Barack Obama is whining in his cheese because Senator McCain and President Bush have labeled Obama an appeaser.
Yeah … Obama’s concept of winning a war is having multilateral talks with rogue nations and Islamist terrorists to give them what they want while the U.S. of A. skips town.
Sounds like appeasement to me!
Then Obama gets his back all hunched up and says if they want to debate about protecting America he is ready for that one because Bush’s policies have divided America and the President and his supporters – like McCain – have a lot to answer for.
What a load of Dem dung: It is the Dems and the Leftist MSM that have divided America with distorted reports while not verbally attacking America’s enemies for attacking America on our homeland and abroad.
Islamofascist terrorism has attacked American assets through Republican and Democratic Presidencies. Do you think America should lie down after invading Afghanistan just because al Qaeda and its closest regional ally the Taliban colluded on the final straw that awakened a President to not look the other way about the existence of Islamist rogue nations and terrorists?
No the Democrats (and Obama is one of them) saw an opportunity to bring down a Presidency that was reversing Left Wing social engineering by using a rough stretch in the GWOT as a center piece. That is not only appeasement it is treacherous politics as far as I am concerned.
The Dems are further using the Leftist MSM in quoting McCain to allude that sooner or later America will have to deal with Hamas, while claiming that Obama would never negotiate with the terrorist organization Hamas.
Hmm … Let’s think about that before people go off and agree with the Dhimmicrats that McCain is wading in hypocrisy. I suspect McCain’s view of negotiation would be completely different than a Dhimmicrat version of negotiation.
I suspect the Dhimmicrats would fall in line with the current Bush Administration of giving everything but the proverbial kitchen sink to Hamas and Fatah (both are equally terrorists) believing that would secure peace in the Middle East between Mohammedan nations and Israel.
When comes to the time to “deal” with Hamas it should be more like this: You will recognize Israel’s existence and quit trying to bring a second Jewish Holocaust or American and Israeli troops will march through Gaza to destroy Hamas and its so-called civilian supporters.
Now that is what I call negotiation. AND that is why Hamas has publicly endorsed Obama for President in America.
I am looking forward to that debate with between Obama and McCain so I can watch Obama squirm when McCain uses reality to slap Democratic Party half-truths down Obama’s throat.

A Commenter that calls him/her/both self “Gay Pride” said this to a June 4, 2007 post on Gay Pride parades in Jerusalem:
i say go ahead and show your pride people GAY PRIDE RULES AND NOTHING ANY BIGOT CAN SAY WILL STOP ME FROM SHOWING MY PRIDE
I am never in the mood for homosexuals to validate their lifestyle with displays of so-called “pride” and then have the audacity to proclaim the Biblical view of homosexuality as bigoted and thus by extension asserting that I am a bigot.
I merely write the Truth that the darkness of deaf ears and blind eyes cannot see due to the delusion of worshipping the creation more than the Creator. If anyone is bigoted here it is the homosexual who rejects Christ’s Grace or humanistically cherry picks Holy Scripture to validate deviancy as defined Biblically (not by the human AMA or its psychiatric twin).
The Epistle of Romans in the New Testament is the classic measuring stick of the sinfulness of the practice of homosexuality:
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality,[c] wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving,[d] unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them. [Romans 1: 18 – 32 NKJV. Emphasis Mine]
Here is where a homosexual will do one of two things (sometimes both):
1. They will find some deviant scholar that will say some hogwash that the Scripture is not talking about homosexuality; or
2. Notice the passage “deserving of death” and rant on that Western Culture has moved on from such medieval practices.
In addressing number one only a moron would interpret phrases like “women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature” or “Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful” as not addressing homosexuality.
In addressing number two the phrase “deserving of death” is for different than the Old Testament judgment of “death.”
“You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination” (Lev. 18: 22 NKJV).
“If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them.” (Lev. 20: 13 NKJV)
I am not Jewish thus I cannot attest to the modern interpretation of these Scriptures in Judaism; however in a Christian perspective these Scriptures are part of the Law. Christ came not to abolish the Law but to fulfill it (Matt. 5: 17 – 20) and in fulfilling it those who believe in the risen Lord are no longer under the penalty of the Law but are under Grace (Rom. 10: 4; Gal. 3: 23 – 29; Eph. 2: 11 - 22).
On the other hand Grace is not a license to sin (which includes more than just a homosexual lifestyle but all lifestyles contrary to the Word of God).
Romans 6: 12 – 23 nails it as far as homosexuality or any lifestyle that sets out to contradict a Christian Biblical lifestyle.
12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. 13 And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. 14 For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.
15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! 16 Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? 17 But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered. 18 And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. 19 I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness, and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness.
20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21 What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. 22 But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (NKJV)
Grace covers the penalty of death in this life but does not absolve the consequences of the Law if a sin lifestyle separates one from God thus reawakening the curse of the Law. The curse of the Law has “reaping and sowing” consequences either in this life or in the life after death at the Last Judgment.
In ending my response to “Gay Pride’s” Comment, homosexuals walk a dangerous line in this Life because Grace and Forgiveness is always available if one calls on the Name of Christ as Lord even to one’s last breath. As to bigotry, homosexuals and the supporters of a homosexual lifestyle are the true bigots because in flouting the Grace and Holiness of God they are in essence acting in prejudice against Christians.
America fighting the Global War on Terror watches as anti-Hezbollah forces valiantly refuse to lie down.
The United Nations (the global joke on standing for peace and human rights) which has U.N. Peace Keeping Forces in Southern Lebanon watch as anti-Hezbollah forces valiantly refuse to lie down.
European Powers (France, Germany, Britain and EU) look the other way as anti-Hezbollah forces refuse to lie down.
Walid Phares equates the anti-Hezbollah forces to the Spartans legendary 300 that held Thermopylae against the invading superior military Persians long enough for the then usually internally fractured Greeks to come together to defeat Persia: The very Persia that calls itself today Iran.

Is this crazy or what? Code Pink brought witches to place spells and curses on a Marine recruiting center in Berkeley (Breitbart.tv feed – unsure how long it will be up). I mean is this evil or what? Witchcraft is definitely a form of anti-Christianity and then (whether you believe in this hoodoo or not) with evil intent wish evil upon a United States Marine Corps recruiting station and I am guessing all that are associated with it.
How nuts is that?
How un-American is that?
How anti-Christian is that?
There are two Archbishops in Britain duking it out verbally in public over the affect of Mohammedanism in Britain.
Ironically Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams appears to be the appeasement minded head of the Anglican Church that is calling for a multiculturalism that accepts Mohammedan Sharia Law to compete or override the British rule of law as it applies to enforcement in Britain.
The Archbishop of Rochester Michael Nazir-Ali by name is of Pakistani descent. Archbishop Nazir-Ali has been writing about how Mohammedanism is fracturing British society establishing in there are actually “no-go areas” for Brits in which the harshness of Sharia Law is exercised contrary to British Law.
Does America have this moronic appeasement to look forward to as Secular Humanists attempt to eradicate the influence of Christianity and accommodate the religion of Mohammedanism?

In the 1930’s the Japanese Empire had the military acumen to be a Super Power in Asia and the Pacific Islands in the Japanese sphere of influence. There was one problem Japan faced with their powerful military and hegemonic agenda. Japan did not have the natural resources to maintain a military in the event a nation with natural resources challenged the expansion of the Japanese Asian grip.
Japan needed oil and metals to be a powerhouse. Japan was fully aware their expansionism would collide with the National Interests of America eventually. Preparation was needed for this confrontation. The only logical solution for a nation with the hubris of go-it-alone self-determination was to prepare tactical scenarios to weaken or strike fear in the American government to try to mold a revision of the American National Interests in the Pacific and Asian economies.
After weighing the tactics it was decided to try to take out the strength of America’s Pacific Fleet; thus the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
Like it or not oil is even more important today as a source of energy today than in the 1930’s. Oil has empowered the Islamist dream of a global Muslim spread of their religion in the style of the glory days of using the sword and fear exampled by their prophet Mohammed. Without oil the Middle East would still be a third rate collection of clannish dominated nations with Islam confined. Industrially or Economic powerhouses would have zero interest in camel jockey land and Muslim Middle Easterners would probably have no interests outside of regional clannish/national interests of petty squabbling.
Indeed though there is an abundance of oil in the Middle East and it is controlled by nations that serve the harshest and conservative interpretations of their Quran, Hadith, Sunna, etc.
America and Western Europe have been natural allies since the end of WWII. Present day Russia and the former Soviet Union had their own political agenda of spreading repressive Communism (really Russian hegemony in the name of Communism). China was somewhat under the Russian orbit of Communism but fiercely independent and weaker than Russia and America industrially.
As interdependent Globalism began to evolve in the economies of the world, things began to change.
Eastern Europe became liberated from the grasp of a weakened Russia after the fall of repressive Communism as the governing principle. Russia by no means the Super Power of the USSR days, but still powerful enough to have hegemonic designs in their immediate region.
Global economics suddenly saw the flow of capital into India and (ironically anti-capitalist) Communist China.
Suddenly China had the money to build a military infrastructure that will eventually challenge or test the strength of the current hyper-power America.
Globalism has conjoined the world into a global economy in which the power of capitalism (for better or worse) connected humanity for the first time in a state that transforms National Interests to the Global Interests of individuals.
There are two huge down sides to this Global Interest. There are still powerful nation-states that have developed cultural values that do not match the Global Interests.
America has iconized its Constitution as the measuring stick of what Freedom, Liberty, Civil Rights, Domestic Tranquility and the Pursuit of Happiness is. There is political polarization on defining the direction of those freedoms; nonetheless on both sides of the polls the essence of the Constitution is sacrosanct.
Western Europe has taken a more egalitarian definition of Liberty and Freedom that has led more to the rights of multicultural or group Liberty rather than individual Liberty; thus the attempt to balance what constitutes a hate crime or an offense to a cultural group or group phenomena.
The relatively new acquisition of freedom in Western Europe is trying to discover the path of American Liberty, European Liberty and the former rule of Law left behind from Soviet control.
Whether Russia has been Czarist, Communist or toying with the concepts of Democracy; has always been the State defines the welfare of the people. I believe Russia will eventually lose most of the tenets of Democracy to go back to what it knows best on how to govern their people; i.e. a combination of benevolence and the stick to inspire Russian Patriotism and Pride from the State. This means Russia will again challenge Europeans and America with their own hegemonic goals (at least regionally).
There is the Third World. The Third World struggles to instill Democracy while battling the evils of political and/or criminal corruption or they are just plain dominated by a strong man with some kind of military support to remain in power until a revolution or assassination replaces one strong man for another.
And of course there are the oil Baron Nations of which most are Muslim and being Muslim and feeling empowered by oil wish to spread political Islam globally.
So here is the problem: there is actually a Global Interest that affects individuals economically but no power structure to enforce the Global Interest. Why? The reason is the globe is still ruled by Nations – some good and some bad (and flowing to downright evil). Their ideologies clash forming diverging National Interests according to the ideology. When the National Interests clash it boils down to one mitigating factor in this day and age – oil and how to attain it economically.
The day that oil threatens the ideology of the Nation or Nations that have military clout regardless of ideology or religion, the next global war will occur.
Look around. Nations are slowly gravitating toward alliances (that may become official some day) in which the National Interests are shared and oil is the target.
Islamism may be the spark as the assassination of Franz Ferdinand was the spark for WWI; however it will be oil that is the prize sought.
I’ve written all this because America is focused (rightly so) on the Global War on Terror; however China is slowly becoming that nation (like Japan) that will be desperate for oil as a resource to the Asian and Pacific hegemon.
And again which nation is the greatest obstacle to acquiring oil and Asian hegemony? Yep, it is the United States of America.
A Chinese surprise attack will not be with planes launching from Chinese Air Craft Carriers on Pearl Harbor. It will start with surgical nukes from their submarine fleet that will first target global communications then military targets to cripple the best human fighting force the world has ever seen.
I don’t think I am exaggerating. READ THIS!
The Mainstream Media (MSM) is all in a blather (and so also Barack Hussein Obama) over a comment manipulated by the MSM of John McCain.
If you have not heard, the MSM is painting a picture that McCain said Hamas endorses Obama for President. Obama has tried to exploit this sound byte by being outraged that his Campaign receives the endorsement of the Murdering Muslim terrorist organization known as Hamas.
The reality is McCain was quoting a Hamas spokesman who indeed said Hamas preferred Obama over McCain for President of the United States.
Of course the Obama Campaign is going to reject such support as he has – uh – rejected and denounced racist Jeremiah Wright who Obama claims was his mentor and Pastor for over TWENTY YEARS. It would be political suicide to openly even hint publicly that Hamas has a case for destroying Jews and Israel off the planet earth.
After twenty years of association with Jeremiah Wright and a former association of Jew hating Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam I wonder what Obama privately believes.
Anyway, McCain’s point should be noticed. There must be a reason why Hamas fears a McCain Presidency and embraces an Obama Presidency.
Keep that in the back of your mind as you read this report from WorldNetDaily.com.
Now I know John Kerry is not in the Presidential hunt in 2008; however when I read an interview of a fellow captive with John McCain in North Vietnam’s torture prison camp known as Hanoi Hilton, I immediately thought of the difference of what a Dem thinks of decorated hero and what real Americans think decorated heroes are.
Supporters of Kerry’s war record are those that directly served on his boat and the reports given and written by Kerry himself in which top brass read then awarded citations of valor and medals. So there are documented facts yet different interpretations of those facts exist. There is a mystery of Kerry’s discharge from the Navy itself. The thing is serious some dispute of the validity of the documentation. So even after the long delay of Kerry allowing his war record to be released, doubters of Kerry’s war record have a good foundation to doubt. Besides a true American hero does not trash his fellow military comrades directly after leaving the Service if he indeed performed the acts the disputable documentation portrays.
It is no wonder that Kerry is part of the cut-n-run crowd which is actually a disappointing huge amount of people, not just Democratic Party politicians.
So I have taken one more shot at Senator Kerry for this reason. There is man running for President in 2008 who also is Vietnam Vet and there is little mystery of his heroism during the war or after. That candidate is Republican John McCain.
There are Leftists that are trying to debunk McCain’s war record attempting to do a Left Wing version of Swift Boating. However there is little mystery in facts and the conclusions that follow as with John Kerry. After the Vietnam War, McCain did NOT jump on the “I HATE AMERICA” Left Wing gravy train to infamy as Kerry did.
I found this website that is blatantly stinging toward John McCain record as a POW throwing doubt on the veracity of McCain’s medals. It reads like the words of vets in the John Kerry mold; i.e. veterans that hate their nation and their Service. Then the site links to another person who offers his negative opinion.
The site unwittingly mentions that Colonel George “Bud” Day nursed McCain back to health after being taken as a POW.
Oops! Bud Day does NOT corroborate the website’s disdain for McCain’s heroism. READ HERE. (McCain’s military records – HERE.)
Well – Well – Well! One of the most famous pollsters in the world has been caught validating conclusions from data that is dubious. That pollster organization is Gallup. The authors that cooked the data are John L. Esposito and Dalia Mogahed. The books title is "Who Speaks for Islam?" The end game of the book is to establish the amount of 1.6 billion of the world’s Muslims that are radical Islamists is very miniscule.
In an interview Mogahed (probably unwittingly) showed the data gathering was flawed as well as the way in which the conclusions were derived.
So again I say WAKE UP AMERICA! Mohammedan civilization is NOT compatible with Western civilization’s evolved democratic principles of Liberty, Freedom and the Pursuit of Happiness; and that especially applies to America. European democracy has been so infected with egalitarian tolerance that radical Mohammedans use Western principles to slowly infect Europe’s Western culture with the virus of Islamism.
I was alerted to this pro-Mohammedan propaganda by Act! For America in an email. The email informs this:
Cooking the Books to Mask the Number of Islamic Radicals
In a stunning illustration of how apologists for militant Islam flat-out distort the truth, Robert Satloff writes in the Weekly Standard how John Esposito and Dalia Mogahed “cooked the books” to make their own data appear to show there were only a small percentage of “radical” Muslims worldwide.
Esposito and Mogahed make the claim that only 7% of Muslims worldwide are “radical.” That amounts to about 91 million Muslims. No small number.
But a closer examination of their data reveal that the number of those who are “radical” is actually at least twice that many, and more likely three to four times that many – or between 300 million and 480 million Muslims worldwide!
To discover just how they pulled off this sleight of hand, click on the link below to read Satloff’s article.
