The State of the Union

We are all anxiously awaiting President Obama's state of the union address.My personal opinion is that we are in desperate condition and only a real change of direction can save us. I opposed President Obama's election because I had studied his background and associations with terrorist William Ayers and his America hating preacher. The only upside to his election was that America proved that skin color was not important. His message of hope and change though ill defined was brilliantly delivered and 53 percent of Americans elected their first black President. After he was elected I naively believed or perhaps only hoped that he would strive to be a President for all the people. Unfortunately this has not been the case and despite the strong messages that have been sent to his administration from Americans of every political persuasion it sounds as though he and his team of czars and other far left leaners are determined to prove that big brother knows best. I hope I am wrong!

I Missed This!

Internet Access around the World

As our world continues the Technology Revolution many totalitarian countries are trying to restrict internet access and even here in the United States there are elements within the current administration that would like to curb bloggers and other media that are critical of President Obama and his administration. In light of this  I am very pleased that the U.S. has spoken out about the restrictions being placed by China. It will give our own free speech advocates and media ammunition should the congress proceed with its attempts to revive the so-called  "fairness doctrine." See the article here

We already know how the difficulties faced by bloggers in Iran but Egypt is also trying to intimidate its very large blog population. Go here for some comments and follow on to an incident in Upper Egypt where five Christians were murdered on Christmas Day.Happily the U.S. State Department has also protested the incident according to the Egyptian Chronicles

Political Change in Iran- Alternatives

As the current regime continues to thumb it's nose at diplomatic efforts the risk of military action  grows. The WSJ Opinion Journal carries an interesting article today that suggests more options that have considerable merit. I have to believe that some of what is suggested has already been in play  but certainly a more consistent and determined effort should be made. The alternative of using military action would be disastrous and might weaken the opposition rather than bring about any change.

Scott Brown Beats Martha Coakley - WSJ.com

 The WSJ has an excellent report on Scott Brown's victory in Massachusetts. The tea is in the harbor- next the Revolution. A center right coalition of Americans will rescue their country from those undemocratic forces that are trying to take us in the wrong direction. Thank you Scott Brown and the citizens of Massachusetts for the inspiration.

UPDATE- The first sign that the White House has heard the message comes from David Axlerod
