Leadership is doing the right thing when no one is looking!

Amazingly today our American culture has been so twisted by scandals, by greed , by winning, by racism, by bigotry, by intolerance  that the people who have the honor of leading have  they themselves turned into total disgraces.

Our Politicians, our Religious clergy, our Professional Athletes, the people that set standards for morality and ethical behavior whether they like it or not, have become the biggest bunch of failures and frauds.

The ones who yell the loudest turn out to be the biggest crooks themselves.

The ones who point fingers at others turn out to be the the worst offenders themselves.

The ones claiming their close connection to God, and religion do the most diabolical, insidious things to children and adults and can and will always  justify this repugnant behavior with even more fictional religious crap.

But of course crying on TV gets you that "get out of Jail" card from the ignorant masses of polarised sheered sheep. Those whose standards of intelligence, and excellence end with Hee Haa, and Praise the Lord TV..

The kindred Spiritual Mother Teresa's of the World are nowhere to be found in America today and except in remote places such  as in Burma, where Aung San Suu Kyi is imprisoned for protecting her people from Human rights abuses from a Military Government, or a gifted women, and women of the people  like Oprah Winfred, with such a Humanistic, loving, caring and giving nature, are people of great character to set examples for everybody to live by. There is a huge void in America for ethical leadership. Men have failed in their leadership roles in America due to their own self serving natures. What we have instead are self serving failed politicians like Michelle Bachmann and ex- politicians like Sarah Palin, that promote hate, intolerance, bigotry,  gender ignorance's by her own low level education and then justifies this lack of reasoning and knowledge with fictitious religion and a fictional God.
Then there are the enablers of TV, FOX TV for a fact, that create intolerance, racism and bigotry  to sell themselves and increase their annual salaries at the cost of all Humanity. The Hannitys, O'Reillys, Becks, Malkins all promote hate. It makes them a boatload of cash, and for modern American  Republicans, personal ethics start with money and end with money!

We have the G.W. Bushes and Dick Cheneys who promote torture in the name of God. That promote war for profit in the name of God. That promote greed in the name of God. That promote self serving behavior to acquire wealth even and most often when it is destructive to people and the Environment.
The professional sports players are among the worst offenders as role models today with their MTV attitudes of sex, drugs, and who gives a shit behavior even though their entire career and fortune is made from the people who watch them have fun, while being paid 10's of million every year.
You know what?
None of these professions or these people were ever meant to be role models in the first place anyway. They are there only  to make money, obtain power, and rule over the populations of dumbed down morons who make poor choices for themselves and then cry, it's not my fault.
So if anybody watched President's Obama's speech to the Nation on Health care last night you got a good dose of true Republican behavior. As Congressman Joe Wilson, yelled out "You Lie" to the President, this was heard around the World. It shows the contempt, racist, intolerant, bigoted behavior the far right religious base has gotten because America has an African American President. What this jerk-off said was right in line with High School behavior, disrespectful behavior of a Southern racist, the exact thing I am referring to when it comes to leadership, and fairness. This slouch Joe Wilson is but one example of the brainlessly low quality of people in Politics, and the foul stench associated with the Republican Party today..
And this blowhard, this dipshit  got caught in the act of being a religious, repugnant  republican. How nice!
So who exactly then are our role models? These are the people who do the right thing because it is the right thing and not because they make money from their actions, or become famous, or get special privileges. Doing the right thing does not hurt other people. Doing the right thing does not degrade your environment or abuse animals. Doing the right thing is knowing that you are connected to everyone and everything on Planet Earth, and that everything you do affects them and others too..
Doing the right thing when no one is looking takes personal convictions and strength.
Do you do the right thing when no one is looking?

2ND Great Depression is here and now.

Just today I am reading that the mortgage delinquency for top credit borrowers is showing major cracks in it. These people are being laid off from their jobs and cannot pay their mortgages and it stands to reason that these people will not be working anytime soon as well. After 50 years of false, deceitful and out and out lying by business and our own Government we must as a Nation come to grips with the facts, and they don't look pretty.
The BIG Ponzi scheme has finally unraveled!
This country is in a downward spiral, and only a few honest brokers are even talking about it. The rest, sell their spin only to make money from the lies, but who really cannot see where we, our Nation is headed?
Large Corporations have laid off as many people as they can so far and now small business is following suit, and and on top of the Government has gotten into the act.
So then if Private business is not hiring, and Government is not hiring, than who is?
Nobody!
We have been spending $13,000,000,000.00 every month since 2003 for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and yet Republicans are yelling that there is no money for National Health care?
Our country is Broke people.
We are simply printing money, borrowing from foreign countries at a rate that will crush this country in not too long a time, and that time is now.
One of the first things that we need to do is get the Hell out of Iraq and Afghanistan period. No more Democracy Bullshit because that is never going to happen. We can stay in both these countries  for the next 100 years and nothing will change.
Both these illegal wars are G.W. Bush/ Dick Cheney failures for America, and putting both these criminals  behind bars for life would be a good first step.
Right now we are "America the Imperialist" country with our hands and fingers stretched into every country for their resources. When Republicans talk of Democracy they mean countries that will sell us valuable resources that  we want without having to invade them if they make choices that we do not want to hear.
Amazingly the Republicans talk about war on terror but it has been here for 40 years already. The drug cartels from Mexico are here now by the 10's of thousands murdering people everyday. Our Southern Borders have no border!
The biggest actual threat to Americans today are these gangs that are already here in the USA in every city, and instead of fighting them, Bush and Cheney forced the country into 2 wars in other parts of the World.
Talking about failed leadership, these two incompetent morons were the last straw in the camel's back.
The war on drugs has been fought for the past 100 years and has never deterred anybody from using drugs, or obtaining them. We need to address and change this policy now if we are to save ourselves from a further erosion into Never, Never land.
The Government has spent $$ one Trillion dollars on the war on Drugs over the past 100 years and it has lost the battle before it even started.
We need new direction here, because all we see is wasted lives, and money for nothing.
Drugs need to be legalised, no different than legal Pharmaceuticals drugs are today as well. That needs to be done immediately to address the wasted money and resources.
Stopping both wars, changing direction on the war on drugs saves this country $100's of Billion annually. With that money we should be investing in what we really need now and into the long range future, Renewable Energy resources. Wind, Solar, plant based fuels.
If we do not see the emergency of where America is today, we won't have the luxury of repeating the 1970's fuel crisis over again when we were warned by our unfriendly non- allies in OPEC and then did nothing about it. It will have been too late.
What more proof do you need to see?
Who could have ever imagined to see G.M.,  and Chrysler in Bankruptcy already, and that hundreds of banks have  failed already, again and  again?
Wake up call America.
There is still time to get your act together, but that window is closing extremely fast.
We,  meaning our country, America needs to have a new philosophy in how we live, and how we will be able to maintain our quality of life but at the same time come to grips that the mindless, selfishness of today and the past is over.
The World is a finite place!
There is no where else for us to rape and pilliage if this Human Species experiment fails.

War in Afghanistan and Iraq

What a complete waste of time, money and Human life in both the countries of Iraq and Afghanistan. The colossal failure and incompetence of G.W. Bush and Dick Cheney to allow 9/11 to happen in the first place and then to use it as a scapegoat to invade either country is simply treasonous. From the FBI to the CIA, and all other American Government Intelligence agencies, all have debunked anything of value that Bush and Cheney used to create these two wars for profit, and they are most certainly wars for profit. You the American taxpayer, Mothers and Father will pay dearly with the death of your children to satisfy the greed of G.W. Bush, Dick Cheney and all of the other enablers in the Senate and Congress who voted to go to war on the flimsiest excuses only because it was self serving to their own careers and to generate wealth for themselves in business contracts and bribes. Today on the CBS Evening News there was a Republican Senator in Afghanistan describing to the viewers how corrupt the Afghan Government was and is, and all I could think about is how Corrupt the Politicians in America are. Here's a guy calling out Afghan or Iraqi political thieves and he is one who belongs to the biggest bunch of thieves on Planet Earth, American Politicians!

Besides the 5,000 dead servicemen and women, besides the Trillions spent on these Wars for profit, the American public will get nothing but the bill, and full caskets. The people of Afghanistan or Iraq have seen 100,000's of their own countrymen and women murdered for the benefit of Halliburton, and the Military Industrial war complex, Exxon, Mobile, Chevron, etc... so that they can get a free ride to $$ Hundreds of Billion in profits for these companies. The only reason that G.W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Rumsfield, Wolfowitcz, Rice and the rest of the Regime are not in prison for war crimes, and treasonous acts against America is because both Republicans and Democrats have blood on their hands and they are surely not going to prosecute themselves. Face it, we in America live in the most corruptible society that has ever lived. Everyday politicians spend $$$ Billions, Hundreds of Billions, Trillions now of taxpayer money like it was Monopoly money because these greedy S.O.B.'s take bribes, extortion's, and cash stuffed into suitcases because it is a big game for them.

They all ask themselves, "How much can I steal while in political office without being caught" to enrich my life?

It is sickening, but it is fact.

How can this change? How can we weed out greed and corruption in Politics?

Unfortunately it cannot be done.

We either can simply just live with it or we create massive change. How this is done is anybody's guess. America is already bankrupt, printing funny money that each day is worth less and less, and one day it will implode. Whatever goes up must come down. The Roman Empire lasted 1,000 years, the British Empire of real power lasted 400 years, and the American Empire being run by the most corrupted men and women on Earth will barely hit 100 before, if it does that.

The Iraq and Afghanistan war cost Americans $13,000,000,000.00 each and every month since 2003, and will bleed the USA dry in the future.

I was in Thailand visiting a friend when the USA invaded Iraq in early 2003, and the people there asked me why "my" country was starting another war, because they lived through the US's Vietnam war, and I surely could not tell them any reasonable answer, for there wasn't any. I have been to Vietnam and have seen the devastation for myself. My wife is Vietnamese and lived through the horrors of American Imperial conquest. I knew that it was about money, power and greed, but I was embarrassed to say it because America is my beloved homeland and it is being run by dishonest, self serving crooks!
