Action Talks and Bullshit Walks


Honestly, I am trying...When my task of thinning out North Carolina Garnet Sweet Potatoes with caffeine free breast milk is complete, I want to wax on about my thankfulness for a year complete in beautiful Wilmington or the hour of child like delight spent boogie boarding in a perfectly temped sea (sans child). The simple pleasure of my creamy coffee or the blessings I feel buying heirloom tomatoes on the Cape Fear River. But the god of this world rears his evil head and the suppressed angst pours out.

As America sits on the brink of bombing Syria and CNN's top story is Miley Cyrus' performance on an award show glorifying bad behavior and mediocre talent... I dig deep to extinguish the utter aggravation I feel towards our nation's state and mankind's participation in it.

You would have to be living in a dark, dank hole under a heavy rock to not see that US Foreign Policy in the Middle East is a disaster. Prior to the election, Obama assured us that he LOVED the Muslim people and because they in turn understood him, he would bring peace in our time. This surpasses all delusions. In truth, absolute carnage and blood fills the streets of Benghazi, Damascus, and now Cairo. The Muslim Brotherhood reigns and our heads are so buried in our phones or worse to take notice.

 I struggle to juggle my new found (baby centered) agenda and adjust the sails for my changing winds andI remain constant in the determination to shed some light on a world gone astray.

Here's an excerpt from: Obama's long list of broken promises...>>

{There was also Mr. Obama’s pledge to stop the rise of the oceans. (It hasn’t.) To “remake the world” and to “heal the planet.” (Hardly.) To usher in a “new beginning” based on “mutual respect” with the Arab and Islamic world and “help answer the call for a new dawn in the Middle East.” (Come again?) To punish Syria if it crossed the “red line” of using chemical weapons. (The “red line” was crossed earlier this year–and nothing of consequence happened.) That as president “I don’t bluff.” (See the previous sentence on Syria.) And of course the much-ballyhooed Russian reset. (Tensions between Russia and the United States are increasing and examples of Russia undermining U.S. interests are multiplying.)And let’s not forget Mr. Obama’s promise to bring us together. (He is the most polarizing president in the history of Gallup polling.) Or his assurance to us that he would put an end to the type of politics that “breeds division and conflict and cynicism.” (All three have increased during the Obama presidency.)}
