Uncle Sam Should Stay Clear of International Mess

For a president who once said the U.S. shouldn't get in dumb wars, it's insane for Obama to engage in saber rattling over the international controversy involving a motion picture company, although he does seem to have walked it back some according to recent news reports.  Why did the motion picture company make the particular stupid movie that started the controversy in the first place, thereby provoking a nation with nuclear weapons?  Why is Obama defending a company whose executives insulted him because of his race behind closed doors, and probably insults a host of other people of African descent?   It's not even clear who started the cyber attacks on this company, and besides, this motion picture company, that's not even an American company, should  have to stew in their own problems and messes, which appear to have been created by their own arrogance.  The government shouldn't get involved in this matter at all other than if there were or are credible threats against public domestic security.  This whole mess that the motion picture company started is pathetic, though at least it could start a wider philosophical discussion about so-called "entertainment" and degenerative movies that have no redeeming value, and the coarsening social climate that comes with them.

Washington's Most Rightist Democrat: "Mr. Smith," a la Jimmy Stewart, He's Not

This is Not "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" by Any Stretch of the Imagination Despite a recent council campaign, I have plenty of energy to continue a different campaign for U.S. representative that will bring the people's constitutional rights to the forefront, among other matters.  The rightist Democrat, Adam Smith, will soon have to explain the stolen election of '04 (even as an unwitting beneficiary, he likely knows something), his votes for keeping the status quo of an overreaching, intrusive N.S.A. that is clamping down on the Bill of Rights instead of ensuring the checks and balances he has sworn an oath to do, his vote for doing away with habeas corpus (our right to judicial review if we are jailed) through the National Defense Authorization Act, his willingness to keep America in interventionist mode, his so-called free trade mantra that has kept America under the yoke of internationalist regimes and...

Smith and Drescher

Rep. Adam Smith Endorses a Card-Carrying Republican   People who don't ordinarily follow Newcastle, Washington politics aren't going to know this, pretty much, but Representative Adam Smith, Democrat from Washington state, actually endorsed a card-carrying Republican, John Drescher, for Newcastle City Council.  Drescher supported George W. Bush and John McCain, respectively, in two recent presidential elections (2004 & 2008).  Smith is the same rightist Democrat (the kind of Democrats also known as "Blue Dogs") who benefitted from the other curious election of 2004, though unwittingly. Smith's voting record is like a dream to America's far right wing, shown here as follows: Congressman Adam Smith has voted for the following (pretty much not in accordance with his district): the national defense authorization act proviso that ends Habeas Corpus (judicial review for persons who are jailed), even for Ame...
