Stop the finger pointing. Find fault in yourself before you find fault in others.

"Find fault in yourself before you find fault with others" does not apply to political discussions. We should find fault in politicians. Finger pointing is encouraged.

Comprehensive Reform

Posted By Mel Maki

Harry Reid today said the Southern Border is secure. Part of comprehensive reform is the promise to secure the border. Looks like they already fulfilled that part.

Most Dangerous

Posted By Mel Maki

Former NY Times editor Abramson "the most secretive WH I have been involved in covering." NY Times Risen, "I think Obama hates the press." CBS Schieffer, "this administration exercises more control than GW Bush's did and his before that." USA Today Wash Bureau Chief S. Page, "Not only more restrictive but also more dangerous to the press than any other in history."

Obama says his "is the most transparent administration in history and is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in gov."

Is he saying, "Are you going to believe me or your lying eyes?" Does he think everybody is just stupid?

Clinton's Email Problems

Posted By Mel Maki

Clinton will not be the next president. Also, her foundation should have refused money from Arab countries while she was Sec. If a country wanted to give aid to another they could have given it directly. Why go through her foundation? Few people are even trying to defend this. She is less and less capable while more problems are turning up. They need to nominate somebody else. I was pretty sure six months ago. Now I am convinced!

Bergdahl Declared Deserter

Posted By Mel Maki

We traded the Gitmo prisoners for a deserter? Why can't a liberal Dem Pres be a good negotiator? Why is he determined to give away the store? He gave Putin a sweet deal and Putin advanced his troops. He seems desperate to make deals with our adversaries and give our allies the cold shoulder. Who can believe he will drive a hard bargain with Iran?

Obama vs. Israel

Following up on Dave's post.

US kept sections on Italy, France, and West Germany and other NATO countries classified with those sections blacked out.

I think a person has to be on the left to think the tilt to Iran is smart.
