ObamaThe Glorious & Sensational Liar

President Obama was swept into office and the Democratic Party was given a majority in the U.S. Congress on a tidal wave of false promises and lies. Obama is no more or less than a Glorious and Sensational Liar. America's disenchantment over the War in Iraq, put the wrong people in office at the wrong time in history. The Obama Administration has no intention of saving Constitutional America.

The goal of the Obama Administration, the Democratic Party, the liberal left and their liberal socio-economic supporters is a Socialist America. President Obama is basically a socialist. Socialism contradicts "Free Enterprise" Capitalism. As America moves closer to socialism, the more America will decline. Socialism as a governing philosophy is stagnant because of the moral hazards socialism produces.

The overwhelming majority of Democrats are socialist and borderline communist. They are afflicted with the belief that they know better than you, and therefore, should control ever aspect of your life. Government is the tool by which they hope to accomplish their objective. Consequently, The Democratic Party, the liberal left and their socio-economic supporters have no choice but to lie to the American people and camouflage their lies with thin veneers of truth.

The vast majority of the voting public does not have enough political sophistication to separate lies from truth. In fact, the overwhelming majority prefers lies to truth and government checks to productive effort. Obama and the Democrats lied when they said they would continue America's fight against terrorism. They lied when they said they were ushering in an era of change. They lied when they said their so-called economic investment and recovery program was free of non-essential items.

America will pay a dear price for the hatred and disrespect the political left had for former President Bush. Naturally, the political left will not admit or own up to anything. Nature will exact her price independent of one's political belief, education, social status, perceived or real power, personal philosophy or ignorance of natural laws. These people are largely perverted with a warp and twisted sense of truth and reality. America will pay for its shortsightedness and unfounded fascination with their own selfish desires and aspirations.

Exposing the 700 Billion Dollar Bail Out Myth

Our gutless politicians and the "Barons of Greed" (Wall Street styled Banking and Investment Firms) need to tell the American people the truth and end the deception. This so-called 700 billion dollar bail out is just another gimmick.

In fact, it is the lastest political and economic gimmick the political and financial establishment have tossed our way. The American political and financial establishments have been feeding the American people a steady diet of lies for so many years, lies seem like the truth and the truth seem like lies.

The "Big Lie" #1 is the American economy is not in trouble. The American economy has been in trouble for years. The reason why it does not seem so dire is because fully two-thirds of this economy is based on consumer spending. When the American public stops shopping til they drop the economy heads downward.

For years the nation managed to survive because the rest of the world was still recovering from the financail devastation of World War II. Germany, France, England, Japan, China, Korea, Italy, the rest of Europe and the remaining nations that were impacted by European madnes have fully recovered. America's wars have largely kept the nation's economy humming over the past few years.

The "Big Lie" #2 is the global economy has been beneficial to this country. America has enjoyed a low birth rate for a number of years and so has Europe and England. This low birth rate gives our financial and political establishment the illusion that plenty of jobs are available stateside. This insane belief that the economy is growing enough to accomodate the increasing demand for employment has led many American companies to ship jobs and factories overseas. They believe the myth and lie this will make American products more competitive. Nothing is farther from the truth.

The "Big Lie" #3 is the fundamentals of the economy are strong. "Doggie Poop". The fundamentals of our economy have never been weaker. Our steadily weakening economy will eventually collapse the world's stock markets . The reason: America is the dumping ground for the world's gizmos, gadgets and illegal drugs. No other country on this planet has over 250 million thoroughly conditioned "limp-brained" consumers.

The "Big Lie" #4 is China will eventually open its huge population base to American products. Another pile of "Doggie Poop". China is simply waiting us out and our greedy short-sighted financial and political leadership. In the end, China will win the test of wills. China is now the manufacturing center of the planet and they are not going to give up their new found status easily.

The "Big Lie" #5 is education will save us. This would be true if America were the only country on the planet. The America that help win World War I and World II no longer exist. The American population that built this country is virtually extinct. What remains are millions of light headed, educated, functional dimwits that really believe because they are articulate, can think a little bit and have college degrees that they are intelligent. The entire world already knows the average American is an idiot.

The "Big Lie" #6 is the American Spirit will pull us through this. Where is my "Doggie Pooper Scooper"? It's beginning to pile up all over this post. Whatever American Spirit that existed when Bill Clinton became President was throughly destroyed by the time he left office. Whenever a politician says, "I trust the American people", find the nearest commode and regurgitate your food in it. Whatever politician or political leader that repeats this lie, already knows if the American people could really be trusted, he/she would have been voted out of office years before. If our voting public really could be trusted, Washington DC would be empty and the vast majority of our state and local legislators would be in jail for graft and corruption. It's precisely because the voting public cannot be trusted is the primary reason why our political and financial establishment is the way it is and the country is in the sorry shape it is in.

The "Big Lie" #7, this government proposed "Bail Out Plan" will prevent an economic meltdown. Let's just say this, the day of reckoning will be postponed, but not prevented. This post is not big enough to examine over 200 years of lies spewed from the mouths of our political establishment. If you are one of the intelligent Americans left in the country, you will quickly and easily add to this list of lies.

Why Doesn't Washington Come Clean?

The current turmoil in financial markets and the sub-prime mortgage debacle are only the beginning of America's woes and sorrows. Washington needs to come clean with the American people.

We need to know what they have done to our industries and our national wealth. The business community is just as guilty as our worthless politicians. Never before in world history has a free people been so thoroughly deceived by their elected representatives.

America's stocks are over priced and stock values are being artifically manipulated to satisfy institutional investors such as local and state governments. Our nation is drowning in debt and it is just a matter of time before our national lungs run out of air.

Why doesn't Washington come clean and tell us the truth? An economic crash is coming that will make the "Great Depression" seem like a picnic by comparison. Unlike past "Recessions" and the "Depression", America no longer has the inherent growth potential that could bring us out of major economic calamity. The world today is far more competitive than it was 70 years ago and even 30 years ago.

What is needed now is intelligent leadership and we are not going to get it from Barak Obama, Hillary Clinton, John McCain, John Edwards, Rudy Guiliani, Mitt Romney or any current candidate running for President. All these people are part of the problem. As a matter of fact, we are definitely not going to get intelligent leadership from the Republican, Democratic or Libertarian Political Parties.

A Gathering Of "Fools"

On September 30, 2007, a large convention of atheist gathered in Virginia to proclaim their eagerness that GOD does not exist. What a gathering of fools. It never ceases to amaze me how so many well educated and intelligent people can so easily become "FOOLS". For it is written: "The fool says in his heart, there is no GOD. They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good." Psa 14:1 (NIV)


Personally, I don't need to add my comments, "Biblical Scriptures" say it much more emphatically and forcefully than I ever could when it comes to this perverse generation. Because it is also written: "The wrath of GOD is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about GOD is plain to them."

"For since the creation of the world GOD's invisible qualities - his eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. For although they knew GOD, they neither glorified him as GOD nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened."

"Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal GOD for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles. Therefore GOD gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another."

"They exchanged the truth of GOD for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator - who is forever praised. Amen. Because of this, GOD gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exhanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion."

"Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of GOD, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, GOD-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless."

"Although they know GOD's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them." Rom 1:18-32 (NIV)

President Bush, Now Is The Time To Be A Leader

Many in the media, the political and radical left, the ultra and moderate right; as well as President Bush's most vocal detractors have accused him of "Failed Leadership". From where I sit, President Bush has not led this nation since he was elected.

Bill Clinton wasn't a leader and neither is Hillary. Well, you say..Bill Clinton is still very popular...so was Adolf Hitler. In fact, only one of the current group of presidential candidates, has shown any real leadership ability..and that's Rudy Giuliani.

These 3 actualities are very obvious:

1. Managing government is a failed strategy.
2. The President's advisors and political cronies have failed him.
3. His standing in public opinion polls has no where to go but up.

Therefore, the timing is right for President Bush to become our national leader by words, deeds, actions and activities. He must take charge of every aspect of his administration and become the point man on all the major issues confronting America.

Before we can begin to understand why managing government is not leadership, it will be necessary to define what is meant by lead. Lead means to show the way, by going along with or in front of, or to guide. From this definition, we can deduce that a leader is someone who has taken the responsibility to show us the way or to guide us. Management is simply organizing and monitoring activity. Leadership is directing activity.

George W. Bush was elected President by a democratic process. Therefore, he has a duty, an obligation and a responsibility to lead America, not manage government. Underlings can do that. Leadership requires courage and instinct, and by it's very nature must be in some direction or toward the accomplishment of something. That something America is being led toward must be clearly defined and simply stated because this becomes the goal to be reached, the objective to be accomplished or the destination we are suppose to arrive at.

Once the goal has been defined and stated, President Bush, as our leader, must decide on a plan of action or set a course or direction that will reach the goal, accomplish the desired objective or get us to our destination. If it is determined that a course of action has failed or is failing to reach a desired objective, as America's leader, the President must be ready to change course and personnel if needed. Misguided loyalties can be devastating.

Now that we understand the nature of leadership, we can ask ourselves some questions: Where has President Bush's past and present management taken us? What has he really accomplished with it?...and if he has not accomplished anything, we need to know why? In addition, what has been the result of his administration's management philosophy? Is America better off, the same or worse?

It is time for President Bush to take the helm of the ship of state. It is obvious his captains can not read the political charts. When management fails, it is time to lead.

Are America's Government Leaders Mentally Fit To Serve?

A widely accepted definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Political polarization has never worked at any time in world history.

When the political process becomes polarized, gridlock results and the legislative process becomes stagnant and ineffective. Differences as to methods, policies, priorities and procedural implementation are acceptable among any sane and rational group of people.

However, when differences in the essential elements of the legislative process paralyzes, inhibits or prohibits government to act in the best interest of it's citizens, then those elected representatives are no longer acting with reason or rationality. Whenever elected representatives can not compromise or engage in open and honest debate concerning the needs of a nation, these people are exhibiting characteristics of mental illness, not mental fitness.

If an individual or a group of individuals put politics above citizenship or their personal interest above the national interest, we are looking at people that are not fit to hold public office. These people should be voted out of office or thrown out of office at the earliest opportunity.

Illegal Immigrants Causing Major U.S. Hospital Crisis

One border state alone spent $700 million last year to medically treat illegal immigrants and a high-ranking hospital official says the toll is causing a meltdown of the state’s healthcare system. U.S. taxpayers have for years financed the exorbitant cost of medically treating illegal immigrants.

In the last few years, it has transformed into a crisis that has forced many hospitals in borders states to actually close.

This week, outraged California lawmakers provided details illustrating the situation’s severity as they fought a congressional proposal that would drastically cut federal reimbursement for the healthcare of illegal immigrants in their state.

The mostly Democratic group said almost half of California hospitals are operating in the red and provided specific documentation of how the state’s 430 facilities spent $700 million to treat illegal immigrants in 2006. The burden is deeply affecting Americans who may need emergency or urgent medical care and must travel further to find it.

Even though federal law mandates that hospitals must provide emergency medical treatment to illegal immigrants, the government only partially reimburses them. California only got $73 million to cover that astronomical $700 million bill last year and now the House Appropriations Committee, which is responsible for the federal budget, wants to further cut the reimbursement rate.


Many other states are in the same predicament and bipartisan lawmakers are aggressively fighting the new budget proposals that would further diminish the government’s reimbursement for providing free medical care to illegal immigrants.

Is Imus The Victim Of A Double Standard?

Whenever a media personality is canned for his/her remarks or views, the old arguments resurface. You know the routine. Haul out the usual suspects and unfurl the banners. In Imus' case the usual culprits are his free speech, his personal freedom, accusations of racism, political insensitivity, morality and our decadent culture.

Just like Imus has the privilege to speak his mind and select his language, other people have the privilege not to listen or criticize him for his remarks. The problem with the vast majority is that few, if any, people on earth really understand what freedom means. Far too many have this infantile notion and opinion that freedom means doing or saying anything one pleases. This is not freedom. This is arrogance, anarchy, chaos, ignorance, license and stupidity of the most vile, corrupt and dangerous kind.

Freedom carries with it awesome responsibilities, the likes of which few are even capable of understanding. That's precisely why no one on the planet is free. No modern government will ever allow true freedom to flourish because there are too many educated fools and far too many idiots to contend with.

GOD (YHVH) grants rights. What we mistakenly call freedoms and rights are only privileges granted by the society in which we find ourselves living. Some societies have more, some have less and some have whatever their dictatorial government allows. Whenever a society's granted privileges are abused, the violator should have his/her privileges revoked. This brings me to the reason for this article.

Everywhere we look and turn there are double standards and a double standard has Imus in its grips. Imus can now claim victim status. What happened to Imus never should have happened. If we are going to hold him to a standard, then Rappers, MTV, Satellite Radio, Cable, HBO and the other "Shock Jocks" should be held to the same standard. This also includes the companies that harbor and support these known abusers.

The most popular Rappers in the African American community are far more abusive of African American women than Don Imus ever was. However, hauling "Black Folk" on to the carpet for their societal and moral indiscretions is unthinkable. Hauling "Latinos" on to the carpet for violating our national sovereignty by entering our country illegally is also unthinkable. The reason: These issues are too politically sensitive for politicians and political parties to touch. Holding these communities to the same standards as every other ethnic group in America is synonymous to committing political suicide.

Imus should have been canned years ago. However, in Don's defense, he was an equal opportunity "Shock Jock". At least he distributed his poison equally. Through his callous eyes and to his acid ladened tongue, every group was fair game. No group escaped his scathing barbs. Even Howard Dean was charcoal broiled, toasted and roasted on his talk show. What triggered this backlash was the Rutgers basketball team was a beloved underdog that lost to the Goliath of NCAA women's basketball - Tennessee. America's sentiment is always with the little Davids in any battle against a Goliath.

Imus failed to understand the atmosphere that his remarks entered into. This was his first mistake. His second mistake was failing to realize the 2008 election is already in high gear. It's unfortunate, but he was a convenient icon for the "Politically Correct" far left wing of the Democratic Party to throw under the bus as a symbol of their belief in social values. Since Imus' wounds were self inflicted, there is no need to rally around him or feel guilty about his sudden demise.

The "Liberal Left" had to bite the bullet and let one of their own be the sacrificial lamb. If the far left is going to have any hope of winning the 2008 Presidential election and firmly entrenching themselves in government, they had to demonstrate some conservative value in a tangible way. Imus simply gave them the rope and the gallows to hang himself...and they took advantage of it. Every other abuser is off the table and off the hook for now.

Imus' remarks were far from racist. Insensitive perhaps, but not racist. Outlandish maybe, but not racist. So, how did this man who is not a known racist end up being the catalyst for a new dialog on racism? The media. Will such a dialog follow? Hardly. Why? There are bigger fish to fry and a new discussion about America's racial attitudes is not on the agenda.

The War in Iraqi, "Radical Islam" and the eventual socialization of America are far more important issues. However, I could be wrong. The far left is full of deception and deceit. Playing to the masses, lies and treachery have been their calling card for years. To further their cause and agenda, there is no telling what these people might do or when they might do it.

Will America Win The Hearts And Minds Of Muslims?

America will never win the hearts and minds of Muslims. In fact, no western democracy will.

Even though the reasons for this are many and varied, there are 3 major reasons why this will never happen. These reasons are philosophical, historical and fundamental.

The philosophical differences between Judaism, Christianity and Islam run deep and are rarely recognized. It seems very few people have ever ask themselves this question: Why didn't the people of North Africa and the area of the planet commonly referred to as the Middle East, embrace Judaism or Christianity? Why did they embrace Islam so readily? Once analyzed, it becomes painfully clear that the roots of Christianity and Islam can be traced back to Judaism and neither one has credibility or can exist without it.

Over the centuries the basic tenets of Christianity have managed to co-exist peacefully with Judaism and Islam. Islam on the other hand, has not and will not co-exist with Christianity or Judaism because it is the philosophical antithesis of both. Since modern Western Democracies and their inherent philosophies are deeply rooted in Judaism, it is virtually impossible for true Muslims to accept rule or peaceful co-existence with anything that is of the Christian or Judaic West or East.

The historical reasons why we will never win the hearts and minds of Muslims goes back thousands of years. The interaction between Muslims, Christians and Jews has been violent and bloody for centuries. To fully understand the roots of this animosity will require an intense historical analysis that goes all the way back to the Sons of Abraham, Ishmael and Israel. In the last 100 years, all you really need to do is fast forward to the end of World War I, which can be easily researched and documented.

When the French and British governments decided to carve up the Ottoman-Turk Empire after World War I, their diplomats paid little attention to the ethnic hostilities that were rampant in the region at the time. They were more concerned about economic advantages, political expediency and subduing the ethnic populations. The animosities Muslims harbor against the West can be traced back to the treachery and brutal suppression they experienced at the hands of their colonial masters.

Don't lose your bearing because of the "so-called" Palestinian Issue. The Balfour Declaration called for a Jewish and Palestinian State. It was the Arabs that reneged on the Agreement. Muslim hostility toward America has nothing to do with this issue. It is a recent addition, just like our invasion of Iraq.

America became the target of Muslim animosity by default because of the following reason, America is the military arsenal of the Western Powers; i.e, France, Britain, Italy, Germany, Spain, etc., and the only remaining super military force on earth. Don't be deceived. America's military capacity, if unrestrained, can destroy any nation on this planet.

Even though Russia and China are formidable military powerhouses, they are no match for America unleashed. Europe's military industrial complex was dismantled after World War II and the task of defending Europe was literally given to America. Therefore, Muslims sincerely believe, and rightly so, that if America is destroyed, Europe and England will fall.

Finally, there are fundamental differences between Islam, Judaism and Judeo-Christianity that can never be bridged. If Islam changed any of it's tenets, it would no longer be Islam. There are many in North and South America, Europe, England and the Far East that are naive when it comes to this fact. Islam is a religion of brotherly love for Muslims only. The rest of us are infidels and are to be converted, persecuted or destroyed.

Don't be misled by Muslims living in non Muslim countries. These Muslims are largely apostates and are not living by all the tenets of the faith because of economic, political, social, safety or for whatever reason/s that are advantageous and/or beneficial to them. If they are true Muslims, their duty as Muslims is to convert, persecute or destroy all non Muslims. If you don't believe this, find yourself a real Muslim scholar so he/she can explain this to you.

Who Is Responsible For Terrorism?

Asking the question: Who is responsible for terrorism?... is more proof the intellectual left is on the precipice of intellectual madness. Even discussing it adds credibility to the argument that the tenets of "Political Correctness" have gone far beyond tolerance.

Could it be, that in their misguided attempt to be "Politically Correct", the intellectually astute have distorted their own actuality and reality and have diminished their ability to think clearly on any subject?

There is absolutely nothing to decide or ponder. The terrorist are responsible for their acts of terrorism. The answer to this question now opens the door to debate as to why they are committing these unspeakable acts of brutality against innocent men, women and children. In this discussion arena, any reason is as good as any other. Such is the nature of intellectual madness.

A brutal killer can now be excused for his/her dastardly deeds because of what happened in his/her childhood. Madmen, masquerading as religious, spiritual or political leaders, can now be excused for their heinous crimes because they have suffered political, economic and/or social persecution. The fact of the matter is we are responsible for what we do or do not, not our mothers, fathers, the government or self-styled dictators and their supporters.

Human society is what it is because of the ideologies, concepts and precepts human beings are willing to accept as true. It rarely matters whether this ideology comes from GOD or madmen like Hitler, Stalin, Caligula, Mussolini or the late Saddam Hussein. Human beings make their own decisions and then dutifully seek ways, means and/or methods to isolate themselves from their actions, activities and their own decision making process.

They artfully and skillfully transfer their responsibility to others. We casually call this the blame game, but in war and politics this is a high stakes game played for real..in real time...and with real consequences. These modern barbarians instinctively know that somewhere out there on planet earth are idiots and educated fools that will believe them.

How is this done? They blame others and then ask the question. The question becomes a political, religious, spiritual, economic or social statement that has sympathetic appeal. Now, instead of hauling these barbaric individuals off to the gallows and executing them for their crimes against humanity, a "so-called" "self styled" intellectual now takes up the cause and begins blaming American foreign policy or some other situation, circumstance or event as the reason for terrorism and the acts of terrorist.

This insidious madness goes even further, these butchers are now hailed as heroes by their own people. Some are even transformed into icons for public consumption and actually considered as martyrs for the cause.

This unthinkable act, sucks even more unsuspecting men and women into this murderous and detestable lifestyle. It matters little that the acts of these "so called" martyrs are immoral and senseless acts of human butchery. How does this happen so easily and with so little effort? It can be traced directly and indirectly right back to ideologies, concepts and precepts they accepted as being true.

What Makes A Nation

Whenever I hear the excuses some "Liberals" and many "Latinos" use to defend corrupt and ineffective leadership that is proliferating throughout South America, I have to remind them of Japan, South Korea and Israel. All of these countries were poor when compared to major world powers.

Japan: Japan is a nation of few natural resources. The Japanese people have always been afraid of poverty, so afraid in fact, they developed a work ethic that is so intense and remarkable that it has propelled them from a poverty stricken nation to a world power. They were a world power in World I and World War II and they are an economic power today.

What international agency helped them? What UN mandate? What foreign agency loaned them money during their rise from poverty to riches? How many of them are illegal immigrants anywhere in the world? The answers are few or none. The Japanese have earned everything they have.

Even in America, few Japanese; if any, have ever been convicted of a major crime. Few. if any, Japanese are on subsidy programs they didn't earn. Even though they were horribly discriminated against in this country, they went to war as Americans and fought and died with honor. They are and always will be one of the greatest nation of people on this planet.

South Korea: Let's turn to the South Koreans, another great nation of people. South Korea was virtually decimated during the communist incursion into southeast Asia. Yet in less than 30 years, using natural and human resources, they raised themselves from the bottom to an economic powerhouse. To date, there are few, if any, South Koreans in American prisons, on undeserved government subsidies or can be called an illegal immigrant.

What did these third world nations, that are now first world, have that many nations around the world lack? The answer in 3 words is honest, dedicated, leadership. Their governments were not engrossed in corruption, ineffective and/or self-serving. Their people were committed to each other. They worked together as a nation. All for one and one for all.

What makes America great is not our natural resources, its our people. What makes any country great is its people. If natural resources were the key to greatness, Russia would be the greatest and most powerful nation on this earth and they are not.

Finally there is Israel: Israel is a tiny nation that is no more than a strip of land. It is surrounded by millions of hostile Arabs. Yet this nation of people whose ethnicity has caused them to be butchered by the millions is one of the most successful nations on earth. The Israeli Defense Forces are among the world's elite and their air force rivals our own. They took a barren wasteland and turned it into an oasis.

I could talk about 50 countries or more where people are struggling and dying rather than coming together as a nation. The answer is always the same. What makes a nation great..the people and those they choose to govern them and lead them.

Violence In The Middle East And The Sykes-Picot Agreement

Practically all the modern states of the Middle East were influenced by the Sykes-Picot Agreement. This Agreement has caused more death and destruction than any other Middle East Document.

The Sykes-Picot Agreement has literally been the cornerstone of Europe's and England's Middle East policy since its acceptance and enactment in May of 1916. The agreement was originally a secret document that was initiated by Mark Sykes - a Briton and Francois Georges-Picot - a Frechman. It's purpose was to establish territorial control and spheres of influence in what is now the Middle East and other areas that belonged to the Ottoman-Turks.

The various policy positions of the French and British governments on the Palestinian and Jewish issues during the 1920s, 30s, during and After World War II can be traced to Skyes-Picot and its subsequent agreements and the Balfour Declarations of 1917 and 1926. (See: Sykes-Picot)

When the French and British governments decided to carve up the Ottoman-Turk Empire after World War I, their diplomats paid little attention to the ethnic hostilities that were rampant in the region at the time. They were more concerned about economic advantages, political expediency and subduing the ethnic populations.

Consequently, the Kurds (almost 30 million today) were denied a homeland (Kurdistan). Sunni, Shi'ite and Kurds were lumped together in Iraq and a huge segment of Kurdistan was given to the Turks. Even today, Turkish government leaders do not want an independent Kurdistan on their border. Persians and Medes; along with a huge Shi'ite population were thrown together in Iran.

The Balfour Declarations supported an independent Palestine and an independent Israel. The Palestinians were denied a homeland, not by the Jews, America, Britian or France. The Arabs denied them a homeland. Arab governments made the decision that a Palestinian state would not be in territories they controlled. If Palestine were going to exist, it would be in the land allocated to the Jews.

There was little or no justification for the Arab position because there was never an autonomous Palestine within the Ottoman-Turk Empire. Palestine existed in name only as a former Roman Province. In 140 AD, Hadrian changed the name of Israel to Palestine. Therefore, if the Palestinians wanted an antonomous homeland they had to take it from its legitimate owners, the Jews. Arab governments have supported this position since that time.

The animosities Muslims harbor against the West can be traced back to the brutal suppression they experienced at the hands of their colonial masters. Prior to World I, the vast majority of Americans had little or no interest in European politics. As a nation, we did not want to enter World I or World II, even though we were quietly supporting the Allies in both Wars. Pearl Harbor and Hitler's Declaration of War changed all that during World War II.

America is involved in this Middle East quagmire for the following reasons:

1. We are basically the military arsenal of the Western Powers; i.e, France, Britian, Italy, Germany, Spain, etc. and the only remaining super power on the planet.

2. The Soviet Union, now Russia, has been sympathetic toward Middle Eastern foreign policy positions since the 1950s. During World War II, "Radical Islamic" groups had their own SS divisions, courtesy of Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich.

3. Europe's military industrial complex was largely dismantled after World War II and the task of defending Europe was literally given to America. Therefore, "Islamic Radicals" believe, and rightly so, that if America is destroyed, Europe and England will eventually fall.

As you can see, this long standing hatred of the West, because of poor diplomacy, has been transferred to America by default. Over the past 50 years, Western Europe has become much more sympathetic to Arab policies and has huge Muslim populations. Hence, "Islamic Radicals" truly believe that the only obstacle to their eventual conquest of Europe and the world is America.

Even though President Bush was literally dragged into this conflict because of 9/11, I firmly believe he is one of the few American Presidents that truly understands the dangers of an all out war with Muslim extremist. Even President Nixon believed a war with "Radical Islamic" groups was inevitable. It was reported that Nixon also believed America and the West would lose, and the best strategy to adopt was to delay the war as long as possible.

Unfortunately, "Radical Islamic" groups struck first in the 1980s overseas, again in the 90s overseas, and finally America on 9/11/2001. President Bush believes we can win this war. I believe we can win it also as long as we keep "Liberals" and their warped philosophical views out of power. Once, they are entrenched, "Liberals" and their supporters will eventually try to appease "Radical Islam" and create absolute disaster.

President Bush and Donald Rumsfeld's only miscalculation was fighting "Radical Islam" in Iraq with too small an Army. Our intelligence failed us again. We would have been much better off pursuing Osama Bin Laden , the remnants of Al-Qaida and the Taliban into Pakistan. The violence in the Middle East and this war are going to last for a long, long time.

Situational Ethics And Illegal Immigration

Any criminal can reform and become an outstanding citizen. All Germans weren't Gestapo agents, members of the dreaded SS, brutal and barbaric to conquered peoples, or responsible for the horror of the Holocaust. However, do we conclude just because one German or a few were good, decent and humane that their crimes as a nation should be excused and ignored?

Do we ignore and pardon the crimes of those who were actually guilty of these atrocities? No..we do not and should not. Situational ethics is a dangerous intellectual game. Either you enforce our laws or repeal them. Once the law has been adhered to, then we can discuss in an intelligent and forthright manner any extenuating circumstances. Not before.

This is the essence of true justice. If illegal aliens were sincere in their intentions, they would confess their crime of illegal entry and throw themselves on the mercy and justice of the American people. I'm certain they would find sympathizers. Such acts would demonstrate sincerity of purpose and a willingness to honor our laws and respect our institutions. In the absence of contrition, regardless of how innocent an undocumented individual's actions and activities may be, we must conclude that they willfully and knowingly choose to ignore our laws and thus disrespect us all.

How can an undocumented individual enter our home (country) uninvited, violate our trust, trample the very essence of our sovereignty and then expect us a nation to ignore their abuses and call them friends? Trust must be earned not given, therefore, how can we ever trust them without just and verifiable acts?

If undocumented aliens sincerely wanted our trust and friendship, they would have done the right thing. Even the 9/11 hijackers did that. In addition, before 9/11/2001 not one hijacker committed a crime, major or minor and entered our country legally.

According published reports. we have 8-12 million people within our borders that are very capable of helping us, hurting us or killing us and we have no idea who they are. Undocumented aliens not only hurt our economy, institutions and services, they also hurt themselves by being outside of our legal system. They rob themselves and their children of respectability.

If earning money is our only criteria for citizenship and legality, then every cut throat, thief, murderer, con artist drug lord, crime boss, corrupt politician and drug smuggler is a model citizen. Surely, you nor I want this level of depravity for ourselves, our nation, our society, or for our children.

Undocumented individuals must do the right thing by coming forward, leaving voluntarily or we must find them and deport them because we can not play that dangerous game of situational ethics.

Immigration Reform

Meaningful immigration reform has nothing to do with departmental changes that may be necessary in a time of crisis such as 9/11/2001 and creating the Department of Homeland Security. If we have able, competent and intelligent leadership in these areas, departmental confusion will end at some future time. After all, we were attacked and change is often a slow and painful process.

As far as immigration reform is concerned, the first thing we need to do is create a government program to hire legitimate citizens that are unemployed and get busy rounding up every illegal immigrant in our country.

Amnesty and guest worker programs at this point in time would be a recipe for disaster. What you are invariably doing is sanctioning a criminal activity. No reforms should be discussed until our current laws are enforced, our borders secure and these people are out of our country. Then and only then should we re-examine our immigration policies. This action needs to be taken for the following reasons.

1. By definition and legal statutes, undocumented aliens or illegal immigrants are criminals. A criminal, as defined by Webster, is anyone who has broken a law. A statute is a law passed by a legislative body. The Federal government deemed years ago that entering America, through other than legal and lawful channels (refugees are legal)is illegal. Therefore, if you are in America with stolen identities, false identities, and/or without proper documentation, you are a criminal. Creating safe havens and employing these individuals, under the law, is aiding and abetting a felon.

2. Currently, assuming all the reported statistical data is true, We have over 12,000,000 felons running loose in our communities. We, as a nation, are encouraging lawlessness and contempt for the rule of law. These people have no allegiance to our country, no respect for our values or us. Why should they? The dangers of unrestricted immigration are too numerous to mention. There are the health risks; such as AIDS, Bird Flu, Tuberculosis, Hepatitis, Small Pox, Venereal Diseases and the list goes on.

3. Besides the risk of epidemics, there is also the potential risk of thousands of potential mass murders, thieves, drug traffickers, smugglers, rapist and pedophiles all masquerading as farm workers, maids, construction workers or common laborers. We have no knowledge of who these people are, where they come from or their political beliefs and/or affiliations.

4. We may be allowing thousands of Al-Qaida sleeper cells into our country all plotting to commit mass murder at some future time. Radical or militant Islam is real, suicide bombers are real and cold blooded killers are real.

These matters should not be taken lightly, nor should we make decisions based on purely humanitarian considerations. We could be nursing vipers in our midst that our children and grandchildren will have to deal with in the future, all because of our stupidity and lack of resolve.

I Receive A Bone For Every Steak You Eat

To Newt Gingrich and his supporters. Elections in America are no longer choices between two futures, they are choices between two political parties and the ideologies of the men and/or women that have the power to impose their beliefs on others.

The tidbits or rewards we receive as common men and women are the bones that are thrown to us after the steak is eaten.

These tidbits or rewards are the bills that manage to be enacted into law. If we examined every law passed by both houses of congress, we will discover that someone benefited at the expense of someone else. This is Linear Thinking at its worst and is a recipe for eventual political failure.

Every time we elect a politician to office and grant him/her authority over us or appoint a judge, we are risking our future, not securing it. Why is this so? The primary reason is because the vast majority of political figures, advocates of every kind and sort, and even the political parties themselves are populated with Linear Thinkers. A Linear Thinker is any person that reasons or arrives at decisions based on his/her objective or subjective understanding of opposing forces or factors.

Let's take this example: In the jargon of the political right, "Radical Secularist are replacing 219 years of American religious freedom and political liberty with a revisionist version of American history. " The 2 most important questions we need to ask are:

(1) Who are these "Radical Secularist"?

(2) How have they risen or how did they rise to positions of power and authority that would allow them to usurp our political process to implement their agenda?

The political right has often stated: "The Supreme Court has seen fit to rule against God in the American public square time and again, even as they sit inside of a building surrounded by religious imagery. Most prominent among them are a depiction of Moses and an engraving of the Ten Commandments over the chair of the Chief Justice, each affirming our Judeo-Christian roots."

Since I have been living, I have never seen, read or heard of the Supreme Court calling a press conference to announce they are going to change a law. The courts have made every ruling based on their interpretation and understanding of the Law and the Constitution as it applies to the case/s presented to them.

In Newt's own words; I quote: "In case after case brought by radical secularists, activist judges have virtually made God into an outlaw. The Court has ruled against school prayers and Bible studies, and even prohibited voluntary prayer before football games. Most recently, a California court reaffirmed the Ninth Circuit Court ruling that the phrase 'one nation, under God' was unconstitutional."

WHY? If these justices are usurping the law and/or going beyond their constitutional authority they should be impeached and imprisoned. This is obviously not the case. So who is to blame and who is accountable? The answer is: We the People and Our Elected Representatives.

Let's examine other statements from leading conservatives; I quote: "They are using the courts to meet their political objectives. But why should we accept appointed lawyers’ edicts on how faith can be expressed in the public square? If you sit out an election, you are choosing their desire for enforced secularism." These statements should have been reviewed because they are inherently misleading and no more than political propaganda.

The reason why we accept appointed lawyers and judges is because our political system and institutions allow these appointments. This is not an enforcement of secularism. This is a manifestation of a legitimate process. If this process is not functioning as it should, who is to blame and who is accountable? The answer is: We the People and Our Elected Representatives.

Newt Gingrich has also stated, and I quote: "Their only hope is to keep you from voting." I have never seen, read, or heard of any "Radical Secularist" calling a press conference urging people not to vote or issuing threats to intimidate people into not voting. This is not a true statement.

As you can see, the political right and Republicans, the political left and leaders within the Democratic Party are all victims of the same 'Linear Thinking' process that doomed every civilization since human history began. These miscues are harmless. However, they do serve to rally the weak minded to the polls to vote. By doing so, more politicians and their bankers will continue eating steaks, while we, the people, nibble on the bones or crumbs.

The real problem is not the Radical Secularist. To my knowledge, these people have not broken any laws. The real problem is "We the People and Our Elected Representatives."Therefore, we need a better political model that encourages people to vote for the right reasons rather than cheap political propaganda. I'm tired of nibbling on bones.

The Modern Republican Legacy

If graft and corruption are going to be the legacy of the Republican Party, it will probably drive most evangelicals out the party.

In fact, the Republican Party in Orangeburg South Carolina is so inept and dysfunctional, it is an absolute embarassment.

Let's see...graft, corruption, ineptitude, dysfunctionality, the "Good Old Boy Political System" and more pork barrel political earmarks than any congress in American history.

Let's add more spending than the Lyndon Johnson's "Great Society". Runaway immigration, disfunctional government agencies, over 3,000 dead Americans in Iraq in a situation that is rapidly deteriorating, energy legislation that enriches "Big Oil", prescription drugs that enrich pharmaceutical companies, deplorable oversight of e-voting machines, unfair tax legislation, failed policies and programs all over Washington, DC and influence peddling.

Please give me a break about Nancy Pelosi and Charles Rangel. Let's get beyond political infighting and move to the next level. Our "Republican Leaders" are an absolute political embarrassment and we might as well call a spade a spade.

The primary reason why the press is harder on Republicans than Democrats is because they expect more from Republicans. They expect higher standards of morality, ethics, and higher standards of performance at every level of government. When Republicans succumb to base and vile political standards, they are no better than the Democrats who have been corrupt for years. In other words, Republicans are hypocrits and the press hammers that fact home.

What Is The Real Message From The 2006 Mid-Term Elections?

While the Democrats are basking in victory and the Republicans are reeling in defeat, the real losers in the 2006 midterm elections are the American People.

The U.S. House of Representatives will return to its former theatrics and the U.S. Senate will return to a comedy of errors. There are only two real messages I can glean from the 2006 midterm elections.

Message #1: The American voters put back in power the same party that flaunts its perversions, corruption, immorality, back room, back door, deceptive legislative practices and its utter contempt for the rule of law.

Pundits, political commentators and Democratic operatives are keep telling us the American people have sent a strong message that we are upset over the debacle that is commonly referred to as the War on Terror, now called the War in Iraq.

Therefore, they are essentially saying that we, the American people, prefer graft, corruption, perversion, immorality and a gangster operation masquerading as the Democratic Party, rather than a Republican Party of principles, values, responsible citizenship, low taxes, real leadership and effective government. At least that how it was suppose to work.

I don't like what is going on with the Republican Party, but I'm not that far removed from reality to put Democrats back in control of Congress for another 50 years. The Democratic record in this country is not only shameful and a dismal failure, it is an absolute atrocity. Let's review what the Democrats have done for us, as a nation, besides taxing us from crib to grave.

Under Democratic rule; many of our schools became day care centers, social experiments, dysfunctional and on the verge of collapsing into a nightmare reality for our children. Our military was virtually destroyed and demoralized. Our manufacturing base was gutted and shipped overseas, which relegated millions to the welfare rolls, while turning industrial communities into industrial wastelands.

Under the Democrats, our nation became a cess pool of illegal drugs, crime, sexual perversion, immorality, deceit, deception, lies, fraud, government abuse, corruption and legal thievery. The Democrats put America on a downward spiral, from which we may never recover and this does not include the murder of over 40 million babies in abortion factories.

Because of their blunderous foreign policy decisions, the Democrats unwittingly contributed to the birth and growth of the modern terrorist movement. Don't take my word for this, review their record and history for yourselves.

At least President Bush and the Republicans had the guts to stand up and try to do something about our downward spiral. During the 6 years the Republicans controlled the House and the Senate they did manage to give Congress some level of decency.

However, that old adage is still true and few have escaped is intoxicating appeal. Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Did Republicans make mistakes?...Yes. Did the Republican leadership slip into the unforgiving abyss of coverup and corruption?...Yes.

However, unlike their Democratic counterparts that are still harboring an impeached judge and a suspected criminal in the House of Representatives, elected a dead man to political office, elected a known racist (Byrd) and a glib grifteress (Hillary Clinton) to the U.S. Senate and a known philanderer (Bill Clinton) as President. At least the Republicans try to keep a clean house.

The Democratic Party has repeatedly demonstated that they have no concept of what it means to keep a clean house. The stench from the corruption and chicanery that the Democratically controlled Congress gave us still hangs over this nation like a burial shroud. But, if you stand in a pig pen long enough, you can easily adapt to its foul smell and mounds of filth.

These are not partisan attacks, they are absolute facts that any reader can verify for himself/herself. To be sure the War in Iraq is no longer popular; but it is the right war at the right time. It's just in the wrong place. To be sure, the war on terror in Iraq has been horribly mismanaged. However, to assume the Democrats can save us from future terrorism is sheer madness.

How can modern Democrats help us win a war against radical Islam? How can they, when they have already made a mess of America. The modern Democratic Party has literally destroyed every value, concept and precept we have ever cherished as a nation. Their liberal ideology has ruined everything it has ever touched from education to free trade. It only stands to reason they will ruin the War on Terror and destroy us in the process.

This leads me to the second message I have gleaned from the 2006 mid-term elections. This message is far more insidious and disheartening.

Message #2: Vast segments of our population are becoming so lawless, petty, polarized, self-serving and selfish in nature, until they are dragging all of us down to new lows of personal depravity.

There is another adage that is well suited for our day and age and it is uniquely suited as an epithet for the 2006 mid-term elections. Every nation of people will eventually end up with a government it deserves. God help us all if this ever becomes true.

Where Is America's Comprehensive Energy Policy?

There are only two type problems on planet earth; natural and man made. There are no others.

Our energy needs are natural and man made. Natural because we are dealing with a resource we did not create.

We can use our energy resources, but humanity had nothing to with the creation of oil, coal, trees and natural gases. If the availability of energy resources were our only problem, we could solve this problem very easily because there are only 2 logical courses of action.

1. Develop and implement programs, policies and procedures that would limit our use and need for natural energy reserves. Or...
2. Develop and implement programs, policies and procedures to deal with the aftermath in the event this could not be done. Surely, any intelligent group of people can figure this out.

Since what nature has done or will do is beyond our immediate control, lets identify our collective problems. Our man made problems can be lumped into 12 broad categories.

• Failure to Research and/or Investigate (Educational, Institutional)
  
• Inadequate Technological Development (Educational, Institutional)
  
• Developmental Failure (Don't have enough knowledge or expertise)
  
• Implementational Failure (Social, Political, Economic)
• Operational Failure (Social, Political, Economic)
  
• Failure to Communicate (Social, Political)
• Failure to Cooperate (Social, Political)
• Personal or Group Greed (Social, Political, Economic)
• Personal or Group Insensitivity (Social, Political)
• Personal or Group Hatred (Social, Political)
• Ignorance and Uncertainty (Humanity's biggest problem)
• Lacking the Courage or Will to Solve the Problem, Collectively or Individually (Every problem has a solution)
  

All these problems can be solved with accurate information and applying the age old principle of using whatever knowledge we have managed to accumulate with understanding and wisdom. Whenever a person or group fail to act responsibly or fail to compromise in a legislative process because of conscious, principle or belief (religious or otherwise), we are not dealing with a problem. We are dealing with a condition.

Conditions can exist for any number of reasons. Our collective mission and objective is to find out the nature of the condition and address it in an intelligent, thoughtful and forthright manner. This means our energy needs can be solved. The first step Congress needs to take is to open all available areas for oil and natural gas exploration. The second step Congress needs to take is to develop a logical and comprehensive energy policy. Any well thought out energy policy should have 6 key elements...

• Effectively alleviate or prevent high consumer energy prices
• Reduce or effectively manage consumption
• Reduce our reliance on imported energy resources
• Develop alternative and/or renewable energy sources
• Increase our ability and capacity to develop and manage our own energy resources..and
  
• Protect the environment before, during and after energy resources are discovered or developed by a man made process.
  

Consumers, industry and businesses throughout the nation should have enough innate intelligence to realize oil, gas, coal and other natural energy resources are finite. Even renewable energy resources have limitations. Therefore, if our nation is still struggling with rising energy prices, tight supplies and increased reliance on imports from politically unstable areas, then we have a failed or failing leadership group in charge.

It is more important than ever that the federal government work out their political and philosophical differences and give us a sensible energy policy that safely and effectively utilizes U.S. resources. This will not only help industries that rely on crude and natural gas, it would also strengthen our national security, provide jobs for our citizens and spur economic growth.

The Administration and Congress must also quickly approve measures allowing coastal states and localities to receive a fair and equitable share of revenues derived from offshore oil and gas production. This production revenue would provide a tremendous benefit to state and local communities; helping to build roads, schools, hospitals and to address other vital local needs. In addition, no exploration and/or delivery of energy resources should be done without taking all the necessary precautions to safeguard our environment. Don't forget...we live here.

A True Religion Is Better Than A Philosophy

Having a religious belief based on the teachings and the words of a true and living GOD (YHVH) is far better than having a philosophy created by men and women just like you and me. Why? Because 9 times out 10 these "self styled" or so called" philosophers are no better than you or me. These people are driven by their egos and their narrow and limited understanding of life, reality and actuality.

Why narrow and limited? They, like you and me, do not live long enough. The best they can produce is a belief system that is followed by individuals that are weak and narrow minded themselves.

This happens frequently because the overwhelming majority of people on planet earth do not know the difference between a belief system and a true religion. Using popular definitions, "Secular Humanism" and Darwinism" can be classified as religions.

Belief systems are not religions at all. They are merely the philosophies and traditions of men and women masquerading as a religion. These belief systems are given credibility by intellectuals and the academic community because of perceived similarities, not real similarities.

However, before we begin this discussion, let's define religion and use a standard definition that has been accepted by scholars around the world as an accurate understanding. A religion is a belief binding the spiritual nature of man or a woman to a super natural being that has the power to create other super natural beings and self sustaining life forms and involves a feeling of dependence and responsibility, together with the feelings and practices which naturally flow from such a belief.

By this definition, Confucianism is not a religion. It follows the teachings of Confucius a natural man, born of woman and later died. The same is true for Taoism, Shintoism, Buddhism, Hinduism (based on the Vedic writings and philosophies), spiritualism of all kinds are philosophies and so is Zoroastrianism, "Secular Humanism", Darwinism and Communism (God is the state).

Islam is based on the revelations of an angel (Gabriel) to a man (Muhammad Mohamet), born of woman and died. Muslims believe Allah (God), via an angel (Gabriel), delivered these messages (the Quran/Koran) to Muhammad. Muhammad himself never claimed or professed that he received revelations from any other source other than the angel Gabriel.

Even though angels are super natural beings, they can not create other beings or self sustaining life forms. Therefore, Gabrielism is a philosophy. However, it does not exist as such. What exist is Islam. Since Angels are messengers of GOD (YHVH), the GOD of the Jews and Christians, Islam for all practical purposes is a derivative of Judaism, though no true confessing Muslim will ever admit this fact. If Islam divorces itself from Judaism, which it has, it is automatically reduced to a philosophy.

Mormonism is based on the teachings of Moroni a prophet that was reportedly sent as a messenger by God to Joseph Smith, another man born of woman and was later killed. Mormonism by definition is not a religion. Moroni was a man, born of woman and died. Mormonism is basically a philosophy that is a derivative or a sect of Christianity.

Likewise, Satanism is tied to an angel, a super natural being that can not create other super natural beings or self sustaining life forms. By definition - Satanism is a philosophy. Therefore, in a contest of Satanism vs Judeo-Christianity, one can clearly and emphatically state Judeo-Christianity is better than Satanism.

There is only one religion on earth that reports and claims that its revelations and teachings come directly from GOD, and that is Judaism and Christianity. We might as well say Judeo-Christianity because they are truly one and the same. So when one says one's religion is better than a philosophy there is truth in this statement.

By definition there is only one true religion on earth and that is Judeo-Christianity. The reason: Angels are created super natural entities that did not create themselves, nor can they create other super natural beings or self sustaining life forms. Even Satan is a fallen angel.

Even though the Vedic writings make numerous references to super natural entities, nowhere in any of the writings do the authors state they were divinely inspired by GOD. Therefore, the only logical conclusion one can reach is: All the nations on earth and all the people on earth have been beneficiaries of only one true religion and that religion is Judeo-Christianity. I challenge anyone to prove otherwise. Since there is only one true religion, it is, by default, better than any one's philosophy.

Basically, when we engage in religious discussions, we are not discussing religions. We are actually discussing systems of beliefs. A system of beliefs can be about anything or started by anyone, and in this discussion, one can legitimately call into question, whether or not one is better or more beneficial than another.

True Christianity and Judaism are, in essence, not religions at all, they are a way of life within a Kingdom ruled by a righteous, all powerful, all knowing, perfect and loving GOD. However, since our discussion is limited to religion and philosophy, I can state emphatically in this article that a true religion can only be created by The GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

On this planet that GOD is YHVH. YHWH, Yahweh, Yahveh and Jehovah are accepted translations. Anything else is a belief system started and perpetuated by men and women and those that follow them.
