WELCOME

You are reading the thoughts of one who has kept them mostly out of the public venue. By virtue of the concept, blogs seem narcissistic so you can expect a lot of personal pronouns to show up.

I don't like being pigeonholed, though many have called me a conservative. I agree with much of what is often considered conservative views, but I do tend to occasionally differ on this view point. I have also been termed opinionated. Well, please remember this is my view, and I consider my view valid until convinced otherwise. That doesn't necessarily make it right; it simply makes it my view.

Please feel free to leave a comment.

All right, let's get started. You are about to read neither the rantings of a madman nor the reflections of a genius. Perhaps somewhere in between:

The Speech We Might Not Have Heard

I had the distinct pleasure today – no thanks to Emperor Obama – of listening to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu address a joint session of the American Congress. It is indeed a sad situation when a meeting of this importance has to be brokered by the Speaker of the House and not our top executive, Barack Hussein Obama.

After listening to Mr. Netanyahu speak, I soon realized why the President and Secretary of State were so against this meeting. It wasn’t because of the perceived “snub” or the timing of the speech with the Israeli elections. The reason for the Obama administration’s disapproval of the speech could only be that Israel has a legitimate dissent against the “bad, very bad” agreement brokered by the US with Iran over their nuclear program.

As a country, the US doesn’t have many real friends in the Middle East. We do business with Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, and a few others, but Israel is our one true friend in that part of the world. And no wonder; all of their neighbor countries are out to annihilate them. Israel’s worst enemy, though, is without doubt Iran. Iran and its radical Muslim rulers have stated on many occasions that ‘Israel has no right to exist.’

Of course, Hitler said the same about the people that now populate Israel. In an odd twist of history, it was actually Heinrich Himmler who surreptitiously contributed to the inflation of the Jewish population of British-controlled Palestine (now Israel) before WWII.

Is there anyone on this planet that doubts where the first Iranian target would be if and when Iran finally possess nuclear weapons capability? Well, it is clear to Bibi Netanyahu and the people of Israel what the answer to that question would be. The first rocket would land squarely in the heart of Tel Aviv.

The Obama administration has had Secretary of State John Kerry working overtime to get Iran to halt its nuclear program. A development that on one believes will not end in the development of nuclear weapons. Unfortunately, it seems the best Mr. Kerry could wring out of the Ayatollahs was a lame agreement that would give Iran about a year “breakout” period to having a bomb. Netanyahu made a strong case that the “breakout” period could be even considerably less under the agreement brokered by Kerry.

Despite the plea by Israel’s Prime Minister, Obama has no intention to go back to the negotiating table for a better, more secure, agreement. He wouldn’t even come in person to listen to Israel’s case.

But why would our president not even listen to the pleas of the Israeli people?

Muslims and Jews are like oil and water. They may never mix – even though they share the same origin – Abraham. Obama was raised a Muslim. No secret there. A large percentage of his administration are Muslims. Well, yes, there are even Jews in Obama’s administration. However – and this is a big however – there are purported to be documents that claim the Obama administration has strong ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Actions invariably speak louder than words. When Israel was being pummeled by rockets – made in Iran – from within the Palestinian territories and the Israelis finally retaliated, the Obama administration demanded Israel stop. Did they even bother to condemn the Palestinians? Obama likes to talk tough about the despicable horrors of ISIS/ISIL, but then attempts to justify their actions saying all they need is jobs. In a visit to India, Obama compared ISIS actions to that of the Christian Crusaders of the middle ages.

We must remember that Muslims are permitted to lie. According to the Quran, there are two forms of lying to non-believers that are permitted under certain circumstances, taqiyya and kitman.  These circumstances are typically those that advance the cause Islam – in some cases by gaining the trust of non-believers in order to draw out their vulnerability and defeat them. In other words, to Muslims, the end always justifies the means.

The United States may be Israel’s best friend, but it is clear that the Obama administration does not have Israel’s best interests at heart. This is very unfortunate because Israel will do whatever necessary to ensure its survival even if that means incinerating huge portions of Iran. “Never Again” is more than a mere slogan in Israel, it is a way of life.
