Peace...that ever elusive intangible that is unachievable in a world filled with bomb-donning jihadists and megalomaniacal martinets.

For the umpteenth time now, the US (with a gun to Israel's temple) has pressured Israel to agree to indirect talks with the PA ('Palestinian' Authority). PM Binyamin 'Bibi' Netanyahu has stated that he hopes it will lead to direct talks resuming.

Does Bibi really believe this will occur and will lead to a peaceful resolution? Recognizing how perspicacious the PM is, I'm sure he already knows the results: More of the same. Continued and increased hatred toward Israel and Jews globally; the unrelenting paltering about the Jewish State; and the interminable violence by the true occupiers (the 'palestinians') toward the true property owners (the Jewish people).

The Vice Premier and Minister for Strategic Affairs Moshe Yaalon, made it unequivocal at a Tel Aviv University conference, when he stated that "(such talks) can address the framework for peace talks, but none of the actual issues, especially when the Palestinian leadership continues to negate the Jewish people's connection to the Land of Israel, while simultaneously cultivating hatred and opposition to Israel's existence and trying to discredit us in the global arena."

And these words are analogous to Bibi's in January of this year (http://www.ediblog.com/audjblog.htm#No), and on many other occasions, though rarely covered by the Western media.

The bottom-line, yet again: If Israel does NOT have the right to exist, it has the right to bupkis (nothing).

And that's just how the PA (and the rest of the Arab world) sees it. Yet, the PA has never kept one promise from peace talks, nor ever ceased violence towards innocent Israeli citizens, nor EVER agreed to Israel's right to exist (nor will they ever).

You want to know where Jewish guilt comes from? This kind of meshugass (insanity). Force Israel to beat this dead horse of peace talks with the so-called palestinians, and when those talks fail (due to the disinterest of the PA)...then blame Israel for its death.

Where's The Proof?

March 8, 2010

The American intelligentsia (along with a phalanx of spineless generals) declares that allowing gays to serve openly in the military will enhance our ability to defeat the enemy. Yet when pressed to offer even one shred of empirical evidence to bolster such a claim--they fall cravenly silent.

Truth be told: there is absolutely no evidence to support such a feckless and irrational assertion. In fact history explicitly demonstrates that--while gays were strictly prohibited from enlisting during WW II--US Forces were able to soundly defeat two of the most prolific (not to mention savage and nefarious) military enemies our great nation has ever confronted. (Why the prohibition? Because during that noble time period--homosexuality was considered incompatible with military service.)

Enhance our ability: Where's the proof?

"Those that cling to the spurious notion (that on 9/11 Islam was hijacked) are clearly oblivious to the raw, historical facts concerning this most archaic and virulent religion. On that infamous day, Islam was not (in fact) hijacked--but followed to the nth degree."
---Prof. C'mon Sense

Violently Antithetical

March 4, 2010

"Given the irrefutable fact that Islam is not only a religion, but also a political system that is violently antithetical to Western Civilization--I have just issued Executive Order 777 which directly prohibits the entry of any and all individuals (who reside in Islamic countries) from entering the United States."

"The so-called health care crisis was a narrative created by Hillary (and the Dems) back in the 90's for the solitary purpose of scoring huge political points with those on the lower rungs of the socioeconomic ladder. And the very moment she accused Republicans of being mean-spirited for opposing her solution (Hillarycare) --the GOPers (instead of refuting the highly spurious narrative with the facts) simply retreated to the dark, dank caves of cowardice...And that is exactly why, over fifteen years later--we are still debating this manufactured emergency ."

---From the Domestic Policy Desk at OIB

If someone were to ask me why I dislike the current occupant of the White House, I'd have to pause. Not to find a reason...but to peruse the menu...

I have never seen anyone work so arduously, or been so deaf and myopic as Barry Hussein Obama and his crew. Putting aside his idiocy on domestic issues like cramming government-controlled (taxpayer paid) healthcare down citizen's throats...Barry's handling of our image in the world, wins the prize...

Probably one of the most risible 'promises' of Obama on the campaign trail was his oath to 'repair America's image in the World'.

Couldn't be the Europeans...they voted in pro-American leaders like Merkel, Sarkozy and Berlusconi. Nor the Czechs and Poles...they took a grave chance in agreeing to a US Missile defense system being placed in their respective countries. Nor our Cousins across the Pond...who have been our stalwart allies since WWI.

The only entities who growl at the thought of us are our enemies...the enemies of freedom. But O handled that with his Atonement Tour, in which he acted like an Old Testament priest atoning for America's past sins...and to some of the most vile critters and fiefdoms roaming the earth. Only loathers of liberty hate America...and sadly that includes Barry.

So, how indeed did our chief executive 'change' our image in the world in his first year and few months in office?

Why all those allies we HAD...he's carefully, one-by-one, stabbed them in the back. He betrayed our Czech and Polish friends by going back on our word about promised Missile Defense systems.

Stab #2 went in the back of our British cousins. Obama sent back a bust of Winston Churchill gifted to us during Bush's term of office. But wait...Barry's disdain for the Brits deserved two more insults. First a 'gift' to Gordon Brown of a box set of 25 classic American films ...it was, as Ian Drury of the UK Daily Mail online put it, "a gift about as exciting as a pair of socks." Then gives Queen Elizabeth an iPod with his own speeches. (I didn't know the Royal Lady liked to listen to the grating sound of nails mauling a blackboard?!)

But these stabs were apparently not sufficient enough to hurt our friends, in O's perverse perspective. He has now instructed his minion Hillary 'I still want to be the first female president' Clinton to stay "neutral" on the current Falkland Islands discord.

The Falkland Islands are UK territory...but Argentina has disputed it, erroneously, for years. El Diablo Hugo Chavez is prodding the corrupt Argentine leadership to grab the Islands back...and Barry? Well, he wants to kill two birds with one stone...further injure our UK comrades while licking the socialist-boots of our antagonists.

Nice work, Barry...I'm beginning to think you are an agent of 'change' because you're actually a *changeling (which might explain why no one can locate your original birth documents).

I prefer our original image: Stalwart friend. Defender and supporter of global freedom and democracy. Land of the free and home of the brave. A beacon upon a hill.

*A changeling is a creature found in Western European folklore and folk religion. It is typically described as being the offspring of a fairy, troll, elf or other legendary creature that has been secretly left in the place of a human child.

One of the most bewildering (not to mention disturbing) aspects of the ObamaCare debate has been the oft repeated mantra that: All Americans have the right to quality and affordable health care. Sadly, when those chanting this formula are questioned as to where this right derives from--they quickly spout the typical response--The Constitution.

Truth is, The Constitution makes absolutely no provision for nationalized health care. In fact--it makes no provisions whatsoever for any of the socialistic programs (affordable housing, welfare, etc.) that have not only been a profound bane to taxpayers--but also to the free market system.

Remember: The Constitution states "promote the general Welfare"--not provide it.

February 26, 2010

Those who voted for Barack Hussein Obama (and are now whining incessantly that they have been blindsided by far-left radicalism) are, for lack of a better term--damn liars. These individuals were totally cognizant of Obama's associations and kinships with highly perfidious and rabid radicals (which included a psychotic cleric by the name of Wright who thought it a moral imperative to distribute the Hamas manifesto to his congregation).

Damn liars!

February 25, 2010

"There is no question that Iran's nuclear ambitions were aided and abetted by former IAEA general director, Mohamed ElBaradei. The Nobel Laureate was a master at obfuscation and deceit when it came to the progress of Tehran's nuclear program. Manifestly, ElBaradei saw the Persian regime as a viable Mideast counterweight to the one nation he truly disdained--Israel."

Super-Rigid Ideologue

February 24, 2010

With the President Obama introducing his own version of nationalized health care (a socialistic hodgepodge of nannyism)--the last scintilla of doubt about what the man truly is has finally been dislodged. Because to present such a bill (in the face of hyper-strident, not to mention overwhelming public opposition) is proof positive that Barack Hussein Obama is exactly what he claims not to be: a self-serving, super-rigid ideologue.

Oh, he's doing it again...that Organizer Extraordinaire. That Sage Selector. That Producer of Perspicacity. He's made another selection to represent our country to the world. Who and to what part of the world, you ask...

The man is Rashad Hussain, who defended the leader of the terrorist group Palestinian Islamic Jihad (University of South Florida professor Sami al-Arian).

And Hussain will be going to none other than the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC).

Oh, and by the way...remember the Goldstone Report...that model of mendacity? The OIC initiated it!

So, with a nation as vulnerable as we have become since January 20, 2009...and the constant genuflecting to the Muslim world, as the current president has performed in the past year...one should be alarmed that we are sending a dubious representative to a pro-jihadist conference.

Alarmed, that is, if we want America to remain the 'land of the free and home of the brave'...

February 22, 2010

Intellects (and their liberal lapdogs) just love narratives. And the most spurious narrative ever spun by this wretched gaggle is the following: Israel is a refractory when it comes to the issue of land for peace.

Truth be told: The Jewish State not only gave back Gaza--but also gave back the Sinai Peninsula (a vast parcel of land dotted with advanced settlements, military installations and highly productive oil fields developed by Israel) to Egypt. And let us not forget the Camp David Accords where Israel agreed to total autonomy for the West Bank.

The most substantive issue to remember (about the above mentioned territories) is that they were procured legally by Israel via victories on the battlefield. Thus, it had no legal obligation to return any of this land to the defeated.

February 19, 2010

In the midst of all the liberal hyperventilating over abrogating "Don't ask, Don't tell"--let us remember one crucial fact: No one has a legal right to serve in the US military. Truth is, the military discriminates on a regular basis against those that are too fat, stupid, slow etc. in order to maintain proper combat readiness.

So, it only stands to reason that (in order to maintain such readiness) our Armed Forces would also discriminate against any and all individuals who readily engage in aberrant, dangerous and immoral sexual behavior.

Discrimination: What a wonderful thing!

February 18, 2010

Joe Biden's recent claim--that Iraq will go down as one of the great achievements of the Obama Administration--teeters on the very edge of total (not to mention unbridled) insanity. Lest we forget, then Senator Obama not only voted against the very military operation that gave us victory in Mesopotamia (the Surge)--but also stridently claimed that it would escalate sectarian violence.

Truth be told--on one of the most critically important issue of our time (the Surge): Barack Hussein Obama was dead wrong.

Apparently, when Mr. Biden was having his hair plugs installed--they drilled to deep!

February 16, 2010

"What is most abhorrent about the Obama administration (concerning its Middle East policy) is that it views the maniacal, despotic and tyrannical nations of the region (including Gaza and the West Bank) as co-equals with Israel. By doing this, of course--the administration is totally ignoring the fact that Israel is a thriving and tolerant democracy--while the others are nothing more than cesspools of venality, poverty and Islamo-subjugation."
----Burgess Redding

February 15, 2010

As we continue to convulse over President Obama's genuflections and apologies to Tehran, let us never forget just how murderous the Persian regime truly is. Not only has it killed scores of innocent Israelis (via its proxies Hamas and Hezbollah)--but it is also responsible for the slaughter of 241 US Marines in Beirut 27 years ago.

Furthermore, Iranian-made roadside bombs have crippled, maimed or killed thousands of our troops in both Iraq and Afghanistan (a fact that has been confirmed by our top military commanders). In short, the Islamo-autocratic empire has been killing our soldiers for decades.

So, while our commander-in-chief bows at the altar of maniacal mullahs (and their badly dressed puppet Ahmadinejad) the blood of innocents continues to flow with undiminished horror.

Actionable Intelligence

February 12, 2010

"Security chief John Brennan's comment that there is little difference between military and civilian custody underscores the shear and utter vacuity of the Obama Administration's approach to the War on Terror. Perhaps Mr. Brennan wasn't aware that Gitmo detainees are not entitled to legal counsel, thus preventing them from lawyering up. And (for this very reason) Gitmo has been a wellspring of actionable intelligence that has helped foil myriad terror plots."
---From the National Security Desk at OBI

Proverbs 22:6 says, "Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it." A solid principle that can be used for good...OR for evil....

Terrorist crud got this a long time ago. Taint the kids while they're young. Carefully saturate their minds with hatred...and you will have killer-bots for life, however short that life may be...

Organizing for America (OFA), formerly Obama for America, is up to no good in our public schools. They have been busy handing out Internships in organizing. Something Obama's idol, Saul Alinsky, would have been plotzing (exploding from excitement) about.

In Alinsky's book, Rules for Radicals, he focused on the 1960s generation of radicals, drafting his views on organizing for mass power. The Obama weekly internship curriculum is Alinsky paraphrased and can be seen here.

This is Obama's model. And he knows, as Alinsky did...that you need to train the children well and early. Funny thing is...Jihadists see it the same way.

In the Islamic world, children as young as 3 years of age are indoctrinated with the hateful ideology that Islam offers. Their curriculum is not concerned with the future and potential of these children, but rather with accomplishing their vicious agenda toward Jews...and the rest of the infidel world.

If you're thinking that the Obama-Terrorist analogy is off...I beg to differ. Obama's socialist agenda is a cruel enslavement of the people, an interminable lingering death of the individual. Jihadists instruct to achieve a quick terrorizing death of the individual...and as the Muslim world indoctrinates to achieve their goals, so does O and his ilk. (And neither is willing to live under what they require the children to. So there's hypocrisy to boot...).

The brainwashing by both of these entities results in the death of the individual...and therefore, the cessation of liberty. Is THIS what we dreamed for our posterity?

"In order for Republicans to be successful in the coming midterm elections, they must coalesce around the unshakable maxim that small government, lower taxes and a strong and vigorous national defense is the only viable way to govern. And that all other forms (such as Obamanomics) have proven to be hyper-injurious to our nation's financial (not to mention) moral fabric." ---Prof. C'mon Sense

Residents of Haifa, Israel have had enough. I'm not referring to the daily attempts by Jihadists to enter Israeli civilian areas with the desire to destroy. But rather a plague of evil upon the weakest in a population: The children.

Haifa residents protested and called on authorities to evict two convicted pedophiles from a local hostel, maintaining the pair posed a threat to the neighborhood's children. The brothers, Shlomi and Oren Korido, had formerly been sent to jail for child sex offenses and currently reside in a small residence in the hostel's courtyard, which is located near a kindergarten and playground.

The Haifa inhabitants want the perverted pair evicted. Sounds reasonable if they were jihadists...but these villains are predators. Their prey? Innocent children. Little boys, in particular.

The police Chief, Ahuva Tomer, though alerted by the neighbors, say their hands are tied because the two served their time. But we are not talking about petty larceny...we are referring to an incurable mental illness that leaves the most vulnerable in our society, as the walking dead.

Well, are the brothers showing any leanings toward repentance and reform? Um, not exactly...according to Tomer, "Two weeks ago a local couple told police that their son was given 600 shekels ($160). When they asked him where he got the money, he said the pedophile brothers gave it to him when he introduced himself to them. They let him play with their dogs and gave him the money. This is how they are laying the groundwork for the next attacks." But apparently, this is not enough to bar these perps from their preferred prey.

Personally, I say the Haifa neighbors are much too kind. Eviction? Nah...let's think more in the vein of extinction. I have a zero policy on child predators: One strike and you're out. Not out of the neighborhood or out of the state, or out of the country or out of this world.

The sentence that they have inflicted upon the most precious and vulnerable in our society, is far worse than the ending of a life. It is a death lived interminably.

So, to my brethren in Haifa...don't give them a boot in the tukis, but rather, change your sentencing guidelines and start your own Boot Hill!

February 8, 2010

We have been told (ad nauseam) that President Obama is the smartest guy in the room. His acolytes and adherents have touted him as the most brilliant and erudite man to ever grace the Oval Office.

What a load of liberal manure!

Is it a sign of a brilliance and erudition to declare (while our nation is enmeshed in two very intense and fragile wars) that homosexuals be allowed to serve openly in the Armed Forces? After all (according to most respected military experts)--this brand of social experimentation will only serve to erode unit cohesion, deployment readiness, as well as one our nation's most vital assets--troop morale.

President Obama (by making such a imprudent declaration)--not only confirms his utter lack of seriousness when it comes to fighting the War on Terror--but also confirms what we have long suspected: That he is the stupidest guy in the room.

Unthinkable

February 5, 2010

"I find it unthinkable that President Obama simply fails to understand that his economic policies (ObamaCare, cap and trade, tax hikes, government takeovers, etc.) are the evil forces lurking behind the current unemployment catastrophe. Due to the excessively onerous anti-market nature of these strategies, small business owners are understandably disinclined to hire, or expand their operations." ---Prof. C'mon Sense

There is much that the Romans have brought to culture over the centuries. From Roman Numerals to being master builders of roads, bridges and aqueducts such as Ponte Milvio, the Temple of Vesta, the Pantheon, the Colosseum, the Theater of Pompey, Pont du Gard and the Catacombs...to Latin and the Twelve Tables. The list is almost interminable.

But it appears that the tide of brilliance that once overflowed the banks of Rome...has now receded. A beacon of the West, that once enriched society with constructive contributions, is now aimed in a direction that will surely aid in the West's eradication.

How you may ask? By making an alliance with a culture steeped in the Dark Ages. One obsessed with hatred and seething with the desire to murder those who they perceive to be evil...according to their gutter religion.

Italy had intertwined itself in an economic relationship with the former Persian empire. There's a list of about 1,000 Italian companies active in Iran, including those aiding the regime by equipping it's military and being a contributor to Iran's satellite...and possibly even their nuclear weapons program. And Iran's fatalistic lot of maniacal Mullahs are giddy as little girls to do business with infidels in order reach to their ultimate goal of: Destroying the infidels.

So that would make the Italian infidels...um, as we say in NY...chooches (morons). But pernicious chooches, at that...

Italy's, more specifically Rome's, myopic view is precisely what has already endangered their survival...not to mention the rest of the West. Short-term and immediate gratification always ends up--due to a lack of wisdom--coming back to bite one in the 'culo' (I think you get this one)...

Is President Obama serious about prosecuting the War on Terror? Well, putting aside the manifestly spineless decisions to close Gitmo and Mirandize Islamo-cretins--the very fact that (during the State of the Union address) he only devoted 89 out of 7,000 words to the global conflict is explicit proof that our commander in chief continues his trivialization of the issue.

No wonder a vast majority of Americans (who in recent polls clearly indicated that after the economy, terrorism was their next major concern) have expressed their growing angst over the way Obama is handling the war.

Truth be told, President Obama's hyper-fixation over passing nationalized health care is a clear (not to mention chilling) indication that he'd rather spend his political capitol on pushing socialism than fighting Islamo-terrorism.

It's time to revisit a piece of printed drek (feces) I have covered twice before. The reason for the repeat trip? A recent report, The Case Against The Goldstone Report: A Study In Evidentiary Bias by Alan Dershowitz.

I will again admit, Mr. Dershowitz has not been one of my favorite people on several issues in the past. But on the issue of Israel...he is spot on...

Concerning the putrid Goldstone report, Dershowitz has concluded: "The Goldstone report is, to any fair reader, a shoddy piece of work, unworthy of serious consideration by people of good will, committed to the truth," he continues that the Goldstone Report "is worse than any report previously prepared by any other United Nations agency or human rights group. As Maj.-Gen. Avichai Mandelblit, the advocate general of the Israeli Defense Forces, aptly put it: 'I have read every report, from Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, the Arab League. We ourselves set up investigations into 140 complaints. It is when you read these other reports and complaints that you realize how truly vicious the Goldstone report is. He made it look like we set out to go after the economic infrastructure and civilians, that it was intentional: It’s a vicious lie.'"

Indeed veracious...but he goes one step further...Dershowitz knows Goldstone personally, having been friends with him and taught with him at Harvard, and he calls Goldstone "a truly evil man....he lent his Jewish name and Jewish identity to malign Israel."

And evidenced by just a bit of Goldstone's report, as I have written in the past... the report is evil, as well.

-Claimed Israel Defense Forces (IDF) targeted civilians, under the guise of defensive actions.

-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.

-In a video, by PalestinianMediaWatch, Hamas terrorists admit to the use of human shields.

-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.)

The list of those who loathe the Jewish State grows day-by-day. They search diligently for ways to undermine and destroy Israel...and the Jewish people, if possible. It becomes extremely disturbing when a false Zionist, like Richard Goldstone, decides to betray his heritage by ripping his kinsmen and throwing their bloody carcasses to the shark-infested waters of anti-Semitism.

For this, and this alone...Goldstone should be barred, like a terrorist...from ever entering the Holy Land again.

February 1, 2010

President Barack Obama's position (that the American people just simply failed to understand his policies) is the very pinnacle of condescension and arrogance. After delivering 411 speeches in the first year of his presidency, the citizenry not only understood them--but profoundly (not to mention vociferously) rejected them.

Obama's left-wing radicalism was strikingly demonstrable. The confluence of health care, cap and trade, profligate spending and Mirandizing terrorists was enough to motive the masses to break out the pitchforks and torches and revolt against the liberal Leviathan.

Memo to President Obama: We the people understood your policies--and that's exactly why we rejected them.

A friend. A term that gets tossed around quite a bit. But the most appropriate synonyms for the term are: comrade, chum, crony, confidant and advocate.

Axiomatic terms, that is...unless you happen to be Barack 'Barry' Obama friend...

From the campaign trail to the Oval office, Mr. Obama has left a trail of road kill, formerly known as 'friends'. Here's a partial list of the multitude of casualties Barry is culpable for:

More recently, and since he has been in office, on behalf of America--but certainly NOT with the agreement of the citizens--Barry flipped the bird to our friends and fellow democracies of Poland and the Czech Republic, when HE went back on OUR word concerning missile defense systems....plunge, now twist...

But his biggest target has been our faithful friends, and the ONLY democracy in the Middle East: The tiny State of Israel.

From his alliance with a 'church' and reverend who honored Hamas, to Jew-hating Loopy Louie Farrakhan who said of Obama, "When the Messiah speaks, the youth will hear, and the Messiah is absolutely speaking," to his dissing of Israeli PM Bibi, when he came to town last year...all the way to demands that Israel cease building Jewish homes on Jewish land, and surrender Jerusalem as the capital of a 'Palestinian' state.

This is not friendship, but fiendship. Something, the smiling dandy seems to be well acquainted with...ostensibly from a plethora of practice.

And if he keeps this up...the only change that will occur is allies and friends that mistrust us, as much as our enemies do.

Operation Iron Balls is of the uncompromising belief that the abrogation of enhanced interrogations (which indisputably produced lifesaving information) was an act of pure evil. Thus, any and all individuals responsible for such nefariousness have the blood of innocents on their hands.

Blood, by the way--that cannot be washed away.

Barack Hussein Obama's imminent plunge into the crapper of feckless presidents (think Jimmy Carter) will be greatly accelerated if (G-d forbid) New York City suffers a terrorist attack during the KSM trial. If the Big Apple is hit--in a violent and dramatic attempt by al Qaeda to free the terror kingpin--Obama will indeed become the most inept (not to mention reviled) leader in US history.

And then all that will be left to do is flush.

Many of us are familiar with the film Freaky Friday...a mom and daughter, through surreal circumstances, switch bodies...well, before our very eyes, we are seeing a Freaky Friday occur between France...and America...

At one time, America...among other virtues...was known for it's common sense. We knew the difference between right and wrong, good and evil...and we stood on the side of what was right and what was good. But a creeping cowardice made it's way into the recesses of our government and was made manifest with the advent of the 9/11 terror attacks.

And since then, we have become more and more craven in our attempt to avoid 'offending' anyone of the Muslim faith...and avoid being viewed by the gutless EU as mean and unfair. We give Muslim terrorists Miranda Rights, install foot baths in airports for Muslim cabbies and designate prayer rooms for Muslim students in public schools...ad infinitum...

Now, a country who has been known for it's weakness in the past (i.e. WWII) has now found the spine, we have lost. A conversation begun by French President Sarkozy in June of 2009, in which he told both houses of parliament that veils were "not welcome" in France...that the full veil was "contrary to our values and to the ideals we have of women's dignity" (hey...shouldn't that be heard on every street corner in America?), has now moved forward to a French MPs call for a ban on Afghan-style burqas and other garments that cover a woman's face. AND it has popular support! An opinion poll by Ipsos for the magazine Le Point revealed that 57% of French voters favor a ban. Did you get that? 57% of the French say NO to veils...

The country we were so enamored to imitate...with their brie and broadmindedness...has gained common sense, just as ours took flight...

Perhaps we'll get it as things come back around...that is, of course, if we're still here to 'get it'.

So, before the race-baiters, racial-demagogues and other assorted leftist nut-jobs (think the Congressional Black Caucus) start spewing their poison--let us remember one thing: President Obama is being stridently rejected, by a vast majority of the citizenry, because of his liberal policies--not because of the color of his skin.

It's all about substance--not skin hue.

It's astonishing how liberals enthusiastically applaud the deployment (for humanitarian reasons) of US Marines--such as the one in earthquake ravaged Haiti--but exhibit utter disdain and hostility when they are deployed to kill Islamic terrorists.

Liberals: A truly twisted species!

Here's a Holocaust historian that can give you Di Nit Fardayung (indigestion)...

Earlier this month, Wolfgang Benz ( who is the director of the Center for Anti-Semitism Research at the Technical University of Berlin) published an article in the Süddeutsche Zeitung equating Jew-hatred with Islamophobia. His critics see Benz as disregarding anti-Semitism in the Islamic world and inside the EU, at a time of increasing abhorrence of Jews and Israel.

Julius H. Schoeps, a German Jewish historian who heads the Moses Mendelssohn Center in Potsdam, is at odds with Benz...and understandably so. Schoeps considers Benz's comments "unfounded, dubious, if not even dangerous...anti-Semitism is thriving, from Ahmadinejad's constant tirades to the Turkish blockbuster Valley of the Wolves (TV series that portrays Mossad agents as baby-snatchers), preferably with a radical Islamic faith, but that is not a topic for the Süddeutsche newspaper."

A columnist for Der Spiegel, Reinhard Mohr, agrees...Mohr wrote a piece in Der Spiegel titled, "Debate about Islamophobia," in which he criticized Benz and his ilk, as failing to defend Western values and instead called the critics of Islam fundamentalists and "preachers of hate."

"Preachers of hate?" Amazing...they must have spiked the 'useful idiots' Kool-Aid...

Now, it's not as if we were unaware of the undercurrent of anti-Semitism that has remained in the Fatherland since Adolph went to his reward...but it casts aspersions upon Germany at large...despite the fact that German Chancellor Angela Merkel has made a tremendous effort to reach out to the Jewish State.

At a time when the tide of world opinion is erroneously moving against the State of Israel, it's tragic that out of the country that was responsible for the death of more that 6 million Jews...the voice of academia in Berlin, continues Nazi spewage.

"Prosecuting three Navy SEALs (for issuing a hyper-violent, Islamic terrorist a fat lip) is, without question--a despicable, if not treasonous course of action. Unfortunately, this is endemic of an administration that toils endlessly to make sure enemy combatants are afforded constitutional rights--while treating our heroes like fecal matter." ---Burgess Redding---

It all started with Jimmy 'Dhimmi' Carter...and has been maintained by the presidents succeeding him...to broker peace between Israel and her Arab 'neighbors', by pressuring Israel to give up her land in exchange for peace. A formula that has proven disastrous for the tiny Jewish State.

And yet, it continues...but this time, the pressure has been taken up a notch...

The Obama administration, through its envoy (and prominent Arab-American) George Mitchell...are now employing the threat of withholding loan guarantees to Israel and intensifying the demands on Israel to hasten the calendar of concessions, to exclude the Jordan Valley from Israel's map of defensible borders, to release more Palestinian terrorists, to make more concessions to Mahmoud Abbas, and to refrain from construction even in Jerusalem.

The pressure has been ratcheted up by none other than Obama's attack dog, the self-hating Jew, Rahm Emanuel. Who recently puffed up his weenie chest when Israel showed a rare bit of weakness in June and September of 2009. Liberals, not unlike jihadists, look for weakness to compromise upon. But O and his ilk are only as powerful as you make them...

In 1992, then Senator George Mitchell said: "Doesn't Israel know that the US is not a monarchy, that the president is not omnipotent and that the Legislature is equal in power to the Executive?!"

He was correct...our government is 'we the people' and the majority of the American people are with Israel...and so are their representatives. It bodes better for Israel to appeal to the people, and not to the Palterer-In-Chief and his legion. Perhaps further proof of that will be evident in this November's election.

But in the meanwhile, according to Merriam-Webster, extortion is defined as: the crime of obtaining money or some other thing of value by the abuse of one's office or authority.

'We the people' can no longer dither but must put a stop to this obscene behavior by the president, and his minions. This is no way for America to be represented in the world. This is no way to treat our friends.

Despite what the president's sycophants, toadies and spin-doctors are saying about tomorrow's special election in Massachusetts: it is clearly a referendum on their savior's socialistic agenda. Truth is--if this most sacrosanct of Democrat thrones (Ted Kennedy's senate seat) is swiped by the Republicans--Obama will certainly be a one term blunder.

Thank G-d!

If the GOP is victorious--it will lend the final surge to an already intense and rising grassroots tsunami that will wash away the haughty king in 2012 and restore the land to its rightful owner: we the people.

A wave of hope and change is on the way.

Once again America's grit, determination, selflessness and (above all) unyielding magnanimity will be on display for all the world to see as it leads the humanitarian effort in earthquake ravaged Haiti.

And, as usual--such a Herculean effort will do little to assuage the maniacal and slaughterous tyrants of the world who cling to their acerbic death-to-American dogma.

Well, there's only one thing to say about that: to hell with the bastards!

Question: How many times does Israeli PM 'Bibi' Netanyahu have to say No, before he is heard?

This past Tuesday, Bibi again had to say, unequivocally, NO to inequitable Arab demands upon his tiny nation. The PM stated that Israel would never surrender any part of Jerusalem to the 'Palestinians', nor would it return to the pre-1967 borders. He was compelled to respond to statements made by Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit, in which he informed various Mediterranean foreign ministers that the Israeli PM had eased his positions.

Interesting...the Arabs are somewhat like liberals...when confronted with truth, they only hear what they want to hear...which never amounts to truth...

Allow me to restate what Bibi has said, on many occasions...just in case it needs reiteration:

So, to Ahmed, Mahmoud and their ignominious ilk...the answer to all your questions and demands is: No, No, No, and No...how does that grab you?

Well, in the words of that great philosopher, Mick Jagger, "You can't always get what you want."

"Any president who feverishly advocates the closing of Gitmo--an irrefutable font of information that has been highly instrumental in thwarting cataclysmic terror plots is--not mentally fit to be Commander in Chief."

The Iranian government are busy little bees...for those nuclear ambitions take an awful lot of work. But that's not all those little Persian devils are up to...they want to accomplish something more lucrative first...

Ahmadinejad has ordered the assembly of a team to study the damages Iran suffered from the 1941 Allied invasion in order to demand reimbursement. Iran claims they suffered enormously after it was invaded by Britain and the Soviets during WW II, despite its stated neutrality...and they were never remunerated.

No, my tongue is NOT in my cheek...this is legit. And if you hear a cackle, that's me laughing all the way over here in NYC...

This is too idiotic to take seriously. Iran also intends to seek remuneration for the destruction it suffered during WW I, the West's support for the previous Pahlavi Dynasty and its resentment towards Iran since the 1979 Islamic revolution.

Nice try, Mahmoud...but we know what your venal digits are doing...and they're not on a calculator, but a button...attached to a mushroom (and you don't need 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds' to see that one).

President Obama's recent bravado "...we will do whatever it takes to defeat them [al Qaeda]” is a total--not to mention blatant fabrication. Why? Because our commander in chief is still psychotically fixated on appeasing the global Islamic community. And the provable evidence to support this claim can be seen in his inept decision to not only close Gitmo--but to also bring 9/11 mastermind KSM to New York City for a show trial.

These acts of feckless appeasement are designed to present a softer and more conciliatory America to Muslims worldwide. But the chilling reality is--al Qaeda (and those that espouse bin Ladenism) not only views this as a sign of profound weakness--but also as a glaring lack of resolve.

And in the end--America will once again be seen as a paper tiger.

Mr. President: All the bravado in the world will never cover-up the tangible (not to mention troublesome) fact that you'd rather kiss a terrorist's tukis than blow it up.

And (unfortunately for us) al Qaeda knows it!

What seems to have gone unnoticed by the major media is the following: President Obama's endless overtures to the Islamic World have failed! From his YouTube suck-up to the Iranian regime to his apology laced speech in front of the Turkish Parliament to announcing the closing of Gitmo to moving KSM's trial to New York City--jihadist are still on a slay-the-infidel quest.

In fact, December of 2009 was the bloodiest month for US troops since the war in Afghanistan started. Furthermore, over 1/3 of all terrorist attacks--committed by Islamic jihadists worldwide since 9/11--have occurred on Obama's watch.

Apparently, sucking-up to the Islamic World has done nothing to change an ancient and clearly barbaric religion that compels its followers to kill, kill, kill!!!

Iran has a New Year's gift for their 'friends' in the West. No, it's not a basket of winter fruit, or even Champagne...but it kind of works well with their ultimatum about our interference with their nuclear program: They're wagging their finger at us...

Iran's government-funded TV reported that Tehran will hold a "large-scale military exercise" in February in order to prep its forces to deter an offensive by the country's enemies (that would be the West).

Nice job of intimidation, Barry...Ahmadinejad is shaking in his weenie boots, now isn't he...

The empty threats and interminable deadlines, by O and his feckless ilk, have emboldened the grotesque little Persian troll...as well as the cross-dressing clerics...into flipping us the bird (and it ain't the bird of paradise).

Iran's rationale for this: The US and Israel won't take military action off the table...wah, wah, wah...

No poop Poirot...and why the heck would we? That regime should have been toppled long ago. They are a menace far more pernicious than the Nazis for one distinct reason: A mushroom cloud.

So, Barry...if you're going to continue to bow, do it at the doctor's office...it's time that you, rather than the American people, got the finger.

The first issue concerning airline safety should be the following: Flying with an American carrier is a privilege--not a right. Therefore--any individual who hails from a country that sponsors Islamic terrorism (Iran, Saudi Arabia, Syria, etc.), or even appears on the government's Watch List--should automatically lose this privilege.

The implementation of such a regulation would greatly reduce the probability of an airliner being blown to bits over a major US city. But, unfortunately, the first hurdle to get over (concerning even a debate over the above-mentioned pragmatism) is Political Correctness.

Good luck!

Lots of talk about Yemen lately, huh? The media is purporting that Yemen is suddenly turning into a terrorist 'hotbed'.

But is it really a suddenly situation? Well, here's a few facts about Yemen that reveals an opposing view:

1. Yemen is a Muslim country consisting of both Shia and Sunni Muslims. Less than 1% of the population is Christian, Jewish or other...and live as Dhimmis (second-class citizens).

2. Yemen shares a very porous border with Saudi Arabia (home and global financial supporters of Wahhabism, the most virulent form of Islam).

3. Yemeni President Saleh is the Duke-of-Duplicity, taking US money under the guise of fighting al Qaeda, while hanging with the al Qaeda crew.

5. Gitmo terrorist detainees from Yemen have been released back to their country, whose government has 'misplaced' them. And many return to the battlefield to kill our troops.

Oh, and here's one more tidbit...just last year (2009), the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), gave Yemen $153 million dollars. And what was that for, exactly? Apparently it is an agency for foreign economic assistance. The Yemeni population is 45.2% below the poverty line, YET al Qaeda is thriving there.

Is this in reality a payoff of some sort? Similar to the $800 million given to the PA (Gaza), the $516 million given to Jordan, the $468 million given to the Sudan, the $435 million given to Egypt, and the $177 million given to Indonesia...all in 2009?

A sort of protection money so the Islamists, with the approval of their governments, won't whack us?

If this is true, them Saleh is a Don...taking hard-earned US tax dollars with the understanding that he'll give us the scoop on al Qaeda's activities, and they won't attack us...but instead is turning a blind eye to their activities.

President Barack Obama's decision (due to al Qaeda threats) to close the US embassy in Yemen is yet another victory for the Wahhabi terror organization. An organization that already views Obama as a weak (if not pusillanimous) commander in chief.

From stridently condemning waterboarding to announcing the closing of Gitmo to moving KSM's trial to New York City--Obama has demonstrated (to those who zealously plot our destruction) that he is far more interested in world opinion than fighting a war on terror.

Tragically, President Obama's feckless decisions are based on the absurd notion that a kinder and gentler America will bring the entire world (including al Qaeda) to a kumbaya moment.

Unfortunately for America--this notion will prove fatal.
