RE: Who is charge here?

Congresswoman Frankel,

Can you tell me, as a constituent, why the Obama administration would announce that 35,000 Iraqi troops would invade Mosul by April? It has not yet been announced whether it will be a night time attack or a day time attack. Nothing could go wrong there, right?

Do you have any idea what this country will do when Czar Puitn, having digested, anaconda-like, Ukraine, goes to the border of Estonia with 2 or 3 divisions armed, ready, bellicose, and eager? In case you don’t know, Estonia is a member of NATO and, as such, is entitled to protection by other member states should they be invaded. The NATO treaty, having been approved in the proper Constitutional manner, has the force of law. 

What will we do? What should we do? After all, “they are a faraway people of whom we know little”. That didn’t work out too well when Chamberlain said but, quien sabe, maybe the leopard has changed its spots. Maybe the lambs will queue up to snuggle with Simba. Maybe my brother the hunchback will straighten up. 

If poverty is the root cause of terrorism why didn’t Kristallnacht happen in this country in the 1930s? At one point, the unemployment rate was 25%. If memory serves, the violent crime rate declined in ‘30s.

I am not aware of any Swedish-American Lutherans or Siciilian Catholics, or Moldovian Anabaptists who cut the heads of prisoners, who crucify Christians, who Joan of Arc POWs, or  who kidnap thousands of pre-teens to become sexual slaves. 

Do you suppose the improper implementation of supply-side economics has anything to do with it?

Would a successful “shovel ready” jobs program that led to a never ending “Summer of Revival” for the “wretched of the earth” have allowed the Jews randomly chosen in a Kosher butcher shop on a Friday afternoon – Let that sink in – Jews? Kosher butcher? Friday afternoon? Try to figure the odds on that being random – to still have heads to which they could put a yarmulke? 

As bad as having someone piss on your back is it is made worse when the pisser wants you to join him in a chorus of “I’m Singing in the Rain”. Now that’s chutzpah!

I have still more bad news for you. 

Mitch Caesar, the Big Boss Man of the Broward County Democratic Party, announced on Sunday in the Sun Sentinel that women are topped out at 82% of men’s pay. I hope that now that you know it that you and Little Debbie Wasserman-Schultz are able to contain your justifiable outrage should you find yourself in the same plane as Congressguy Alcee Hastings. At the very least he should buy all the drinks on the flight home. Flowers and chocolates would be a nice gesture also.
