Bio

CrainYTBackground

Writing from behind the Orange Curtain in Southern California. I'm a single dad caring for my Autistic son and a very comfortable cat. Have been marketing, evangelizing and bringing to market high tech products for 20 years. Have held various roles in marketing and advertising for over 36 years including running my own boutique agency for five years.

Working on a novel (The Curious Globe of Cornelius Crain). Working on compiling my political rants and ramblings into another book (A Barking Dog of the Radical Right). I keep an American flag flying near my front walk...as do many of my neighbors. Haven't had time to work on my golf game or my perimeter shooting as much as I'd like to. There is so much I have to do in life and the clock is ticking.

For all my unfinished projects, I blame Ricochet and all the contributors and members here whose postings and comments distract me to no end.

Brian Watt:"When women participate in peacemaking and peacekeeping, we are safer and more secure, and when women participate in politics, the effects ripple throughout society." — Hillary Clinton

Yes, thanks Hillary. Perhaps J. Christopher Stevens, Glen Doherty, Tyrone S. Woods, and Sean Smith would have been safer and more secure and might even be alive today if they were just the right gender. 

I'm as outraged and ashamed as you are on this topic, but I continue to place the blame on the Commander- in- Chief. · 8 minutes ago

Repeated warnings from Stevens and others were ignored by Hillary and her team leading up to the attack. Believe me, Obama thus far has gotten away with it as well. But Hillary is equally to blame.

This vile woman's negligence was responsible for the deaths of four Americans and she will be lauded and giving a pass up to Election Day by the media and her impeached-disgraced-sexual predator-of-a-husband will defend her to the hilt. 

Meanwhile, this voice was heard:

"I want to protect and preserve the America that I grew up in. The America that people crossed oceans and risked their lives to become a part of, and I’m terrified it is slipping away.” — Becky Gerritson, Wetumpka Tea Party president.

Now that is a woman!! I'd vote for her.

Wait a minute...wait a minute...I've tapped into a phone call...it's a conversation between two Americans...they want to send a cache of arms to some al-Qaeda terrorists...We've traced one of the phone numbers to a large white residence on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington D.C. and the other from a phone in the Russell Senate Office Building. Who are these traitors? Never fear, Homeland Security and the FBI will get them.

Brian Watt

The point is that American weapons and material support WILL get into the hands of al-Qaeda. Since when is that okay?

Brian Watt

EstoniaKat: First, the opposition is not all Al-Qaeda. It is partially, but not totally.

I suggest if you haven't, listen to the excellent interview with Michael Totten done last week. I've known Michael for about 10 years, and he's the real deal on the Middle East. His view is that there will be a bloodletting of the opposition after Bashar falls, and that the non-AQ elements are stronger:

Yes, and the Muslim Brotherhood would never rule Egypt.

Brian Watt: "...Immigrants are more fertile..." -?!

Did he really say that? · 4 hours ago

What's the problem if he did?  It's true. · 2 hours ago

Perhaps if we breed them eventually we'll get a healthy strain of Republican voters?

And then there's this...warning a few CoC violations.

From Network World:

The next night, CNN's Carol Costello asked Clemente, "You said that if Katherine Russell does not divulge the contents of this phone call that the FBI had other methods of finding out what was said. What did you mean by that?

Clemente: Well, on the national security side of the house, in the federal government, you know, we have assets. There are lots of assets at our disposal throughout the intelligence community and also not just domestically but overseas. Those assets allow us to gain information intelligence on things that we can't use ordinarily in a criminal investigation, but are used for major terrorism investigations or counter intelligence investigations.

Costello: You're not talking about voicemail, right? What are you talking about exactly?

Clemente: I'm talking about all digital communications are -- there's a way to look at digital communications in the past. I can't go into detail of how that's done or what's done. But I can tell you that no digital communication is secure. So these communications will be found out. The conversation will be known.

"...Immigrants are more fertile..." -?!

Did he really say that?

To John Yoo - Is there a better Republican foreign policy? 

Where is it?

Brian Watt

In light of handing Egypt to the Muslim Brotherhood, arming terrorist factions in Libya to the point where al-Qaeda flags fly over some new Libyan government buildings, and supplying al-Qaeda and al-Qaeda terrorist elements in Syria with weapons and material support — perhaps its time to consider a more reluctant Randian approach than constant international intervention. 

Our perpetual interventionist policy has resulted in providing aid and comfort to those who hate America, the "Great Satan" and wish to destroy us; as well as creating an Alice in Wonderland situation where innocent Americans are under constant surveillance on the pretext of preventing terrorist attacks when at the same time Obama, McCain and others want to arm al-Qaeda terrorists in Syria. 

Intervene wisely and infrequently. Unfortunately, we've allowed our foreign policy to be run by idiots.

Brian Watt

So, Congressman Mike Rogers complains this morning that the revelations in the NSA story are already changing terrorists' behavior so they're more secretive and getting off the grid. At the same time, President Obama and Senator John McCain wants to provide al-Qaeda terrorists in Syria with weapons and material support. 

What's wrong with this picture?

Brian Watt

I just watched John McCain on Fox this morning blathering on and on about how we must arm these "freedom fighters" because Russia and China are arming Assad. "We must do this. We must do that".

No end game. No idea what sort of radical Islamic regime would replace Assad. Clueless.

I really don't mind if some of my taxes are used to provide humanitarian aid to refugees who have already fled into Turkey but sometimes you just have to say "No...Senator, that will be quite enough. With all due respect, please shut yer yap."

A trial buffoon.
