Its true Voltaire was a proponent of free thought and probably hated religion (even an atheist?). But he was especially vile toward those that practised religion. In his "Dictionnaire Philosophique Portatif" (1764), he made unfavorable remarks about the Jews. He charged them with greed and selfishness, saying that their only ideals are children and money. Why should this bigot be quoted on LGF?

Ramon Defends Plan to Split Jerusalem, Party Colleagues Say 'No'

sraelNN.com) Vice Premier Chaim Ramon, Israel’s chief negotiator with the Palestinian Authority spoke out Thursday night in defense of his plan to relinquish large parts of the capital to the Arabs.

By Friday morning he was qualifying his statement, claiming that Israel will not agree to divide Jerusalem before the PA proves that it can control terror and guarantee security.

In an interview broadcast on Voice of Israel government radio, Ramon insisted, “there could be no better partner for peace than PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas.” He added immediately, however, that Abbas’s ability to live up to his commitments is “problematic.”

Rafael Medoff: Columbia “Invites Hitler to Campus” --As it Did in 1933

Columbia University has invited a representative of the world’s most antisemitic regime to speak on its campus. This week’s news? Try 1933.

Seventy years before this week’s invitation to Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Columbia rolled out the red carpet for a senior official of Adolf Hitler’s regime. The invitation to Iran’s leader may seem less surprising, but no less disturbing, when one recalls that in 1933, Columbia president Nicholas Murray Butler invited Nazi Germany’s ambassador to the United States, Hans Luther, to speak on campus, and also hosted a reception for him. Luther represented "the government of a friendly people," Butler insisted. He was "entitled to be received ... with the greatest courtesy and respect." Ambassador Luther's speech focused on what he characterized as Hitler's peaceful intentions. Students who criticized the Luther invitation were derided as “ill-mannered children” by the director of Columbia’s Institute of Arts and Sciences.

Columbia also insisted on maintaining friendly relations with Nazi-controlled German universities. While Williams College terminated its program of student exchanges with Nazi Germany, Columbia and other universities declined to do likewise. Columbia refused to pull out even after a German official candidly asserted that his country’s students were being sent abroad to serve as “political soldiers of the Reich.”

In 1936, the Columbia administration announced it would send a delegate to Nazi Germany to take part in the 550th anniversary celebration of the University of Heidelberg. This, despite the fact that Heidelberg already had been purged of Jewish faculty members, instituted a Nazi curriculum, and hosted a burning of books by Jewish authors. Prof. Arthur Remy, who served as Columbia’s delegate to the Heidelberg event, later remarked that the reception at which chief book-burner Josef Goebbels presided was “very enjoyable.”

agreed...GB should find something clever to say to put some trump on this visit...not like him tho

When someone overtly threatens to take your life the time for the 'Moral High Road' is over, I really need someone in a leadership position to show some real leadership, anything short of arrest will not placate me. I am sick of empty rhetoric. Iran should be in embers and Dinnerjacket in Gitmo.

I question his legal right to be here at all...nobody really has convinced me one way or the other...if he can and it appears so at least GB could come out and identify with the rest of us unwashed...if he thinks it's despicable I'd like to hear him say so...

The left thought process is that if people commit atrocities such as suicide attacks it means that the targets, Israel and the U.S., have done things so thoroughly evil that we have pushed the oppressed to the breaking point. The U.S. and Israel can never be victims because our foreign policy is imperialist/colonialist. When the next attack happens here the left will for sure blame the U.S. They were confused for a while after 9/11 but now they've got it all figured out.

Because the UN is in New York, we have to let him go there and spew his insanity. I've got mixed emotions about that. Part of me says we should move to put the UN in Tehran.

The reset of the bookings that his press agent managed border somewhere between ridiculous and treacherous. The Colombia U appearance is a lost cause. His other two stunts, however, may backfire and turn into moments of pride. I have faith that the New Yorkers will react appropriately to his appearance at GZ. I also have faith that the press club (being trained reporters) are not going to lob softballs in their questions...maybe I'm naive on that one, but we have to give them a chance...it's the only possible explanation for that invite.

The theologies of those ideologies is atheism.

I don't agree. Most atheists in this country or around the global do not advocate violence in order to spread their ideology. Nazism/Marxism/Communism not only advocate violence, but demand it as a way to spread the ideology. Practically speaking then, atheism, is not the same. Furthermore, Nazis held occult beliefs.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's forthcoming visit to the US this coming Monday, September 24. It is shocking to think that he will not only be addressing the United Nations in New York but he will also be speaking at Columbia University, spewing his hatred of America, Israel and Jews.

Since he will be allowed to make his voice heard, our voices must be louder.

RALLY RALLY RALLY
Multiple organizations are mobilizing two different rallies to challenge this insanity. One at Columbia University: W 116th street and Broadway (across from Lerner Hall) Monday, September 24th 1 - 3 p.m. Busses will be coming from Brooklyn College, Queens College, Rutgers University and more.

The Second Rally will take place at NOON at 2nd Ave. and 47th street, Subways 4, 5, 6 or 7 to grand central station... TWELVE NOON-- rain or shine.

BUT IMPORTANT:
We are aware that the Columbia event MAY GET CANCELED but as of now, Friday afternoon in New York, it is still scheduled to happen. STAY TUNED to the home page at [Link: www.standwithus.com,...] and we will give you an update if it is canceled. AND...IF IT GETS CANCELED we need you to go to the United Nations location for the rally organized by the Conference of Presidents and supported by multiple organizations including StandWithUs... and will be held at 2nd Ave. and 47th street, Subways 4, 5, 6 or 7 to grand central station... TWELVE NOON-- rain or shine.

BUSSING:
Busses will leave Rutgers at 11:00 Busses will leave Queens and Brooklyn Colleges 11:30 Exact pick up points to be announced on Sunday, check back with StandWithUs.com home page for updates before Monday.

Teacher's Car Bomb: Two Men Sought

Police hunting those responsible for a home-made 'firework bomb' which blew up a teacher's car are seeking two men.
Merseyside Police want to question a pair seen near the school at the time of the explosion.

The school has been sealed offNo-one was injured when the device went off at Runnymede St Edward's, a Catholic primary school in the West Derby area.

Officers have indicated the explosive was an improvised firework device with nails attached.

One of the men they want to question is white, stocky, aged between 40-50 years-old. He is 5ft 9in-5ft 10in tall, and possibly had light coloured or ginger hair.

They have no description of the second man.

Superintendent Ian Pilling, who called the crime "despicable", that a teacher's silver car was "extensively damaged".

Mr Pilling said the car was only 30ft from the school buildings when the device exploded at 2.50pm.

Man who posed as military hero sentenced to 5 months in prison

A Tacoma man who falsely claimed he was a decorated war hero when he took the stage at demonstrations held in opposition to the U.S.'s role in Iraq was sentenced this morning to five months in prison in U.S. District Court in Seattle.

Jesse MacBeth, 23, was also sentenced to three months in a halfway house after his release and three years of probation.

MacBeth claimed that he was an Army ranger who killed more than 200 people, many at close range, including some as they prayed in a mosque. He spoke at an anti-war rally in Tacoma and appeared in a 20-minute anti-war video that circulated widely on the Internet.

In reality, MacBeth made it through only six weeks of Army basic training and never set foot in Iraq.

Conservative bloggers exposed MacBeth in May 2006, destroying his credibility and embarrassing the Seattle company that produced the video about his exploits.

On June 7, MacBeth pleaded guilty to one count of making false statements to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. MacBeth admitted that he filed a bogus claim for VA benefits in 2005, which included a fraudulent military-discharge form.

We just now spoke briefly and he really needs our prayers and well wishes. He has been very ill with liver failure and pneumonia. Was in the hospital for nine days. So, lizard army, you know what to do. Thanks.

Are you referring to the 16 miles from the AP to the UN?


LOL! No, its the mileage from JFK to the UN

OK. (BTW AP meant airport.) As much as I wich we could, I think that journey is protected by the UN charter. The journey from the UN to GZ, the press club or to CU, however, is not protected by anyone. The prez, I think, could say no. If he decides to allow the junkets, my only point is that 2 of the 3 have a chance to backfire on him.

I've got to get this one out. PETA would have a fit.

During lightning season last year, we lost power to our building - figured it was a strike at the pole, but none of the hits seemed close. A definite loud pop preceded machines shutting down, and UPS's kicking in.

We walked outside to discover several people already looking up at the pole where our service enters the building. Wobbling very badly down the pole is a squirrel who looked like one of those hairbrushes with the little round tips on the end of the bristles. When he got to the pavement and we could get close enough to check him out, his jaw was pretty slack. Turns out he chewed through a cable and shocked himself something fierce.

Don't know what happened to him, because he wandered off, pretty much hairless and sans his bushy tail. We named him Mr. Sparky.

I have heard enough things he has said to believe he has been in the beltway to long and likes being the politician to much.

He gave Hilary advice back in 94 to not write an entire healthcare program bill, but to cut it up in palatable parts and get one thing passed at a time and get things moving in the direction she wanted.
I was sitting there thinking WTF?
He was on Rush today saying this.
That is just one example.

re: #126 Born Again Republican

Nope. I can see it happening. It's easier than anyone thinks. She is a consummate wonk; she'll be like her hubby and lead by focus group. I honestly don't know what she really believes, other than she has the 60's socialist mentality that big government can solve society's ills. That, or all she wants is power.

But, she will get the nomination. Obama is a lightweight. Richardson has little name recognition. Edwards is worse than Hillary in terms of being a wonk. However, she is different in that she has positioned herself well on the war in Iraq; she voted for it and has, to a degree, the "we broke it, we bought it mentality". That will put her in good stead with moderate Democrats.

The GOP field is not that impressive. Thompson might have a chance but he is so late out of the gate, and he has made a few mis-steps that do not give me a lot of hope. Also, history says that senators do not good presidents make. The only GOP candidates (who have a chance) with any executive experience are Romney and Rudy. I think, right now, Romney has the best chance of getting the nomination. Thompson and Rudy's cancers will be an issue. I don't think Romney will be able to beat Hillary - not with the machine behind her.

But, I can easily see a repeat of the 1994 mid-term elections in 2010. And, if the GOP picks a better candidate in 2012 (it was Bob Dole's "turn" in 1996) then she will be a one-term president- which would make a nice book-end for history; one-term Bush, two-term Clinton, two-term Bush, one-term Clinton.

Now, the variable here will be a third-party candidate. Will it be a Perot or a Nader? It's going to be a bumpy ride for the next six to twelve months.

I have heard enough things he has said to believe he has been in the beltway too long and likes being the politician too much.

Who else could endure that battlezone? I'm afraid that it takes someone who's that adept at dealing with the brutal alternate-reality that is Washington. A regular guy would get ripped to shreds. That's the problem with GWB -- he's too normal and decent, and doesn't seem to know what to do with the barrage of insanity shooting at him every day.

He gave Hilary advice back in 94 to not write an entire healthcare program bill, but to cut it up in palatable parts and get one thing passed at a time and get things moving in the direction she wanted.

I find it difficult to accept that there wasn't more to it, especially saying it today, and to Rush.

As for the 90s, I'm not thinking about that, and actually didn't think he was all that great back then. But I think that he has learned and grown from that, and he's the right man for these wild and rough political times. But I'll stay open to it. Does Rush offer any repeats of his shows on the internet?

According to Wikipedia (for right or wrong) there's a lot of evidence that he cared deeply about God and faith -- his big problem/complaints/criticisms were for organized religion, which he apparently criticized very hard, and that led to the presumption that he was anti-faith.

I stare out into the darkness from my post, and I watch the city burn to the ground. I smell the familiar smells, I walk through the familiar rubble, and I look at the frightened faces that watch me pass down the streets of their neighborhoods. My nerves hardly rest; my hands are steady on a device that has been given to me from my government for the purpose of taking the lives of others.

I sweat, and I am tired. My back aches from the loads I carry. Young American boys look to me to direct them in a manner that will someday allow them to see their families again...and yet, I too, am just a boy...my age not but a few years more than that of the ones I lead. I am stressed, I am scared, and I am paranoid...because death is everywhere. It waits for me, it calls to me from around street corners and windows, and it is always there.

There are the demons that follow me, and tempt me into thoughts and actions that are not my own...but that are necessary for survival. I've made compromises with my humanity. And I am not alone in this. Miles from me are my brethren in this world, who walk in the same streets...who feel the same things, whether they admit to it or not.

And to think, I volunteered for this...

And I am ignorant to the rest of the world...or so I thought.

But even thousands of miles away, in Ramadi, Iraq, the cries and screams and complaints of the ungrateful reach me. In a year, I will be thrust back into society from a life and mentality that doesn't fit your average man. And then, I will be alone. And then, I will walk down the streets of America, and see the yellow ribbon stickers on the cars of the same people who compare our President to Hitler.

I did find this on Newt's website, a transcript of a visit to Hannity and Colms, where they were talking about "healthcare", including Hillarycare. Most of it's pretty abstract and unspecific, but the section below shows Newt to be pretty seriously opposed to government-controlled healthcare:

[Link: www.newt.org...]

GINGRICH: Sure. And I think part of the political strategy is to emphasize: You should have the right to know price and quality before you decide. That's a 93 percent issue.

We're developing a program that Alan will love. It's called Medicruise. And it's based on the idea that you don't want to have seniors to have too many choices, so we're going to have the federal government organize federally sponsored cruises so that people over 65 are not required to make any choices. They will be equally mediocre across the system.

COLMES: And I would love this because?

GINGRICH: It's a perfect model. Teddy Kennedy and Pete Stark will want to introduce it. It's a perfect example of liberalism. Save seniors from the difficult choice of what cruise they should go on by having...

(CROSSTALK)

Hi, y'all. Just call me Dads.

With all the moonbats circling to Dan's defense and even regurgitating his bogus claims again, here's something that I never saw addressed very well in the MSM.

Regarding his Guard service, Bush was a supersonic fighter pilot chasing flight hours in a fighter plane that was being phased out of service at the time. The planes were about to be turned into drones.

He had over 300 hours in the F-102 and would have been forced to transition to another aircraft. Any further training or flight hours would have been a waste of time.

"The YF-102 entered a extensive testing program after its maiden flight on October 24, 1953...In 1973, the USAF decided to convert surplus F-102As into low-cost, supersonic target drones that could simulate the performance of enemy aircraft in aerial combat in all 213 Daggers were converted in the “Pave Duce” program. The last PQM-102 was destroyed on June 30 1986."

I took the poll and my top candidate came out as Duncan Hunter, with 77%
I chose Giuliani as my vote, and he cameout at about 71%, not too bad.

The surprise was that Fred Thompson cam out is the 50s, right by McCain.

That said, I think the America people are feeling very insecure right now.

Though I have read arguments the Fred could lock up the South, I also know that Hillary has no CHANCE in the South. Why bring coals to Newcastle.

My gut tells me that the security vote is going to win the election.

As good as Hunter looks on the issues, or even Romney, Thompson has so many issues it's not funny... and the only winning ticket I see to keep Billary out of the White House is:

(Hold your nose and pull lever)

Giuliani/McCain.

McCain, among every lib I have talked with, has cred. Giuliani has 9//1 vred and fix NYC cred.

If the election hinges on security, as I am convinced it will, the GOP has only ONE choice.

Fred will get torn apart, Giuliani won't accept VP, I think McCain would.

A broad spectrum across America would vote Giuliani/McCain. I'm making my call very early, I know, but I'm sure of it. Mark my words.

Sudden Jihad in Dearborn [9/13/07]: Pertaining to the arrest of Houssein Zorkot. LINK and COMMENT

Houssein Zorkot, with his lawyer, appeared on time, 0900, for his post arraignment Examination, in 19th Distirct Court in Dearborn Michigan. There was none of the docket juggling shenanigans usually accorded high profile cases here. Main reason: this case of a man wandering around a small family park at dusk in cammie, face paint, dark cap and carrying a locked and loaded AK-47 clone (observed by multiple witnesses and several police officers...e.g., no question about the basic facts here), who had to be Tasered by police to subdue, is being treated as "low profile" here, by the Mayor (who has designated himself the sole POC for information, police included) and the MSM and Local Media...so as not to "inflame" folks, etc., yada yada. The general tone of the city administration and the media is that this 'poor young man' is likely a disturbed student (23 year old 3rd year med student locally, with a web site praising Hezbollah and martyrdom...see Debbie Schlussel's site for details) without criminal intentions...ya' know, like at Virginia Tech. Nah, couldn't be...doesn't evrybody stroll around with loaded high capacity semi-automatic rifles in family parks at dusk?

As I stated in my comment (cited above) I live here, 4 short blocks from Hemlock Park in fact...so this is a tad personal IMO. So...I went to the pre-trial Exam Firday 9/21/07. Results of same in a nutshell...

1. Through his attorney, Zorkot waived his right to completion of the exam within 14 days required by law, so that his attorney could "investigte" further and prepare, blah, blah. The judge accepted this motion and set 11/9/07 at 0900 as the continuation date. I will be there again. If there is any chance this guy is to be released prior to trial I WANT to know about it immediately. Close to home and all that...

2. Through his attorney, Zorkot requested his bail be reduced from $1 Million Cash, to $50,000 cash or 10% surety. The judge noted that 'someone' thought the risks high, thus a million dollar bail figure, and denied this motion at this time. The judge did state he would review the bail and criteria between now and 11/9/07. The Prosecutor successfully argued that flight risk was high, he has relatives and 'contacts' in southern Lebanon, in or about Bint Jbeil, as noted in his website, and that his comments on his website the same day as his arrest implied a continuing threat to the comunity.

3. The countenance of Zorkot himself throughout the hearing was exactly like that shown in his mug shot posted her and elsewhere I believe...e.g., sour and sullen.

4. There was no apparent 'posse' of supporters present, and little press coverage save one photographer, one MS reporter, and a couple Arabic news reporters. The defense attorney stood out by dint of his crisply tailored suit, etc...not the usual for regular pre-trail types with bad hair or tupees and suits from Soviet Kremlin tailors. Somebody is spending some money. There was also a semi-crisp 'suit' sitting in the audience, next to me, that appeared interested and followed the defense attorney out after the hearing.

And that's it for now from 'Dearbornhistan' (TY to Debbie)...land of RoP Hesbollah supporting benign student loaded AK-47 carriers. Anything furher of interst, if anyone is interested, I will post again. Otherwise, it'll be after 11/9/07 Exam extension.
