Re: Wringing-the-Neck of Empty Ritual.

Dear Folks: Two years ago I saw the "fix" the USA would be in with
Barack Obama… President. By CONSTITUTIONAL standards, that Manchurian
Candidate has never been President, because Felons (or those guilty of
high crimes and misdemeanors) are prohibited from holding office. To
get elected, Obama promised $100.00 'energy cost' checks to the
voters. That constituted a mass CRIMINAL buying-of-votes—a clear
disqualification to hold office. Our corrupt Chief Justice, John G.
Roberts, Jr., was quite alright with swearing-in a man to be President
without taking into account that Obama had said on numbers of
occasions that …"The Constitution erred by stating limits to
government rather than stating the powers of government to make…
redistributive changes (socialism)." Since socialism is the anti-
thesis of a Representative Republic—as in our free enterprise nation—
Obama was disqualified to be President. But Roberts was all smiles as
he acquiesced to the notion of changing the USA into a socialist
nation. NOTE: Changing our TYPE of government isn't something
Congress can vote on. It requires a revamping of the Constitution,
tantamount to forming a new nation, completely unlike what the
founding fathers had envisioned.

As the 2008 Democratic Party Convention date drew closer, people like
Tom Daschle, Bill Richardson, Colin Powel, and Jimmy Crater made their
"pivotal" late endorsements. Oprah Winfrey, Barbara Walters, Larry
King, and dozens of celebrities did the same thing, to use their
'media power' to slant our weak political processes. That has been…
"how things are done" for generations… Here is what my New
Constitution says:

"It shall be a felony for any government official or employee, or any
celebrity or media idol—past or present—to publicly endorse or
campaign on behalf of any candidate for public office or job.
Exhibiting ideological bias in a job terminates the employment.
Candidates for public office shall be disqualified for soliciting new
voter registrants; and no campaign shall aid or organize the
transportation of voters to the polls."

Bill Richardson, Hillary Clinton (and husband Bill Clinton) were
clearly taken aback when Obama selected Joe Biden to be Vice
President. Both Hillary and Bill Clinton made shifts to the Obama
side at the convention, when what they should have done was to point
out that Obama isn't even an American! The force of DEMOCRACY was on
Hillary's side, but she chose not to use it. Why? Because she
expected Obama would choose her to be Vice President. Obama had
visited with the Clintons in her NYC senate offices. Deals were made
to be sure Hillary would not insist that her supporters NOT vote for
Obama under any circumstances.

Bill Richardson was considered to be on Obama's "short list" for Vice
President. His smiles disappeared after the convention when talking
about the Democratic Party Ticket: Obama and Biden. Note: Soliciting
glowing endorsements with promises of government jobs, is something
Obama did at every turn, and that is CRIMINAL bribery! Of course, one
cannot expect the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court to care about
bribery, because most of that court's decisions… are determined by the
BRIBE they each accepted from the President who nominated them, to
NEVER vote counter to the God-damned ideology of that President.
Every member of the US Supreme Court is guilty of accepting their JOB
in exchange for voting along party lines!! Here is what my New
Constitution says:

"Article III:

Section 1: The lesser Judicial Branch consists of a Supreme Court and
such inferior courts as the House establishes. Its major duty is to
interpret laws. It has no power to command enforcement of any of its
rulings unless so mandated in prior, formally stipulated and apt
laws. Judges and justices are technicians of the law and of this New
Constitution. They shall perform their duties as individuals, never
as part of any perceived culture of the lesser Judicial Branch, nor
from any consultation whatsoever with past or present members of
such. Additionally, they shall not have held state or federal
executive or legislative office. The President shall nominate new
justices who are between the ages of 50 and 60 years old, and may on
good behavior, serve a single term of up to 10 years. The President,
or his agents, shall not work to win the confirmation of any
nominee. Judges and justices shall be selected for their intellect,
high moral character, compassion, knowledge of the law, likable
nature, and for their proficiency and expediency in office. Such
shall not be aloft nor considered infallible in all their judgments,
yet shall be respected if they right injustices quickly. They shall
make decisions based on apt laws and this New Constitution—never on
their personal ideologies. Every two years an unbiased review panel
shall apprise the Citizens of the job performance grade, as herein, of
seated judges and justices. With the assent of 60% of the voters
nationwide, the latter can be unseated. Judges and justices aren't
royalty, nor do they have an implied moral judgment inherently
superior to public macro-consensus. They shall not be chambered
lavishly, sit in throne-like chairs, wear robes on the job, nor dress
in a style that differentiates them from the People. They shall not
socialize with, nor privately be in conference with, members of the
Executive or Legislative branches of government; nor shall they attend
State of the Union Addresses or similar events. The Public shall not
stand for entering or exiting judges or justices who shall be
addressed only as: judge or justice. Judges and justices not
respecting such provisions, or who exhibit excessive arrogance or
pomposity on the job shall be removed. Sessions of all trials shall
begin with the judge(s) or justice(s) saying: "The justice system is
on trial." All assent five-to-four Supreme Court decisions are for
one year only, or shall be invalid; and the same nine justices shall
not—on their own—reconsider such issue. Courtrooms shall be devoid of
gavels, seals, flags and oppressive art, and no design feature nor
process shall imply that judges or justices represent government or
respond patly or collectively. It is TREASON for a judge or justice
to rule with disfavor on the supremacy of a fair democracy."

CLINTON GETS UPSTAGED BY REMARKS OF ONE OF HER DELEGATES.

Last night, I was watching CNN's coverage of the Democratic
Convention. The expected highlight, Tuesday, was the long anticipated
speech of a "defeated" Hillary Clinton. If you will recall… following
the botched-up primaries, Clinton—for whatever reason—put aside her
year long differences with Obama and endorsed him. She seemed to be
doing so because she thinks that the "party's goals" are more
important than her goals had been. Her most eloquent speech, last
night, was better delivered than most speeches which I can remember—
not just her speeches, anyone's. Mainly, that's because such seemed
to be coming from "some part" of her curious heart. Her husband and
daughter, watching in the audience, looked to be as touched as I was.
And most who listened, including the commentators, were, too.

Of all those who were shown on camera during the speech, Michelle
Obama had the most poker face. She had probably heard, as had those
following "the news", what the outline of the Clinton's speech likely
included. From the Obamas' and the Democrat's positions, those
18,000,000 voters AGAINST Barack Obama, who were FOR Hillary Clinton
must somehow be delivered to Barack on a silver platter, or he won't
be elected President.

The interesting lead-in Speech by the former Governor of Virginia
showed more of Ted Kennedy's hopes and dreams. Still, there's a huge
piece of the "suitable to be President" pie that must be found.
Michelle Obama knows that her husband falls short of Clinton as a
speaker. And though Michelle is an attorney, her own speech Monday
night didn't approach the power of Clinton's, either. Somehow, the
oft-repeated fact that the Obamas came from "poor backgrounds" just
isn't cutting-it as the link that Barack Obama needs to "connect" with
the rural blue collar voters. It's difficult to connect with those
whom Obama so offended with his "guns and religion" remarks during the
primaries.

I recorded Clinton's speech, but turned off the VCR soon afterward. I
continued to listen to the post speech comments, and I looked at the
teary eyes—mostly of the women who had listened from the audience.
CNN was given word that there was a Black lady delegate, in the
audience, who should be interviewed about Clinton's speech. Suzanne
Malveaux asked that lady—who looked to be in her forties—what she
thought about it. While Suzanne held the microphone, the shy but
clearly articulate lady began to show more HEART and more SOUL than
had Clinton, herself, in the speech!

The lady was wearing a white tee shirt with big printed letters. I
was so affected by the lady's deep emotions that I could only
concentrate on her face. Though on camera, she didn't look at it.
She just kept turning her eyes toward the left as if torn to say what
is really in her heart. But say it she did!

That Black Lady is one of the delegates for Hillary. She was asked
who she will vote for in November. "Not McCain…" Then, she
summarized the long road that Blacks have had to travel just to get to
vote in this country. Yet, her tone seemed to imply that it isn't
likely that she will be voting for Obama. At one point she said: "…
two more days", as if she would be giving Barack Obama two more days
to convince her. But she almost bit her lip at the prospect. Then,
she said, "…this year, my relatives will have to call me to go vote.
In past years I've called them to go vote."

No words of mine can summarize the POWER of the genuine emotions which
that fine lady was expressing! Almost in awe, she kept mentioning how
"presidential" Hillary Clinton was as she spoke. Relatively speaking,
that meant the lady believes in her heart that Hillary Clinton is more
presidential than Barack Obama. She concluded her tearful, choking
words by saying , "… resume; his resume. No Harvard graduate, right
out of school, gets hired to be the CEO of a major corporation…" At
that Suzanne thanked the wonderful Black lady. Anderson Cooper was so
moved by what he heard, that he suggested that the same lady be
interviewed after Barack makes his acceptance speech, Thursday night,
to see if such speech changes the lady's mind.

One sign of just how much trouble Obama's campaign is in, is the fact
that the millions in the likely TV viewing audience won't satisfy
Obama's ego, and his desire to bask in the limelight. That's the
reason he has chosen to deliver his speech before a packed-in, or
trucked-in, 80,000 person audience in the new Denver football
stadium. When Obama campaigned… in Germany, people went "Wow!" that
20,000 showed up to listen. Having a large crowd confirms the
speaker, does it not? Probably not as much as Obama is needing to
have his Manchurian candidacy be confirmed. Try as he will, Obama
could never speak with the genuine passion of Hillary Clinton. As he
reads from the teleprompter, his face will be the same dead-pan
expression of latent anger with which he has delivered every other
speech he has ever made in his life. So, his speech will fall short
of that of Hillary Clinton.

About 10% of Blacks are true, color-blind, members of the human race
and independent thinkers. Those don't need to have a figurehead Black
like Obama be elected President to feel confirmed. They are perfectly
well confirmed just by doing what they think is right—even if that
goes against what most of their race are doing. Charles Barkley, the
basketball great, was interviewed at the convention last night.
Because of the poverty issues among Blacks that need to be addressed,
Barkley is considering running for Governor of Alabama. But he says
he'll probably do so as an independent, because… "the Democrats and
Republicans are too corrupt."

Folks, Charles Barkley knows exactly what I have been telling you for
many months: Moving away from the two major parties is our only hope!
As long as "the game" is party-against-party, there will always be 50%
losers. Supporters of Obama should realize the peril that the USA
will be in if we elect a "Harvard graduate just out of school to be
the CEO" of America!

The best course for all thinking Americans is to eschew both major
parties and to vote—with a clear conscious—for the LIBERTARIAN
candidates! It's been said that "Imitation is the highest form of
flattery." Last night, Obama and the Democrats copied my slogan
below… But I was the FIRST to say:

Be it known: "A New Constitution is the only 'change' that we need!"
Pass it on!

Fwd: Israel vs Arab Lands



---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: churi1


In 1935 the Peel Commission, investigating riots that were to plague the region between the years 1936-39 were calling for an end to the Mandate, and to partition the land into an Arab and a Jewish state. While the Jews had accepted this partition, the Arabs rejected it, refusing to accept it as a solution. The plan was later abandoned and Auni Bey Abdul-Hadi told the commission "There is no such country as 'Palestine'; 'Palestine' is a term the Zionists invented! Palestine is alien to us".


"The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct 'Palestinian people' to oppose Zionism.

"For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa. While as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan." (PLO executive committee member Zahir Muhsein, March 31, 1977, interview with the Dutch newspaper Trouw.)

 In 1947 the United Nations voted 33 to 13 (10 absentees) passing Resolution 181 proposing a Jewish and an Arab State.  This was accepted with jubilance by the then Jewish Population of Palestine. The Arabs refused. The delegates from the six Arab nations stormed out of the session, threatening not only war, but the annihilation of the Jewish state.  They vowed to resist the partition, demanding the entire country for themselves.  Haj Amin Al Husseini – Mufti of Jerusalem said "I declare a holy war; my Moslem brothers, murder them all."

 In 1948 , the 14th of May (5th day of Iyar, 5708) the State of Israel was finally born and President, Harry S. Truman signed the following memo; "This government has been informed that a Jewish State has been proclaimed in Palestine and recognition has been requested by the provisional Government thereof. The United States recognizes the provisional Government as the de facto authority of     the new State of Israel." The fledgling state was attacked by its Arab neighbours' within hours of its independence, and Azzam Pasha, Secretary General of the League said: "This will be a war of extermination and a momentous massacre which will be spoken of like the Mongolian massacres and the Crusades"

In 1967 Israel was again fighting for its survival.

On May 15th Egypt moved troops into the Sinai and by May 25th urged by Egypt, the armies of Syria, Jordan, Iraq and Saudi Arabia moved their troops to Israel's borders.  Nasser didn't mince his words when he said "Our basic goal is the destruction of Israel". Far from being destroyed Israel emerged victorious capturing the Sinai, Gaza, The West Bank, parts of the Golan Heights and Jerusalem. Israel offered to negotiate the return of the occupied territory.  The Arab conference summit held in Khartoum in September of that year issued the following statement:  "No Recognition of Israel, No Peace with Israel, No Negotiations with Israel."

 

In 1976 Jimmy Carter won 19 out of 31 primaries, defeating Gerald Ford to become The United States 33rd President. In 1979 he would preside over the Egypt-Israel Peace accord which was signed at Camp David. Part of the negotiations involved the Palestinians and the future of the West Bank and Gaza." A five-year period of "transitional autonomy" was proposed. The Palestinians were offered this autonomy by Israel in exchange for peace. This would have eventually led to full statehood.  The Palestinians were not willing to recognize Israel and Yasser Arafat said "Let them sign what they like. False peace will not last."

 The 1993 Oslo accords, Camp David under Clinton in 2000, Ehud Barak's magnanimous offer in 2001, in which he offered 95% of the so-called West Bank and Gaza to the arabs -- All these negotiations had one purpose; to give the Palestinians a state.  And guess what happened?  Yep, they refused.

Jordan is a very small nation that historically has no ties with the Palestinians.  The nation of Jordan has not, insofar as I am aware, ever offered to share their land with the Palestinians, either by assimilation or by any other means.  Palestinians, as the name indicates, are indigenous to Palestine;  they possess their own State, and they insist upon the right to self-determination, and this is a basic human right.  They have no desire to assimilate with the Jordanians and offer allegiance to its king.  Palestine is a sovereign nation and recognised as such under International Law.

Short History of the Tea Parties

A Short History of the Tea Parties

Yesterday's D.C. meeting was spurred by a foreign lawmaker who wanted to get a sense of how the Tea Parties came about (with, I suspect, an interest in facilitating a similar movement in his home country). What follows is the gist of what I told him, from an unfinished article idea:
The modern incarnation of the Tea Parties is a spectacularly sober movement, inspired by animating spirits that seemed dormant for the better part of a generation.
For decades, conservatives watched large rallies in Washington for gay rights, opposition to Middle Eastern wars, the Million Man March, gun control, and dozens of other trendy lefty causes, and consoled themselves with the idea that the grassroots of the Right just weren't the kind of folks who attended big rallies. (Pro-lifers, with their annual March for Life held in bitter January weather, made a striking exception.) Unions often secure the day off for their members; college students and professors find it all too easy to skip or cancel class. If you didn't see the demographics that make up the GOP base -- small businessmen, parents, members of the military -- marching and waving signs, it's because they were too busy working for a living.
The libertarian magazine Reason has noted that Americans who subscribe to a socially liberal, fiscally conservative philosophy are the ideological demographic most likely to own jacuzzis and hot tubs. Couple this with a preference for individualism over broad-based group action, and one can quickly understand why you don't often see giant libertarian rallies: They're mostly at home having fun in their hot tubs. In fact, it takes a dire threat to their liberties to get them out of their hot tubs.
Enter the Obama administration.
Like most successes, at least a thousand figures are claiming fatherhood of the Tea Party phenomenon, but certainly a key moment came Feb. 19, 2009, from an unlikely source: CNBC correspondent Rick Santelli, who launched into an off-the-cuff rant when asked to evaluate the initial moves from the Obama administration to deal with a housing market that had plummeted. "The government is promoting bad behavior!" Santelli shouted, accusing the administration of a plan that amounted to "subsidizing the losers' mortgages."
 "This is America!" Santelli shouted. "How many of you people want to pay for your neighbors' mortgage that has an extra bathroom and can't pay their bills? . . . President Obama, are you listening?"
He articulated the concern that drove welfare reform, the most significant policy achievement of Bill Clinton's presidency: Government was taking from the responsible in order to save the irresponsible from the consequences of their own bad decisions. Americans are a charitable people, but they quickly anger when they suspect they're being played for a sucker.
The first national "Tea Party" day, held April 16, 2009, ran into the usual trouble; if you're trying to rally big crowds of squeezed and harried taxpayers, it's probably a mistake to hold the rally the day that federal taxes are due. But a Tea Party skeptic, liberal blogger Nate Silver, went through accounts of crowds from Denver (5,000) to Bound Brook, New Jersey (20) and came up with a minimum number of estimated attendees nationwide: 111,899, a number he granted was "reasonably impressive."
Listen to a discussion of the debt and deficit at a Tea Party meeting, and you won't hear a lot of numbers; instead, it is articulated as a moral issue, and a national moral failure. The spending spree of TARP and the stimulus -- and a deficit exacerbated by plummeting tax revenues -- is spurring Americans to look at the debt as a great horror inflicted upon their children and grandchildren. Occasionally, you'll hear a bit of denunciation of the Chinese holding American debt, but by and large this is seen as an American failure to practice thrift, impulse control, and responsibility -- or more specifically, American lawmakers' failure to do so.
It's fairly standard for a conservative lawmaker to encounter angry liberal crowds. But during the summer of 2009, as Congress took up a massive health-care bill after passing massive spending bills, Democrat lawmakers returned to their districts to find huge angry crowds turning out at their public meetings. Democrats had never seen anything like it: overflow crowds, angry chants, and in one case, a lawmaker hung in effigy. Inside-the-Beltway veterans like David Broder of the Washington Post predicted a backlash, but none arrived. Americans concluded if you want to enjoy the relatively pampered life of a congressman, you had better be ready to listen to a constituent tell you why you're doing such a lousy job. Democrats largely responded to the challenge by refusing to hold additional public meetings.
Coverage of the Tea Parties mostly focused on the inevitable odd character who dressed up in Revolutionary garb, or signs misspelled, or worse. Gather a large enough crowd, and some yahoo will express their opposition to the president in a distasteful or racist manner. Much more ubiquitous was the Gadsden flag, one of the first flags of the United States, which depicts a rattlesnake coiled and ready to strike with the legend "Don't Tread on Me."
While the Tea Parties were being mocked, dismissed, and demonized, the ill omens for Obama piled up to an almost comical level: Republicans won two big governor's races in 2009; Scott Brown, a Republican, won the Senate seat of the late Ted Kennedy; higher turnout in Republican primaries through 2010, for the first time in 80 years; the Gallup poll showing the largest enthusiasm gap between the parties they had ever recorded.
Their impact is decisive, but not overwhelming. Democrats hung on in a few key Senate and governor's races, and a few traditional Democratic strongholds resisted the Republican wave. But even President Obama called the results "a shellacking."
 "The impact of the Tea Party movement cannot be understated. The energy harnessed by the movement helped mobilize Americans to support Republican candidates, and more importantly go to the polls to vote against the higher-tax, big-government, anti-business Obama agenda," said a Washington Republican helping coordinate strategy for the lower house of Congress. "Their energy and support helped push the number of competitive races from the usual 30 or 40 to well past 100 and turned a wave election into a tsunami."
As Obama stumbles, liberals are beginning to realize that he is the last hope for their movement; they will not elect a more progressive, more popular, more charismatic president by a wider margin anytime soon, and they will never enjoy a more perfect political environment than they did in autumn 2008. By contrast, the Tea Parties are asymmetrical warfare applied to the political realm. Sarah Palin, Minnesota Rep. Michelle Bachmann, and Senators Marco Rubio of Florida and Rand Paul of Kentucky are all key figures in the Tea Party movement, but none are irreplaceable. Unlike most powerful organizations in Washington, there is no one main phone number for the Tea Parties, an incomprehensible development to many Washington reporters. There are quite a few groups claiming to speak for the Tea Party movement -- FreedomWorks, the Tea Party Patriots, the Tea Party Express -- but in the end they're simply event organizers rather than directors. The whole point of this movement is that these people hate being told what to do.
Unlike the usual angry crowds of striking workers in France or pensioners in Greece, the Tea Party is the strange phenomenon of citizens demanding government spend less instead of more. For all of our flaws, Americans are waking up to the hard fact that when their government spends, they end up paying every cent, sooner or later

Fwd: Must read: Obama's new message to Mubarak

Obama Says He Will Resend Message to Mubarak, This Time in All Caps

White House Mulls Change in Font

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) - Concerned that Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak did not receive his message to begin a peaceful transition to democratic reforms, President Barack Obama said today that he would resend the message "but this time in all caps."

Mr. Obama said that while he hoped sending a capitalized version of the message would be effective, "we have a variety of other options at our disposal, including resending it in bold."

In the days since it became clear that Mr. Mubarak did not receive the White House's initial message, Mr. Obama has been huddling with advisors to discuss a range of more drastic options, including changing the message's font altogether.

"We are fully prepared to go to a stronger font if that will help make our point to Mubarak," said one aide who spoke on condition of anonymity. "Right now every font is on the table except Comic Sans."

On the Republican side, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin said that she would refrain from commenting on the situation in Egypt until she learned how to pronounce "Mubarak."

Meanwhile, at the National Prayer Breakfast, Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-Ohio) led all Americans in praying that they never need healthcare.
