Walk Slowly and Carry a Big Stick

I have read with great interest all the articles about our possible involvement in another middle east conflict. What I think is really interesting is all the dramatic headlines and comments. I do not believe in commenting on news's articles, because I believe that the articles are embellished to catch our attention and the comments I read are down right stupid or ridiculous, though one or two may actually make sense because someone actually educated self on the main issue.

That was a mouthful!

Articles with headlines such as "children scream in the night" or "red lines drawn" are nothing more than propaganda. We all know what the word propaganda means? Right? Of course, women and children died and more are refugees. It is the nature of war. Will our involvement stop the chaos in the middle east? No! No! No Again! Have we learned NOTHING from history? We have no right to police the world. We have no right to spend money we do not have to force what we believe is right on another country. Where is the rest of the world? Why does the US believe they should always lead the policing of other nations? If I hear the president and/or secretary of state or any other politician state, "we must bomb to protect ourselves from this happening in other countries (chemical warfare)", I am seriously going to be the one screaming in the night. I have a few common sense ideas for the government of the old USA;

• Protect our borders
• Feed our hungry
• Provide the unemployed or under-employed a decent job
• Educate our children
• Police our systems that are corrupt and failing
• Protect our people
• Protect our people
• Protect our people

Before we clean someone else's side of the street, we need to clean our side first then clean out the closets, attics and basements!

Yes! We have a lot of cleaning to do of our own. We are not perfect. We are not great. We are faltering. Take a look around. We need to impeach Obama, then clean out the senate and congress. If we do not get our act straight, we will have a second Civil War right here. People are fed up. People are really fed up. I am fed up. We need to clean house from the top (president) all the way down to the local "walking the beat cop".

Our fore-fathers must be rolling around in their graves.
