  • Donald Trump slayer of political correctness Part 8

    Posted on January 19, 2016 12:02 am by Richard

    It has become almost humorous watching predictions of Donald Trump’s demise all fall flat on their face. Each and every prediction of demise is based on politically correct behaviors. So when you stand back and take a big look, it is not so much what Donald is saying, it is what the people are saying about sticking political correctness where the sun never shines.

    Posted on December 23, 2015 12:02 am by Richard

    It seems Donald Trump is making headway in battling political correctness. Several other candidates for President have stopped being politically correct in their attacks on Donald. It seems the therapy is working. Continue reading → Post ID 15497

  • Governments attacking social media implies something to hide

    Posted on March 25, 2014 12:02 am by Richard

    Social media has become a powerful realtime tool to put a spotlight on politicians who seem to be stepping out of line. If there is nothing to hide then the day goes on without issues. If there is something to hide, the politician(s) in question will quickly look to unplug social media to attempt to hide what they do not want others to see. Continue reading → Post ID 15497

  • Thaksin bullies and thugs re-emerging

    Posted on December 5, 2012 12:02 am by Richard

    In just another sign that having a voice against Thaksin Shinawatra will be both prohibited and punishable should he find his way back to power, a now former Cathy Pacific air hostess is still being pursued by Thaksin bullies. But seeing that more or less that Thaksin is in power now with his sister Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra his puppet, there is little doubt this is only the beginning of that all too familiar signature of a dictator.   Continue reading → Post ID 15497

  • Global taste of terrorism favors Israel actions and the underlying psychology

    Posted on November 26, 2012 12:02 am by Richard

    Whether it is bombing terrorist in Gaza today or bombing Iranian nuclear weapon efforts tomorrow, the international community is likely to favor military aggression towards terrorist as long as it is quick and decisive. Prolonged conflicts as in Afghanistan tend to lose support as the human mind continually works to erase negative experiences and memories as part of the healing process.

  • Prophets not immune from criticism

    Posted on September 23, 2012 12:02 am by Richard

    Perhaps some have sensed a change over the past week or so about Muslim riots. There seems to be some sort of underlying breath where people are just itching to say ‘Get use to it, nobody is immune from criticism, and that includes the Prophet Mohammad’. Continue reading → Post ID 15497

  • The Internet: political power to fear

    Posted on March 9, 2011 12:33 am by Richard

    A lot has happened so far in 2011, and most of what is in the news was lit from a spark from the Internet. So to say an entirely new political landscape has been born seems to be the understatement of the century. Continue reading → Post ID 15497

    Posted on January 16, 2011 12:01 am by Richard

    Just sit back and look around. It seems no matter what direction you look, things are heading south with violence, the potential of violence, and the devastating effects of climate change. Never in the history of man has so much negative been going on at the same time, and we can only wonder and speculate as to the reasons why. Continue reading → Post ID 15497

  • The Burma nuclear threat

    Posted on December 18, 2010 12:02 am by Richard

    There is mounting and significant evidence that inaction by ASEAN to sort Burma out has allowed a monster to hatch. Being nice to bad countries is worse than doing something about them, and such a situation is emerging in Southeast Asia. Continue reading → Post ID 15497

  • Burma’s elected leader freed by junta

    Posted on November 15, 2010 12:00 am by Richard

    In what clearly looks to be throwing a bone at the dogs of democracy, Burma’s junta has released Aung San Suu Kyi from house arrest that was keeping her from taking office. But after looking at the first 24 hours of her release, it is starting to look like it was only a delay and the people of Burma are already falling in line behind her.

  • Preparing to attack Iran

    Posted on September 29, 2010 12:01 am by Richard

    After hearing Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s remarks at the 2010 United Nations General assembly, it is fair to assume that the majority of the countries have moved closer to feeling a preemptive attack on Iran’s nuclear ambitions is the right thing to do. Most certainly spewing arrogant rhetoric has its negative side. Continue reading → Post ID 15497

  • More extreme Muslim behavior in news

    Posted on September 27, 2010 12:02 am by Richard

    It is a bit hard to say why Muslims forcing their religion onto people from other religions is in the news of late. It could be from any number of reasons stemming from more occurrences to simply being more news worthy. With the seemingly spontaneous violent and aggressive behavior of mobs citing Islam as their fuel, it becomes understandable why it may be news worthy. Continue reading → Post ID 15497
