High Ground Underground

Some of my recent Facebook Posts & exchanges: Oct. 1:  Examples of Obama's strategy of “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun:" 1. (Small) Arms for hostages (Iran/Contra under Reagan) vs Nukes for hostages (Obama/Clinton Iran nuclear & hostage deals) 2. Increase in National Debt: $5 Trillion under Bush, $10 Trillion under Obama 3. Recession recovery:  Reagan’s recovered all jobs lost in 36 months, but after 67 months of Obama’s, we still haven’t recovered all the jobs lost, and in fact we’ve lost millions (after 67 months, Reagan had added 10 million).  Reagan’s GDP growth after 5 ½ yrs. was 20%, Obama’s 3%.  “ Middle class incomes have continued to fall during Obama’s recovery, losing even more ground than during the recession.  The number in poverty has also continued to soar during Obama’s supposed recovery, to about 50 million, the most in the more than 50 years that Census has been tracking poverty, with the pove...

The shooting of 9 Black worshippers in a church in South Carolina was an evil, horrible act by a depraved, hateful racist.  The Christian grace, on the other hand, of the family members who only days afterward offered their forgiveness, stands in stark contrast.  They could have done as relatives of recent police shooting victims have done, and incited anger and violence and divisiveness, but chose not to.  They took the high road.  This, despite much more incontrovertible evidence of racist motives.  And we should be grateful to them, and take lessons from them.  They also stand in contrast to those who, while perhaps well-intentioned to prevent repeats of such acts, seem to act in knee-jerk fashion to attack tools and symbols of the perpetrator – his gun, and the Confederate flag.  But clearly conveyed in their statements are political jabs for political gain.  Both against defenders of the 2 nd Amendment (& by association w...

Hillary Clinton As Charles Krauthammer pointed out, when Josh Ernest (White House spokesman) says there’s “not a shred of evidence” that Hillary Clinton influenced the uranium company sale to Russia, it's because the evidence has been shredded – she selectively destroyed emails before turning over what she wanted to the government.   Now U.S. uranium may be sent to Iran courtesy of Russia – and the Clintons – to be used in bombs that may be used against Israel.  And Queen Hillary continues to dodge reporters’ questions, considering herself either above the need to explain herself, or at a loss to do so.  After his many million-dollar speaking fees, Bill Clinton explains he “has to pay the bills.”  Of course he is the biggest Bill.  The new book, Clinton Cash ( http://www.thenewamerican.com/reviews/books/item/20931-clinton-cash-punches-through-bill-and-hillary-s-teflon-armor ) , documents all kinds of questionable foreign donations t...
