Gay Marriage 2

Telegraph: Reports the following from the US Supreme Court, " Hopes among gay rights activists that the US Supreme Court would make a sweeping ruling in favour of gay marriage receded sharply after the court's nine justices appeared to shy away from taking a firm line on the issue. ".

Lets Get Real:

The Supremes it seems have no backbone on this subject, its a matter of deep civil rights, in the 1960s African - Americans had to fight to get their Civil Rights and the US Politicians, Democrats and Republicans saw it as the right move to support such efforts, yes it cost the Democrats the South but it was the right thing to do, a narrow view of civil rights is not what the US should be about, its about freedom to be, and the State, local or federal has no right to decide what marriage means, as in the negative, that does not mean that Churches or other religious establishments have to carry out marriage services, that would be wrong, that would be the State saying that a Church etc has to see marriage the way the State sees the ACT, people should be allowed to marry, outside a Church.   Sad day for the US Supreme Court should it duck this issue.  

Brotherly Love NOT - The Miliband Brothers

Guardian: Reports on the shock news that David Milliband, the older brother of Ed Miliband and former UK Foreign Secretary is to resign as a MP and move to New York. 

Lets Get Real: 

Thus why prize victory for Ed Miliband, he stabbed his elder brother in the back to become Labour Leader, according to reports it has been a disaster for the Miliband family, lets face when you ask the general public about Ed Miliband the first thing they mention is that he stole the job his brother had wanted all his life.    The Labour Party is ahead in the polls at the present, it should be pointed out that when Ed Miliband is on the screens for a while the polls go down for Labour, the BBC and Guardian do not seem to cover EM much, less press the better it can be argued, one can say from memory that Tony Blair pre 1997 had much more better press that EM junior.   The Labour Party is ahead in the polls at the moment because of the austerity drive of the Coalition Government, but as we get closer to the 2015 General Election the Labour Party will have to produce policies; the UK is broke folks; thus it can not promise to spend money that is not there, then we shall see what Ed Miliband is made of, can he sell Labour in the heat of a General Election, interesting folks. 

Gay Marriage and the US Supreme Court

BBC News: Reports that the US Supreme Court heard arguments today on the legality and banning of gay marriage. 

Lets Get Real: 

This blog has come around to the idea that gay marriage is a Civil Rights question, thus lets hope the Supremes allow gay marriage, and over turn laws that ban same sex marriage.   It not easy folks, a lot of people would object to the idea that gay marriage is a Civil Rights issue, they argue that Civil Rights is about seeking justice for those that face restrictions based on gender or colour, one should not dismiss this view point, that is what liberals do all the time, what is needed is a counter argument that argues that we are in the 21st Century, Rights are about allowing people to be what they want to be, in way a Classical Liberal theory, or Conservative, as long as people are over the age of consent; 21 would be good age for gay or straight people; and people are not being forced to do anything they do not want to do then its should be open to the individual to do what he or she likes, the US Supemres should lead, its the right thing legally, and the Conservative thing to do, watch this space folks. 

Death in Afghanistan

MOD: Reports that a UK Soldier has been killed in Afghanistan, the Soldier was from the " 1st Battalion The Mercian Regiment  ".  Thus since 2001 the UK has lost 441 of its Armed Forces Personnel in Afghanistan, of that total it has lost 398 in combat/hostile action, while 43 have died due to illness, accidents or other incidents. 

Lets Get Real:

One has to ask why folks, the UK, US and NATO is getting out of Afghanistan next year, why are we still losing our brave and heroic Soldiers, the general opinion is that after 2014  Afghanistan will fall back in to Civil War, the Taliban might even retake Kabul, how does the UK Government justify to those heartbroken families why their husbands,wives, sons, daughters are getting killed in a War that is lost and that the West has no interest in winning, and what is worse can not win.   Our BRAVE Soldiers are being lead by donkeys folks. 

The EU wants to STEAL your MONEY - Cyprus Crisis 3

Telegraph: Reports the following on the Cyprus Crisis, " Head of the Eurogroup of eurozone finance ministers Jeroen Dijsselbloem has spooked global markets by saying the Cyprus bank restructuring deal should be considered a template for the rest of the single currency bloc. ".

Lets Get Real:

There you have it folks, the dirty secret is out, the next Country to ask for a bailout will have to steal from its savers, think about this folks, will the EU dare ask Greece, or Italy or Spain to raid and steal the money of its savers.   What if France needed a bailout, will the left wing President Hollande steal the money of French savers to protect the Euro, will Greece revolt should they need extra funds and are told to steal from their own people.   How can the EU grow in economic terms if it is attacking the rich, why build a business if the tax man is going to steal what you and your workers have produced, the EU has failed to learn the lesson of the USSR.  This policy of theft will end baldy folks, it always does, the EU is so up the backside of the Euro it can not see straight any more, the politicians of the EU have lost the backbone to say NO, it will happen folks, and the results will be short term disaster, but then the EU can grown, the Euro is killing the EU, the Euro needs to be buried and fast, otherwise it will take the EU with it, what price the Euro folks. 

Russia and Cyprus 2 - Cyprus Crisis 2

Guardian: Reports the following on the Cyprus Crisis, " Draconian terms aimed at keeping Cyprus in eurozone include closure of second-largest bank and big losses for wealthy savers......Russian officials have repeatedly compared the Cypriot bank levy to Soviet-era expropriation. ".

Lets Get Real:

What if Greece, Spain come cap in hand again to the EU, will Germany again state that savers with large savings have to give up a majority of it, can the Western Banking system cope with the idea that the State, that has not gone through a Revolution phase is stealing the money of savers.   At least in 1917 with the fall of Tsarist Russia the State that would become the USSR has a Communist Agenda, you knew what you were getting, Germany is demanding that a democracy steal from its savers, with no proof of wrong doing, its just wrong folks, no one seems to get that fact, just because its Russian money it should not be seen as safe money to steal.    The Euro has become an end it itself for the EU, it mus be protected at all costs, even if it destroys the economic structure of the EU, one day someone will be brave to say NO, lets hope it is soon folks, democracy can not last when theft is so open and with no blow back. 

Russian and Cyprus - Cyprus Crisis

BBC News: Reports that Russia thinks that EU is using the Cyprus banking crisis as way to raid Russian money. 

Lets Get Real:

Thus Russian Bear would be right folks, the German Government wants to show its voters that it is using Russian money to bailout Cyprus, not German money, the German taxpayer is sick to death of bailing out bankrupt Countries, War guilt only goes so far folks.   The the old USSR would have sent in the Soviet Fleet if this had happened in its time, it shows how Russian is no longer a Super Power, if this was US money the EU would not dare, but Putin's Russia is an easy target, the Russian money is Cyprus is seen as dirty money, either from tax avoidance or illegal acts.   This is act of stealing from the EU could lead to the destruction of the Euro, who is going to trust banks in the PIGS Countries, if you have over a hundred thousand in these banks it would be wise to transfer them to outside EU banks, or to turn the money in to gold or other assets. They day you have to steal money to keep a currency going it OVER folks, the watchman shall come to pick up the Euro, its only a matter of when, the die has been cast folks, who shall weep for the Euro.
