Ex-president and obvious anti-Semite Jimmy Carter is at it again. At a London press conference over the Memorial Day weekend, Carter described Israel’s blockade of the Gaza Strip as “one of the greatest human rights crimes now existing on Earth” and said that the European Union’s failure to support the Palestinian cause was “embarrassing”.

He was responding to a question about the level of threat posed by Iran to Israel, and had prefaced the above gushing expression of his dhimmitude by saying that Israel has “150 or more” nuclear weapons, “the US has more than 12,000 nuclear weapons, the Soviet Union (sic) has about the same; Great Britain and France have several hundred, and Israel has 150 or more.” “We have a phalanx of enormous weaponry, not only of enormous weaponry, but of rockets to deliver those missiles on a pinpoint accuracy target.”

This apparently was meant to imply that Iran’s possession of nuclear bombs would be minor in comparison and therefor not worth worrying about, even though Iran has sworn to wipe the state of Israel entirely off the Middle Eastern map.

Why Mr. Carter insists on exposing his hatred for Israel to the world, I have no idea, but I sure wish this former leader of our nation would shut up about it. He thinks the refusal of the E.U. to support the cause of the terrorist regimes of Palestine is embarrassing? Only to him. His support of terrorists is extremely embarrassing to America and all Americans and I dearly wish he would SHUT THE HELL UP!

The state of our current political morass is at least as embarrassing as Jimmy Carter’s non-stop mouth, and these paragraphs from a Black Star News article sum it up eloquently:

“While it is true that our current condition is primarily due to Republican greed, shortsightedness, and ineptitude, it is also true that we find ourselves in this condition as a result of the total impotence of the Democratic Party. Democratic politicians have been absolutely gutless for the past seven years. Instead of fighting for the soul of this nation and the ideals they profess to believe in, Democrats have been basing their actions on the direction of the wind; and instead of standing up for what was in the best interest of the nation, they were cowering in the basement on Capitol Hill, desperately trying to protect their own political careers.

But now that the Republican Party has all but self-destructed, the Democrats have chosen this moment to come strutting out to tell us all they want to do to protect our interest. Where were they before the Republican Party all but dropped dead of gluttony? If the Republican Party is indeed in the throes of death, it’s only resulting from Democrats allowing them to gorge themselves to death. And even now, the Democrats don’t have the intestinal fortitude to stand up to two egomaniacal Republicrats, (a reference to Bill and Hillary) as they wreak havoc within the Democrats’ own ranks.”

Carter is only one loose piece of the total fragmentation of our political leadership. There is no longer any cohesion among our government leaders. Just as the above article points out, they’re all out for themselves instead of uniting in the interests of their nation. None of them are putting America first, making the betterment of America their common goal. Instead they all bicker and feud and backstab, jockeying for power and chunks of pork.

It’s embarrassing.

This posed picture is what the New York Times would have you believe is Palestinians grieving. There’s not a tear in the crowd. Note the two arrows, the one on the left pointing at the back of someones head who didn’t want to be in the picture and the one in the center, top, pointing at someone far more interested in the camera than in bothering to pretend sadness.

Staged scenes are common among these people. Remember all the phony pictures that were exposed during the fighting in Lebanon, the same woman appearing all over Lebanon, supposedly grieving, the body of the same dead child repeatedly held up in different bombed sites, an ambulance with bullet holes from a Hizbollah machine gun and the claim that Israelis shoot at ambulances.

The phony scene above is supposedly over the death of some terrorist relative. Gee. How sad. So why is the New York Times showing us this tripe instead of a real picture of the dead Israeli soldiers who died defending their country from terrorist attacks? I think it’s a good question.

Russia called on Israel and the Palestinians to end the latest wave of violence to give peace a chance. What? Has Putin been listening to John Lennon records? Not likely.

“Moscow once again voices its categorical condemnation of the rocket attacks on Israeli territory,” Russia’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement. “They must stop immediately.”

Sounds like Russia just wants everybody to just get along, right?

Moscow also said it could not accept that “shells and bombs are falling on the heads of peaceful (Palestinian) women and children, under the pretext of fighting these acts of terror”.

The pretext? You mean that Israel is deliberately bombing and killing women and children? That’s untrue in the extreme and the world knows it.

“Given the tough blockade of the Gaza Strip, the permanent humanitarian catastrophe, such acts by Israel only give extra arguments to those not willing that Israel and a future Palestinian state should live in peace and harmony,” the statement said.

Ahhh, now we come to the truth of it. The bleat about condemning the terrorist attacks on Israel was only to preface another verbal assault on Israel for defending itself. The plain truth is that the Russians care nothing about the Palestinians, what they care about is appeasing Arabs, and making speeches condemning Israel goes to that end.

Russia has never been a safe haven for Jews, who have suffered pogrom after pogrom at the hands of the Russians throughout history, so this should surprise no one.

Anyone reading the reports on Israels counter-attacks can’t help noting that children are always listed as among the Palestinian dead. Those statements are taken entirely from Hamas and are very likely false, although it is true that the terrorists do like to fire rockets where children are in the hope that some of the kids will be killed if there’s a response from Israel. Then they can hold up little dead bodies and blame Israel. So take the reports of dead children with a huge grain of salt. The Israelis try very hard to target only the terrorists.

It needs to be remembered that the Palestinians are not the victims of Israel. They’re the victims of a doctrine they’re born into that teaches them to hate Jews. All they need to do to have peace and prosperity is to stop murdering people who mean them no harm.

The latest in a series of Israeli airstrikes left at least 20 Palestinians dead Thursday, as Israel considers a new invasion of Gaza to confront Hamas. Israel’s deadly attacks on Gaza came the same day that Palestinian militants launched a barrage of long-range rockets at the city of Ashkelon.

The BBC reports that Deputy Defense Minister Matan Vilnai went so far as to warn Palestinians that continued rocket attacks would bring about a “bigger holocaust”, a word seldom used in Israel outside discussions of the Nazi genocide during World War II.

We may soon see a full-on invasion of Gaza once again.

Israel is a strange nation, populated by people who would love to just be happy, complacent sheep but are forced to be fighting rams instead by the malevolent forces that surround them. They stand as proof for the rest of us that, even when ringed by enemies, a determined people can hold them at bay. Considering the rise of anti-American feeling in the world, their example may be of real value to us in the future.

That’s because we’re in the process once again of selecting our leader for the next four no doubt very eventful years, and as usual we don’t seem to be choosing very carefully.

One of the Democratic candidates has been a member for 20 years of an all black, very Afro-centric and racist, “unashamedly black” church that openly supports anti-semitism and honors Americas worst Jew-hater, muslim Louis Farrakhan. While he says he denounces his pastors close ties with this muslim fanatic, he continues to maintain his membership in this church and refers to Farrakhan as “Minister Farrakhan” instead of saying it like it is.

You can’t judge a book by it’s cover, and a bold title can mask a bad narrative.

I think Barack Hussein Obama is a wolf in sheeps clothing. If he’d left that church and really spoken out about its practices long before being prodded to say something, it would have been believable. Not now, it’s too late. Ahh, but sheep don’t think. That’s why they’re sheep.
