Not suprisingly....

No mentions to the problems of Latin America in the State of the Union presidential address.
El Mico Putumayo Chavez has stolen a country, and unleash a red tidal wave in the region, and we have communist monkey replicants in Nicaragua, Ecuador, and Bolivia, threatening the stability of the region, still, no mention.
Of course just a nanosecond-long mention of Cuba so the politicos can pat themselves in the back and smile, but not a single word on the real problem of the perpetuation of the tyranny.
A lot of talk about immigration, but nothing on the dry-foot wet-foot.
It was very interesting to know that there are policies in place in order to wean the country of the dependence of the Arab oil. Not a word, though on what's happening with the recently nationalized Venezuelan oils.
A lot of plans for the Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security, which are broken beyond repair in my not so humble opinion, let's see if anything proposed yields any positive results, I am skeptic, to be honest. Something has to be done.
The core of the address was Iraq, and the advances of Iran, Al-Qaeda, and Hizbollah as destabilization forces in the Middle East.
I could write a lot about that, but hey, there are blogs dedicated to this theme exclusively from both the military and the civilian standpoints, and they do a great job.
As far as immigration, I hope that our borders can be protected as needed, to contain the tsunami of potential terrorists coming from the New Red Empire Of the South, the drug traffickers, the sleeper cell members that the Moors will try to send in, and the people traffickers.
By the same token, I wish that for one second the President gets enlightened and the dry-foot wet-foot gets eliminated. But it seems that it won't happend during W's tenure.
I wished for an strategy in dealing with the new perils we confront in Latin America, which is succumbing to terrorist-totalitarian and fascio-communist regimes. And of course I hoped that at least a few seconds were dedicated to the problem of Cuba, but it was only briefly mentioned in the following passage:
"And we will continue to speak out for the cause of freedom in places like Cuba, Belarus, and Burma - and continue to awaken the conscience of the world to save the people of Darfur."
Let's face it, Cuba is not even in the administration's radar as a problem, much less a critical one. Apparently, the Government has bought into the idea of "stability and no mass migrations", and damned be the Cuban people. A lot of talk, and no walk.
Yes, I know, we are living the Chinese curse, these are indeed interesting times.

http://www.yahoo.com/s/256157/*http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070124/ap_on_re_la_am_ca/venezuela_protest Too bad it wasn't more like the 500,000-1 million people that showed of for the "paro" back in April of 2002. After something like that, I don't blame them for a) not wanting to risk that many people or b) I can understand if they couldn't bring that many people. Regardless, I think we'll eventually have to deal with Central and South America, not to mention Cuba, because we're too focused on the Middle East. However, that's where the main heat is coming from. Can you really balme the government necessarily?

Our backyard is growing more dangerous every day. There's an article that came out today in Bloomberg, showing that Venezuela has spent more on arms purchases since 2005 than China, Pakistan or Iran, according the U.S. Defense Department! It may be ok to ignore el Mico Putumayo's verbal insults and gestures, but now we're talking about obtaining REAL firepower that threaten the security and stability of our hemisphere! And we're worried about the Middle East! OPEN YOUR EYES!!!

The heat is coming from two burners: The Middle East, and Latin America. The two of them are FRONT burners. And we are choosing to ignore one, because we are entangled with the other.
El Mico is friends with the Madman of Tehran, and they are collaborating very closely to attack and harm the United States in a variety of ways. I am not convinced that raul kasstro is not aware of this, I think that raul kasstro is a fully knowing participant of whatever evil plans they have.
Remember, kasstro has been the inspiration of all terrorists and fascio-communists, he's the granddaddy of terrorism, the first one to use terrorism to install himself in power and the first one who made terrorism a method of governance: State terrorism, or, as el che huevera put it on his heyday, The Revolutionary Terror.
Now we have the Middle East rife with terrorists, that's called full circle. The OSPAAAL (organization of solidarity with the peoples of Asia Africa and America Latina) was the first international of terror created by castro and guevara, where guevara said: we will create one two three, one thousand Viet Nams to defeat the United States, and that's the philosophy they are applying today, we cannot afford not to attack and destroy any of the viper nests, because they reproduce and come after us again. They need to be destroyed. Everywhere.

Getting off of foreign oil is simple. If I were made king I could accomplish the task in 2 or 3 years max'! I would declare all alternative fuels completely tax free because of this national emergency which now forces us to buy oil from S.O.B.'s like Hugo and the Iranians. The second those words left my lips billions would flow into investments for bio-fuels, photo-electric and other non oil-based fuels. So why can't our current royalty do this? There are three reasons: GREED, GREED and GREED! Pure and simple... All the little kings and queens of Washington enjoy the wealth and the power gained from taxing energy. Plus they know that the oil-based energy industry would go ballistic and once people were exposed to tax free renewable energy they would never be taxed for it again. Therefore Americans, it looks like these greedy Washington dogs are going to take us all down.

Still you all could try using this here Internet machine to pass the word around until everybody hears about TAX FREE RENEWABLE ENERGY NOW! Then at least King Tomas would not have to drive all the way to Baltimore, MD to fill up his royal 1987 Mercedes 300D with bio-diesel. That's no way to treat the king.

Oh yeah...following the King Tomas plan would easily permit America to stop buying Venezuelan and Iranian oil. Besides depressing world oil prices because our demand would drop so much, by not buying Hugo's oil even for one year would throw Venezuela into a severe economic depression. Hugo would be deposed by his own people and Cuba would immediately stop getting Venezuelan oil. It would be the final nail in the junta's coffin.

TAX FREE RENEWABLE ENERGY NOW!

Listen, this is EASY !
Want oil ..?
Open the FUCKING ALASKAN pipeline, FUCK the Caribou , sorry species DO die and WE humans need to survive. Conservationists may kiss my Cuban ass!
Or as Tomas said , appeal to the GREED of humanity ! 15 years TAX free abatement to all companies’ researching or producing crude alternatives.

Too easy uh? No we MUST get that oil boy and we must get it from as FAR away as we can get it. Today I got an interesting email (which I appreciated) from someone who seems to know about this stuff and he mentions that if crude drops another $6.00 ALL our problems go away! Now, let us think about this for a second. Why then did we let the price of oil escalate to a point where it almost broke our economy?
What we were NOT see this coming ? Shouldn’t SOMEONE be in charge of forecasting these things ? Or are we destined to continue living with a reactive government?
While pissing on fires is just NOT the right time to do flammability studies Skippy.
And that seems to be out MO lately. What fire do I put out NOW?
Well eventually a fire will get outta control and $6.00 a barrel will not make a fuck of difference because at the pace the economy is going we will NOT be able to afford gasoline even if it was at 1955 prices!
Now let us have a State of the Union address about THAT!
