Considering United State’s support for Israel at least the withdrawal from the United Nations Human Rights Council is honest.

That Donald J Trump is a thoughtless and cruel bully breaking old friendships, alliances, institutions and myths goes without saying but some of these plates needed breaking, such as an exceptional belief in our moral superiority. A belief which reached its zenith with the successful prosecution of a World War against the maximum terrorist Adolf Hitler.  In war, whether hot or cold, one exaggerates the moral turpitude of the other and with Hitler no nuance was required. Unfortunately the cold war that came after was one of ideas rather than deeds where a claim of goodness was neither clear nor relevant. By Vietnam the swing in our as well as the World's perception of our goodness reached the low remarked by Pogo, “we have met the enemy and he is us.”  Thank our President for making it clear that human rights is just an ancillary issue we are willing to include when it doesn’t conflict with our primary pursuit and exclude when not, such as defending Israel’s recent wanton shooting of Palestinians. Considering United State’s support for Israel at least the withdrawal from the United Nations Human Rights Council is honest.

When @Rodforctgov asks you to volunteer in the ballot petition drive, think of it as a contribution you can make that money can’t buy. @LibertarianCT

I believe that the LPCT is missing the opportunity to engage
new members by not immediately asking them to volunteer for
the ballot petition drive. Many won’t but the few that do are what
will grow the party, so use the hardship of having to get our
candidates on the ballot this year to to build relationships and
develop our narrative. I would suggest we reject the professional
petition gatherers and concentrate on volunteers to make our party
and its candidates viable.

My situation in Fairfield County where I grew up with and was
a commuter is to gather signatures at the railroad station in the early
morning hours.  My first question is to ask if they are registered to
vote in Darien, my hometown but when I start in Greenwich next week
it will be Greenwich. Eliciting a yes puts to you halfway there while
also qualifying the respondent. The rest is so easy that you can relax
and enjoy the experience. Rejection isn’t an insult so just say thank
you and move on to next. If someone expresses interest in the
candidate then pass a card of Rod’s campaign. Frankly, a couple of
hours of this makes my day especially where I meet friends who smile
at my whacked out politics but who sign anyway and think about it.  
And that’s the point. Its one’s active engagement which makes others
think that there is something worthwhile going on. It’s intriguing.

So when Rod asks as your point person to volunteer in the ballot
petition drive, think of it as a contribution you can make that money
can’t buy.  

Trump is managing to do the unthinkable, turn our allies away from us to China

My recent tweets are unAmerican as they go against Trump's interests. So be it but the G-7 meeting today in Quebec, Canada makes crystal clear the natural ally for the G-6 is not the United States which battling it on all diplomatic and economic fronts, but China. And instead of sitting helplessly by President Macron of France should stop playing the nice guy and convince China to drop Boeing and take up Airbus exclusively for the following reasons. First, Trump's arbitrary decision against the Iran Nuclear Deal exposed Airbus to sales limiting sanctions because of unauthorized technology transfers. Doubtful China would want to be hampered by the same so the pitch would be for Europe and China to develop workarounds to these exclusive to U.S. tech solutions.  Second, its economic hardball that will take the bloom off the likes of Boeing, United Technologies and GE, all Dow Jones Stocks, and Honeywell and other aerospace tech manufactures, starting a recession in the U.S. to show the American public our Smoot Hawley loving moronic leadership of King Donald.
