Election 2012: Dumb versus Dumber

When I voted for Obama, first and foremost, I elected him because I wanted someone who would help get us out of debt. That never happened. I don't believe the answer to getting out of debt is to cut every program in America. Programs can work for us, but we have to implement them intelligently or not have them at all. So, now I have to choose between the man who didn't get the job done and someone who wrote the book, "No Apology for American Greatness," by Mitt Romney, where he outlines his hideous plan to achieve greatness in America through military spending. So, it looks like Romney will unfortunately be my vote because if I write in Robert Reich or Bernie Sanders the odds are grossly stacked against me. I want my vote to count. So, I choose Romney.

I don't believe we have seen the last of these attacks on freedom of speech. Really, if a cartoon sets people off, I can only imagine how much more a video would. These attacks are proving Chalmers Johnson (r.i.p.) and Ron Paul correct, both of these folks wanted to shrink our influence in other countries. Likewise, it would not be surprising to see new movies and cartoons surface over the next few years that evoke the same response.

Nonethelesss: There does seem to be a benefit for Israel. We Americans are often quite forgetful, referring to 9/11. This may make us more prone to coming to the aid of Israel given Iran/Israeli war.

With respect to our military and occupations, we are in over 100 nations that are likely poorly stored fireworks to our country, especially if we disrespect their gods, god, or culture. Let's put a stop to this folly and not leave ourselves open to attack by smite nations.
