Well here we are once again discussing the issue of our valiant men and women who wear the uniform and how they will get the medical care necessary to treat the injuries they received in battle. Apparently President Obama (Commander in Grief) still doesn’t understand why military personnel can’t purchase their own insurance to pay for injuries sustained during their service to our nation.
Even after Obama backed off from the issue earlier in the year he is still surprised with the amount of opposition to his proposal. “Look it’s an all volunteer force” said Obama. Nobody made these guys go to war. They had to have known and accepted the risks. Now they whine about bearing the costs of their choice? It doesn’t compute”. Obama went on to say “I thought these were people who were proud to sacrifice for their country”.
Obama went even further in saying “I wasn’t asking for blood, just money. With the country facing the worst financial crisis in history, I’d have thought that the patriotic thing to do would be to try to help reduce the nation’s deficit. I guess I underestimated the selfishness of some of my fellow Americans”.
It so totally amazed me when I first read these quotes sent to me in an email and I was even more amazed when I checked the quotes out myself and found them to be true. I just could not believe that the man who is supposed to be the Commander in Chief of our armed forces would want to deny these American warriors the care they deserve for serving our nation. They get so little pay for the burdens that they bear that the last thing they should have to worry about is getting medical services for injuries sustained on our behalf.
However I probably shouldn’t be so surprised considering everything else that Obama expects the American people to sacrifice for the good or bad of his Presidential legacy, and I’m willing to bet it will be a bad legacy. It seems we will have to sacrifice life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness before this guy will even be a little satisfied. Not only does he want to kill the American dream, but he doesn’t even care if those defending these rights die from lack of necessary medical services.
This man has no love in his heart at all for the American people, but I am not surprised about that because I personally don’t believe that he is an American at heart. I think he is what is name portrays him to be a radical Muslim whose agenda is to drag our country down to their standard of living. Not only that but he wants to have our laws interpreted by the use of international law, and turn over our sovereignty to someone like the United Nations, which makes Obama a global socialist.
I guess those who voted for Obama are getting just what they wanted and making us suffer along with them for their ignorance and idiocy in voting this sham and con artist into the White House and make no mistake we will definitely pay the price for that and look on that day as a day that will go down in infamy. To steal another line from one of my favorite characters “Stupid is as stupid does”. You got that one right Forrest Gump.
I will be back again tomorrow my friends and I hope you all have a marvelous day, CIAO4NOW!!!!!
Today’s topic is the United Nations, one of my favorite topics although I don’t talk about them very much. The reason I don’t talk about them very often is that in the grand scheme of things that I write about they don’t play a very important role. However I will write about them today because they have stuck their thumb in the American tax payer’s eye again.
The American people give the UN more than 5 Billion Dollars a year, headquarter the UN here on US soil in New York City, and usually provide the bulk of UN peacekeeping forces around the world. With this information in mind here is the rub and a case in point.
The UN internal judicial body known as The Administrative Tribunal or UNAT, has just ruled that the UN must pay the legal fees of Benon Sevan. Sevan is the former chief of the UN Iraq Oil for Food Program, which cost a whopping 60 Billion Dollars worth of scandal and corruption. Sevan is currently in hiding in Cyprus.
In 2007 Sevan was charged with bribery and wire fraud in connection with the oil for food program. The charges were brought by the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York. His lawyers are requesting 880,000 Dollars plus interest from the UN to pay his legal fees and the UN has pledged to abide by the UNAT ruling. All of these while the criminal faces up to 50 years in prison.
This is not the first time that UNAT has issued such a ridiculous decision either. They did the same thing on Kofi Annan’s watch ordering a years back pay to a former UN official with the UNDP who was then accused of killing 32 people during the 1994 Rwanda genocide. Even though there was a huge public outcry Annan issued the payment.
The reason that this is our problem is that the monies being paid out for these ridiculous decisions by UNAT are funds given to the UN by American tax payers. Benon Sevan is a criminal charged by the US government with two federal felony counts and should be extradited to the US to stand trial, but instead we have to pay his legal fees. UN officials charged with any sort of corruption should be brought to trial, not have their legal fees paid.
I personally feel that most of the UN General Assemblies main body are criminals. Yet we allow the UN to continue to function and right here on our own soil. They feed on our people at every opportunity and we pay them for their pleasure. The only thing that unites the UN is that they are usually united against the American people without whose support they would not even be a damaged nonviable entity.
I think that not only should we not pay the legal fees of those international brigands, but that we should hunt them down and bring them to justice. That is if you can find any real old fashioned American justice here any more. I don’t think we should stop at that though. I think we should withdraw our financial support and membership in the UN and evict the entire organization. We don’t need them they need us.
That’s it for today my friends but I will be back soon. Have a great day CIAO4NOW!!!!!
Hello folks, I hope you all have had a good week and are looking forward to a little "you" time this weekend. Sorry I didn’t post yesterday but I had some business to take care of but it’s all good now and I’m good to go.
Today I want to talk a little bit about Sarah Palin, Hillary Clinton, and partisanship. It seems that Hillary Clinton was invited to speak to an anti Iranian rally in New York City at the United Nations which is a good thing. It also seems that Sarah Palin was invited to the same rally…..also a good thing. The problem is that Hillary Clinton wasn’t told by the organizers that Sarah Palin was invited and in a fit cancelled her attendance at the rally.
This did not deter Sarah Palin from her wish to attend and speak at the event. However, in their infinite wisdom the knuckleheads who invited her over at Stop Iran Now Coalition disinvited her and removed her from the speakers list. This prompted spokes people on the republican side to say that this was done under pressure from Democratic partisans. Considering this lady could be the next Vice President it might have been a good idea to treat her with a little respect and let her speak because she might be a good person to have on your side.
While I think it is possible that some pressure was brought to bear by agents of the Democratic Party I find it highly unlikely. I just think that the folks over at Stop Iran Now are just stupid. As for Hillary Clinton dropping out I just think she didn’t want to be upstaged by Sarah Palin and that prompted her decision not partisanship.
With regard to the idea behind the rally I think it is a great idea. Iran and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad are certainly a threat to Israel and if they get a nuclear weapon they will be a threat to us and our other allies as well. This most definitely should not be a partisan issue and I think both Clinton and Palin should have attended and spoke out against Iran. But now it seems the whole thing has been politicized by Clinton whether it was intended or not…how stupid.
Well that’s it for today and this week. I will see all of you next week, so have an awesome weekend, CIAO4NOW!!!!!
