Congress shows their Hatred of Obama by throwing America under the Bus

According to the article titled “Boehner invites Netanyahu to address Congress on Iran, after Obama veto threat” by an Unknown Author for Fox News.com, “House Speaker John Boehner announced Wednesday he is inviting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address Congress next month about the threat from Iran, in a sharp rebuke to President Obama. “Prime Minister Netanyahu is a great friend of our country, and this invitation carries with it our unwavering commitment to the security and well-being of his people,” Boehner said in a statement. “In this time of challenge, I am asking the prime minister to address Congress on the grave threats radical Islam and Iran pose to our security and way of life.” “Boehner told members of the GOP House Conference on Wednesday morning: “The president warned us not to move ahead with sanctions on Iran, a state sponsor of terror. His exact message to us was: 'Hold your fire.' He expects us to stand idly by and do nothing while he cuts a bad deal with Iran. Two words: 'Hell no'."  He said: "Let’s send a clear message to the White House – and the world – about our commitment to Israel and our allies.”

Boehner and Congress is playing a very dangerous game right now because of what is not in this article.  President Obama and Prime Minister Netanyahu have two very different ways that they see dealing with Iran.  President Obama wants to try and reason with them while keeping all options on the table while Prime Minister Netanyahu is willing only to explore the military option.  This seems like a smart strategy to them because none of those refusing to try something new will ever have to put their lives in jeopardy and appears to not mind putting the lives of other people’s children in harm’s way.  Where this game of “one-upping” the president is dangerous is once it is fully understood by the people of Iran, that America and those attempting a different track are doing nothing but pulling their chains, the hateful rhetoric by Iranian leaders will heat up and those who have pushed hatred of this country for so long will be proven right. 

We say this nation wants peace all over the globe but we make no effort in trying to get that because we are still stuck in this childhood playground game of trying to find out which kid has the biggest toys.  Mr. Boehner says that the president expects them to sit back and do nothing which may be simply because when it comes to authorization of the current conflict or passing jobs bills for America even fixing our immigration problem, that is all Congress has been doing is sitting back.  I guess it’s true, hate someone enough to win regardless of the cost.  I guess the health, wealth and the welfare of this nation is the cost of doing business in Washington.  Then again, none of those in Washington will ever have to worry about dodging one bullet if we have to fight those we refuse to talk to.

Movie Review-Harlan Coben's Shelter

  The movie Shelter is based on the bestselling series by Harlan Coben, it follows the story of Mickey Bolitar (Jaden Michael) after the death of his father leads him to start a new life in suburban New Jersey. When another new student disappears, Mickey finds himself tangled in a web of secrets. With the help of two new friends, Spoon (Adrian Greensmith) and Ema (Abigale Corrigan), they reveal a dark underground that may hold the answers to decades of disappearances. Keeping me totally engrossed from the first episode to the last was not really the storyline or the actions and dramas, it was how awesomely those actors and actresses played their roles.   It seemed so effortless, watching them, that it was easy to forget it was a movie/series. I could not control my anxiousness to start the next episode.   Not many movies can make me feel the same emotions that the players were supposed to feeling but man, this was one and that journey this series took me on was one that...

The Truth about Malcolm X’s Murder Begins and Ends with Louis Farrakhan

What made Malcolm Little stand out from all those born during his era went far beyond intelligence to a point of realism.  History tells us that as a young child, he was subjected to his “Lansing Michigan home being burned to the ground” and the body of his father, Earl, being found “lying across the town’s trolley tracks”.  Both of these incidents were reported by the police as accidents even though there were evidence that the white supremacist organization Black Legion could have been behind this.  He was also subjected to his mother losing her mind, having to be institutionalized and all eight children, including himself” split up amongst various foster homes and orphanages”.   This education and the education of the streets allowed him the opportunity to reexamine his life and the direction it was going while he spent months and even years behind bars for the crimes he committed during his youth.  He finally decided to dedicate his life to a higher cal...

A Tree shall be Known by the Fruit that it Bears

  I find it quite humorous when I hear people claiming to be one thing or another.   Claiming to be a republican, a Democrat, or an Independent but the thing that seriously bothers me when people claim the title of Christian and yet act like a total hypocrite. Hypocrisy is defined as “the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense” and if we are to be honest with ourselves and those around us, not one person can ever claim to not have claimed to be one thing while their actions depict something else.   I don’t think that any one mortal can ever claim that they have not fallen into this trip at least one time or another in their lives.   Because we are human, and accidents happen, it is okay to admit that we have faults and work to fix them instead of covering them up but of course many of us will go to our earthly graves pretending that this has not or currently happened to them. Hence the title of...
