Obama Visits Israel OR When Satan Came To Town

February 27, 2013 

"False friends are worse than bitter enemies." Scottish Proverb

Well, well, well...over four years after taking office, the 'friend' of Israel is finally visiting the Jewish State. Why did he wait so long? Did he have trouble finding it on a map? The smartest man in the room was unable to figure out how to work his GPS or Google Earth?

No, there's no lack of comprehension nor mistake on Obama's part. The President's deliberate avoidance of visiting our only ally in the Middle East is no surprise to those of us who were paying attention since he declared his candidacy in 2007.

You'd have to be either incredibly stupid or intentionally blind not to have seen this administration's disdain and disrespect for Jews and the Jewish State. The empirical evidence is overwhelming. Not including the reprehensible acts and attitudes by Obama's minions, here's just a sampling of his detestable menu of machinations:

• Obama spent 20+ years under the close tutelage of a man, Jeremiah Wright, who spewed hatred toward Jews for years in his sermons and included on the "Pastor's Page" in 2007 of his church newsletter, this remark from a member of Hamas: "I must tell you that Israel was the closest ally to the white supremacists of South Africa. In fact, South Africa allowed Israel to test its nuclear weapons in the ocean off South Africa. The Israelis were given a blank check: they could test whenever they desired and did not even have to ask permission. Both worked on an ethnic bomb that kills Blacks and Arabs." 

• Obama's friend Wright also helped lead the anti-Semitic Global March to Jerusalem...and Obama said nothing to dissuade him or renounce his acts.

• Obama has great respect for Robert Malley, Mideast Director of the International Crisis Group (ICG). Over the years, Malley has penned numerous articles and op-eds condemning Israel, vindicating Palestinians, urging the U.S. to disengage from Israel, and recommending that America reach out to negotiate with its traditional Arab enemies such as Syria, Hezbollah, and Hamas.

• Obama chose an anti-Semitic military advisor, General Merrill "Tony" McPeak.

• Obama has repeatedly removed Israel from the list of countries struck by terrorism.

• Obama chose Ingrid Mattson, leader of a Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated group ISNA (Islamic Society of North America), to recite a prayer during his January 2009 inauguration.

• Obama has chosen a new Secretary of Defense (Chuck Hagel), with, what some would argue, a clear anti-Jewish past. 

• Obama has blamed Israel for the terror committed against it, and made that accusation through Biden, Panetta & Hillary.

• Obama has attempted to 'fundamentally transform' the meaning of Passover by comparing the Muslim uprising to the Exodus. (Huh??)

Obama has dissed the Israeli PM Binyamin 'Bibi' Netanyahu as no US President has ever dared to...and more than once:

• Obama failed to give Bibi the respect due a world leader...he would not allow any photos taken with the PM (but had no problem posing with the thug-o-crat Chavez in the past). Obama did the same to Bibi on another occasion...a public insult, and intended as such.

• Upon reluctantly meeting with Bibi at the White House, Obama handed the PM 13 demands, key among those were a call to halt all new settlement construction in East Jerusalem (which belongs to Israel). According to the London Telegraph, when the Israeli PM delayed, Obama arose from his seat stating: "I'm going to the residential wing to have dinner with Michelle and the girls." And as he departed, Netanyahu was told to contemplate the error of his ways. 

So, Obama's finally going. The timing reveals a few things:

• He's not doing it out of respect for the Jewish State or their leadership...he has none for either.

• He's doing it for a legacy. 

He's already accomplished what he wanted with the US, by crushing our economy, diminishing our defense forces and becoming the  healthcare proxy for granny and the kids. Now he wants to be the Messiah for all the sycophantic Jihadis in the Middle East by injecting venom into Bibi's ability to gather a coalition government...and help get an acquiescent leader into Israel that will fold like a cheap camera for a few faux promises.

So, Bibi...don't be fooled by his Cheshire cat smile...the Devil takes many shapes and forms: And you know THIS Devil.

Shalom through strength...

Hey Dorothy: If They Only Had A Pair

February 26, 2013

It is time to wax veracious about one of the most disturbing and chilling realities in US history: When it comes to speaking the truth about Islam – our political class just doesn’t have a pair.

This gaggle of sniveling shills has demonstrated (ad nauseam) that they’d rather bestow sugary accolades upon Islam than discuss its hyper-anti-Semitic and misogynistic practices. Practices — by the way– that are profoundly rooted in Koranic dogma...

Weeniewood: Mocking Jesus, Never Muhammed

February 25, 2013

"Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once." ~William Shakespeare 

Who doesn't like an Action/Adventure flick every once in a while? Hollywood LOVES to show off its muscle in every Action movie...you know, give 'em blood and gore, they'll want a whole lot more! But with all their Tough-Guy flicks, their recent parody on SNL (Saturday Night Live) proves...

Tinseltown is nothing but: Weeniewood!

NBC (just in time for Lent) parodied director Quentin Tarantino's "Inglorious Bastards" and the more recent "Django Unchained," over the weekend with a repugnantly violent, fictitious movie trailer (skit) about Jesus wreaking bloody retribution upon the Romans who killed him, titled: DJesus Uncrossed. 

Oh those guys are such a bunch of kidders...trashing the central Figure of Christianity...it's such a knee-slapper!! After all, the TRUE religion of peace is safe, since no Biblical Christian will call for your death...or try to slaughter you.

So, the question arises: Well, for the sake of fairness, when is the trailer for Muhammed Goes Postal coming out? (Actually, he himself led 72 bloody campaigns against infidels like you and me, so that would be a documentary, not a parody.)

Have you seen a movie or TV skit critical or sarcastic about Muhammed? Of course not. In fact, you will NEVER see a flick with Muhammed in it, unless it is lying about who he was. But why, pray tell?

Because behind the writing, staging and post-production...they are lily livered invertebrates! As the bullies (the real cowards) they are...it's always easier to shove those who won't shove back. Mock those who won't retaliate. That describes the maturity of Christians.

But...it does NOT describe the violent tendencies of the followers of Muhammed and the Quran. If you happen to be an unbeliever in Islam...your death is called for if you even SPEAK Muhammed's name, no less mock him. And Hollywood knows this...and pulls up its frilly little bloomers and runs like little girls at the mention of mocking Allah's maniacal minion.

So up the sleeve of all those tough-guys is, in reality, a limp wrist? Yuppers...that's the result of no backbone.

Weeniewood: If you want my last vestige of respect, stop going back to WWII for your content. The Nazis are history. Try focusing on the present and reality...

Even if it means your head...ALLAH AKBAR, ladies!!

Adoring Dorner: Liberals Can't Be Evil

February 22, 2013

So the mad monster, who made his foundation the unhinged whimsy of the Left, is now a Crispy Critter. Finally...

But what was revealed during the chase of this evil-doer was what the Left really thinks of itself and its ideology.

Creepy Christopher Dorner loved liberalism. It was unequivocal in his Manifesto. He lavished accolades upon Lefty media minions and heralded Obama and his crew. CNN and MSNBC did a quid pro quo with Dorner...he loved them...and they loved him right back. It just gives the nearest Kool-Aid drinker a thrill up their leg...ooOOOOooo

Meanwhile, four innocent people lay dead, numerous injured...all because a liar, who received justice for his lies, couldn't be a man and take it. He knew he lied, and when found guilty, the Lefty felt...as all Lefties do, since they and their worldview is superior to their opposition: Nothing evil they do is actually evil. They are too good to be evil. 

Liberalism has two rules:

1. Liberals are always right.

2. If a Liberal is wrong, refer to rule one.

Sounds a whole lot like the Muslim terrorists we infidels are in constant defense against. They believe, via the Quran, that they are superior to the infidel. Therefore anything they do in their battle with us...that would ordinarily be perceived as evil: Is just, right and fair.

Hence, the Left's perception, and coverage, of Dorner. His battle was with non-Liberals. Their worldview is inferior, therefore by whatever means possible...get justice. 

Saul Alinsky (a man who sent a thrill up Obama's leg) once said in Rules For Radicals (page 24): "The man of action views the issue of means and ends in pragmatic and strategic terms. He has no other problem; he thinks of his actual resources and the possibilities of various choices of action. He asks of ends only whether they are achievable and worth the cost; of means, only whether they will work."

Slaughtering innocent people to get your way...or get 'justice'...apparently made Dorner an Alinsky's "man of action". Nice.

And as 'Rev.' Al always shrieks: No justice, no peace...and Dorner now has an eternity of the later...

And that's what I call justice!

Brennan: Confirming A Chink In Our Armor

February 19, 2013

"You can't talk of the dangers of snake poisoning and not mention snakes." ~C. Everett Koop 

We're about to have a new CIA Director. Up on the confirmation block: John Brennan. He's currently Obama's chief counterterrorism adviser, the Drone Czar...of Obama's killer Drone program. 

Now, this is the administration that's vehemently against enhanced interrogation techniques (which it considers harsh, yet has provided critical info on terrorists)...but has NO problem blowing up terrorists and killing innocent civilians in the process. And those civilians include children.

Some totals for Drone attacks in Pakistan from 2009-2011: 

• 2009 - 122 civilian deaths, including 39 children 

• 2010 - 214 civilian deaths, including 20 children

• 2011 - 137 civilian deaths, including 11 children

For Pakistan alone (excluding Yemen & Somalia), from 2009-2011, a total 473 civilians were killed by these strikes, including 70 children.  I included the total of children killed because, after all...with Libs: It's all about the children!

The drone vs. enhanced interrogation is not the only problem...

Brennan has many more troubling issues not widely known. According to a former colleague in the FBI, when Brennan was stationed in Saudi Arabia, he converted to Islam. Problem? For me, yes, due to the ideology. But for a PC-infested government, no. So, why is Brennan in the closet about his Muslim faith? (I could ask the same question of Grover Norquist, but I that's for another article.) Isn't Brennan proud of his new 'faith'? His boss has an affinity for it, so what's the problem?

To further confirm Brennan's covert love for his new ideology, I watched him in a video clip speaking to a Muslim audience at the White House, and here's the clip for your perusal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VQbAhqHoAo 

Quite noticeable in the video of Brennan speaking Arabic to a Muslim audience was his change in demeanor when he touched his heart saying "Inshallah" translated Allah willing... 

Then I viewed a clip of an interview of Brennan by my friend Jim Robbins of the Washington Times: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_

embedded&v=XRqecTQbR5g 

It's clear that there is a serious and surreptitious problem with Brennan. Is he a Muslim hiding his identity from his infidel audience, using the doctrine of Taqiyya (lying to infidels for the sake of Islam)? His emotional response in taking umbrage for a completely legit question from Jim Robbins, is disturbing at least. Why did he refuse to answer? Did the question expose his paltering? Does he now don the thin-skinned veneer of terror-linked miscreants like CAIR, when you get too close to the facts?

If our leaders confirm Brennan for this critical national security position, they will have blood on their hands of whatever emanates from a man who fawns over a perverse ideology. A man, who conceals that he's a follower of the 'faith' that is responsible for some of the most heinous crimes against humanity in the last 1,400 years (remember...Hitler also had an affinity for Islam).

Confirming a chink in our armor is insidious. Here's hoping our representatives will not, in ignorance, allow these red flags to pass and eventually merge into a sea of innocent American blood. And make no mistake: If the Senate says "yay"...they will be accomplices to whatever his deeds may be.

Shalom through strength...

Source Of Our Woes: One Flew Over The Liberals' Nest

February 15, 2013

"The madness of liberalism is that it always shifts the blame away from the perpetrators [of evil] to America. We are the only nation that has this developed sense of self-hatred, an irrational self-loathing that borders on the mentally insane." – Ellis Washington

The rhetoric concerning guns, the 2nd Amendment and mass shootings are focused on the wrong target. Those who feel (and I stress 'feel' since the arguments are based on emotion and void of facts) stricter gun laws would make everyone safer, may sound reasonable, but is neither rational nor carries any empirical evidence to support it.

The real problem we now face, is another product of the 1960's rebellion. One based in nihilistic and self-serving worldviews that tainted all of academia. But none so perniciously as those against Psychiatry and the Mental Health Sciences.

We are replete, not only in NYC but in all cities, towns and villages across this nation...with a variety of mentally ill individuals among us thanks to the influence of several individuals. Psychiatrists David Cooper (South African trained Marxist revolutionary, working in Britain), R. D. Laing (from Scotland), Theodore Lidz (from America), Silvano Arieti (from Italy), but most influential in the US: Dr. Thomas Szasz. 

One of their arguments was that "schizophrenia" and psychosis were understandable, and resulted from injuries to the inner self-inflicted by psychologically invasive "schizophrenogenic" parents or others; it was sometimes viewed as a transformative state attempting to cope with a sick society. 

In other words: Being sane in an insane place. People trying to adjust to a crazy world, which made them 'appear' crazy. Those who were unable to cope with everyday life were seen as sane victims, in a sick society. 

The answer from anti-Psychiatry believers? Set them free...they can take care of themselves.

This anti-psychiatry movement was the catalyst that brought about President John F. Kennedy's Community Mental Health Act of 1963, which led to the release of many mentally ill into our everyday communities. Today, between 30-50% of homeless people in the United States are people with mental illness. This push for deinstitutionalization had many advocates, but few as diligent as Thomas Szasz (and Citizens Commission on Human Rights [CCHR], an institution set up by Scientology and Szasz). 

Anti-psychiatry advocates spread their corrupt ideas in many ways throughout society. One of those proponents was author Kenneth Kesey, who wrote "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest". The book, play and movie were based partially on Laing's thinking. Kesey didn't believe that these patients were insane, but rather that society had pushed them out because they didn't fit the traditional ideas of how people were expected to act and behave. He used entertainment to portray an anti-psychiatry philosophy leading to a public disapproval with residential mental facilities resultant in further deinstitutionalization policies.

These 'progressive' thinkers viewed mentally ill individuals as having their dignity and freewill diminished by being categorized "mentally ill" and being confined. Their influence spread to Liberal academia and further infected politicos, who to this day continue to close State mental health facilities and release these perniciously unstable people into our midst...and the result has been catastrophic. Incident after incident of people being pushed in front of subway trains (147 last year), bludgeoned with a brick (Times Square 1999), mass murderers (Sandy Hook, Columbine, Aurora, etc), and more recently the shooting death of Chris Kyle & Chad Littlefield in TX by a mentally unstable man (who wanted to kill himself and his family in Sept., was institutionalized and released). All these found to have mental illness confirmed by their actions toward others and themselves. 

So, what do many of these mentally ill do now that they're not inpatients? Well, your local State social workers drop them off at Malls, shopping centers and restaurants. They have even given them tickets to fly south for warmer climates. Isn't that precious?

Now, I believe in personal responsibility. Every individual is responsible for their behavior. That being said...having people who are clearly unable to function normally and are in need of therapy AND medication...I believe it is appropriate and condign to place a great deal of blame upon Liberals and their policies. These suffering individuals are being kept from leading normal lives because they are being used as pawns in another social experiment of the Left's failed ideology. Strategies that are favorable toward miscreants and any element of society that just might hurt innocent people.

The bottom line is this: Our woes have a source. It's not a weapon that can be locked and loaded. It's a disastrous ideology that continues to be implemented, expecting different results...yet the results remain the same.

I believe Einstein called that...insanity!

Quartet's Interminable Cacophony: Road Map Phase I

February 12, 2013

"The senseless man does not know, fools do not understand." Tehillim / Psalms 92:6

Our culture...and world...is filled with a plethora of foolish timewasters. I guess that can always be said of mankind because of its nature. Fads/trends in music, fashion, dance and entertainment...distractions that can be costly but fleeting and benign. They affect the population in a cursory manner. We all indulge, but rarely are the consequences grave.

But, when leaders...and the so-called sage among us...band together to create serious plans that affect matters of life and death, based NOT upon facts but rather upon idealized notions which have no foundation in reality: EVERYONE will pay the piper.

Such is the case with the now infamous Quartet on the Middle East (UN, US, EU & Russia). After 54 sessions, spanning from 2002-2012, the misguided orchestra of political virtuosos devised a plan that has YET to be implemented. Their brilliant plan was the Road Map for Peace.

There's one itsy bitsy problem with the map: The very first part of the first sentence of Phase I has been ignored by the Palestinians. And that avoidance has been shared by the Map's designers.

Here's it is: 

Phase I (as early as May 2003): End to Palestinian violence; Palestinian political reform; Israeli withdrawal from Palestinian cities and freeze on settlement expansion; Palestinian elections.

This phase was to be implemented "as early as 2003". The first requirement? "End to Palestinian violence."

This has NEVER occurred. NEVER! 

From Israel's rebirth in 1948, the Jewish State's Arab/Muslim neighbors have brutally attacked the tiny nation and its civilians. The attacks have been interminable...though few have been reported in the Western media. And the so-called cease-fire or truces don't count...these are Islamic Hudnas. A hudna is more of an intermission. The show of violence directed toward civilians will continue WHEN the Islamists are refueled, rearmed and refreshed.

When the duly elected Islamic government of the PA (Palestinian Authority) complies, I'll tune back into the performance. Because so far, it's one bloody cacophony!

Shalom through strength...

Benghazi Rhetoric: The New Normal  

February 8, 2013

"Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools talk because they have to say something." -- Plato

If anyone had the displeasure to sit through the Benghazi Hearings...an exercise in futility...you were treated to what appears now to be their new normal talking points concerning any Embassy attack that happens under this president.

On Friday, in Ankara, Turkey...a homicide-bomber detonated a bomb outside the US Embassy, killing himself and an Embassy guard. Al-Qaeda, or a proxy of Iran, is suspected. But the media, in cooperation with Turkey's officials, said the bombing was linked to a leftist domestic militant.

Now get ready for a shocker...the White House and U.S. State Department said it's too early to determine who is behind the bombing. Why that sounds awfully familiar. Isn't that what this same White House and State said about Benghazi...months after the attack?

But perhaps they should just go with the now former Sec. of State, Hillary Clinton's brilliant statement: "What difference does it make?"

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said, "We strongly condemn what was a suicide attack against our embassy in Ankara...officials "do not know at this point who is responsible or the motivations behind the attack." 

Oh, I don't know, Jay...Valentine's Day is coming...maybe it was a love crime. 

For an administration that constantly lauds itself, and it's members, as being the most intelligent people in the room...why repeat this fatuous rhetoric? How is it that they are incapable of connecting simple dots? 

• These fiends loathe us because this is part of their worldview.

• Their barbaric frame of reference dictates that they inflict fear (which is terror) via violence, to get their way.

They are unequivocal about who they are (Jihadists), and what they want to do (destroy us), so scratching your head on this is equivalent to scratching your tukis: You get the same result...Bupkis!

State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said U.S. officials were "working closely with the Turkish national police to make a full assessment of the damage and the casualties, and to begin an investigation."

"Begin an investigation"? My GOSH...it appears, like Libya, these "investigations" are interminable. They never appear to come to a complete conclusion (as evidenced with Benghazi). 

The American people deserve leaders that actually possess active gray matter and are capable of discerning the plain facts, so we as a country, are assured proper national defense. This is the LEAST we should expect from those given such venerable positions in our Republic.

This new normal rhetoric concerning anything that just might be connected to Islamic terrorism, is insulting to Americans. Despite this administration's sad assessment of America's grasp of who our enemy is: We actually KNOW who they are.

Now, Mr. President...how about you and yours?

The PA: Blasting Their Way To Israel's Heart

January 5, 2013

"The existence of Israel is an error which we must put right. This is our opportunity to wipe out the disgrace which is Israel which has been with us since 1948. Our goal is clear- to wipe Israel off the map." ~Haji Abdul Rahman Arif, president of Iraq 1966-68, on a Radio broadcast, 1 June 1967

Let's try this scenario: Someone in your workplace says, "I want part of your cubicle and I want to work next to you, all you need do is say yes. If you don't, I will violently attack you, your family and friends until you agree." And they begin and continue to murder, maim and terrorize your world. And others, not involved in the situation, are pressuring YOU to comply in order to have peace in the office. No pressure on the perps, but rather on the victim. 

What would you do? And what kind of neighbors/colleagues would they make? How would they negotiate their way through problems...with terror tactics until you acquiesce? What do you make of those pressuring you to surrender to these thuggish tactics? Does this appear rational? 

Well, that is precisely what has been happening since the day of Israel's rebirth as a nation. Their Arab/Muslim neighbors...who vehemently resisted Israel's land being returned to the Jews...have terrorized the tiny Jewish State since its restoration. 

Sadly, even US administrations who have been staunch allies of the Jewish State, have...in the face of the interminable violence against innocent Jews...pressured Israel to surrender their land for nonexistent peace. And yet, despite the empirical evidence proving land-for-peace is an unmitigated failure...world governments, including the US, continue to pressure the victim to surrender instead of the perp to cease. 

And so the game continues with different players...

Sec. of State nominee, Sen. John Kerry, is already making his voice heard on the Mideast peace talks. At his confirmation hearing he said, "My hope is...my prayer is that perhaps this can be a moment where we can renew some kind of effort to get the parties into a discussion to have a different track than we have been on over the last couple of years."

Hope and reality are world's apart, in this instance. Since Kerry will be speaking on behalf of this administration, NOTHING will change in their perspective on Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA). Obama's peeps have been mum on the daily violence perpetrated against Israel and their civilians, and they will again twist Israel's arm on the non-issue of Jews building on Jewish land.

More innocent Israelis will be brutalized and/or die, the perps of the PA and their ilk will again escape culpability for the hostile milieu. And the world will again join in a cacophony of veiled hate allowing the PA to show 'neighborly love' the only way they know how: By blasting their way to Israel's heart.

Here we go for four more hopeless and changeless years...

Shalom through strength...
