"Deep Concern"

There's a lot of "deep concern" emanating from the White House these days.

The latest message of "deep concern" came today after news of a military coup in Honduras. This comes on the heels of President Obama's belated "deep concern" about the Iranian regime's lethal crackdown on peaceful democratic protesters. That was preceded by "deep concern" about North Korea's detonation of a nuclear weapon, which itself was preceded and followed by "deep concern" about Pyongyang's long and short-range missile tests.

The reason rogue states are escalating their thuggish behavior and borderline states are going rogue is because the Obama administration is relying only on signals of "deep concern"---and nothing else.

When the world's greatest democracy and its only superpower neither speaks up for freedom nor backs it up with muscle (or at least the threat of muscle), bad things happen in the world.

Those bad things are popping up all across the globe. And since the United States isn't pushing back, the bad guys will push ahead.

I'm "deeply concerned."

M/M, no disrespect.. but I view Ron Paul as the Republican Kucinich.. a bit of a wacko.

I also don't like some of the thugs who surround him. You can ask your friend Hanity about that.

Ron Paul is a libertarian and a fiscal conservative. I am upset with the “backstabbing Republicans” who are treating Gov. Sanford as if he is a sleaze like that Eliot Spitzer.

Eliot Spitzer on Mark Sanford:

“THERE'S a huge difference between what South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford did, and what ex-New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer did. "I didn't fall in love with any of them," Spitzer was overheard telling LMDC executive director Avi Schick the other day at Solo in the Sony Building on Madi son, where they had the $24 prix-fixe lunch. And Spitzer didn't use any taxpayer money on his trysts, while Sanford is reimbursing the state about $12,000 for travel expenses to Buenos Aires. Schick had Vietnamese beef spring rolls and a grilled chicken salad.”

Oh, and HE prosecuted them too….“When he was attorney general, Eliot Spitzer had no trouble going after a "sophisticated prostitution ring." As governor, he apparently had no trouble patronizing one. The hypocrisy speaks for itself”

MM, I agree 100% on the Shpritzer. What an asshat.

As for Sanford he is still WAY better than Clinton who survived his impeachment. At least Sanford has good taste in women :-)

Will he show the same deep concern when China takes back Taiwan?

---------------------------------------------
The only thing that Obama is concerned about is passing his leftwing socialist agenda that includes the largest tax and spending proposals in the history of the country. His foreign policy is a mixture of Nevel Chamberlain and Jimmy Carter. After many days of pressure that forced Obama to come out and say he was outraged over the violence against Iranian protesters, he has said and done nothing as if finally saying he was outraged is the sum total of his policy. His foreign policy is weak and lame and almost non-existant. We are taking zero leadership in the world and just setting back and let the terrorists and thugs do what they will.

And the lamestream infomercial media could care less. They openly support and promote his socialist agenda and say nothing about his foreign policy. There is a virtual news blackout now in Iraq. Has anyone seen a news story coming out of Iraq since Obama took over. It's almost non-existant. The lamestream meida is diligent in ensuring that no negative stories are ever reported that effect the Obama Administration.

If America and its' constitution/bill of rights etc. is in fact in the process of being suborinated to a new Global Socialist World Order with a global currency and global laws & courts and global taxation; it would appear there is nowhere to emegrate to to escape this insanity.

Any creative ideas here?

I'm deeply concerned too, and everyone should be deeply concerned. Given this nations' karma for more than 50 years (starting with Hiroshima and Nagasaki) I'd say we're way overdue to lose both Manhattan AND Los Angeles.

9-11 doesn't cut it, as it was an attack from within. This country has never been attacked physically on US soil by any other country since Pearl Harbor.

And I wouldn't even count that as a real attack either, since Roosevelt could have stopped it in ten seconds by ordering the ships out of there the second he learned it was coming. There were many other ways to stop that attack as well, none of them taken.

Monica: We can no longer afford to be the world's police.

The pay is abysmal, the cost is too great, and the perks only go to the top 1%.

And China, our owner, says no more. Possibly it no longer wants us to destroy ourselves, seeing as we have a penchant for taking the rest of the world with us.

I'm with Buchanan's isolationism. 1000%. Cast the beam out of our own eye before removing the speck from anothers'.

AT LEAST IN THIS ONE CASE, WE WERE SPARED THAT!

The Supreme Court ruled Monday that white firefighters in New Haven, Conn., were unfairly denied promotions because of their race, reversing a decision that high court nominee Sonia Sotomayor endorsed as an appeals court judge.

A WORTHY GOAL WOULD BE to work toward giving the Obama Administration the same fate in the 2010 elections as the Leftist Argentine "Power Couple" just received in their elections this past week!

Good luck on that, my boot-scootin' piddlin' pal...

COULD IT POSSIBLY BE that maybe a previous commitment Napoleonic ambitions has zapped any chance of a strong US military response, and with the exception of the GOP, the rest of the world KNOWS it?

Viet Nam, as it was called when i was a kid, was the GM great [ http://www.tompaine.com/articles/whats_good_for_gm.php?dateid=20050406 ], and even as a chile i realised that America was fighting for FRENCH COLONIALISM...WTF???

All you chickenhawks are ready to start wars at the drop of a hat...but guess what y'all? The world is now like a Mini Cooper racing a Mopar---given a tank of gas each---who's gonna get the farthest???

YOUR DEEP CONCERN should be whether or not Obama can retool the American ideology so that it COMPETE in the 21st century rather than run around with the John Wayne mentality that hasn't won one since the Big One, as Archie Bunker'd say.

How so? I recently bought his book, "The Revolution: A Manifesto," and while I haven't had a chance to get very far into it, so far it seems to make a lot of sense to me. Basically Paul wants to return to the principles and values of the Founding Fathers, which we have obviously gotten very far away from. I don't see anything "wacko" in that.

FDR had not the slightest intention of stopping it; he wanted it; he had essentially arranged it.

It was the only way he could get us into the war, which 80% of the American people wanted us to stay out of -- and which FDR had assured the voters he would stay out of, promising American mothers that "your boys will not be sent to fight in a foreign war" even while he was scheming to do exactly that.

Robert Stinnett's book "Day of Deceit: The Truth About FDR and Pearl Harbor" should be required reading for every American.

Our entry to the war was nothing less than a resounding communist victory. The Roosevelt administration was heavily communist-infiltrated, and the end result of our "winning" the war was that we helped make eastern Europe and most of Asia safe communist strongholds for the next half century and beyond. What else did we accomplish, long term?

See here, for one short account of that and related topics:

I wouldn't even call it "isolationism" -- more like "minding our own business for a change." We could still have the same sort of foreign relations that many other nations do, without all this costly and frequently counterproductive meddling.
