Not Funny Notes By Red Beaver

Not funny at all:

1. Healthare Reform Bill

This one is a classic political intrigue. The fat cats in Congress want to put Obama in front of the choice: either he signs a very bad Bill or he vetoes it and that would mean a political defeat for him. He should throw the Bill out now- same way as Michael Douglas did it in the movie 'The American President'.

2. Iran and all..

Only an airhead would not understand that the Iranian card is played because the powerful lobby wants our troops to stay in Iraq indefinitely for rich becoming richer. Iran is not a threat to anyone and has all the rights to have any weapon it wants. Obama and his warhawks are caught with their pants down again-the decision must be made to stop posturing but it will be 'unpopular by manufacture' and the cronies in Washington love popularity as the whores they are.

3. Swine Flu

The hysteria about the swine flu is a pure political ploy with the main purpose to stop the healthcare reform at all costs. The idea is to show that the administration puts people in jeopardy with its plans while the dangerous pandemic is on the way.

4. Sarah Palin

'She is very popular among the base... She might be weird but funny... She definitely has a character... Her book will at least bring a lot of money... She is very charismatic... etc. etc.'

All of the above was said once by the pundits of that time practically to the letter about another politician who also was a clowny persona, wrote a stupid book and gave a lot of unfortunate speeches. That person was Adolph Hitler.

5. Racism in Congress

Joe Wilson is a racist. The less we acknowledge it, the more Obama runss away from it the worse will be his situation. The more we here adopt a Soviet 'hush- hush, do not make waves' mentality, the less chance we have to survive. Wilson's racism isthe racism of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the racism of our posturing in the UN, the racism of Obama not attending the Annual Conference On Racism. It is the cumulative racism of the US elite. In the normal country not soaked with racism such person would be out on the street crying on the shoulder of Pat Buchanan and other morons.

6. The Problem Of Israel

Israel has a problem. That problem is a lack of fear to whip the paranoya of its ciitizens and Jews abroad so that the Israeli elite gets more cannon fodder- the Jewish children. Israelis use all the means they have to instigate fear on the world so that they get that fear back on track. Their behavior is as stupid as it is anomalous. The best way would be to open a TV channel in Hebrew broadcasting 24 hours a day on Israel explaining to the Israelis that the only fear of theirs is their government.

7. Energy, Climate, Education et al

NONE of those global issues can be addressed in this country before we transfer to the metric (SI) units and join the whole world. NONE. There will be no flight to the Moon. There will be no technology revolution. There will be no good education. There will be NONE.
