"SHOOT-em-UP" ? or: DIPLOMACY ??

Knee-Jerk "Reach" for the GUN??

There's "High-Anxiety" on our Hard Right, and they're showing early tendencies of a nervous breakdown, as they realize that President Obama knows what he's doing -- and has been proven, by events, to be CORRECT: both, in his views and  his strategies.

Craven John, and Sniveling Mitch are "stuck" in the "muck" they played in to obtain and secure their positions in our Congress.  John has taken extreme steps in his outreach to the likes of  Netanyahu.  John appears to be the best Netanyahu can do in his frantic efforts to save his political hide in Israel  U.S. Jews will have to choose where their Allegiance lies??.


The "muck"  defines Republican "Conservatism", and is a cancerous mixture of racism, chauvanism, white supremacy, and tribal survival; all stirred into a "stew" in which "Conservatives" will have to navigate their way to 2016.

Internationally, things are tenuous, at best:  Deflation threatens in the E.U.; death of the Saudi Prince; collapse of the Yemini government; just to name a few.  Netanyahu's meddling can only make things worse.  Under the cover of all of these events, Putin is steadily eating away at Ukraine. 

Enter Clint Eastwood, whose career has spanned "Rowdy Yates" to  "American Sniper".  He stopped by the Repoob Convention in 2012, to talk to an empty chair and "disrespect" President Obama for that crowd of "Conservatives".  Clint Capitalizes on the "mass guilt" our public feels for not "getting involved" in Iraq or Iran; and for leaving the heavy sacrifices to 1% of our population.   Hollywood created "shoot-em-ups" from the real story of white, male, "gun-slinger-misfits",  who fled to the West in the early 1800s to terrorize Native Americans,  Hollywood turned them into "moral" figures such as "Cowboys" and 'Texas Rangers".  The Military we got from our post-9/11 invasion of the Middle East gave us Abu Ghraib, and the American Sniper.  The "bonding of brothers"  phenomenon that occurred among them in Iraq, borders on white tribalism; a tribalism that will not permit a participant to return to "normalcy".

The Irony is that Mountain Men (black and white) coexisted in peace with Native Peoples.  When the Gunslingers arrived, along with the Wagon Trains of white settlers,  EVERYTHING transitioned to the sorry history we all know.

Stay Vigilant!  "Conservatives want us to stay stuck in their "muck".  The rest of us know we have to MOVE ON.  James Fallows, of the Atlantic Monthly, decribes the "Tragedy" that has befallen our Military over the interim between 1945 and today.
