While I was in Israel I read "Obama Nation" by Jerome Corsi.
It was fascinating to say the least, it gave real insight into who Barack Obama is and how he came to be President of the United States, from his childhood through college, community organizing and on to his presidential campaign. Plus all the people who influenced him along the way. One of the biggest influences was his father, he adopted his fathers view on many things and Dinesh D'Souza expanded on that in his new article in Forbes Magazine (read it; http://bit.ly/b8aXwm ).
The books Obama wrote should have been enough to keep him from being president with out Dr. Corsi's book, but it seems like millions of people bought them but no one read them. "Obama Nation" which was first published in 2008 was supposed to be a warning at what having Barack Obama in the White House would look like. Warnings were ignored and the "Post-racial" Obama came in swinging. I don't have to tell you what Obama has done, we are all living it as I type.
Read the book, or at least the article and know if we let the mid-term elections go by and don't make some REAL changes, "Nightmare Of Our Children's Future" will be like Obama's Father's dreams... A Reality!

9 Years Later
So 9 years later as the anniversary of Sept 11 approaches again I find myself just as angry as I was on 9/12/01. I watched exactly 7 minutes of "Giuliani's 9/11", an interview style recount of the day from Rudy himself, I had to shut it off because I was so angry we let this happen.
To make matters worse 9 years later Ground Zero is still a pit, and the Flight 93 Memorial is looking to be crescent shaped and facing Mecca. How are we so buried in bureaucratic slime can we not have rebuilt the Twin Towers. The "Freedom" tower is just the opposite, it is the we are scared masses who want to be enslaved tower. Is America never going to reach for the sky again just because some muslim whack jobs caught us off guard? 9 years later there is still hope; http://www.twintowersalliance.com/ is working on stopping the Freedumb tower and restoring the NY skyline to it's proper glory. The original Twins took 7 years to build, but with modern technology and state of the art materials the new Twin Towers could be standing in 3 years. Stronger then before, and smarter as well.
I know I have written about this before, probably around this time in previous years. We can't change the past, but we can make the future right, we can give our posterity the same beautiful gift we had for the 30+ years the WTC stood as a beacon on a hill so the world could look to us for strength, stability and safety. 9 years later we find ourselves in the midst of a deep recession, a President who doesn't have our best interest at heart and turns his back on our trusted allies while he bows to dictators and kings. 9 years later America stands divided, some that want to stand by our Constitution and rely on the wisdom of God and our Founding Fathers, then others who would take us down the path of socialism and an overgrown government that taxes us mercilessly, controls our lives form our doctors to our air conditioners to our light bulbs. 9 years later the war is still raging and our Troops have their hands tied by lawyers that watch their every move and tell them when they fire their guns. 9 years later we again have the chance to make things right we have 9 values and 12 priciples we can hold to, in order to have a rebirth of what the Founding Fathers intended for us;
The Nine Principles
1. America is good.
2. I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life.
3. I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday.
4. The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government.
5. If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.
6. I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results.
7. I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable.
8. It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion.
9. The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me.
The Twelve Values
Let's take a stand, let's make this year better than the last. Relight the fires in our souls and show the world that 10 Years Later American is back, and we will not be bullied by enemies foreign or domestic. 10 years later we have the bases of two new towers rising from the ashes. 10 years later the people of America are united behind God and the Forefathers who in 8 pages laid out our government, a government of the people by the people for the people!
P.S. You can find the 9-12 ideas and mony other great ones in Common Sense;

The Question is Who?
I watch the news, a lot and I read even more on the internet. Being a conservative republican is not easy these days. While I think we will do well in the mid-terms coming up, I am troubled about two years from now. Who can we (conservatives) put up against Obama (or Clinton if you believe the rumors), there are a lot of names swirling around, but I am not sure about any of them.
Sarah Palin- She's smart, but I don't think she has the experience to run the Country. Being governor is usually enough and I understand Alaska is a big state with big issues that the governor has to deal with. But I can't equate that to running the US, especially a US that is in a financial crisis almost Great Depression sized. I see a bright future for her in the RNC chair.
John McCain- That's a damn joke and I never want to hear it again. RINO.
Fred Thompson- I think he may have been able to do the job two years ago but now he's done.
Mitt Romney- May be our best chance, he's a governor, he's a businessman, but he's also just barely conservative. Governing a state like Massachusetts you have to be a center guy. It's a blue state and it has it's own socialized health care, I know Romney says what works for the state is not for the country but that will always be in my head, up front. Oh and I don't care about his religion, Mormons have never flown a plane into a building, yes that's how I judge!
John Boehner- He also may be our best chance. Though I don't like the idea of a congressman advancing to the seat of President. Boehner is very smart and politically savvy, he was even the president of a fairly large plastics company which gives him some business experience. But he is also a politician through and through and my gut tells me to be wary of that. Politicians say whatever they have to, to get elected the R or D mean nothing.
???????????- There are a few other names out there but it is all up in the air. I know if we want to dethrone the O we will need a solid conservative candidate who is going to produce real change, not the same old canned political crap we've been getting for the past 18 years.

A Lot To Cover
The last time I posted I was on the other side of the world in Jerusalem, over two months ago. I know it has been awhile but things were pretty crazy. I want to cover Israel first then I will get to the last month in a half.
For a guy who had never left North America going to Israel was a huge step, a new world where I knew no one or the language. I arrived in the Old City going on fifty four hours of no sleep and no idea what I had gotten myself into. Aish Ha Torah Yeshiva is a school of Jews who want to learn what Judaism is and how it all works. From the basics all the way up to deep Kabalah (no not Madonna's stupid red string). Being a Christian in a Jewish school was very interesting. I didn't tell too many people about my back round so being Jewish by birth I fit in well, I also heard some very strange things. Most of which I shrugged off but some things just stuck with me. I am not going to get into too much detail right now, maybe next post. I will say that Old City Jerusalem is an amazing place and I had an incredible experiance. I wouldn't trade the trip for a million dollars. I met great people and made friends I hope to keep for the rest of my days. The learning was very intense, I submerged myself in the culture and ultimately bit of more than I could chew. I was full on kosher and shomer shabbos (mean I kept the sabbath). It was more than I could handle and I spun out after three weeks, the day after Passover. Some good advise from a very wise Rabbi had me grounded shortly after but not before I found a place I could go and blow off all the steam that built during long days of class, a dank old dorm room and mediocre meals. I'll get to that place next, but let me finish with Aish. I learned more in the three and a half months there then any other school I've ever attended. I even picked up a good bit of Hebrew, I have always wanted to be multi-lingual and it came so easy I am going to keep learning. I ultimately want to read the original Biblical text myself. That and I figure if I can get Hebrew down, learning another, maybe Japanese will be easier.
The other place I spent my time in was Scream, a heavy metal bar just outside the Old City. Talk about conflicting worlds (though not to me)! Scream was a place I could be myself, they played the music I love and no one was judging or insulting. At Scream I met even more great people, from the staff to the regulars, who I must add were mostly Russian (or Ukrainian), I heard almost as much Russian as Hebrew! Now I did drink, a lot, it"s not something I am proud of, but it was a way for me to relax and enjoy myself. I would have burned out and left much sooner if I didn't find Scream. It helped that my dorm neighbor Mark was a metal head as well, I had a p.i.c. and we had some great times.
When I left Jerusalem for the airport in Tel Aviv I was already almost twenty four hours without sleep and that didn't change for another twenty hours. Forty four hours later I was home and getting my first nights sleep. I spent the week vegging out and figured I would get on the job hunt. But not more than a week back and I ended up in the hospital with this crazy infection in my leg. My right leg had swollen to double it's size, I had a fever and the pain was horrible. Ten days later I left the hospital pretty much the same way I went in minus the fever. The Docs told me it was cellulitus and if i kept up on the medication it would pass in time. Now two months later it is still not completely healed. But I can walk and the pain is gone so, glass half full I guess. Most of you have already heard all these stories, but I wanted them on paper anyway.
I will be posting regularly now and am willing to answer any questions about my trip.

A Quick Update
OK my time in Israel is rapidly coming to a close, but since I am still here this post will be short and sweet. When I get back I will post an extended review of my time here. Both what I am doing and the politics I experienced. One thing I will say is it has been cool and rainy almost the whole time I have been here, which is out of place being this is a desert! Global Warming forgot about the Holy Land I guess. Suck it Algore! I just recently read that the US is experiencing a record low number of tornadoes this year, btw it was supposed to be record highs. Along with that the "experts" are predicting a worse than normal hurricane season as well. Funny thing is they have said this every year since Katrina and been wrong every time. But God forbid we do get a bad season and the nuts will claim some sort of victory. Weirdos! The sad part is the brainwashed masses are still crying over the melting glaciers in the north drowning the poor polar bears. Someone should tell them polar bears are expert swimmers and can hold their breath for an hour or better. I would rant more but my fingers are freezing off here in the cold of the Israeli desert.

Israel
Ok I know I haven't posted in a while, I'm currently in Jerusalem on a study trip. In my quest to get closer to God I thought this place would be a good stepping stone. I have been learning and seeing the sites, which are to numerous to name, using my time here to hep figure out some direction in this crazy mixed up world.
My internet access is hard to come by, usually I am standing outside using the signal of a nice guy who doesn't mind people killing his bandwidth. So following the news is kinda tough but from what I've seen it's business as usual for the Obama Admin. I can tell you the people here are NOT fans. Biden was here last week and it led to the Arab's rioting and many police and soldiers wounded. From what I can tell Obama is having enough trouble at home to keep him busy without nosing into Israel's sovereign business.
I have also found Israel like most other places base a lot of their cooking on tomatoes. Which would be great if I wasn't allergic! Last week the school I am at served 6 tomato based dishes in 4 days, and the cheapest replacement is pizza, more jokes on me. But I'll survive even though peanut butter is $8 for a regular sized jar. No TV or radio here makes Jason something... something... At least I can go outside and get an internet signal a couple blocks from my dorm. I had found a closer spot but it was secluded and things got dicey when 3 arabs came and started hassling me. No more close internet.
My scheduled return date is June sixth, so I will try to post here when I can. Though I post daily updates on Facebook and quicker ones on Twitter.

To Palin or not to Palin?
There has certainly been a lot of emotion surrounding Sarah Palin in the last 18 months or so, some good, most coming from the MSM just downright mean. When the state controlled media goes to such huge measure to discredit someone you know they are deathly afraid. The Left is doing everything in their power to make sure Sarah Palin is not an option for 2012. The question I present to conservatives is should she be an option?
I have no doubt Sarah is a smart woman, but can she be President? Sure she was a governor, and Alaska is a big state but it's not a very populous state. Now I know you can say the same about Mitt Romney, but his executive experience doesn't stop with being governor. He has big business under his belt, she was a local mayor. Call me sexist but another issue that has to be considered is her children. It's more than just small children but one who is mentally disabled. Having Trig is a very big burden on her, her time will always be split between the country and her children. Sure many Presidents have had children in the White House but it is different with a woman and that one of the children has special needs. Folksy nature isn't a plus either. Jimmy Carter had a folksy nature... Enough said. Don't misread me, I am not saying a woman can't be President, while I wouldn't have liked her any more than Obama, Hillary Clinton would have been a better choice for the Democrats. She would have been stronger than Obama. Sarah Palin just doesn't have what it takes to be President of the United States. I don't have a magic answer to who should run, but if we want to recapture the Executive Office then we have to find a person who is more than just charismatic and folksy.
