Jerry Kane has posted a great article at American Daughter by that name. I strongly advise you read it, then call your Senator.
Hate crimes legislation has its roots in the communist-inspired, so-called Frankfurt School founded in Frankfurt, Germany by Bolsheviks in the 1920s. One of its leading lights, Herbert Marcuse, opined that the prevailing Western social order is repressive by definition and discriminates against minorities simply by existing. This creates a phenomenon he called "repressive tolerance" because even though other views are allowed within Western culture, the majority view is still permitted. It goes without saying that Marcuse considered that to be unacceptable.
Instead, he proposed what he called "partisan tolerance," i.e. tolerating the views of those "repressed minorities" only, while completely shutting out the views of the majority.
So now we have a word for Democrats' eyepopping hypocrisy when they wrap themselves in the mantle of free speech while simultaneously attempting to suppress conservative, or even just plain American, expression. So now we have an explanation for why so many college campuses, supposedly the society's heart of open-minded intellectual inquiry, actively, even violently intimidate conservative speakers - when they let them onto campus at all. They have been practicing "partisan tolerance."
Marcuse came to the U.S. in the 1930s and was brought here by none other than Edward R. Murrow under a program to resettle intellectuals facing Nazi repression. According to Wikipedia, Marcuse worked at the OSS, the State Department and taught at Columbia, Harvard and Brandeis. He has been called the "Father of the New Left" and it is easy to see his Frankfurt School influence in speech codes that dominate today's college campuses.
The Frankfurt School was dedicated to the destruction of the West. One of its founders stated "We will make the West so corrupt it stinks." It explains so much of today's sick popular culture.
So this is the last piece in the Manufactured Crisis puzzle. It seems apparent from Kane's article that "Hate Crimes" legislation is the vehicle by which free speech will be permanently silenced in America. And after that, the thugs will be firmly in charge.
You need look no further for proof that Marcuse's "cultural Marxists" are in charge in Washington now. Since it is their intention to destroy this country, intellectual appeals to them will fall on deaf ears. The only recourse is to lobby Senate Republicans and those few remaining Democrats with a shred of integrity, if indeed there are any.
We are witnessing the death of our country.

IAF Hones Edges For Massive Attack On Iranian Nuclear Facilities?

IAF Hones Edges For Massive Attack On Iranian Nuclear Facilities?

It is difficult to see what is going on when one’s head is buried in the sand. Not only is it an exercise in futility for those who CHOOSE to be “sight challenged”, but it forces one to present a rather inviting target to others who may be coveting an opportunity to inflict pain surreptitiously.
We are speaking, of course, of our European neighbors on this planet, and other nations, as well, including those of the UN, who refuse to believe that Israel is going to attack Iran’s nuclear facilities.
I, on the other hand, believe Israel will attack Iran and, I believe the plans have long since been made and, I suspect deeply, that Israeli agents are on the ground in Iran and have been for months, busily identifying targets and laying in coordinates of said targets and other odds and ends required for a successful air attack with smart bombs, and bunker busters, of the latest types, including those with delayed fusing and deeper penetration, etc.
Now, I have no “inside” source, no source “close to the top” or any of that sort of journalistic “mumbo-jumbo” speak. What I do have is a country boy’s intuition gained and honed from long hours in the woods and swamps of the Carolinas hunting game and observing the sundry ways the prey will try to avoid being “bagged”. These same rules of nature apply when a nation suspects it is about to be bagged by another ~ and ~ when the hunter nation prepares to make the prey’s worse nightmare’s come true.
When one does that, it becomes as evident as daylight that Israel is preparing to strike Iran~ and~ Iran knows it~ and is trying to prepare itself while it maintains a façade of “What? Me Worry?” around themselves as they prepare to be ripped apart by Israeli bombs.
Recently, Israel took part in military exercises at Gibraltar, a British colony at the mouth of the Mediterranean Sea. That colony just happens to be some 3800 miles from Israel. The distances involved are very nearly the same as those the Israeli Air force would have to deal with in an attack on Iran. A coincidence? Hardly. In today’s military world, especially the military world of the Middle East, coincidence is extremely rare.
As the Obama Administration seems dead set against assisting Israel in it’s effort to save the life of it’s nation, of it’s home, the IDF is doing something it does better than any other military on the planet. They improvise. One of the biggest roadblocks to an Israeli bombing raid on Iran is the distance. Getting the Israeli aircraft to Iran, make the bombing runs, and make it back to Israel is almost impossible. I interjected the word “ALMOST” because this is Israel we’re talking about! These are the military folks who took the world’s best tank and made it better. These are the people who took one of the world’s best fighter/attack aircraft and made it better. They still have that “can do” spirit about them and they seem to be able to channel it in the direction that will help their country survive. And make no mistake about it… we are talking about the survival of Israel as a nation!
Look, the Middle East is about to explode into a third world war. The people who study such things are looking at Pakistan with dread these days as the Taliban draw ever closer with their probing battles in and around Pakistan’s capital and strategic facilities. Soon, they will be ready… and they will take the country of Pakistan and, with it, they get a ready made nuclear arsenal. That’s right! The world’s terrorists will have nuclear bombs!
Israel cannot sit around while the Obama Administration “talks” with Iran to gain some sort of diplomatic “brownie points.” No, Israel has to take Iran off the table, ASAP, and prepare for whatever ELSE the world’s terrorists have planned for her AFTER THEY, TOO, have THE BOMB. (Do not think, for one moment, the Taliban will not be distributing atomic bombs to fellow terrorists around the world, for they most certainly will.)
Just as 2 + 2 = 4 in basic math… basic reckoning tells us that Israel + Gibraltar = IRAN. I am satisfied that Israel has solved the attack aircraft re-fueling problems and the Raid on Iran is one step, a HUGE step, closer.

Obama Plan to Destroy Israel: Two State Solution
by Maggie at Maggie's Notebook
28 years after Carter was removed from office, we're in reruns again with the Obama Administration, which is not only following the Carter line, but whose plans greatly exceed it. 28 years ago, Wahhabi Sunni and Shiite terrorists were generally an afterthought when compared to the standard USSR backed Marxist terrorist groups, such as the PLO.
Today, thanks in part to the Carter Administration, they control several countries and have designs on several more. From Pakistan to Afghanistan, from Gaza to Lebanon, from the Middle East to Southeast Asia, the threat is very real and bigger than ever particularly as the race by both Sunni and Shiite groups to build and deploy nuclear weapons continues.
Like Carter before him, Obama has chosen to cut backdoor deals with the Mullahs in Iran, offering them power over Iraq and Afghanistan, in exchange for quieting things down enough to let him hang up a Mission Accomplished banner and pull the troops out. "Peace with honor", preferably before the next election. The rape law for Shiites in Afghanistan, the push for a US funded Hamas/Fatah Unity government in the territories and the rising expansion of the Taliban are all fruits of this arrangement.
If Iran is to be our new best friend under this arrangement, Israel is to be our new best enemy.
Obama stacked the deck by deploying Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State in a position that gave her an important title, but absolutely no power to go with it, while stacking the National Security Council and even the Pentagon with oil appointees in the pockets of the Saudis or his own left wing radical friends.
Israel electing a conservative government really put the ball into play, freeing up even more resources for attacking Israel. The strategy runs something like this.
The Obama Administration has broken down the Israel problem into two subsections, Israel itself, and American Jews.
Obama's people have studied the problem and understand where Carter went wrong. Obama does not want to have the same image problems as Carter in the Jewish community. Should that happen, the Beloved Leader and his lapdog press are fully prepared to unleash a Chavez style hate-on targeting American Jews. But that would be inconvenient and messy. Even with the changing face of America, there are significant differences between the average American and European or Venezuelan, and what kind of ugliness they are willing to tolerate. So Obama's people have split their attention in handling the two factors as two different problems.
American Jews - Obama has been clever about putting his Jewish appointees front and center. Like many minorities, some American Jews suffer from self-esteem problems that are soothed when they see a seeming acceptance. Of course what they fail to realize is that exploitation is not acceptance. And that Obama's appointees are creatures of his backers, Nazi collaborators like Soros, who have nothing but contempt for Jews, individually or collectively.
While outwardly courting Jews, Obama's people have also been quietly shoving Jewish organizations and their leaders into a corner. Within the Jewish organizational world there has been a silent but deadly takeover of major Jewish groups by left wing radicals. Former alumni of the far left wing and anti-Israel groups like Breira or Coname in the 70's have been elevated to key positions in such organizations as the UJA Federation. Behind the scenes any Jewish leaders who expressed even doubts about Obama during the primaries were intimidated and silenced.
Much as with conservatives, a list has been drawn up of those figures who can be won over, and those who cannot. The ones who can be won over are described as "moderates", the ones who cannot be won over are described as "extremists".
Meanwhile a bevvy of left wing Jewish In Name Only groups have been organized to play their part. Key among them is the Soros funded J Street, a group created as an anti-Israel lobby meant to eventually replace AIPAC. Meanwhile AIPAC itself has been kept on the ropes with such things as the well timed Harman leak. The message once again is fairly clear, cooperate and keep quiet, or we'll destroy you.
The multi-layered approach to American Jews can then be summed up as follows;
1.) Co-opt existing Jewish organizations and swing them to the left using old school 70's leftists.
2.) Create new "progressive" organizations to appeal to a younger generation of ethnically Jewish youth detached from any actual identity. Have these organizations generate attacks on the Israeli government and pro-Israel Jews, while creating phony polls indicating that most American Jews are behind them and Obama.
3.) Silence and intimidate remaining Jewish organizations and leaders behind the scenes.
The overall idea is to keep a happy face pasted on American Jewry while the knives are out in the dark.
Israel - The basic understanding in the Obama Administration is that Israel Must Go. In the worldview of the more moderate Obama appointees, Israel is a destabilizing factor in the Middle East. To the more left wing Obama advisors, Israel is a Western imperialist colonialist state that must be destroyed in the name of revolutionary justice. To the Islamist mindset, Israel is a Kufir state that has no right to exist in the Dar Al Islam.
While intractably hostile to Israel, the Obama Administration wants to avoid the kind of public confrontations that marked the Carter and Bush Sr administrations. Instead they would much rather model the way that the Clinton Administration waged a quiet war against Israel, removing one government, and forcing extensive concessions to terrorists, all the while keeping a happy face pasted on the whole affair.
On the one hand that means avoiding harsh public attacks on Israel, but keeping the pressure up for Israel to make extensive far reaching one sided concessions, to accept Saudi and Arab League "peace plans", to legitimize Hamas as the new government of the Palestinian Authority, and to insure that Israel does not reply to any rocket or terrorist attacks.
There are two forms of quiet leverage that the United States has on Israel, the first is financial and the second is military.
On the financial side, the goal will be to bring down the Netanyahu government coalition by destabilizing Israel economically. This is the surest and most direct path to bringing down Israel's conservative government and replacing it with a left of center coalition. The Obama Administration has a wide variety of tactics at its disposal for doing so, from the overt, such as targeting Israeli exports and imports, to the covert, that would involve targeting the Shekel. Additionally fundraising in the US could be investigated and groups such as the Jewish National Fund, prevented from raising money in the US. All of these have been in play before at one time or another.
On the military side, Obama's people will make their non-existent efforts to stop Iran's nukes conditional on more concessions to terrorists. Since Israel will never be able to make enough concessions and since Obama is working with Iran, rather than working to stop Iran's nukes, this is a hollow charade.
Furthermore while Israel has already been locked out of the military technology pipeline for anything cutting edge, it still remains dependent on US military equipment for parts and supplies. The decades of US foreign aid have also served to create dependency. Unlike many other countries, including even Sweden, Israel does not have its own jet fighter. Israel's Air Force is heavily dependent on US weapons, parts and equipment. Cutting Israel off, would leave the Israeli military dangerously vulnerable in the case of a war. This is an effective chokehold that has been used before to prevent Israel from attacking Saddam Hussein during the Gulf War, as well as preventing Israel from carrying out a preemptive strike against its enemies before the Yom Kippur War.
The overall Obama policy will be to push Israel to the brink, using financial and military blackmail against the Netanyahu government, while maintaining control over American Jews to prevent any protests or backtalk.
The more Israel will offer, the more the Obama Administration will tighten the screws. No offer will be good enough, and Israel will be blamed for every breakdown in talks and every bit of violence that takes place. The media will portray Israel and particularly Netanyahu as extremist and intransigent. Hamas will be slowly whitewashed in the media, the same way that Arafat's goons were, (assuming that they prove more willing to cooperate in creating a positive media image of themselves than Ahmadinejad is.)
The plan is to destroy Israel, and to do it by pushing Israel to the edge of the cliff and then over the cliff. Israel's enemies will be getting top of the line US military equipment. Israel will not. Israel will be squeezed economically until the Netanyahu government collapses, leaving a weak left wing leader like Livni in charge of Israel, and in charge of acceding to the new Pharaoh's demands.
Meanwhile so-called American Jewish groups will support Obama all the way, some because they were created precisely for that purpose, e.g. J-Street, and others because they have been hijacked, cowed or subverted.
That is the game plan and some of it's coming. The rest is already here.
The following offers deep insight into the world's quest for a two state solution agreement between Israel and Palestine. Put your thinking cap on and delve in.
Obama's Plan to Destroy Israel
by Sultan Knish
If there's one thing that the Carter Administration can be given credit for, it's creating the new wave of Islamist terrorism, both Sunni, operating out of Afghanistan, and Shiite, operating out of Iran. The Carter Administration cracked down on Israel and put its "faith" in Muslim terrorists, who then went on to wage war on America, even while Carter was in office.
Today, thanks in part to the Carter Administration, they control several countries and have designs on several more. From Pakistan to Afghanistan, from Gaza to Lebanon, from the Middle East to Southeast Asia, the threat is very real and bigger than ever particularly as the race by both Sunni and Shiite groups to build and deploy nuclear weapons continues.

America NEEDS a Third Party… NOW!
America NEEDS a Third Party… NOW!
By: J. D. Longstreet
*******************************
We have heard it said that a third party in America doesn’t stand a chance and that the only hope for conservatives is to stay in the Republican Party and work to change it.
*******************************
We have heard it said that a third party in America doesn’t stand a chance and that the only hope for conservatives is to stay in the Republican Party and work to change it.
Although, that is a good argument, I hold that it is wrong.
It is correct, I believe that a conservative party will not elect anyone to the Congress or to the White house for a few years, maybe a couple of decades, even, but, here’s the thing, as I see it. As a stand-alone party, we will take a huge chunk of the numbers from the GOP… and a few from the dems. So, when there is a major push on by one party, or the other, to pass a piece of legislation, they are going to need our support to get it done. That means they will have to court us, to woo us, if you will. That alone will give us the voice, and the influence; we do not have, as of today, in the way our government is run.
There is much to be said for being a member of a political party of which one can be proud. Ok. So we don’t have our own congressman/woman or senator or president for a while. Do we have one now???, I mean REALLY?
I have been a Republican since I registered on my 21st birthday in South Carolina. I am now 68 years old. (Even before I was old enough to register to vote I was out beating the bushes for Strom Thurman.) When Thurman went Republican, so did South Carolina.
I am ashamed of what the GOP has become. I know it is trite, but it IS true that there is almost no difference between the dems and repubs anymore. That is NOT good for the country. That is why, if for no other reason, a third party is so badly needed. The American electorate NEEDS an alternative to the two old, stale, parties. They have led this country into socialism and that is the “death knell” for democracy.
The Tea Parties, held across America, are an excellent way to forge a foundation of like mined Americans interested in rescuing America from the clutches of the socialists who now have a strangle hold on our government, financial system, our auto industry, and soon… our healthcare industry. When do we say enough is enough and begin to fight back. Waiting on the GOP to fight the socialists is wasted time. It is not going to happen. No, the rescue of America must be done from a separate platform, not the republican platform.

No, the rescue of America must be done from a separate platform, not the republican platform.
It has been said that the Democrats and the Republicans, the two major parties in America, construct such formidable barriers to third parties that third party voting occurs only under extreme circumstances. Well, look around you; if current circumstances aren’t “extreme” in America today… then I don’t know the meaning of “extreme.”
There is no question the republicans and the democrats will throw everything they have at a third party, erect every kind of barrier they can to block that party’s way, and make every effort to steal (They would call it “co-opting”) popular ideas and positions of a third party. It has proven, over the years, to be an effective way to stifle a third party.
On the other hand we can sit back and watch our beloved country go the way of so many others through out history, and that is… to rest atop the ash heap of said history, or, we can TRY to save her.
One of our Founding Fathers, Thomas Jefferson, once said: "My God! How little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possession of, and which no other people on earth enjoy!” Mr. Jefferson was correct then… and… he could make that same statement today and be just as correct.

I hope we conservatives will not allow our country to remain in the hands of the socialists now in charge. For socialism, like a disease, eats away at the soul of a country until that country dies.
The next few years are going to be hellish for conservatives as we watch the slow agonizing death of our country. We can sit on the sidelines and watch; we can remain in the Republican Party and hope for change within the GOP, (That option, I’m afraid is the same as sitting on the sidelines and watching!) or, we can TRY to create a third party, a “rescue” party, if you will, and make an effort, at least, to save this country we love so much.
What will it be, conservatives? What will it be?

British Female Judge Converts to Islam - Video
by Maggie at Maggie's Notebook
A female District Judge in Britain, Marilyn Mornington, has converted to Islam. She specializes in violence against women and child abuse, and specifically abuse against women in the Muslim community. She involved herself in the lives of Muslims to learn more about it. She says as she began to read the Koran she had no choice in the matter. I believe she is saying it was inevitable that she would convert. She mentions that someone (name is inaudible) "had his eyes on me." If you know who she is talking about, please leave a comment. See the video below.
Mornington is talking to Imam Hamza Yusuf, an American. He teaches at the Zaytuna Institute in California. He was born Mark Hanson in Walla Walla, Washington, and converted to Islam at the age of 17.
One blessing is that we can choose how or if we will worship, and who we will worship. This lady has every right to convert, but I have to wonder, who will do the mediating for her when Islamic violence dogs her every step. What if she changes her mind? No chance of leaving Islam - and especially for a woman.
And, as a side note, can't you imagine how a Brit will feel standing in court in front of this woman?
Watch the two women looking on as this Judge speaks. By the way, have you ever seen a Muslim woman wearing yellow or red burqas? Perhaps these are not technically burqa's??? Have you ever seen a Muslim woman flaunting blonde bangs? Any color bangs?
Thank you to Holger Awakens

****************************
Here we go again! The fight for the Supreme Court. The control of which is, in all probability, the most important in the American government. Why? Because the Court has the power to tell you and me exactly what the US Constitution REALLY says.
No matter that the Constitution, as written is, in fact, easily understood. The men who wrestled over the original wording of that document made every effort to make it easily understood. That was an important, if not THE MOST important, part of their mission. And they completed it beautifully. So far, no other country has been able to duplicate it in its simplicity and its beauty. Not to mention its power. The only country to come close was the Confederate States of America. If you take the time to read the CSA Constitution, you will see that it is basically the US Constitution with some minor changes. For instance, the President of the Confederacy was limited to one six year term. Plus, you must factor in that one of the reasons those 11 states, and parts of two others, left the Union was because the original constitution was being trashed then, come to think of it, very much as it is being trashed today …by the very same government.
Supreme Court Justices are the most important reason we choose which political party will lead America. For “yours truly” considering how the presidential candidate will choose justices for the Supreme Court is the deciding factor for my vote.
Of the three branches of the US government, for all intents and purposes, the Supreme Court is the most powerful branch of our government. It is they who decide if what the Congress does is legal. They decide if what the President does, or proposes, is legal or is not legal.
One need not be a lawyer or a judge to be a US Supreme Court Justice. One needn’t have read a single page of a single law book to be a US Supreme Court Justice in the US. One only needs to be approved by the US Senate. It’s referred to as the “advice and consent” of the Senate. What it really means, of course, is a majority vote of the Senate. Because the Constitution does not set any qualifications for service as a Justice, the President may nominate anyone to serve. As a result, there have been some major screwups in appointments to the court. Indeed, the justice stepping down in June, Souter, was thought, by the President who appointed him, President George H. W. Bush, to be a conservative. He turned out to be anything BUT a conservative. Many of his votes on the court have given conservatives nightmares.
If you are thinking there is a chance to get a conservative, or a moderate, onto the Court this time, do not delude yourself. It isn’t going to happen. Mr. Obama will get whomever he chooses. That is a given, unless that nominee is found to have committed treason… and that might give the majority in the Senate a moment of “pause” and then… they will vote for him or her. The point is Obama WILL get the nominee of his choice approved by the Senate.
So far the Obama administration has managed to hold back a slew of controversial projects that those on the left, and the ultra-left, are foaming at the mouth to get out into the open and onto the floor of both the House and the Senate. Things like a new immigration policy. Basically a new immigration policy, to the Obama people, means “let ‘em in and give ‘em citizenship so they can vote for the democratic candidate. Then there is the “gays in the military” policy change. To the Obama people that means the same thing as a new immigartion policy… let ‘em in so they will vote for the democratic candidate. (They haven’t a clue as to the damage they will do to the US military by this single action. It will decimate the ranks first thing. Enlistments will fall through the floor, re-enlistments will fall even worse. Troop behavior will deteriorate into something unrecognisable. (US troop behavior is one of the best of any military in the world. That will not last.) And, of course the Obama people feel they must do something to protect access to abortion. That is another “hot-button issue” that will bring Americans out into the streets. So far, the Obama Administration has been able to keep these issues locked up in the basement, out of sight… but that cannot last. We can prepare for debates on minority rights and on privacy rights, too. Those two, alone, are going to be contentious as all get out!
As we said, Obama has been able to avoid debate on many of them, but once the debate over the new Supreme Court Justice begins, tbose issues are going to come pouring out of the “lock-up” into the light of day and it’s going to get very hot in the kitchen.
We don’t look for a candidate's qualifications to be a justice to be of prime importance in the upcoming nomineee. The left doesn’t look at the court the same way we conservarives do. Conservatives want justices drenched in constitutional law and experienced in preparing and arguing cases, and judging cases, and,… in other words… we want a justice to be qualified “in the law” to be a justice. The Left, on the other hand will look at the make-up of the seven-person court and count the number of men and women and minorities~~ and then~~ they will look for someone to “balance” the court.
At this moment I expect the left to insist on a black, or Hispanic, woman to fill the spot Souter is leaving. Of course the left does insist their nominee be about as far left as Joe Stalin, so we can expect an extreme leftist, quite possibly a socialist …thus, the title to this piece.
Now, we conservatives can make all the fuss we want to but nothing is going to change the fact that the US Supreme Court is going to be a liberal court for decades to come. That is the greatest loss of all to the country.

Sderot: Remembering the fallen and the terror continues
By Findalis
From the Sderot Media Center:
The world does not care that over a million people live under the daily threat of rocket attacks from an entity that has sworn to kill each and every one of them. Instead it applauds and rewards the purveyors of the terror with massive amounts of financing in the guise of aid. The Obama administration alone has pledged to give $1.1 billion to help Gaza. US taxpayer funds that will go straight into the hands of Hamas. Obama is even orchestrating the means to put it directly into Hamas' hands. Funds that will not go to the people of Gaza, but to purchase the weapons of terror.
If you feel that funding terror is against the principles that this nation was founded on, then write Congress and let them know that. Let them know that you stand tall with the people of Sderot. That you do not want your tax dollars given to a known terrorist group. That $1.1 billion could be spent better here at home. Just don't be silent!

From the Sderot Media Center:
By Anav Silverman
At Madaim Alon Elementary School, principal Leora Fima stands before her students, marking the beginning of Memorial Day for Israel’s Fallen service held at the school on Tuesday morning.
The 160 students, from first grade to sixth grade, sit quietly in the school hall-- one of the last areas of the school that remains unprotected by rocket attacks.
When Principal Fima tells the students that the siren will go off at any moment in remembrance of Israel’s fallen, a first grader in the crowd asks if she means the Tzeva Adom, or Color Red siren warning of impending rockets. “No, a different siren,” responds Principal Fima.
“The students were badly affected by the impact of the Gaza war,” Principal Fima later tells Sderot Media Center. “It was very difficult to get the students back on track in terms of studying. It was impossible to get them to concentrate and their motivation was completely gone.”
During the Gaza war, many schools in southern Israel including Sderot remained closed.
However, through outside financial contributions, Madaim Alon was able to establish an intensive psychological therapy program for the students. “Once a week, each child in our school undergoes an hour of psychological therapy,” says Fima. “This has helped the students tremendously. Since Passover vacation there has been a significant change in their behavior. The kids are noticeably more relaxed.”
Madim Alon Elementary School is the only school in the western Negev which offers such counseling for students-- many of whom suffer from PTSD symptoms that result from sirens and rocket attacks.
“The kids here understand, perhaps better than anyone else, the meaning behind Remembrance Day for the Fallen of Israel’s Wars,” says Fima.
” One student even told me earlier in the week that from war, can we can strive for peace. The kids know that these young soldiers gave up their lives for us to live here today.”
Indeed, the hall was completely quiet as a Madaim Alon student read off the names of Sderot’s fallen soldiers during the ceremony. When the names of the Sderot residents killed by rocket attacks were called out loud, the silence among the children was almost deafening.
“These kids have had to sacrifice so much already at such a young age. And yet they are not consumed by hatred or anger,” said Fima.
Last week Madaim Alon held a Peace Day for its students in light of Operation Cast Lead. The elementary school students organized sessions exploring how the recent Gaza war affected everyone including Palestinian children, Fima explained.
“There is a time for building bridges,” she says.

While those living outside of Sderot may be under the impression that the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is going well, Sderot and western Negev residents continued to experience rocket fire during the recent Passover holiday and Israel’s Memorial Day for fallen soldiers earlier this week.
On Tuesday afternoon, April 28, the Tzeva Adom or Color Red siren blared throughout Sderot, sending residents racing to shelters.
On Wednesday April 16, a Qassam rocket slammed into the western Negev, with another rocket following 24 hours later. The second rocket was fired hours after the Israel Air Force struck a booby-trapped building in central Gaza.
Both rockets landed in the Eshkol region of the western Negev, in an open an area, causing no reported injuries or damages.
Since the ceasefire began on January 19, over 180 rockets including five grad rockets supplied by Iran, were fired at southern Israel according to the IDF spokesperson's office. There has been a marked decrease in the number of rockets fired at Israeli civilians since Operation Cast Lead. According to the IDF Chief of General Staff Lt.-Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi, Hamas has been deterred from firing Qassam rockets into Israel since the operation.
"It is not coincidental that there is no [Kassam] rocket fire from Gaza, but we know that terrorism or attacks along the border fence, by sea or from the Gaza Strip into the Sinai Peninsula, are still on the agenda and we are therefore preparing with all the necessary measures," Ashkenazi stated on Monday, April 16, as reported by the Jerusalem Post.
Other terrorist activities have continued in Gaza. On Thursday April 13, Egyptian officials arrested nine Sinai Beduin near the Gaza border on the suspicion of smuggling weapons, merchandise and money to Hamas. Two of the suspects were caught at the Rafah border crossing in possession of more than $90,000.
Egyptian police had discovered the day before 900 kilograms of TNT hidden in 18 sacks near the Gaza border. Egyptian authorities also arrested three Palestinians on suspicion of infiltrating into the country.
On April 13, the Israeli Navy spotted an unmanned Palestinian fishing boat off the coast of the Gaza Strip. The boat was loaded with hundred of kilograms of explosives and remotely detonated as it approached an Israeli Navy ship, which distanced itself away from it. The fishing boat exploded seconds later, injuring no one.
In the past, Palestinian have tried to detonate explosives-laden ships next to Israel Navy vessels.
According to the Jerusalem Post, four Israeli sailors were wounded in 2002 when Palestinian detonated a fishing boat next to a navy patrol off northern Gaza.
In October 2000, a small ship exploded next to the USS Cole in Yemen, which killed 17 American sailors.
Also last week, Egyptian authorities cracked a Hezbollah-run terrorist ring based in Egypt. Thanks to intelligence information provided by Israel's Mossad and other foreign intelligence services including the CIA, the crackdown led Egyptian authorities to arrest dozens of suspects on Thursday April 16.
According to Ha'aretz, the head of the ring was Lebanese citizen Sami Shihab who was in touch with a special branch of Hezbollah for some time. Egyptian security sources said that the Hezbollah agents had planned a series of terrorist attacks against tourist sites in Sinai where western and Israeli tourists frequent. Egptian sources also noted that the Suez Canal was a target of the ring.
Egypt had been hunting for 13 members of the 49 member Hezbollah ring which included Lebanese and Sudanese citizens for some time. The men had taken shelter in the central Sinal town of al-Nakhl and authorities had feared that the men might escape north into Gaza located 120 miles away through secret tunnels or head further south.
A senior Egyptian source told Haaretz that "Egypt will take active measures against anyone who threatens its national security. We will not allow anyone to do this: Hezbollah, Iran or others. They sought to strike at the national security of Egypt, but luckily we stopped them and uncovered their plot."
The world does not care that over a million people live under the daily threat of rocket attacks from an entity that has sworn to kill each and every one of them. Instead it applauds and rewards the purveyors of the terror with massive amounts of financing in the guise of aid. The Obama administration alone has pledged to give $1.1 billion to help Gaza.

US Socialist Government to Crush Free Speech
US Socialist Government to Crush Free SpeechSenate Bill 773 Will Trash The 1st Amendment
By: J. D. Longstreet
***********************
This is one of those times when I WISH I had been WRONG!!! Unfortunately, it now appears that I was right… but… I honestly thought we’d have more time. But the “ASG” (AMERICAN SOCIALIST GOVERNMENT) intends to strike while the iron is hot! By keeping the American people off kilter, rocked back on our heels with every kind of crisis they could throw at us, they have moved swiftly to trash the US Constitution, crush democracy, and enslave over 300 million Americans within a formerly free nation.
Now comes Senate Bill S773. This bill would, critics say, give the federal government control over the INTERNET including, under emergency conditions, the right of the president to shut down the whole Internet or sites on it, including the interruption of e-mail," You can read the entire article at World Net Daily HERE.
This, dear reader, is what happens when apathy and ignorance reign in a nation of formerly free people!
Some Americans are awake. Some are just beginning to wake up to what happened on Election Day back in November of 2008. For those of you who still haven’t a clue… we lost our country!
Just a couple or three days ago we wrote this: Is the Fairness Doctrine coming to the INTERNET?
“We have warned of this as a possibility for a very long time now. It seems we conservative bloggers are giving the lefties a hard time and, anytime that happens, they bring down their mailed fist in an attempt to destroy anyone who disagrees with THEIR socialist philosophy. You can read the latest on this at World Net Daily HERE.
Oh, and you naughty people who send those angry e-mails must have hurt some lefties’ feelings, ‘cause they want to make you stop! You are a really mean person, bullying people, and all!! So they have an answer for that, too. That is to refuse to allow you to send an angry e-mail for 24 hours. That’s covered in the same story at World Net Daily. Click the link above and see what we are going on about.”
That little “heads-up” piece was written on April 29th.
We have been sleeping with one eye open, squinting at Washington, waiting for the other shoe to fall. Apparently, it is on the way down, even as I scribble these few words onto this electronic paper before me.
Using the “crisis of the day” as cover, the left is busily working to solidify their hold on the government and impose their brand of socialism on an obviously unsuspecting electorate. Why “unsuspecting”? Because the MsM (Mainstream Media) has become sycophants for the Obama Administration and the socialist left in power in Washington. These days if you want objective news reporting on anything happening in America’s government, you have to search for news sources offshore. It is something I have been doing for years as a result of the left-wing bias of the American media.
There is a new site you need to visit, if, that is, you are the least bit interested in preserving free speech on the broadcast airwaves of America and on the INTERNET. It is “American Radio Free Speech.” You’ll find it HERE. The following is from their news release issued on April 28th, 2009: Over the last weekend more than two dozen of the nation's top talk shows and media outlets held an unprecedented private meeting to brainstorm strategies against what they agreed are government plans to squelch First Amendment rights.

The following is from their news release issued on April 28th, 2009: Over the last weekend more than two dozen of the nation's top talk shows and media outlets held an unprecedented private meeting to brainstorm strategies against what they agreed are government plans to squelch First Amendment rights.
Organized by Brad O'Leary, author of the new book, "Shut Up, America! The End of Free Speech" and Joseph Farah, editor and chief executive officer of World Net Daily (http://www.wnd.com/), the group chose a spokesman and chairman of the coalition - Radio America syndicated host Roger Hedgecock of San Diego, CA. Other members of the group included nationally syndicated radio hosts Lars Larson (http://www.larslarson.com/), Rusty Humphries (http://www.talk2rusty.com/), Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson (http://www.bondaction.org/), Steve Gill (http://www.gillreport.com/) and local hosts Martha Zoller (http://www.marthazoller.com/), Joyce Kaufman (http://www.joycekaufman.com/) and Kirby Wilbur (www.kvi.com/onair/kirby).
The Coalition, legally formed as The American Radio Free Speech Foundation, has created a public awareness campaign and educational initiative-- "Don't Touch My Dial" (http://www.donttouchmydial.com/).
The Nation faces an insidious attack on its First Amendment Rights that is being cloaked in legislation and regulation evidenced by the recently circulated draft FCC regulations (first proposed in February, 2008) to impose "localism" and "media ownership diversity" on talk radio.
In addition, under the guise of "cyberspace security", Senators Rockefeller, Snowe, and Nelson have introduced S773 which would, critics say, give the federal government control over the internet including, under emergency conditions, the right of the President to shut down the whole internet or sites on it, including the interruption of email.

When the public is informed about what is happening behind the scenes to threaten their First Amendment rights, they will be outraged. As shown in a recent poll that was commissioned by the coalition and is part of the "Zogby/O'Leary Report's First 100 Days Poll" when 3,937 voters from the last election were asked: "Four members of the U.S. Senate recently introduced a bill that would allow the President of the United States to turn off the internet nationally in the event of an emergency, however the Bill does not DEFINE what constitutes an emergency. Do you support or oppose this bill?" 81.8 % said they would oppose the bill and 5% said they would support it.
"The assault on the First Amendment that is being planned by the Government and the extremist Left is not limited to their desire to silence conservative talk radio," Hedgecock noted. "Newspapers and Television are not immune to the anti-First Amendment efforts that are at work here. In addition, the Internet is also a target for receiving the restrictive aspects of the so-called "fairness doctrine" as a means of stifling criticism for anything that is being reported or commented upon. Apparently the Administration wishes to silence any avenue from which the truth can escape the yoke of government tyranny."
Hedgecock commented further, "This issue -- and the urgent need for a broad-based, aggressive coalition to fight back -- is much bigger than talk radio, and much more dangerous than an effort to simply silence a few voices that the current Administration dislikes. This fight is a First Amendment fight and one that every American must be involved with, which is why we have created 'Don't Touch My Dial' as a vehicle for mass participation."
Hedgecock is also the Chairman and Spokesperson for Unfair Air (http://www.unfairair.org/), Radio America's Free Radio Coalition to protect First Amendment Rights as they pertain to radio and radio audiences. Unfair Air is a member of the new broader based Coalition and will actively participate in the "Don't Touch My Dial" campaign.
Hedgecock is an exclusive columnist for World Net Daily (http://www.wnd.com/) and the author of the recently published three book series: The 2008 Conservative Voter's Field Guide to: #1- Immigration, #2- The War and #3 - Healthcare (http://www.amazon.com/). He is also a frequent guest on Hannity & Colmes, The O'Reilly Factor and other Fox News Channel Shows, on CNN's Lou Dobbs Show and on MSNBC. He was also the preferred guest host on The Rush Limbaugh Show for over a decade.
Hedgecock is quoted By World Net Daily as having said: “I believe the strategy is to make the current state of compliant journalism that prevails in the mainstream media the norm as well on the Internet and in talk radio," He went on to say: "I think in the next 90 days we will see the imposition of the local advisory boards. They will immediately become complaint departments staffed by the Left on all local and nationally syndicate talk programs." Hedgecock explained: “The threats of those complaints to the viability of the underlying station licenses will be immediate and will force corporations that own these stations into a very defensive posture. Talk about a chilling effect on free speech, this will be an Arctic blast of restraint on opinion based on the threat to take the license away."
As a retired broadcaster of nearly 30 years, I can tell you this is serious stuff. It is going to be an all out attack on YOUR First Amendment Rights! Already, Americans have taken to “whispering” in crowded rooms when conversing on topics having to do with the current presidential administration. The “FEAR” has already taken hold. It is a condition Americans are not used to and many do not recognize it, and will not, until it is too late to make a difference.
It is time for Americans to make a stand for the freedom and the liberty our forefathers died to gain for us. Later generations of American patriots lay down their lives to preserve that freedom and those liberties for us. Can we allow ourselves to do less? Well, can we?
The Old America is gone. The New America, aborning, may prove to be an abomination. There is no longer room for apathy and ignorance. There never was. It is time, now, right now, for Americans to save themselves.
