SitRep 2012


When I was on active duty with the Marines, we had a term for a crisp assessment of the current situation.   It was called a Situation Report.

Situation Report 2012:
We are the most blessed nation on earth.   We have the greatest energy reserves of any single nation.   We are the Saudi Arabia of coal ...the Iran of nuclear energy ... the Russia of natural gas ...and we hold enough oil reserves to satisfy our needs forever... if we focus on using it as a chemical and lubricant.

We have
... the greatest untapped industrial capacity.
... the best health care infrastructure and technology.
... the most diverse and capable work force
... the most abundant source of intellectual property
... the greatest untapped capital reserves
... the greatest logistical infrastructure
 but...
...Snafu ... Situation Normal All F'd Up ...by our own government.
  Snafu is from world war II
     Fubar came later
      CF... Vietnam Era Veterans 
        ... hold on a screwed up government has been with us our entire lives....

 
So what are we missing ... vision and resolve.
President Obama wants to manage our decline into a liberal progressive socialist state... graceful decline ... over time... superb degradation ...liberal elites... like France, Ireland or perhaps Greece....

How many of you would buy a pizza if the picture in the advertisement simply stated.. high in carb/fat content... slow lingering death to ensue?

So how about a more compelling vision?
How about painting a picture of what is possible if we change course immediately.

Our mission is to restore America as the greatest nation on earth.

Mission objectives:
 
We will be energy independent by 2020. The solution is to harvest an abundance of coal, natural gas, nuclear and petrochemical resources... immediately.    Our top priority is to develop limitless nuclear energy by 2025.  ... alternative solar/wind technologies can  provide niche solutions.  In world war two a determined and empowered population built the greatest economy on earth.   achieved technical and industrial breakthroughs that powered a new world.   Shoulder to the wheel time...we can do it.   We just need to adjust our priorities.

We will provide our citizens with the highest quality, most affordable health care system in the world.  Rather than imposing "obamacare" with the caveat that you'll love it when you find out everything that is in it.... Let's start over and actually ask the people to participate in crafting their own health care system.   Let's simply make "obamacare" a place holder for a 12 month process of discovery.  Let's work with the American people and  through a series of town hall meetings... let's design a health care system that is not bought and paid for by the health insurance lobby.  Let's start with the notion that health care is the meeting of a patient and a qualified care provider in a setting conducive to rendering effective care.... not an ever increasing government bureaucracy and an ever increasing health insurance premium.

We will end "shadow slavery" for Mexican labor. We will implement a modern, efficient guest worker program.  For those who qualify and do the work...citizenship.    Let's stop the liberal progressive notion of immigration of.. by and for elites.   Let's embrace the greater tradition of American emigration. "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free".   This should apply to our good neighbors first, ... after all what does the Statue of Liberty stand for?

We will end dependency on foreign made goods.   By 2020 80 percent of the goods sold on American shelves will be stamped "Made in America" ... not just the USA but America.   North, central and south America should be the manufacturing center of the world.  People will be emigrating to Mexico for educations and jobs.  Our illegal aliens are not a liability but our most valuable asset in the re-awakening of the American Industrial Revolution.

Finally, restore the Americas as the food basket of the world.   Wipe out hunger ... world wide through the growth and distribution of food.  Our national foreign policy should be a free world.. starting with freedom from hunger.


GPC passing through
