		<description><![CDATA[On the other hand, we have John McCain who says that he didn't love America until he was deprived of her company.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>I don&#8217;t know exactly what the Democrats <em>think</em> they are trying to do, but this quote underscores the vital difference between the true, conservative patriotism and the cynical, thin veneer of apparent patriotism liberals spread on like stage make-up anytime they speak in public.  </p>
<p>Michelle Obama&#8217;s criteria for &#8220;love&#8221; of America is nothing short of greed.  It is the kind of love a prostitute feels for her pimp when he buys her a mink coat after selling her body to strangers and taking all the money she earned.  In fact, Ms. Obama didn&#8217;t even use the word &#8220;love.&#8221; As I recall, she said that, until her husband became a viable candidate for the Democratic nomination for President, she had never really been &#8220;proud&#8221; of America.</p>
<p>So, in her own words, her patriotism is contingent upon the rewards she receives.</p>
<p>On the other hand, we have John McCain who says that he didn&#8217;t love America until he was deprived of her company.</p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/06/19/watch-mccain-didnt-love-a_n_108191.html">McCain: I &#8216;Didn&#8217;t Love America&#8217; Until Held Prisoner (VIDEO) -  Politics on  The Huffington Post</a></p>
<p> </p></blockquote>
<p>Wow!</p>
<p>The difference is like day and night.  For McCain to conjure up feelings of – in his own words – &#8220;love,&#8221; he only need remember an tragedy that he endured in another life-time and another world.  He could have been stuck in a job as a garbage man and he&#8217;d still have the same love for America, that he does now.  John McCain is not searching for accolades from the voters to validate his patriotism, he is just content that such a great country would consider him for <em>any</em> job.</p>
<p>He is even enough of a man to use the dreaded &#8220;L&#8221; word!</p>
<p>Maybe the real story here is just how radically far to the left one would have to be to compare John McCain&#8217;s statement to Michelle Obama&#8217;s.</p>
<p>It seems to me that any human being, with a heart, can understand how separation from our most beloved can amplify and punctuate our love in a way that a mink coat never will.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The truly sad part is how clear it is from the comments made by these liberal zombies that they don't even read the articles about which they comment.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>You know, I guess it&#8217;s no surprise that when a story like this gets traction at the social media sites the liberal comment inevitably devolve into a slew of anti-Bush tirades, but this is getting ridiculous.  In the comments for the digg submission of this:</p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://www.newsweek.com/id/141009">Senate Report&#8217;s New Findings on Pre-War Deception | Newsweek Voices - Terror Watch | Newsweek.com</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Newsweek article shows that the segment of the public represented by digg commenters is losing all credibility with more and more users creating multiple bot accounts to artificially raise or lower the popularity of articles submitted.</p>
<p>The truly sad part is how clear it is from the comments made by these liberal zombies that they don&#8217;t even read the articles about which they comment.  In this case the Newsweek article makes it quite clear that Bush was operating on the same intelligence as the rest of the world when the U.N. passed their resolutions for Saddam to allow unrestricted inspections and when the International Coalition forces were ordered to invade Iraq and secure Saddam&#8217;s WMD programs.  </p>
<p>In other words, Bush <strong>didn&#8217;t</strong> lie.  He was mislead, right along with the rest of us.</p>
<p>The claims that Bush invaded Iraq for personal gain completely ignores the fact that even our <strong>enemies</strong> in the Middle East are benefitting from the removal of one of their biggest competitors in the world oil market, yet liberals would rather have us believe these ridiculous conspiracy theories and they don&#8217;t mind driving a wedge into the heart of the country, in the middle of a war, with their spurious calls for impeachment.</p>
<p>&gt;&lt;</p>
<p>In their warped view of the world they want to blame &#8220;evil&#8221; oil companies for soaring oil prices.  They cry out for them to drill faster, to increase supply and (hopefully) lower prices. Yet, they refuse to allow any oil exploration inside the precious U.S.</p>
<p>Why?  Do they believe that our pristine environment is inviolable while the rest of the world is chopped liver?  Do they honestly believe it helps our international image to ask the world drill more of <strong>their own</strong> oil while we aren&#8217;t willing to drill <strong>any</strong> of our own?</p>
<p>Someone needs to sit these liberals down and say:</p>
<blockquote><p>Of course there are world leaders who don&#8217;t like President Bush.  This is not because they actually have any personal feelings about the man, but because they fear a world with a strong American influence.  They fear the consequences of freedom and liberty for the people of their countries because they would lose the power to rape and torture women and children for their perverted pleasure. They would no longer have the freedom to murder, rape and pillage their innocent populations under the auspices of socialism and &#8220;solidarity.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>In fact, this is part of the strategy they are using to assault America and the west. If they can convince enough of you to start pointing fingers and mistakenly blaming everyone else for all of the perceived troubles in your lives, and they can convince you that your life is worse than it really is, then they can create enough confusion and anarchy in our society to paralyze give them an opening to attack us all.</p>
<p>The fact is, Bush is doing exactly what he needs to do to protect the threats against our free-market, democratic, republic way of life.  To be honest, it is suicidal to support the same candidate as your enemy.  I support the candidate that our enemies fear the most, and that man is veteran, P.O.W., hero and Senator John McCain.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[To deny the G-d given right of the Jews to their homeland and continue down the road that gives validity to the fraudulent "nation of palestinian" is to prolong the man-made destruction and conflict of the region delaying the inevitable.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>The media wants the western public to buy into the propaganda that citizens of Gaza, who allegedly voted for the Hamas terrorist group to lead their society, are suffering unimaginable horrors likened to the true horror and wholesale extermination suffered by Jews at the hands of the Nazi&#8217;s in WWII.  In an ironic twist, they would like the world to believe that the Israeli government has taken the role of the Nazis and are working to exterminate everyone living in Gaza.</p>
<p>Yet, even while they accuse Israel of Hitleresque genocide Hamas wants to project an image of strength and prosperity after their takeover of the territory.  Not surprisingly, in addition to the electric power; 70 truckloads of petrol, food, medication and supplies sent by Israel daily, many citizens of Gaza are still paid their salaries by Fatah even though they have been ordered by the former President of Gaza, Mahmoud Abbas.</p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/06/14/africa/15gaza.php?page=2">Hamas and Gaza emerge reshaped after takeover - International Herald Tribune</a><br />
With no work and a steady wage, there is a once-a-month rush on the ATM&#8217;s and a fair amount of disposable income spent in handsome coffee shops surrounded by Poinciana trees now in bloom. New restaurants have opened recently to take advantage of this phenomenon.</p></blockquote>
<p>The daily footage emerging from Gaza&#8217;s own news sources even present this dichotomy of simultaneous holocaust and prosperity.  To any rational person viewing the propaganda, from sources like Al Jazeera, the effect is on of incredulous disgust.  To see such blatant hypocrisy presented in such a nonchalant manner defies every universal principle of honesty and truth ever conceived.</p>
<p>The fact that <em>any</em> international official would support or even condone such criminal behavior is disquieting enough.  What is truly unsettling the number of people in the world are willing to take any fragment of this propaganda at face value as justification for their own anti-Jewish bigotry. </p>
<p>For anyone who cares to look into the history of Israel it is quite clear that the people who are being called &#8220;palestinians&#8221; are nothing more than a group of Jew-hating refugees who&#8217;s only claim to the land is that they have ancestors who lived there before the entire area – including much of the surrounding lands such as Lebanon, Syria and Jordan – was placed under British rule, after WWII, and given the name &#8220;Palestine&#8221; after the Byzantine province of &#8220;Palestinia&#8221; which came long after the Jews settled there over three thousand years ago.</p>
<p>So, the whole premise of the modern &#8220;palestinian&#8221; people is that somehow the – mostly Eqyptian and Jordanian – refugees, who had settled in the ancient Jewish homeland during Ottoman rule, have the right to depose any Jewish claim to the land.  The whole &#8220;palestinian&#8221; strategy is based on the promise that by refusing to recognize the Jews&#8217; claim their own ancestral land, the refugees in Gaza will be rewarded when their Muslim brothers in the neighboring countries will one day unite to destroy Israel and drive the Jews into the sea.  That is what they believe is the first step in their plan to dominate the entire world and subjugate every corner of the globe to Islamic rule and the barbaric Sharia law.</p>
<p>The &#8220;palestinian&#8221; movement is relying on our global ignorance of history in the Middle-East and actively encourage any misconceptions around the world that support their cause.  It is not uncommon to speak to westerners who mistakenly believe that Islam is not only <em>older</em> than Christianity but also, somehow predates Judaism!  The fact is that their prophet Muhammed was born in 632 A.D.  Less than 1400 years ago, long after the fall of Rome, over 600 years <em>after</em> Jesus was born and over 2000 years <em>after</em> the Jews returned to The Holy Land from their exile in Babylon.</p>
<p>The only answer to this crisis is for Israel to first, completely conquer Judea, Samaria and all of their land up to the border with Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon.  Then, they would exile all enemy combatants to the neighboring country of their choice and give any non-combatants the opportunity to become Israeli citizens and live peacefully in the democratic nation of Israel.  The result would be very clear and defensible borders for Israel allowing Her to effectively protect herself and minimize the need for armed conflict in the region.</p>
<p>To deny the G-d given right of the Jews to their homeland and continue down the road that gives validity to the fraudulent &#8220;nation of palestinian&#8221; is to prolong the man-made destruction and conflict of the region delaying the inevitable.  G-d has already warned us how this is all going to end, He gave us the choice to make it happen peacefully by our own free acceptance of His divine will, or to follow false g-ds and idols which will result in the inevitable apocalypse meant to cleanse evil from The Nations of the world.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know about you, but I&#8217;d prefer the former option. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p> </p>
<p><a href="http://yidwithlid.blogspot.com/2008/06/iraq-is-obamas-achilles-heel-mccain.html">YID With LID: Iraq is Obama&#8217;s Achilles Heel-McCain MUST ATTACK It</a></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been saying this to everyone I talk to about the subject.  McCain has to lay out a confident course going forward in the Middle East that the voters can understand and support.  Most of all, we need to see a lot more coverage of the successes of our soldiers and private citizens working over there.</p>
<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2133/2552637096_d4a3f08b7d.jpg?v=0" alt="A U.S. soldier of the 2nd brigade, 23rd infantry regiment is covered in sweat during a patrol in southern Baghdad, Iraq, on Wednesday, June 20, 2007. (AP Photo/Petros Giannakouris)" width="307" height="409" /> </p>
<p>The more the liberals hammer Bush and conservatives over Iraq and the Middle East the more we need to take their arguments and prove them wrong.  We know now, with the benefit of hindsight, most of the mistakes that we made and we will make more in the future.  Because we&#8217;ve learned from those mistakes we&#8217;ve improved our strategy and made great progress.  Now is the time to broadcast interviews of Iraqis telling us what they think about an Obama withdrawal of American troops in their own words.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve proven that even the liberally biased, main-stream media will pick up a story if ignoring it will make them look bad.  One great source of honest reporting from Iraq that I know of is <a title="Alive in Baghdad" href="http://www.aliveinbaghdad.org" target="_blank">http://www.aliveinbaghdad.org/</a> which is produced entirely by Iraqis.  Thanks to the internet, we no longer have to suffer the lies and half-truths ignorant westerners are scammed into believing are trustworthy like those spread by Al Jazeerah.</p>
<p>While we still have work to do there, we&#8217;ve progressed by leaps and bounds in Iraq with towns that were once violently opposed to any American presence, let alone assistance, which are now the champions of international cooperation.  The Iraqi government is finally starting to stand on two legs with a burgeoning military that is taking the initiative at last and keeping the peace in the streets of Iraq&#8217;s cities with Coalition Forces playing a minor support role when requested.</p>
<p>When the voters understand the purpose behind our strategy in the Middle East they will have something they can support.  When they understand that winning in Iraq means lower gas prices and a healthier economy and that surrender will drive the U.S. in to a depression as countries around the world divest themselves of their American investments in response to what they would see as weakness and defeat.  Make no mistake, Some of the wealthiest men in the world have been supporting the U.S. led Iraq &#8220;war&#8221; with investments that make up a controlling segment of the American economy.  And I&#8217;m talking about the wealthy oil countries who lived as Saddam Hussein&#8217;s neighbors, so they had as much to do with sending the U.S. to war as any CIA agent that got their intelligence from these same friendly investors.</p>
<p>Because Barack has cut the keystone of his campaign from the anti-Iraq war bedrock and successfully exposing the vaporous lies to the heat of public scrutiny will dry up the Obama campaign&#8217;s keystone to crumble like Babelonian temple ruins.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>It&#8217;s not often that I find something worthwhile in TIME, but this article is an exception.  It is non surprise that they would publish an article that paints religious Jews in a negative light, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that they <em>did</em>, at least, point out the difficult and positive steps the community is taking to eliminate the perverted perpetrators of such unspeakable attacks against innocent young souls.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1809880-2,00.html">Cloistered Shame in Israel - TIME</a><br />
&#8220;One stunned participant told reporters that &#8216;not since Moses&#8217; had a rabbi spoken publicly on such forbidden sexual topics.&#8221;</p>
<p>I think the willingness and fortitude required for a community with such deep rooted traditions of secrecy, such as this one, to confront and defeat such horrific crimes is unparalleled.  In fact, our own society seems to have it&#8217;s own difficulties with these problems as evidenced by the recent case in Texas involving the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints or FLDS, which is a highly secretive, orthodox off shoot of the Mormon Church.  The Catholic Church has also recently dealt with similar problems and in both of these cases while we have seen a cursory investigation with indictments going out to the most blatant offenders, but there seems to be a very tight lipped and vigilant attitude pervasive among the remaining member of both cultures.  </p>
<p>Only when a community is willing to examine itself honestly with the courage to follow through with investigations until it becomes clear that the victims can speak out against their attackers with out fear can it begin to truly purify itself.  I am thankful that G-d has blessed these communities with the vision and strength to cleanse themselves of the disgusting vermin who corrupt the innocent.  I hope we see much more good news like this being reported from communities in <em>all</em> nations.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Today is the commemoration of the day the Israelis regained control of the holiest city in the world and what better time to have a soccer match?  Not just any soccer match but one that brings Arab and Jewish children together in the spirit of friendly competition.  Anything the world can do to improve the lines of communication between cultures in conflict must take priority over the rest of our petty differences.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p><a href="http://www.strategypage.com/htmw/htiw/articles/20080527.aspx">Information Warfare: Al Qaeda Discusses Losing Iraq</a></p>
<p>Just in case you still believe the lies that Al Qaeda is winning in Iraq, or that the U.S. is otherwise losing in Iraq, hear it from the horses own mouth.  You probably won&#8217;t hear about this in the main stream liberal media, but according to western intelligence sources, the Arabic language forums and websites frequented by Al Qaeda and their supporters have been a buzz with discussions about how they lost in Iraq.  </p>
<p>Yes, the terrorists not just publicly admitted defeat they are actively discussing their defeat online! Apparently these public discussions and stories by Al Qaeda are a result of their efforts to shore up the supporters that have not yet abandoned them.  They hope to regroup and develop a new strategy.  So, the enemy is not yet destroyed, but they are on the run.</p>
<p>This explains why the latest threat from them is so focused on attacking the mainland U.S. where they won&#8217;t have to worry about collateral the damage against Muslims that they blame for turning the tide of public opinion and support against them.</p>
<p>THIS GOOD NEWS. Not just good for Bush. This is good news for our men and women serving over seas. This is good news for the Iraqi people trying to rebuild their homeland. This is good news for every following generation that stands to benefit from the peaceful freedom and liberty that is being cultivated in a land wracked with war and tyranny for centuries. Ultimately, this is good news for us all.</p>
<p>Share this story and let the thousands of dead soldiers and civilians know that they did not die in vain. Let them know that we recognize their victory and the defeat of our common enemy. </p>

<p><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/05/27/world/middleeast/27afghan.html?_r=1&amp;partner=rssnyt&amp;emc=rss&amp;oref=slogin">Optimism Grows as Marines Push Against Taliban - NYTimes.com</a></p>
<p>Could this be?  Is it true?  The New York Times is reporting good news!</p>
<blockquote><p>The whole area was unexpectedly welcoming to the American forces and eager for security and development, Captain Moder said. &#8216;Us pushing the Taliban out allows the Afghan National Army to come in,&#8217; he said. &#8216;This is a real breadbasket here. There’s a lot of potential here.&#8217;</p></blockquote>
<p>I wonder how many other main-stream-media outlets will have the chutzpah to buck the usual trend of anti-American sentiment, they&#8217;ve been helping our enemies grow to monsterous proportions over the last eight years, and follow the NYTimes&#8217; example.</p>
