Have Thought Will Travel. Ruminate on ideas, philosophy, culture, society, books, music, politics, religion, movies...and see where it takes us.
May each of you have the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute works that will leave the world a little better for your having been here. -- Ronald Reagan
Anti-Semitism is on the rise in America, and has become well
established again in Europe. We are only a few years behind. Part of it many
Jews in this country and Europe worship the State rather than God. That didn’t
go well prior to WWII. Now they’re doing it again. The other part of it, a huge
part is the anti-Semitism of Barack Obama, his administration and the Democrat
Party.
If you’ll remember their last convention they took God and
Jerusalem out of the Party Platform and when they took a voice vote to add God
and Jerusalem as the capital of Jerusalem, there was booing. This political
party booed God. Wouldn’t look so good during the campaign if Obama were
running on the platform denouncing God and Israel.
To the here and now. January 23 at a meeting of the NYC City
Council, Palestinian activists unfurled a Palestinian flag and yelled
interruptions while there was a discussion and vote commemorating the slaughter
of over a million human beings, mostly Jews at Auschwitz.
Here’s Councilman David G. Greenfield’s response.
Here's Mark Levin's commentary on the rise of anti-Semitism. It includes Councilman Greenfield's comments.
"You know folks, I'll be honest with you. I just
told a friend of mine -- even though I sit behind this microphone and I try to
be civil and so forth -- I can barely contain my fury about what's going on in
this country. I'm just being honest with you. I can barely contain it. I'm so
frustrated by this tyranny, you have no idea. Now we can analyze it, we can
intellectualize it, we can parse it and so forth and try to unravel it. But I'm
just telling you, from an emotional point of view, it is just so damned
infuriating to see the greatest country on the face of the earth run by a bunch
of lilliputians, who are constantly attacking it from within.
No discussion on the news programs about an imperial president exercising an
authority he does not have under our constitution. Nothing. No discussion about
all the lives saved and all the people protected as a result of the Second
Amendment. Nothing. They continue to perpetuate the lie, the big lie that
somehow, some new regulation, some new government fiat would have prevented
what happened in Newtown, Connecticut. And then they pretend that
they're for law enforcement. They pretend that they're hard on crime when
they're not.
We have evidence over one decade after another of how the very same people
pushing for gun control against law-abiding American citizens support radical
left-wing judges who are soft on criminals, support weakened sentencing rules,
decriminalizing this and that. Since when was Obama strong on fighting crime?
Since when has Obama supported law enforcement? But here he is, you know, 'we
have to stop gun violence.' No, we have to stop violent criminals.
Now, there's a fury in me -- I'm just being honest with you -- that I'm trying
to contain. Biden, the moron Senator from Delaware, taking his train back and forth
and back and forth on Amtrak. Oh wow, what a guy. Anyway, so they may do by executive
fiat -- I'm trying to read between the lines -- a national gun database. Now,
why would we need a national gun database? Well, listen, we need to know who
has the weapons, at all times, and how many weapons they have and what weapons
they have. How come? Why? The guy that killed all those people in Newtown, Connecticut,
we know who he was and we know who had the weapons, his mother. So what does
this national database have to do with anything? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
Oh, okay, but we need one anyway, right? To prevent what exactly? To prevent
what?" (Mark Levin Show, January 10, 2013)
If you haven't read his Liberty and Tyranny go get it. Really. Seriously. A must read.
Mark Levin is a constitutional scholar and practicing
lawyer, has one of the most listened to radio talk shows, has written four
books (on law, culture and politics which I highly recommend), and is president of Landmark Legal Foundation. Arguably one on the best
legal minds in the country. This is the clearest, most detailed analysis of the lawless Supreme Court\Chief Justice
Roberts ObamaCare decision I've found. This will take some time, but it's
important to know these details; freedom in America is at stake, and those of
us not Statists, need to make the case for the repeal of it to everyone we talk to about this.
Boenhner is moving toward a "balanced" budget amendment that does not cap federal spending to a percent of the GDP and lacks taxation limitations. RINO's and Dems love this idea.
Horrible and scary point here is leading the Republican Party is RINO Boenhner in the House, RINO O'Donnell in the Senate, and if Romney wins we'll have a trifecta of RINO's and things will remain the same. Obama and Dem lite...same results, slower pace.
You know a Republican presidential candidate is a RINO when the Jurassic Press says the guy is great, just what the Republican Party needs. Jon Huntsman is an accommodationist to the Left, like McCain, Lugar, the Bush's, and all the rest. Huntsman announced at the Statue of Liberty where Reagan did, and invoked Reagan several times. Problem is, Reagan was a conservative. Huntsman is a Liberal.
His strategy going into the primaries is not to appeal to the base of the Republican Party, but to independents and disaffected Dems. That strategy alone speaks volumes. As Mark Levin's analysis below shows, Huntsman even uses the same words as McCain, talking about civility, respect of the opposition, getting along, taking the high road. Really? That got McCain and the Republican Party where?
Just before Huntsman announced, his campaign manager, John Weaver, said, "There's a simple reason our party is nowhere near being a national governing party."“No one wants to be around a bunch of cranks.” He was referring to conservative Republican candidates. Starting off bashing fellow Republicans. Weaver by the way is a former McCain "strategist". Looser. Weaver has mocked Pawlenty and Romney. Not by policy statements, but personally. Looser. About Pawlenty he said, "Tim's a nice guy, and there's nothing worse than seeing a nice guy pretend that he's angry. Is that really what we want to be? Is that how we're going to define ourselves? When's the last time an angry man ever solved a problem without using a gun?" Really?
He's said nothing nearly as harsh as this about his friend Obama. Weaaver again: "The frustrating thing is that Obama's beatable." "But to beat Obama you have to be bigger than Obama. That's how we save our party." Being a RINO, McCain II, is going to beat Obama? What's are they going to save the Party from? Conservatives? Huntsman was booed at a TEA Party event in Utah. That speaks volumes about this guy too.
Huntsman wrote to Obama in an Aug. 16, 2009 note: “You are a remarkable leader,” (underlining the word “remarkable,”) “and it has been a great honor getting to know you.”
Huntsman supported Obama's "stimulus" packages. He supported the "DREAM act", the "comprehensive" Democrat program to make illegal aliens (undocumented Democrats) legal. He's was for SCHIP which was supposed to be healthcare for kids but turned out to be a massive healthcare bill for adults too (a Dem program that McCain was for too). He supports the global warming crowed and the legislation that grows from that.
The danger here is his strategy going into the primaries is the same as McCain. By the time the primaries moved into "flyover country", RINO McCain was locked in. Many of those states have open voting, you don't have to belong to the party of the candidate to vote for him. Dems and other Statists crossed over and voted McCain, knowing he couldn't win. Huntsman must be stopped at the starting gate.
The Dems ignore the Constitution all the time, but this is brazen by even their standards. Making amendments to a bill that has not passed, have the prez sign the amendments, and "deem" the bill passed, and voila!, the bill becomes law. Say what?
