The Obama Follies - and other stuff

CHUCK HAGEL????

Chuck Hagel as Sec'y of Defense, or in more concrete terms, head of The War Department?

What is this love of Republicans?  Are you telling me there are no Democrats who are competent, or evil enough to run our "Department of Aggression And Destruction"?

Obama is not a Progressive, nor is he a progressive.  I don't even think he is any sort of "liberal".

I also suspect he really does think he is smarter than everyone else.  Those are the kinds of beliefs that lead to a horrific downfall.  Pride, etc., etc., etc.  If only he would throw us progressives a bone.

Oh well  --  now you know why I, once again, find it difficult to post anything  --  except  --  oh yeah, how about that violent rape in India?  Why hasn't the western press spoken to the horrific conditions for women in India?  Is it some sort of "respect" for local customs?  Are they afraid they might lose some sort of "access"? 

Come on "liberals", why have you not decried this in the past?  Don't women count there?

Also, why does it require "Anonymous" to publish the names of the loathsome "jocks" who raped that passed out girl?

Why do they get away with it?  Why aren't they shunned?

Given the current attitude toward women out alone, why aren't ALL women armed?  I realize a woman defending herself will be convicted of a crime - unless she is of a "certain" class  --  but isn't that still better than being raped. possibly murdered?

Perhaps now you know why I've not been posting for the last few days  --  I am too disgusted with most people, the world, and the hypocrisy of our press.

Lastly, all you "New Age" folks  --  tell me more about all the "wisdom of the east" crap.  All that "higher consciousness" you claim comes from places with grinding poverty, EXTREME class barriers, and huge levels of corruption  --  AND  --  total disdain for WOMEN  --  all across Asia.
