What would John Kerry have done in an American war?

     America has been fighting terrorists since 2001.  Israel, our greatest ally in the Middle East, finally has the opportunity to go into Gaza and wipe out the organizations there that threaten it.  So here comes Secretary of State John Kerry--pressuring Israel for a cease fire.  To illustrate how absurd this diplomatic move is, allow me to draw a few hypothetical analogies to past American wars:

(1) What would have happened if upon crossing the Delaware, George Washington was approached by John Kerry who sought to broker a peace in order for the Colonials and Hessians to militarily disarm and celebrate Christmas together?

(2) What would have happened if as Robert E. Lee's army ventured into Pennsylvania, south of Gettysburg, John Kerry obtained an agreement that the forces of the North and South would not engage?

(3) What would have happened if as the transports carrying Allied troops landed on Normandy, they received a call not to advance because John Kerry had negotiated a cease fire with the Nazis?

It is my impression that Kerry does not understand war and thinks that his position compels him to do some kind of diplomatic thing--whatever that entails.  Ayn Rand wrote about the destructiveness of those who aspire to "unearned greatness".  John Kerry fits this model.

Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY) Reading List

     Over the last few years, I have read three books about the pharmaceutical company, Eli Lilly.  The following is a list of which investors and employees may want to take note:

(1) Eli Lilly: A Life, 1885-1977
-by James H. Madison (269 pages)

This is a book about the life and work of the Eli Lilly who was the grandson of the founding Colonel Eli Lilly who started the company.  It tells of how he led the company in the twentieth century--continuing to build it and facilitate its prosperity.

(2) All In A Century: The First 100 Years of Eli Lilly and Company
-by E. J. Kahn, Jr. (198 pages)

This is an older book that may be hard to find.  It was written around 1975--living up to its title of tracing the hundred years spanning the success of the company up until its publication.

(3) Eli Lilly
-by Jesse Russell and Ronald Cohn (86 pages)

While more of a booklet than a lengthy book, this publication focuses as much on the state of Indiana as on Eli Lilly & Co.  Being the biggest corporation based in Indiana, Eli Lilly and its place of residence have a significant effect upon each other.  Read Eli Lilly for a more fact-based accounting of the company, as well as unique information on its history and that of Indiana.

A Solution to the Illegal Immigration Impasse

     With Obama declaring that Central Americans will be given charity by the U.S. government and not be deported, a flood of illegal immigrants are crossing our southern border.

The politicians that are promoting this have one or two motives.  There is Obama's primary one--that being his ideologically driven multiculturalism.  However, most of the other politicians possess a different motive.

If Democrats can communicate that all of the "free stuff" (which is extorted from you and I) was made possible by the Democrat Party then they will get more votes when the immigrants are finally able to elect government officials.  This is the end goal of most of these politicians--the ones who don't have an ulterior motive to join Obama in his multiculturalist push.

But, why go to so much trouble to accommodate Central Americans and acclimate them to our language, economy, and democratic system?

There is growing opposition to Obama's manufactured burden that he is unloading upon us.  Most of the Republicans and Tea Party members want to stop the illegal immigration to secure America's border and fend off crime, terrorism and disease.

This is my idea:  Since America is waking up to the disaster of promising illegals a social service feeding trough north of the border, and some non-patriotic Republican politicians are considering the irrational position of trying to siphon off some of the future Democrat votes, why not give Central Americans the vote?

It could work like this:  Turn off all hope of social services for illegals, push back the hoards that have already punched through, and secure the border against threats to U.S. security.  Then, every two years, polling places could be set up throughout all of Central America to cast votes that will compete with northerly American ones to elect Congress and the President when candidates for those offices are eligible for election.

You may think I am joking in this blog--but, it's a much less painful and more practical way to accomplish what the Democrat Party is trying to do right now.

Only Vote for Candidates Who Pledge to Impeach Obama

     Obama has long since crossed the line into moral illegitimacy--even if he hadn't been born in Kenya.  What I couldn't understand in the last Congressional election was the lack of platform pledges to impeach him.

Demand that your prospective candidates promise to impeach Obama.  In fact, don't vote for anyone who doesn't--be they Republican or Tea Party members.

Even if America is spared only two years of fundamental destruction--or, just one--it will make a big difference to our lives, liberty, property, and pursuit of happiness.

History Shines Optimistic Hope on America

     Back in the Middle Ages, tyrants ruled at the expense of the oppressed, prostrate peasants who were sentenced to work from sun up to sun down--in order to barely get by.  How did Europe, and especially England, result in the Industrial Revolution and Capitalism despite the oppression of the dictators?

I drive my car at work, and like to listen to Objectivist classes.  One course is The History of England by Andrew Lewis.  It tells of the violent invasions and bloody wars from tyrants raging across that island.  A major development that led to Capitalism was the success of the attempts of the individual people to limit the power of the king.

Fast-forward to America, today.  Obama is declaring himself a "king".  If history is any indication, Americans still have a chance to bring about the government's recognition of their Individual Rights and Capitalist system.  But, along with an improved philosophy, it hinges on Individual Patriots' ability to limit the power of the "king".

What will you do?
