I do not know how I overlook the blog "atlasshrugs.com." The radio is usually my only source of information, along with the newspaper a little. There isn't enough time in the day for more. However, I see that the above blog has commentary and current news stories. No need to look elsewhere. Pamala, as Atlas Shrugs, also has many fabulous, entertaining You Tubes. She is an unmovable Sarah Palin supporter and a Fearless Protectrix of the State of Israel.

Will War Save the Obama Presidency?
The nations of the world are disingenuously venting their indignation toward Israel just as our press is wrongly characterizing the Arizona matter. The negativity directed toward both is unfounded when the facts are actually considered. The Arizona law is no more stringent that the US Code. It calls for enforcement by state police of illegally present foreign nationals, which is nothing that is not already being done. Moreover, the law itself, by its own terms, several times states that racial profiling is not allowed. Anyway, the opponents admit to not even knowing what the law actually says. Neither do the opponents of Israel seem to know what actually happened regarding the boarding of the Turkish ship by Israeli commandos. Israel has been stopping all shipping to the Gaza strip for three years. "Humanitarian aid," which means almost anything short of weapons or terrorists is allowed in.
The captains of these Turkish flagged ships knew that there was a blockade. They were either trying to get contraband in or trying to create an incident. It appears that both motives may have been involved. The worse result would be for Israel to cave to international pressure and stop the blockade, thus allowing their enemies in Gaza to rearm. They may be forced to do just that if the Turkish or some other power's navy protects the next convoy and no power supports Israel.
A strong US foreign policy response is called for. Such as: inform Great Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Greece, maybe a few others, that the US requests their moral support for Israel in the UN. If not, we should advise them that we intend to withdraw from the UN. We should indeed withdraw if we do not receive some support for the US and Israel.
A great speech opportunity for a senior US diplomat would then arise. He or she could recount, before the UN, the various failings of that organisation over the years and its refusal to support the US at critical junctures. (Our diplomat should attempt to sound like an offended Frenchman as much as possible.) The speech would then briefly touch on the relevant details of the current Israeli incident and the frankly disingenuous response of most of the world. Our diplomat should then gather his notes into his attache case and walk out. Of course the current administration is joining in the unfounded attack on Israel so there is little chance of the proper response. On the other hand, even Obama may see a strong response as the best chance to avoid war. War of course probably saved the FDR presidency but that would not happen for Obama. The nation's voters would recognise that he is the last person, along with his cohorts, to be in office during a serious war.

Revolution's Progress
Many items in the news lately regarding issues important to Americans.
1) President Barack Obama: Naive-in-Chief, stunning clulessness, and insults to America-- London Times
Today another BHO speech to UN: Nuclear disarmament and lecturing. (I didn't actually hear the speech but I am sure it contained lecturing.) Some nuclear enforcement ideas are good if directed at the problem areas but goal of world without nuclear weapons is deceivingly idiotic, like gun control.
In the 1930's there was a multilateral international agreement to ban war. WWII followed soon after.
Gordon Brown, PM was good, Sarcosie, French President, was great. Great Britain says they will scrap one of their four nuclear armed subs. Who cares, but a bad symbolic statement.
BHO foreign policy abandons Poland, Checz Republic, Israel, UK, and Honduras
Supports Iran, N. Korea, Venezuela, and Russia
2) Glen Beck v. Republican party. Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result, says Glenn. Yes, the R's we supported were a disappointment in the recent past. They not only reached across the isle, but they ran over and sat on the Demo's laps and gave em a big kiss on the cheek. But there are degrees of insanity. Creating a third party or similar movements have always been very disastrous in the past. The left has a circus of clowns. We need one too and there is room in the Republican tent for Glen.
3) Ongoing press difficulties. Freedom v. the G.C.P. (Government Controlled Press). Why are the primary news media having financial trouble? The market for drivel is saturated and only outlets for truth are in low supply.
4) Pending hazardous legislation: Health care (for yet another free market solution, see: http://mises.org/3699 Is Emergency Care a Failed Market: by Eric M. Staib; 9/24/09), Wall Street regulation/take over (back burner now but just wait; RINO please say no to this), Global Warming still the worst of the worst. The unwitting and otherwise compliance of the press and environmental groups is the only way this monstrous idea could survive. We really need some light on this to expose it for what it is. Speaking of exposing, what about ACORN and allied groups: an interlocking spider web of corruption, crime, and communism. As such, congress should cut back their government funding to only a few hundred million: honor among thieves.
