Curious...

Isn't it odd that the news of the Supreme Court reversing yet another of Judge Sotomayor's cases has all but vanished? She ruled that the New Haven (CT) Fire Dept Lt/Capt promotion test results from 2003 couldn't have been valid because no minority candidates passed the test! This therefore denied promotion to any non-minority candidate who DID pass. The Supreme Court, to which she aspires to be a member, has reversed this ruling in a 5-4 judgment.

The blatant liberal agenda set forth by this woman is not needed in our Nation's highest court. I think the nomination itself speaks volumes to Pres. Obama's agenda as well.

The rhetoric sounding from two sides of the globe aimed at the US bring some thoughts to mind...

Who do these third world wannabes think they are? And they're going to publicly call out the US on a global platform? Get real!

Truth be known, North Korea and Iran are scared shitless of the US, as well they should be. And not only from a military standpoint. Let me explain...

I have spoken with people who have actually been in Iran. They tell me that every day, Iranians would tell them "we love Americans, we love America." Now why do you think that is? Because of our apparent knack to run our economy in the ground? Because of the greed of a few misfits who made international news? Because of our newly found international soccer/football prowess? No. These people love Americans and America because of our FREEDOM. The love America because the PEOPLE have that right, and the ability to effect change in their government. Sure, the people of Iran overthrew the Shah in 1980 and effected a serious change in the government. And you know what? They want change AGAIN. They want change they can feel, change they can see, change they can taste. They want the right to be able to speak without the fear of retribution from those they disagree with. Mr. Ahmadinejad says whatever he wants about whomever he chooses, but not every Iranian has that right. I wonder why...

Swing around the world to North Korea and Mr Kim. PUH-LEEEESE!!! This clown has Small Man Syndrome and not a friend in the world! China doesn't even know what to do about the little bastard! The man and unfortunately his people are pariahs on the world stage. The mass graves from the famine brought on by the Dear Leader's father are so damn big they can be seen from outer space! People are starving, children are dying just so Kim can have nuclear weapons?

To both of these "leaders": your people have had enough and they are not going to sit still any longer and let you dictate your outdated and outmoded beliefs. And on top of everything else, you want to call out the strongest, greatest nation in the world? A nation founded upon the very principles your own people are beginning to embrace? You are going to embarrass and humiliate yourselves on the world stage.

Mr Kim is most likely going to lob a nuke into Japan. A country that has done nothing to provoke him, only because he can't reach the US. That's terribly sad. The US will most likely ask Japan to not retaliate. He's probably going to lob a few into South Korea as well, my guess would be at US Military Installations such as Osan AB and Camp Humphries. Will we retaliate? I would ask Mr Obama that very question. Sure, we need to temper our tongues these days when dealing with these two, but let there be no mistake. We need to respond, we need to respond firmly, we need to respond with resolve. They need to be made to understand that if they want to come and play in the Big Game, they better be prepared for the consequences because there will be consequences. To paraphrase Mr Ahmadinejad: Crushing consequences. This guy has no concept of what "crushing" means...

So you want to call out the United States of America? Here's a couple of words for you:

Bring it.
