can cure stupidity,

and higher education

 positively fortifies it. "

" Never wrestle with pigs.

You both get dirty

and the pig likes it."

George Bernard Shaw

" If your enemy is hungry, 

give him bread to eat;

And if he is thirsty, 

give him water to drink;

For so you will 

heap coals of fire 

on his head,

And the Lord 

will reward you."

Bible, Proverbs 25

[ Sounds more satisfying

 than arguing! ]

 =^..^=   

Every issue has two sides to it.

Through discussion & debate
we all arrive at a 
better understanding.

That's how it's
Supposed to Work!

I no longer 
argue with,

- or long listen to -

aggrieved loudmouths

who do not yet

understand this.

They do not care 

to learn

possible flaws

in their lack

of reasoning,

but believe 

what they often hear,

and hear only

what they believe.

I agreeably refuse
to take notice,
to engage or respond
to their tirade
while remaining
friendly,
and open to
other topics and
activities.

I'm simply 
"Over It"

How about YOU?

I wish you could hear

the birds, waterfowl,

gently lapping waters,

and the breezes.

Yes, the Obama family

 is vacationing in Kailua.

If you paddle down this marsh

toward the beach,

you will meet Navy seals

before you get to see the Coast Guard cutter

and the other armed vessels lurking 

out of sight near the First Family's

 beach-front resting place.

The Obamas RENT the property.

There is no family compound.

Barack grew up in rental and

UH faculty housing.

During High School years,

 he lived in a modest apartment

(walking distance from here)

with his grandmother "Toot"

and WWII vet grandfather,

 Stanley.

President Obama has been forced

to release his Birth Certificate.

Obviously, he is SO DIFFERENT

that many Americans

'just feel that they're not sure about him.'

For one thing, he graduated Cum Laude

 from our most esteemed University,

he held the top spot

at the top US law school

as editor of the Harvard Law Review. 

How did he do that?

I mean, just LOOK at him!

Something fishy must be going on.

That wife of his has suggested

that school children

eat healthy food,

and that we honor

military families.

How DARE she!? 

Someone like

THAT

will never tell ME

what to do!

You know, 

some of the most serious problems

our nation, and our international system

have ever faced

are demanding our attention.

My neighbors here on Oahu,

or their children,

are on their fifth deployment

to Afghanistan.

WWII, our US Civil War,

The Great War;

They lasted what, four years?

Hawaii people are raising funds

and visiting family & friends in

Japan (remember Japan?)

to help in the devastation.

Americans are more dispirited,

including Hawaii residents,

than I have ever seen them.

The middle class is so decimated;

The gulf between those

who think everything

is just ducky-

and the vast majority of

LOSERS

in our democracy-

is now SO wide

that the media, Washington,

Dubai, and Wall Street

don't know OR CARE

about the HAVOC they are wreaking

in our fabric of social trust.

Reasonable solutions

take a back seat

to policy changes SO radical

that the head spins

as one realizes how the policy suggestions

of Nixon, Reagan & Bush the elder

are now "too far left"

as we are ratcheted click by click

into a winner-takes-all 

Cloud Cuckoo Land

where booming corporations

pay NO US taxes 

as our infrastructure:

social, physical, and moral

crumble.

Compare our airports, cities,

and medical systems

to those of other developed nations

and we are not number 1,

we are just numb.

All this is macro of course.

Yes, I'm a bit poorer than I was

just before the panic of 2008.

I'm glad the geniuses that caused it

have been amply rewarded.

You see,

I live in my own Cloud(ia)  Land.

Yes, I vote, testify, write, comment, call

and visit the Sate Capitol,

one HAS to.

But at end of day,

when you close your eyes,

it is the furniture of your soul-

not of your bedroom-

that really matters.

We are suffering

Malefactors of Great Wealth & Power,

but 

they are getting SO far ahead of reality,

that many average people(voters!)

are remembering

their TRUE values & interests. . .

And it AIN'T about the 

President's Birth Certificate!

Stay tuned. 

Once, millions of humans changed their mind

and a 'thousand year' Berlin Wall

fell to dancing feet.

Jews & Arabs on the street

are fed up with the way things have been

for too long in the Middle East.

So stay Tuned.  

Stay Tuned for Miracles-

be sure to look for them,

pray for them,

work for them. . . 

and DO stop by 'comments'

          warmly, cloudia

Trump Panders

Repeating a lie

does not make it

truth.

Perhaps Trump doesn't remember his closest college friends,

or the milestones in their lives,

but Governor Neil Abercrombie

 of Hawaii

attended the University of Hawaii with

Barack Obama Senior, and Stanley Ann Dunham,
the President's

parents.

He remembers the birth of Barack Jr.

as do many, many people

 still living here.

The President was NOT born in Kenya.

Repeating that lie,
or acting like it's
an open question at this point,

does not turn it into 

Truth.

Barack H. Obama was born August 4, 1961,

 at Kapi'olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital

 in Honolulu, Hawaii. His mother,

 Stanley Ann Dunham, was born in Wichita, Kansas,

 of mostly English, but also some German, 

descent.

Young Barack and Family (Mother, Grandfather, sister)
Here in Honolulu

His father, Barack Obama, Sr., was from

  Nyanza Province, Kenya. 

Obama is the first President to have been

 born in Hawaii.

Obama's parents met in 1960 in a Russian language class

 at the University of Hawaii at Mānoa, where his father

 was a foreign student on scholarship.

The couple married on February 2, 1961, 

but separated when Obama Sr. went to

 Harvard University on scholarship.

They divorced in 1964.

Obama Sr. remarried

 and returned to Kenya.

(MediaQUICKY) Hawaii’s Governor

 was pissed this week at an old friend

 after the reporter said the governor

 told him “the state could not find

 Obama’s birth certificate”. Mike Evans

 (unknown journalist to many) is now

 changing his story and says he hasn’t talked to

 Hawaii’s Gov. Neil Abercrombie

 since he took office

 plus the Governor NEVER said he couldn’t find the President’s birth certificate.

 Evans says he “misspoke”

 and has since then apologized.
