curtain countries come back under his control.  Don't forget he was a high level member of the KGB and finds freedom in bordering countries unsettling since it could spill over into Russia.  He did this in Georgia a few years ago and we did nothing then and will do nothing if this happens.  Words do not frighten Putin.
