Why Is Twitter Censoring? The Saudi Connection
There is much being made of Twitter’s new censorship in some countries. Link
What is the motivation behind the censorship? I may have an answer. The answer involves a little horn tooting on my part.
Back on December 19th, I reported on a Saudi prince buying $300 million in Twitter. Link I questioned the consequences of a prince of an oppressive regime owning actual power and influence on a platform used for the Arab Spring.
Could we now be seeing the consequences of that? I’ll leave that decision up to you.
Ron Paul Speaks In Front Of Confederate Flag
Here’s an interesting video of Ron Paul speaking in front of a Confederate flag.
He’s giving some sort of lecture on the Civil War.
This really doesn’t look good considering the racist newsletters, keeping donations from known racist leaders and being against the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

Republicans Need To Re-elect Obama
Republicans love them some Obama. Yes I’m not buying their guise that they despise Obamacare. Bottom line, Republicans want them some Obamacare and the ranting the last three years has just been a hollow temper tantrum about losing in 2008.
Why do I say this?
Because the two leading Republicans are Romney and Gingrich. Romney gave the blue print for Obamacare and Gingrich supported a health mandate.
If Republicans stood 100% opposed to Obamacare, they wouldn’t swarm toward two guys like Gingrich and Romney.
I’m guessing Republicans like other aspects of Obama policy too. So they need to just quit the ranting against him and re-elect him in 2012. I’m sick of all the dramatics and theatre from the GOP.
It’s time the GOP either live up to all the ranting they’re doing, or quit ranting against Obama and just re-elect him.

South Sudan finally became independent of the north. The two countries are now fighting over oil. North Sudan is seeking compensation for debts and also for use of a pipeline that allows South Sudan to transport oil to the Red Sea.
Regional disputes like these are a reminder that our nation must become energy independent. Our economy and overall security is still dependent on far away regional fights over oil.

Pakistan remains vital regardless of any cold shoulder they are giving our nation. Pakistan has nuclear weapons and a significant population of radical Islamists. This is a dangerous mix and must be avoided.

South Carolina Republicans Want Obamacare
You can demean polls all you want, but so far this year, they have been pretty accurate.
Polls in South Carolina have Romney and Gingrich in the lead.
So after three years of the Tea Party, protests and other expressions of disgust towards Obama and Obamacare, South Carolina is heavily leaning toward two people that supported a health mandate in their past.
You can conjecture your way around it all you want, bottom line is that these two supported a healthcare mandate just like Obama.
South Carolina must support Obamacare. Unless the election results differ from the poll results, that’s the conclusion we are forced to believe about Republicans in South Carolina.
I’m starting to think that’s the perspective of the entire Republican party, because Romney continues to lead with Gingrich nipping at his heels.
If that’s how Republicans feel, then so be it. This is a democratic republic. But please, stop all the railing against Obamacare as you go on to vote for someone who supported the same thing.
