America world police

Do we or don't we? What are the advantages or disadvantages of either. Attacking Syria is not like the times we went into Iraq. No UN resolution so far. No Arab league or nation support. No support from the US populace. Now what we do have is an aggressive Russia sending warships to the region to thumb their noses or actually disturb our five destroyers in the region. Russia has been supplying arms and training and intel to the Assads forever so they have skin in the game when it comes to this regime staying in power.

To steal some comments from Ann Coulter this afternoon she stated that every limited war a democractic president has engaged our military in has ended with a disastrous effect to the region. Clinton in Somalia. Carter in Iran. Now with Obama funding and arming a relatively unknown opposition group that as we saw last month beheaded a Coptic priest to crys of Allah Akbar. So far the Obama led Arab spring is an utter failure. Prime example being the catastrophe we now have in Egypt. Now the president is literally posting our plans in the mainstream media who sees no problem now going into Syria unilaterally.

You left wing tree hugger hippies were crying about no proof of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. There has been no proof of WMD's in Syria, but because your president made a ridiculously stupid red line in the sand he has to fire a few cruise missiles to save face. Russia all along is sitting and watching and waiting to call out Obama for the paper tiger he is and help Syria give the US a black eye. Before we jump on the we can take Russia bandwagon remember who Putin is. Putin was at the highest level of the the KGB this man knows how to play chess. Our president was a community organizer who barely knows how to play checkers.

We feel for the people of Syria who are suffering. Where are the Arabs who are outraged at this situation? Why not Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Kuwait, the UAE take care of it's own and protect Arabs and Muslims? Curious the silence.

Teach your children to be brave

I recently had an experience in my own life that made me realize that not all families teach their children to be brave. I really can't say a number per se, however I have noticed an ever growing number of young people who either have no sense of danger or care for their fellow man or the ones that fear everything. We are raising socio and psychopaths in ever growing numbers by not teaching empathy and respect for the lives of others. On the other side of the spectrum, we are raising the latter's future victims. Children who feel no sense of power or strength within themselves to overcome challenges in our violent world.

How do you raise a child to be brave? The easiest way is by example. As a retired  cop I have the ability to tell what we call "war stories" to my children of the different situatuons in my former career that I felt qualified for brave. My children grew up hearing of dads getting shot at or how he subdued some bad guy and daddy always won and got back home to them. What are the situations today a person who is not in a profession where that type of physical courage is called for can do to earn the title of brave from their children?

Defend them. If they have a bully or a an adult that doesn't seem to have their best interest in mind, confront them with your child present in rational, nonviolent manner. I have had times where my oldest son consistently complained about a teacher singling him out. Of course I gave the educator the benefit of the doubt until it became a daily complaint. I setup a meeting and sternly  confronted both my son and his behavior and the teacher and her actions. The two adjust their relationship and there were no other incidents foe the rest of the year.

Tell them. Tell them how you would defend them physically from the evil in the world. Most Americans have firearms and practice safe firearm defense. Even if you don't want to have Armageddon type drill with your family, tell you age appropriate children what your role will be in defense of the family if a natural disaster or if an intruder enters your home. If the children are of age you could make them part of the plan to defend the home incase you are incapacitated. I have no problems with both sexes of our children learning firearms defense, this notion of the female being the weaker vessal is mute when she is holding your AR-15.

Show them. Show them how to defend themselves. I am just not saying against physical danger. Teach your children how to defend their beliefs and points of view. Teach them not to be afraid of who they are and that to speak out or speak up about those beliefs is courageous. I am proud of the fact that my kids listened to me defend what I believed on the radio and now in writting. At every age there is an opportunity for us as parents to instill this dying character trait into our children. For those parents that do you will find that your children will most likely end up being the future leaders and movers amd shakers in our world. Our world needs the brave more than ever.

The summer that never ends.

Been a long summer. Not just in my life but in the life of our nation. I have a bunch of kids and they all had needs and wants and breaks from camp that kept me away from delivering Ricantotheright this summer consistently. Most likely with my life changes it will be that way for the foreseeable future ie maybe more kids. For now until this school year ends enjoy your more normal amount of ricantotheright, let's dig in.

Murphy's law must have been voted on and amended to our constitution when Barry Sotero took over. I cannot remember a time when so many things went wrong for America for such a long period of time. Over and over in the news this summer it has been scandal after scandal. If it were just partisan politics I would call it but real harm to the American way of life is being perpetrated by this activist administration. Starting from the Zimmerman debacle to Snowden the NSA and IRS and now a poiible war with Syria. American's cannot catch their breaths due to the continued unemployment and now companies are trying to eliminate full time employees to not be penalized but the nightmare that is Barrycare. The presence of Chuck Hagel as Defense Secretary does not inspire much confidence so I do not see a positive outcome in the Middle East for us.

A perfect storm is brewing for our nation. If we just make one more misstep we are going to hurt like never before. There are so many avenues where we could screw up and really cause some generational pain. The problem is few people care either because they are numb to the constant everyday battle or they just don't care. These robots look like human beings but are really not alive. They wake they eat, the deficate. These androids then go to work come home and the process starts all over. Never once getting involved or looking around them at the deeper events that are occuring around them that could use their voice. America needs Americans to start to pay attention and pick up the constitution and read it. I realized yesterday how little I knew when Mark Levin started educating his audience on the show on how the states have the power to overturn and law or regulation that places an economic burden on the states. If 3/5th of the states legislatures vote against the law or regulation it's gone. The judical or executive branch can't do a damn thing to stop it. I had no idea that existed.

I learned that though Obamacare was ruled a tax by the Supreme court so vis a vie constitutional, it is unconstitutional because it was not made public in it's final form for 30 days to the public. I had no idea. What other rights and lawd is this government taking away from us just out of sheer ignorance? I know what you're saying, who has the time. How many Candy Crush levels do play a day? How about glancing at the Bill of Rights and the constitution with it's amendments and substitute 1 level a day? Imagine what a constitutionally educated populace would do? No more being suckered by slick con men like Obama and his crew. No more being told what to think and do by a media with an agenda. No more government agencies practicing acts of tyranny on travel, food, education. That moment in our country would be like Nio being pulled into the Nebuchadnezzar and Morpheus greeting him into the real world. Your eyes will be open. Wake up!
