My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you

When Obama’s endless series of scandals started hitting the fan earlier this summer, many people were predicting that Obama would start a war to divert attention.

It isn’t even Labor Day, and Obama is starting a war to divert attention.

Obama’s limited, surgical Afghanistan war has killed almost 2,000 Americans since 2008.

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist.

We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.

Military-Industrial Complex Speech, Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1961

Who could survive such unbearably pleasant and normal weather?

The US citizenry will be judged harshly by history if we allow this war criminal to kill any more civilians

According to a U.N. statement that Emmerson emailed to The Associated Press on Friday, the Pakistani government told him it has confirmed at least 400 civilian deaths by U.S. drones on its territory. The statement was initially released on Thursday, following the investigator’s three-day visit to Pakistan, which ended Wednesday. The visit was kept secret until Emmerson left.

He also wants to start with just a small amount of illegal spying and illegal assassinations of American citizens.

Obama has the press corpse trained for one-way communication. Obama reads the teleprompter, and never gets asked any serious questions.

The axis of evil ( Obama/CNN/MSNBC ) have destroyed our system of government. The American people have no representation or say in what happens any more.

Obama thinks that 52% of the vote gives him a mandate to destroy the Bill Of Rights, but couldn’t care less about what 80% think.

What happens when the school district shuts down schools suddenly for no reason? Unsupervised teenagers get in trouble.

I just rode my bike up to the top of the hogback ridge behind the CSU football stadium, where I watched the bike race on Saturday. As I neared the crest of the hill, a rock landed on the road – at a place where a rock slide wasn’t likely. So I looked up, and there were three high school kids throwing rocks from the top of the cliff down onto the road. I yelled at them to stop, and stared at them for about five minutes while I warned some other cyclists.

Not being very bright, they got on their mountain bikes and started down a dirt trail in front of me where I got pictures of them. I knew where they had to come out at a parking lot by the football stadium, and rode down the road and waited for them behind a car. When they showed up, I jumped up and confronted them. At first they denied it, but I told them I had pictures of them and would give them to the police unless they started listening very carefully.

That got their attention, and I gave them a good tongue lashing for 10 minutes. Among other things, I said to them :

It is too hot to go to school, but not too hot to ride your bikes up a mountain and throw rocks at people?

I also gave them a lesson in physics about how fast a rock travels after falling 100 feet. I look fairly intimidating anyway (half an hour a day at the gym doing upper body lifting) and had them listening very carefully by the time I left them.

The temperature is about 70 degrees. Why aren’t the schools operating? Why don’t parents raise their children to be decent human beings?

At least they weren’t emitting much CO2.
