United Nations Failure 09/25/2009
 by Ron Russell The United Nations of today is NOT the United Nations of Roosevelt or Churchhill, if those two men were alive today most in the UN would be calling for them to be tried as war criminals and condemned for there actions during WWII. The UN of today is totally dominated by the forces of rampant nationalism, neo-socialist, and neo-communist. These forces totally control the General Assembly and therefore most actions of that organization. The security council has become powerless to act because each of the five permanent members has a veto and all seldom agree on anything. This UN funded primarily by the United States is an organization that hates this country and the state of Israel and no longer represents the views of the average American citizen, but has the views of the radical American far left and I should add the views of the current administration who sadly are part of the hate-America crowd. We have in Obama, a president who is in lockstep with the UN and not with the people of his own country. You know something is wrong when when the radical leader of Libya, Muammar Gaddafi wants Obama to be president for life---he said that just yesterday in his rambling address to the General Assembly. The UN has become a place where terrorists are praised to the cheering crowds in the General Assembly while the USA and Israel are condemned for simply trying to defend themselves. The American taxpayer has had enough, and yet we continue to contribute billions of dollars to these radicals at the UN, to these people who condemn us at every turn. Without the funding of U S taxpayers the UN would collapse and this useless organization who hates America would cease to exist. Below is a brief portion of Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to the UN today. A speech which was not well received by the delegates in attendance. Netanyahu Condemns U.N. for Allowing Ahmadinejad to Deliver Address Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed astonishment that the United Nations would give Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad "legitimacy" just six decades after the Holocaust. Holding aloft evidence of Hitler's Final Solution, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday railed against Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for his denial of the Holocaust and scolded the United Nations for allowing Ahmadinejad to speak during its opening session of the 64th U.N. General Assembly. Offering detailed reminders of the war that sent 6 million Jews to their deaths in concentration camps and recalling the agreement within the world body to create the Jewish State, Netanyahu took his turn at the dais to express astonishment at what he witnessed a day earlier. He commended those who boycotted Ahmadinejad's speech, but condemned those who allowed it. "To those who gave this Holocaust denier a hearing, I say on behalf of my people. ... Have you no shame? Have you no decency?" Netanyahu said. Netanyahu scolded the United Nations for giving the Iranian president "legitimacy" just six decades after the Holocaust. Ahmadinejad addressed the body Wednesday, and in the run-up to the session repeated his belief that the Holocaust is a myth. "What a disgrace," Netanyahu said. "What a mockery of the charter of the United Nations."read more from FOX Barack Hussein Obama & The Islamic World 06/05/2009
 by Thomas Craig President Obama yesterday made a remarkable speech in the mid-east. His goal was to begin to heal the hatred between Islam and the West. While this goal is an admirable one, it unfortunately was nothing more than a show. Yes, it was praise-worthy for the President to refer to the Koran and use Arabic quotes. This all shows his sincerity to the cause and I am sure many Muslim's appreciated the gesture. I am also sure that as soon as the President stepped down from the podium, all those who watched in the Islamic world went right back to hating America. Although many people in the Islamic world are still living in a "crusades-era" state of mind, where "infidels" are everywhere and the whole world should be run as a theocracy, they are not without intelligence. These people want to see actions more than words. This, of course, will be difficult since the actions they seek are everything from complete withdrawal of American forces from the mid-east to all Israeli's getting on a boat and leaving the Country they built and give it to the Palestinians. It is impossible for us to truly appease these people. Israel is a main source of anger in the Islamic world and the President is taking a hard stance against Israeli settlements. He obviously neglected to mention Palestinian terrorists and their contribution to the conflict. Muslims want to hear the President condemn Israel and it just will not happen, nor should it. Israel is our greatest ally in the middle east and we will not ruin that friendship for the sake of befriending Nations with atrocious human rights records and rampant oppression. The President also could have taken more time to speak about women's rights. Women in the middle east currently have about as much rights as livestock. This alone should disgust any moral human being. Again, we are dealing with a mentality which is centuries behind us. I know this sounds rather ethnocentric but it is true. We certainly have a road ahead of us when it comes to our way of thinking. (Just read our post: Dick Cheney, Is That Really You?) But we at least recognize many of our faults of the past and acknowledge that race or gender is not grounds for discrimination. Let's be honest here, if the Islamic Nations had not been lucky enough to live on top of pools of oil, the world would have allowed them to destroy themselves long ago. It is their ignorance and absurdity which is why I always support energy independence. The sooner we begin to relinquish our dependence on these Nation's oil fields, the sooner we can take the hard line approach to them and their backwards culture that we should. When we stand by and try to appease these Countries, we condone the way they treat their own citizens and the many abuses which are a way of life over there. The Threat of Iran 05/26/2009
by Liz Berney Israel & Palestine: A Two State Solution 05/18/2009
 by Thomas Craig President Obama is meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to speak about solutions for the Mideast conflict. Obama, as expected, is set to push his two-state solution for the problem which is currently not too popular within Israel. This is understandable since any Nation which is forced to endure constant threats of terrorism would be logically opposed to "rewarding" their enemies. While you cannot say that the Israeli People are wrong for their resistance to this idea, I do believe it would be in the entire world's best interest for this to happen. First, a Palestinian State would appease SOME, certainly not all, Palestinians. They don't want to be governed by a foreign People anymore than we do. A Palestinian State would allow them to truly govern themselves without interference from Israel. They would invest in their Country and (ideally) prosper. This would not only benefit the Palestinians but Israel as well. Right now, the Palestinian People do not have much, if anything. A People with nothing to lose will go to extreme means just to gain something. If these same People create a true Country with an economy, infrastructure, social programs, etc., they will be less willing to lose it all. Hamas shoots rockets into Israel and Israel responds with raids. Does anything really get accomplished? If the State of Palestine exists, there will be more opposition within to sanction the terror and risk losing the administrations power. Israel would be able to attack real targets as opposed to renegade terrorists hiding in schools and Mosques. It levels the playing field and sends a stronger message to the Palestinian People as a whole. A Palestinian State would also lessen the martyr card so loved by the Leaders in other Muslim Nations. All the Arab Countries surrounding Israel are governed by Leaders who use the Palestinians as a scapegoat for their troubles. These Leaders are corrupt and tyrannical and by distracting the masses, they maintain their power. This is why the Arab Nations offer so little help, if any at all, to the Palestinians. They cry out over their unity with the Palestinians but they do nothing. If a state of Palestine were to exist, people might stop blaming Israel for their own problems and start questioning their own Leaders. These are some reasons why I support the two State solution, but my main reason is this. This endless cycle of violence will not stop unless something radical happens. Israel will not give up and will not lay down and let the world handle this problem. The world has shown too many times just exactly how they prefer to "deal" with Jews. Israel has made many concessions and they will be forced to make more in the future. A Palestinian State is something that will have to happen sooner or later. The Palestinians, however, will have to make concessions as well. They can have their own Nation, but they have to recognize that Israel is here to stay. I have every confidence that at some point, they will realize this and the result will be progress. The question is whether it happens now or later. |   Recent Posts
