A NATO-sponsored election?

Elections… yes, we know them well. But in Syria?

By Jack E. Lohman

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could trust NATO or some other World governing body to execute elections when a country’s strife becomes so great that its citizens are being routinely killed? By their own government! Like in Syria or Egypt II?

Let’s suppose that via a vote of the major countries they were able to say, “Now wait guys, we met and have determined that only a new vote will be fair to all and minimize bloodshed. If you wish, we will help conduct the vote. The old regime can also run for reelection and if they win it will be a reaffirmation of the citizens. And we NATO nations will help stabilize the situation.”

“But if the old regime loses it’s a turnover time, and we’ll make departure of the current regime safe and comfortable.”

And then, separate the country into regions for each religion. I think they call that federalism.

Am I looking through rose-colored glasses? Alternatively, we could just say “OR ELSE!”

Give me a break. I don’t want government in my bedroom. Period!!! Not here; not anywhere!

By Jack E. Lohman

So now we have the conservative Republicans trying to out-conservative the other conservative Republicans. And some are complaining about Obama imposing his views on the public, when they want to impose their own restrictions. And Republicans criticizing Obama when it is they who blocked progress!

Does that sound like a politician or what?

I absolutely abhor abortions, but I think this is a very difficult decision that must be made by the woman alone. Certainly not me and certainly not her politician! It’s hard enough as it is, spending the rest of ones life wondering whether the decision was right or wrong, perhaps regretting it, she surely doesn’t need me or some busy-body politician sticking their nose in the matter.

I won’t go hunting because I cherish life, and fortunately I’ve never been pregnant.

And this idea of taxpayers funding the Right to Life or Planned Parenthood, or Viagra or vasectomies or contraception? What part of NO TAX MONEY is so hard to understand?

Now even I’m confused. Am I a right-wing wacko or left-wing wacko?

Let the dogs fight.

And I’m a christian, though not a good one. But I’m absolutely unconcerned if the Baptists are better people than the Catholics; or vise versa. I think both the Tea Partiers and Occupiers are frustrated, and fighting against political corruption whether they know it or not.

What I really care about is whether the candidate is going to represent me or his campaign funders. I care if he is corrupt.

So far I’ve been convinced of one thing: neither Obama nor any of his Republican challengers are fit for the job.
