Weird anti-Semitic rant of the day

    Hugo Chavez already has paranoia, stealing food from the starving, plundering his country's economy, and using terrorism to destabilize a neighbor on his dictatorial resume. However, no mad tyrant's career can be considered complete without a bizarre  anti-Semitic screed.

In its May 15, 2008 edition, Moscow News published an interview in
which Ambassador Navarro Rojas said that among those involved in a
failed coup d’etat of April 11, 2002, aimed at overthrowing Hugo
Chávez, there were "many Mossad snipers, who were Venezuelan citizens
but Jews."

    Protocols of the Elders of Caracas?

Ah....an open thread where I can put up my legs...

Yay I managed to stay conscious till the morning thread

I'm not sure Mikey 'Are You Gonna Eat That' Moore covered this procedure on the Island Prison Socialist paradise known as Cuba.

Then again, if he underwent the procedure himself, he'd show up as Mikey Moore and leave as Rosie O'Donnel.

re: #4 Neo Con since 9-11

Yay I managed to stay conscious till the morning thread

And I finally managed to register on LGF by staying up to an unObamaly hour. *waves to all Lizards*

Dear heavens you do! I don't think I've ever seen such a thing.

BTW, I read somewhere a couple of days ago that studies show that those who are strict observers of the islamic prayer schedule manage just 27 productive minutes per day. All of the rest is taken up going to , coming from, preparing for or praying. No wonder their countries are all third world holes.

Registration was open all night at least once that I can remember. But if it just opened up Charles must have it on some kind of auto-start. Like this thread. Maybe WITH this thread...?

Auto start would solve a whole lot of problems for Charles and free him up in a big way. Nothing worse about owning a busy website than being chained to the machine playing boss.

re: #56 MandyManners

Here is Saint Patrick's morning prayer for you:

Saint Patrick’s Breastplate:

I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through the belief in the threeness,
Through confession of the oneness
Of the Creator of Creation.

I arise today
Through the strength of Christ's birth with his baptism,
Through the strength of his crucifixion with his burial,
Through the strength of his resurrection with his ascension,
Through the strength of his descent for the judgment of Doom.

I arise today
Through the strength of the love of Cherubim,
In obedience of angels,
In the service of archangels,
In hope of resurrection to meet with reward,
In prayers of patriarchs,
In predictions of prophets,
In preaching of apostles,
In faith of confessors,
In innocence of holy virgins,
In deeds of righteous men.

I arise today
Through the strength of heaven:
Light of sun,
Radiance of moon,
Splendor of fire,
Speed of lightning,
Swiftness of wind,
Depth of sea,
Stability of earth,
Firmness of rock.

I arise today
Through God's strength to pilot me:
God's might to uphold me,
God's wisdom to guide me,
God's eye to look before me,
God's ear to hear me,
God's word to speak for me,
God's hand to guard me,
God's way to lie before me,
God's shield to protect me,
God's host to save me
From snares of devils,
From temptations of vices,
From everyone who shall wish me ill,
Afar and anear,
Alone and in multitude.

I summon today all these powers between me and those evils,
Against every cruel merciless power that may oppose my body and soul,
Against incantations of false prophets,
Against black laws of pagandom
Against false laws of heretics,
Against craft of idolatry,
Against spells of witches and smiths and wizards,
Against every knowledge that corrupts man's body and soul.
Christ to shield me today
Against poison, against burning,
Against drowning, against wounding,
So that there may come to me abundance of reward.

Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me,
Christ in me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ on my right, Christ on my left,
Christ when I lie down, Christ when I sit down, Christ when I arise,
Christ in the heart of every man who thinks of me,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of me,
Christ in every eye that sees me,
Christ in every ear that hears me.

I arise today
Through a mighty strength, the invocation of the Trinity,
Through belief in the threeness,
Through confession of the oneness,
Of the Creator of Creation.

re: #58 galloping granny

I don't think I appreciated sleep before I had The Kid.

Dos anyone here have enough confidence in the American electorate to believe that we can sqash Obama like the bug he is?

re: #62 tappin52

I'm starting to have nightmares, since you ask. :-(

wow. I am travelling and typing this on my I-phone so I don't know how to link to the fantastic article I just read over at AmericanThinker. Maybe some of you have read it? Its about Obama and his black liberation theology dated June 5. I HIGHLY recommend it. It spells out all to clearly the utter shit that Obama believes. He expressed his beliefs to anyone who will listen, but in such a subtle and nuanced way that only those who know the background info will get what he is really saying.

re: #60 Ojoe

Why, thank you, Ojoe! That's very sweet.

Did I kill the thread?.................sorry

re: #62 tappin52

Yes. Even Democrats were not voting for him as much lately in the primaries.

Richard N. Weltz

Once again, Barack Obama has demonstrated serious gaps in actual knowledge of the subjects on which he so charmingly pontificates.

The Democratic candidate, who prior to the past years or so, seems never to have had a problem with friends who didn't like Israel, stood up before a meeting of the America-Israel Public Action Committee (AIPAC) yesterday in Washington, DC, and spoke every pro-Israel platitude he judged that the crowd wanted to hear.

re: #61 MandyManners

I don't think I appreciated sleep before I had The Kid.

I understand that. I appreciate sleep again, but unfortunately I am now much too old to lie down for more than 5 or 6 hours at a shot at the very best. Habit of a lifetime I guess.

What I have found amazing in this election, is the total abandoment of the Clinton's by the MSM. A year ago, Hillary could no wrong, as far as the media was concerned. Six months ago, the journalists decided to change candidates and now Hillary can do no right. With friends like this, who needs enemies!

re: #62 tappin52

The only thing that gives me some confidence is this. For the first time in living memory every single member of my family (including those who married in), without any discussion, has independently concluded that they will not vote for Obama under any circumstances. Or throw their vote out the window on a third party candidate. Or stay home.

/This never, never happens in my family.

Good morning lizards, 64 degress and foggy here along the Lake Michigan shoreline... I'm listening to the wail of the foghorn as I enjoy my first cup of coffee. If the fog burns off before 10, I'll probably take the dog down to the lighthouse for a walk.

We've had a lot of rain here over the last couple of days and everything feels damp. It's a bad time for my basement dehumidifier to be pooping out, so first order of business this morning (after the DDT) is to open it up and try to fix it. I know nothing about small appliance repair, but it never hurts to open it up and take a peek in case its' something obvious.

Had a call from my Marine last night... it was very good to hear his voice. He's going to be home for a visit on the 22nd, and will probably stay through to July 7th.

I see that the US is finally sticking it to the UN.... good on us. If only we could find the balls to go all the way, and pull out completely.

re: #73 galloping granny

HA. I went to a bat mitzvah a couple of weeks ago loaded for bear. I didn't get the chance to fight with anyone because they're all voting McCain.

re: #77 Dar ul Harb

Good quote from B16 in the article:

Just one nugget from the Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, "Instruction on Certain Aspects of the ‘Theology of Liberation':

"...it would be illusory and dangerous to ignore the intimate bond which radically unites them (liberation theologies), and to accept elements of the marxist analysis without recognizing its connections with the (Marxist) ideology, or to enter into the practice of the class-struggle and of its marxist interpretation while failing to see the kind of totalitarian society to which this process slowly leads."

Hello Rose, glad to hear your Marine is doing well and will be home soon! The US pulling out of the UN Human rights committee is a step in the right direction. I like McCain's idea of starting a league of Democracies. It will be interesting to see who ponies up the cash for the UN when the US pulls out. Let's see, Saudi Arabia, China or Russia? My bet is the Suads will come up with the cash, China and Russia are to damn cheap......If they don't the UN will fall apart....

re: #88 tappin52

Mazel tov! :-)

Big pull quote from the article:

Obama was raised by his mother, the agnostic anthropologist, to regard religion as "an expression of human culture...not its wellspring, just one of the many ways -- and not necessarily the best way -- that man attempted to control the unknowable and understand the deeper truths about our lives." (Audacity of Hope; p. 204)

However, when Barack Obama met Jeremiah Wright in the mid-eighties, between his years at Columbia and Harvard Law, he found a "faith" perfectly accommodating to his already well-formed worldview.

From The Audacity of Hope:

"In the history of these (African people's) struggles, I was able to see faith as more than just a comfort to the weary or a hedge against death; rather, it was an active, palpable agent in the world." (p. 207)

As Obama explains further, it was Wright's (and presumably Cone's, as required of new members at Trinity) peculiar form of Christianity that Obama found palatable:

"It was because of these newfound understandings (at Trinity under Wright) -- that religious commitment did not require me to suspend critical thinking, disengage from the battle for economic and social justice...that I was finally able to walk down the aisle of Trinity...and be baptized."

Wright's vision of Christianity was perfectly appetizing to Barack Obama; he didn't need to change a thing.

Well, that's just sad. It's not the Barack Obama that I know... ;)

If the US pulls out of the UN, where will the UN headquarters move to?

Wow! This is a very early thread. Did Charles get up to go bicycling, or did he have someone throwing up (loudly) in the alley outside his bedroom window, like I did, for what seemed like ALL NIGHT, keeping him awake?

Good morning, Lizards.

I have come to the conclusion (based upon current electoral maps) that this election is going to come down to Pennsylvania. And if it comes to Pennsylvania, it invariably depends upon the 4 suburban counties bordering Philadelphia. Hillary did fairly well here.

I wouldn't. That would really muddle the waters and might very well result in an Obama win.

My impression is that the media is "creating" Obama. Although there are many things I don't like about McCain, I will support him because he is clearly the better choice for Commander-in-Chief.

I also think that McCain's POW experience taught him patience and timing. I think he's going to wait until September before he turns the simmer to a boil.

Another good pull quote, this one from Part 2:

After 20 years, Obama has resigned his membership at Trinity United Church of Christ. He did so after Rev. Michael Pfleger's rants against Hillary Clinton's white privilege made such a splash on the internet and television news.

But Obama's attempts to distance himself now from Trinity, Wright, Pfleger, Farrakhan and Cone mean nothing to me. He can, in my mind, no more disown them now, than he could months ago.

The Black Liberation Theology of TUCC that he chose as an adult is the only religious foundation, save the Islam he learned as a young child in an Indonesian school, that Barack Obama has ever had in his life.

Discovering Black Liberation Theology in Wright's church was the one thing that enabled Obama to see that those believing in a far left political ideology could also have religion. Obama's mother had taught him this wasn't the case.

Wright showed him another way, a Third Way.
