I wish there was a way to see at, the same time, all of the Tea Party presidential candidates (Republican Party is dead) of Pawlenty, Romney, Gingrich, and Santorum take on President Obama in November 2012.
You see, I believe Mr. Obama could defeat them all combined because of his brilliance, even-temper and his never ending quest to unite the citizens of the Republic and continue moving the nation towards prosperity for all citizens and not for a selected few.
The Tea Party candidates, characters on the other hand, who will never be president of the Republic continue to read from the same silly script of tax cuts for the wealthy, blah, blah, blah. We could bill it as "Show Down 2012! President Obama vs. the Tea Party Presidential Candidates." It would be like watching Bruce Lee beat up on the Marx Brothers.
Is this the best that the Tea Party can offer America--the likes of Tim "Flip flop" Pawlenty, Mitt "I'm indecisive about my own health care legislation" Romney, Newt the "Scam Artist" Gingrich and Rick "We found WMD's" Santorum?
The Tea Party is fielding some of the most inept group of presidential candidates to date in its astro turf infancy and the only time any of these scrubs, eh, candidates will get in the White House is during a guided tour.
Unless he falls out of Air Force One or becomes Sara "Ms. Irrelevant" Palin's dance partner on "Dancing with the Stars," President Obama will win a second term as president and can cement his place as one of the great presidents. As for the Tea Party, its back to the drawing board; one more time of putting together a group of misguided and misinformed misfits calling them presidential candidates and they'll end up like the Republican Party.

“Grossly Incompetent”
We've known all along about the gross incompetence and cowardice of the Bush administration in apprehending Osama Bin Laden, but
Pakistan has an equally and grossly inept government and military as well.
The government of Pakistan stated that they were not harboring Osama Bin Laden, nor did they know his whereabouts and yet, Osama and his family lived within striking distance of the Pakistan Military Academy. So, if the government truly didn't know that Bin Laden was hiding in plain sight, then the government has a severe lack of credibility. What a conundrum they now face.
When a "so-called friend" of America, as Pakistan claims to be, is this shoddy they deserve condemnation and a stop payment on current and future financial support from the Republic. Further, all American forces must leave Pakistan post haste.
A country whose government allows terrorists to move about freely is an enemy of humanity.

“Final Chapter”
Bin Laden is dead! We cannot deny the inner peace many citizens of the Republic may currently be enjoying. Bin Laden murdered innocent people and spent the next 10 years broadcasting his dastardly deed to anyone who would listen.
One of Mr. Obama's goals was to capture, or in the words of one my students-- "Slump" Bin Laden; he was dealt the latter. Had Mr. Obama took the attitude that Bush had at the time of his presidency which was "Bid Laden may never be found," he still would have been making poorly acting videos spewing his hatred for America and threatening us with more terrorist attacks. It appears Mr. Bush wasn't keeping America as safe as he was keeping the now extinct Osama Bin Laden.
Mr. Bush, arrogantly, turned his attention away from the person who delighted in the massacre of more than 3,000 Americans on September 11, 2001 and instead, went after Saddam Hussein, a devious man in his own right but who had nothing to do with what I call my generation's Pearl Harbor. Mr. Bush would then dupe more than 60% of the citizenry and its elected officials into going to war that's still costing the lives of thousands of American soldiers and bankrupting the Republic.
Had Mr. Bush kept his eyes on the prize--which was Bin Laden and had more Americans held him accountable it never would have taken more than a decade of locating a man hiding in cave after cave in the mountains of Pakistan. President Obama completed in 3 years what Mr. Bush couldn't do in 8 years which was to bring an end to a man that altered the lives us all that lived and died through that tragic and unforgettable day of 9/11.
The death of Osama Bin Laden is the final chapter of a wasted life of a man filled with self-hatred and inner turmoil. He released his inner demons on the innocent but he lived long enough to witness them rise from the ashes of Ground Zero into history, our conscious and our hearts. Bin Laden’s goal to inspire fear in us was a complete failure. It is also the final chapter of a president that placed personal objectives ahead of our nation and the safety of its people. President Bush was weak, afraid and quite possibly--willing to capitulate and sacrifice the lives of more than 3,000 innocent souls.

“Silly of Me.”
Now some of you will say, “Silly Anthony, the Republic and its citizens have come too far for racism talk. African Americans, Latino Americans, Asian Americans, Jewish Americans, Italian and Irish Americans are all wrapped in the same blanket of equality." But of course, that statement is nothing more than a fairy tale that falls flat with even a 5 year old.
True, America has come a long way since setting people on fire, or participating in public lynching’s that everyone from the minister to an entire family would be in attendance with picnic baskets and displayed gleeful excitement of watching a man getting his genitals and ears hacked off or gutting a pregnant woman, then stomping the child as 20,000 people cheered.
However, racism is alive and well and when more than 25% of Republicans, eh, Tea Party members believe that Mr. Obama is not a citizen; we should all be appalled and outraged. Intelligent Americans, however, have no interest or time for this racist perversion and shame on those Americans that cheered these "simpletons” of Trump, Limbaugh, and the "birther nation" that like a drug dealing pimp, have injected the public with this infectious and inferno disease of hate.
Although, Chester A. Arthur and Martin Van Buren’s citizenship came under scrutiny, no modern day president of the United States has "ever" had to prove he was a citizen of the Republic--until now.
To quote President Obama "We do not have time for this kind of silliness."

"Scorn and Degradation"
Incarcerating a homeless mother for placing her 5 year old child in a school that is not in her district, despite the fact that the van that she lives out of is located near the school, is one of those grave injustices that is occurring in America with perfect regularity.
When the wealthy send their children to excellent schools--outside their
district--they're considered all that is right with the Republic, but when the middle class, working poor, poor and those families living "below" the poverty line send their children to the same schools to obtain a first rate education--even if the school is not located in their neighborhoods--they are met with scorn, degradation, and branded a criminal as if they somehow committed treason against the Republic.
America's judicial officials are convicting and sentencing parents to prison because they are enrolling their children in schools outside their district, while individuals that performed torture tactics to extract information and career politicians violating laws bent on destroying collective bargaining and engaging in vote tampering and other political corruption are allowed carte blanch to continue their wicked ways.
The media dropped the ball again! In their relentless pursuit of focusing on a nitwit, an American "joke" wearing a toupee so bad that the "Hair Club for Men" wouldn't endorse him, they missed an opportunity to show the world how horrible parents are treated for merely wanting a better life for their children.
So much for the American Dream philosophy.

"A Dangerous Mix of Hypocrisy and Stupidity"
Angel Cruz supposedly will not support Councilwoman Maria Quinones-Sanchez's bid for re-election because according to his logic, "I don't believe she is running. She has yet to reach out to me, especially since I was her mentor and her strongest supporter last time out."
What's interesting is that Mr. Cruz has yet to "reach out to the residents in 180th District" in addressing and providing the community with much needed services since he participated in and was reelected in one of the most "corrupt primaries" in Philadelphia between Mr. Cruz and Mr. Ramos.
News flash Mr. Cruz! Mrs. Quinones-Sanchez is running to retain her position as Councilwoman and it could be maybe she's not seeking your support because you lack integrity and leadership.
Mr. Cruz should spend more time in serving the needs of the constituents of the 180th District instead wasting time on dreams of grandeur of his greatness.
The 180th District cannot tolerate the weak, incompetent, and insufferable Angel Cruz and his ilk.

“Greatest Con Game.”
There were still millions of middle class and working poor citizens attempting to beat today's tax filing deadline but what's more interesting is that America's wealthiest population continue to pay considerably less taxes now than they did more than 20 years ago, and half of U.S. households pay no income taxes at all according to the IRS tax returns with the 400 highest adjusted gross incomes each year.
Accordingly, the average income on those returns in 2007, the latest year for IRS data, was nearly $345,000,000. Their average federal income tax rate was 17 percent, down from 26 percent in 1992.
“Providing tax breaks to the wealthy will stimulate economic growth in the Republic” is one the greatest con games ever played on the middle class, working poor and poor American.
