Deadly Arrogance
October 30, 2009
President Obama's search for the perfect
(intellectual) solution to Afghanistan is derived from his towering
hyper-arrogance. His public flouting of Gen. McChrystal's request for
more troops can be read as the following: I--not the guy with all stars,
medals and ribbons--know what's best.
Unfortunately, O's arrogance is creating an untenable (not to mention
deadly) situation for our troops in the theater. The longer he engages
in haughty intellectualism, the longer our warriors will be without the
lifesaving reinforcements they so desperately need.
And in the end--the war will be lost: Along with many American lives.

Goldstone:
Consider It Moot
October
28, 2009
It's
unequivocal, emanating not only from the teachings of the Quran but also
from the Arab Street, that anti-Semitism is on the rise globally. No
assistance is really necessary in this tide...but, nonetheless, the United
Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) endorsed the paltering Goldstone
Report with another anti-Semitic resolution...and here's an expected
result...
The
lower house of the Bahrain parliament had passed legislation banning any dealings
with Israelis...that means, "whoever holds any communication or
official talks with Israeli officials or travels to Israel will face a
fine...and/or a jail sentence of three to five years..." said Jalal
Fairooz from the Shiite Al-Wefaq bloc.
Guess
it's just more of that 'love' (fools keep trumpeting) springing from
Islamic teachings...you know, tolerance and acceptance from the religion
of 'peace'...kind of gives you that warm and fuzzy feeling
inside...perhaps warm enough to don a burqa...NOT...
The
lies of the Goldstone Report, shockingly chaired by a supposed Zionist (an
obvious poser), have fueled the already hyper-hysteria of hate coming out
of Arab States...and evidenced since the re-birth of the Jewish State in
1948.
There
was no neutrality nor truth in this evil assessment of Israel's defensive
action in Gaza...and it has done nothing but further fueled the venom
spewed from those who loathe the Jewish people.
There's
still hope with Bahrain...the legislation passed the lower house of the
Bahraini parliament, but must still pass the upper house, whose members
are selected by the king. Israel hopes the Bahraini Royal Family will annul
this extreme bill...
FYI...Bahrain,
a pro-Western country with Sunni rulers and a Shiite majority, is
considered an American ally and hosts the US Navy's 5th Fleet. But the
influence that caused the passage of this bill thus far, should be of
concern to the US.
For
the sake of Israel, who is in the vanguard of the War on Terror...and
ultimately, for our sake...the Goldstone Report must be considered
moot.
Shalom
through strength...

Critical
Mass For The GOP In NY
October
28, 2009
As
expected, the 2010 mid-term election is looking grim for Democrats.
Expected because all the American people needed to see was the Dems
feckless policies in action and they'd clamor for the GOP again. But there
are too many in the GOP that cease to get it, and time is running out...
In
a foolish and myopic manner, forces within the GOP are attempting to lasso
the base and drag them from center right, to the left...all with NO
empirical evidence that a single election has ever been won acquiescing to
the left.
But
does that convince this vocal pseudo-GOP minority not to take this
reckless path? Well, if the race in New York’s 23rd congressional
district is any example...it doesn't appear so...
The
NY GOP has put its full weight behind a liberal candidate, in this
Tuesday's special election...one who does
NOT represent republicans in the 23rd district NOR in the State itself.
Dede Scozzafava, is pro-tax, pro-choice, pro-gay marriage AND she's
supported by The Working Families Party and ACORN...(and Newt Gingrich,
what's up with that?).
Somebody's
not getting it...
On
the other hand...we have Doug Hoffman...a conservative republican (running
now as a conservative) who represents true conservative principles. He
advocates smaller government, lower taxes, traditional marriage AND he's
been endorsed by Sarah Palin, Fred Thompson, Dick
Armey, Tim Pawlently, Rick Santorum, Steve Forbes, James Dobson, Michele
Bachmann, Dana Rohrabacher AND the Club for Growth and the Family Research
Council, to name a few.
This
should be a no-brainer for the GOP...but somebody apparently forgot to ask
them to engage their grains.
If
this race is an indication of where the GOP intends to go (left) in 2010,
the party is in grave danger of becoming obsolete. Voters, as we can see
from the Town Hall turn-outs and the Tea Parties nation-wide, do NOT want
the choices of either liberal or liberal-lite. They want clear and
distinct choices...liberal OR conservative...NOT a blend of the two.
There's
an old adage that if my political opponent is committing suicide, there's
no reason for me to kill him. Well, the Dems are committing
suicide...decision by decision...but it appears that the GOP thinks it's
time for a suicide pact...
So,
I believe it's time for some intervention...
The
GOP must abandon this sinking liberal-lite ship and grab a conservative
life-preserver...and take a
cue from Reagan,
who stood on conservative principles and offered a better way to all...he
DIDN'T walk across the isle and abandon his core values to be liked. He
got it. And he won. And we can win too, if we follow his course. If we
believe our principles will bless all Americans, there is NO reason to
compromise.
Reagan
knew that...do we?

LEGAL
BULWARK AGAINST GAYNESS
October
27, 2009
It is due time (concerning gays in the
military) to sweep aside the endless drivel and slick sophistry and
speak the truth: The law should triumph over evil.
The 1993 Eligibility Law (which has survived judicial scrutiny)
specifically states that homosexuality is incompatible with military
service. This, of course--should be the final word on the issue, not
such feckless Clintonian policy as Don't ask, Don't Tell.
This law acts as bulwark against gay activists (and their brainwashed
political lapdogs) who desire to use the military as a social experiment
by forcing a demoralizing, nefarious and medically dangerous behavior on
it.
In the end--it is the law, not policy--that must win out.

IAEA:
Haven't We Had Enough Of These Idiots?
October
26, 2009
OK,
honestly...does anybody of substance (or active gray matter) take the IAEA
seriously?
These
deficient detectives would be better represented by wearing big red noses
and exploding shoes...and for our entertainment...the circus has come to
town, again...
After
the revelation of the secret Iranian nuclear site in Qom this past
September (something that was known to the CIA since 2004), the IAEA
wanted to view the site. And the polite little buggers that they are, they
waited to make an appointment with Iran to see the site...
Imagine
that...
That's
like the police allowing a perp to clean up the crime scene, before they
investigate the crime.
What
the...now either they are the most incredible imbeciles that have ever
trod this terra firma, or they are pushing an agenda of
feckless and false peace by aiding and abetting murderous thugs to
accomplish their dreams of 'peaceful' nuclear energy...as they usher in a
new kind of world. A world where infidels are kept in their place by the
rulers of a global Ummah (collective Arab world).
And
that makes you and me...well, let's just say, not sitting first
class...but no-frills...with the possibility of lots of chills and thrills
(but not up our legs). A kind of luminous phantasm careening toward our
front door.
And
even an idiot knows, this is never good...
Shalom
through strength...

The
Meshugana Messiah
October
23, 2009
Among
the erroneous and fatuous beliefs attributed to Obama prior to his 'coronation',
were such absurdities as O making car and mortgage payments, giving out
free healthcare, eliminating the national debt and--magically becoming a
'peace-time' President--bringing peace between terrorists and the West
(oh, THAT'S what the Nobel was for...guess Ahmadinejad is the next
'winner'...).
And
having 'accomplished' sprinkling that stardust on the minds of his
minions...he's now handling the Middle East conflict with the same
surreal acumen...
Obama
has demanded that Israel commit
to a significant expulsion of Jews from their homes in Judea and Samaria,
PRIOR to a revival of peace talks with the Palestinian Authority (PA).
PRIOR...That
would be prior to the PA ceasing their daily vicious rocket attacks upon the
Israeli civilian population. And prior to the daily attempts of suicide
bombers sneaking past Israeli security to murder innocent Israelis. And
prior to ceasing and desisting the indoctrination of their children with
Jew-hatred. AND prior to doing ANYTHING they have EVER promised, as a result
of former negotiations...including agreeing that the Jewish State has a
right to exist.
Not
very perspicacious, for a Prez...
Now
if O is a savior of sorts...he's either incompetent, ignorant, impotent...or
just plain Meshugana (crazy)...
I'm
going with Meshugana (and I'm being kind). And I think O should go with
it too...it works well with his MO of claiming plausible deniability on
everything that goes awry (which has become quite a menu).
Because
only
a schmuck would claim sanity with such a record of 'accomplishments'.
Shalom

A
WHITE LIBERAL AND MORE DEAD AFRICANS
October
22, 2009
So,
where's the usual torrent of invective from the left? You, know--from
all those Hollywood blowhards like George Clooney who have lobbied
feverishly to end the genocide in Darfur. After all (during his
campaign) President Obama promised that upon taking office he would move
immediately to take tough measures against the Islamic regime in
Khartoum.
Well, what happened? Not only does the carnage continue at the behest of
the regime, but it is carried out with relative impunity.
Finally, just last week Obama stated that he wanted to begin a
substantive dialogue with Khartoum. Wow! Again, where is the outrage
from the left?
Oh, that's right--how could I forget: A white liberal like Clooney would
never dare criticize the first black president (even if it means more
dead Africans).

A
PIMPLE ON THE ASS OF HISTORY
October
21, 2009
President
Obama's dogmatic jihad against Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, the US Chamber
of Commerce, the insurance industry, etc.--is a pathetic and greatly
disingenuous diversion away from the truth: It is (first and foremost)
the American people that passionately object to O's attempt to recreate
America in his Marxist image.
The average Joe is outraged over ObamaCare, cap and trade, the stimulus
package and a host of other Marxist programs that are specifically
designed to bring us closer to the European model. From Tea Parties to
Town Hall meetings--millions of citizens have expressed their disgust
and utter disdain for an administration that seeks to dismantle the
American way of life.
But I fervently believe that Obama is the greatest gift the conservative
(grassroots) movement has received in decades. The more he attempts to
foist his all-suffocating and onerous Marxist agenda on the public--the
more people are inclined to join the movement.
And the end result will be glorious: Obama will serve one term--and be
remembered as nothing more than a pimple on the ass of history.

The Swiss: Their Cheese Is Not The Only Thing With Holes In It
October
19, 2009
When
you hear the name of Switzerland...what comes to mind? Cheese? Chocolate?
Watches? Clandestine bank accounts?
How
about minarets? You know, the tall, slender tower
most often found attached to a mosque, used in the traditional call to
prayer for Muslims (Muslim criers)...5 times a day.
For
your information...there are 90 mosques in Switzerland. Two (in Zurich and
Geneva) have minarets, with three more planned. Muslims comprise 350,000
of a total population of 7.5 million Swiss (the majority come from Turkey
and the Balkans). Christians comprise 77% of the total population.
Now,
minarets didn't appear until 80 years after Mohammed's death. Many believe
it was created to show the infidel world the superiority of Islam over
other religions...precisely what the Quran teaches.
So,
it's no wonder, that even in 'neutral' Switzerland...there has begun a
movement to ban the building of minarets...
A
bi-partisan, anti-minaret campaign, which began in Switzerland more than a
year ago, and has increased in number...have been accused of
corroding free expression with their poster,
which shows a veiled woman in front of a Swiss flag pierced by several
minarets. But they now accuse their critics of doing the same thing by
banning the poster promoting the campaign ahead of a referendum next
month.
According
to CNSNews.com, the chairman of the anti-minaret campaign, Walter Wobmann,
told a major Swiss news organization that it planned legal action against
the cities and towns that have banned the poster, most likely on the basis
of an infringement of free speech.
On
November 29, thanks to the Swiss People's Party's (SVP) collection of
signatures...the Swiss people will be able to vote on a referendum to the
Swiss constitution that will be amended to add the line, “the
construction of minarets is prohibited.”
Democracy
still ROCKS...
But,
apparently the Swiss government...in their downward moral spiral and their
fear of ending up on the bloody end of an Islamic sword...has no problem
squashing the free speech of it's native-born citizens...and acquiescing
to Muslim superiority.
I
guess their cheese is not the only thing with holes in it...I'm thinking
there's one big cavern in between their leaders ears.
Shalom
through strength...

CARTER
ON CRACK/COCAINE?
October
19, 2009
President
Obama's refusal to fight to win in Afghanistan is born out of a
hyper-liberalism that dictates a disquietingly deep-seated belief that
there is a moral equivalence between America and the rogue regimes that
seek to castrate it.
A glaring for instance was Obama's America Sucks Tour--in which
he not only proffered endless apologies and embarrassing bootlicking
exhibitions--but he also declared that there was very little that
separated our nation from Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Russia and Sudan.
Based on this lethally flawed belief, Obama denies that America posses
the moral compass to prosecute a War on Terror--and thus--we must
partner with the aforementioned nations in order to seek-out the root
causes that produce such unbridled anger, strife and discontent for the
West.
Wow! Is there any doubt that Barack Obama is Jimmy Carter on
crack/cocaine?

AN
ISLAMIC MUSHROOM CLOUD
October
16, 2009
As
Iran marches unabated towards nuclear proliferation--the West, as
usual--continues to dither. In fact (only a few short days ago) Secretary
of State Hillary Clinton agreed with Russia that new sanctions against the
Islamic Republic are premature.
Premature?
This feckless (not to mention dangerous) statement further underscores a
foreign policy that can best be described as outrageously sissified. As
Tehran ratchets up the rhetoric (as well as their nuclear weapons
program)--the Obama Administration seems to be suffering from a severe
case of NO BALLS (NB).
And, unfortunately--this case of NB will soon leave us all choking to
death on an Islamic mushroom cloud.

O's
Kisses To Our Enemies, Like Spitting Into The Wind
October
15, 2009
The
idol of O, Saul Alinsky, believed in using any means to a desired end.
That included going back on your word...as Obama did with our allies in
Eastern Europe (missile defense)...in order to garner favor with the
Kremlin...
But
alas...as with the 2016 Olympics debacle...he failed yet again. (Hmm...I
see a pattern here...)
Only
this time, his failure has done much more damage than merely losing the
Olympics to Brazil. He reneged on promises made to our friends...a radar
system in the Czech Republic and a missile interceptor base in Poland...he
took the word of the United States, that allies have always been able to
depend upon...and made it mud. (Well, he kept a campaign promise of
changing how the world views the US...Before O: Faithful. After O:
Deceitful.)
But
wait...he's done much more...he's been busy blowing kisses to our
enemies...like Putin...in hopes that the Bear would show some support
for tightening sanctions against Iran.
Yeah...Удачи!
(Good luck!) Blowing kisses to the Kremlin is like spitting into the
wind...here's why:
-
Russia
possesses a major portion of the world's oil reserves, of which Iran
is a customer.
-
Iran is their
major arms client and the Bushehr plant construction was a $1
billion dollar deal.
-
Tarzan
syndrome: They want to be a world power again...(pound your chest
here).
We
will get NO help from Putin, on Iran or anything else. We are his
nemesis...and all the unctuous rhetoric O's teleprompter can scroll out,
won't change the Bear's growl: It's against the US and Israel. And let
me interpret this for O...that means NO HELP WITH IRAN.
Feel
your own spittle yet, O? We do...
Shalom
through strength...

DESPICABLY
SUPREMACIST TO THE CORE
October
14, 2009
As
I had mentioned in a previous blog--pathological tax cheat Charles
Rangel has been able to remain at his post (as chairman of the powerful
House ways and means committee) simply because he's black. Now comes a
chilling report from the New York Post that Speaker Nancy
Pelosi has received a caveat from the Congressional Black Caucus stating
that (if she dare remove the congressman from his esteemed perch) she
will most certainly lose the African-American vote.
Once again we see a venal and self-absorbed African-American leader
(aided by professional grievance-mongers) able to survive by playing the
ever popular and durable race-card.
This is, unquestionably--racial politics at its absolute worst:
Despicably supremacist to the core.

Nobel Becomes A Booby
October
13, 2009
At
first learning of Obama being awarded the Nobel Peace Price, most people
chuckled, assuming it was a joke. Those attending the announcement
audibly gasped...and with good reason...this formerly prestigious prize
was usually given for accomplishments...something the nine month old
president is, well... without.
So,
how, on God's green earth, did this vacuous dandy achieve the
unachievable?
I
believe there were two reasons for this bizarre occurrence...
First,
those that voted for and presented the award to O (five Norwegian
socialist politicians/academics) are no fans of
America...and after being treated to the 'America Blows Tour' by our
lying luminary, they realized the 'one' has come: An honest-to-goodness self-hating
American.
The
stuff dreams are made of in the Land
of the Midnight Sun...
Now,
second...The
War in Afghanistan is crucial in the War on Terror. Candidate Obama
repeatedly told Americans that Afghanistan would be his main focus and
he would provide our military leaders there with everything they need to succeed. Our military leaders have made it abundantly clear that they need
reinforcements. Obama has been sitting on his hands (while they're over
his mouth). Why? Perhaps it's the pressure of the Prize that has become
the obstacle now. It was given erroneously...for 'intention' rather than
accomplishment. And his intention is 'peace'...so how can he justify
sending more troops into Afghanistan to fight?
He
can't. And as he dithers, American fighting men die.
It
was clear, when Arafat was given this award, that it had lost its
credibility. But this recent recipient has helped demote the once most coveted
Prize to Booby.
Well
what do you know...
he finally accomplished something...

OBAMA
BE DA MAN
October
12, 2009
Those left in a state of mental chaos and
frantic disbelief over President Obama being awarded the Noble Peace
Prize need to take a deep breath in order to understand the following:
It is no surprise whatsoever that the Norwegians are giving this once
highly distinguished prize to a man (think Jimmy Carter) who loves to
hate America.
After all--European intellects are infatuated with self-hating
Americans. And Obama (irrefutably) is the most eloquent and articulate
self-hating American in our nation's history. From the UN to Germany to
Turkey--our rhetorical leader has unashamedly excoriated, ridiculed,
mocked and crapped on our country in front of millions of cheering
foreigners.
So given the Euros love of Americans who hate America: Obama be da
man.

UNfair,
UNending Campaign
October
9, 2009
In
their interminable efforts to demonize the Jewish State, on October 18th,
the UN Human
Rights Council (HRC)--which is made up of some of the world’s
biggest human rights violators, including China, Cuba, Russia, and Saudi
Arabia--will vote to advance
the Goldstone Report concerning the recent Gaza war, and consider its
strong suggestion to indict Israeli political and military leaders.
What
a freakin' surprise...
And
by the way...the
disgraced HRC has approved a minimum of 26 resolutions condemning Israel
since the council's founding in 2006.
So
this is just par for their anti-Semitic course...
The
less-than-balanced Goldstone Committee apparently dismissed the Israeli report
of July 30, 2009, which provided the facts and legal motive for the Gaza
operation (Cast Lead). As I mentioned earlier this week, the Goldstone
Report unjustly portrayed Israel's
defense of its citizens as " war crimes," while disregarding the premeditated
plot of Hamas to operate from within their civilian populace
(using women and children as human shields).
I'm
getting tired of the UN's cadence concerning Israel...why don't they stop
the charade and just goosestep already...
Here's
a first...I will give the State Dept. (who has a pro-Arab propensity)
credit for declaring Goldstone's findings unfair toward
Israel. State Department spokesman, Ian Kelly, said, "While the
report makes overly sweeping conclusions of fact and law with respect to
Israel, its conclusions regarding Hamas' deplorable conduct and its
failure to comply with international humanitarian law during the conflict
are more general and tentative."
But
we need to do much more than the State's comments...this
Jewish-scapegoating has to end...and having been Israel's loyal friend for
years--that relationship must continue to stand...unwaveringly.
And
we can start by pushing back, with all our might...against this UNfair,
UNending campaign.
Shalom

USEFUL
IDIOTS AND OTHER ASSORTED NUTS
October
8, 2009
I
am of the belief that when Barack Obama (during the presidential
campaign) declared that Afghanistan was the "central front" in
the war on terror, and thus a war of "necessity" that must be
won--he was being beyond disingenuous, in fact--he was lying.
Obama's tough campaign rhetoric was designed to assuage his critics who
(at the time) claimed he was an anti-war, doctrinaire liberal. Now that
he has become commander in chief--his dovish predisposition has been
exposed in the form of refusing to send the necessary troops to win the
war in Afghanistan.
Chillingly, Obama's refusal is based on his liberal worldview that lofty
speeches, olive branches and endless apologies are far more potent when
it comes to combating Islamists than bullets and bombs.
This is truly the foreign policy of useful idiots and other assorted
nuts.

More
Of Moore's Mockery: None Dare Call It True
October
7, 2009
I
just came back from viewing the largest enema offered to Americans
yet...and it was prepared and administered by the largest hypocrite on the
left side of the isle...
According
to the Random House Dictionary, a documentary is "A work, such as a
film or television program, presenting political, social, or historical
subject matter in a factual and informative manner and often consisting of
actual news films or interviews accompanied by narration."
THAT
eliminates Michael Moore's latest offering from this category.
This work, as in his other works, is sheer unadulterated propaganda.
Moore
has surely missed his calling. He could have used his talents, as few as
they may be, on telling the truth in his 'documentary', Capitalism: A Love
Story. It was a fable...but not about Capitalism.
He
carefully crafted, not with facts but with an ocean of half-truths--a
disinformation piece that used the name of Capitalism, with the imagery
that would have better been dressed in horns and holding a trident.
Weaving
into his tale, he brought several 'personal' stories that had less to do
with the free market, and more to do with lack of personal responsibility,
and examples of what happens when the government sticks its filthy digits
into the free market (i.e. Community Reinvestment Act, which was never
named, but blamed on the free market in the flick). Add to that a sea of
tears from individuals who were used by the fat filmmaker to lie to his
audience.
Oh,
what a guy that Michelin Man is...
And
he did throw a few Libs under the bus (Dodd, Rubin, Geithner) because of
their involvement with banking institutions...but it was like a drip from
an eyedropper into an ocean of lies. All means to an end: Demonizing
something never discussed in the film...capitalism.
He
even threw a bone to naive Christians with interviews with Marxist priests
who loathe the very system that allows people to freely give to the
ministry that supports them.
Moore
is a self-hating Capitalist. He has made millions upon millions under the
system he claims is evil. But to fool those in his audience with the IQ of
a grape tomato, he dresses his morbidly obese body in blue collar
clothes...and laughs all the way to the bank...yes the very institutions
he excoriates.
Bottom
line: Moore's movie is proof that even a filthy, fat and grotesque troll,
like Michael, can profit in the free market. Too bad it's on the backs of
those who were ill-educated in the de-evolving, NEA controlled, American
school system...which is exactly why they can be fooled by Moore.
God
Bless the free market!

Western
leaders who tenaciously advocate land for peace (as a viable tool to end
the Israeli/Palestinian conflict) are suffering from terminal naïveté.
The Islamic doctrine Waaf, which states once Islamic territory, also
Islamic territory--stands as a belligerent bulwark against any lasting
peace accord.
And as a result of this doctrine--Palestinians believe (wrongly, of
course) that all of Israel belongs to them. That is why the PLO, Hamas
and Fatah charters deny Israel's very right to exist by calling for its
brutal extermination.
Once again, truth explodes the liberal canard that Islam is a religion
of peace and tolerance. In fact, Islam is the very reason we will never
see peace in the Middle East.

To
Plug Or Hug, That Is The Question
October
5, 2009
"If
you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a
hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory
gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor
yourself, you will succumb in every battle." --Sun Tzu, The Art
Of War
Since
his time on the campaign road, Obama has made statements such as, "We’ve
got to get the job done there (Afghan) and that requires us to have enough
troops so that we’re not just air-raiding villages and killing
civilians, which is causing enormous pressure over there."
Besides
the obvious 'moral-booster' of lying about our troops, he made it
abundantly clear that he planned to do what was necessary for us to win
("get the job done") in Afghanistan. Now, General Stanley
McChrystal, leader in Afghanistan, has urgently requested 40,000 more
troops to fight the re-energized Taliban forces. So, surely the Commander-In-Chief
sent them right?
Um...nope...
He
apparently had a different priority list which included taking a family
junket over to "the
City of Spires" to make a pitch for the 2016 Olympics...which he
failed to secure (being eliminated in the first round). But of course when
he arrived back at the White House, he made the order?
Um...nope...
OK,
call me ridiculous, but if someone wanted to be Commander-In-Chief of the
US Armed Forces, besides serving in the ranks (which he didn't)...you'd
think he'd at least prep himself with Sun Tzu's work...but alas alack, he
has not...
How
can I be sure of this?
Simply...he
does not know his own forces, nor the enemy. And as Tzu's war strategy
suggests: "If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you
will succumb in every battle."
Do
our forces know the enemy? Yes. Do they know themselves? Yes. But they are
not being permitted to proceed as THEY know best because the 'Commander'
has not kept his word to make sure they were supplied with what is
required "to get the job done."
The
real problem here is Obama, because of his extreme ignorance on warfare,
doesn't know whether he wants our troops to plug the insurgents...or hug
them. And that makes for a pernicious milieu for our defenders...and ultimately,
for us.
In
warfare...the more we know, the stronger we are...and in conclusion,

Grayson:
American Disgrace
October
2, 2009
"The
hatred and contempt for men, women and children that was manifested in the
Shoah, was a crime against God and against humanity. This should be clear
to everyone, especially to those standing in the tradition of the Holy
Scriptures, according to which every human being is created in the image
and likeness of God (Gen 1:26-27). It is beyond question that any denial
or minimization of this terrible crime is intolerable and altogether
unacceptable." Pope Benedict XVI
Recently,
on the floor of the Congress...a representative from the State of Florida,
Alan Grayson, committed beyond a faux pas and more like an atrocious
offense against Jews globally...
In
his attempt to garner attention to himself, this is what Grayson said in
response to the hyperbole he used against Republicans and healthcare
reform, the day prior:
"I
apologize to the dead and their families that we haven't voted sooner to
end this holocaust in America (referring to the supposed healthcare
crisis)."
In
an attempt to acquire 15 minutes of fame for himself, Rep. Grayson
minimized the most heinous act committed against mankind, by mankind in
our history...and the premeditated extermination of a minority
ethnic/religious group. His abominable rhetoric reveals that Rep. Grayson
is the sad example of what happens in a society when history has been
revised and minimized due to an undetectable stream of disdain.
This
unique black mark left in history by the Shoah should NEVER be used in a
hyperbolic moment to make a political point. Rep. Grayson has shown Jews
and all those who have been personally touched by the Holocaust, that he
is an odious, callous soul who doesn't deserve the time of day...no less
Floridians vote when his term is done.
Rep.
Grayson has indeed made himself known, and to those who would never have
known he existed...but he did so in an infamous way. Rep. Grayson may try
to apologize, but the fact is Grayson is a disgrace to America and
American values...and an apology will never remedy that.

So
This Is A Zionist?
October
1, 2009
For
those who are a bit unclear on exactly what Zion and Zionism is...allow me
(from the jewishvirtuallibrary.org):
Zion,
Zionism - (Mount) Zion is an ancient Hebrew designation for Jerusalem, but already in biblical times it began to symbolize the national homeland...
attachments to Zion gave rise to Zionist longings and movements since
antiquity, culminating in the modern national liberation movement of that
name. The Zionist cause helped the Jews return to Palestine in this
century and found the state of Israel in 1948. The goal of Zionism is the
political and spiritual renewal of the Jewish people in its ancestral
homeland.
OK,
then...on Sept. 15, 2009, the United Nations Human Rights Council's Gaza
Fact Finding Mission published a report that unjustly portrays Israel's
defense of its citizens as war crimes, while disregarding the premeditated
plan of Hamas to operate from within their civilian populace
(using women and children as human shields). This committee, that prepared
this 'glowing' report, was headed by a man who is supposed to be a
Zionist.
What's
that? Yup, you read that right...
According
to his daughter, Judge Richard Goldstone "is a
Zionist and loves Israel." She continued, "I know better than
anyone else that he thought that however hard it was to accept it, he was
doing the best thing for everyone, including Israel."
Really?
Well let's take a cursory look at what her father, the Zionist, reported:
Myth
about Israel:
-Claimed
Israel Defense Forces (IDF) targeted civilians, under the guise of
defensive actions.
Truth
about Israel:
-the
IDF drop thousands of warning leaflets, made
over 200,000 telephone warnings to 'Palestinian'
civilians, aborted
missile strikes to prevent civilian casualties, opened
a field clinic for 'Palestinians'
on the Gaza border, and transferred
tons of humanitarian aid during the conflict.
Myth
about Hamas:
-The
report did not find evidence that Hamas used civilians as human shields.
Truth
about Hamas:
-In
a video, by PalestinianMediaWatch,
Hamas terrorists admit to the use of human shields.
Myth
about Goldstone Report:
-The
report claims to be objective and untainted by bias or politicization.
Truth
about the Goldstone Report:
-One
of the 4 members of the
Goldstone Mission, Professor Christine Chinkin, had already made up her
mind, having signed a letter prior to the cessation of the conflict, plainly
stating that Israel's actions in Gaza amounted to "war crimes"
and that 'Palestinian' rocket attacks were not significant enough for
Israel to respond in self-defense. (Yeah, tell that to the families of the
15 innocents killed by those 'insignificant' attacks.)
And
there's so much more spewed out and aimed at the Jewish State...and the
head of this commission was a Zionist? A man who claims Ahavat
Eretz Yisrael
(Love for the Land of Israel), would not
write or agree to such an erroneous report.
All
I can say is...in the words of the late Casper Ten Boon, a man who died in
the Concentration Camps for hiding Jews from the Nazis: 'Even if a mouse
lives in a cookie jar, it doesn't make him a cookie'.
Mr.
Goldstone, sadly, is a mouse...not a cookie.
Shalom
through strength...
