Time For A Sign or Impact?

Well as you can see by the headlines from local, and national feeds that I check-out from time to time, things are getting pretty crazy in this nation, and around the world. The Republican Party wants to meddle in Iranian politics, when every diplomat with common sense is telling them this is not the way to go. Are these elected officials capable of learning from past mistakes? I guess they forgot how the Shah of Iran was installed. It's just another case of blow-hard selective memory. Any person that has studied Iran knows for a fact that no matter who wins the election between those two will hold similar views towards the United States. The only exception is the other guy wants slightly better relations with the United States. He still wants to continue their nuclear program. So why are Republicans demanding that we should support him? To be honest I'm just amazed at the level of disingenuous rhetoric coming from these people. They in their heart of hearts could care less what happens over there. John McCain sang his little version of "Bomb Iran" last year. If you confront any of them with facts, they will just make up another lie or attempt to change the subject.

On another note. Kids continue to get murdered here in Chicago and our "Supreme Leader" Mayor Daley, is just more concerned about getting the Olympics here. Get this. Spend 500 million taxpayer dollars for the Olympics, and do not give police officers a raise. That's just great logic. Let me see if I have this right? The city budget stinks, so he makes cuts in jobs and services. Law-abiding citizens can't own a handgun, but criminals can buy them like candy. You want to guarantee 500 million taxpayer dollars (where else is that money coming from) to the Olympic Committee. And you refuse to spend that money to make sure school-age children are safe. I think that's about right.

Boy do we ever need a sign, or an impact to wake them all up.

But then again, that's just my opinion, would love to hear/read yours.
