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...

The Long Ago, Stolen Primary

The 2004 stolen primary election, regarding the 9th District Congress race, that has never been discussed by the mainline media nor addressed by Rep. Adam Smith, is still waiting to come out into the broad open, and thus to stop Smith's steady progression of becoming yet another congressman-for-life in Washington, D.C.  The rightist Democrat was the beneficiary of the election that year as a result of him facing the wrong and misapplied challenger in the '04 general election.  I actually won the G.O.P. '04 primary, but the victory was snatched from me as a result of the incompetency of then Director Dean Logan and his King County Elections Dept., which never investigated their audit log problem properly or at all.  Public officials in various places all over Washington state are aware of the '04 primary malfeasance by the Elections Dept. (not properly attending to finding out what happened to missing au...
