Hopefully there are things on this blog that will help us to get to the new day coming when all the indignation
has run its course, as Daniel says it will.
There is no more important task in political governance than making sure that civilian control of the military is not compromised and that the military remains subordinate to political authority. Unfortunately, President Obama has demonstrated too much deference to the military, retaining the Bush administration's secretary of defense as his own; appointing too many retired and active-duty general officers to such key civilian positions as national security adviser and intelligence tsar; and making the Pentagon's budget sacrosanct in an age of restraint.
I have worked in a good part of this Land with Union Brothers from all over who taught me well of how things should work in this Land. Basically, that trickle down, only pours up, when it should rain cash down to the people. Then Isaiah 23:17-18 will be fulfilled.
