Imagine, the PUNANNY State of Virginia headed by Governor BobMcDonnell and the other Right-Wing extremists, passed a bill – “mandating aninvasive procedure for women seeking an abortion, to undergo transvaginalultrasound involuntarily.” (See the diagram in the photo)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Ridiculed by comedians and savaged by opponents,the original version of the bill supported by McDonnell drew a large crowd ofprotesters to the State Capital in &lt;st1:city w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Richmond&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;earlier in the week.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;At the last moment, McDonnell who is a possibleVice President GOP contender and an abortion opponent, withdrew his support andasked for changes in the bill. Make no mistake, Governor McDonnell did not havea change of heart due to conscience, but his recanting of his previousposition, is strictly political.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Governor McDonnell and all of the Right-Wing Extremistsacross our great land, their objective is to always make women “second classcitizens; control women’s vaginas; women’s sex lives; women’s equality and allthat make these egregious, pernicious, chauvinists, the “Dick-Heads” that theyare! &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Just take a good look at the remaining GOPPresidential Contenders! Rick Santorum, America’s small town “Mullah,” who isconsidered too Catholic even by Catholic standards, believes that America’stroubles stem from men and women having sex for reasons other than procreation;people involved in same-sex relationships; women using contraception or havingparental testing; environmentalists who Santorum claims elevate “the Earthabove man;” women working outside the home; and President Obama whom heobliquely and oddly compared to Hitler and also accused the President of having“some phony theology.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;If you consider Santorum’s remarks, he should bein the Middle-East, identifying himself for whom he really is, a ReligiousJihadist! Just imagine how far down the abyss we have fallen when you seeFranklin Graham, heinously doubting President Obama’s Christian faith on MSNBCearlier in the week. (This is truly sad, because &lt;st1:city w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Franklin&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;’s father, the Great Reverend BillyGraham that is respected by the world, never in his seventy plus years ofpreaching the Gospel, questioned anyone’s faith.) &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Santorum who disagrees with the 1965 SupremeCourt’s Decision striking down a “ban on contraception,” insisted thatcontraception is “not O.K. It’s a license to do things in a sexual realm thatis counter to how things are supposed to be.” &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;I do believe that despite Rick Santorum beingmarried and have seven children, somewhere in his life – “a woman’s vaginabecame his perpetual Scarecrow, in his sick and demented mind!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://wp.me/p1wG70-9S"&gt;http://wp.me/p1wG70-9S&lt;/a&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Bickham Script Pro Semibold&amp;quot;; font-size: 20.0pt;"&gt;SheriffG Ali&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5361602701813792204-7986442090250968841?l=sheriffali.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sheriffali.blogspot.com/feeds/7986442090250968841/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sheriffali.blogspot.com/2012/02/vaginal-intrusion-by-governor-dick-head.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5361602701813792204/posts/default/7986442090250968841'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5361602701813792204/posts/default/7986442090250968841'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sheriffali.blogspot.com/2012/02/vaginal-intrusion-by-governor-dick-head.html' title='Vaginal Intrusion by Governor – DICK-HEAD – Bob McDonnell, Virginia; with the other Right-Wing Extremists, wants to invade your Vagina!'/><author><name>sheriffali</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01805030341367100338</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Avu3IXyw4Ks/S6XcwshBy0I/AAAAAAAAAAM/glGALWMrBWk/S220/S+ALI+-EUROPE.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EmWGUejQ-AY/T0XbAnZP4AI/AAAAAAAAA0Q/bO6nMfqXYas/s72-c/TRANSVAGINAL+ULTRASOUND.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5361602701813792204.post-4892367048994348359</id><published>2012-02-19T20:36:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-02-19T20:36:32.806-08:00</updated><title type='text'>“Newt, you fat sack of potato, put me down, put me down.”</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3xDYi_T34Do/T0HNn8IJTrI/AAAAAAAAAys/OFw8HrCLF5c/s1600/MITT+ROMNEY+PAY+BACK.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="206" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3xDYi_T34Do/T0HNn8IJTrI/AAAAAAAAAys/OFw8HrCLF5c/s320/MITT+ROMNEY+PAY+BACK.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;On a 12-hour trip to &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Canada&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; with his family, Mitt Romneytied his dog an Irish setter named Seamus, to the roof of his car.

And when the bills came due in 2009, they claim it was Obama’s fault and tried to use the lifting of the debt ceiling as a wedge issue on our ballooning National Debt. They wanted then and now to cut, gut and destroy &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;’s safety net for the Poor, Elderly and our Children’s education and give more tax breaks to the wealthiest 2%. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;I think that the Republicans in their desperation of having no bona fide Candidate believe that &lt;b&gt;“if they lie big enough and long enough, the lie would become the truth.” &lt;/b&gt;Lies can never become truth no matter who tells it or how many people promulgate it!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;I am qualified to make this statement and that is;

Remember Michele Bachman’s winning of the silly “straw-poll” that lead her to say; “Barack Obama would be a one term President and I am going to replace him and be your next President and take back our country.” Shocking, positively shocking, isn’t it? I did not know that anyone had taken our country from us, did you?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;The Fictional President they have created according to these deranged people have taken our country and ran up a fifteen trillion dollar debt; his policies have cost us fourteen million jobs; his foreign policy of apology has weaken our Nation; Obama is America’s largest food-stamp President; and yes, they go on and one into the abyss. Had I not have a mind of my own to dissect fact from fiction, I could have easily become one of the nut cases that support these people.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;FACT&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;: During the last year (2008) of former President George W. Bush’s Presidency, we were losing 750,000 jobs per month and that continued into January 2009 when Obama was sworn in as President. Even then Bush’s policies were still in effect and it took Obama several months to implement his Policies and since June of 2009 to the present time, job loses stopped and we have been gaining jobs every month. Of course it is not as fast as we would like it to be, but it is much better than what is was under Bush. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;As for the Economy, our entire financial system had crumbed by September 2008, due to Bush’s irresponsible invasion of Iraq when we were already actively at War in Afghanistan, and if that wasn’t bad enough, Bush and the Republican controlled House and Senate passed two enormous egregious tax cuts that only favored America’s top 2%.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;When George W. Bush left office on January 20, 2009, he and his cronies had spent the entire surplus and added five trillion dollars to our National Debt and in addition, the two wars and the two tax cuts weren’t paid for, and yes without a doubt we were heading into the abyss to become another Russia when the Soviet Union collapsed. And yet, these parasitic vultures, these WANT-TO-BE-PRESIDENT, with impunity, they exclaim each and every day, that &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;’s troubles are solely the fault of President Obama.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;The only thing that is sadder than these morons that seek the Presidency is the American people that are following them down the road of perdition! I say to you America, wake up, think about your life prior to 2001 and then meditate upon Bush’s eight years as President with his Republican House and Senate, and be at least truthful to thine own self and admit, “we were screwed, tattooed and blued,” by the same people you reinstalled in Office in 2010 and that you are entertaining to again take control of the Presidency!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;In your contemplation, meditate upon God and not the divisiveness of all of the MAN MADE RELIGIONS that have dogged us with impunity, since the inception of man!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:

John McCain is a War Hero and a Prisoner of War in &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;Vietnam&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and I would always respect him for his service to &lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;, but make no mistake, John McCain is a “war-monger!” McCain would involve us in every conflict all over the world. McCain complains about the National Debt but yet he wanted us to keep our Soldiers in Iraq after they have been there for eight years at a cost in lives of 4,500; wounded, tens of thousands; mental problems thirty thousand and counting; cost in Dollars – A Trillion Dollars and counting.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;John Bolton&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt; (Former &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;US&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; Ambassador to the UN in the George W.

This lunatic is highly critical of President Obama’s foreign Policy, even though under Bolton and Bush’s stewardship, they mangled both Wars; couldn’t contain &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;North Korea&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;; &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;Iran&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;; &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Libya&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and the other despots that have fallen over the past year. &amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Richard Haas,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt; one of George W.

(He was aligning the 2003 Iraq pending invasion to Israel 1967 SIX DAY WAR, in which Israel was the Victor) &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;These people are the supporters of Mitt Romney along with so many others that are responsible for the financial catastrophe from 2001-2008. If Romney gets his hands on our finances, he along with Wall Street and the financial “prostitutes” that raped and pilferage &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;’s wealth and incinerated our Housing Market, would do worst than the Bush years.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;America&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;, you are a good and decent people but you have been asleep and complacent. Yes, you are indeed complacent because you reinstalled the Republicans in the Mid-Term 2010 Elections and placed them in control of the House of Representatives. Just look at their record for “all” of 2011. They, the Republican House and Senate fought the Obama Administration every step of the way by protecting the upper 2%, WHILE SCREWING THE OTHER 98%,&amp;nbsp; every which way possible! Just to approve the renewal of the Tax Cuts at the end of 2011 for 160,000,000 hard working Americans, they did everything possible to deny you that right and in the end, they only renewed it for two months. You can be sure at this very moment they are tapping every soothsayer to find ways to “screw” you out of extending your Tax Cuts, that is due for renewal at the end of February, 2012. Ask yourself, why couldn’t they extend your Tax Cuts for 2012 as they should have?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;I am no “mouth-piece” for Obama or anyone else, but I say to you, install another Republican to the White House in 2012; allow the House of Representatives to remain in control by the Republicans; and leave the Republicans to hold on to at lest forty-one Senate seats that would allow them to filibuster every benefit you rightly deserve, and perish you would!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Or, allow President Obama to complete what he started and you would have a future for yourself; your children, and the generations to come. All of the nonsense that are being spewed that Obama ran our country into the ground is utter nonsense. Remember, the Republicans initiated both wars; The Republicans authorized two irresponsible Tax Cuts; The Republicans ran every thing from 2001 thru 2008 and left us with two unfinished wars; a collapse financial system; job loses in the millions that ran at a 800,000 job loss from the inception of 2008 until June of 2009. Since June of 2009 when Obama’s Policies were implemented, the hemorrhaging of job loses stopped and we have been creating jobs since then. Of course more jobs are needed, but when you consider where we were in 2008 to where we are today, one would have to be blind, dumb and stupid to think that we are worse off! The Dow Jones on December 31 2008 closed at 8776.39, as of Friday January 13, 2012 The Dow Jones Closed at 12,422.06.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;O! &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;! Do not allow yourself to be duped by the Republicans phantasmagoric rationales and internecine ideas for which they are advocating with impunity, just to have you become more emotionally disturbed than you already have!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Bickham Script Pro Semibold'; font-size: 20pt;"&gt;Sheriff G Ali&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5361602701813792204-5189322442804133566?l=sheriffali.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sheriffali.blogspot.com/feeds/5189322442804133566/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sheriffali.blogspot.com/2012/01/most-frightening-thought-that-would.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5361602701813792204/posts/default/5189322442804133566'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5361602701813792204/posts/default/5189322442804133566'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sheriffali.blogspot.com/2012/01/most-frightening-thought-that-would.html' title='A most frightening “thought” that would become an ongoing “nightmare” to all Americans!'/><author><name>sheriffali</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01805030341367100338</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Avu3IXyw4Ks/S6XcwshBy0I/AAAAAAAAAAM/glGALWMrBWk/S220/S+ALI+-EUROPE.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sHw8QghpSmw/TxPvyd1oe5I/AAAAAAAAAr0/bAxauVqcTwk/s72-c/ROMNEY-BOLTON-MC+CAIN.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5361602701813792204.post-155516392970953126</id><published>2012-01-14T23:49:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-14T23:49:51.885-08:00</updated><title type='text'>In a 5-4 decision, the right-wing politically charged U S Supreme Court, “really” stuck it to the American people!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-o9jFod-9I9E/TxKE_W5uv1I/AAAAAAAAArs/rhtly3IEjlk/s1600/U+S+SUPREME+COURT+JUSTICES+01-2010.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="206" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-o9jFod-9I9E/TxKE_W5uv1I/AAAAAAAAArs/rhtly3IEjlk/s320/U+S+SUPREME+COURT+JUSTICES+01-2010.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;The U S Supreme Court January 21, 2010 (5-4) decision, that struck down McCain-Finegold Campaign Finance, allowed money to further corrupt our democracy, hence the result of the now damming out-of-control “SUPER-PACS!”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Brushing aside more than a century-old understanding and overruling two important precedents, the bitterly divided U S Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision January 21, 2010, the highly charged “right-wing;” politically charged Justices allowed Politics, rather than what is best for our Country, to make this most unfortunate decision. Using the First Amendment to the Constitution as “cover,” the right-wing court ruled that the Government may not ban political spending by Corporations in candidates’ elections.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;The Dissenters said that “allowing corporate money to flood the political marketplace will corrupt democracy.” This statement became fact when the 2010 Mid-Term Elections were held, and it has become even more parasitic in this year’s Presidential Election. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Just look at the result of Congress Achievements in 2011, and if that wasn’t already bad enough, the GOP Presidential Candidates are using “SUPER-PACS” to denigrate their rivals with not just misnomers, but “out-right lies,” such as Mitt Romney’s Super Pac did to Newt Gingrich. Be sure and know I totally disagree with Gingrich on just about everything, but on the other hand, because of the Supreme Court’s January 21, 2010 decision, total out-right lies were fed to the people of &lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:state w:st="on"&gt;Iowa&lt;/st1:state&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; on behalf of Mitt Romney. When Romney was confronted about what the SUPER PAC was doing in his name, he took the position that there wasn’t anything he could do about the lies that were being spewed, but now that he has come under attack in &lt;st1:state w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;South Carolina&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:state&gt;, he is whining like the sniffling odoriferous he is!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;But as the saying goes; “be careful what you wish for because you might get it and it would sooner rather than later, return to bite you in the ass!” The effort to overturn the well thought out McCain-Finegold Finance Bill was propelled by the Republicans and their cohorts. However, now that it has bitten them they are complaining how unjust it is! &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;President Obama issued this statement subsequent to the Supreme Court’s ruling;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;“With its ruling today, the Supreme Court has given a green light to a new stampede of special interest money in our politics.

Joyful is the prospect, and if faith be in active exercise, it will yield unalloyed delight. To be with Jesus in the rest which remaineth for the people of God, is cheering hope indeed, and to expect this glory so soon is a double bliss. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Unbelief shutters at the &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Jordan&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; which still rolls between us and the goodly land, but let us rest assured that we have already experienced more ills than death at its worst can cause us. Let us banish every fearful thought, and rejoice with exceeding great joy, in the prospect that this year [2012], we shall begin to be “for ever with the Lord.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;A part of the host will this year tarry on earth, to do service for their Lord. If this should fall to our lot, there is no reason why the New Year’s text (above) should not still be true. “We who have believed do enter into rest.” The Holy Spirit is the earnest of our inheritance; He gives us “glory begun below.” In heaven they are secure, and so are we preserved in Christ Jesus; there they triumph over their enemies, and we have victories too.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Celestial spirits enjoy communion with their Lord, and this is not denied to us; they rest in His love, and we have perfect peace in Him: they hymn His praise, and it is our privilege to bless Him too. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;We will this year [2012], gather celestial fruits on earthly ground, where faith and hope have made the desert like the garden of the Lord. Man did eat angel’s food of old, and why not now? O for grace to feed on Jesus, and so eat of the fruit of the &lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:placetype w:st="on"&gt;land&lt;/st1:placetype&gt; of &lt;st1:placename w:st="on"&gt;Canaan&lt;/st1:placename&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; this year, [2012].&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Bickham Script Pro Semibold&amp;quot;; font-size: 20.0pt;"&gt;Sheriff G Ali&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5361602701813792204-4972343631485288860?l=sheriffali.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sheriffali.blogspot.com/feeds/4972343631485288860/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sheriffali.blogspot.com/2011/12/we-will-this-year-2012-gather-celestial.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5361602701813792204/posts/default/4972343631485288860'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5361602701813792204/posts/default/4972343631485288860'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sheriffali.blogspot.com/2011/12/we-will-this-year-2012-gather-celestial.html' title='We will this year [2012], gather celestial fruits on earthly ground, where faith and hope have made the desert like the garden of the Lord…'/><author><name>sheriffali</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01805030341367100338</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Avu3IXyw4Ks/S6XcwshBy0I/AAAAAAAAAAM/glGALWMrBWk/S220/S+ALI+-EUROPE.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5obx5vV9Azg/TwANvmgcdBI/AAAAAAAAApY/by2a66CXEHU/s72-c/CELESTIAL+FRUITS+JAN+01+12+-+3.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5361602701813792204.post-4453880417273668748</id><published>2011-12-30T21:29:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-30T21:29:38.184-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Our 2012, New Year’s Prayer - Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wtssHZyjjdc/Tv6dob71r2I/AAAAAAAAApM/sJD7blkJqTA/s1600/PHOTOS+-+2011+HERON-BIRD.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="173" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-wtssHZyjjdc/Tv6dob71r2I/AAAAAAAAApM/sJD7blkJqTA/s320/PHOTOS+-+2011+HERON-BIRD.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Bless the Lord O my soul: and all that is within me bless Your Holy name.

They are so blinded in their hate mongering for everything about President Obama, that these fools would initiate another war over the Drone, when it may very well be, that the CIA that are conducting Intelligence Gathering about Iran’s Nuclear ambitions, may have had the Drone doctored with high-tech gadgets to see and hear inside of Iran’s sealed off military areas, where it is impossible for us to otherwise do so.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;I do not hesitate for a minute in regards to what I suggested above because it is this same President that spent much time with his Military Advisors, in the planning of the invasion that killed Osama Bin Laden.

I think he worked very hard at being the person who is normal, reasonable, moderate, bipartisan, transparent, accommodating – none of which was true.

If he wasn’t educated I wouldn’t call him “stupid,” but the fact that he is educated, he is stupid and then some. The Hebrew Lexicon has a word for Newt; &lt;b&gt;“NEBAL,”&lt;/b&gt; which means &lt;b&gt;“FOOL.” &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;The Republican’s lack of any "meaningful candidate” that could possibly be a challenge to President Obama is self evident. The GOP is only good at one thing and that is: “Permeating &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Narcissistic poisonous deluge!”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;People that use phantasmagoric rationales and internecine propaganda as a means to a deceitful end, result in tragedy.

The father asked his son to use the phone to call his wife (the boy’s mother) because it was the first night they were being apart after 40 years. When he asked his son to use the phone, the boy just walked away. Here is the son’s father, heartbroken; pangs and pines; went out into the rainy street to use the phone to call his wife.&amp;nbsp; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div

class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Their father had adopted a child that used to shine shoes and placed him in school. The boy did very well in school and went to &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;England&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and graduated there. He returned to &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;&lt;span class="yshortcuts"&gt;India&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and started a business. To this “boy,” his adopted father was “the image of who God is!” He got married and brought his adopted parents to their home. When you look at the short video you will see the photograph of their adopted parents. Amazing, because when his adopted parents saw this, their heart was happy and their heart was breaking as to how, their own children treated them like dirt, and this adopted son, saw them as God and Goddess! But I thought about it and thought about it, and my conclusion from my own experience in life tells me: &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;SUCH IS LIFE!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPUUKQjKxek&amp;amp;feature=related" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPUUKQjKxek&amp;amp;feature=related&lt;/a&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Bickham Script Pro Regular&amp;quot;; font-size: 20.0pt;"&gt;Sheriff G Ali&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5361602701813792204-456297582024932127?l=sheriffali.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sheriffali.blogspot.com/feeds/456297582024932127/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sheriffali.blogspot.com/2011/11/baghban-translates-care-taker.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5361602701813792204/posts/default/456297582024932127'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5361602701813792204/posts/default/456297582024932127'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sheriffali.blogspot.com/2011/11/baghban-translates-care-taker.html' title='BAGHBAN TRANSLATES “CARE-TAKER! “THE UNGRATEFULNESS OF CHILDREN”'/><author><name>sheriffali</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01805030341367100338</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Avu3IXyw4Ks/S6XcwshBy0I/AAAAAAAAAAM/glGALWMrBWk/S220/S+ALI+-EUROPE.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ILUj-8-L8hk/TtCx5IijywI/AAAAAAAAAjA/GXrHj2cdovY/s72-c/HEART-BROKEN+PARENTS.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5361602701813792204.post-6657895480283796582</id><published>2011-11-25T09:34:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-25T09:42:16.404-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Vice President Aaron Burr vs. Former Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton: the duel that shook the nation!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9jIoDTqxnwQ/Ts_Rds5qHKI/AAAAAAAAAiw/CAbipcQ4skc/s1600/POLITICIANS+-DUEL-+EYE+FOR+EYE.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="246" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9jIoDTqxnwQ/Ts_Rds5qHKI/AAAAAAAAAiw/CAbipcQ4skc/s320/POLITICIANS+-DUEL-+EYE+FOR+EYE.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 16pt;"&gt;After the Congressional Supercomittee failed to reconcile its difference on budget reduction this week, many disappointed citizen may have the urge to reminisce on &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;’s Golden Days.

Has grace gone through the very centre of thy being so as to be felt in its divine operations in all thy powers and thy actions, thy words and thy thoughts? To be sanctified, spirit, soul and body; should be our aim and prayer; and although sanctification may not be perfect in thee anywhere in degree, yet it must be universal in its action; there must not be the appearance of holiness in one place and reigning of sin in another, else we too, wilt be “a cake not turned.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;A cake not turned is soon burnt on the side nearest the fire, and although no one can have too much of God, there are some who seem burnt on black with bigoted zeal for that part of truth which they have received, or are charred to a cinder with a vainglorious Pharisaic Ostentation of those religious performances which suite their humor. The assumed appearance of superior sanctity frequently accompanies a total absence of all vital Godliness. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The saint in public is a devil in private!

He earned a PHD in Economics in &lt;st1:city w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;London&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; and seemed to have had in the past, much aspiration in helping his country to remove his father’s dysfunctional rule that kept the Libyan people in turmoil for forty-two years. But in the end he decided to collaborate with his father, in the further slaughter of the Libyan people that lead to the demise not only of his father but also, two of his brothers.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;I do not believe that the Libyan Government would send him to the International Criminal Court, but he would be tried in &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Libya&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; that would be witnessed by outside observers. However, the inevitable outcome for Saif al-Islam would be execution.

In his history we meet with trials and temptations not discovered, as a whole, in other saints of ancient times, and hence he is all the more suggestive a type of our Lord. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;David knew the trials of all ranks and conditions of men. Kings have their troubles, and David wore a crown: the peasant has cares, and David handled a shepherd’s crook: the wanderer has many hardships, and David, abode in the caves of Engedi: the captain has his difficulties, and David found the sons of Zeruiah too hard for him. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;The psalmist was also tried in his friends, his counselor Anithophel forsook him, “He that eateth bread with me, had lifted up his heel against me.” (Psalm 41) His worst foes were they of his own household: his children were his greatest affliction. The temptations of poverty and wealth, of honor and reproach, of health and weakness, all tried their power upon him. He had temptations from without to disturb his peace, and from within to mar his joy. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;David no sooner escaped from one trial than he fell into another; no sooner emerged from one season of despondency and alarm, then he was again brought into the lowest depths, and all God’s waves and billows rolled over him. It is probably from this cause that David’s psalms are so universally the delight of those that “truly” believes in God.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;Whatever our frame of mind, whether ecstasy or depression, David has exactly described our emotions. He was an able master of the human heart, because he had been tutored in the best of all schools – the school of heart-felt, personal experience. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;As we are instructed in the same school, as we grow matured in grace and in years, we increasingly appreciate David’s psalms, and find them to be “green pastures.” My soul, let David’s experience cheer and counsel me this day.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;For many people they make a calculated decision to join a particular religion or they were born into a respective religion. Many attend Churches, Mosques, Temples and what other form of worship they freely choose, but the question is how many people find “religion” and a house of worship that they attend, but “never” find that “Oneness” with God.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;You can find out if you have found religion or you have found God when affliction strikes. Affliction like God is no respecter of person, be it age, nationality, financial circumstances or anything that is part of this world that we live in. Death comes without any invitation and no amount of wealth can purchase even an additional second of life, for when your spirit (Spirit is derived from the Hebrew word meaning “breath”) is recalled, you must go, and naked as you came into the world, naked you shall go!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Bickham Script Pro Regular'; font-size: 20pt;"&gt;Sheriff G Ali&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5361602701813792204-6293752325603973085?l=sheriffali.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sheriffali.blogspot.com/feeds/6293752325603973085/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sheriffali.blogspot.com/2011/11/how-oft-do-they-with-golden-pinions.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5361602701813792204/posts/default/6293752325603973085'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5361602701813792204/posts/default/6293752325603973085'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sheriffali.blogspot.com/2011/11/how-oft-do-they-with-golden-pinions.html' title='How oft do they with golden pinions cleave The flitting skies, like flying pursuivant Against foul fiends to aid us militants!”'/><author><name>sheriffali</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01805030341367100338</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Avu3IXyw4Ks/S6XcwshBy0I/AAAAAAAAAAM/glGALWMrBWk/S220/S+ALI+-EUROPE.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-x4X_Y3nkSXg/TsfprtNbhjI/AAAAAAAAAh0/4iT_NVx6eDI/s72-c/ANGELS+-+DEFENDING+US.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5361602701813792204.post-2633681970267984953</id><published>2011-11-17T23:53:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-11-18T00:01:27.061-08:00</updated><title type='text'>The European Union Uncertainty and “The Woman Riding the Beast!”</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uQhw2m6QhmM/TsYOio62N5I/AAAAAAAAAho/uZibuj2H5bU/s1600/EUROPEAN+UNION+NOV+18+11.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="250" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uQhw2m6QhmM/TsYOio62N5I/AAAAAAAAAho/uZibuj2H5bU/s320/EUROPEAN+UNION+NOV+18+11.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 14.0pt; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 14pt;"&gt;All over the ancient &lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Middle  East&lt;/st1:place&gt; we find reference to the bull which is used as a symbol of strength and fertility, as well as to bull gods. El, the supreme deity of the decadent Canaanite pantheon, was often called the Bull El (he was a fertility god).

But that wasn’t it. And when pressed Perry drew another blank. Moderator John Harwood, one of CNBC’s debate host asked, “You can’t name the third one?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;“The third agency of the Government I would do away with – the Education, the Commerce.

Ford famously baffled audiences when he said, “There is no Soviet domination of &lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Eastern  Europe&lt;/st1:place&gt;.” Later pressed by the moderator, he refused to back down.

On Thursday, though, when President Obama’s plan to spend $60 billion on infrastructure repairs cam up for a vote in the Senate,&amp;nbsp;not a single Republican agreed to break the party’s filibuster.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;That’s because the bill would pay for itself with 0.7 % surtax on people making more than $1 million. That would affect about 345,000 taxpayers, according to Citizens for Tax Justice,&amp;nbsp;adding an average of $13,457 to their annual tax bills. Protecting that elite group &amp;nbsp;and hewing to their rigid anti-tax vows — was more important to Senate Republicans than the thousands of construction jobs the bill would have helped create, or the millions of people who would have used the rebuilt roads, bridges and airports.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Republicans in the Senate filibustered the president’s full jobs act last month for the same reasons, protecting the 2% of &lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;’s wealthiest at the cost of the 98% that are not! They have vowed to block the individual pieces of that bill that Democrats are now bringing to the floor. Senate Democrats have also accused them of opposing any good idea that might put people back to work and rev the economy a bit before next year’s presidential election.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;There is no question that the infrastructure bill would be good for the flagging economy and good for the country’s future development. It would directly spend $50 billion on roads, bridges, airports and mass transit systems, and it would then provide another $10 billion to an infrastructure bank to encourage private-sector investment in big public works projects.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, a Republican of Texas, co-sponsored an infrastructure-bank bill in March,&amp;nbsp;and other Republicans have supported similar efforts over the years.

Some of the companies disputed the findings, saying that the study understated their tax payments by omitting deferred taxes that they may pay in future years.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.5pt;"&gt;Using information from the companies’ own corporate filings, however, the study concluded that a quarter of the 280 corporations owed less than 10 percent of profits in federal income taxes and 30 companies had no federal tax liability for the entire three-year period.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.5pt;"&gt;The report is being released as corporations are pushing for a cut in their official tax rate, saying the current system puts American companies at a disadvantage with competitors abroad and encourages them to shift jobs and investments overseas.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.5pt;"&gt;The Congressional supercommittee charged with cutting the budget deficit is also considering proposals to revamp the tax system, simplifying the corporate structure and possibly lowering corporate rates.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.5pt;"&gt;The study said that the shelters and loopholes in the current tax system rewarded companies that aggressively avoided taxes at the expense of those that did not. A quarter of the companies in the study had a federal tax bill of 35 percent of their profits, while a similar number had an effective rate of less than 10 percent.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.5pt;"&gt;“Companies that are paying their fair share ought to demand that the tax-dodging companies pay their fair share too,” said Robert S. McIntyre, the author of study. “So should the public, which is subsidizing them in terms of increased federal debt.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.5pt;"&gt;The report is based on data gleaned from the companies’ regulatory filings, which can be different from their corporate tax returns. Even in a year when a company claims an overall tax benefit, it may pay some cash taxes while accumulating credits that can be redeemed in future years. But because most corporations do not release their tax returns, these corporate regulatory filings offer the best publicly available gauge of what companies pay and what strategies they use to reduce their tax bills.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.5pt;"&gt;Among the companies that the study said escaped a liability for all three years were&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Boeing &lt;/span&gt;and Ryder System, whose chief financial officer, Art A. Garcia, said the company had benefited from the additional depreciation intended to stimulate the economy.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.5pt;"&gt;Boeing officials said they, too, had paid&amp;nbsp; some federal taxes, but would not say how much. They said they had lowered their rate by taking advantage of tax breaks intended to encourage hiring. Chaz Bickers, a company spokesman, said Boeing hired 9,000 American workers this year&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.5pt;"&gt;Also on the list was General Electric, which has come under close scrutiny since The New York Times&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt; reported earlier this year &lt;/span&gt;that the company had recorded $5.1 billion in American profits in 2010, but claimed a federal income tax benefit of $3.2 billion in its regulatory filing.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.5pt;"&gt;“The report is inaccurate and distorted,” said Kenneth Juarez, a G.E. spokesman. He said G.E. paid “billions of dollars in taxes in the &lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;United States&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; over the last decade,” but would not say what part was federal income taxes.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.5pt;"&gt;The company that recorded the biggest reduction in taxes was Wells Fargo Bank, which is a large holding of Mr. Buffett’s company, Berkshire Hathaway. &amp;nbsp;The banking company reported a total of $49 billion in profits in 2008 through 2010, yet received a tax benefit of $651 million. Ancel Martinez, a spokesman for Wells Fargo, said much of the tax savings came from write-offs obtained after its 2008 purchase of Wachovia, which incurred big losses during the financial crisis.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.5pt;"&gt;American corporations are paying a smaller share of taxes than in previous decades. They paid a total of $191 billion in federal income taxes in 2010, the Internal Revenue Service said, representing about 1.3 percent of the nation’s gross domestic product. That is down from about 6 percent during the 1950s (although some of the decline is because a smaller percentage of businesses now file as corporations).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.5pt;"&gt;Despite the decline in corporate tax rates since then, business advocates say the nation needs to lower its top rate further to encourage hiring and investment. Grover Norquist, head of Americans for Tax Reform, said that the &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;United States&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; system was not competitive because it taxed income earned around the world, instead of just in this country.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.5pt;"&gt;“There are still Bolsheviks who recognize that we need to bring the rates down,” he said.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.5pt;"&gt;But the Citizens for Tax Justice study found that two-thirds of&amp;nbsp; the American companies with significant profits overseas actually paid more in taxes to foreign governments than they did in the United States.&amp;nbsp;Rather than lowering the corporate rate more, the study said, the federal government should end the&amp;nbsp;subsidies and shelters that favor companies that game the system.&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;“Closing the loopholes will have real benefits, including a fairer tax system, reduced&amp;nbsp;federal budget deficits and more resources to improve our roads, bridges and school — things that are really important for economic development here in the United States," the report said.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h6 style="line-height: 14.4pt; margin-bottom: 2.0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 2.0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: grey; font-family: Arial; font-size: 10.0pt;"&gt;By David Kocieniewski&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h6&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5361602701813792204-305608867992840154?l=sheriffali.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sheriffali.blogspot.com/feeds/305608867992840154/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sheriffali.blogspot.com/2011/11/biggest-public-firms-paid-little-us-tax.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5361602701813792204/posts/default/305608867992840154'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5361602701813792204/posts/default/305608867992840154'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sheriffali.blogspot.com/2011/11/biggest-public-firms-paid-little-us-tax.html' title='Biggest Public Firms Paid Little U.S. Tax, Study Says'/><author><name>sheriffali</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01805030341367100338</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Avu3IXyw4Ks/S6XcwshBy0I/AAAAAAAAAAM/glGALWMrBWk/S220/S+ALI+-EUROPE.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5mfessHXobw/TrOYfmhVInI/AAAAAAAAAe4/qsyeOyTXo5Q/s72-c/AVERAGE+AND+AFFLUENT+AMERICAN-1.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5361602701813792204.post-4944139092258212098</id><published>2011-11-02T07:35:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-11-02T07:36:40.308-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Cain Not Able!

Herman Cain has added a corollary: It’s not the cover-up that kills you; it’s the cascade of malarkey that spills out when you try to cover up the cover-up.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.5pt;"&gt;  &lt;div style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.5pt;"&gt;Sure, the dalliance with the grandfather, gospel singer, motivational speaker and self-made millionaire in the black cowboy hat was fun while it lasted, just as it was with Ross Perot, Donald Trump, Sarah Palin and The-Rent-Is-Too-Damn-High dude.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.5pt;"&gt;You have to give props to the C.E.O. of a pizza company who dons a white choir robe at a press event to sing a Lennon parody, “Imagine There’s No Pizza.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.5pt;"&gt;And you have to give Cain credit for breaking creative new ground in unconventional when he responds to a scandal about sexual-harassment complaints when he was chief of the National Restaurant Association in the ’90s by standing up at the National Press Club here and singing a gospel song about “Amazing Grace” to the tune of “Danny Boy.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.5pt;"&gt;Yet despite the taunting tweet from the Times blogger Nate Silver the other day, before the sexual-harassment scandal broke, asking if there was “anyone out there who 1) gets paid to write about politics; 2) is so sure Cain can’t win that they promise to quit their job if he does,” Cain was never going to be the Republican nominee.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.5pt;"&gt;Even Barack Obama couldn’t be lucky enough to waltz past two wacky black conservatives, first Alan Keyes and then Cain.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.5pt;"&gt;The Herminator was just a raffish passing fancy, like Mr. Wickham, a place for Republicans to store their affections while they try to overcome their aversion to Mitt Romney’s Mr. Darcy.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.5pt;"&gt;Early in October, the improbable shooting-star candidate was preening with David Brody on the Christian Broadcasting Network, saying he “felt like Moses when God said ‘I want you to go into &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Egypt&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and lead my people out.’ ” He bragged that he was ready for the gotcha questions from the press, saying: “When they ask me who’s the president of Ubeki-beki-beki-beki-stan-stan, I’m going to say, ‘You know, I don’t know. Do you know?’ ”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.5pt;"&gt;Yet despite being aware that the scandal would surely pop at some point, and despite 10 days’ warning from Politico, which broke the news, Moses was flailing in the media &lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Red Sea&lt;/st1:place&gt;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.5pt;"&gt;When Politico’s Jonathan Martin waited outside the CBS News bureau here to catch Cain after “Face the Nation” and ask him, “Have you ever been accused, sir, in your life of harassment by a woman?,” the candidate’s lame riposte was: “Have&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Calibri;"&gt;you&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span class="apple-converted-space"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;ever been accused of sexual harassment?”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.5pt;"&gt;If your appeal lies in being refreshingly plain-spoken, you can’t turn into a verbal corn maze.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.5pt;"&gt;He has contradicted himself even more risibly on his memory of the harassment charges than he has on his abortion position.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.5pt;"&gt;At first, he said he wasn’t aware of the five-figure settlement to one woman; then, suddenly, he was aware. Instead of the meaning of “is,” Cain tried to parse the meaning of “settlement” versus “agreement.” He still claims he doesn’t remember the other five-figure settlement to another woman.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.5pt;"&gt;His memory may soon be jogged. A lawyer for one of the women, an Ivy League grad who works for the federal government and lives in suburban &lt;st1:state w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Maryland&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:state&gt;, said that she wants to be released from a confidentiality agreement on the settlement since Cain is going around disparaging the accusers.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.5pt;"&gt;Trade association boards have been known, especially in the flush ’90s, to lavish money on silly things: face-lifts for top executives and their wives and payoffs to executives’ cast-off mistresses.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.5pt;"&gt;But if Cain is right that the charges were “baseless” and he’s the victim of a “witch hunt,” why did the association pay the women anything? The Times reported on Wednesday that the payment to one of them was $35,000 — a year’s salary.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.5pt;"&gt;Ann Coulter has a point when she says that feminists rewrote their own rules on sexual harassment to support Bill Clinton. It is never right for any boss, especially the president of the &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;United States&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, to mess with an intern, even if she’s the aggressor.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.5pt;"&gt;But Coulter falters when she charges that, like Clarence Thomas, Cain is the victim of a high-tech lynching, that “if you are a conservative black, they will believe the most horrible sexualized fantasies of these white women feminists.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="line-height: 24pt; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.5pt;"&gt;This isn’t an incendiary story about race. It is the most hackneyed story in &lt;st1:state w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Washington&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:state&gt; — another powerful man who crossed the line and then, when caught, tried to blame the women.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 14.5pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5361602701813792204-4944139092258212098?l=sheriffali.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sheriffali.blogspot.com/feeds/4944139092258212098/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sheriffali.blogspot.com/2011/11/cain-not-able-by-maureen-dowd.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5361602701813792204/posts/default/4944139092258212098'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5361602701813792204/posts/default/4944139092258212098'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sheriffali.blogspot.com/2011/11/cain-not-able-by-maureen-dowd.html' title='Cain Not Able!

I wonder! Do they ever stop to ask how much is enough? Am I one day going to have to pay for my deeds? Perhaps they give no heed to such things and perhaps the avarice for power, money, attention and the likes, numbs their thinking process and placates any sense of decency, mercy or any form of goodness, from penetrating their conscience.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Maligning oneself with evil for the temporary rush of life in the fast lane brings about the inevitable; sooner rather than later, you will have to pay the piper! Libya that has oil reserves of forty six (46) billion barrels of the richest oil in Africa with a population of approximately six million people, with proper management everyone could have had a good life, opportunities and pave new and better roads for their children, but Qaddafi’s greed that all of Libya’s wealth inures only to himself and his family, resulted in the suffering of immense proportion to 99.5% of the Libyan people.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Qaddafi, Mubarak and others that fell in the Arab uprising should be a wake up call for the rest of the “Despots,” that time is no longer on their side.

are the greatest People and Nation in the history of the world. &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and its people have given much to the world and it is my belief that we would continue on that path, provided we have the means to do so. (History repeats itself – if we are not mindful it could be 1940’s all over again)&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;But, the reality of &lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; lies not only in the eight years of the George W. Bush Administration; but also the Clinton Administration; George Herbert Walker Bush Administration; and especially, the &lt;b&gt;Reagan Administration.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Ronald Reagan set out to destroy the Unions in &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; – The Unions that gave people the right to collectively bargain for better working conditions, health care that really was the engine that helped to create the middle-class. Reagan began the deregulation of the Banks that took us on a path of Wanton Waste by the Bakers and people working for the Government that created losses of hundreds of billions of dollars of tax payer’s money. Reagan also took a 930 billion dollar National Debt and increased it to 2.7 trillion dollars; George W. H. Bush enhanced it to 5.1 trillion dollars; under Bill Clinton the debt only grew to 5.6 trillion but he left a balanced budget with a surplus 5 trillion dollars; and then, George W. Bush spent the entire surplus and added 4.6 trillion dollars to our National Debt, that when he left office on January 20, 2009 our debt stood at 10.4 trillion dollars. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;All of the money that got spent; the wars that were initiated that still exist today; the two humongous tax cuts and other monies that were spent, was borrowed money and nothing was never paid for. And so, President Barak Obama got saddled with a Country and 99% of it people in deep and unforgiving waters. To Obama’s credit he infused the necessary cash into the financial system that prevented us from becoming a bankrupt Nation, and despite what his critics espouse, he did stop the hemorrhaging of the loss of jobs despite the 9.1% employment that exist today.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt;"&gt;I wrote an entire book titled &lt;b&gt;America’s Paroxysm&lt;/b&gt; sometime ago, but I decided not to publish it when it was done because of some significant changes that took place, hence I would have to re-write various parts of the book, before publishing it. However, the first chapter of the book is listed below. You can read or not read it, but should you choose to read it, I feel certain that it would help to provide you with a balanced perspective that would assist you in understanding your country and what you can do, individually and collectively, to help us climb out of the mere we were tossed into by the end of 2008.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;AMERICA&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;’S PAROXYSMS -SEEING “BUSH” AS THE “VIRGO INTACTA” &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;At the inception of the present Bush Administration, it was clear then, as it is now, that Arrogance, Ignorance and Ineptness, combined with Myopia, was the catalyst that allowed the September 11&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; tragedy to occur. This became the worst destruction ever to transpire on American soil. These same factors were also the catalyst that resulted in the preemptive strike against &lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;Iraq&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="line-height: 200%; margin-left: 0in; tab-stops: 81.0pt 1.75in; text-align: justify;"&gt;In the first instance, the President’s argument to act unilaterally against &lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;Iraq&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;, to enforce United Nations Resolutions, was nothing short of futile. To act unilaterally is to discard the United Nations, yet enforce resolutions by the very body that you are ready and willing to ignore. This defies common logic.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="line-height: 200%; margin-left: 0in; tab-stops: 81.0pt 1.75in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="line-height: 200%; margin-left: 0in; tab-stops: 81.0pt 1.75in; text-align: justify;"&gt;Saddam Hussein, measured by a standard of the meek or the strongest, the good or the worst of Humanity, is a very “Evil”, insane, demented demon. The irony was however, to demonize one’s self and an entire nation in order to get this one demon, Mr. Hussein, takes one’s breath away.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="line-height: 200%; margin-left: 0in; tab-stops: 81.0pt 1.75in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="line-height: 200%; margin-left: 0in; tab-stops: 81.0pt 1.75in; text-align: justify;"&gt;With the astonishingly high number of historians and the vast number of credible institutions, the rhetorical question is if these historians do not see the “parallel" between the present day and &lt;u&gt;1933.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="line-height: 200%; margin-left: 0in; tab-stops: 45.0pt 81.0pt 1.75in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="line-height: 200%; margin-left: 0in; tab-stops: 45.0pt 81.0pt 1.75in; text-align: justify;"&gt;President Carter, who turned out to be a most productive ex-president, even with a stretch, by no means performed his duty on International Affairs, save that of the “Camp David Peace Accord” with &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;Israel&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;Jordan&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and &lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;Egypt&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;. Once sworn into office, he allowed self-righteousness and the illusion that he had a “Monopoly” on morality, to determine and define his job. This became the catalyst for this present situation that faces the world today. His reluctance to help the Shah of Iran, a most devoted and most loyal ally, to remain in power, resulted in the Shah’s collapse and allowed Ayatollah Khomeini to take control of a country that was always on the side of the &lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;United States&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt;. This paved the way for the seizure of the American Embassy and the American citizens &lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;for more than one year.&lt;/span&gt; Therefore, &lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;Iran&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; went from ally to foe.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="line-height: 200%; margin-left: 0in; tab-stops: 45.0pt 81.0pt 1.75in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="line-height: 200%; margin-left: 0in; tab-stops: 45.0pt 81.0pt 1.75in; text-align: justify;"&gt;Then came the Iran- Iraq war. With &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;Iran&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; now being the enemy, the &lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;United States&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; threw their support for the pernicious dictator – Saddam Hussein. Thus, the answer to the question, “who helped arm Saddam Hussein’s military with chemical and biological weapons, making him a threat to the world?”, is not so difficult to answer after all.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="line-height: 200%;

The Bush Administration did absolutely nothing – some one and a half million people died. Again, no oil, no &lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;US&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; leadership.

These self-righteous, self centered, conceited bunches of egotistic maniacs were fully cognizant that Osama Bin Laden and his Al-Qaeda fanatical infidels were dangerously on the loose, blowing up Embassies, the USS Cole and committing other heinous crimes. Where were the US Senate Intelligence Committee and the US House Committee? – “Hearings!”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: 1.0in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;Subsequent to the September 11&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; tragedy, the Bush Administration, rather than accept the responsibility for their failure to disseminate the intelligence information that was provided to them, their Modus Operandi, (MR.), became their obsession in trying to conceal the failure of this Administration and the Intelligence Agencies that work at the behest of the Whitehouse. They embarked on a path of words that has been consistently and constantly filled with hyperboles. To this date no one in the Bush Administration has ever accepted the responsibility for their failure to protect the American people. It is blatantly shameless to witness the blame game that has been permeated on the American people and the rest of the world.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: 1.0in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;I wonder who is counting the number of people that took the blame for the "mythical" State of the Union Address, before Bush himself exclaimed on July 30th, “I accept the responsibility for my words. Well, did he? And if so, why now? First it was the CIA director, Tony “the lonely” Blair, an assistant advisor, and now Mr. Bush and Ms. Rice. With so many "blame" takers, one can't help but wonder who is responsible? How many other fabrications have occurred and continue to occur? This Whitehouse made so many statements about Saddam and Al Qaeda links that have never to this moment manifested, except in the story teller’s mind. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: 1.0in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;One also wonders, did arrogance, negligence and myopia play a role in allowing the September 11&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; tragedy, and was that the catalyst that permeated the Iraqi war, to distract the American people's attention about the facts of that great tragedy? It seems evident that the commission report subsequent to redaction, gave the American people everything and anything, but the truth. I think that Mr. Bush and his oligarchy are without shame or conscience. They care about no one but themselves and their pocket books. Dick Cheney, George Bush and their families are not in the employment lines and the ever lengthening "food hand-out lines."&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: 1.0in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;The &lt;st1:state w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Washington&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:state&gt; elites are making "strange bed-fellows." Imagine Presidents Clinton and Bush ending up on the same page, saying, "It is time to move on, we have to look forward and not to try and re-write history." Easy for them to say, for they or their families are not burying dead soldiers every day, neither are they, or their families, being brutalized and killed every day by the so called coalition of "would-be" liberators. Further, they and their families enjoy 24-hour protection and they live in houses that are a trifle smaller than Saddam's palaces with all of the amenities and then some. It is air-conditioned for the hot weather and has a heating system for the winter that prevents them from feeling the slightest of chill. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;Therefore, it is not a problem for them to read liturgies exclaiming how brave the soldiers are and what great sacrifices they are making. They never mention the 120 degree temperature the soldiers endure, never knowing if the next minute a bomb or bullet would remove their leg or make them dead: no, the elites never mention these things. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;When mankind works hand-in-hand to promote justice, based on truth and moral principles, or through contriteness, it is most admirable. However, when they work in-sync to cover their negligence, their nuances make them pathologically pathogenic. It is unequivocally clear that President Clinton’s statement on Larry King Live, with Senator Bob Dole as the guest on his 80&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; birthday, was an attempt to cover the very transparent "nexus" that shines as bright as the morning sun. &lt;st1:city w:st="on"&gt;Clinton&lt;/st1:city&gt;'s failure to deal with Al Qaeda and Bush's negligence, due to arrogance, for not heeding &lt;st1:city w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Clinton&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;’s warning of the Al Qaeda threat that lead to the September 11&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; tragedy, is one and the same.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;Notice for a moment how silent President Clinton has been on all of the malfeasance that lead to the invasion of &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Iraq&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;. Thus the conclusion here is that &lt;st1:city w:st="on"&gt;Clinton&lt;/st1:city&gt; threw [jet fuel] unto the “nexus” with his words of concinnity, and President Bush [lit the match] by invading &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Iraq&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; to obliterate the "nexus" in an attempt to allow both of them to go unscathed for their complicity in the September 11&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; tragedy.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;Both of these Presidents, like other Presidents, always end their speeches with the words "God Bless &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;." Logically, they must believe in God to wish God's blessings on &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;. Bush more so than &lt;st1:city w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Clinton&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; always speak about how "Jesus" changed his life at the age of forty from the vices that plagued him. I believe that Jesus can and does change lives. However, Jesus preached that "only" the truth can set you free and that with a contrite heart and a broken spirit one can be redeemed. Jesus however, never preached that &lt;b&gt;duplicity, deceit, lack of contriteness, blaming others, malfeasance, killing innocent people and other such things, bring redemption or change lives.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;The Reverend Billy Graham presided over the swearing in of President Clinton. Reverend Graham’s son, Franklin, presided over Bush's swearing in as President. Thus I think that it is important for both Clinton and Bush to know about the book published by The Billy Graham Ministries and about a very important sentence in the book. The title of the book is; "A Beacon in Darkness. The sentence that should awaken Bush and Clinton says:-&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 3.0pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;“When men come to believe that the wrong they have done is finally covered up, then God in his wonders begins to bring light to every hidden thing.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: 3.0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;Mr. Clinton usually keeps his belief and God to himself, but Mr. Bush draws "God" like a 44-magnum. I think that Mr. Bush has convinced himself that he is the authorized modern day "Messiah" with the right to eradicate evil as he sees. I noticed in his July 24&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; speech he referred to Saddam's two sons as two "henchmen." I wonder how does Bush measure up from God's standpoint, not man, to the people he passes judgment on. By any standard, it seems that Saddam's two sons were, or probably still are, henchmen. But at the same time I wonder if this Bush’s ochlocracy is any less of a &lt;b&gt;myrmidon&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;During Mr. Bush's campaign for president, and thus far in his presidency, he has always quoted scriptures from the book of "Isaiah". His demeanor when he speaks about good and evil, God and Satan, henchmen and good men, I was always struck by the manner in how and what he said. However, in his July 30th news conference, his use of the word "I" gave me the answer to perhaps why he so frequently quotes “Isaiah”. I think part of it is his ideology that he and he alone, is the judge of all people, including the American people. He believes that he is good and those with whom he disagrees, well, they are evil, Satan, or whatever demonic name he labels them. What is amazing about how he uses the word "I" is found in Isaiah, chapter 14, verses 13 and 14, where Isaiah recorded the fall of Satan, as quoted in these two verses as Satan said: &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="line-height: 200%; margin-left: 1.0in; tab-stops: 1.0in 1.75in;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;"I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation on the farthest sides of the north; I will be like the most high."&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;We should not be surprised if in the very near future Mr. Bush holds a news conference and says to America and the world; "I am god, the most high." I personally would not be surprised how many die-hard Bush supporters would bow and say to him, "Yes lord! What can I do for thee?” Mr. Bush, however, should read the following verses as to what God said to Satan, verses 15-18-&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoBodyText2" style="margin-left: .5in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;"Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, to the depths of the lowest pit. Those who see you will gaze at you and consider you saying: “Is this the man who made the earth tremble, who shook kingdoms, who made the world as a wilderness and destroyed its cities?"”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoBodyText2" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;The decision to invade &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Iraq&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; by the Bush Administration was made long before September 11, 2001 tragedy. Irrespective of all the lame and deceptive reasoning given by Ms. Rice, Cheney, Powell, Rumsfeld and President Bush himself, the rationale was revenge and oil. All September 11th did was to buttress a decision that was already made. Manipulation and fabrication was what was behind the escalation in the Vietnam War that took some 58,000 American lives and injured hundreds of thousands. As for the &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Vietnam&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; death toll, who really knows? Thus it is true that history repeats itself. &lt;b&gt;Enosimania&lt;/b&gt; prevailed again and that is the reason for the hundreds of deaths of American soldiers and the thousands of Iraqis.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;The &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;United States&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; has no credibility as to the justification for invading &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;Iraq&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, and even if another 150,000 troops are placed in &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Iraq&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, the danger to the soldiers would just further escalate. Pride kills, and that is exactly what is happening in &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Iraq&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;. Bush's pride is the rationale behind the continuing deaths of the American soldiers. All this hyperbole of daily raids to "root" out the people carrying out the attacks against the American soldiers is exactly that, hyperbole. Neither now nor one year from now would this tragedy end, so long as &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; continues to occupy &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Iraq&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;. The only answer to the problem in &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;Iraq&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; is that &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; has to swallow its pride and allow the United Nations to take control of &lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;Iraq&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;&lt;/st1:place&gt; with forces that would be seen by the Iraqis as "trustworthy". Bush and Cheney know this, but their vision of controlling the Iraqi oil is more important to them than the lives of these soldiers that are being blown apart each and every day. A few months ago the photos and ages of three soldiers that got killed were shown on CNN. They were 22, 23, and 24 years of age. My youngest child will be 25 in November. Not one of these three kids even lived to be her age. The dolorousness that penetrates your very soul when you see another dead soldier, your very heart bleeds, unless and of course you have the hearts of Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and the rest of the Whitehouse gang. I wonder how many bodies it would take before the American people demand the withdrawal of their sons, daughters, husbands and wives from &lt;st1:city w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Babylon&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;. Arrogance was the catalyst that lead to the 9/11 tragedy. Rather than accept the responsibility and deal with that problem, Bush had to invade &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;Iraq&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and further endanger the &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;United States&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and the world as a whole. This futile exercise has now created another Israel/Palestine conflict. Just wait until you hear the 26 million Iraqis start shouting "jihad". [The &lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Soviet Union&lt;/st1:place&gt; could not thwart the will of the Afghan people even after eight years of occupation and that was a very poor country. What makes anyone think that 26 million people would allow themselves to be subjugated by this Bush Administration?] Bush wants the American people and the world to respect him, but what he does not understand is that respect out of fear only breathes animosity. Until he learns that true respect is born out of love and care, the tragedy that he initiated will only get worse, and love and care is not something he can claim is his best suit.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;This writer wants to be unequivocally clear that he is no defender of the Saddam Hussein and the Osama Bin Laden of this world. However, the writer’s view is that every problem stems from two components: the &lt;u&gt;Symptom&lt;/u&gt; and the &lt;u&gt;Cause&lt;/u&gt;. When this unspeakable tragedy transpired on September 11&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;, it was only right that &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and the world attacked and dealt with the symptoms of this egregious machination. However, it is important to note that treating the symptom without ever addressing the cause only allows the problem to become greater and perhaps compounded.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;Isolating one such “cause” is &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;Israel&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;’s occupation of the Palestinian territories, and their refusal to adhere to the numerous United Nations resolutions, to return the occupied territories of the &lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Golan Heights&lt;/st1:place&gt; and the other areas seized in the 1967 war. This continues to be a manifestation of anger and hate between the Arabs and the Israelis. It does not require a miracle to resolve the Palestinian and Israeli conflict that has claimed so many lives on both sides. As much as the Palestinian suicide bombers must be labeled “terrorists”, beyond any doubt, &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Israel&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; is no less a terrorist for their responsibility in destroying the homes and the lives of the Palestinian people.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;The American government, over the past two decades, has always had at their disposal, the non-military weapon, to resolve this conflict. At the cost of the American taxpayers, &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;Israel&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; is the largest recipient of &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;’s Foreign Aid, which totals some 3.8 billion dollars annually, in direct and indirect aid. Neither the incumbent President of the &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;United States&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, nor his predecessors, had the will to take the one step to resolve this conflict that continues to breed such hatred. Senator George Mitchell’s fact finding report, the European Union and even this present Administration, have all concluded that two independent states with a buffer zone separating them is what is required in order for sanity to prevail. The &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;United  States&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; should demand that &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Israel&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; withdraw its forces from the Palestinian territory and simultaneously allow the United Nations a “peace keeping” role as the separation of both states take place. Even NATO forces can be utilized to further enforce the stability of the Palestinians. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;Lengthy liturgies, and as the Bush Administration calls it, “Road Maps”, are not required to bring peace subsequent to the year 2005. For Israel to comply the U.S. government has only to take a stand that Israel adheres to the separation of these two states or they would face a halt in any further aid being provided to them. I do not ascribe to the thoughts of so many who promulgate that &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;’s politicians are afraid to take such stands due to the backlash of the Jewish population living in &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; that would possibly threaten their re- election. I believe that it is a profound fact that the reason why there has only been talk of a Palestinian state and no substantive action, is due to the American Government’s position that the continued instability between the Palestinians and the Israelis would keep both people in a state of anarchy, which allows the entire region to remain unstable, and thus continue to create the necessity for “big brother”, America’s military presence, in the region.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;Geo-technical studies concluded that &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;Saudi Arabia&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; holds the largest oil reserves in the world, some 260 billion barrels, followed by &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;Iraq&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; with approximately 112 billion barrels, and then &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Kuwait&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, with 95 billion barrels. With the world consuming approximately 84 million barrels of oil daily, of which &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; alone consumes 30 million barrels, for which 20 million barrels are imported, it is not too difficult to see that the U.S. Government’s involvement with the &lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Middle East&lt;/st1:place&gt; is not liberation, democracy or peace, but rather instability to keep the oil flowing to fuel their economy.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: 1.0in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: 1.0in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;Personally, I believe it is rather easy to visualize and comprehend the Bush Administration’s rationale for going to war with &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Iraq&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;. In the same manner as all rivers flow into the sea, it takes all the different situations and circumstances that brought about a common denominator, irrespective of the various facts, that made the war with &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Iraq&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; inevitable, even before the September 11&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; tragedy.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: 1.0in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: 1.0in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;So many of the people closest to the present President Bush, had worked for his father in the first Bush Administration: Condoleezza Rice, the now National Security Advisor, was advisor to the first President Bush on Russian affairs; Colin Powell was chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; Richard Cheney was the Defense Secretary in the first Bush Administration, Donald Rumsfeld was Defense Secretary in President Gerald Ford Administration, Paul Wolfowitz and others were all part of the previous Bush and Regan Administrations. One might remember that the first President Bush had a 91% approval rating subsequent to the victory in the first Gulf War. Even at that time, his critics had conceded that his victory in the impending 1992 Presidential elections was a foregone conclusion. Imagine for a moment the thoughts of all these people, when it was concluded that a Governor, from one of the poorest states, had won the 1992 election! In the days following Mr. Clinton’s victory, very disparaging remarks were beamed across the world by Saddam Hussein. It was reported in the news media that Mr. Bush’s son, President Bush, was devastated by his fathers defeat. It was also reported that the first President Bush stated that the American people had betrayed him after all the good he had done for them. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: 1.0in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: 1.0in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;I believe that the first President Bush never seemed to comprehend that the American people’s focus on International Affairs was very limited and very short lived. The economic situation is what mattered most, and for all the “thousand points of lights” vision that Mr. Bush proclaimed, the prosperous life that most Americans enjoyed had dissipated, because as good hearted as the first President Bush was, he was economically blind.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: 1.0in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: 1.0in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;For the record, when President Regan succeeded President Carter, our national debt was 930 billion dollars. Regan’s promise to the American people was two-fold, in that he would wipe out the very small deficit at the time and he would eradicate the 930 billion dollars debt. By the time his term expired, &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;’s national debt was 2.2 trillion dollars. The first President Bush’s vision of lights during his campaign in 1988 assured the American people that he had a definitive plan to deal with the expanding deficit and the growing national debt. When he was removed from office due to &lt;st1:city w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Clinton&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt;’s victory, the deficit was larger than it had ever been and our national debt stood at an astonishing 4.6 trillion dollars. Unemployment was out of control, yet he wanted another four-year term. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: 1.0in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: 1.0in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;We must not forget three issues that occurred during the first President Bush’s bid for re- election:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: 1.0in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-left: 1.5in; mso-list: l2 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: 1.0in list 1.5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;1)&lt;span style="font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal 'Times New Roman';"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;Despite an agreement that President Regan made with &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;China&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, that &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; would not sell advanced weaponry to &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Taiwan&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, Mr. Bush, at the Lockheed Plant, during a campaign news conference in 1992, told the employees that if they helped to re-elect him he would sell the Taiwanese Government one hundred and fifty (150) F-16 jet fighters. [Since then &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;China&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; has never voted with the &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;United States&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; in matters involving the United Nations Security Council.]&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-left: 1.25in; tab-stops: 1.0in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-left: 1.5in; mso-list: l2 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: 1.0in list 1.5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;2)&lt;span style="font: normal normal normal 7pt/normal 'Times New Roman';"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;Despite Mr. Bush’s promise not to raise taxes and his words “read my lips” during his 1988 campaign, he broke his promise and did exactly the opposite. He signed the tax increase bill late one Friday night and flew down to &lt;st1:state w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Florida&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:state&gt; on vacation. The following day when he was confronted by a reporter as to what he would tell the American people about him breaking his pledge of no new taxes, “read my lips”, Mr. Bush responded, “Now they can read my hips”.

Eastern Airlines was just one of the victims of bankruptcy. Prior to Thanksgiving of 1991, the democratically lead congress had passed an emergency bill to extend unemployment benefits to some of the hard-hit airline employees who lost their jobs. Mr. Bush vetoed the bill. Perhaps this was his interpretation of compassion.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;One person in particular, who worked for both the present President Bush and his father, is Colin Powell.

At times, it became public knowledge that Mr. Powell’s disenchantment with the Pentagon and specifically with Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld, allayed speculation that Mr. Powell would either get his way or he would resign. I often wondered if this true soldier was going to live up to his calling as the reluctant warrior that brought fame to his name. Unfortunately, Mr. Powell capitulated to being nothing more than a Bushido. He along with Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and others, escalated their vituperate malapropos whereby Mr. Powell became the respected promoter for invading &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Iraq&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;Life is amazing, because neither Bush, Cheney nor others, had ever served in active duty, and knowing about the malfeasance they have permeated over the years, sending other people’s children to die in a war based on fabrication of information, would be easy for them, because their adamantine maladies would always prevail. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;In the case of Colin Powell, it is difficult to continue to view him as the reluctant warrior. Mr. Powell’s position as Secretary of State provided him with all the necessary National Security information that enabled him to determine truth from fiction. A poignant factor is, he refused to use the information pertaining to the Uranium Oxide &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Niger&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; accusations. The documents pertaining to this &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Niger&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; transaction was certified as forged documents by the head of the IAEA, months before this war was initiated.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;Therefore, one cannot help but remain mystified as to why Colin Powell compromised on the very principle that he seemed to have thrived on all of his life. So, perhaps in the final analysis the percipience of Colin Powell being a “relentless warrior” may be more mythical than factual. Mr. Powell’s active duty as a soldier makes him no stranger to the fact that being in the middle of Gorilla warfare, soldiers endure wretched living conditions and every passing moment of each day, they live in incomprehensible fear of being wounded or killed. So how could Colin Powell have ever supported this Iraqi war that was based on manipulation and fabrication of information?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;The topography and culture of &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;Vietnam&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and the Vietnamese people are far different than that of &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Iraq&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and the Iraqi people. Nevertheless, there is a very transparent nexus with these two wars. The Vietnam War was nothing short of manipulation and deceit by verdant ordacious leaders, whose ideology can only be described as egregious machination. Thus, the common denominator in this Iraqi conflict bears all the scars by today’s leaders, as it was back then.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;Unless one’s heart is similar to that of George Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and the likes, your very soul encounters unbearable dolorousness for the pestilence that this Bush Administration permeated on these American soldiers and the Iraqi people that are caught in the midst of Bush’s enosimania.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="line-height: 200%; margin-left: 0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: 1.0in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;It is quite clear that the present sitting President is no different than his father in the decisions that he has made. It is easy to see, when the whole picture comes into focus, why the sitting President took the initiative of starting a pre-emptive war with &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Iraq&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;. Saddam Hussein by any stretch of the imagination cannot be viewed as a good man, but so are many of today’s world leaders who are nothing but dictators and tyrants. Unless there is a definitive, imminent threat, no country should engage in a pre-emptive strike against another, especially for personal reasons, retribution, and revenge or to conceal their own short comings.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: 1.0in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: 1.0in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;Subsequent to one of &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;’s most contentious presidential elections, the people of the state of &lt;st1:state w:st="on"&gt;Florida&lt;/st1:state&gt;, were disenfranchised by the Supreme Court of the &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;United States&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, which made Governor George W.

The founding fathers were very firm on the states’ sovereignty, which made them self-autonomous, unless there was a nexus between Federal and State. [Thus, for the first time throughout &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;’s 226-year history, we cannot say that this is a government by the people and for the people].&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: 1.0in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: 1.0in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;Mr. Bush’s oligarchy subsequent to September 11&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; became Bush’s ochlocracy. The &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;United States of America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; that proclaims democracy, law and order, has become precisely the opposite of that which this great nation was built on. I firmly blame President Bush and his Administration for this catastrophe. Equally important, the American people who have given their “blind” support to all that George Bush and his myrmidons has promulgated, is just as responsible for the recklessness that this Administration continues to permeate on the American people and the rest of the world.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: 1.0in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: 1.0in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;The commission investigating the September 11&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; tragedy has released its 900-page report. It is important that the American people understand that they have been given and told, everything and anything but the truth. This obstructionist Whitehouse intervened on the investigators’ work with no regard for the truth that was so essential to bring closure to the thousands of lives that have been affected by this unspeakable act. Yet, the polls continue to reveal &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;’s trust in the Bush oligarchy.

I believe that Vanity and Tyranny is what drives Mr. Bush. It is important for us to understand the true meaning of these two words, as was explained by two great minds of the past.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: 1.0in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: 1.0in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;[TYRANNY]- “Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered, but we have a consolation within us that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.” - [Thomas Payne]. For all the people that have suffered, and continue to suffer, at Mr. Bush’s tyranny, their day of glory is neigh, but I wonder, for Mr. Bush and all those who support his debauchery, what price would be exacted upon them.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: 1.0in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: 1.0in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;[VANITY]- “Vain are the sharp swords of infernal malice and the perpetual battles of the serpent’s seeds, for in the midst of the church, the lame take the prey and the feeblest of the warriors are crowned.”– [Charles H. Spurgeon]. Perhaps man has never learnt that vanity and futility are synonymous. A simple statement written by William Shakespeare can help us all to alleviate the malapropos in our lives-&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: 1.0in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: 1.0in; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;“To thine own self, be true and it must follow as the night, the day, &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: 1.0in; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;Thou then canst be false to any man.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: 1.0in;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: 1.0in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;Most people when asked whether they are an Optimist or a Pessimist, 99% of the time, they opt for the word “optimist”. I cannot lay claim that I am an optimist, but I can state without any equivocation whatsoever that I am unequivocally pessimistically optimistic. I have clarified this position in order that I am not viewed as an intransigent pessimist. It is noteworthy that we remember when President Bush was sworn into office on January 20&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; 2001, and up until September 11&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; 2001, his approval ratings was no more than 45 %. There was nothing that this Whitehouse had done that had caused the American people to place any hope in this President. We should also remember that the 45% approval rating was basically the support that came from those who were Republicans. When asked if they would vote for Bush for a second term, he had less than 40% support. That figure reflected that even the die hard Republicans’ support was eroding. However, as strange as it may seem, and despite overwhelming evidence that intelligence agencies that worked for the Whitehouse, failed in the most miserable manner in their ability to reveal this horrible plot that resulted in the worst disaster on American soil, the American people’s support for this President increased and to this day, his rating still remains between 55 and 60%.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: 1.0in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: 1.0in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;In full reflection of the September 11&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; tragedy, though negligence was the catalyst, &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; had the support of the entire world in the fight against terrorism. This involved a coalition of countries that were never allied with the &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;United States&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;. Mr. Bush’s presidency was helped and the &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;United States&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; enjoyed the sympathy from people all over the world. This was a great opportunity to utilize this amazing benevolence that was bestowed on &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, not only to fight terrorism, but also to address the ‘causes’ that breed and permeate such heinous crimes.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: 1.0in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: 1.0in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;However, subsequent to September 11&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;, in order to distract and re-direct the focus of the American people on the cause of the September 11&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; attack, the Whitehouse propaganda machine launched a determined verbal attack, directed at &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Iraq&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;. Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell, Rice and others, repeatedly exclaimed that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction and that there were links to Al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein. With the assistance of Tony Blair, they went as far as stating that Saddam Hussein could launch weapons of mass destruction that would not only affect Saddam’s neighbors but it could reach the shores of &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;. Bush emphatically stated that Saddam Hussein had purchased uranium oxide from &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Niger&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;. Colin Powell, addressing the United Nations, metaphorically using a vial of talcum powder, stated that Saddam Hussein had in his possession thousands of tons of Anthrax and VX-nerve gas. Dick Cheney stated to the world, that the Bush Administration knew precisely where all of those weapons were hidden inside of &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Iraq&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;. Despite the various uses for Aluminum tubing, Condoleezza Rice, emphatically stated that Saddam’s purchase of Aluminum tubing could only be used for centrifuges for the enrichment of uranium that would procure the atomic bomb structure.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: 1.0in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: 1.0in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;Reflect for a moment on the state of mind of the American people. There they were, living in fear, by the threat of terrorism, Vis a &lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Vis&lt;/st1:place&gt; the homeland security threat-level bar code that seemed to go from yellow to red, whenever Bush’s poll numbers seem to be decreasing. Imagine for a moment what the thoughts of the American people were, when they were undeniably told that there was a link between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda, and that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction, or in the alternative, would give them to Al Qaeda and terrorists groups. In conjunction, the United States House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate overwhelmingly passed a resolution authorizing the use of force to be determined solely by President Bush. It is not difficult to comprehend the rationale behind their support to preemptively strike and invade &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Iraq&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: 1.0in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: 1.0in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;Let us not forget history:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; tab-stops: 1.0in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="line-height: 200%; margin-left: .5in; tab-stops: 45.0pt 81.0pt 1.75in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;“Another mad-man persuaded the “&lt;u&gt;Reichstag”&lt;/u&gt; to invest him with emergency powers, suspending the constitution in the so-called enabling act of February 28&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;, 1933.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="line-height: 200%; margin-left: .5in; tab-stops: 45.0pt 81.0pt 1.75in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="line-height: 200%; margin-left: .5in; tab-stops: 45.0pt 81.0pt 1.75in; text-align: justify;"&gt;Officially, this madman in 1933 became FUHRER.

All of this misery has been committed and the facts leading up to this catastrophe are being defended or concealed or both.

We cannot undo the past but we can learn from it. “Today’s tears can be tomorrow’s laughter, today’s failures can be tomorrow’s successes, and today’s wrongs can be tomorrow’s rights.” With no weapons of mass destruction found to this date, imputed malfeasance leading up to the Iraqi war, soldiers and civilians alike are being killed everyday, we must do the right thing.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;David Kelly, a respected British scientist, committed suicide because the pressure was too much, subsequent to his accusations by the British Government’s hyped up intelligence to justify the war. All of these tragedies and the continued suffering and the aftermath serve what purpose? So that Boygeorge can put on his “tin-pot, draft dodging” garb and land on the air craft carrier, [Abraham Lincoln], to further escalate his pedigree. &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; has been duped by this ochlocracy that is controlled by the extreme right wing ruritan. We can fix the problem only if the American people can seek and find the will to demand a thorough and proper, impartial, investigation, subsequent to the September 11&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; tragedy, and prior to the &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;Iraq&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; war and subsequent to the invasion of &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Iraq&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;The greatest asset to people and their country is the humility of that nation. Pride has been the most destructive force throughout history, and to this day. People often say, big men don’t cry, but I say, it takes a big man to cry. The American people must right the wrongs that they have supported their government in committing. There can be no excuse of not knowing. It does not make the demise any less dead and the suffering any less painful. If &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and its government will turn sincerely to humility rather than duplicity, and take the next step in doing what is morally right, rather than what is politically expedient, I believe that &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;’s credibility, respect and blessings would be so enormous that they can actually repast the whole world. Should they however, fail to do the right thing, &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; will fall unto the same path that &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Russia&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; fell into, [economic collapse]. The only difference between &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;Russia&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; would be that it would be even more economically devastating for the American people.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;By September 30&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; we would have the largest deficit in the history of the world. [550 billion U.S. dollars plus]. &lt;st1:city w:st="on"&gt;Clinton&lt;/st1:city&gt;’s surplus has now turned into a 2.5 trillion dollar debt, in addition to the 6.4 trillion dollars that &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; already owes. There will be no way out of this.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;For the record, my desire is to see &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; regain its credibility, respect and economic stability, as it has in the past. This can be accomplished with the impeachment of George Bush and the prosecution of Dick Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice and others, who deliberately embellished in all of these wrong doings.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;In conclusion, the facts needs to be consolidated in order that the mind be refreshed, thus constantly bringing conviction to the conscience.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;At the time President Bush was inaugurated, the American economy remained robust, unemployment was at its lowest level, for which we must not forget, and 22 million jobs were created during the Clinton Administration tenure. The country had turned enormous mile stones, one of them being, &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;’s “red ink” turned into “black ink” as we went from enormous deficits to trillions of dollars in surpluses. Except for minor skirmishes in different parts of the world, &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; and the world as a whole were living out dreams and aspirations of peace and prosperity. Real wages had grown and people’s lives were in a much better state than when Mr. Clinton first came into office.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;However, the first act by the Bush Administration was a massive tax cut that benefited those who were already wealthy, but for those of middle class, those tax cuts did nothing to help their lives and the lives of their children. Much time was spent on trying to undo many of the things that President Clinton had implemented. One important factor is the land that &lt;st1:city w:st="on"&gt;Clinton&lt;/st1:city&gt; had set aside for the endangered wildlife in &lt;st1:state w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Alaska&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:state&gt;. The Bush Administration has made every attempt to drill for the approximately six billion barrels of oil. Imagine destroying the wildlife preservation for just 200 days supply of oil! &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;’s credibility came into question when the Bush Administration rejected the &lt;st1:city w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;KYOTO&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; environmental protection act. Here we are in one breath condemning societies for damaging the world’s environment and yet we abstain from the &lt;st1:city w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;KYOTO&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:city&gt; accord. &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;’s insistence to create an &lt;st1:street w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:address w:st="on"&gt;International   Court&lt;/st1:address&gt;&lt;/st1:street&gt; was nothing but a sham when the Bush Administration adamantly demanded that Americans cannot be subjected for adjudication. It is evident that &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;’s position is that others must do as they say, but not as they do.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;Irrespective of the fact that no conclusive permanent resolution was achieved between the Palestinians and the Israelis, much was accomplished even during the last days of the Clinton Administration. President Clinton remained a very active, impartial broker between the parties and always breathed life into what was sometimes deemed to be hopeless situations. However, Mr. Bush turned a blind eye and totally ignored the importance of &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;’s role. This brought about catastrophic damages to both the Palestinian and the Israeli people. Suicide bombers killed themselves and others, and &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;Israel&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, capitalizing on the Bush Administration’s silence, utilized &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;’s military equipment that decimated most of the Palestinian cities. Neither the Palestinians nor the Israelis gave heed to what Gandhi said about the law of “an eye for an eye”. Mr. Gandhi said that, “this eye for an eye business is what has the whole world blind.” &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;As time lapsed, the economic situation inside of &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; began to erode and statistics from the labor department reflect that we now have the highest unemployment in a decade. Since Bush took office, some three million people have lost their jobs. The chairman of the Enron Corporation, Bush’s friend and ally, and Cheney’s energy advisor, filed bankruptcy, placing thousands out of work, collapsing pension funds, and as of July 1&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt;, Enron’s indebtedness to investors totaled some 67 billion dollars. WorldCom filed another humongous bankruptcy for which Mr. Bernard Ebbers, chairman of WorldCom, and Kenneth Lay of Enron, have never been prosecuted by this present justice department. Because of Mr. Ebbers’ and Mr. Lays’ greed and their protection that comes from high-level government officials, retirees have to return to work because pension funds have become defunct and stockholders of these two companies, who were supposed to be millionaires, are now in the line of bankruptcies.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;Combined with the intelligence that caused the September 11&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; tragedy and the malfeasance that lead to the invasion of &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Iraq&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, the American people have no choice but to regain control of their country, by demanding prosecution of the bureaucrats who have placed them in this precarious predicament. One thing is for certain, the American people’s illusion that they hold a monopoly on morality, and their self-righteousness must be eradicated in order for the barriers of inegalitarian to be removed. The American people had better stop living like Ostriches with their heads buried in the sand. &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; has defeated &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;Iraq&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; in war, but the immediate and after effects is ricocheting, not only in the &lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Middle East&lt;/st1:place&gt; but also throughout the world.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="line-height: 200%; margin-left: 0in; tab-stops: 45.0pt 81.0pt 1.75in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="line-height: 200%; margin-left: 0in; tab-stops: 45.0pt 81.0pt 1.75in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; who proclaims, and is most hawkish on democracy, knows fully well that no democracy existed in the &lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Middle East&lt;/st1:place&gt;. As a matter of fact, the world knows that there was no democracy at all. The dictators of the &lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Middle East&lt;/st1:place&gt; are in the category of the Saddam Hussein’s of this world. Others choose the path of Diplomatic Dictatorship, but irrespective of how the cake is sliced, the end result is that &lt;b&gt;a dictator is a dictator&lt;/b&gt;, and dictators always suppress the population as a whole. Some people live and die in suppression. Some choose the suicidal path, as do the Palestinians, the Saudis and Egyptian kids, who commit some of the worst crimes in modern times. People, like us, who live in Freedom, with hope, dreams and aspirations, never think of killing others or ourselves. Thus we are quick to condemn those who take that path but who can tell what our actions and deeds would be if we became suppressed. Suppression such as living under the constant suppression of the American backed Israeli military might, where Helicopter gun-ships and F-16 Fighters drop bombs in residential areas, killing innocent men, women and most sadly, innocent little children. How would we feel not knowing where the next tank shells are going to fall, when the F-16 bombs and bulldozers would mull us to death and pulverize our children? Yes! How do we know or how can we say for sure what we would do? It would be nothing short of profound presumptuousness to say what we would or would not do!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="line-height: 200%; margin-left: 0in; tab-stops: 45.0pt 81.0pt 1.75in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="line-height: 200%; margin-left: 0in; tab-stops: 45.0pt 81.0pt 1.75in; text-align: justify;"&gt;So &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt; please wake-up to reality. For 226 years you have been a government by and for the people. This all changed when the Supreme Court decided for you. Now you have a government for themselves, for their friends of Enron, WorldCom, Halliburton, Bechtel, and the likes. Your four billion dollars per month for the war in &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;Iraq&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, is, in truth and in fact, returned to the friends of the Bushes’, the Cheney’s’ and the Rumsfeld’s’.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoBodyTextIndent" style="line-height: 200%; margin-left: 0in; tab-stops: 45.0pt 81.0pt 1.75in; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;Your tyranny can be overcome by impeachment and prosecution of all those who aided in this conspiracy. Time won't solve any of these problems, for time itself is stagnant. The bad people are using time to their advantage to promote the directions they are taking from the depths of "Sheol", while you wait on time to right the wrongs. Demand action and take action within the law. This Administration and the congress owe the truth to you and your children, for their future are at stake.

This shouldn’t be important to only me, but it should be important to all of &lt;st1:country-region w:st="on"&gt;&lt;st1:place w:st="on"&gt;America&lt;/st1:place&gt;&lt;/st1:country-region&gt;, because “this is what is wrong with our country!” Politicians, lying, scheming, cheating, and unrelenting hypocrisy just to be elected, so that they can “screw” us more than they already have!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;"&gt;One day before, October 13, 2011 at another campaign rally Mrs. Perry told the audience that people hate her husband because of his “faith.” She went on to describe Moses’ burning bush and Gideon’s fleece as some of the methods her husband used in his attempt to determine whether or not he should seek the office of the President. She, Mrs. Perry said, her husband Rick, got his answer from God, yes Rick, you must run. I wonder if their god also told them that lying, scheming and blaming others wrongfully were also to be used to win the election!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Bickham Script Pro Regular&amp;quot;; font-size: 20.0pt;"&gt;Sheriff G Ali&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5361602701813792204-4331021424814448430?l=sheriffali.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://sheriffali.blogspot.com/feeds/4331021424814448430/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://sheriffali.blogspot.com/2011/10/governor-rick-perrys-wife-anita-should.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5361602701813792204/posts/default/4331021424814448430'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5361602701813792204/posts/default/4331021424814448430'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://sheriffali.blogspot.com/2011/10/governor-rick-perrys-wife-anita-should.html' title='Governor Rick Perry’s wife, Anita, should be renamed Anita Pinocchio Perry!'/><author><name>sheriffali</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01805030341367100338</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='31' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Avu3IXyw4Ks/S6XcwshBy0I/AAAAAAAAAAM/glGALWMrBWk/S220/S+ALI+-EUROPE.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LQvHE6cGh9s/Tpng9PHe8KI/AAAAAAAAAc8/ixDOhnzZRmA/s72-c/ANITA+PERRY+OCT+15+2011.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5361602701813792204.post-4258956440104054634</id><published>2011-10-12T02:14:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-10-12T02:14:23.862-07:00</updated><title type='text'>I think that if a “Gadfly” could speak and use words to “run down President Obama,” the desperate Republicans would embrace the “Gadfly!”</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-37hGxvYNEr0/TpVaSwNSbQI/AAAAAAAAAc0/HmcBdaZruIM/s1600/REPUBLICAN+AND+THE+GADFLY+OCT+11+11.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="146" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-37hGxvYNEr0/TpVaSwNSbQI/AAAAAAAAAc0/HmcBdaZruIM/s320/REPUBLICAN+AND+THE+GADFLY+OCT+11+11.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;"&gt;Despite some of the News Media calling the winners and losers of The Washington Post Republican Debate carried live on Bloomberg Television on October 11, 2011, it reflects the imbeciles phantasmagoric rationales and internecine policies that these sorry excuses for the Republican Candidates are promulgating, in their hopeless desire to become President, is a fallacy that have no chance of success!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;"&gt;I think that if a “Gadfly” could speak and use words to “run down President Obama,” the desperate Republicans would embrace the “Gadfly” that would result in a surge in the Polls for the “Gadfly.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: &amp;quot;Times New Roman&amp;quot;; font-size: 12.0pt;"&gt;What came out of the debate was that everyone of the Candidates justification for wanting to be President is to blame President Obama for “shit” that happened for which he hadn’t any part of.
