Fitting. It is summer. It's what we do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;We need to pick judges who represent America don't you think so?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;It must be fair across the board with every group having a fair share in it. Each group , each religion, each race or mixture of races or handicap, mental of physical should be fairly represented.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;There are too many Catholics on the supreme court now. They are way over represented and there are too many of them who are in Opus Dei. Come on now.. fair is fair isn't it?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Where are the members of other more minority religions?? They too must be represented. Where are the Christian Scientists and the Mormons and the Aethists? We need Scientologists and Buddhists. Since Protestants outnumber all others though, we will need to have people who claim Bi-Religionism in order to fill that gap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Latina woman? What about a Polish woman? I think we need a full blood Hawaiian on there and an Eskimo don't we? Aren't there like 3 counties in Arkansas where a majority are born from &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;inbreeding?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;For heaven's sake .. the infamy! Who will represent the richness of &lt;em&gt;their &lt;/em&gt;experience?????&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Who will represent the little people of America and are Tongans fairly represented at all?Who will represent the average IQ in America? Those who couldn't get into a college if they tried... those who barely made it into high school. They are deserving of representation.&lt;/div&gt;Who represents the string beans and the fatties of America?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Lets make the Supreme Court fair.&lt;/div&gt;According the the Census:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;75 % or more of the supreme court should be white. The "more" includes the Caucasian hispanics among us who claim caucasian on the census report. This can kick caucasian Americans up to way over 90% in some cases.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;11% should be black. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;1 or 2% should be American Indian.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;10% can be hispanic in background.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;3.6 % should be Asian&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;2.4 % need to be mixed race , but this will be hard since after we account for the 6.75 whites on the court, the other 2.25% will have to be mixed race anyway. Oh the problems we face.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;So now do the math. 75% of the 9 members must be Caucasian. That is 6.75 members.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;That leaves us with 2.25 more to divide up amongst the racist needs of the powers that be! This means the remaining members must all be mixed race and it must be precise or it's not fair.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;11% of the 9 members should be black. That means we need a .99% of a person. Not a whole person mind you, just almost a whole person because out of 9 people that is how much should represent black Americans fairly.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;We need 1% American Indian... that's 0.09% of one person.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;10% hispanic.... that is 0.9 of one person.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;3.6 Asian.....0.324% of one person&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Uh oh..... This means we need 6 white men and 2.25 other people who can make up the rest of the racial "needs". Because you see, we need to accomodate EVERY single bias and every single nuance of color etc. Its just what's right to do you see because people are nuts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I am very upset that there isn't any real presence of the mentally ill on the supreme court. This must be fixed immediately to be absolutely fair.Think about it, how can a person who isnt mentally ill possibly rule on cases involving the mentally ill? Well maybe , in fact, many of them are really ill. We just can't be positive. Tests are in order.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;How can a person who isn't terminally ill rule on issues of life and death? How can anyone who has never been raped or attacked or shot or sexually molested possibly understand cases that involve that?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;We must have every judge undergo these things at once. Experience is the only answer. It will make them Wise!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;They must all be dumped into extreme poverty and have a ghetto experience too. So it might be "wise" to have them all work for nothing while serving. Preferably chained to their desks so that they might know what it is like to be enslaved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;If this isn't possible then I suggest that we dress up the judges as the Village People. This will satisfy everyone I think, though in a phoney sort of way&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;So where does Sonia Sotomayor fit into all of this? Stupid racists/sexists are a part of all cultures and Sonia Sotomayor would certainly cover that category on the court. She will be the one who judges not by law but by richness of experience which is also a view that needs to be represented. The view of those whose personal backgrounds and biases interpret the Constitution for them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male " Sotomayor has made this comment more than once in a variety of ways and places so she qualifies as a racist and bigot I think.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;"The court of appeals is where policy is made." and "I know this is on tape, and I should never say that, because we don't make law. I'm not promoting it, and I'm not advocating it. I'm—you know." Umm, yeah Sonia ... umm, sure, sure ,we know. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Take some aspirin and lie down now. This qualifies her as dumb for sure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And you thought you had to be blonde to be dumb? Oh you are so out of touch. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/Sl0EC2ejRFI/AAAAAAAAFN0/TsuhtW3EWZg/s1600-h/HELLO+KITTY+Taser+Gun.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5358443578670662738" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 171px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/Sl0EC2ejRFI/AAAAAAAAFN0/TsuhtW3EWZg/s400/HELLO+KITTY+Taser+Gun.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So things in this country better soon change or we will be really upset and start using our Hello Kitty tasers more often.

It simply goes on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While it was a cause celebre for the Democrat party, complete with alarming articles, Cindy marches, hand wringing on the Congressional floor,attacks on returned veterans and all kinds of partisan shenanigans, it is now taken as a matter of fact. Pres. Obama is even warning that there is indeed a long, long road ahead. We won't be pulling out anytime soon &lt;strong&gt;and&lt;/strong&gt; he is eager for Brits to continue helping out!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wow. What a turn about. &lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Or is it?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's not as if they just learned about what things are like over there. They already knew because they were constantly told. It is just that it is no longer politically expedient to complain about it . It might now be a help to them. If it is of use it will be continued. Look at the mileage it got for the Republicans. &lt;strong&gt;It was a cause celebre for the Republicans too!&lt;/strong&gt; A political tool they used to great advantage also.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Democrats aren't fools. They know when to carry on and milk something for all it's worth too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are these legit wars? I don't think so.. never did. We have fought far too many &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;undeclared wars&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; since WW2 . Even WW2 took less time to finish than this junk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I feel that way consistently, not just for political expediency. If you want a war, declare it as one and then fight the darn thing and get it over with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of this is why I know there is not a dime's worth of difference between the political parties. They simply fight one another for power using whatever they can at the moment as a weapon, even if they don't mean a word they say. And they really don't mean anything they say. They tell you what they think you want to hear.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Politics is just ugly. Look how Sotomayors backers are now pulling out all the stops to destroy the fireman whose case came up before the Judge. It is a black day indeed when a person who simply had a case heard by a particular judge can become the target of political hatred. Ask Joe the Plumber. Ask Hillary Clinton. They dragged her through the mud too when it was expedient to do so. Politics is simply junior high school with higher stakes and worse manners.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you look at the current attacks on Sarah Palin you can see the political clout she is capable of having. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Both Republicans and Democrats are very, very afraid of Sarah Palin.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Both men and women fear her because she proves you don't need an abortion. She shows that you can take responsibility for what you do. She proves that you can raise kids and be a career woman. We can't have that now can we? We cannot have average Americans in the limelight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Gallop poll says that if Palin ran for President today she would take 7 out of 10 Republican votes. The Republican party can't stand that. Palin isn't a party hack. She is a downhome American... she is like us not like them, the rich geeks who run things and they don't like the idea of an average American being so popular with mainstream America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heck they hate that it's a woman who is so popular too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The old boy network is alive and well in politics and organized religion. Its why both entities are so very dirty and corrupt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So politics as usual goes on to it's dead end with both parties in America having no  real concern for the nation and it's people. These parties just wildly push on ahead like  the hirelings they are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sad, but true.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15530751-4001082604045555191?l=lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/lemon-limemoon/~4/y5tp9SPqAGQ" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com/feeds/4001082604045555191/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15530751&amp;postID=4001082604045555191&amp;isPopup=true" title="2 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15530751/posts/default/4001082604045555191?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15530751/posts/default/4001082604045555191?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/lemon-limemoon/~3/y5tp9SPqAGQ/old-boy-networkpolitics-stinks.html" title="The Old Boy Network:Politics Stinks" /><author><name>Lemon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11656854855385193867</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="01441433587161382621" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/SluPb29gcDI/AAAAAAAAFNg/ptApF-fD-W0/s72-c/oldboygif.gif" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">2</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com/2009/07/old-boy-networkpolitics-stinks.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;D0QDRn4-fip7ImA9WxJUFE8.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15530751.post-2983946906662055878</id><published>2009-07-12T13:08:00.017-04:00</published><updated>2009-07-12T15:02:57.056-04:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-07-12T15:02:57.056-04:00</app:edited><title>Blessed are the Weak of Mind</title><content type="html">&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/SloYqgaVi1I/AAAAAAAAFNI/Cd6NFJ0aZSc/s1600-h/Worship+Me+Worship+Me.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357621825244597074" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 337px; HEIGHT: 295px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/SloYqgaVi1I/AAAAAAAAFNI/Cd6NFJ0aZSc/s400/Worship+Me+Worship+Me.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="dropcap"&gt;B&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;lessed are the weak of mind for they shall see the messiah.... look into my eyes... look into my eyes........... worship me.

Just like their glorious model Nimrod did.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Al Gore warns you of their plans when he says that &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;"“But it is the awareness itself that will drive the &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(255,0,0)"&gt;change&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/em&gt;and one of the ways it will drive the &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(255,0,0)"&gt;change&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; is through &lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(255,0,0)"&gt;global governance&lt;/span&gt; and global agreements.” &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are you listening America?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marc Morano reminds you &lt;a href="http://www.climatedepot.com/a/1893/Gore-US-Climate-Bill-Will-Help-Bring-About-Global-Governance"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;here&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; of Jacque Chirac's call for a one world government. Chirac called the UN's Kyoto Protocol &lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(255,0,0)"&gt;"the first component of an authentic global governance"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(255,0,0)"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To end America you will need someone big. Someone messianic in scope who can transcend America and Democracy. Someone the people can worship and adore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For that to happen, you must first dismantle the sovereignty of America. You must remove America from first place and this is what has been going on all along. The state media is ready to cooperate in this watering down of the republic by such biased adoration like these quotes:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“Does it not feel as if some special hand is guiding Obama on his journey, I mean, as he has said, the utter improbability of it all?” from:&lt;em&gt;Daily Kos&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“Barack’s appeal is actually messianic… he… communicates God-like energy… What if God decided to incarnate as men preaching ‘hope and change.’ And what if we… let them slip away, not availing ourselves… to be led by God!”from: Steve Davis of the &lt;em&gt;Journal Gazette&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“He is not the Word made flesh [Jesus], but the triumph of word over flesh [better than Jesus?]…Obama is, at his best, able to call us back to our highest selves.” from: Ezra Klein of &lt;em&gt;Prospect &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I found a long list of such quotes on the internet but I have since lost the source...sorry. The quotes are easily verifiable , however. Everyone knows them and that they are real. Chris Matthews is famous for the "New Testament" like thrills running up his legs. &lt;strong&gt;"blessed and highly favored&lt;/strong&gt;" he will not just &lt;strong&gt;"Bring the Heavenly Kingdom.&lt;/strong&gt;.."but something far better than heaven and &lt;strong&gt;"another chapter could be added to the Bible to chronicle it's(Obama's presidency) significance"&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is ugly, evil stuff boys and girls. It shows the depths of depravity that people are willing to wallow in. Yes, it is depraved to put heavenly titles on a man.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Newsweek, &lt;a href="http://www.newsweek.com/id/205961"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;here&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, tells you that Obama represents American Catholics better than the Pope!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even the internet will be greened up to help line their pockets. Being on the internet makes carbon you see. Taxing you heavily will make carbon go away. Heavy taxes and punishments, taking over corporations and banks a la fascism's way will seemingly make the world a better place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are told that things are going to get &lt;a href="http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/6ac06592-6ce0-11de-af56-00144feabdc0.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;far worse&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, not better. The hope and change will now bring disaster before there is anything else...and that else is not really in sight because people paying attention realize that trillions of dollars of debt will destroy the nation, not help it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are told &lt;a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&amp;amp;sid=a0StZd9y2rCY"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;HERE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; that the stimulus worked as intended. Now, stop and think that one over.It was INTENDED to be misspent, misused and to repay cronies. It was intended to keep bad corporations in power , it was intended to allow Wall Street to fleece people yet again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first and most important job of the Federal Government isn't to wipe your nose , pay your mortgage, get you a car or health insurance. As a matter of fact that is none of their business. Their first job is to provide for the common defense of the sovereign 50 states. This is something they devoutly desire to not do. Obama, in fact, wants to stop protecting the states from foreign enemies and instead become pals and co-workers with them without so much as one concession, one move toward peace on their parts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Obama is not alone in this. We have seen a parade of wacky presidents do just that&lt;/strong&gt; and invent all kinds of ways to increase the power of the presidency from one third to almost the whole enchilada We watched them by passing Congress with presidential orders and a whole bunch of undeclared wars that required a bunch of very inventive reasons for them all and it does , of course help the anti terrorist commissars to keep down the population of tough, patriotic young men who happen to make great warriors. We can't have those insurgents running around. Why   &lt;a href="http://www.marktalk.com/blog/archives/4288"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Janet Napolitano said so&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While leaders of every nation live in luxury and priviledge, you worry about paying your rent and just feeding your family. They don't.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e80/lemonannie/ChuckieElectricDork.gif" /&gt;Don't you ever ask yourself why? Look at Prince Chuck of England &lt;a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/green-living/just-96-months-to-save-world-says-charles-1738049.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;whining&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; about the privilege the common folk have and their waste and consumerism. This guy is a wastrel and common adulterer.. .but we must hear him! He couldn't even be faithful to his child-bride but he will tell the "little people" how to live.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the ilk ruling the world today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We can thank G-d he has only given men a limited number of years to prove time and again that their ways just simply don't work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e80/lemonannie/longtalllemon.gif" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15530751-2983946906662055878?l=lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/lemon-limemoon/~4/J1OvTXZkYHg" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com/feeds/2983946906662055878/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15530751&amp;postID=2983946906662055878&amp;isPopup=true" title="5 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15530751/posts/default/2983946906662055878?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15530751/posts/default/2983946906662055878?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/lemon-limemoon/~3/J1OvTXZkYHg/blessed-are-weak-of-mind.html" title="Blessed are the Weak of Mind" /><author><name>Lemon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11656854855385193867</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="01441433587161382621" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/SloYqgaVi1I/AAAAAAAAFNI/Cd6NFJ0aZSc/s72-c/Worship+Me+Worship+Me.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">5</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com/2009/07/blessed-are-weak-of-mind.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;CU4ERn87cSp7ImA9WxJUEkk.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15530751.post-2140095422199581472</id><published>2009-07-09T21:08:00.005-04:00</published><updated>2009-07-10T12:38:27.109-04:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-07-10T12:38:27.109-04:00</app:edited><title /><content type="html">&lt;center style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,153)"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;A Second Post for Thursday&lt;/span&gt;

Mr. Obama had to quickly undo Mr. Biden's statement by saying that  oh yes it was absolutely US's place to tell other nations what to do and where to go and always would be, though he doesn't wish to be seen as actually doing so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is not the first time that Joe Biden has said things that are not to Obama's liking. We could liken the relationship between the President and the Vice President to two trains traveling toward one another at top speed from different directions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is sort of like a  train wreck in process. You see it happening but there isn't much you can do to stop it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember when Jill Biden, Joe's wife admitted that Joe had been offered two positions in government in exchange for his support?  He could choose Vice President or Secretary of State.   Her gaffe was pretty serious, though it never went anywhere. Offering positions in exchange for support is against the law. It is a crime and Jill admitted one had occurred.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is going on is a case of one administration with two different mind sets and a continual need to clean up gaffes and insults. From the gifts to foreign leaders to the comments there is a lot of trouble in paradise I think.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the one hand the administration is telling the world that the United States does not want to get itself involved in telling other nations what to do.  It is a hand's off policy.  However, it seems not to apply to Israel whom the administration is perfectly willing not only to tell what to do but to force them into doing.    The administration is so biased toward the Arab -Mohammedan neighbors of Israel that it will do anything to foster and abet the creation of yet another Arab-Mohammedan nation in a part of the world already hijacked in a big way. Iran isn't arab, yet Arab-Mohammedans took over there and trampled the Persians. Ahmedinejhad isn't Persian. He is an Arab.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Real Iraqis aren't Arab ... Syrians aren't Arabs, Egyptians aren't Arabs , Sudanese are not Arab,and neither are Tunisians or Moroccans or any one besides Saudi Arabians and even some there are doubtful.  But  you hear all these nations referred to as Arab because the Arabs forced themselves into these place. It is a case of Arab-Mohammedans forcing their religion and their lifestyle down the throats of the entire middle east and now branching out from there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is a huge takeover but some are anxious for you to think that this so-called Palestinian statehood gimmick is not just a prelude to the take over of all Israel. This, in spite of the continued statements by the Arab-Mohammedans that this is precisely their intention!&lt;br /&gt;When you have the new US administration lead by a comedy team you have to wonder how any of this will end up.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Israel needs the backing of the US only if they keep on the way they are going.  If they return to following G-d, however, they won't need the US at all. Hey, it's worth a shot right? Nothing else is working.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15530751-6716277979986818098?l=lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/lemon-limemoon/~4/RTMeeBqKIY4" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com/feeds/6716277979986818098/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15530751&amp;postID=6716277979986818098&amp;isPopup=true" title="3 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15530751/posts/default/6716277979986818098?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15530751/posts/default/6716277979986818098?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/lemon-limemoon/~3/RTMeeBqKIY4/train-wreck-administration.html" title="Train Wreck Administration" /><author><name>Lemon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11656854855385193867</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="01441433587161382621" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/SlTTbx8j-hI/AAAAAAAAFMU/Ueyaspz-Ju4/s72-c/train1.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">3</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com/2009/07/train-wreck-administration.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;CUYMSXg8fSp7ImA9WxJUEUU.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15530751.post-6648759763923858288</id><published>2009-07-08T12:12:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2009-07-09T19:46:28.675-04:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-07-09T19:46:28.675-04:00</app:edited><title>Sworn on Nothing</title><content type="html">&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/SlQvFFVJx1I/AAAAAAAAFME/pKotKYrvlJk/s1600-h/NO+BIBLE.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355957621227112274" style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left; width: 277px; height: 182px;" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/SlQvFFVJx1I/AAAAAAAAFME/pKotKYrvlJk/s400/NO+BIBLE.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;In this photo of the 'final' swearing in... having botched the first... note that Barack Obama has not got his hand on a bible. Is this valid?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Swearing on a bible is only valid if you believe it to be holy  and if  you take the book seriously. If you really took it seriously you wouldn't swear on one anyway. But for the swearing in of Presidents a hand placed on a bible is how swearing in is done.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think the symbolism here is quite deep  in  terms of what it means for America that the swearing in was botched twice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;If you are someone who looks at situations and mistakes etc. and begins to notice that there is a pattern, you noticed that his first swearing in was invalid. Then this, no holy book on which to make that oath valid. It's not as if he affirmed which you can do if swearing an oath is not according to your religious belief.  He swore. You swear on something greater than  yourself, unless you choose to affirm. Affirming means we are to take you at your own word.  But he swore  and swore on &lt;strong&gt;NOTHING.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;What are the implications of that?  That it was a knowing lie? That nothing is greater than he is?&lt;/div&gt;What is it?  Whatever it is, it is ominous.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Obama has agreed to cut our nukes while Russia increases hers. Communists are known liars. Their "word" has never been valuable or reliable.  You cannot turn your back on them. Obama wants the US to be a sitting duck ? It would seem so.  To drop your weapons in the face of international threats of nuclear attack is more than silly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He is willing to deal with thugs in any nation to aid them in their rise to power while dismantling and destroying the power, finances and might of the United States at the same time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This philosophical son of Frank Marshall Davis, the Marxist from Hawaii, is the great friend of Russia, China and the Communist regimes to the south of us. This is the man who will stab Czechoslovakia and Georgia in the back when he gets the chance. He is of the ilk of the Clintons and Carters who sold out the Panama Canal to the Chi Coms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John F. Kennedy was very concerned about weapons in Cuba at our very doorstep but Clinton and Carter gave the Panama Canal over to sworn enemies of the United States.  So much for protecting the Constitution for those fellows.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama will sign a treaty with a nation that is run by KGB thugs, but will censure Israel for building homes on their own land. This guy is an extreme failure. He needs to be impeached because he is tramping all over the constitution that he swore to uphold....without his hand on any bible at all. What a guy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He is taking the USA from a representative democratic republic to socialism overnight. That is NOT defending the Constitution which a president is sworn to do. That is dismantling it and substituting something in it's place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He has strong armed our banks, our car manufacturers and makes personal individual deals with Communists. He is by passing the Constitution completely and should be impeached quite quickly.

When the leader of a nation violates the constitution of his nation he should be removed from office by constitutional means.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Honduran constitution provides for no impeachment in the American way but does provide for the military to remove the offender from office by order of the supreme court thereby upholding their constitution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you take an oath of office to defend the constitution and then  you do not defend it or support it or live by it, you are a traitor and must be removed from office according to the laws of your nation. In Honduras that is by military. Here, it is by impeachment. We need to use that impeachment more often. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Our military also takes an oath to defend the Constitution. That should be remembered.  That means they need to know and understand that body of law. This video describes what happened in Honduras and why it was necessary for the military to take part.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those of our home bred  snobbish elite  are complaining about the Honduran rule of law. They shouldn't but they do because they are ignorant about the truth. They aren't ignorant about the latest Hollywood gossip or the latest fad and fancy. Since the educational system has been dumbed down there is quite a lot of ignorance going on. There was a time when civics classes were required in high school education. Even home educators need to include lessons on civics and the Constitution. It is something so many young people don't know anything about. Most people have seen the man on the street interviews asking who is vice president, who is the premier of this nation or that and what was the American Revolution about. There are far too many who don't know and too many who live in some kind of fairytale world based on air head ideas of right and wrong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since the Bush administration we have watched the presidency abuse the power of executive orders to bypass Congress and the will of the people....who are the government... in order to make some kind of dictatorship. We have watched undeclared wars being fought with thousands of our military giving their lives for wars that Congress has not declared.  This is unconstitutional and should not be. The military is sworn to uphold the constitution so why are they fighting in unconstitutional wars?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;President Obama is now making private treaties with Russia and by passing Congressional ratification of them. That is unconstitutional but people are becoming so unknowledgable, so passive that they are not saying much about this. This is the road to fascism and dictatorship, not liberty or freedom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The following video explains why Honduras did what was right in removing Zelaya from office. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/maMA3PTYoZE&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/maMA3PTYoZE&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15530751-5812252066133337850?l=lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/lemon-limemoon/~4/OWnRcmsj4Q4" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com/feeds/5812252066133337850/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15530751&amp;postID=5812252066133337850&amp;isPopup=true" title="2 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15530751/posts/default/5812252066133337850?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15530751/posts/default/5812252066133337850?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/lemon-limemoon/~3/OWnRcmsj4Q4/when-constitution-gets-trampled.html" title="When a Constitution Gets Trampled......." /><author><name>Lemon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11656854855385193867</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="01441433587161382621" /></author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">2</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com/2009/07/when-constitution-gets-trampled.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;A0UCQn47fyp7ImA9WxJVGU4.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15530751.post-8383482713627239831</id><published>2009-07-06T12:48:00.010-04:00</published><updated>2009-07-07T00:01:03.007-04:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-07-07T00:01:03.007-04:00</app:edited><title>Sarah......</title><content type="html">&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355410891932918786" style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left; width: 320px; height: 400px;" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/SlI91P_rZAI/AAAAAAAAFLk/mc4yKM6VD6k/s400/sarah+palin.bmp" border="0" /&gt;What is it what bothers some so very much that they will circle a tiny baby boy and his sisters in shark like attacks?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me tell you a true story that illustrates how some people are very convicted by those around them who are doing better than expected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A woman in a wheel chair, paralyzed with only the ability to move a finger to switch her chair motor on and off, was slapped in the face by a person who cried out, "Why are you out in public?". It so bothered this person that a woman was not secluding herself from sight or sitting at home because of her handicap! They were so upset that in spite of everything she was doing a good job with what she had. She was enjoying her life as she was able, getting out, enjoying nature, being in public and among people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, whatever the reasoning that slap happy person had and I can see several possibilities, they were not able to handle seeing a woman who pushed on in spite of difficulty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those who would not want to raise a handicapped child can, if they allow themselves, hate those who do. They can hate those who do all the things that they say is not possible because it makes them feel inferior somehow. It rattles their sense of how things should be. They can end up hating people who go above and beyond to accomplish things too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many are trapped in this attitude as they feel that people cannot do well and that some aren't capable and need the government to do things for them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spanish speaking immigrants are looked down upon and it is implied by many on the left that they are too stupid to learn English. Black Americans who have proven themselves over and over again in America , are thought to be too stupid to hold down good jobs,etc. The push is to keep them dependent on welfare. Its cruel and rotten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once while in a Wal Mart ladies room I was shocked at a sign in Spanish only, teaching the basics of hand washing. It was downright insulting I thought. They know how to wash their hands for goodness sake. Some people might not wash, but that's not color or ethnicity based. Thats just poor habits in hygiene and that crosses all boundaries.&lt;br /&gt;These things, these views form the basis for many hatreds that are false and unwarrented and I use them as examples to show skewed views and prejudices.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sarah Palin bothers some people &lt;strong&gt;very much&lt;/strong&gt; because she is a typical, traditional American woman who has achieved a whole lot and without a fancy Ivy League education or powerful billionaire pals. She is what America is really like. American women can relate to Sarah. They don't relate to Hillary or Condo or any of the others, but Sarah is down home. She is us. She is the girl next door with her looks and her attitudes....she is American through and through. She is a woman who handles problems , moves along and takes life in stride. She is a pioneer in some areas. She lives in a state with a distinct pioneer attitude, that distinct American pull yourself up by the bootstraps self reliant attitude that made the nation great. That strong and sturdy Protestant work ethic that pushed us forward in the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She is pro life, and she lives life, a real life, not a fairytale. This isn't a woman living in the ivory towers of the Hollywood-Washington elite who are above us all. Sarah knows how to pump her own coffee at a 7 11.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She has children, something that is unpopular today .....hence the insistence of the use of radical abortion as an average form of birth control! The violence of this is breathtaking really and speaks to an underlying dislike of children .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People dislike her because she went to an average university rather than Ivy League institutions where snobbery and elitism can be found among quite a few (not all but more than their share certainly). There are some graduates of these expensive education mills that believe they are better than others and look down their long noses at the rest of America. They of the America of the private exclusionary country clubs and the hatred of minorities whom they view as incapable of helping themselves. It is the ultimate snobbery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But Sarah could be compared to the "Proverbs 31 woman"the Eishet Chayil , a woman who is capable of so much. That Eishet Chayil has her own business, engages in real estate transactions, raises kids, makes clothing and yes, could probably hunt down and skin a moose too if necessary&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She is a go getter and does much well even in the face of adversity or set backs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/SlJGNbvLfRI/AAAAAAAAFLs/1xUXnrB1S9Q/s1600-h/silly+car.gif"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355420103494827282" style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left; width: 85px; height: 77px;" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/SlJGNbvLfRI/AAAAAAAAFLs/1xUXnrB1S9Q/s200/silly+car.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She is a mother to more than just one child, a thing that has been very unpopular for several decades now. Tell some you want more than just 2 kids and you can face some pretty stiff and nasty challenges.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even the new eco-silly cars will not hold a family and there is an agenda in that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Chinese are their examples. Barack Obama has stated that he looks up to the Chinese and their methods and examples.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know those nifty examples: murdering baby girls by the millions, abortions as birth control , prisons packed with religious people , crushing dissenters under tanks, exporting poison products to the world... that China..yeah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She is bright,pretty, a hockey mom who supports her local schools and their activities, she is mother to a child with Downs Syndrome and is capable of caring for him without complaint. She is governor of a very large state, is religiously sincere and firm in belief. She doesn't dress like a fashionista but like a regular, real woman. She speaks like average American women do, without posh accent or put on airs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She is down to earth, easy going and adament on what she believes. She is right on target, hence she is being fired upon from all angles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She refused the private jet as Governor and other wasteful perks thus convicting and showing up some like Madam Pelosi who demanded her own super sized , super expensive, mega polluting big jet. The left can't stand that. They require hypocrites like Al Gore who talks the talk but would never walk the walk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(remember after 9 11 when the air ports shut down all pollution in the air was GONE!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She is the quintessential ideal that any one can grow up to be president/Governor, even without George Soros and Commie lurking in the background.Even without being a communist agitator in the streets of Chicago first. She achieved her success without the phony women's lib that has done nothing to aid women at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sarah can't have Chinese raising money to pay her bills for her like Hillary did. She can't very well rent out the Lincoln bedroom . She can't rely on George Soros and others to pay off her debts. The hypocrites won't allow that. It is reserved only for them and is sacrosanct because they are the rich boys and girls who are better than the rest of us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sarah has a real family who like all of us have trials and tribulations,failures, problems and triumphs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sarah's kids serve in the military, have real life problems like we normal people . Sarah's kids attend public school not mega expensive elitist schools where marinated mushrooms on the half shell are considered lunch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know Obama's kids aren't photoshopped like little Trig has been, nor was their parenthood disputed. Obama's kids weren't dragged through the mud like Dave Letterman did to Sarah Palin's little girl , &lt;strong&gt;nor should they be&lt;/strong&gt;. They are little children and deserve to be kept from all the garbage of politics and hate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wonder how David would feel if his own little boy was mocked like he mocked Sarah's young daughter? Can you think about that ? Would he like to have his child linked to sex with a baseball player? And if you want to use age as a criteria.. how about Dave's Mom? Is she old enough for us to pick on. And even if she has passed on, that's no problem for today's court buffoons. They used to call them Court Fools. Indeed it seems accurate. Some things just aren't funny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No, the media has decided to make fun of Sarah Palin and has been at it for a long time now. Maureen Dowd wrote a catty piece that's just dripping with venom and jealousy. It is amazing how hypocritical some can be when they continually bring up the situation of the oldest Palin daughter while at the same time pushing sex in school, pushing condoms and pushing a gay agenda. Sex outside of marriage is no big deal to them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isn't it a bit prudish of them to sit in judgment of a young teen in that light? I mean most of them live a very free wheeling life style yet bite and tear with their teeth when it suits their purpose. The gay community where a kid was adopted and then routinely molested is covered up by the same media that played up Bristol Palin's life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;A woman of valour who can find? for her price is far above rubies. &lt;a name="11"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, and he hath no lack of gain. &lt;a name="12"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hareidi.org/ref/Proverbs31.htm#12" tppabs="http://www.breslov.com/ref/Proverbs31.htm#12"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;She doeth him good and not evil all the days of her life. &lt;a name="13"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hareidi.org/ref/Proverbs31.htm#13" tppabs="http://www.breslov.com/ref/Proverbs31.htm#13"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;She seeketh wool and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands. &lt;a name="14"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.hareidi.org/ref/Proverbs31.htm#14" tppabs="http://www.breslov.com/ref/Proverbs31.htm#14"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;She is like the merchant-ships;

It has always been a prime weapon of the left.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Obama White House and its slave-media have sought to destroy her from the start.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;She says she had decided not to run for reelection. She further stated that she will not put Alaska behind the 8 ball by leaving them with a lame duck Governor but will let her lieutenant governor take over on July 25.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;She spoke without notes, without teleprompter at all in a eloquent , sound and professional way, showing herself to be a real true patriot by the words she used.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;She put the acting president in the White House to shame with her eloquence. It may be that he is in shock now because of the comparison.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;It will be sad to see this woman who did so much for Alaska leave her office, but hopefully she can become a voice for patriotism and what is right in America. We certainly do need that today as the only voices now are from the Washington hacks on both sides of the aisle.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;You know, when Obama is finally impeached for being ineligible for the presidency, perhaps we can have a nice quicky election and Sarah will become President Sarah. Imagine having a real bona fide American as President once again? I like the idea.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I didn't her as vice president. Her experience was too meager at that time but she has now had a while to see Obama's abject failures and learn from them. She spent time learning and she just might now be someone worth voting for.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I would dearly love a good , patriotic woman with strong values as President.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;What a contrast to those female hacks like Hillary or Condoleeza or Stretch Pelosi .Sarah might not have had the experience but she does have integrity which the rest do not. She can learn what she doesn't know, but the others are what they are and it would take years for them to change their morality and their mind set.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Palin is an inherently decent woman, but I think she will leave politics completely since she has had enough of the garbage that is American politics.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;At the moment Gov Palin is twittering about what is happening and saying more info will be forthcoming. She concludes by saying "It is good, stay tuned".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Palin drew much larger crowds than the Kenyan in office who has even less experience in most things than Sarah Palin.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;All the best to her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15530751-1162213082908884198?l=lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/lemon-limemoon/~4/8I7F2aJ5CeE" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com/feeds/1162213082908884198/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15530751&amp;postID=1162213082908884198&amp;isPopup=true" title="1 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15530751/posts/default/1162213082908884198?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15530751/posts/default/1162213082908884198?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/lemon-limemoon/~3/8I7F2aJ5CeE/sarah-palin-resigns.html" title="Sarah Palin Resigns." /><author><name>Lemon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11656854855385193867</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="01441433587161382621" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/Sk5vTYcq57I/AAAAAAAAFLc/_fcgWsvq_Vo/s72-c/Sarah+Palin.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">1</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com/2009/07/sarah-palin-resigns.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;DEYAQ3c-eCp7ImA9WxJVFUQ.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15530751.post-541466285290812686</id><published>2009-07-02T07:40:00.007-04:00</published><updated>2009-07-03T00:42:22.950-04:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-07-03T00:42:22.950-04:00</app:edited><title>July ...Solar and Lunar Eclipses</title><content type="html">&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/Sk2Iw5Dk0AI/AAAAAAAAFLU/GFemtLRdaoc/s1600-h/MOON.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354085905544302594" style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left; width: 296px; height: 242px;" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/Sk2Iw5Dk0AI/AAAAAAAAFLU/GFemtLRdaoc/s400/MOON.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;On July 3, Earth reaches aphelion, its annual position in orbit farthest from the Sun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;July 7th will see an eclipse of the moon, while July 21-22 will witness a full and total eclipse of the sun.  Neither is a good sign.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;July 7 is a Penumbral Eclipse of the Moon.  Another site online says: "The lighter part of Earth's shadow is call the "penumbra" and the totally dark part is called the "umbra". If you see a chart that says the lunar eclipse is going to be penumbral, this means that the Moon will only pass through the lighter part of Earth's shadow." This eclipse will be fully visible from western and central parts of North America as well as Alaska and Hawaii.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The total eclipse of the sun will last for 6.7 minutes and be the longest eclipse of the century. Certainly that is of some kind of noteworthy import, though not sure what.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was July 4, 1776 and Thomas Jefferson noted in his “Weather Memorandum Book” that the weather was cloudy, the temperature 76° F.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;July is the month of not much good and once again the Obama White House is up to no good nefarious schemes that aid evil.  His "think tank" says that Israel should cede control of Jerusalem to a 3rd party. Evil idea, evil men. It is the beginning of a full take over of Jerusalem by other nations and an attempt to take all of Israel probably. I think the think tank should be ceded to a 3rd party... preferably on Neptune.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the Jerusalem Post has this little gem of news:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"Daniel Kurtzer, an Orthodox Jew and diplomat who has been credited with coining the concept “land for peace” and insisting long ago that Jerusalem be included in Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, was the moderator. He said that discussing the option of imposing a settlement freeze on Jerusalem would make it easier to have serious negotiations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kurtzer further warned that a solution for Jerusalem had better be found before Israel builds its E-1 housing project near Maaleh Adumim and before the City of David (Silwan) Jewish settlement project proceeds much further."&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These people have no clue what they are doing or who they are fooling with. The solution for Jerusalem was found thousands of years ago even before the Beit Ha Mikdash was built there. That was the entire story and there is no other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When people try to take over and remake and redo what G-d has ordained, they will find that their names will live in infamy and their plans, while they might succeed for a little while, will ultimately come to nothing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;G-d has already foretold what will be with Eretz Israel. There is no other outcome except the one he has in store.  So rage and rave on as they will, in the end those who think they can dispose of the heritage that G-d gave to Israel will come to nothing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tehillim (Psalms) 2 asks why the nations rage and mutter in vain. Yes they beat their heads against brick walls with their plans and while they might see a little success for a small space of time in the end the nations of the world who fight against Israel are beaten down entirely.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15530751-541466285290812686?l=lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/lemon-limemoon/~4/jk6OEBuaoyI" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com/feeds/541466285290812686/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15530751&amp;postID=541466285290812686&amp;isPopup=true" title="2 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15530751/posts/default/541466285290812686?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15530751/posts/default/541466285290812686?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/lemon-limemoon/~3/jk6OEBuaoyI/july-solar-and-lunar-eclipses.html" title="July ...Solar and Lunar Eclipses" /><author><name>Lemon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11656854855385193867</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="01441433587161382621" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/Sk2Iw5Dk0AI/AAAAAAAAFLU/GFemtLRdaoc/s72-c/MOON.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">2</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com/2009/07/july-solar-and-lunar-eclipses.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;DkEFQno5fCp7ImA9WxJVFU0.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15530751.post-8920684951152475579</id><published>2009-07-01T18:58:00.007-04:00</published><updated>2009-07-01T23:16:53.424-04:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-07-01T23:16:53.424-04:00</app:edited><title>“It's shocking.

They didn’t try.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“What the hell do they think we are, puppets?” Thomas said. “They’re supposed to stay out of our business. They are our public servants. We pay them.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thomas said she was especially concerned about the arrangement between the Obama Administration and a writer from the liberal Huffington Post Web site. The writer was invited by the White House to President Obama’s press conference last week on the understanding that he would ask Obama a question about Iran from among questions that had been sent to him by people in Iran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“When you call the reporter the night before you know damn well what they are going to ask to control you,” Thomas said.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It should not be a shock since the take over of the media by government has been going on since Obama began his campaign and we really just about do have a state run media now. There is very little in the way of serious criticism or opinion about the man in the mainstream press.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the process by which Obama controls the media and what the public hear is so awful that it shocked even Helen Thomas, who, at 89 has seen a lot of shenanigans in the White House.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Carol Marin of the Chicago Sun Times said this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;“As ferociously as we march like villagers with torches against Blagojevich, we have been, in the true spirit of the Bizarro universe, the polar opposite with the president-elect. Deferential, eager to please, prepared to keep a careful distance." &lt;/blockquote&gt;And Les Kinsolving, White House Reporter and "the nation's un-labeled talk show host! Just when you think he's conservative, he's liberal. And just when you think he's liberal, he's in the center" said :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Carol Marin report in the Sun Times of Barack Obama's Chicago is so serious a warning of presidential press conferences that are "fixed" in advance with some reporters selected for questions and others left out, that it raises the serious question as to whether such reportorial selectees by Obama may not have supplied him with their questions in advance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CNS news has the entire exchange with Helen Thomas  &lt;a href="http://www.cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=50445"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;   Its worth a read because when someone like Helen Thomas is shocked it has to be really bad. Wikipedia has a good post about Helen Thomas herself &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Thomas"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can hear Les Kinsolving's commentary &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://leskinsolving.com/"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; daily from 8 to 11 PM on your own computer.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15530751-8920684951152475579?l=lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/lemon-limemoon/~4/2owFEbfvtnY" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com/feeds/8920684951152475579/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15530751&amp;postID=8920684951152475579&amp;isPopup=true" title="3 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15530751/posts/default/8920684951152475579?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15530751/posts/default/8920684951152475579?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/lemon-limemoon/~3/2owFEbfvtnY/its-shocking-its-really-shocking.html" title="“It's shocking.

By &lt;strong&gt;the conventional wisdom, events in Iran represent an oppressive regime crushing a popular rising. If so, it is odd that the U.S. president would raise the question of what has happened in Iran.&lt;br /&gt;In reality, Obama’s point is well taken. This is because the real &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.stratfor.com/geopolitical_diary/20090621_geopolitical_diary_irans_battles_streets_and_behind_scenes" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;struggle in Iran has not yet been settled&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;, nor was it ever about the liberalization of the regime. Rather, it has been about the &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.stratfor.com/analysis/20090610_iran_presidential_election_and_metamorphosis" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;role of the clergy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt; — particularly the old-guard clergy — in Iranian life, and the future of particular personalities among this clergy.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;u&gt;Ahmadinejad Against the Clerical Elite&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Iranian President Mahmoud &lt;a href="http://www.stratfor.com/geopolitical_diary/20090607_geopolitical_diary_irans_political_system_approaching_impasse" target="_blank"&gt;Ahmadinejad ran his re-election campaign against the old clerical elite&lt;/a&gt;, charging them with corruption, luxurious living and running the state for their own benefit rather than that of the people. He particularly targeted Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, an extremely senior leader, and his family. Indeed, during the demonstrations, Rafsanjani’s daughter and four other relatives were arrested, held and then released a day later.&lt;br /&gt;Rafsanjani represents the class of clergy that came to power in 1979. He served as president from 1989-1997, but Ahmadinejad defeated him in 2005. Rafsanjani carries enormous clout within the system as head of the regime’s two most powerful institutions — the Expediency Council, which arbitrates between the Guardian Council and parliament, and the Assembly of Experts, whose powers include oversight of the supreme leader. Forbes has called him one of the wealthiest men in the world. Rafsanjani, in other words, remains at the heart of the post-1979 Iranian establishment.&lt;br /&gt;Ahmadinejad expressly ran his recent presidential campaign against Rafsanjani, using the latter’s family’s vast wealth to discredit Rafsanjani along with many of the senior clerics who dominate the Iranian political scene. It was not the regime as such that he opposed, but the individuals who currently dominate it. Ahmadinejad wants to retain the regime, but he wants to repopulate the leadership councils with clerics who share his populist values and want to revive the ascetic foundations of the regime. The Iranian president constantly contrasts his own modest lifestyle with the opulence of the current religious leadership.&lt;br /&gt;Recognizing the threat Ahmadinejad represented to him personally and to the clerical class he belongs to, Rafsanjani fired back at Ahmadinejad, accusing him of having wrecked the economy. At his side were other powerful members of the regime, including Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani, who has made no secret of his antipathy toward Ahmadinejad and whose family links to the Shiite holy city of Qom give him substantial leverage. The underlying issue was about the kind of people who ought to be leading the clerical establishment. &lt;strong&gt;The battlefield was economic: Ahmadinejad’s charges of financial corruption versus charges of economic mismanagement leveled by Rafsanjani and others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;When Ahmadinejad defeated Mir Hossein Mousavi on the night of the election, the clerical elite saw themselves in serious danger. The margin of victory Ahmadinejad claimed might have given him the political clout to challenge their position. Mousavi immediately claimed fraud, and Rafsanjani backed him up. &lt;strong&gt;Whatever the motives of those in the streets, the real action was a knife fight between Ahmadinejad and Rafsanjani&lt;/strong&gt;. By the end of the week, Khamenei decided to end the situation. In essence, he tried to hold things together by ordering the demonstrations to halt while throwing a bone to Rafsanjani and Mousavi by extending a probe into the election irregularities and postponing a partial recount by five days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;The Struggle Within the Regime&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The key to understanding the situation in Iran is realizing that the past weeks have seen &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.stratfor.com/weekly/20090622_iranian_election_and_revolution_test" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;not an uprising against the regime&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;, but a struggle within the regi&lt;/strong&gt;me. Ahmadinejad is not part of the establishment, but rather has been struggling against it, accusing it of having betrayed the principles of the Islamic Revolution. The post-election unrest in Iran therefore was not a matter of a repressive regime suppressing liberals (as in Prague in 1989), but a struggle between &lt;a href="http://www.stratfor.com/geopolitical_diary/20090504_geopolitical_diary_irans_crisis_deepens" target="_blank"&gt;two Islamist factions&lt;/a&gt; that are each committed to the regime, but opposed to each other.&lt;br /&gt;The demonstrators certainly included Western-style liberalizing elements, but they also included adherents of senior clerics who wanted to block Ahmadinejad’s re-election. And while &lt;a href="http://www.stratfor.com/analysis/20090622_iran_chatham_house_report_and_election_irregularities" target="_blank"&gt;Ahmadinejad undoubtedly committed electoral fraud&lt;/a&gt; to bulk up his numbers, his ability to commit unlimited fraud was blocked, because very powerful people looking for a chance to bring him down were arrayed against him.&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;a href="http://www.stratfor.com/analysis/20090623_iran_ahmadinejads_turbulent_second_term" target="_blank"&gt;situation is even more complex&lt;/a&gt; because it is not simply a fight between Ahmadinejad and the clerics, but also a fight among the clerical elite regarding perks and privileges — and Ahmadinejad is himself being used within this infighting. The Iranian president’s populism suits the interests of clerics who oppose Rafsanjani; Ahmadinejad is their battering ram. But as Ahmadinejad increases his power, he could turn on his patrons very quickly. In short, the political situation in Iran is extremely volatile, just not for the reason that the media portrayed.&lt;br /&gt;Rafsanjani is an extraordinarily powerful figure in the establishment who clearly sees Ahmadinejad and his faction as a mortal threat. Ahmadinejad’s ability to survive the unified opposition of the clergy, election or not, is not at all certain. But the problem is that there is no unified clergy. The supreme leader is clearly trying to find a &lt;a href="http://www.stratfor.com/analysis/20090624_iran_government_infighting_continues" target="_blank"&gt;new political balance&lt;/a&gt; while making it clear that public unrest will not be tolerated. Removing “public unrest” (i.e., demonstrations) from the tool kits of both sides may take away one of Rafsanjani’s more effective tools. But ultimately, it actually could benefit him. Should the internal politics move against the Iranian president, it would be Ahmadinejad — who has a substantial public following — who would not be able to have his supporters take to the streets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;u&gt;The View From the West&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The question for the rest of the world is simple: Does it matter who wins this fight?&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;We would argue that the policy differences between Ahmadinejad and Rafsanjani are minimal and probably would not affect Iran’s foreign relations. This fight simply isn’t about foreign policy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rafsanjani has frequently been held up in the West as a pragmatist who opposes Ahmadinejad’s radicalism. Rafsanjani certainly opposes Ahmadinejad and is happy to portray the Iranian president as harmful to Iran, but it is hard to imagine significant shifts in foreign policy if Rafsanjani’s faction came out on top.&lt;/strong&gt; Khamenei has approved Iran’s foreign policy under Ahmadinejad, and Khamenei works to maintain broad consensus on policies. Ahmadinejad’s policies were vetted by Khamenei and the system that Rafsanjani is part of. It is possible that Rafsanjani secretly harbors different views, but if he does, anyone predicting what these might be is guessing.&lt;br /&gt;Rafsanjani is a pragmatist in the sense that he systematically has accumulated power and wealth. He seems concerned about the Iranian economy, which is reasonable because he owns a lot of it. Ahmadinejad’s entire charge against him is that Rafsanjani is only interested in his own economic well-being. These political charges notwithstanding, Rafsanjani was part of the 1979 revolution, as were Ahmadinejad and the rest of the political and clerical elite. It would be a massive mistake to think that any leadership elements have abandoned those principles.&lt;br /&gt;When the West looks at Iran, two concerns are expressed. The first relates to the Iranian nuclear program, and the second relates to Iran’s support for terrorists, particularly Hezbollah. Neither Iranian faction is liable to abandon either, because both make geopolitical sense for Iran and give it regional leverage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.stratfor.com/analysis/geopolitics_iran_holding_center_mountain_fortress" target="_blank"&gt;Tehran’s primary concern is regime survival&lt;/a&gt;, and this has two elements. The first is deterring an attack on Iran, while the second is extending Iran’s reach so that such an attack could be countered. There are U.S. troops on both sides of the Islamic Republic, and the United States has expressed hostility to the regime. The &lt;a href="http://www.stratfor.com/weekly/war_plans_united_states_and_iran" target="_blank"&gt;Iranians are envisioning a worst-case scenario, assuming the worst possible U.S. intentions&lt;/a&gt;, and this will remain true no matter who runs the government.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.stratfor.com/analysis/20090226_iran_challenge_independent_enrichment" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;We do not believe that Iran is close to obtaining a nuclear weapon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#3333ff;"&gt;, a point we have made frequently&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. Iran understands that the actual acquisition of a nuclear weapon would lead to immediate U.S. or Israeli attacks. &lt;strong&gt;Accordingly, &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.stratfor.com/tertiary_powers_and_nuclear_gambit" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Iran’s ideal position is to be seen as developing nuclear weapons&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;, but not close to having them&lt;/strong&gt;. This gives Tehran a platform for bargaining without triggering Iran’s destruction, a task at which it has proved sure-footed.&lt;br /&gt;In addition, Iran has maintained capabilities in Iraq and Lebanon. Should the United States or Israel attack, Iran would thus be able to counter by doing everything possible to destabilize Iraq — bogging down U.S. forces there — while simultaneously &lt;a href="http://www.stratfor.com/weekly/irans_hezbollah_card" target="_blank"&gt;using Hezbollah’s global reach&lt;/a&gt; to carry out terror attacks. After all, Hezbollah is today’s al Qaeda on steroids. The radical Shiite group’s ability, coupled with that of Iranian intelligence, is substantial.&lt;br /&gt;We see no likelihood that any Iranian government would abandon this two-pronged strategy without substantial guarantees and concessions from the West. Those would have to include guarantees of noninterference in Iranian affairs. Obama, of course, has been aware of this bedrock condition, which is why he went out of his way before the election to assure Khamenei in a letter that the United States had no intention of interfering.&lt;br /&gt;Though Iran did not hesitate to lash out at CNN’s coverage of the protests, the Iranians know that the U.S. government doesn’t control CNN’s coverage. But Tehran takes a slightly different view of the BBC. The Iranians saw the &lt;a href="http://www.stratfor.com/weekly/20090615_western_misconceptions_meet_iranian_reality" target="_blank"&gt;depiction of the demonstrations as a democratic uprising&lt;/a&gt; against a repressive regime as a deliberate attempt by British state-run media to inflame the situation. This allowed the Iranians to vigorously blame some foreigner for the unrest without making the United States the primary villain.&lt;br /&gt;But these minor atmospherics aside, we would make three points. First, there was no democratic uprising of any significance in Iran. Second, there is a major political crisis within the Iranian political elite, the outcome of which probably tilts toward Ahmadinejad but remains uncertain. Third, there will be no change in the substance of Iran’s foreign policy, regardless of the outcome of this fight. The fantasy of a democratic revolution overthrowing the Islamic Republic — and thus solving everyone’s foreign policy problems a la the 1991 Soviet collapse — has passed.&lt;br /&gt;That means that Obama, as the primary player in Iranian foreign affairs, must now define an &lt;a href="http://www.stratfor.com/geopolitical_diary/20090624_geopolitical_diary_shift_u_s_israeli_drama" target="_blank"&gt;Iran policy&lt;/a&gt; — particularly given Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak’s meeting in Washington with U.S. Middle East envoy George Mitchell this Monday. Obama has said that nothing that has happened in Iran makes dialogue impossible, but opening dialogue is easier said than done. The Republicans consistently have opposed an opening to Iran; now they are joined by Democrats, who oppose dialogue with nations they regard as human rights violators. Obama still has room for maneuver, but it is not clear where he thinks he is maneuvering. The Iranians have consistently rejected dialogue if it involves any preconditions. But given the events of the past weeks, and the perceptions about them that have now been locked into the public mind, Obama isn’t going to be able to make many concessions.&lt;br /&gt;It would appear to us that in this, as in many other things, Obama will be following the Bush strategy — namely, &lt;a href="http://www.stratfor.com/geopolitical_diary/20090515_geopolitical_diary_familiar_u_s_israeli_course_iran" target="_blank"&gt;criticizing Iran without actually doing anything&lt;/a&gt; about it. And so he goes to Moscow more aware than ever that Russia could cause the United States a great deal of pain if it proceeded with weapons transfers to Iran, a country locked in a political crisis and unlikely to emerge from it in a pleasant state of mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;emphasis mine throughout, except for links.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15530751-598096971192694254?l=lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/lemon-limemoon/~4/aM8IEcSaqBU" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com/feeds/598096971192694254/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15530751&amp;postID=598096971192694254&amp;isPopup=true" title="1 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15530751/posts/default/598096971192694254?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15530751/posts/default/598096971192694254?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/lemon-limemoon/~3/aM8IEcSaqBU/sratfor-intelligence-report-whats.html" title="Stratfor Intelligence Report: What's Really Going on in Iran?" /><author><name>Lemon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11656854855385193867</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="01441433587161382621" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/SkpDfv8aVZI/AAAAAAAAFLE/UjFq1MITv4E/s72-c/Geo.bmp" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">1</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com/2009/06/sratfor-intelligence-report-whats.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;C0MBSHg_eCp7ImA9WxJVE0U.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15530751.post-38968770077119765</id><published>2009-06-29T14:42:00.009-04:00</published><updated>2009-06-30T13:04:19.640-04:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-06-30T13:04:19.640-04:00</app:edited><title>No, You Can't Just Sell Your House</title><content type="html">&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/SkkTmIrFqrI/AAAAAAAAFK8/t8eyizkU6Ns/s1600-h/police.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352831177990711986" style="FLOAT: left;

And the love of money surpasses even the love of G-d for most. The comments that have come out of the entire fiasco are pretty revealing as to where people place their love and values.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It's not that money isn't important. It's not that Bernard Madoff didn't do an awful thing and it's not as if people haven't suffered as a result, and yes he should go to jail, but this post isn't about that. It's about the dramatic phrases used that reveal something more here&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Often times when you hear of a horrific murder trial you hear of the family "forgiving" the killer.Even in cases of rape etc. you hear the family or the victim saying, "we forgive" . "We forgive. We just ask that this never happen again"...etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the case of money, however, there are rarely calls for forgiveness,just revenge and plenty of it! So what's up that lost money is unforgivable but murder is?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I recall one person saying that what Bernard Madoff did was worse than murder. I believe it was a serious statement. But, who knows. It is revealing though and today the press is filled with comments calling it an , "indescribably heinous crime" .&lt;br /&gt;There is even forgiveness for 9 11. Wow. The holocaust is "unfortunate portion of history" but stealing money is a heinous crime. Just calling attention to the weight that things are given by humanity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bernie, it's too bad it involved money .

Mishlei (proverbs) 13:22&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When this present admininstration is done the United States of America will be in debt to the tune of &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;12 Trillion dollars public debt and 11 Trillion dollars in private personal debt&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;It is not simply the fault of this present administration. This has been long in the making, but this administration is pushing it hard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The interest alone on that debt is&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt; 26 Billion dollars per month.Thats 300 Billion per year just in interest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;In the next 20 years or so years that interest will rise to over &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;800 Billion&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and not one cent of the principle will be paid down. It will be paid out to foreign nations who will in effect own us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The United States will effectively be so far in debt that it cannot ever hope to emerge.

And believe me friends, our creditors will demand payment. Don't be naive!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Social Security and Medicare are huge Ponzi schemes . The money in them was taken out of the trust fund by the government until it is completely empty now. That money was meant to stay in the trust fund.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The US has pledged out&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;14.6 Trillion in IOU's&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; for social security to replace all they "borrowed" .&lt;br /&gt;Part A and B of medicare have unfunded liabilities of &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;68 Trillion&lt;/strong&gt; dollars.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Social Security and Medicare have 99.2 Trillion dollars in liabilities&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;But still the spend and tax goes on and on and on and wars are fought that deplete us ever more and we are fast winding down to nothing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;After Roosevelt called a bank holiday in 1936, the people had their gold taken from them and all of their silver certificates too. Silver certificates are what dollar bills used to be.&lt;br /&gt;They say "pay to bearer on demand(this amount) in silver". They replaced them with Federal Reserve Notes based on nothing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This fall the US Government will call for another bank holiday.&lt;br /&gt;What will they take from you this time and with what shall they replace it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are in dire trouble friends and world war is looming on the horizon.&lt;br /&gt;Few watchmen are manning the walls or sounding the alarm anymore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Post Script:&lt;br /&gt;The Obama administration is a culmination of the work of many previous administratons.

It now seems that they and others who felt the ship was used as a way of forcing the US into the war, were right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can read a bit more about it &lt;a href="http://www.archaeology.org/0901/trenches/lusitania.html"&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt; if you like.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The governments involved denied that they had placed almost 2,000 innocent lives in jeopardy and denied that they would ever do anything like that in order to interest people in a war. Today several articles chalked up this information about the death of nearly 2,000 as merely being &lt;em&gt;'not Britain's finest hour'&lt;/em&gt;. Yeah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/SkMZy0s3PrI/AAAAAAAAFJc/EdgVMFFW5AE/s1600-h/lusitania_nyt.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351149143177248434" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 260px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/SkMZy0s3PrI/AAAAAAAAFJc/EdgVMFFW5AE/s400/lusitania_nyt.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;1,260 men, women and children were killed because the ship they were travelling on had been used to covertly transport ammunition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well it certainly got the US citizenry up in arms comparatively quickly. President Wilson had repeatedly stated that if any ship with Americans onboard were fired on, we would enter the war. It became his mantra actually.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;American citizens were very staunchly isolationist in those times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It took rescue boats over four hours to arrive at the scene just 12 miles off the coast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/SkOt2xB95yI/AAAAAAAAFKE/xUTwc2FAMco/s1600-h/lusitania.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351311938632410914" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 235px; HEIGHT: 360px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/SkOt2xB95yI/AAAAAAAAFKE/xUTwc2FAMco/s400/lusitania.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under the "rules of war", this made the Lusitania a legitimate target, argue as we might over this kind of thing. The sinking of the Lusitania was used as a reason to force the United States into World War I.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;President Woodrow Wilson called this &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;"a warfare against mankind." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;WOW..go for broke Woody and &lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"The wrongs against which we now array ourselves are no common wrongs; they cut to the very roots of human life." &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Wilson would hold Germany to &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;"strict accountability&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;"! There is no information on who would hold him to strict accountability though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/SkOhOH1b7kI/AAAAAAAAFJk/dhlJPqaQqkE/s1600-h/lusitania-warning305x543.gif"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351298046239698498" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 225px; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/SkOhOH1b7kI/AAAAAAAAFJk/dhlJPqaQqkE/s400/lusitania-warning305x543.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before the sailing the German Embassy warned in over 50 newspapers that traveling in a war area was just not a wise thing to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the sinking posters began to appear all over America and Europe angering the public and demanding retribution and urging young men to enlist in the war effort to defeat the those who had so wantonly sunk an innocent ship carrying nothing seemingly but babies and beautiful women.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;German's creation of a corridor off in Irish waters was a bit of a stretch. Would be for any nation but, then again, filling a passenger ship with ammunition in that situation ... well you know, it was awful all around. Still Germany called it a "brilliant deed", which made it more enemies for the callus response to the deaths.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is this another case in a long line of prior knowledge disasters that was 'ignored'. Oh the questions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Lusitania and the governments knew that 6 German U-boats were waiting for the ship. The Captain, being told at the last moment, tried to maneuver the ship closer to the Irish coast in an effort to keep the top deck above water if the ship sunk so that people could be saved.&lt;br /&gt;It was not to be, however.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seems that the British war cruiser that was assigned to the Lusitania was "called off". My, oh my! How, inconvenient. So the German U-boat fired off a torpedo. It made a little hole in the ship but it would have stayed afloat for at least an hour or more. But low and behold there was another explosion deep inside the ship. Lot of that going on in disasters isn't there? It ensured that the ship was bottom dwelling in 15 minutes flat. That's kind of like free fall speed for a ship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The inquiry was called a sham. Wow.. how could that happen? Inquiries are usually done so well and nothing but truth is ever found by these commissions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/SkOj1k8TnqI/AAAAAAAAFJs/0lPOAvRUz40/s1600-h/ww1-minuteman.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351300923091295906" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 212px; HEIGHT: 327px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/SkOj1k8TnqI/AAAAAAAAFJs/0lPOAvRUz40/s400/ww1-minuteman.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The war was even compared to the American Revolution, if you can imagine that without barfing. But I guess its similar. Archduke guy shot.. go to war. Load up a passenger ship with tons and tons of ammo and then complain when people die.

In those day passenger ships could sail far faster than U-Boats. But the Lusitania was kept at below average speeds.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It was actually 2 years from the sinking of the Lusitania until the US entered the war as it took time for propaganda posters and popular sentiment to maneuver Americans into a commitment. Many went ahead though and enlisted with foreign forces right then and there.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Further exploration is to come to see what was exactly inside beyond or besides what has already been shown.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15530751-4014293484118555677?l=lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/lemon-limemoon/~4/ega0tdCzCQU" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com/feeds/4014293484118555677/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15530751&amp;postID=4014293484118555677&amp;isPopup=true" title="3 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15530751/posts/default/4014293484118555677?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15530751/posts/default/4014293484118555677?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/lemon-limemoon/~3/ega0tdCzCQU/lusitania-gives-up-secrets.html" title="Lusitania Gives Up Secrets" /><author><name>Lemon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11656854855385193867</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="01441433587161382621" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/SkMYipy_V-I/AAAAAAAAFJM/zPVwibkuDmk/s72-c/Enlist+lusitania.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">3</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com/2009/06/lusitania-gives-up-secrets.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;DkUHQHs9cSp7ImA9WxJWGEo.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15530751.post-3689144583879207896</id><published>2009-06-24T08:00:00.007-04:00</published><updated>2009-06-24T16:10:31.569-04:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-06-24T16:10:31.569-04:00</app:edited><title>Making Martyrs of the People of Your Enemy</title><content type="html">"The most common justification for evil is cynicism. The second most common justification for evil is idealism. However, idealism tends to justify the greater evil."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yochana of &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://squibbler.blogspot.com/"&gt;"The Squibbler"&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;has posted about her feelings on Neda Agha Soltan. Yo is blunt and to the point but she makes strong points. She calls us back to reality and makes us think.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mishlei (proverbs) says, "Evil people do not understand justice" and " A wise king scatters the wicked, and brings the wheel over them"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe Goliat was good to his mother. We don't know. Maybe Agag loved his dog. Maybe Haman was nice to someone. Even Izavel (Jezebel) mourned for the dead in funeral processions and gave money for weddings. In man's eyes maybe they were pitied or considered okay. In the eyes of G-d they were evil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why is it that today people identify with the worst and most evil among the nations? The newest thing in the blogger world is to make martyrs out of the dead of Jew-haters. I don't think it's right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First because it makes them martyrs when they are no such thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Secondly, it is too political. If you want to plaster the photos of dead people all over your blog why not Jewish or American martyrs? Where are the photos of the Christians slain by this religion of peace? Why not photos of those who died doing good, those who highlight the inhumanity of the enemy that stalks both Israel and America today. Why is it the Agagites and their children that are highlighted? When the religion of peace kills it's own that is not martyrdom it's their own evil turned on their own people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I use that term 'agagite' because Agag was the always evil ruler of the Amalekites upon whom King Shaul (saul) took pity against the wishes of G-d. When Shmuel ha navi (samuel the prophet) had to do the job of killing the Agag since Shaul would not, G-d punished Shaul by removing the kingship from him and his family and tribe. No little thing that!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"And Samuel said to Saul: 'Thou hast done foolishly; thou hast not kept the commandment of HaShem thy G-d, which He commanded thee; for now would HaShem have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But now thy kingdom shall &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; continue; HaShem hath sought him &lt;strong&gt;a man after His own heart&lt;/strong&gt; (David), and HaShem hath appointed &lt;strong&gt;him&lt;/strong&gt; to be prince over His people, because thou hast not kept that which HaShem commanded thee" I Samuel&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is in tanakh as a lesson. Hey, look! Don't do this!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tanakh is full of such things. Do this, not this. Here is a bad example... avoid it, do this instead. Why don't people read it and learn those lessons? Blow the dust off your tanakh (bibles) people and get down into it. It is a book of tremendous holiness and wisdom that you cannot live your life without. It is the guide book for human living. It is the map that points the way to go and not to go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time and again King David said that he prayed for his enemies. But he prayed for G-d to stop them, eliminate them and to protect David himself. Asking that G-d stop your enemies is the purest form of pity and love you can provide to them. You ask for them to&lt;strong&gt; stop their sinning&lt;/strong&gt;. Is that an awful thing? No, it is the best thing you can ask for someone else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is the prayer of the man after G-d's own heart, a man whom we should learn from:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;א לְדָוִד: רִיבָה יְהוָה, אֶת-יְרִיבַי; לְחַם, אֶת-לֹחֲמָי. 1 A Psalm of David. Strive, O LORD, with them that strive with me; fight against them that fight against me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ב הַחֲזֵק מָגֵן וְצִנָּה; וְקוּמָה, בְּעֶזְרָתִי. 2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and rise up to my help.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ג וְהָרֵק חֲנִית וּסְגֹר, לִקְרַאת רֹדְפָי; אֱמֹר לְנַפְשִׁי, יְשֻׁעָתֵךְ אָנִי. 3 Draw out also the spear, and the battle-axe, against them that pursue me; say unto my soul: 'I am thy salvation.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ד יֵבֹשׁוּ וְיִכָּלְמוּ, מְבַקְשֵׁי נַפְשִׁי: יִסֹּגוּ אָחוֹר וְיַחְפְּרוּ--חֹשְׁבֵי, רָעָתִי. 4 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion that seek after my soul; let them be turned back and be abashed that devise my hurt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ה יִהְיוּ, כְּמֹץ לִפְנֵי-רוּחַ; וּמַלְאַךְ יְהוָה דּוֹחֶה. 5 Let them be as chaff before the wind, the angel of the LORD thrusting them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ו יְהִי-דַרְכָּם, חֹשֶׁךְ וַחֲלַקְלַקֹּת; וּמַלְאַךְ יְהוָה, רֹדְפָם. 6 Let their way be dark and slippery, the angel of the LORD pursuing them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ז כִּי-חִנָּם טָמְנוּ-לִי, שַׁחַת רִשְׁתָּם; חִנָּם, חָפְרוּ לְנַפְשִׁי. 7 For without cause have they hid for me the pit, even their net, without cause have they digged for my soul.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ח תְּבוֹאֵהוּ שׁוֹאָה, לֹא-יֵדָע:&lt;br /&gt;וְרִשְׁתּוֹ אֲשֶׁר-טָמַן תִּלְכְּדוֹ; בְּשׁוֹאָה, יִפָּל-בָּהּ. 8 Let destruction come upon him unawares;&lt;br /&gt;and let his net that he hath hid catch himself; with destruction let him fall therein.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ט וְנַפְשִׁי, תָּגִיל בַּיהוָה; תָּשִׂישׂ, בִּישׁוּעָתוֹ. 9 And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD; it shall rejoice in His salvation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;י כָּל עַצְמוֹתַי, תֹּאמַרְנָה-- יְהוָה, מִי כָמוֹךָ:&lt;br /&gt;מַצִּיל עָנִי, מֵחָזָק מִמֶּנּוּ; וְעָנִי וְאֶבְיוֹן, מִגֹּזְלוֹ. 10 All my bones shall say: 'LORD, who is like unto Thee, who deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;יא יְקוּמוּן, עֵדֵי חָמָס: אֲשֶׁר לֹא-יָדַעְתִּי, יִשְׁאָלוּנִי. 11 Unrighteous witnesses rise up; they ask me of things that I know not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;יב יְשַׁלְּמוּנִי רָעָה, תַּחַת טוֹבָה: שְׁכוֹל לְנַפְשִׁי. 12 They repay me evil for good; bereavement is come to my soul.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;יג וַאֲנִי, בַּחֲלוֹתָם לְבוּשִׁי שָׂק-- עִנֵּיתִי בַצּוֹם נַפְשִׁי;&lt;br /&gt;וּתְפִלָּתִי, עַל-חֵיקִי תָשׁוּב. 13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth, I afflicted my soul with fasting; and my prayer, may it return into mine own bosom.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;יד כְּרֵעַ-כְּאָח לִי, הִתְהַלָּכְתִּי; כַּאֲבֶל-אֵם, קֹדֵר שַׁחוֹתִי. 14 I went about as though it had been my friend or my brother; I bowed down mournful, as one that mourneth for his mother.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;טו וּבְצַלְעִי, שָׂמְחוּ וְנֶאֱסָפוּ:&lt;br /&gt;נֶאֶסְפוּ עָלַי נֵכִים, וְלֹא יָדַעְתִּי;&lt;br /&gt;קָרְעוּ וְלֹא-דָמּוּ. 15 But when I halt they rejoice, and gather themselves together; the abjects gather themselves together against me, and those whom I know not; they tear me, and cease not;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;טז בְּחַנְפֵי, לַעֲגֵי מָעוֹג-- חָרֹק עָלַי שִׁנֵּימוֹ. 16 With the profanest mockeries of backbiting they gnash at me with their teeth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;יז אֲדֹנָי, כַּמָּה תִּרְאֶה:&lt;br /&gt;הָשִׁיבָה נַפְשִׁי, מִשֹּׁאֵיהֶם; מִכְּפִירִים, יְחִידָתִי. 17 Lord, how long wilt Thou look on? Rescue my soul from their destructions, mine only one from the lions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;יח אוֹדְךָ, בְּקָהָל רָב; בְּעַם עָצוּם אֲהַלְלֶךָּ. 18 I will give Thee thanks in the great congregation; I will praise Thee among a numerous people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;יט אַל-יִשְׂמְחוּ-לִי אֹיְבַי שֶׁקֶר; שֹׂנְאַי חִנָּם, יִקְרְצוּ-עָיִן. 19 Let not them that are wrongfully mine enemies rejoice over me; neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;כ כִּי לֹא שָׁלוֹם, יְדַבֵּרוּ: וְעַל רִגְעֵי-אֶרֶץ--דִּבְרֵי מִרְמוֹת, יַחֲשֹׁבוּן. 20 For they speak not peace; but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;כא וַיַּרְחִיבוּ עָלַי, פִּיהֶם: אָמְרוּ, הֶאָח הֶאָח; רָאֲתָה עֵינֵנוּ. 21 Yea, they open their mouth wide against me; they say: 'Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;כב רָאִיתָה יְהוָה, אַל-תֶּחֱרַשׁ; אֲדֹנָי, אַל-תִּרְחַק מִמֶּנִּי. 22 Thou hast seen, O LORD; keep not silence; O Lord, be not far from me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;כג הָעִירָה וְהָקִיצָה, לְמִשְׁפָּטִי; אֱלֹהַי וַאדֹנָי לְרִיבִי. 23 Rouse Thee, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;כד שָׁפְטֵנִי כְצִדְקְךָ, יְהוָה אֱלֹהָי; וְאַל-יִשְׂמְחוּ-לִי. 24 Judge me, O LORD my God, according to Thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;כה אַל-יֹאמְרוּ בְלִבָּם, הֶאָח נַפְשֵׁנוּ; אַל-יֹאמְרוּ, בִּלַּעֲנוּהוּ. 25 Let them not say in their heart: 'Aha, we have our desire'; let them not say: 'We have swallowed him up.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;כו יֵבֹשׁוּ וְיַחְפְּרוּ, יַחְדָּו-- שְׂמֵחֵי רָעָתִי:&lt;br /&gt;יִלְבְּשׁוּ-בֹשֶׁת וּכְלִמָּה-- הַמַּגְדִּילִים עָלָי. 26 Let them be ashamed and abashed together that rejoice at my hurt; let them be clothed with shame and confusion that magnify themselves against me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;כז יָרֹנּוּ וְיִשְׂמְחוּ, חֲפֵצֵי צִדְקִי:&lt;br /&gt;וְיֹאמְרוּ תָמִיד, יִגְדַּל יְהוָה; הֶחָפֵץ, שְׁלוֹם עַבְדּוֹ. 27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that delight in my righteousness; yea, let them say continually: 'Magnified be the LORD, who delighteth in the peace of His servant.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;כח וּלְשׁוֹנִי, תֶּהְגֶּה צִדְקֶךָ; כָּל-הַיּוֹם, תְּהִלָּתֶךָ. 28 And my tongue shall speak of Thy righteousness, and of Thy praise all the day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note that David's requests were that his enemies be stopped . It is not a misplaced pity on his part. David built no memorials to the enemies of his people, the enemies of G-d himself and neither should we.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#000099;"&gt;When G-d has your enemies at each other's throats.. Stay out of it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When did sympathy for the devil become so powerful in Americans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e80/lemonannie/Chairy.gif" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15530751-3689144583879207896?l=lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/lemon-limemoon/~4/zGT7wCJVblA" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com/feeds/3689144583879207896/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15530751&amp;postID=3689144583879207896&amp;isPopup=true" title="2 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15530751/posts/default/3689144583879207896?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15530751/posts/default/3689144583879207896?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/lemon-limemoon/~3/zGT7wCJVblA/making-martyrs-of-people-of-your-enemy.html" title="Making Martyrs of the People of Your Enemy" /><author><name>Lemon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11656854855385193867</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="01441433587161382621" /></author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">2</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com/2009/06/making-martyrs-of-people-of-your-enemy.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;CEMMRHY5cSp7ImA9WxJWGE0.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15530751.post-1087934967622740869</id><published>2009-06-23T20:07:00.005-04:00</published><updated>2009-06-23T20:14:45.829-04:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-06-23T20:14:45.829-04:00</app:edited><title>Germany Aims for Coup in Iran</title><content type="html">&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/SkFvW7oNyyI/AAAAAAAAFJE/G6KvR0AjQyM/s1600-h/german-flag10009.gif"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350680272047033122" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 120px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/SkFvW7oNyyI/AAAAAAAAFJE/G6KvR0AjQyM/s400/german-flag10009.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;German Foreign Policy. com is saying that certain German organizations are now actively trying to foment a coup in Iran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;TEHERAN/BERLIN&lt;br /&gt;(Own report) - In spite of explicit warnings, German&lt;br /&gt;organizations are trying to escalate the internal power struggles in Iran. The&lt;br /&gt;state-financed Deutsche Welle radio station is one of the foreign broadcasters,&lt;br /&gt;whose Farsi-language program is firing the protesters on, with hourly reports on&lt;br /&gt;reactions from the west. Party-affiliated foundations, including the German Free&lt;br /&gt;Democratic Party (FDP) -affiliated Friedrich Naumann Foundation are offering&lt;br /&gt;their partnership to those opposing the central structures of Iran's government.&lt;br /&gt;After initial hesitations, the German Foreign Ministry has also begun to openly&lt;br /&gt;intervene in the domestic affairs of a fellow UN member nation, making "demands"&lt;br /&gt;on the government of a sovereign country.

Well tough nuggies Nick.Grow up and act like a man.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who in the world does Nick think he is dealing with here? Rational folk or something? Nations that love and respect women? Of all the nerve. Why I oughta.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Imagine the nerve of this man thinking that women are not dirty sex objects to be hidden away from the sun by any means possible, even the making up of traditions that destroy her. Imagine that! Why it's downright inhuman. It is downright otherworldly. It is almost a true godly thought!! We can't have any of that going on. So what if lack of vitamin D from sunshine is a prime cause of breast cancer. That's her problem .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Imagine thinking that women are able to clothe and dress themselves without the help of some lecherous male whose only hobby in life is looking at women to see how they are dressed or not dressed, how they look or don't look to men. Why it's unheard of. Women must be told what to wear and when and what to think and say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next he will be implying that perverts are evil or something and not the innocent victims of woman and children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Women will tell you that these lawn leaf bag looks are "liberating" and "freedom". But then again, woman are inferior and stupid. The only opinions women should have are the ones men give them!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Women will tell you its liberation, just as North Koreans will tell you that Kim Jung Il is a dear leader and just as we call civilian deaths collateral damage but, be that as it may, &lt;strike&gt;these brainwashed twits&lt;/strike&gt; women know that covering themselves in heat and humidity until they are ready to pass out is what some people's gods demand of them! Some gods love fungal infections and heat rash and suffering is very liberating and righteous too. Some people's gods demand self flagellation you know. And you can't judge either!&lt;br /&gt;Nicolas , I suggest you leave the governing of women to men who know more about it than you. Men who have taken hatred for the other half of humanity and their children down to a cold science. I suggest you take your sentiments on the equality of women and ditch them in the Seine where they belong, &lt;strong&gt;you big mouth!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The kind of radical thinking on the part of Nicolas Sarkozy can only lead to anarchy and men who are tainted by the thoughts of their own minds. Ahh you say.. "thoughts of their own minds!" there's the rub. You think you see a loophole don't you? Well simmer down you heretics, that is the fault of women too. It is women . It is always the fault of women. Everything is the fault of women. Get your heads on straight, will you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sarkozy better wake up fast and realize that men are not responsible for their own actions and sins. It is always the fault of some woman somewhere.Don't let Sarkozy and women who think for themselves get away with this blatant attempt at freedom and equality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course even women are not totally to blame for their own inadequacy , stupidity and inability to govern them selves in an adult manner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our dear father Adam knew the truth when he blasted G-d for creating women in the first place and thus making him sin. Who can forget his now famous accusation against his Creator ? Why it is something every man should memorize:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#f9cb9c;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;"Well that woman YOU gave me........."&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;Learn it... love it...live it!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was all G-d's fault in the first place after all. That's why we had to go out and invent new ones to replace him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way in thinking things over I decided that a lawn leaf sack/bag might make a terrific waterproof burqa.Just cut some eye holes maybe? How about installing a periscope system?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;France: Control your leaders!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="CLEAR: both; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; TEXT-ALIGN: center"&gt;&lt;a style="CLEAR: left; FLOAT: left; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 1em; MARGIN-RIGHT: 1em" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/SkAXX3S3JYI/AAAAAAAAFI8/0WyMJBnhK18/s1600-h/daring+lemon.gif" imageanchor="1"&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/SkAXX3S3JYI/AAAAAAAAFI8/0WyMJBnhK18/s320/daring+lemon.gif" border="0" tj="true" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15530751-6921239131765562387?l=lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/lemon-limemoon/~4/BOYhB1PWyRc" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com/feeds/6921239131765562387/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15530751&amp;postID=6921239131765562387&amp;isPopup=true" title="7 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15530751/posts/default/6921239131765562387?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15530751/posts/default/6921239131765562387?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/lemon-limemoon/~3/BOYhB1PWyRc/shut-up-sarkozywomen-are-stupid-and.html" title="Shut up Sarkozy.Women are Stupid and Inferior." /><author><name>Lemon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11656854855385193867</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="01441433587161382621" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/SkALvb9lVrI/AAAAAAAAFI0/Xe4uVTMoz0Q/s72-c/burqa+madness.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">7</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com/2009/06/shut-up-sarkozywomen-are-stupid-and.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;DEEBQ388cCp7ImA9WxJWFUs.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15530751.post-7146846557247073391</id><published>2009-06-21T01:00:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2009-06-21T02:44:12.178-04:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-06-21T02:44:12.178-04:00</app:edited><title>Reality Shows Mirroring Real Life</title><content type="html">&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/Sj3QEudDBzI/AAAAAAAAFGk/BfOonRhRm-I/s1600-h/survivor-big.png"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349660711993935666" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 334px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 228px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/Sj3QEudDBzI/AAAAAAAAFGk/BfOonRhRm-I/s400/survivor-big.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reality shows remind me of giant sociological laboratories where people are treated like rats in mazes and bet on as to how they will react and what the outcome will be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The worse the contestant is willing to be or do the higher the rating of the show.&lt;br /&gt;Everyone has probably heard of the famous experiment where people were willing to electrocute strangers because they were given orders to do so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For no other reason than being given an order a majority of people were more than willing to hurt someone else. I guess as long as it wasn't hurting them, they had no qualms about harming someone else. The highest level of shock was perhaps lethal they were told. It didn't matter to most.&lt;br /&gt;But dysfunctional families even have their own reality programs on television.&lt;br /&gt;That speaks volumes about lack of human compassion and love.&lt;br /&gt;Reality shows encourage disrespect and hatred of one's neighbor .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;It's all about competition even though disguised as cooperation.&lt;br /&gt;One one such show "Survivor" they form alliances with one another not based on real friendship or cooperation but on the current need. The members of such alliances are all too willing to stab one another in the back when it comes their turn to make points.&lt;br /&gt;I find such programs disgusting and downright evil. They encourage all the worst impulses and character traits.&lt;br /&gt;I wouldn't ever want a child to see such programming. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Isn't it odd that a person is willing to be degraded for money?&lt;br /&gt;Worse, they are willing to degrade someone else for money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe you think I am overboard on this. But I see some broader implications from this. I see that these programs represent what people are inside and how the nations are going. It represents a narcissistic population that are willing to sell anyone out without reservation.&lt;br /&gt;I find that repulsive and scary but it's evident in the government today also.&lt;br /&gt;Some are willing to pal around with terrorists and thugs in order to do what they think they have to, or to make a buck &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Doesn't what happens in one area spill over into others?&lt;br /&gt;Does what we stand of in entertainment speak about our values? Does it effect values?&lt;br /&gt;Do these things desensitize people to bad behavior so that we begin to accept very lowered standards of right and wrong?&lt;br /&gt;I think that it does do these things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Television can mirror how things are going in a country. Hollywood has a lot of blame in this because they push things on the public.&lt;br /&gt;Clothes manufacturers also force iffy adult clothing for children and pre teens to make a buck.&lt;br /&gt;The advertizing makes these ugly used-clothing-store kinds of clothes appealing to kids.&lt;br /&gt;But the styles are trampy and ugly for the most part.&lt;br /&gt;It is their ideas foisted upon people and television programs help them push those styles.&lt;br /&gt;The Disney channel has far too many kids in way too sophisticated makeup and clothing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hollywood needs to be sent to it's room with no supper!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e80/lemonannie/emo8244.gif"&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15530751-7146846557247073391?l=lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/lemon-limemoon/~4/Am1Yjg-ITpY" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com/feeds/7146846557247073391/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15530751&amp;postID=7146846557247073391&amp;isPopup=true" title="7 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15530751/posts/default/7146846557247073391?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15530751/posts/default/7146846557247073391?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/lemon-limemoon/~3/Am1Yjg-ITpY/reality-shows-mirroring-real-life.html" title="Reality Shows Mirroring Real Life" /><author><name>Lemon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11656854855385193867</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="01441433587161382621" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/Sj3QEudDBzI/AAAAAAAAFGk/BfOonRhRm-I/s72-c/survivor-big.png" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">7</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com/2009/06/reality-shows-mirroring-real-life.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;CkcDQHg7fip7ImA9WxJWE0o.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15530751.post-535928662389259904</id><published>2009-06-18T19:11:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2009-06-18T20:07:51.606-04:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-06-18T20:07:51.606-04:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Israel" /><title>Israel is the Light In the Dark</title><content type="html">&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/SjrHZTNR98I/AAAAAAAAFFk/05bQf8o7Meo/s1600-h/lightindark.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348806744922519490" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 291px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 254px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/SjrHZTNR98I/AAAAAAAAFFk/05bQf8o7Meo/s400/lightindark.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Why does the "peace process" fail in the middle east? It is because there is only one side that wants peace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tanakh (bible) says this:&lt;strong&gt; &lt;span style="color:#d5a6bd;"&gt;"Will two walk together, except they have agreed?"...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Amos &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Among the nations of the world Israeli &lt;em&gt;should&lt;/em&gt; have a reputation , if the world would just stop and think about it with an open, honest and clear mind... Israel is one of only a few nations that have &lt;strong&gt;never&lt;/strong&gt; attacked anyone just to take or harm. Israel has only ever gone to war to protect itself from the attacks of others .&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Binyamin Netanyahu said this during his speech at Bar-Ilan University:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Those who think that the continued enmity toward Israel is a product of our&lt;br /&gt;presence in Judea, Samaria and Gaza, is confusing cause and consequence. The&lt;br /&gt;attacks against us began in the 1920s, escalated into a comprehensive attack in&lt;br /&gt;1948 with the declaration of Israel’s independence, continued with the fedayeen&lt;br /&gt;attacks in the 1950s, and climaxed in 1967, on the eve of the Six Day War, in an&lt;br /&gt;attempt to tighten a noose around the neck of the State of Israel. All this&lt;br /&gt;occurred during the 50 years before a single Israeli soldier ever set foot in&lt;br /&gt;Judea and Samaria..&lt;/blockquote&gt;Yes, how true. From the first day that Jews returned to Israel in any significant way the populations around them have lusted for their blood , for their death,but not for the land itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Even long before 1948 Jews were wantonly attacked by Arabs just because they were Jewish. There was no other reason. Jews were not settling, there was no Israeli army, no Israeli nation...and yet Arabs attacked them constantly and murdered so many.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In WWII Arabs cooperated with Hitler to wipe out Jews in Europe and anywhere else they could find them. It had nothing to do with land in the middle east. It had to do with hate even then, just as today. No land involved at all. Nothing to give away or chip into pieces for "peace" at any cost.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The mixed people of the middle east bred from arab tribes, Canaanites, Babylonian implants to the lands, remnants of all the idolatrous nations of the past have always been mired in their hatred for both Israel and it's G-d. The bible is full of it and complete with condemnations of these nations for their evil.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tehillim tells us to "seek peace, pursue it!" and so Israel has done for many years. Even carving up their nation to try to do it. Land needed for her very life!! But for the sake of peace she was ready to give up almost anything!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Gaza proved to decent people that Arabs do not want peace with Jews. It did not prove it to people whose hearts are identified with evil. It took me a long time to learn that people who identify with terror and hate are themselves the same kinds of people who, given a chance, would do as much murder and mayhem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Condoleeza Rice for all her high sounding words declared that she identified with the terrorist camp in Gaza that calls itself a "nation" . In doing so she showed her real heart, her real people. Jimmy Carter has done the same as has Barry Soetoro -Obama , so many more,the list could go on and on. Certainly we must add the &lt;em&gt;state-run media&lt;/em&gt; of the United States to the list. (for yes, it is now for all intents and purposes a state run news system of sycophants and lackeys who prop up the administration any way they can)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Like gravitates to like", "birds of a feather flock together" are just two cliches that really are true. And again, "Can two walk together if they are not in agreement?" &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The answer of course is, no they cannot.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Kayin(Cain) found it absolutely impossible to walk with his brother Hevel (Abel) that he murdered him. Evil cannot abide good. Light cannot live with darkness. Think of it... how Kayin must have seethed beneath the surface with hatred for his brother. It itched and boiled inside him leaving him no way to find peace. Only the destruction of his brother would suffice. His manic hatred had to be bubbling over. Day and night his mind worked on how much he hated his brother. It kept him from sleeping, it cut into his day. No words were bad enough, strong enough, hurtful enough to stop his brother from entering in and convicting him of his own shortcomings and sin. Rather than change himself he would do away with the comparison.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;That is what the righteous do. They convict the evil of sin by their very presence in the world. The darkness dies when the light shines and it does not go without a fight. It clings perniciously to life trying to envelope the light at all costs. If you take a walk in the depths of a forest with a strong canopy of limbs you will notice that your flashlight (torch) will barely penetrate the darkness.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;It happened to me once. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I had gone on a camping trip deep in the woods around Round Valley Reservoir in north western New Jersey. Others of the family went by boat across the lake with the supplies. I came with a small child and a dog through the woods, there not being enough room in the boat. It was late in the day and having a child and animal with me slowed down progress and night fell.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;It fell hard!!! It was the blackest black I have ever seen. The canopy of the forest allowed no light to penetrate . It was so dark the dog was shaking... the child was so frightened he could make no sound, just cling to me as we walked.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;My strong flashlight made no real difference. The dark was just too powerful and too dense. It shone brightly only on one object, a white sign reading : "Beware of Copperheads".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Oh, great. We walked for well over an hour not able to see trail markings or camp site signs at all. After reaching what I felt was the proper area I began to call out to the others and after some time found the tents all set up and a fire going nicely.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I will never forget that darkness and how utterly profound it was. So dark that even the brave Scottish terrior dog was frightened.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I saw how the dark tried to overpower the light that we had with us. It would almost swallow it up as the beam reached out forward to light the way. It provided only enough light to see a few feet in any direction and the discrepancy of the light vs the dark in the near distance was hard on the eye and confusing.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Only by keeping our eyes on the lighted path were we able to make our way.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Israel is a light in the middle of a dense, dark , evil forest where the light is hated because it points out the evil by comparison. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Evil hides in the dark places. The light exposes the evil and so it cannot be tolerated. When the light comes evil must either flee or change .&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;It isn't land that is a problem in the middle east. It is that the dark that hides evil within it that can't abide the life giving power of the light. It is compelled by its seething hatred to try to devour light at all costs so that its evil will not be highlighted by the light for all to see.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;It is a life and death struggle between good and evil, light and dark.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15530751-535928662389259904?l=lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/lemon-limemoon/~4/3_s-_TgYY0A" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com/feeds/535928662389259904/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15530751&amp;postID=535928662389259904&amp;isPopup=true" title="3 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15530751/posts/default/535928662389259904?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15530751/posts/default/535928662389259904?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/lemon-limemoon/~3/3_s-_TgYY0A/israel-is-light-amidst-dark.html" title="Israel is the Light In the Dark" /><author><name>Lemon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11656854855385193867</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="01441433587161382621" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/SjrHZTNR98I/AAAAAAAAFFk/05bQf8o7Meo/s72-c/lightindark.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">3</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com/2009/06/israel-is-light-amidst-dark.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;CUcNQHc-cCp7ImA9WxJWEkQ.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15530751.post-3423850221615849167</id><published>2009-06-17T22:39:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2009-06-17T22:44:51.958-04:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-06-17T22:44:51.958-04:00</app:edited><title>America  in a Stupor?</title><content type="html">&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(180, 167, 214);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border: medium none ;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="border: medium none ; clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/SjmfTio3P6I/AAAAAAAAFFc/IXvD7l_FBuQ/s1600-h/Sheep.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/SjmfTio3P6I/AAAAAAAAFFc/IXvD7l_FBuQ/s320/Sheep.jpg" tj="true" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The headline reads: &lt;span style="background-color: rgb(217, 234, 211);"&gt;Tom Brokaw, who interviewed President Obama for NBC NEWS on June 5 is... appointed to President's Commission on White House Fellowships&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(217, 234, 211);"&gt;...&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt; and this one:  &lt;span style="background-color: rgb(208, 224, 227);"&gt;UPDATE: ABC REFUSES OPPOSITION ADS DURING WHITE HOUSE SPECIAL...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border: medium none ;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Yet another in a long line of paybacks for favors done during the election of Barry Soetoro. The egregiousness of this is lost on most people. In my lifetime I have never seen so many millions of people asleep at the wheel mentally. I can't recall any other time in my life time that people seemed so Zombified and stupefied over one man and his gang.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border: medium none ;"&gt;But it is very evident that people have lost all perspective on what is going on now. There is a small call to see the presidents birth certificate and other credentials. When it takes up to 10 forms of legitimate proof to get a driver's license, it seems outrageous that a man without proof of citizenship or education can even run for the presidency let alone win it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border: medium none ;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But no one really cares. People are more than willing to allow this and to allow a person who out and out refuses to show his birth certificate or any other proofs to have a ruling position in the nation. If you think this over the implications are frightening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border: medium none ;"&gt;Only a few are speaking out on the cronyism and the patronage, the paybacks and the special perks to those who put him in office. It is wrong but not many seem to even care. That unions are being catered to over business is not of concern to anyone either.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;That the news outlets are now government shills and mouthpieces seems not to bother many.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border: medium none ;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;What has happened to people?  Where are their morals and values that none of this is important to them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The facts themselves should be shaking people up and there should be outcries from millions and millions about the abuse of government that is going on and getting worse and worse since January.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border: medium none ;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People are for the most part silent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it a reflection on the people. Does it mean they don't mind if things are shady and wrong?  Where was the outcry at Black Panthers thuggishly preventing people from voting? Obama sanctioned them to do that. Did most care?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border: medium none ;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I believe this administration is destroying the country. Not one of  his policies is working, has worked, nor will work. He is creating a crisis a day then using it to step in a own the country himself like a dictator. He is out and out lying in his speeches and press conferences about socialism and socialized medicine. No one much cares.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border: medium none ;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ho hum attitude is loud across the land. Headlines like this seem to go over people's heads:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border: medium none ;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: rgb(180, 167, 214);"&gt;Senate health overhaul costs top $1.6 Trillion...  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Who will pay for this kiddies? You will. Your taxes will go through the roof. Other headlines speak of a possible rise to 10% unemployment even though the Dept of Labor says its at 16% already! Another lie.  Robust Growth , says another, will prevent tax increases, this is said even as they plan high increases in even health insurance that they will tax etc. There can be no robust growth when you don't cut taxes on employers so they can hire or when you shove trillions down the hole for such trash as new playgrounds etc.  And these lies come hard on the heels of economists warning of double digit inflation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you didnt live through the Jimmy Carter years you are in for a ghastly surprise. Things stunk then.  He was until now, the worst president we ever had. Inflation was in the double digits. Ground chuck meat rose in one month from 25cents a pound to 99cents a pound and never came back down from there...just kept going. Gas stations were closed weekends and holidays and the lines stretched for blocks to get a gallon of gas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jimmy had one thing over Barry Soetoro though, at least Jimmy was decent enough to put on a sweater and really lower White House temps unlike snotty Barry who raised them to 80 degrees to keep his wimpy behind warm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="border: medium none ;"&gt;Stories from Australia and Canada on health care  are legendary. People being "approved" for cancer care then waiting til its nearly or much too late for treatment to do any good.

No that's because America under his sway, needs too much Viagra to have "relations" with anyone anymore. It is no surprise that every other commercial on radio today is for such 'drugs'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/Sjf-mC0SXXI/AAAAAAAAFFM/xSuJZ2Zgkdo/s1600-h/A+Dandy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/Sjf-mC0SXXI/AAAAAAAAFFM/xSuJZ2Zgkdo/s320/A+Dandy.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This wimpoid has no problem stepping on Jews in Israel for his own purposes.He has no trouble giving away land to terror camps posing as nations. He has no problem dismantling a sovereign nation like Israel to give huge chunks away to his own people the Mohammedans.  He cannot bring himself to say anything manly about the garbage going on in Iran because he backs Ahmadinejad who is a man after Obama's own heart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many will remember the Hungarian uprising against the vile Russian invaders. As People stood against tanks alone and the world  doing absolutely nothing to help them at all. Tienanmen Square where Chinese thugs crushed human beings to bloody hamburger under tank treads  is another example of nothing being done at all. It is another result of the limp wristed prancing around that our leaders do today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here we see that repeated,  but in spades, as the wimp in chief who invades the White House spews mush from his mouth rather than manly words.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Democrat party is incapable of manly behavior. They are totally impotent and incapable of much of anything but bowing and scraping and being door mats for the very worst abusers. &lt;br /&gt;They have made America an abused woman in the eyes of the world. A woman who limply stands by out of fear while her lord and master beats her into even deeper submission.&lt;br /&gt;His hatred for Jews, for Israel is great enough, however to disparage and destroy Israel&lt;br /&gt;Don't be surprised here. Most Nazis were cross dressers and effeminate men. Goering wore women's clothing all the time. Hitler was anything but a man and most of his men were impotent boobs without any manly qualities at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Obama lies under Ahmedinejad he sells out the United States and Israel. Underneath is the submissive role Barry. Do you not know that? Now the sole of the shoe becomes even more meaningful as Barry Soetoro bends his submissive neck to the sole of the Iranian and the North Korean foot. If war comes, it will be Barry who brought it to you compliments of his weak bowing knees.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Listen as this impotent leader talks about Iranian sovereignty. Hear his weakwilled voice as he speaks about a dictatorial regime allowing free elections. The delusion, the cover ups are outrageous.  He mumbles and mushes words   like oatmeal oozing out of both sides of the mouth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr Messiah will create all the problems he will then limply try to solve. He is the reason North Korea is acting out. He is the reason Iran is out of control. Barry Soetoro Hussein Obama is the problem. Or it it really Barry Marshall? We just don't know, do we?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Whatever it is, it's all outrageous.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15530751-7013579359528919267?l=lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/lemon-limemoon/~4/t1YvTgXIwI4" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com/feeds/7013579359528919267/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15530751&amp;postID=7013579359528919267&amp;isPopup=true" title="4 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15530751/posts/default/7013579359528919267?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15530751/posts/default/7013579359528919267?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/lemon-limemoon/~3/t1YvTgXIwI4/obama-cant-meddle-he-is-impotent.html" title="Obama Can't Meddle ...He is Impotent." /><author><name>Lemon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11656854855385193867</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="01441433587161382621" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/Sjf-mC0SXXI/AAAAAAAAFFM/xSuJZ2Zgkdo/s72-c/A+Dandy.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">4</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com/2009/06/obama-cant-meddle-he-is-impotent.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;CUQGQHo7eip7ImA9WxJWEUU.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15530751.post-6466241456730059748</id><published>2009-06-16T14:56:00.009-04:00</published><updated>2009-06-16T16:15:21.402-04:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-06-16T16:15:21.402-04:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Death of Freedom in the USA" /><title>Obama Owns the Air Waves</title><content type="html">&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/Sjfq-7o18sI/AAAAAAAAFE0/opu3cyre2ZA/s1600-h/HLINE.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"&gt;&lt;img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5348001449407541954" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/Sjfq-7o18sI/AAAAAAAAFE0/opu3cyre2ZA/s400/HLINE.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; height: 190px; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; width: 488px;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
ABC is nothing more than the sycophantic government mouth piece anyway. They long ago lost their impartial view of things. They are socialistic democrats without any doubt at all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are losing our freedom. The death of analog television has put the government in charge of the air waves and your ability to get information without government censure and propaganda is dying.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From now on you will only hear what they want you to hear.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When I was in the fifth grade I remember my teacher telling us how the Soviet Union always lied to it's people. I recall so clearly what I was thinking at the time. "So, how do I know you aren't lying to us?" I put up my hand and asked the teacher just that. "How do I know you are telling me the truth?" Needless to say the teacher didn't like that very much. But it was a valid question.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It's more valid than ever today when the news and the government tell you what they want you to hear.  Even Bill Clinton backs up   official lies with a cry of "How dare you!"&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It has come now to the point that if the government says it, I believe the exact opposite in every situation. Since 2001 they have lied about &lt;span style="background-color: #ea9999;"&gt;EVERYTHING.  &lt;/span&gt;It has gone so far downhill that now they come right out and take control of the news in plain sight and not many find a problem with it because they are so completely brainwashed.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15530751-6466241456730059748?l=lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/lemon-limemoon/~4/a5ioqZzc89s" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com/feeds/6466241456730059748/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15530751&amp;postID=6466241456730059748&amp;isPopup=true" title="4 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15530751/posts/default/6466241456730059748?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15530751/posts/default/6466241456730059748?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/lemon-limemoon/~3/a5ioqZzc89s/obama-owns-air-waves.html" title="Obama Owns the Air Waves" /><author><name>Lemon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11656854855385193867</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="01441433587161382621" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/Sjfq-7o18sI/AAAAAAAAFE0/opu3cyre2ZA/s72-c/HLINE.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">4</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com/2009/06/obama-owns-air-waves.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;DEcASHY6fyp7ImA9WxJWEEQ.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15530751.post-6571801979283166380</id><published>2009-06-15T14:56:00.011-04:00</published><updated>2009-06-15T16:00:49.817-04:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2009-06-15T16:00:49.817-04:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="your Government at work" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="FOLLOW THE MONEY" /><title>'Bermuda, it don't GITMO better than this'</title><content type="html">&lt;center&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#3333FF;"&gt;&lt;b&gt; Monday's Second Post&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/Sjaf84fr2XI/AAAAAAAAFEk/v-BE-uCeDkM/s1600-h/Ber.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/Sjaf84fr2XI/AAAAAAAAFEk/v-BE-uCeDkM/s400/Ber.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347637475855292786" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/SjaeUjHS1MI/AAAAAAAAFEM/-TaOdBIsZIU/s1600-h/Pink+Sand+Bermuda.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/SjaeUjHS1MI/AAAAAAAAFEM/-TaOdBIsZIU/s400/Pink+Sand+Bermuda.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347635683409450178" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Bermuda is lovely with its clear turquoise waters and pink sand beaches. The people are wonderful and so very friendly. The atmosphere is proper British and the laws keep the island clean and neat.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, the United States and Premier Ewart Brown   have decided to ruin that by releasing hard core terrorists into Bermuda and reward them for a life of crime.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is the Obama way of dealing with thugs and criminals.&lt;br /&gt;Like tends to gravitate to like and Obama gravitates to shady people. He identifies with the nastier side of life and its denizens. He rewards the bad and takes from the good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why in the world would Bermudian Premier Ewart Brown agree to this? The only answer is that Obama has something to hold over their heads. Was Premier Brown forced to do this?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; A small nation that relies on tourism for much of it's income can't afford to be harboring criminals and terrorists. Image is everything.  Bermuda always went to great lengths to maintain a wonderful, clean image. Even the citizens are so nice toward tourists that it is legendary.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Bermudian government has been thrown into a call for a no-confidence vote  the Daily Mail says,  because Bermudians are angry that this was done to them. Britain is also enraged that Obama would so such a thing. This anger puts the lie to the Obama administration and the media statements that these Uighurs(wee-gers) are not dangerous men. It seems the rest of the world thinks that they are dangerous.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Demonstrations and protests are planned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1192872/Guantanamo-4-hit-shops-day-freedom.html"&gt;The Daily Mail&lt;/a&gt; has most of this information and more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bermuda is only a few hundred miles off the coast of the Carolinas.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/SjafEy6HslI/AAAAAAAAFEc/Tkl8cD5Ar2M/s1600-h/bermuda.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 190px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/SjafEy6HslI/AAAAAAAAFEc/Tkl8cD5Ar2M/s400/bermuda.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347636512282882642" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Beautiful Bermuda sunning herself under   bright Atlantic skies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It is very sad to see so much being tainted by the Obama administration.

Capital of the glorious revolutionary Cuba!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;See the great advantages of Marxism and socialism in all it's glory.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;These are the nations and men Obama glorifies and holds dear.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Spreading the wealth is not all marism wants. They wish to spread misery around too. Everyone should suffer and be in poverty....except the leaders of course. Leaders never have to suffer, or live in poverty or share their wealth . They get their health care from private American doctors and in the secret wings of delapidated  hospitals closed to the general population.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Cuz dey iz speshul.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So I guess Obama wants to spread the terrorism and danger to our "friends" too, by closing down Gitmo and sending it's outlaws around the world  as tokens of our esteem.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15530751-6571801979283166380?l=lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/lemon-limemoon/~4/21epZjEjMvw" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com/feeds/6571801979283166380/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15530751&amp;postID=6571801979283166380&amp;isPopup=true" title="8 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15530751/posts/default/6571801979283166380?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15530751/posts/default/6571801979283166380?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/lemon-limemoon/~3/21epZjEjMvw/bermuda-it-dont-gitmo-better-than-this.html" title="'Bermuda, it don't GITMO better than this'" /><author><name>Lemon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11656854855385193867</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty name="OpenSocialUserId" value="01441433587161382621" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zsCK0TdGnPA/Sjaf84fr2XI/AAAAAAAAFEk/v-BE-uCeDkM/s72-c/Ber.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">8</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://lemonlimemoon.blogspot.com/2009/06/bermuda-it-dont-gitmo-better-than-this.html</feedburner:origLink></entry></feed>
