One Day Later

Yesterday on the anniversary of 9/11, I warned you about the constant hate in the muslim world. Mere minutes after I submitted that post I started getting tweets about Egyptians storming our embassy in Cairo. Muslims burned our flag and shouted "There are a billion of us Obama, we are all Osama". This is a clue that the stupid muhammad movie has nothing to do with this. This was a coordinated attack on the anniversary of the biggest victory any enemy has ever had against the United States. An attack that started in a country Obama handed to the muslim brotherhood after an "arab spring" that was a peaceful uprising for the first 20 minutes. Twenty minutes after that I knew it was just a matter of time before Egypt was a islamic republic. 

A few hours after the embassy attack in Egypt, it happened again in Benghazi Libya. Except the embassy in Egypt had a heads up on the attack and was cleared out before the violence started. The embassy in Benghazi was not so lucky. The also recently "freed from the tyranny of Qaddafi" Libyans stormed our embassy, burned it down and murdered Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three of his staff. I opted yesterday not to show you graphic photos, but its a new day and maybe you didn't get everything I was trying to tell you yesterday. 

That is the body of US Ambassador Christopher Stevens, being desecrated by islamist who murdered him and dragged his body through the streets for 12 hours. Yes it took 12 hours to recover his body. Now my heart goes out to his family and I am sure they don't want to see their husband, father, son, uncle or brother like this. But you need to. You need to see what we are up against. This is not some council of Christian parents writing letters to Nickelodeon because Jason Biggs is an animal who doesn't belong on children's television. This is a group if islamist who are working right out of their holy text to "smite infidels at their necks." While Stevens was suffocated to death, many others have been beheaded by dull knives while they are still alive. I watched Daniel Pearl die, no one should ever have to go like that. 

We have to wise up and stop this. The apology issued by the embassy in Egypt that was released before any violence had taken place is just another notch in the belt of the islamist that are out to see us destroyed. This muhammad movie was screened one time in Los Angeles months ago, the "Israeli Jew" that made it Sam Bacile doesn't exist. Looks like now the movie was funded by "evangelics and copts". The real question is who gave it to the Egyptians and why?  The more of this whole situation that comes into the light the worse it looks. Well planned, coordinated and probably funded by the muslim brotherhood. We have to show them we are not a "paper tiger" and we will fight. Since we know Obama has no interest if this fight he needs to go. Do I know exactly what Mitt Romney will do? No, but I do know what Obama will do, nothing. He will let Iran have nuclear weapons, he will let the muslim brotherhood take over nations that were once considered allies, he will leave our border porous and open to any kind of illegal activity you can dream of. Former Admiral Mike Mullen has said that "our national debt is the biggest threat to national security", and that was trillions of dollars ago.

This election is shaping up to be one of the most important of our time, but don't take my word on it. Look at the facts, unemployment, the national debt, the US credit rating, the border, taxes, foreign policy! We can't afford continue absorbing this kind of damage to our country. In 53 days we either take back our nation or we give it away. You Decide!

No Future?

A few days ago the space shuttle Atlantis landed on Earth for the last time. With that we (the USA) have retired our fleet (what's left of it) of shuttles and ended the American space program almost completely. NASA is a former shell of what it once was, devoting more time to climate change (a hoax) and making nice with muslims (that don't care). American, might, industry, ingenuity and pride are being swept out to sea. Thanks partly to the Bush and mostly to the Obama administration's murdering of our economy. 


The cost of the entire Apollo program and the Shuttle program combined is right at 400 billion dollars*. While  four of five years ago that may have seemed like a lot of money, keep in mind that Obama's failed stimulus that was supposed to keep unemployment under 8.5% cost 800 billion. So for half the cost of the stupid so called stimulus we put men on the moon and space ships going back and forth for 30 years. Add the ISS (international space station, that's called international but essentially we paid for and built the whole thing and let other countries paint their flag on.) in for another 100 billion and it's still sad. The future lies in space and America is giving the future away to China and Russia.


Russia is celebrating, they are now the kings of space and we have to pay them millions of dollars to take our astronauts out to the ISS. Far less glamorous than our shuttle, the principle of Russia's Soyuz rocket and capsule system for sending humans into space has changed little since Yuri Gagarin became the first man in orbit in 1961. Yep we're flying in over fifty year old Russian tech. But it's not that bad, last year they switched the Soyuz capsule from an anolog computer to a digital. Yeah last year...

So the question whether space exploration is really desirable at a time when so much needs doing on here on Earth comes to mind? It is a serious question that requires a serious answer. There are many arguments, from jobs and education to technology development and national security, for keeping us in space. Though one argument stands out, that argument is exploration, and that we should continue to challenge ourselves for the one basic reason; self-preservation as a free creative, intelligent society. As opposed to a stagnating, socialist slave society.

Only Friend

Many of you know that this time last year I was living in Jerusalem in the Old City a mere two minute walk from the Western Wall or as we call it the Kotel. While I was there I witnessed first hand how the Palestinians act on a daily basis. While some seemed like friendly normal people most of the ones I came in contact with were angry and prone towards violence. The two times I walked through the Arab Quarter of the Old City I had rocks thrown at me by adults and children. I also saw the "Protest", more rock throwing along with tire burning and yelling at police. To disperse the crowds before things got too violent the police used tear gas. I watched the media there filming the "poor protesters" running away from the gas only to either stop running right after they passed the camera or even walk their children into the gas only to come running out in front of the camera.

I mention this because of the new current "Protest" that are taking place in Israel. This new tactic of bombarding the borders with unarmed protesters is just another way of chiseling at Israel's defenses. According to Fox News this is only the beginning, kind of a test run, and we will see more of these in greater numbers in the near future. Sunday's unrest occurred as the Palestinians marked the "nakba," or "catastrophe" this is the (peace partner) term they use to describe their defeat in the war that followed Israel's founding on May 15, 1948 when Israel stomped the armies of surrounding Arab states as well as local Arabs who attacked just hours after the Jewish state was declared.

The Prime Minister of Hamas (the terrorist organization that runs the Palestinian Authority) Haniyeh who claims to want peace with Israel said yesterday that he "prays for an end to Israel" and that Hamas will never acknowledge Israel's right to exist. Of course in the same speech he said they will recognize the name of "The State of Israel" so good luck trying to figure out what that means.

The Obama Administration has been changing our relationships in the middle east. Obama has alienated our only true friend in the middle east by endorsing regime change in Egypt that has given that country over to the Muslim Brotherhood. Condemned Israel for protecting itself and looked the other way as Iran continues to build nuclear weapons and threaten Israel's safety. Now my definition of friend doesn't fit with what Obama is doing there. We need speak out as a people and remind the administration that we have one true friend in the middle east and supporting them should be our primary concern. Not coddling countries run by dictators or terrorist, but standing up to them and telling them that the USA and Israel with stand together to stop the madness by whatever means necessary.

Glenn Beck is planning another big rally, this time in Jerusalem. He wants all faiths to come together and take a stand, not just for Israel but for the world. “I invite you to join me in Israel this summer to stand together and show the world what living a life of faith and honor really means. I invite you to join me in my quest to Restore Courage,” Glenn said. Courage is lacking in society today. We see glimmers here and there, even from Obama who made the call to take out bin Laden, of course it took him three days to make the decision, but he made the right call. We see other instances of courage all over, but it is time that courage becomes a fore-stand not just something we summon as a last resort.
