The front page of the February 6, 2008 edition. Notice the lack of a question mark. Obama is the new anointed one, the new 'hope for America'. Hillary is toast in the Dem circles, according to the Philadelphia Daily News. Oh well, how bad can it get?
Look no further than that picture for a reason to not sit out the election next November!
I am reading Thomas Paine's Common Sense, and feel the need to mention it to my three or four readers. This Pamphlet, written in 1776, could stand today, very easily. There are so many quotes, so many situations that fit the world as it is right now, but I will not quote them all. I will, however, paste one here, one that was directed to the Quakers of 1776 and can be directed to the peace movement today:
"We fight neither for revenge nor conquest; neither from pride nor passion; we are not insulting the world with our fleets and armies, nor ravaging the globe for plunder. Beneath the shade of our own vines are we attacked; in our own houses, and on our own lands, is the violence committed against us."
Anyone with any common sense should be able to see that we do not fight for oil, we do not fight for colonization, we fight for our future, and if we lose, there will be no future.
WOW…I missed this one. If you have 6 minutes, go watch this ad from the Super Bowl, it gives me hope for a future…
The mind is boggled at the contortions of the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC). This organization, naturally, condemns Israel for sealing Gaza in an attempt to stop the rocket attacks. These attacks are well reported but ignored when it comes time to bash Israel. The insanity is rather sickening, but I am getting used to it and that is the problem. The article in question is so chock full of lies and distortions it is hard to decide which to refute first.
I found one, and I am going to just do this one. Here are two quotes from the article, keeping in mind that Gaza shares a border with Egypt as well as Israel and that Israel pulled out of Gaza last year.
""We hold Israel responsible for the deteriorating humanitarian conditions in the Gaza Strip and assert that these conditions are a direct result of Israel's persistent assault, closure of border crossings and disruption of the flow of fuel, food and medical supplies to the Palestinian people," they said in a written communique issued at the end of the extraordinary meeting of the organization's executive committee."
Okay…now, later in the same article, linked above:
"Malki commended Egypt for opening the border to Gazans with a view to helping them stock up on essential goods and water."
There are many pictures of what Gazans considered essential, mainly Cigarettes and Big Screen televisions though. Okay, in the same publication, the Arab News comes the kicker, the proof that all of this is distortions:
Egypt Seals Last Breach in Border
"Egyptian forces sealed the last breach in the border with the Gaza Strip yesterday, stopping an influx of Palestinians into Egypt across a frontier blown open by Hamas Islamists defying an Israeli-led blockade."
If the Arab world cared one whit about the fate of the Palestinians, the border between Gaza and Egypt would be easier to cross, and Egypt would do more to stop the flow of weapons. No, the Arab world needs the Palestinians to suffer so the intermediate goal of the destruction of Israel can be fulfilled on the way to the ultimate goal of world domination by these Islamic cretins.
This is what you are going to get if you elect a Democrat, someone that feels it is right to tell you what to spend your money on. I understand that health care is something important, but it is not the job of the government to force people to buy insurance. If the government did not force hospitals to provide expensive care to everyone that walks through the door health care would not be so expensive. Imagine if it were the same at the supermarket. Everyone that comes in is entitled to a cart full of whatever food they want, regardless of their ability to pay. How expensive would food become? How many people would actually pay? This is what the Democrats want, and it SUCKS.
Darn it, now I have to switch my Candidate…Oh well, it was bound to happen.
Here is the reason I am switching to Rudy.
There doesn't seem to be a whole lot to say about this at the moment, I am in PA and am not part of the selection process as it is. Oh well, I will be working hard for some local candidates throughout the year and will keep my assorted readers up to date on those situations as they arise.
