Senate Serving America Pork and Redistributed Beans Today

This Pic from the LA Times shows

Independent Sen. Joe Lieberman, from left, Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson, and Republican Sens. Arlen Specter and Susan Collins arrive to talk to reporters about a deal being arranged on the economic stimulus bill. The compromise, negotiated behind the scenes, would slice some $110 billion from the bill, which had grown to $930 billion as amended on the Senate floor.

According to this morning's Chicago Tribune, a deal was hammered out Friday that will bring about the passage of this dreadful stimulus package, and Republicans may delay the vote until early next week, “but there was little doubt about the outcome.”

Senators said the legislation, which is a cornerstone of Obama's efforts to revive the economy, would carry a price tag of about $820 billion under the compromise deal, though the final figure was unclear. The bill is expected to cost about the same as the $819 billion approved by the House and far lower than the bill as amended on the Senate floor, which had grown to more than $930 billion.

The dirty so-called “Stimulus” deal is almost done with these turncoat Republican Senators we have to thank:

Sens. Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe of Maine and Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania

Three GOP moderates — Sens. Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe of Maine and Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania — quickly declared their support for the compromise. But two other GOP moderates — Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and George Voinovich of Ohio — said they would oppose it.

CBS Poll: Support For Stimulus Falls

According to a new CBS Poll nearly half of America is against the stimulus package because they do not believe it will shorten the recession.

(CBS) Slightly more than half the country approves of President Obama's $800 billion-plus stimulus package, a new CBS News poll finds. But support for the bill has fallen 12 points since January, and nearly half of those surveyed do not believe it will shorten the recession.

Contact your Senators today and tell them you don’t want this pork and redistributed beans package!

The Center for Individual Freedom will send out blast faxes to all of the Senators in your name for a price. Here’s what they say:

Tell them in no uncertain terms that the American people DON'T want them to "tinker" with this evil bill or to try to "fix" it. The American people do not want any "compromises" or "amendments" or ANY AMOUNT OF LIPSTICK PUT ON THIS PIG OF A BILL.

The American people want the Obama-Pelosi Theft Act of 2009 DEAD... A STAKE DRIVEN THROUGH ITS EVIL HEART! Tell them - to borrow a phrase from former First Lady Nancy Reagan - they just need to say "NO" and stop this liberal boondoggle!

We don't need compromises! We don't need fixes! We don't need alternative plans that will move America towards SOCIALISM!

Flood the following wavering and compromising Senators TODAY and their staff with your e-mails reminding them that if they vote Yes on this package their constituents will long remember!!!

No State For Palestine... EVER!

No State for Palestine… ever!

J. D. Longstreet

*********************
The simple truth is, there should be no Palestinian state and there is no reason, today, to think there will be anytime in in the immediate future.

Did you know that the area and the people, erroneously called Palestinians, were offered a state of their own back in the 1930’s? Bet you didn’t know that.

It seems we have to go over the history of the rejected Palestinian state over and over and I can only surmise the Public School System and the university and college systems in the US simply don’t teach it!

Look, the plain truth is… the people, calling themselves Palestinians, have been offered a state of their own at least three times since the 1936 Arab revolt. They have flatly turned it down every time! Yes! The first offer made by the Peel Commission in the 1930s offered them a vast piece of real estate much larger that that offered to the Jews… and … they turned it down!

UN Resolution 181 passed soon after the Second World War gave Israel 55% of the so-called Palestine and the Palestinians 45%. The Jews accepted and in doing so recognized that Palestine would become a state next door to them. They accepted that. But the Arabs rejected it, flat out, and started another war against the Jews, which they (the Arabs) promptly lost.

It has been 60 years now and the whining and moaning is still coming from the “woe is me” crowd who called themselves Palestinians.

The problems between Israel and the Palestinians are not because Israel has settled on some disputed land. No! The cause of all the trouble in that “center of the earth” strip of land is due entirely to the Arabs refusal to accept the existence of a Jewish state called Israel, or called anything else, for that matter. That is the crux of the problem.

“Right of Return” is far more dangerous to The State of Israel than an all out attack by their Arab neighbors. You’re going to hear more and more about the Palestinians demand for a Right of Return.

So what is the Right of Return? “The idea of the right of return is to demand that Israel allow the descendants of the 750,000 Palestinians who were displaced in 1948 and their families (which now stands at almost 4 million) back into Israel and give them full compensation for their troubles. Even if only half of these Palestinians returned, it would alter Israel's identity as a Jewish state and effectively create a second Palestinian state. One assumption made under the right of return is that the all the Arabs that lived in Israel proper were forcibly expelled from their homes in 1947 and 48. This is a myth. While historians know for a fact that a small number of the 750,000 displaced Arabs were forcibly expelled by Zionist militias (a famous example being Deir Yassin), honest and impartial historians also know that a large number of this 750,000 strong population left on their own, either to avoid an upcoming war between the Zionists and the Arabs, or to join the Arabs in the fighting against the newly established state.” (From:the Middle East Now. You'll find it HERE. )

The "Palestinians" will obfuscate, and delay, and continue to carry on their war to wipe Israel from the face of the map. They will use any means to do it, up to, and including, using the US State Department and Secretary of State... and a VERY naive President to do it.

As a conservative, I believe in “peace through victory”. To take that a step farther, I believe we ought to unleash Israel and let them do whatever they find necessary to eradicate the Palestinian problem on their borders.

But that is not going to happen any time soon. Watch as our socialist President, with his Secretary of State, try to bring peace to the the Holy Land. Watch as the Arabs play them for "suckers" just as they have all the rest since the late 1940's. It would be funny... if it were not for all the dead bodies lying all over the landscape.

If the world truly wants peace in the Middle East, especially that portion we erroneously call Palestine, then the world should get out of the way and allow Israel to take care of business.

"Obamacare": More Socialism in America... Universal Healthcare

"Obamacare": More Socialism in America... Universal Healthcare

By: J. D. Longstreet

**********************

The charge by the democrats to set up a "National Health Insurance" program in America officially began with Obama signing the new CHIP bill, a few days ago, which extended health care coverage to 4 million uninsured children. The President was not the least bit bashful in announcing that his action, in signing the bill, was the first step in fulfilling his promise made during the campaign to provide universal health insurance for all Americans. To quote Obama he said: "As I think everybody here will agree, this is only the first step. Because the way I see it, providing coverage to 11 million children through CHIP is a down payment on my commitment to cover every single American."

Now, you may think this is just swell. We don't! In fact we are pledged to work as hard as we can to see that universal health insurance does not come to America.

Why? Mainly, for two reasons. First: because it is out and out socialism. That is why, dear reader, it is referred to as socialized medicine! The second reason, and just as important as the first, is the fact that socialized medicine will utterly destroy what is arguably, the best healthcare system on the planet!

Some of you will disagree with me, I'm sure. That is your right. But bear with me for a moment or two, and keep reading, and we will try to change your mind.

A few months ago I wrote the following, which is every bit as pertinent today as it was then, so I'm going to repeat it. Back then I wrote this:

We are continuing to lose our privacy, here in America, at an ever-increasing speed. There is hardly a place in America one can go, these days, without being seen by someone’s security cameras. I recently stood in a parking lot of one of the Big Box stores and counted 22 cameras zeroed in on the parking area, and entrances, and exits, to the store. And that was just on the OUTSIDE, at the front, of the store!

If you think Big Brother’s snooping is bad now just wait. It will get worse, a LOT worse, IF we allow it.

Weigh too much? Lose weight… or the government won’t pay for your medical bills.

Drive too fast? Slow down… or the government won’t pay for your medical bills if you’re in an accident.

Smoke? The government won’t pay for your medical bills, period.

Have more than (two) kids? Your medical bills will not be paid if you exceed the allowable limit on babies.

Pregnant with a third child and the government insists that you have an abortion, but you really want this third child? Well, either have an abortion, or that third child will have no medical coverage and the cost of the pregnancy, and delivery, will not be covered, either.

Didn’t finish High School? Your medical bills will not be covered if you do not get a High School Diploma (At least a GED).

Take the wrong courses in college? Well, if you didn’t check before you signed up for a course, and you signed-up for a course the government thinks is uncalled for, or that you do not need for your chosen occupation… then your medical bills will not be picked up by the National Healthcare.

Own a gun? Why, everyone knows there is an epidemic of deaths due to handguns in America. So it is a health issue. National Healthcare will not pay for your medical bills until you turn in your guns to the government!

Choose the wrong career, and you are on your own… no medical help from the government.

Get the picture? Almost total control. And you, and I, will have given that power to the government!

So, next time you hear someone calling for National Healthcare/Universal Healthcare, remind them of all the freedom they will give up for that "cradle to the grave" care. The founders of the United States of America wanted us to live free... healthy, if we could manage it, but free in any event. Today, it seems we are prepared to give up our freedom for a modern day form of Marxism... Socialized Medicine!

Ok, so what about the cost to Americans in dollars, per year? Right now, if the economy doesn't get any worse, (and I think we can agree that the economy is certainly going to get worse under the policies Obama is trying so desperately to set in place)... the universal healthcare program will cost us around 150 BILLION per year! The possible ten-year cost-out might be expected to exceed 3 TRILLION dollars. There is an excellent article over at the Washington Times we recommend. You'll find it HERE.

To make it even worse, it is expected the bill, when passed through the Congress, most likely will outlaw private health insurance, altogether. The democrats understand that to make the Universal Healthcare System work, at all, nobody can be allowed to have any form of insurance that is superior to the National Healthcare Program.

What about clandestine healthcare? You know... sneaking around to find a doctor who will treat you for a fee, off the books and out of sight of the government. Well, if you seek out a doctor, and have an examination, and pay the doc in cash, you and the doctor could both go to jail!

If you think medical care is bad now, wait until we have Obama’s national health insurance program. If you think government is intrusive now… just wait for “Obamacare.” Our every move will be monitored, and the government will direct us in every facet of our lives. To some of you that will be comforting, I’m sure. But to those of us who feel responsible for our own lives and take responsibility for them, it is pure, unadulterated horror! If you think the government is intrusive in your life now... just wait... you ain't seen nothing yet!

There is just so much to understand about how a national healthcare system would work that most Americans will never understand it... until it is too late and we are saddled with this horror from hell! It has become obvious, to those of us who actually pay attention to what our government is doing, that Obama, and his cohorts in Congress, plan to push the national healthcare bill (Obamacare) as hard and as fast as they can through the Congress before you and I can read the small print. Many, if not most, of the Congresspersons and Senators will NEVER read it all. And yes, they WILL vote on it without ever having read it.

It is time, actually it is past time, for all Americans who love freedom, to write, call, fax, telegram, or e-mail their Congressperson and Senators and urge them to fight against a National Healthcare Program bill that will suffocate the remaining freedom we have as Americans. There is not a minute to lose. The democrats are planning to make an attempt at running this thing through Congress at a record breaking speed to defy any chance you may have of acquainting yourself with what is in the actual bill itself.

Don't be suckered again, America! Universal healthcare is not democracy. It is socialism. Universal healthcare is not about healthcare. It is about power for the ruling class.

It is time to get your back up and act as an American. Playing the part of a wimp is Un-American! And lying down and rolling over for a Congress and a President whose intention is to acquire all the power possible for themselves at the expense of the common, everyday, American is skullduggery at the lowest level. And THAT, dear reader, is exactly what is going on in Washington today!

It is time to reclaim that which is rightfully ours... our freedom!

Secret Trials and Continued Rendition the Obama Way!

Secret Trials and Continued Rendition the Obama Way!
By J. D. Longstreet

*********************

What the heck is going on in Obama’s Oval Office? Is there something in the White House water? Here, of late, Obama’s actions tend to resemble, more and more, those of his predecessor, George W. Bush.

Remember Obama criticizing Bush for those Military Tribunals used to try captured terrorists… many of whom were/are incarcerated at Gitmo?? If you remember the campaign, to hear Obama tell it, why, it was terrible… truly awful to subject those poor terrorists to “secret” trials!

Well, guess what? Obama, himself, has approved “secret trials” for those same prisoners. Basically, all Obama has done is change the name of the court.

Under the Obama regime, they will not be Military Tribunals. It has been reported that the Obama administration may support the establishment of something called a “National Security Court,”, which will be, as we understand it, a court, within the civilian court system, to try Guantanamo prisoners and other alleged terrorists. But… the trials will be secret! So… is this hypocrisy, or political correctness… or both? It looks to us as if all the Obama administration will have done is… change the name of the court and change the judges clothing from military uniforms to civvies!

Look, Military Tribunals are as old as the country itself. (actually older) They became especially useful to the US government during, and immediately after, the American Civil War. The point is… there is nothing new about the use of Military Tribunals by the US.

In the sort of trials necessary, when trying “enemy combatants,” certain “facts” out of necessity, must be, and will be, brought out in testimony. Included will be certain information, which if made public in a public trial would, without doubt, give aid to the enemies of the US. There is no doubt the enemy would use it against us in their covert war, and even their overt war, resulting in the deaths of more Americans. So, the US cannot allow this information to be made public. No country can allow that.

There must, of necessity, be a way to try these individuals without endangering the lives of Americans or compromising the security of the country. There is. They are called Military Tribunals.

Obama continually complained about the use of those military tribunals and vowed to get rid of them if elected. Well, he was elected.

It can be an amazing transformation to watch someone who has only a portion of the truth suddenly change his public stance on an issue… once he has all the facts, isn’t it? As President Obama was suddenly included “in the loop.” apparently, it became clear to him that the trials of those terrorists must be kept secret. But, he had to save face as well. So, the idea of the National Security Court is being floated around, in our opinion, only as a way to avoid embarrassment for Obama. In our opinion, Obama couldn’t make himself look anymore foolish than he already did by making such a naive vow to get rid of the Military Tribunals! It was just a dumb thing to say when he only had a portion of the facts at hand. Again, the National Security Court, if it becomes reality, will be nothing more than a “CYA move” by the Obama administration… nothing more.

What about rendition? That is the practice of shipping the prisoners overseas to prisons in countries friendly to the US, but countries that do not hew as closely to the “no torture type of inquisition” of prisoners as does the US. Well, under the new Obama rules, guess what? The renditions will continue!

There is some talk that the prisoners may be shipped to prisons in their homelands, whenever possible. Sounds humane, now doesn’t it. Well, maybe. But consider the systems of justice in many of the prisoner’s homelands. I mean, some of them don’t worry a great deal about “prisoner’s rights.” Their methods haven’t change much since, oh, about the 12th century. Some of them still practice beheading! But putting them in prisons in their homelands SOUNDS nice to our liberal brethren and sisteren.

Don’t you just hate it when someone thinks you are gullible enough to buy into the empty promises of politicians, any politician, especially when they are so arrogant as to be blatantly obvious about putting the lie to those promises as soon as they are sworn into office? Oh, wait! 53 % of the American electorate did just that!

The election of Obama was a victory for ignorance in America. As we watch the Obama appointments for the various government agencies in the Obama administration forced to take their names out of consideration, for one reason or another, Americans are getting out of bed each morning, pouring that first cup of coffee, and anxiously opening their morning newspapers to acquaint themselves with the latest Obama blunder. Less than a month in office and the Obama administration has become a joke. But 47% of the American electorate isn’t laughing!

Here are two articles in which you may be interested..

From the LA Times entitled:"Obama preserves renditions as counter-terrorism tool"
You'll find it HERE.

And this one from the World Socialist Website entitled: ""Obama's orders leave framework of torture, indefinite detention intact"
You'll find it HERE.

Iran Launches Space Mission: What's Next?

By Maggie M. Thornton


As Germany, the U.S., Britain, China, France and Russia meet in Germany this week to brainstorm scuttling Iran's nuclear goals, Iran sent them a shot across the bow. They launched a Safir-2 rocket with satellite, successfully, into space. The Heritage Foundation tells us only ten countries have done so to date. Perhaps we are ambivalent about this acheivement, but it is time to wake up and smell the saffron.

The range of a Safir-2 is estimated to be 1500 miles - long enough to reach Egypt, Israel, Turkey and Saudi Arabia. No need to feel secure though, because Iran has a more powerful and longer range missile already in it's arsenal - the Shahab-3.

Iran's launch yesterday showed the bottoms of their soul-less shoes to the free world - just as the thwarting of U.N. resolutions have done.

Do we think Iran has no interest in a nuclear-laden ICBMs with a bulls-eye set on America?

Quoting President Obama (read the entire transcript and see the video here):

I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems.
I will not weaponize space.
I will slow our development of future combat systems.

I will set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons.
To seek that goal, I will not develop new nuclear weapons.

I will negotiate with Russian to take our ICBM's off air-trigger alert,...

Read how Europe is reporting Obama's plans today.

Live Free or Die!

Cross Posted from The Lonely Conservative

Live Free or Die! That’s the motto of the State of New Hampshire. They really take their motto seriously up there in New Hampshire.

This morning at work I was listening to the Mike Church show and nearly did a cartwheel in the middle of the office when I heard about this. New Hampshire House Resolution 6 is a resolution affirming States’ rights based on Jeffersonian principles.

You should really read the whole document. It’s wonderful! Share it with your own state legislature (ha-here in NY they’d be more interested in a resolution based on Marxist instead of Jeffersonian philosophy, but we can still try). In summary:

That any Act by the Congress of the United States, Executive Order of the President of the United States of America or Judicial Order by the Judicatories of the United States of America which assumes a power not delegated to the government of United States of America by the Constitution for the United States of America and which serves to diminish the liberty of the any of the several States or their citizens shall constitute a nullification of the Constitution for the United States of America by the government of the United States of
America. Acts which would cause such a nullification include, but are not limited to:

I. Establishing martial law or a state of emergency within one of the States comprising the United States of America without the consent of the legislature of that State.

II. Requiring involuntary servitude, or governmental service other than a draft during a declared war, or pursuant to, or as an alternative to, incarceration after due process of law.

III. Requiring involuntary servitude or governmental service of persons under the age of 18 other than pursuant to, or as an alternative to, incarceration after due process of law.

IV. Surrendering any power delegated or not delegated to any
corporation or foreign government.

V. Any act regarding religion; further limitations on freedom of political speech; or further limitations on freedom of
the press.

VI. Further infringements on the right to keep and bear arms
including prohibitions of type or quantity of arms or ammunition; and

That should any such act of Congress become law or Executive Order or Judicial Order be put into force, all powers previously delegated to the United States of America by the Constitution for the United States shall revert to the several
States individually. Any future government of the United States of America shall require ratification of three quarters of the States seeking to form a government of the United States of America and shall not be binding upon any State not seeking to form such a government; and

That copies of this resolution be transmitted by the house clerk to the President of the United States, each member of the United States Congress, and the presiding officers of each State’s legislature.

The federal government needs a reminder that it was created by the States and can be abolished by the States.

I Do Not Hate Obama!

I Do Not Hate Obama!
J. D. Longstreet
*********************

A few days ago, a dear friend, who happens to be a liberal, accused me
of hating Obama. At first I was shocked. Then I began to reason it out
and came to understand that the intolerance, within which the liberal
left lives, would certainly trigger that extreme response to one who
simply does not agree with another man’s political philosophy.

I do not hate Obama. I don’t even KNOW the guy! What I DO know and what
I DO hate is his socialist political philosophy. You know, I might even
lighten up a bit on socialism if it were not a proven fact of history
that it destroys nations and rots free men’s souls. It is the most
cruel of all political philosophies on the earth currently. Some day
there might be something worse, but, frankly, I cannot see how anything
short of Satan, himself, setting up rule on earth that could possibly
be any worse that socialism and Obama is the leader of the socialist
movement in America today, by right of his having gained the office of
President of the United States.

It is Mr. Obama’s socialism I hate.

Of course, he has many other failings. He is quite likely the most
naive President this country has ever had. He has, indisputably, a
“Messiah Complex”. The Messiah Complex is said to be the will, the
intention, and yes, the compulsion to be a messiah, to be the redeemer
and savior of the world. Surely you have seen this complex in Mr.
Obama. And this is what makes it so troubling: The messianic wish is
not just a wish to improve things generally for the better, but the
wish of that person with the complex TO BE, personally, the messiah,
the redeemer, of the world.

People with the messiah complex are dangerous. You see, if a group of
people considers an individual to be a messiah, that person doesn't
actually have to claim to be a messiah himself. But if he is treated as
such, by his followers, then he can, rightly, be said to be a person
with a Messiah Complex. Confusing, what? What you then have… is a cult.
I think it is safe to say we have a national cult built around Mr.
Obama in this country today… and it is headed toward disaster.

Mr. Obama strikes me as a person with a strong Inferiority Complex, as
well. As such, he must (he is compelled to) continually prove his
superiority. In an individual this can lead to all sorts of trouble. In
an individual who happens to be a leader of a nation it can lead to
national disaster. All one has to do is look to the history of the
nation of Germany to learn how a leader with a monstrous inferiority
complex can lead a nation to ruin.

I can’t see how anyone, having observed the outpouring of love for the
man, (or messiah) Obama, during the two years of campaigning leading up
to his election can possible deny there is an Obama cult in America.
What makes it doubly dangerous is the fact that it has, indeed, become
a national cult very similar to that in Germany in the 1930’s.

Then, there is Mr. Obama’s globalist view. His IS a globalist.
Globalists believe... at their core, in global governance… a one world
government. That is another Utopian idea of the leftists, the Marxists
and the Socialists

Having said all this... let me reemphasize that Mr. Obama’s overt
socialism troubles me more than any of the other problems of this, in
my opinion, deeply flawed man. Of all his problems this is the one that
will bring the most pain and suffering to the people of this nation.

It is some comfort to know that 46% of the electorate of this country
were not taken in by the slick packaging of Mr. Obama, which played on
his would be messiah image. That means that a little less than half of
the electorate have not loss their grasp on reality.

The question now is... how long before the cult, which has sprung up
around Mr,. Obama, will turn on him? And turn on him they will, for he
certainly cannot fulfill their hopes and dreams and the incredibly high
expectations they have of their "messiah".

Mr. Obama is doomed to failure. I hate the effects of what will happen
between the people of the Obama cult and the sane people in this
country when Obama’s failure becomes so acute that even the mouthpiece
of the Democratic Party, the Mainstream Media, will not be able to
cover it up with their reams of propaganda.

No, I don’t hate Mr. Obama. I hate what he stands for and what he
represents… mainly socialism.

Obama Prepares To Talk With Iran; Israel Prepares To Attack

Obama Prepares To Talk With Iran; Israel Prepares To Attack

J. D. Longstreet

As it becomes more and more likely that the Obama regime is going to embrace Iran, Israel appears to have given up any hope it had that the US, under Obama, would be a real friend to Israel and assist in Israel’s coming attack on the Persian nation to destroy their Atom Bomb making capabilities.

With Israel’s election a little less than two weeks away now it is looking more likely that our favorite Benjamin Netanyahu is going to be the next Prime Minister of Israel. A former Israeli Special Forces officer, Bebe Netanyahu is no push over and he seems always ready for a fight. He will not hold back from a preemptive strike against Iran.

Netanyahu said last week the World Economic Forum he said that neutralizing Iran's leaders would reduce the danger posed to Israel and others by Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah militants in south Lebanon. "We have had two wars with two Iranian proxies in two years and Persia has now two bases on the eastern Mediterranean," said Netanyahu. He went on to say: “"I think we are going to have to deal with neutralizing the power of the mother regime." The “mother regime,” of course, is the country of Iran, itself.

The new US Secretary of State is going to have her hands full with Bebe. Mrs. Clinton may be smart, but Netanyahu is no slouch in the brains department and he is quick on his feet and a fighter to boot. And, unlike so many world leaders today, including “The Obama”, Netanyahu is not fooling himself as to Iran’s actions nor Iran’s intentions once she possess the atom bomb. Netanyahu said: "We have never had, since the dawn of the nuclear age, nuclear weapons in the hands of such a fanatical regime,”. He said Iran’s possession of the nuclear bomb is the world’s greatest challenge at the start of this new century

Hamas, according to Netanyahu, will never be at peace with Israel. He questions what kind of agenda Israel can have with an organization that seeks to wipe Israel from the face of the planet. Netanyahu insists that stopping Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons ranks above dealing with the meltdown of the world’s economy, explaining that the economy problems are reversible, but Iran obtaining nuclear weapons is not.

You’ll find an excellent article on this HERE.

Meantime, back at the ranch… here in the states, of course, Obama's aides have drafted a letter in his name to Iranian leaders that aims to thaw relations between the two countries. This is according to an article in “The Guardian”, a British Newspaper. The Guardian goes on to say that at least three drafts of the letter have been composed. The report says the letter seeks to assure the Iranian leaders that the US does not want to change the regime in Iran, the US merely seeks to change the behavior of the Persian state.

Although the letter will be addressed to the Iranian people it will be sent directly to Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, or it may be released as an just an open letter.

Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is calling for an apology, from the US, for what it feels are past wrongs done to Iran by the US. Ahmadinejad is quoted as having said: "Those who say they want to make change, this is the change they should make: They should apologize to the Iranian nation and try to make up for their dark background and the crimes they have committed against the Iranian nation,"

So, as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton begins her tenure in office and she cannot look forward to dealing with these two hot spots on the map. She should understand that, hopefully, with Netanyahu at the helm in Israel, Israel will do pretty much what she chooses simply because the Israeli government does not trust the Obama government. Israel will not be seeking guidance or input from the US when it comes to matters of Israel’s national security.

As far as Iran is concerned… Iran is going to do whatever it wants regardless of what the US promises, even after an apology from the US. Iran wants to see the US grovel as it did during the Carter administration. Ahmadinejad is convinced the US has another Carter in the White House and, on that, we agree with Ahmadinejad.

If we could make a simple suggestion to the Obama regime, which would solve both problems at once, we would suggest that the US shut up, and get out of Israel’s way and allow the IDF to take care of the Persian Problem. But don’t hold your breath. With a Prima Donna in the White House and another at the office of Sec. State they are not about to allow anything to happen without their very public fingerprints all over it. After all, whatever it is, it is, first and foremost, about them!

Freedom’s Dream is Not Dead! ... by J. D. Longstreet

Freedom’s Dream is Not Dead!

J. D. Longstreet

******************************

Now let’s see: Afghanistan, Iraq, Egypt, and yes, even Lebanon, to some degree. All these nations are on their way to becoming democratic.

So “war solves nothing”, huh? Care to rethink you position on that? I thought not. When one entrenches oneself into self doubt as deeply as the peaceniks have, it is nigh impossible to extract them. So, we will simply overlook them, as we have always done. They line the fringes of our society, anyway.

No one likes war. But, contrary to what the peaceniks tell us, war does bring change for the better. Ask the Brits, the French, the Germans the Belgium’s, the Jews…. and the list goes on. (The French may still be too arrogant to admit it, but, regardless of what they tell themselves, the remainder of the world knows they exist as a nation only because of the efforts of US and allied servicemen in two world wars.)

War changes things. The Middle East, for better or for worse, is changed forever. The US has a beachhead in the Middle East and we will be there forever. We are not going to leave. As the democracies begin to shape up, and form up, and freedom begins to spread, those who hold the dictator’s reins now will find themselves out of a job. Those who would hold the Middle East back in the 14^th century will find they, alone, are left in the past. The people are going to move on to liberty and freedom. One a people have tasted freedom. It is not possible to strip them of it again.

Now we can only hope that liberty will blossom, and bloom, in the Middle East. If it does it will be the US to thank. The US took a stand in the Middle East when the rest of the world would not. The US alone had a vision of a free people who would seek after democracy. Old Europe, now irrelevant, stood on the sidelines as history passed them by. There they will remain. What they do, or say is of no consequence to anyone but themselves. It is sad to see a continent commit suicide.

In the meantime, America marches on. Ronald Reagan’s dream of America as a great “shining city on a hill” is in deep peril with the current administration of socialists in charge both in the White House and in the Congress. Among conservative Americans, Reagan’s dream still perseveres. We conservatives still believe that Reagan’s dream is, in fact, the last hope of a world, which lost its way. We include America among those nations that have lost their way today. It is truly sad.
