I would truly like to know

WHAT are the accomplishments of B. H. Øbama, that he is so insufferably arrogant?  I've no use for John Kerry, but at least he {theoretically} put his life on the line, while serving in the U. S. Navy - post-service, he gave full vent to being a jerk, but he at least made the effort.

BHØ, on the other hand, grew up with maybe not a silver spoon, but a comfortable upper middle-class lifestyle, provided by the grandmother he threw under the bus in his first Presidential campaign.  He & his 'Choom Gang' seemed to have lived lives of ease in Hawaii - I've never heard/read of his working over summers or after school.  We're spoon-fed that he went to Occidental College, then on to various & sundry other institutions of higher learning, though those darn transcripts keep playing hide-&-seek. 

Is it a function of today's electronic over-dependence, that he was taken at face value, with never having to prove he was qualified to be dog catcher, much less POTUS?  In large part, those of us utilizing these wonders of the Web are at a ............................... disadvantage {?} ......................................... in that, so much of what constitutes our interactions are limited by the boundaries of the Web - meeting people face-to-face, or speaking with them on the telephone, are quickly going the route of the dinosaurs.  I'm guilty as anyone, though I have met Bayou Renaissance Man, Old NFO, LawDog,  Phlegm Fatale, and quite a few former Marines.  What we all have in common, to borrow an idea from Desiderata, is a belief that the U. S. A.., "With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful nation."

God knows our country isn't perfect, but we're a damn sight better than any alternative - and these are not just the jingoist rantings of one who has never experienced life elsewhere - I visited Morocco in '95, we lived in Monterrey, NL, Mexico for 2 1/2 years, and I had the opportunity to visit the FodGuy in the Czech Republic when he was working there for 2 years, was able to experience Prague, Plzen, Graz, Austria, and Munich, Germany.  Each country/region has their own charms and customs *I* wouldn't mind incorporating here.  But, at the end of the day, HERE, whether in Scranton, or Hershey, or the wilds NNE of Houston, is home.

This rather lengthy {for me} lead-in is to make the point that, this "administration's" current actions/inactions regarding the situation on our southern border are Constitutionally unacceptable.  If I had been informed 7 years ago, that our sovereignty as a nation would be for sale, for votes and "cheap labor", I would have told my informant they were crazy. 

The Democrats are absolutely loathesome in their pandering and claims of 'inclusiveness' - for anybody under the age of 50, just for sh*ts & giggles, look up the political affiliations of the majority of KKK members. 

The RINOs are no better, THEY'RE just pandering to business & industry, for 'cheap labor' - cheap for WHOM?  Certainly not for 'regular Americans', who have to foot the bill for housing, food, clothing {underwear, anyone?}, medical care, education, and in many instances, incarceration, for the illegal aliens.  "We" will also be subsidizing their enrollment in ØbamaCare.  Show me ANY other nation that wins a war, then takes this level of care of those over whom they were victorious - and we DID win the war with Mexico, 'way back in 1836.

To add insult to injury, the illegals are permitted to fly commercially all over the U.S., without anywhere NEAR the level of screening American citizens must undergo, to fly.  I wonder what the airlines are doing to preclude paying passengers' contracting lice/scabies/bedbugs, after they've transported the illegals. 

Twenty five percent of the 'unaccompanied {illegal alien} minors' are estimated to be coming from Mexico; the rest are {presumptively} from Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador.  The majority of adults are from Mexico.  They are NOT 'fleeing gangs/violence/drugs/etc.' - they are NOT refugees, unless one considers economics a reason for fleeing.  Their loyalty is to their birth nations, NOT to the U.S.A. - is anyone really so obtuse as to believe that coyotes  would refuse the very lucrative offers of some who would love to top 9-11?

Then there are the diseases being seen that haven't been seen here in years if not decades.  I worry about the FodGuy being exposed to drug-resistant TB, among other pulmonary diseases being allowed full freedom of this country. 

There is no excuse for the current state of affairs; it is a slow-motion catastrophe, at least on the scale of hurricane Katrina - and like Nero fiddling while Rome burned, Øbama is off on fundraisers/golfing/whatever.   

UPDATE:  Also, just 'for the record' - HOW is it that "we" are just now receiving 'travel advisories' re:  western coastal areas of Africa, due to the Ebola outbreak; yet when ONE {count'em, ONE} rocket from the Gaza Strip landed near the Tel Aviv airport, the gutless wonders of U.S. 'foreign policy' advised against  travel to Israel.  Personally, I've about had it with this 'administration's' blaming all & sundry ills on Israel; Israelis are not saints, but dammit, they don't practice the barbarism their "neighbors" do - PREDICTION:  The next 9-11 will be heavily stacked with "Palestinians", because even IF Israel were to disappear overnight, they would still blame any/everyone for their miserable existences ..................................... God forbid they take responsibility for their own lives ...................................
