North Korea

March 22nd, 2009 · 3 Comments

So far, things don’t look to good for the two US journalists being held in North Korea. I am sure a lot of behind-the-scenes wrangling is going on at the State Department, but if the US can’t get them back without having to give in to N. Korean concessions, this could get ugly.

Stumble It!

    I am sure that the new world optomism and support for our historic President, and his willingness to listen to the views of other nations and work with them in a new spirit of cooperation will lead to an early resolution.

    Poland has “HOPE” that Obama will not “abandon” them:

    And Chavez says Obama is an ignoramus:

    But most of the world supports Obama! And we can all take comfort in that. After all, as Zakaria has siad, Obama’s moves in foreign policy have been impressive! At least to Zakaria!

    Here is another example of the “Class Divide”. Why does the AP have to single out a classification of the “ultra-rich”? Is it to demonize people who have more than others? Is it to stoke hatred of “the rich”? Is it to minimize the tragedy of the loss of innocent life (who cares if they died, they were only unltra-rich)?

    I see this happening not just with the far-left loonies, but now it is creeping into MSM and into the rhetoric of our own government leaders. If we continue down this road of singling out those we are jealous of for scorn, then we could easily follow the path of the “Decemberists” in the not too distant future.
