America's Quiver of Outrage is Empty

Don't step over the line and re-militarize the Rhineland. Absorbing Austria would cross a red line. Breaking up Czechoslovakia is unacceptable. Get out of Poland by the announced deadline. The rest was history.

Don't dare blow up another American military barracks overseas. Don't ever consider another attack on the World Trade Center. Don't even try blowing up one more American embassy in East Africa. Don't ever put a hole in a U.S. warship again. The rest was history.

President Obama issued yet another one of those sorts of warnings to stop the violence to Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych just before protestors drove him out of office. "There will be consequences if people step over the line," Obama threatened.

That 'line' is really just the crack up and down his butt cheeks. The only real damage he can do to anyone is trampling up and down on the US Constitution - he certainly can't/won't do anything internationally. He is too hamstrung by individualist axes-to-grind within his own power-elite cabal of an administration.

Toothless countries keep their borders open
and their “citizens” as slaves, without equal freedom
and with criminality treated with a laugh by the EXEMPT,
like in Obama’s Amerikkka.

The title says a LOT !

I'm intentionally not going to read the article ... I want that title to work on MY brain .. MY thoughts and the data I have in MY head.


THIS, btw, is a big problem in America ... nobody tries to personify what we read.

When I learned to read in the 1950's, I learned my best friend ... my imagination.
