Ugly American

After a wonderful trip to Italy one of the things that made me originally not want to go what the story that "other countries" don't like us. Bush this, imperialism that and all the other lines that go with it.

After spending time observing people from the world in Italy, I came to the realization that the reason other coutries made not like the USA or the UK for that matter isn't because of politics or status. The reason other countries don't like America is because of Americans.

I watched people complaining that "no one speaks English" or asking "do you have American coffee?"

I know it's easy to blame politics past and present on the world's opinion of us, but if you want other countries to have a good opinion of America, act respectful when you're abroad

That simple

Palin 2012

Sarah Palin announced her not running for re-election and turning power over to the LG of Alaska.

Love her or hate her,the left certainly hates her,which frankly,makes me like her.

The big bash from the left was "she's not too smart". I found her "down home" method of relating very refreshing and I enjoy listening to her non-telepromter speeches.

Let's remember there is a big difference between sounding smart and being smart.

"You Betcha"

EPA Internal Report Skeptical of ‘Global Warming’

Why do you think we need to pass all the laws we can about climate change,because once the truth comes out, no one will want to.

Approval ratings and lies

This doesn't have anything to do with science, it has to do with politics.

CIA Techniques-Past and Present

As another round of politics as usual, we see the Obama Administration going back and forth on CIA information extraction techniques and who to "blame" and who to arrest.

I guess the part that we've forgotten is that the methods used aren't new and if you were to peer into the past, the "playbook" used by CIA has been around since the 60's and every President since then has closed one eye to there methods.

Chemical and Germ warfare used on our own troops and allies, brainwashing of mental patients. Does anyone really want to get into this? Because if we do, it's going to cover PLENTY of people, past and present.

The disappointing part is, politics as usual. No Hope, No Change here. Just S.S.D.P.
