LightBookproductions Blogs  

Here we post impromptu Blogs on current issues that reflect our
conservative perspective in the freewheeling spirit and style of the Blogosphere.

During 2010 while we continue to reformat the site you will also periodically find individual comments on politics and other issues from LightBookpro at Twitter. 

  

January 17, 2010

It's been a long time since we posted a blog entry here.  The LBP site producer returned to school in early 2009 and has been spending a lot of time restructuring the site and working the day job.  So we are very grateful for the extraordinary number of new site visitors this past year, which kept growing, despite our not posting a great deal of new material during the year except our new 2012 and Education sections.

In late 2008, just a few days before the Presidential election we posted what we thought then was a primary reason among many other reasons, not to vote for Obama. 

At that time we quoted the Economist magazine, even though the British based magazine endorsed Obama with a couple of reservations.

The reservation we thought, and the one that gave us more pause than other reservations was the perception that Obama did not have what it would take to challenge, or control, the extreme psychopathic liberalism of his fellow Democrats in Congress already two years in the working.  Especially the powerful and dictatorial leadership style of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi.

Now, one year later, it appears that this weakness may be a major factor in what looks like it might be a serious crack in the wall.  The people of Massachusetts, of all places, decided to revolt against that state's ultra liberal history and elect, instead of a liberal Democrat, a Republican who publicly stated he would vote against the Obama Health Care overhaul, which also came to be known as Pelosicare.

As former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin said on Fox News: "It was just a matter of time."

Small business owner and Milwaukee resident Trisha Vukodinivich said in a USA Today feature in mid-January: "He has no control over that ridiculous congress.  They're spending money like there's no tomorrow, and he is pretty lackadaisical about security too."

Ms Vukodinivish also hit on a point that conservatives keep saying over and over again (including this website) regarding the basic principles of liberal policy making, and of course the prohibitively expensive,  and downright incomprehensible ... gigantic health care overhaul is a classic example.  In the same USA Today interview she says that the tons of time wasted on the health care bill so far: "... is just a freight train wreck waiting to happen.  Eventually they will run out of people to tax and money to give away."

Cheney Interview quote:

We thought that the response from the Director of Homeland Security to the so called "underware bomber" in December 2009 was so pathetic and confused with politics that we concurred with David Asman on Fox Business News, that without further thought, Janet Napolitano should be replaced. 

Like the Administration's apologetic obsession with providing prisoners at Guantanamo Bay public trials on US territory, Napolitano's reaction  represents a culture of mixed signals that translates on the geopolitical landscape as weakness based on a disturbing lack of strategic determination.   

January 30, 2010

Separate yet related to the latest news item regarding CNN's Christie Amanpour's bias reporting, it was interesting to watch at random the mainstream media's take on the "Underware bomber" issue.

Immediately following Napolitano's official response, a CNN anchor manipulated a reporter's story on that issue when the reporter informed the anchor of her research and interviews with people that could have no other conclusion than Napolitano's initial response was insufficient and unbelievable, they were justifiably furious.  The anchor said with an authoritative tone (paraphrase) Well, that's one take on it, and went to another story. 

What LightBookproductions would like to ask is:  What other reasonable "take" was there then? 

The biased CNN news anchor apparently wanted the viewer to think that the reporter was reporting on people who were over-reacting because the Obama Administration's media marching orders require that terrorist be portrayed as mere misfits. 

The President's subsequent statements and actions have not solved the problem of having someone who thinks like Napolitano at the head of Homeland Security, but the President's actions regarding that particular situation have validated the view that Napolitano might be alarmingly detached, because of politics, from understanding at the very least that the parameters of her job reach far beyond politics.

Sign the Petition

Americansforthemilitary.com

Notice: As Obama and the liberal Democrats in the 111th Congress prepare to take over in Washington and reintroduce legislation to repeal the 1993 law stating that homosexuals are not eligible to be in the military (Section 654, Title 10)...in early January 09 the Center for Military Readiness reported the following results from the annual active duty military personnel survey by the Military Times:  58% of active duty military personnel are against repealing the law.  Also, 10% of active duty personnel said they would leave the military if the law is repealed, and 14% said they would consider ending their military careers.  LightBookproductions encourages visitors to this website to click on the link above, sign the petition, and if you can afford it, contribute to the Center for Military Readiness, an organization that is fighting the legal battles to maintain the law. 

The rationale is still the same, there is no valid reason other than perhaps there are more homosexuals in number than a decade ago, to repeal the 1993 law regarding homosexuals and the military.  The majority of Congress, unless conservatives and moderates are  outnumbered by the radical leftwing, understand that the military is not and should never be a venue for socio-political experimentation. 

Reminder: Results from the annual active duty military personnel survey last year by the Military Times reported 58% of active duty military personnel are against repealing the law.  Also, 10% of active duty personnel said they would leave the military if the law is repealed, and 14% said they would consider ending their military careers.
