Twist and Pout Redux

Well, wouldn’t you know it? Large amounts of radiation have been found in the soil surrounding Japan’s never-ending nuclear reactor meltdown at Fukushima Dai-Ichi. Wow! What did the "experts" expect? And this is news? Next thing they will be telling the world is that radiation levels floating into the American Southwest are "harmless." Oh, right…"they” have already said so.

Does this mean no one needs to worry about toxic fumes from cars, trucks, trains and planes, coal, and power plants? Should America just hold its collective nose and dump the EPA as several well-placed GOPers have suggested? If it’s okay to breathe radiation in small doses every day, then hey, let’s get back to the way it was without environmental protection and choke our way into oblivion. Might as well as the saber rattling continues in the U.S. to turn back time and dump unions, legal abortions, government-run heath care (i.e.; Medicare), and anything else that provides freedom of speech (unions), freedom of decision (women’s rights), freedom to be reimbursed for contributions to one’s retirement (Social Security), etc.

I know. This story is getting old. The problem is that it’s only just begun. We have an election coming up with a group of bitter losers from the last presidential election who can’t stand the fact that not only did a Democrat win, but a man of colour who is a Democrat with a father from Kenya and a mother who hailed from Kansas where, when no one was looking, Barack Obama magically appeared from out of a tornado without a U.S. birth certificate to wave in everyone’s face when he would one day become President of the United States after living in Oz and catching a ride in that big house with Dorothy and Toto on their return.

Let me be perfectly clear (heh heh) – I’m not writing that all Tea Party/GOPer’s are racist. I’m writing that some are – and some are not. But, if those who say it isn’t race that has brought about the twist and shout of “The Birther’s” constant pout, then why has this issue continued to be a focal point of the opposition party’s talking points? I can only surmise that it is a clever below-the-radar way in which to constantly remind those of confused or skeptical mind that it’s not a true “White House” any more.

  2. Here is a web site showing a picture of the birth certificate http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/… notice the certificate No is blank out no addressing if this is a forgery, no investigation from all the people and relatives in the African nation saying they remember the time and hospital he was born.
    Here is the simple truth if it is found out that he was born in Africa his entire presidency is illegitimate, but i suspect most of you would rather bury your head in the sand than to get the facts.
    Micheal P in NJ is the example of a kool aid drinker any moron could make up a fake birth certificate on your home computer, the main question has it been investigated and authenticated

  3. Wow. In your second paragraph, you use the exact words of left wing nutcase Janine Garafalo. Maybe you could get a guest star appearance on her new crime drama, Criminal Minds.

  4. This "birther" fiasco over the last week has come to light once again because Donald Trump raised the question. Not Fox news. All they did was report it. But what was interesting about the subject Fox news reported, was Whoopi Goldburg's reaction. She IMMEDIATELY pulled the race care, and said "No white president was ever asked to produce his birth certificate." John McCain was, and he produced it. But then again, no white president ever spend his childhood in Kenya and Indonesia or had a father who was a member of the Communist party. And it sure is curious the vast amount of money President "O" has spent to keep his past a secret. Just sayin'...........John
