According to the news I was able to gather this bill never made it out of the Senate and to Governor Deal’s desk. It died on the last day of the session.

Why do I have a bad feeling it will come back again next year?

I am convinced that one of the primary reasons is Ron Paul’s non-interventionist foreign policy stance. Ron Paul’s life long, foreign policy stance has attracted many conservatives and even some Obama supporters who were deceived by the “peace candidate” after his invasion of Libya, one of the world’s most debt free countries. However, a large core group of Republicans still cannot come to grips with the fact that the Bush administration lied repeatedly about Iraq possessing weapons of mass destruction. I began documenting those lies a year in advance of the invasion and by the time it occurred on March 19, 2003, I had accumulated almost 40 different falsehoods that individuals within the Bush administration had propagated.
Many Republicans have heard the facts about the forged Nigerian “yellowcake” documents and the 100 million dollars of revenue gained by Haliburton but they still cling to the belief that our military was used for national defense, not international offense.

They still insist we must be world police for purposes of self defense when the actual purposes are more for war profiteering. It is difficult for this Republican core to even contemplate the alternative thought process held by many other Americans because it would destroy their belief system once they realized how deeply they were deceived. It is hard for anyone to accept that an American Presidential administration would send thousands of American troops to their death and kill 100,000 or more Iraqi defenders, just for profitable ventures. It is even harder to accept the fact that our tax money was used to kill thousands of Iraqi civilians and our own sons and daughters died in the process.

Today, many of the same neoconservatives who lied about the potential threat to America from Iraq are now lying about a potential threat posed by Iran. In contrast, our current Secretary of Defense, the International Atomic Energy Administration (IAEA) that is onsite in Iran, and our last two National Intelligence Estimates, representing all 16 of our intelligence agencies, unanimously agree that Iran is not trying to build a nuclear bomb. Specifically, Iran is not trying to enrich uranium anywhere near the threshold needed to build a nuclear bomb, nor are they developing any type of delivery mechanism that could pose a threat to us. Tons of 90% enriched uranium would be required to build nuclear bombs.

All of Iran’s large quantities of uranium are enriched only to a 3% level. A couple of hundred pounds have also been enriched to 20% for use in a medical reactor that produces isotopes for cancer patients. The enrichment program is publicly known and under the overall nuclear program watch conducted by the IAEA. Nevertheless, American, British and Israeli forces are believed to be operating covertly in Iran and several of Iran’s top nuclear scientists have already been murdered.

If you notice carefully, much of the propaganda about Iran emanates from the New York Times, Israeli intelligence (which has a vested interested in America invading their middle eastern enemies), and some Republican candidates who are funded by wealthy Zionists. Sheldon Adelson’s recent 10 million dollar contribution to a Newt friendly political action committee is only one example of the kind of donations that have been negatively influencing American foreign policy for years. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, is securely in their pocket as well as many members of Congress who receive extensive support through the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee.

These lobbyists have formed an unholy alliance with the big oil interests of the Bush administration and other neoconservatives who are on a quest for profitable American imperialism. The result is a corrupted foreign policy that has advocated invading a number of middle eastern countries during the last decade. This policy has infected, in particular, a dangerously large segment of the Republican party. The time is long overdue for most Republicans to confront the Zionist influence and war profiteering neoconservatives head on and rid themselves of this disease.

Once that is accomplished, Republicans can develop a more honest foreign policy initiative that is aligned with the thinking of most Americans and the principles upon which America was founded. Then they might also finally be able to distinguish the difference between a RINO (Republican in name only) and a real conservative.

Yes there are a lot of Innocent everyday people that get violated by Cobb County Officer, and it never gets mentioned. All the Cobb County Sheriffs care about is their own people and the federal funding by the US Gov.

And they do everything and anything do get those funds, they sell you on cleaning up crime but they are the ones creating the crime. Now what, the wolf is going to cry wolf? please!!!!!!!

Denise, thank you for alerting us to what you have seen firsthand behind the scenes in our state’s higher education system.
