Russia arms sales to Syria 'don't help peace': Israel

So it has been a while since I wrote some thoughts on here, but seeing this headline just made me wonder…. “Russia arms sales to Syria 'don't help peace': Israel”
Mr. Lieberman called Russia "hypocritical" over their stance on terrorism. This is mind blowing, but one should expect from politician.
Why is anything that would make Israel neighbor stronger in protecting themselves is called hypocrite, while US supplies arms every year to Israel?
Supplying Israel with:
1) F-35 Jet fighter AND fuel for the fighters
2) Patriot missiles
3) 66mm anti-armort weapons and training rockets
4) GBU-0 small diameter bombs by Boeing
5) Combat ships by Lockheed that is equipped with 2MK 41 Vertical Launch System
What would we call this kind of a supply against peace in region Mr. Lieberman? I Know, I Know, its called Israel defending itself from its enemies that surround it. But if the so called “enemy” is asked to not have a low tech Mi-G fighters then why would Israel needs all the high tech weaponry to defend itself?

For true peace in region one must dismantle all weapons in that region (including the nuclear ones that Israel keeps a tight lid on).

Let us not use the phrase either you are with us or against us. This phrase leads to no where. A true leader and decisive is required to be able to move this region forward. Listening to special interest groups will always lead us to the path of darkness vs the path of illumination.

TEA Party

I know it has been a while since I wrote down some thoughts, but this tea party movement is getting into me.

The TEA party movement claims they do not belong or side with any party is puzzling to me.
I believe this party is wearing the vale of hard core conservative party, nothing wrong with that if you know where you stand. Where I have a problem with is the idea to claim you are independent yet the majority of their speakers are hard core right wing from Sarah Palin to Former House Majority Leader Dick Armey and to getting advice from Virginia based organization that trains conservative leaders.
This party would have my respect if they do not hide behind a vale of Independent thinking, how anyone could hold an intelligent conversation when the premise of this party is that taxes are is a socialist thing and this country is not a democratic one?

First of all to all TEA party people, I do agree excessive taxes would put a hamper on this country growth and being an entrepreneur leader in this global economy. But to say taxes is a socialist agenda then how do you propose to pay for our civil servants, such as police departments who protect our community, fire departments who rush to your rescue and so on.

Second, to all the senior people joining this party shouting socialist government, I stand 100% behind you. I say cancel Medicare and Social Security for everyone and save this country. Why in the world the government needs to take care of the elderly! Are we becoming socialist, I’m an American where I do not care for my next door neighbor. The elderly who didn’t save enough for retirement I say shame on you, why you asking for asking the country to help you with your Medical needs. As for Social Security which is a sticky situation since the government is taking the money from our pay to fund this program I say END it. Why? Well if we END the Social Security the government would have to find a different way to borrow cash to fund its growth (which I truly do not support) and in the process might make our government more leaner and not waste cash.
I say if government wants to make sure we have cash to retire then put that money into an account I have access to and the government can NOT touch.

Finally, the USA needs to stop policing and giving aid to every country around the globe while we are facing a recession and a major deficit.

I say to all the TEA party give a solution to the problem at hand and not just rally for the sake of it. Propose how you can reduce deficit and move this country forward and you will see me cheering for you. Last thing I need is whinny cry people on my hand to pacify. Be productive, I’m certain among you there are intelligent accountant, leaders, finance people that can come up with a better plan to help the country rather than showing my gun is bigger than you and calling names.

President Obama Budget and Security at Airport

Reading in USA Today (2/2/2010) "Budget at a Glance" and below it "Airport-security plan calls for 500 body scanner in 2011".

First I'm glad to see we finally moving to full body scanners to get security lines moving faster (no more removing jackets and other items you have on) to go thru a metal detector. Problem though is that the government is spending $215 million to outfit nearly half the airports with those scanners (500 to be acquire combined with 450 to be bought this year), but the defense budget is set at $192.3 BILLION. Isn't defense budget is to protect us from outside threats and keep waging a war no one wants, WELL how about this for a radical idea, take the $0.3 from the $192.3billion and we have an extra $300million to outfit the rest of the airport in the country and have extra to send to international airports to protect flights heading to the US. Would the defense department really miss those $300 million, heck I would even classify it as part of defense to begin with.

Energy, will I'm glad we are seeing a push for nuclear energy now. If we have to "tax" coal fired plants (cap and trade) and make consumers pay for this tax hike, provide us with alternative ebergy such as nuclear that can be cheaper.
