Anyway, Tony Blair has revealed that he’s been in contact with Obama for months now- “about the situation in the Middle East, where Mr Blair is an envoy for the “quartet” of the US, Russia, the EU and the UN.”

“He’s also someone who has a genuine vision of how America can play a healing role in the world and has also some real sensitivity to the fact that people want America to do that.”

Obama’s been talking about the Israel issue with Blair for months- and we have no idea what else he’s been doing we don’t know about. The Syria story may turn out to be false but the reason we could believe it is that a character like Malley is hardly an unusual choice for Obama. Let’s not forget his church published Hamas propaganda. Or his cosy dinner chats with the PLO’s Khalidi. The list could go on.

Leftists despise America and everything it stands (stood) for. You are quite naive to believe otherwise.

2. Democrats have been consistently in favor of going easy on terrorists.

3. Everybody agrees that al-Qaeda wants to nuke a US city.

4. The Democrats seized the guns of New Orleans residents, an action which made little sense from a domestic political perspective (since most of the people involved would just get guns again anyway after leaving the city), but which made perfect sense as a dry run for a much bigger gun grab.

Is this medication, by any chance, a good dose of heroin, to keep me from having enough brain power to put two and two together?

It’s pretty obvious that Obama, and the Democrats in general, would love nothing more than a major terrorist attack in America. This would allow them to declare martial law and seize all firearms in the nation. Remember how sad Clinton was when 9/11 didn’t happen on his watch?

It’s pretty obvious you need medication.

All it’ll do is piss Obama off.

Yeah, cuz we all know the world is really worried about that. /sarc

We need to agree between ourselves that we will not tolerate confiscation of firearms in this nation. Be certain that the “elite” “conservatives,” such as David Frum, David Brooks, Christopher Buckley, George Will, and Kathleen Parker, will support the post-attack gun grab, in their usual phony mournful “I really hate to see this but unfortunately it’s become necessary” style. We must ignore them and stand tall.

Seriously, you need to check your own scriptures. Don’t take comfort from simply the words from the text.

Ask Him. He’s still in book. His lines are always open. Comfort and strength in times of trial and worry are His specialties.

The real thing is there is a God. He has made promises. He has not broken any promises as yet, nor will He in the future.
I worry about what may be ahead too, but I also know that He is in control. Men make choices, but ultimately He calls the shots.

You need to reread the account of Elisha when he prayed for his servant’s eyes to be opened while the city was surrounded.

If this is New Testament, I haven’t even read it once.. I think this is great and all, but the amount of anti -semitism
in Europe hasn’t been this high since WW II. The response to all these outbreaks has been more appeasement…. I can not help but fear for my people… I had many family member perish in the camps… I have family in Israel…. I have small children and I do not want to see Hitler’s plans carried out …. sorry. I hope you are right… i hope your scripture gives you comfort and confidence. I wish it could give me more….

Hittites? Egypt? Babylonians? Romans? Even the Germans?

Fastest way to end a nation is to declare against Israel. God was not making a sound bite when He said those who curse her shall be cursed.

You need to reread the account of Elisha when he prayed for his servant’s eyes to be opened while the city was surrounded.

There are more with Israel than are rallied against her. If no man on earth stood for Israel’s stead, she would not be guarded less than she is now.

She alone has the promise of God’s protection. No other nation or people have that except Abraham’s children and descendants. The Holocaust took lives, but it did not wipe out the race or the promise.

Satan still wants to play that game, but God is the one who makes the rules and controls the game.

In no way does that diminish anyone’s plight… I know your frustration… I feel your pain.

Well, I certainly don’t presume to be a good analyst, or any analyst at all.

The Soros quote is interesting and reveals much about Soros. But I know nothing in Rahm Emanuel’s past that indicates he deserves the kind of personal pre-demonization evidenced here, especially regarding Israel. What I do know about him indicates the opposite so for now it’s only reasonable to assume he would not be the one leading a “sellout” of the Jewish people, if such a thing were to occur.

If new evidence points to the contrary I will revise my position.

Not to diminish the Israeli plight…

But a bunch of Catholics in my family voted for the biggest enemy of unborn human life ever to occupy the Oval Office. They didn’t listen to me, either. It’s frustrating. Hopefully we’ll be able to point it out to our family effectively when he does what we know he will do.

Actually, Israel is not doomed. It might look like it, but I would not bet against Israel.

Now, if Ezekiel or Daniel were talking about it being doom, I’d listen.

Otherwise, forget it. Smart money is on Israel and her God.

kybowexar on November 10, 2008 at 1:21 PM

Can I get an AMEN?

A tipster shot me a link to The Obama Report last night claiming that Obama advisor Robert Malley, unceremoniously thrown under the bus in May for his close ties to terrorist group Hamas, was back working for President-Elect Obama less……

TheBigOldDog on November 10, 2008 at 1:44 PM

Perfectly to the point. It is a fact that some Jews supported the rise of the Third Reich believing that all the blaming the Jews talk was just talk… they thought nothing bad would happen to them because they were Germans first. By the way, Israel is the mightiest tiny country, but they DO need the US and her support! Just look at a map of the middle east!!!!

Whatever. I heard it this morning from my own 88-year-old Jewish father. Some Jews can see what is going on here. Rahm was put there for window dressing. Israel is as good as gone already.

rockmom on November 10, 2008 at 1:41 PM

I wish more of the American Jewish community was like your Dad. Far too many of them backed Obama. Evidently, they still see the evangelicals that are part of the Republican base as the bigger threat…
