Thoughts on the Presidency

By John E. Wade II / December 11, 2013 / Comments Off on Thoughts on the Presidency

It appears to me that more and more people are now recognizing that President Obama is incompetent.  The major parts, though not all, of his lack of fitness for the Presidency are his liberal ideology and absence of any credible understanding of the American economy—its engine, private enterprise, business and entrepreneurial spirit.  He distrusts businesses…

The Bloated Federal Government

By John E. Wade II / November 23, 2013 / Comments Off on The Bloated Federal Government

We have a bloated Federal Government.  Believe me and a host of others.  I spent twenty years as a federal employee and I believe a reduction in Force (RIF) could be done in a kind way like good citizen corporations operate when they need to terminate people. It should work like this – hire independent…

ObamaCare, Incompetence, and Us

By John E. Wade II / October 27, 2013 / Comments Off on ObamaCare, Incompetence, and Us

I just read another fine article written by one of my favorite writers, Peggy Noonan (The Wall Street Journal, October 26, 2013).  Noonan explains in graphic detail how the administration had three and a half years to implement ObamaCare, and yet it is a “political disaster” with no end in sight.     I must say, “I…

Our President, A Superb Political Hack

By John E. Wade II / October 16, 2013 / Comments Off on Our President, A Superb Political Hack

President Reagan was a superb communicator and politician, but he was also a very effective president in terms of governing–especially in regards to our economy and the world stage.    Our current president should not–in many ways–surprise us in terms of what he does.  It is very important to distinguish between what our president says and what…

The Washington Guerilla in Our Economy

By John E. Wade II / October 15, 2013 / Comments Off on The Washington Guerilla in Our Economy

We have a bloated federal government.  Believe me and a host of others.  I spent twenty years as a federal employee and I believe a reduction in force (RIF) could be done in a kind way–like good citizen corporations accomplish when they must terminate employees.     It should work like this: 1.  Hire independent human relations…

Positive Values: Justice

By John E. Wade II / September 23, 2013 / Comments Off on Positive Values: Justice

I have come to believe that restorative justice rather than retributive justice is the proper path toward a Heaven on Earth.  We just cannot give up on anyone.  I don’t believe God turns away from anybody.  We must strive to empty the prisons while at the same time restoring all there to be productive, law-abiding and…

Continued Thoughts on Syria

By John E. Wade II / September 13, 2013 / Comments Off on Continued Thoughts on Syria

It is my continued judgment that military action in Syria is not advisable.  Perhaps we should continue to arouse worldwide reproach toward the despicable dictator of Syria.  And all his supporters should be utterly ashamed of themselves. Military actions should become less and less prevalent in the 21st century.  Civilizations have simply outgrown that barbaric behavior. …

A Message about the Syrian Crisis

By John E. Wade II / September 11, 2013 / Comments Off on A Message about the Syrian Crisis

The White House has said that the use of military force is still a possibility.  On my website,  I now have a letter to President Obama and Congress concerning my alarm at the Syrian crisis.   We, the American people, must draw our red line in the sand and not let President Obama and Congress drag us into…

A Definite Lack of Trust of President Obama

By John E. Wade II / September 10, 2013 / Comments Off on A Definite Lack of Trust of President Obama

It is no secret that I have not been pleased with our current president. However, I no longer have any trust in President Obama.     He ran for the presidency twice proclaiming that he would end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.  Now–at a time when he should be pulling our military further out of dangerous…

Why Not Help Rather Than Kill?

By John E. Wade II / September 9, 2013 / Comments Off on Why Not Help Rather Than Kill?

Why don’t we think outside the military box in Syria?  Why don’t we help Syrian refugees in every way possible–our government and others, private entities like Doctors Without Borders, a world-wide positive nonviolent effort.  This would be a much more humane endeavor than a risky unilateral military strike by the United States.  It would be…
