Sarah Palin Quits

Not news to many now, that the Governor of Alaska has announced her resignation from the top post. The running mate to John McCain has decided it is better to work outside of Government, to effect change, than to stay in it. Uh huh, and Ice Cream is made from Moon Dust.

“Rather, we know we can effect positive change outside government at this moment in time, on another scale, and actually make a difference for our priorities.” ( CBC News )

In her resignation, she talked about wasting taxpayer money, and time. Well, here she is, leaving her office with two years to go in her term, and tell me how that is saving money? To me, that is ROBBING the people who actually voted for Ms. Palin, and basically, telling them they aren’t worthy of her time.

She has ambitions, does our Sarah, the darling of the Religious Right Zealots, who put the Republican Party into shambles. What she is really doing, is cozying up to them, to garner their support for her bid to be the nominee in 2012. If she was anywhere near to being an honest person, she would simply have stated that, instead of the typical political double talk.

It is scary to think, that people like her and Mitt Romney ever got elected to anything, never mind Governor of a state. Hard to imagine that people who are so devious, so arrogant and vile, could hold office, but they have. Now Alaska can see, just what they elected. A power hungry woman, who has no respect for them, or their votes, never mind their values.

Many who consider themselves religious, belief she is a good role model. Now, I don’t know, but what kind of role model is it, that seeks people’s support for a job, gets it, then shoves it back in their faces, when they see an opportunity for personal advancement? Not what I’d call  a role model, now would you?

If you belief in that kind of stuff, of people being role models, then Ms. Palin is on of the worst choices one could make. To simply quit, because she can maybe do better for her own political fortunes by doing so, is not inspiring for young people. She talks a great deal about that, about how young people are not being given good role models, not being taught good values.

SO WHAT DOES HER QUITING SAY ABOUT HER VALUES?

Missing the Point

So was the 9/11 Commission bought and paid for by Canada? Did we staff it, or select the members to sit on it, and determine the 9/11 scenario?  If you believe Homeland Secretary Napolitano and former Presidential candidate John McCain, Canada MUST HAVE.   After all, it was that BLUE RIBBON PANEL that determined that the culprits entered the USA from outside of North America, through major US Airports.

“As the 9/11 Commission reported in July 2004, all of the 9/11 terrorists arrived in the U.S. from outside North America. They flew to major U.S. airports. They entered the U.S. with documents issued to them by the U.S. government. No 9/11 terrorists came from Canada.” ( source – CBC News )

That aside, let us play devils advocate here, and for the sake of this exercise, let us assume every single one of those terrorists did enter the USA from Canadian border crossings.  From Toronto, Vancouver, where ever, we’ll say they did enter the USA from Canada.

SO WHAT?

It really makes no difference where they came from, or which country they entered the United States from, because IT IS NOT THAT ORIGINATING COUNTRY’S OBLIGATION TO CHECK OUTGOING PEOPLE.

The obligation & sole responsibility for people entering ANY COUNTRY rests with that country. I am not responsible for what a US Customes & Immigration Official does or what rules he/she follows. That policy is set by the US Government, and to blame some other country, for the inability of the US Agents to do their job, is just bullshit.

The whole issue is simply one of people trying to cover their own asses, or in some instances attempt to influence policy in a foreign land. The United States, and ONLY THE UNITED STATES is responsible for the security of it’s borders. Not Canada, Not Mexico or any other country.

Our border with the US has a great deal of smuggling happening, where illegal firearms ente our country from the USA. We don’t blame the USA for the murders committed by people using those weapons. Instead we yell at our own Border Agents, and demand THEY PATROL MORE.

Armed assailants attempt to enter our country, and no, we don’t demand the United States change it’s gun control laws, but instead our idiots here armed our border agents. No blame to the USA for what has become a serious issue, but then, that is what responsible people do.

THEY ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR OWN ACTIONS.

To bad, most US politicians don’t.
