Your Kampf? What About Our Kampf!?

With the recent shocking news of the shooting of Arizona Democratic Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, it’s like deja vu all over again. My first thoughts were that this incident was related to all the woes in the state of Arizona concerning immigration rulings and that it most likely was an non-US citizen that broke down and committed the act. However, it was one of our own.

The deja vu comes in when I remember back to my initial opinions upon hearing of the Oklahoma City bombing and that it was in all likelihood a foreign terrorist strike. Again, it was one of us. Similar news stories, like the recent military base shootings and the Washington D.C. area sniper in the not so distant past, cause me to recognize a strange pattern. It’s true that throughout history there has been internal conflict not only our country but every nation in the world, but in light of the 9/11 attacks, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as our economic conditions, these events seem to have more of a rattling impact.

Sure, there were many signs that this Jared Lee Loughner kid was a potential “snap” case (meth freak in my opinion), but if our authorities had to act upon every seemingly strange piece of evidence in today’s society, there would be no resources left to apply to anything else.

I feel certain about one thing, these types of events will soon increase dramatically, especially with the influx of our troops returning from multiple tours of duty in the mid-east. Hopefully I’m wrong on that as well.

There is a famous quote from a famous person, not sure who because many have been credited with the phrase, but it was something along the lines of “we have found the enemy, and they are us”.

Ethics & Morality

Question: Is it moral to yell “Movie” in a crowded firehouse?

Something to ponder.

Our New President!

I captured the CNN eulogy by our President Obama to the Kennedy family today.  The most stunning oration ever put together in my lifetime!  We have a solid winner with our new president, and even though I was brought up as a Republican, it doesn’t matter… We are all in this together. The multiple party system has it advantages. 

Hat’s off to our leader!

In The Public Eye …

This is the initial entry into this weblog which happens to coincide with the historic inauguration and first couple of days in office for our new American President Barack Obama.  It will be interesting to see how he steps in and assumes control in the early days in the White House.  President Obama seems to exude a great deal of confidence in my opinion, I just hope he is able to sustain the aura and not fade with the first major set back that occurs.  There will certainly be set backs and they will cause distraction from the incredible tasks that this administration  faces.   Focus will be key.

We’ll see how it goes!
