AMERICA - THREATS AND IMAGINENED THREATS

This entry may not be popular in my Conservative circles, but the truth is, this is how I feel about some of these "threats".

Iran and Iraq

OK, I believe that Iran and Iraq is a threat to us and to Israel. As a Christian I believe that we need to stand up for Israel. This threat is a threat and would be a threat regardless of what we do or don't do.

You know? Hindsight is 20/20. I mean the liberals are correct when they say that we armed them and it is our fault that they now have the bombs that they do. I also agree that we should NEVER have given them their weapons.

Knowing how they hate Israel we were wrong to arm any of them in order to have a go at eachother. It is none of our business if they wish to war against themselves. We should have stayed out of it.

The truth of the matter is unless they are a threat to us or Israel, it behooves us to just stay out of it. It doesn't make any logical sense to give any weapons to enemies of Israel or to any religous zealots who are going to use their faith to attack and murder innocents because of faith. This simply puts us in the firing zone.

But as I said hindsight is 20/20 and there is nothing we can do about it now. Because we made this bed and they hate us for it, we have a worse problem than we have to begin with.

That being said, it is too late to go back and changed things and the question is what do we do now??

Do we stay the course? Or cut and run?

Neither!!! We change the course and do what is needed to get this over with. We need to bring in more troops and end this war!! It is obvious that what we are doing now is not working and I agree that we can not just cut and run because that would put us in a dangerous position. We also have to get the Iraqi's involved more!! Let them help protect themselves. I mean if we didn't have our weapons in the Revolution, we never would have been able to win.

Besides....What is it with the US and our inability to protect boarders?? We aren't protecting our boarder at home and we are not protecting the Iraqi boarders!!!

Come on people!!! Get on the ball!!





N. Korea

Who cares????? I don't!! I know that this sounds bad, but the truth is it is NONE OF OUR BUSINESS!! I mean, up until they use the weapons against anyone, it is none of our business and not our problem.

When did it become our responsiblity to police and protect other countries who are capable of protecting themselves? But then again, I never agreed with rebuilding Japan after WWII. Money that should have been used for our own people went to rebuilding a country who ATTACKED us. What kind pf presedent that that set?? Come and attack us and after we defeat you we will take money away from starving Americans to rebuild you?? This to me is asanine in my opinion.

If Japan, South Korea, or China do not wish to take care of their own backyard, then they will be the ones to pay for their own decisions.

China is more worried about refugees coming into their country than they are in protecting themselves. Besides, after they murdered all of those students in Tiananmen Square, I have no sympathy for them.

Until they become a threat to us or Israel, we should stay out of it!!

So while the left and the right want to go around in circles argueing "whose fault it is", I ask why should we be involved in the first place??

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When we went to war against England for our freedom, we had help that is true. But the French did not get involved until after the war had already started and it was almost over. We took the initiative(SP) and even though we were outnumbered and outclassed, our freedom meant enough to us to put our lives on the line.

If Iraq, Iran, Japan, S Korea, China, or any other country are not willing to do this for themselves, then why should we do it for them?? If they aren't willing to put their lives on the line, then why should we put our men and women lives on the line for them.

I have no problem helping other countries when we are asked, but I do NOT believe that we should do so if they aren't willing to take the initiative themselves!!

Neo-Cons

Neo-Conservatives

neo–
pref.
New; recent: Neolithic.

New and different: neoimpressionism.
New and abnormal: neoplasm.
New World: Neotropical.
[Greek, from neos, new.]

New-Conservatives.

This means that our values and traditions are new. Hogwash!! This coming from people who call themselves "progressives."

This is pure leftwing propaganda!! We still hold on to the same values, morals, traditions, and beliefs that we have always held. It is the left who have changed. It would be more accurate to say that they are Neo-Liberals and to call the Conservatives Traditionalist.

God was written into the Constitution, we as Conservatives still want God involved in our country, while neo-libs would rather force others to worship in their houses and churches only!!

The Constitutions actually says:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amendment I - Freedom of Religion, Press, Expression. Ratified 12/15/1791.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are those who wish it to mean:

In my opinion, the single most important part of the Constitution. Some of the first colonists of the nation for which the Constitution was written had been seeking to escape religious persecution. The constitutions of several of the states prohibited public support of religion. And above all, the many varying sects of Christianity in America required that to be fair to all, there could be preference to none. It would have been disgraceful for anyone to wish to leave the United States because of religious persecution. So they decided it best to keep the government out of religion. Now, this is not to say that the United States was not or is not a religious one. Religion plays a big role in the everyday life of Americans, then and now. But what they were striving for is tolerance... something I fear contemporary Americans are lacking

.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I agree with this "opinion" as far as tolerance of other religions and the right for others to worship as they see fit as long as it harms NO ONE!!

Now as far as keeping religion OUT of government.....

This is patently false. Lets not forget that God is in the Constitution as well as our Declaration of Independance, the Pledge of Allegience, and throughout the writings of our Founding Fathers.

Instead, it says that the Government should stay OUT of religion. That as Christians we have the right to express our faith ANYWHERE and EVERYWHERE we wish.

------------------------------------------
prohibiting the free exercise thereof;
------------------------------------------

Just as I believe in the Literal Interpetation of the Bible, I also believe in the Literal Interpetation of the Constitution. I says what it means and means what it says. To add to or to take away words in order for it to fit their interpetation of what it "should" mean or say, is an out and out violation of the Constitution.

This is what the neo-libs wish to do. While us conservatives have NOT changed our stance on this issue or any of the other issues.


Now if tolerance means that we should take the right to vote on issues such as Homosexual Marriage, Abortion, Taxes, or Illegal Immigration; then YES I am intolerant of those who wish to allow the Government to take our basic rights away.

We have not changed our stance on these issues, but rather the new-libs have!!

I can not nor will I compromise my faith in the name of tolerance nor will I EVER vote against what I believe is moral or right.

I am so tired of the left trying to push their morals and values on the Country.

Lets talk about intolerance a little more.

1. Telling us that we are should not be allowed to vote on the basis of religion or that those who are running for office should not be allowed to voice their faith is INTOLERANCE towards Christians.

2. Not allowing Christians to pray or meet before or after schoold is intolerance.

3. The teaching of the qur'an in public schools is OK, but don't you dare speak about the bible is intolerance.


Teaching the quran in American Schools

More hypocricy of the left. They fight for this while at the same time fight to keep the bible out of the schools. If it is "illegal" to teach Christianity in schools, then it should be the same for teaching islam in schools!!

4. Where we are called Nazi's and Racist because we protect ourselves and Israel from the religious intolerance of the muslim states. This is another example of religious Intolerance from the left.

Let me set the record straight. I am not intolerant of the muslim religion or any other religion or path for that matter. I am however intolerant of ANY religion that uses their 'holy book' out context in order to kill and persecute other's because of a different faith.

I am also intolerant of ANYONE who wishes to dictate to me when I can or can not vote on the basis of my faith.

Hyprocricy and Iran

Listening to the president of Iran I noticed that his words said one thing today, while his words have said something completely different.

Today he was talking about peace within ALL nations. HUH?? This does not jive with his assertion that Isreal should not be allowed to exist.

At a conference in Tehran on Wednesday entitled “The World without Zionism,” President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called for Israel to be “wiped off the map.” “The establishment of the Zionist regime was a move by the world oppressor against the Islamic world,” he added. He also denounced moves by some Arab states to recognize Israel or normalize relations with it.

Interesting how a statement that "Israel should be wiped off the map" is being made to sound like only the " to the need to wipe out all Zionist ways of thought" and "the United States and other Western countries are actually trying to raise a brouhaha over a single statement by an Iranian official so they can divert attention from the ever-increasing crimes the Zionists are committing against the innocent Palestinians."

Source

Excuse me?? I am dumbfounded at how stupid people must be to believe any of this garbage.

1. He did not say the thinking of Israel needs to be abolished, but rather that it needed to be "wiped off the map".

2. The so called crimes against the palestinian(sp) terrorist has always been in self-defense or reaction from their own citizen's being killed by these terrorist.

Here is a list of what has been said by him and other muslims:

Link

His speech today is just more proof of his hyprocricy and forked toungue.

What is scarey is that the majority of the world, including the far left, believe the white washing of the true intent. People are so quick to believe the propaganda that is being told to them, the the truth no longer matters.

We saw this in our own country during the last elections. Kerry was shown and proven to be a liar, 60 minutes lied to the American Public, and spoke with such a double toungue that he couldn't tell the same story during the debates. He would say one thing and in the next minute would say something completely different. No matter how many times the lies were proven to be false, people still believed the lies.

Just look at the tax cut debate. I was surprised at how many people stated as truth that the poor of America were paying the majority of the taxes. Ummm, the poor do not pay any taxes and not only that but those who made less that what? 20,000 dollars a year were given money back that they didn't even pay in?? It is called earned income. The only catch is that you must work to receive it.

The ones who are complaining the loudest and speading these lies at the rich. Not once have I heard any of them volunteering to give back any of their tax cuts. More lies and hyprocricy.

We need to smarten up and really pay attention to what is being said and to find out the truth ourselves as opposed to believeing every word that is being fed to us by the liberal media. It just make you look stupid and foolish if you don't.

Isreal and the Christian point of view.

I am undecided on whether or not this belongs here in the political blog or in A Midnight Star, it actually fits both places.

After reading all of the unchristian and anti-jewish sentiments by so called christians, I find that a little biblical knowlege is necessary. Before I begin, I must say that I find it disheartening and unlogical for those who call us Americans "nazi's" while at the same time wish to allow the terrorist to continue to kill more and more Jews over land that was given to the jews by God!!

Has every so called Christian forgotten that?? Or the promise that God gave to the Jews?

Numbers 6:
22 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
23 Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel: ye shall say unto them,
24 Jehovah bless thee, and keep thee:
25 Jehovah make his face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
26 Jehovah lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
27 So shall they put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.

Jesus came to give salvation to the Jews FIRST and us gentiles SECOND!!

Romans 1:
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

As Christians we are adopted Jews. The Jews are God's natural people, we are only adopted.

Gal 4:
5 that he might redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
6 And because ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
7 So that thou art no longer a bondservant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God.

Romans 11:
1 I say then, Did God cast off his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God did not cast off his people which he foreknew. Or know ye not what the scripture saith of Elijah? how he pleadeth with God against Israel:

Romans 9:
27 And Isaiah crieth concerning Israel, If the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, it is the remnant that shall be saved:
28 for the Lord will execute [his] word upon the earth, finishing it and cutting it short.
29 And, as Isaiah hath said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, We had become as Sodom, and had been made like unto Gomorrah.


The Isrealites and Jews are GODS own, as a Christian I do not see how anyone who calls themselves Christian can take any other side but Isreal's.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Now lets get on with who owns the land that they are fighting over.

This is land that was given to the Isrealites by God!! God Himself took the land away from Palestine and gave it to HIS PEOPLE!!

I do not understand why some christians do not realize this?? This fighting has been going on since....

God promised the land to Noah's son and then gave it to the Isrealites after they left Egypt.

Going against Isreal is going against God.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OK this is purely political.

How many times is Isreal suppose to dit back and allow terrorist to bomb them and their children before we think that they have the right to defend themselves??

This has been going on for years!! Isreal gets bombed by Hamas or even earlier by the terrorist organization PLO.

Lets see here where Hamas stands on Isreal:


Link

The principles of the Hamas are stated in their Covenant or Charter, given in full below. Following are highlights.

"Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it."

"The Islamic Resistance Movement believes that the land of Palestine is an Islamic Waqf consecrated for future Moslem generations until Judgement Day. It, or any part of it, should not be squandered: it, or any part of it, should not be given up. "

"There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors."

"After Palestine, the Zionists aspire to expand from the Nile to the Euphrates. When they will have digested the region they overtook, they will aspire to further expansion, and so on. Their plan is embodied in the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion", and their present conduct is the best proof of what we are saying."

Ami Isseroff

This is their plan, this is why we need to support Isreal.

As far as other nationalities getting hurt in the crossfire:

When you put yourselves in a position that goes against God and His people, then you get what you have coming to you!!


I also know that the US would never have been as patient and forgiving as Isreal has been over the last 20+ years. Since when it is not OK for God's people to defend themselves???

Jesus Is Not a Liberal Evangelical:
The Confusions and Distortions of Randall Balmer

In a famous review in a 1950 issue of the journal Mind, Sir Peter Medawar said of a book by Teilhard de Chardin, “its author can be excused of dishonesty only on the grounds that before deceiving others he has taken great pains to deceive himself.” Something similar could be said of Randall Balmer’s recent essay, “Jesus Is Not a Republican.” If Palmer is not being intentionally misleading and dishonest, it is only because he has first misled and deceived himself.



Article


Intersting article. I am tired of people going around and telling me that Jesus would be an American liberal. I find this to be asinine and ignorant.

Yes, on some issues I can see Jesus being for it, but NOT on others, especially the big issues.

Christians should NEVER stand for and Jesus isn't found in:

1. The murder of innocent babies.

2. Homosexual Marriage

3. Breaking the Laws. (Scripture tells us that we are to follow our laws, this includes immigration)

4. Taking Him out of politics

5. Evolution

6. The ACLU and their policies.

7. Globalization

8. The lies and secularism found in the Democratic Party. Yes, the Republicans have them to, but we do not make excuses for our liars as the Democratic Party has done for both Clintons, John Kerry, or any of the many others. We call a spade a spade.

Doesn't the fact that most of the World (secular and so-called liberal Christians) seem to jump on the bandwagon and the majority of the press is printing lies in favor of the liberal camp, tell you which side we are on??

If we love the World we hate God.

John 15:18-25
18 "If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you.

19 "If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you.

20 "Remember the word that I said to you, `A slave is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word, they will keep yours also.

21 "But all these things they will do to you for My name's sake, because they do not know the One who sent Me.

22 "If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin.

23 "He who hates Me hates My Father also.

24 "If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated Me and My Father as well.

25 "But they have done this to fulfill the word that is written in their Law, `THEY HATED ME WITHOUT A CAUSE.'

1 John 2:
15 Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world.

17 The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever.

(The World that He is speaking of is the "unbelievers" and "false Christians" of the World)

This does not mean that we should not love the people in the World, God forbid, we are to love all human beings. This means that we are not to hold on the ideas and beliefs that the World holds.

I think that the most dangerous words in the English dictionary are:

1. Globalize (your thinking)
2. Progressive (politics)
3. Worldview (ok probably two words, but you get my meaning)

None of these represent Christ. Not a one.

I am so tired of false Christians telling me that I must become progressive in my thinking and that I must Globalize my thoughts!!

NEVER!!!!!

All I have to do is see what the liberals want to happen. It takes globalization in order to set things up for the anti-christ. I am not for that whatsoever.

Have these false Christians ever stopped to think that maybe, just maybe, that this is what the devil is hopeing and waiting for??

Isn't it the walk away from traditional and biblical thinking that is going to bring in the anti-christ??

The anti christ isn't going to be able to take control until the World gets "global" and "progressive" in their thinking? Where is God in that??

I am also tired of being called a NAZI because of a stance that is backed up by scripture that breaking the law is not of God. The alternative that this false christian brought up was that instead of taking the illegal aliens back to mexico, we should allow them access to all Government agencies, but also not allow them to get a job.

Tell me how that makes sense?? It puts a hardship on tax payers who are already over taxed in order to support them with our government because we have blocked all access for them to feed their children.

That just sounds cruel!! And they call me a Nazi!!! What a hyprocritical stance!! To me the idea of having more people come over just so that they are not able to support their families, sure sounds more like the way the jews were treated than anything I have ever said.

That is racial and prejudice without any scripture to back it up as well as a very un-christlike attitude about things.

Small Government.

We as Americans should be able to vote and govern ourselves, as outlined in the Constitution.


This means that we have the right to vote on ALL issues including but not limited to:

1. Homosexual Marriage
1. Abortion
3. Illegal Immigration
4. Raising Taxes/Lowering Taxes
5. Changes to our Social Security
6. Health Care
7. How much involvement we will allow outside governments to influence us. For example; the very corrupt U.N.

Kerry and his liberal buddies actually wanted the U.N.,a corrupt system, to be able to judge our military persons. The very same military persons who risk their lives every day to protect us and the freedoms we enjoy here today. Just the ideal that we should turn these people over to a morally corrupt system is ludicrious and asanine.

I am also very weary of those who think that the right to vote on issues should be taken away from the people just because they disagree with the results. What a spoiled bunch of people!!!! I believe that we do not vote on enough issues.

The Constitution(sp) states that the citizens of our great country have the right to govern ourselves.

For the people, by the people!!

Mexico
MR. PRESIDENT, I'M HEADED TO MEXICO
David M. Bresnahan
April 1, 2006
NewsWithViews.com

Dear President Bush:

I'm about to plan a little trip with my family and extended family, and I would like to ask you to assist me. I'm going to walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico, and I need to make a few arrangements. I know you can help with this.

I plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws. I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here.

So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Vicente Fox, that I'm on my way over? Please let him know that I will be expecting the following:

1. Free medical care for my entire family.

2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not.

3. All government forms need to be printed in English.

4. I want my kids to be taught by English-speaking teachers.

5. Schools need to include classes on American culture and history.

6. I want my kids to see the American flag flying on the top of the flag pole at their school with the Mexican flag flying lower down.

7. Please plan to feed my kids at school for both breakfast and lunch.

8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services.

9. I do not plan to have any car insurance, and I won't make any effort to learn local traffic laws.

10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from Pres. Fox to leave me alone, please be sur that all police officers speak English.

11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my house top, put flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals.

12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, and don’t enforce any labor laws or tax laws.

13. Please tell all the people in the country to be extremely nice and never say a critical word about me, or about the strain I might place on the economy.

I know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all the people who come to the U.S. from Mexico. I am sure that Pres. Fox won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely.

However, if he gives you any trouble, just invite him to go quail hunting with your V.P.

Thank you so much for your kind help.


Sincerely,
David M. Bresnahan

Short List of What I Believe

1. Small Government. We as Americans should be able to vote and govern ourselves, as outlined in the Constitution.

2. I believe that the Constitution states that ALL Americans have the right to worship when, where, and however we like.

3. I believe in the freedom OF religion not the freedom FROM religion.

4. I do not believe in Amnesty for ANY lawbreakers, including but not limited to illegal aliens.

5. I believe that America should stay independent of the rest of the World. The UN does NOT have the right or authority to make our decisions for us.

6. I believe in the right and ability of the American Government to protect American citizen's.

7. I believe in securing our boarders from terrorist threats as well as illegal immigration any way possible. This includes, the guards and the building of the wall.

8. I believe in going after and fining companies that hire illegal immigrants.

9. I do not believe in American Companies moving their plants across the boarder, which is taking jobs away from Americans. (Outsourcing)

10. I belive that we should become independant on outside oil, which means that we need to drill in Alaska as well as alternative fuels.

11. I belive in giving citizens a leg up as opposed to keeping them in slavery and bondage to the welfare system.

12. I belive that only those that are in America legally have access to American programs, including but not limited to Public school, free lunches, and welfare.

13. I do not believe in the wet foot/ dry foot policy as brought about by Clinton.

14. I believe that we should take care of and make sure all of our fellow American's are fed and have decent housing before we give handouts to the World. We have to feed America's Children. What good is it to feed those in the World if our own are starving?? If we do not take care of our own, who will?? Nobody!! We are so busy worrying about the outside world, that we overlook our own backyard.

My Priorities in order are:

1. God
2. Family
3. State
4. Country
5. The rest of the World.

After God and my Family, America comes first. We did not fight a war of independence just to become slaves to outside governments.
