Maybe Obama’s campaign ads are working (you do know all those trips around the country…on your dime…were really campaigning, right?), but I’m beginning to agree with him that there are folks out here who don’t pay their “fair share”, and something needs to be done about it. Dammit, EVERYBODY needs to pay their fair share! Let’s figure out who the slackers are, shall we?
For three over three years, Obama has waffled on human rights.
He supported the Arab Spring…but didn’t actually DO anything, and now we have a terrorist organization, that ignores rights, running Egypt.
He was all for going after Moammar Gaddafi, but seems afraid to act in Syria.
He doesn’t act, even in diplomatic support, when Iranians take to the streets, giving the United States and the world it’s best shot at stopping the Iranian nuclear weapons program…but he supports, and encourages, rag-tag groups of students, led by union organizers and American Socialist Party leaders, when they “Occupy” banks, crap on police cars, overrun restaurants and other businesses, and steal and rape other protesters among them.
He has failed to take a firm stand on human rights…but he can’t any longer. A Chinese dissident has his back against the wall, and his choice is human rights or kiss some more Chinese ass:
Now…if you are like me, you don’t trust Obama to do the right thing regarding the topic in the video…but we, you and I, can…CAN…force his hand if we yell loud enough, so…
Start yelling…to congress, to the state department, and to the White House.

You never have to look far to find stupidity in government, and public schools make themselves SUCH an easy target. You might call the public education industry a target rich environment for folks looking for poor performance among government agencies.
School discipline is an especially easy target when you want to ridicule a government agency, their administrators generally using “zero tolerance” as an excuse to check their good judgement (if they had any to begin with) at the door.
Here are two fine examples of what “zero tolerance” can do…and in the second case we get a two-fer…zero tolerance combined with political correctness.
You DO know what political correctness is, don’t you? It’s trying to pick up a turd by the clean end.
So…learn all about suspending children for normal bodily functions and innocuous comments.
Your tax dollars at work. Enjoy!

If you ever get that non-specific “pissed off” feeling you can’t find a specific source for about the way the United States is run, maybe this is why:

"The Price", a painting by Tom Lea, a WWII war correspondant
“I fell flat on my face just as I heard the whishhh of a mortar I knew was too close. A red flash stabbed at my eyeballs. About fifteen yards away, on the upper edge of the beach, it smashed down four men from our boat. One figure seemed to fly to pieces. With terrible clarity I saw the head and one leg sail into the air.
I got up… ran a few steps, and fell into a small hole as another mortar burst threw dirt on me. Lying there in terror looking longingly up the slope for better cover, I saw a wounded man near me, staggering in the direction of the LVTs (Landing Vehicle – Tracked). His face was half bloody pulp and the mangled shreds of what was left of an arm hung down like a stick, as he bent over in his stumbling, shock-crazy walk. The half of his face that was still human had the most terrifying look of abject patience I have ever seen. He fell behind me, in a red puddle on the white sand.”
You knew you were pissed off. Now, maybe, you know why.

You HAVE to act on this, folks. You just have to.
Today’s video is a bit longer than normal…a few second shy of 30 minutes…but it is important. Very important if you are a little boy in Utah.
Today I’m just going to tell you a story…a story about a mom, her little boy, a vindictive ex-husband, and an abusive government official who thinks she is above all control.
Now…let’s see if I can piss you off enough to get you taking action:
