Gum Balls & Jews

- DOING IT WRONG -

Just like that ball mixture, Israeli - Palestinian issues can never be united together.  Both sides will eventually choke, but why? 

I have three questions. The answers will startle every American,  it is time to learn that we are wrong thinkers! 

Why did a civilization that produced more books in Muslim Spain in the ninth century than existed in the entirety of of the rest of Europe subside into a civilized torpor, a state of dormancy or inactivity?  Why, in Freedom House's annual listing of countries that are "free", there is not a single Arab country listed?  Why in 2006 alone, were there more foreign books translated in one European country, Spain, than were translated in the entire foregoing millennium in the entire Muslim world?

The entire civilization in the Islamic world and Southeast Asia threw out the intellectual window the principles of rational inquiry that the Greeks introduced to the West half a millennium before Christ.  The collective Muslim ulema, theological leaders, decided it would be too "Dangerous" to allow free inquiry, not just of the Koran itself but of the daily reality of living life before our eyes.  

Muslim traditionalists asserted that the "eternal" Koran associated the idea that nothing in creation could be philosophically or scientifically examined without challenging Allah himself.   Further, they completely denied that good and evil could be discerned by human reason.  Instead, they argued, Allah's nature was, quite simply, his will.  Will precedes knowledge itself, which is the exact opposite of Christian thought, as it developed in the West.  Christian thought proceeded from the assumption that God himself was reason, and that since all creation had come into being through Christ, the Logos, reason could and should be applied to the examination of all creation.  

Muslim theologists insist there was no such thing as cause and effect, everything is entirely subject  to God, incapable of acting by itself;  it is an instrument in the hand of the Creator.  To question this was to commit blasphemy by implying there were limits to Allah's power and authority.

The tragic consequence of this mode of thinking completely collapsed within Islam the spirit of scientific inquiry.  No major invention or discovery for over seven centuries has emerged from the Muslim world. This has heavily contributed to the present marginalization of Muslims and their growing sense of injustice and victimhood.  The Muslims are their own enemy. 

What is the use of reason in the face of an Iranian education ministry official who claimed that the Tom and Jerry cartoons were concocted in the United States to improve the image of mice because, during the 1930s in Europe, Jews were called "dirty mice"?

NO matter how much the Israelis and Palestinans agree upon to have peace, it will never come because the dispirited Muslims will never have inner peace through their  own religious beliefs and value system.

Neuter Newt!

David Gregory - NBC

Newt Gingrich is incredibly and indisputably smart. He’s been in the Washington beltway for decades now, probably too long. To believe that he fell prey to the “combative” questioning of David Gregory, truly an obvious liberal lightweight interviewer, and that the former Speaker was even caught in a bit of a word trap with the NBC anchor is  very unbelievable. 

I personally think he is politically smart to talk his way out of anything without dropping verbal RINO stink-bombs like “radical,“ ”right-wing“ and ”social engineering” in such close proximity to Ryan's plan embraced by so many conservatives.

Gingrich - Ryan

I’m also convinced that such a smart politico would deliver such a simple message like "we need to get Americans’ support before we do something" with such clumsy messaging is because Newt fears a potential Paul Ryan run for president and was seeking to distance himself.  We‘re in a much different world politically than we were in 1994 and Newt needs a drastic plan to turn today’s tide back in his favor.  More plausible is that Gingrich knows he’s not going to win over the GOP primary voters as “the establishment candidate.”

With many older dedicated GOP voters likely uncomfortable with the idea of changes to Medicare, the Gingrich camp used very deliberate language (“social engineering”) to try and drive a political wedge in the GOP base. 

With today‘s momentum flowing in the tea party’s support, it’s unlikely other candidates would step out to try to grab this bloc of voters, leaving them largely up for grabs. While tea party favorites divvied up the fiscal hawk voters, Gingrich may try and get a large group without risking more moderate stakes in a potential general election contest.

Hopefully, voters will see Newt Gingrich for what he was and now is, an older career politician who needs to take a back seat to younger, more conservative and aggressive candidates.

Neuter Newt - It's Time for Conservative Values!

The Coming of The Caliphate

Cairo - St Virgin Mary's Coptic Orthodox Church - Hanging Church

Personal Background

Starting in June, 1972  I traveled for three and a half months throughout Europe, the Balkans, Greece, and on to Israel and Egypt.   Ironically, I had visited Munich, Germany in late June while the Summer XX Olympiad Grounds were being readied for the upcoming events and ceremonies starting August 26.  

 

On September 5, a terrorist group, Black September, massacred eleven Israeli athletes in the Munich Olympics Park.  I was in Greece at the time and shortly afterward I flew from Athens, Greece into Cairo, Egypt arriving  on an Air France flight at mid-night and was met in the dark by an Army half-track armored vehicle with soldiers with under-eye black with machine guns pointed at me as I debarked my plane and entered into the Cairo airport terminal with more machine gun sand bag nests positioned and pointed at arriving passengers.  It was intense.

While in Cairo, I visited  the Coptic Church of St. Barbara where Joseph, Mary and Baby Jesus had stayed during their travels.  I also heard stories about how the Coptic Christians were shunned and treated as second class citizens in their society too.  At that time, as a casual observer, I was not honestly aware of the Islamic society  due to the fact that any public unrest and Muslim militancy had not even remotely affected the United States or any of its citizens.  After all, 9/11/2001 was still twenty-nine years away from happening on United States shores.

A week later, I went to Israel and began to see and compare differences beyond the cultural beliefs and really felt it between the religions for their regional aspirations for territorial power and control.  Ordained by ancient Holy scriptures, the Jews, Christians and Muslims all laid claims to the Holy Lands.  Again,  I did not understand then what the full significance meant of these demands by either an expected entitlement or as by the virtue of Godly preordained rights laid upon a religious group.

 

I remember getting on a bus going from Jerusalem to Haifa with three teen girls, about sixteen years old, who were garbed out in drab green combat uniforms with Uzi machine guns strapped over their shoulders matter-of-factly as if they were just school backpacks full of books and boarded the bus to take seats in front of me.  Strangely,  I felt more safe, except for the obvious I did not know why.  Reality time check here?  So in 1972, I could see very difficult problems looming ahead even as a naive observer at the time.  

The Caliphate

In the past the greatest Muslim confederations were led by a caliph, a leader of all Muslims. The word "caliph" is the English form of the Arabic term kalifa, which means successor. The ruling institution of the caliphs is called the caliphate.

The modern movement for restoring the caliphate over Islam is presently growing quietly throughout the Middle East. If it should succeed it could possibly decentralize control over Muslims from Morocco to Indonesia—at least 1.5 billion Islamic followers. That would change dramatically the scope of Islamic power and influence in the world today.

The Caliphate is a rallying point between the radicals and the more moderate Islamists. The idea of a government based on the Caliphate has a historical pedigree and Islamic legitimacy that Western systems of government by their very nature do not have.

The Plan

Islam means ‘peace’, but a peace only on its terms, through full submission to Allah’s law. Hence, despite politically correct adulations of Islam by Washington and also Europe, there can be no co-existence between Islam and Western Civilization.  Many citizens are fast becoming aware it is not a "kumbaya moment" and is not going to work.

 
A Reaganite inspired and neo-conservative influenced American policy seems to be moving more openly by attaching the vague label of “evil ideology” to the Caliphate. However, as with Communism, Western policy needs to be bolder in correctly defining Islam as the main threat. By adopting our current slow, deliberate, politically correct Policies of Appeasement that the United States Government has adopted, it will fail as our country loses its sovereignty.

A continuing state of public denial in regards to a conflict with Islam in Washington as well as Europe only breeds more confusion, frustration and contradiction among academic and policy circles aware of the incompatibility between the two doctrines.  

Neville Chamberlain, the former Prime Minister of Great Britain, in 1938, sold out his country's sovereignty by capitulating with Adolph Hitler to negotiate his Policy of Appeasement of surrendering Czechloslavakia to Germany. Chamberlain's hollow promise said, "Go home to your beds, it's peace for our time"  as  Hitler continued onward with his conquest of the world.  History calls us again.

It is time to say to wishy-washy gratuitous spineless politicians... The USA is solely based upon Judeo-Christian Beliefs! (We still have religious tolerance and no persecution of others, not like in the Arab countries for Christians or Jews.)

The United States was founded on Judeo-Christian principles or the Christian world view.  This was not by happenstance, this was by design because our Founding Fathers knew that this was the only way in which the people could be assured the freedom, liberty, and justice they sought.  The Judeo-Christian world view sees man as an individual creation of God, special in his own right, worthy and valued in his individuality, with rights as an individual.  This was the basis of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. Under the Judeo-Christian world view, our nation has prospered and flourished as no other nation had before or has since.

Who is the Man in the Mirror?

I am NO "Birther"...

Obama was Born in the USA!

Read:  Article 2, Section 1, of the Constitution?

 What does 'natural born citizen' legally mean?

Dad's dual-citizenship does not meet constitutional requirements.

Who is the man in the mirror? - Michael Jackson Song

"I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer"

It is a fact that since Obama's father was a citizen of Kenya and thus a British subject in 1961, his son's birth in Hawaii that year would have granted Obama dual British-U.S. citizenship. Obama's campaign website admitted as much prior to the election. 

Attorney Mario Apuzzo, one of several lawyers filing lawsuits over Obama's eligibility to serve as president, believes the double claim on Obama's citizenship disqualifies him from fulfilling the requirement of Article 2, Section 1, of the Constitution, which states no person except a "natural born" citizen shall be eligible to the office of president. 

"A 'Natural born citizen' status requires not only birth on U.S. soil but also birth to parents who are both U.S. citizens," Apuzzo asserts on his website. "It is only by combining at birth in the child both means to inherit these two sources of citizenship that the child by nature and therefore also by law is born with only one allegiance and loyalty." 

According to Apuzzo, regardless of where Obama was born, regardless of  the release of his long-form birth certificate, his father's citizenship status disqualifies him from being president.

Huckabee the Clown

  "Huckabee the Clown"

Grrreat Ideas Mike! -  You Are No Reagan!

When former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee ran for President in 2008, he did so under the guise of a  R.I.N.O. Conservative. Anyone who listened closely to his speeches heard a message that was far from compatible with the ideals of limited government and expanded liberty: two benchmarks of conservatism by any measure.

Huckabee openly supports a nationwide, Federally Mandated Smoking Ban, and expanding the powers of the federal government to mandate limits on carbon emissions via Cap and Trade.

With a “general revenue shortfall in the Arkansas state budget,” a desperate Govenor Huckabee stood before the state legislature and told them he’d found a way to meet Arkansas’ near $100 million shortfall:

"Again let me state what I’ve said privately, as well as publicly.  I want to get it on the record again.  There’s a lot of support for a tax at the wholesale level for tobacco and that’s fine with me.  I will very happily sign that because it’s a revenue stream that will meet the needs if enacted as a level that will help us to meet that 90 to $100 million target and that’s what I would begin to focus your attention on is the target.  Now, some of you have suggested the retail level of tobacco.  If that ends up being your preference, I will accept that.  Others have suggested a surcharge on the income tax.  That’s acceptable.  I’m fine with that.  Others have suggested, perhaps, a sales tax.  That’s fine.  Yet, others have suggested a hybrid that would collect some monies from any one or combination of those various ideas and if that’s the plan that the House and Senate agree on, then...you will have nothing but my profound thanks."

  

Hey Mike...  How 'bout cutting Gov't spending instead?

United Nations Coalition Forces

United Nations Confusion Forces

A.L.L.A.H.

United States Air Force - 1934 Bi-Plane

The United States Obama-led confusion of the military Coalition jets continue to patrol the UN-sanctioned no-fly zone over Libya.  Since the biggest financial U.N. supporter with the best standing armed forces  is leading the battles, then why has the United States  become the "in-house" air force of the so-called "Libya Freedom Fighters" under the direction of these fighters who really are mix of Jihadis,  Al queda, Taliban, Hamas or The Brotherhood, etc. 

The Arab League offers a tepid support at best now that the United States, France and British aircraft  having blown up Gaddafi's fighter aircraft. The double problem is that Arab governments now in power and in the Arab League, many of them are being challenged and are being thrown out by their own people in these troubled regions.

Then, who decides which of the Arab Autocratic-Totalitarian countries is next to defend?  Do American Taxpayers  continue to pay for all of the armament , bombs, arms  and personnel with none of the Arab countries paying any war reparations to the United States for their defense costs?

Since it is now run by the UN and NATO, the International Community, I think that the United States Air Force should change its name to the American Little League of Air Heads or A.L.L.A.H.

Hide & Seek World Champion

This image is absolutely timely right now because the country of Israel has no where to hide and is being sought and set up right now to be attacked by the United States....Say what?

All of the pundits, commentators and political wags are asking one question to Obama, "What is the end game?" They all answer, "Obama went in and put together a "coalition force", went to war and doesn't have an "end game" first!" I say, "Oh yeah?"  Just read on...

Has anyone figured out why the U.S. Forces are in Libya right now anyway? We are only doing "Air No Fly Zones" from the skies above according to Obama.  Then, Obama turns over the operations to NATO command. But, why are we?  In reality, we have on the ground covert U.S. Military  "laser spotters" who utilize sophisticated electronic positioning technology to precisely target Gaddafi's military assets verses civilian properties to avoid unintentional hits and piss off any of the Arab populations. But why all of the extra fuss about collateral civilian casualties? Also, Obama could care less about Qaddafi or the peoples of Libya either.  Read on...

Muammar Muhammad al-Gaddafi

And, this attack on Libya ordered under a strange UN Directive that gives its reason to enter another sovereign country when a mass genocide or other atrocities must be stopped with no other legitimate reason such as an aggression that was initiated by that country against  the attackers initially. After all, we did nothing about Rwanda in 1994 where 400,000 were killed and Darfur, Sudan starting in 2003, where 800,000 people were killed? If that sounds a little strange, it is for sure because in the past, the U.S. was provoked against or attacked, which was not the case here. But, under this new U.N. Umbrella directive a country can be attacked under the suspicion of "crimes against humanity". Something is wrong here. Who authored this goofy Directive anyway?

The story now comes to light that Cass Sunstein, Obama's newly appointed Director of Information, who is currently behind the scenes in the White House now pulling down the censorship screen of totalitarian rule by getting ready to soon implement and block freedom of our speech on the Internet and to ban Conservative talk radio and TV, is married to its author. Whoa...oh, really?

Samantha Power, currently an official staff Obama advisor,  is an ultra liberal journalist and public-policy professor. In 2003, she won a Pulitzer for A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide, her book about America's response to genocide. In my opinion, Samantha Power is likely to have profound influence on U.S. foreign policy in the decades to come. Her book caught the fancy of Barrack Obama and Peter Soros funneled financial support from Soro's "Open Society" organization and, in turn, Soros was instrumental in introducing it to the United Nations which then adopted as it was funded and helped along by the Tides Foundation, another Soros' front organization.

The book by Samantha Power is highly critical of Israel and supports the "suppressed" Palestinians to increase their defense against Israel with a "massive army" in the thousands.  The question begs where are all  of those people?  They are in the standing armies already in place  waiting in Egypt, Libya and other Arab countries that have recently toppled.

Now, the story really gets better when an Israeli family's throats are slit last week including both parents and small children.   However, the U.S. and world news media does not really mention much about it.  However, Israel shoots back with retaliatory missiles at a military target and it is reported everywhere about their bad behavior killing Arab civilians. Of course, there are never soldiers hit in their armories or fortified bunkers and barracks, only civilians. Israel is accused of "Crimes against Humanity" for its actions now!  Hmmn...getting the gist of the Israeli set-up yet? 

Gaza City

This is getting closer to a showdown at the OK Corral.  Now where are the gunfighters? First, since these Israelis are doing "crimes against humanity" now "the coalition forces" have the U.N. Directive to go in and clean their clocks.   Now, you can see why Obama made sure we had no blood on our hands because we surgically laser spotted our targets in Libya and NATO was in charge too and therefore we were clean so that the United States can get together with these new united freedom loving people to join with the popular armies in Gaza supporting The Hamas and The Brotherhood  in Gaza City. This scenario could happen now under the direction of the Anti-Christ before Jesus' returns.  Now, Israel could easily be crushed just short of doing the Battle of Armageddon. 

 

Bibilically, it is said that after Jesus' 2nd Coming, down from the sky will come the great hosts of Heaven with Jesus in the lead to destroy the Antichrist and his one-world empire in the awesome Battle of Armageddon.
 

Megiddo near Haifa

This great slaughter of the Antichrist and his armies will take place in and around the valley of Megiddo near Haifa in Israel. It will mark the end of man's cruel rule on earth, as Jesus, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, and His Heavenly forces forcibly take over the World to rule and reign and run it the way it should have been run if man had not disobeyed God and gone his own selfish way! 

And so begins a period known as the Millennium, a thousand years of peace and plenty and paradise on Earth. 

Remember that the Muslim's Koran closely corresponds to the Christian Bible  in many passages, but in the end they are looking for their leader to appear similar to Jesus' second coming. So, the Muslim's are thinking it could come down to that end battle according to a Biblical scholar like the Reverend Franklin Graham, but he added that still no one knows that time until it comes...Stay tuned!

WHAT DO YOU ALL THINK ABOUT OBAMA'S WAR NOW?
