MY SAY: ENOUGH WITH THE BAD NEWS…HERE IS WORSE NEWS

I write this as a proud and patriotic American, a Jew, and a staunch Zionist and supporter of Israel. I have not time or desire to scold the Jews who voted for Obama. I am in too much despair at the calamity that has befallen Jews throughout the world as violent anti-Semitism is not viewed as a “hate crime” but rather as a trendy lefty fad.

And here, in my America, I can no longer feel sanguine that Congress will support Israel. In fact, some of our best supporters lost and the best candidates were trounced. They were targeted by J Street…here is their gloating letter:

“You should feel GREAT today!

All 49 JStreetPAC-endorsed incumbents in the House – elected.

All 7 JStreetPAC-endorsed Senate candidates – elected.

JStreetPAC’s challengers and candidates for open seats – elected in 13 out of 15 races (Ami Bera hanging on to a razor thin lead in his race for a Congressional seat in Sacramento would make it 14 of 15.)

You helped raise and contribute over $1.8 million to these 71 pro-Israel, pro-peace candidates for Congress, and, thanks to you the 113th Congress will have 50 percent more JStreetPAC-endorsed members than are in Congress today. Not only did you help elect champions like Tammy Baldwin, Martin Heinrich and Tim Kaine to the Senate, you defeated some of the most outrageous voices on our issue. Come January the House of Representatives will no longer have One-State Caucus members like Joe Walsh, Allen West, Bobby Schilling, Frank Guinta, or Ann Marie Buerkle.

This is an incredible victory – one that is part of transforming the political atmosphere around Israel in the U.S. that has blocked meaningful American efforts to achieve a two-state solution for decades.

Our work doesn’t end here, of course. We have to spread the word about the incredible success of pro-Israel, pro-peace politics so that more candidates and more public officials in the future will start to speak out in pro-Israel, pro-peace way.”

This is ominous news. There is an old joke about leaders of the three faiths….Jewish, Christian, and Moslem being engulfed by a flood and their last words:

The Imam prays he gets the reward of the virgins.

The Christian prays for salvation of his soul and the world.

The Jew prays that Jews fill find a way to surviv and thrive under water.

Dear e-pals: We are under water.Our life vests are the conservatives, Evangelicals, all Christian supporters of Israel, and each other.

LET’S ROLL!!!!

HIS SAY: YALE KRAMER ON THE ELECTION

YALE KRAMER IS A PROMINENT PSYCHIATRIST AND WRITER IN NEW YORK….HERE IS HIS TAKE WITH WHICH I AM IN TOTAL AGREEMENT

I cannot say that I am not bitterly disappointed about Romney’s loss. I do not blame him–I think he ran an energetic and honorable campaign and gave it his all. His campaign may have made some minor mistakes, but I think that he lost the election because of the bias of the press which resulted in their protecting Obama from any serious criticism.

But he also lost because of several components of his and his party’s platform which I’ll get to in a moment. What is most important in our world view is freedom which means less government and all that that implies (taxes, regulations, etc.)and a strong and vibrant competitive economic system. That is essentially it. The rest is trivial.

It is clear that Romney could have won the election if he had the latino vote and the women’s vote. I think that the new GOP must acknowledge those facts of life and give up on both of those issues. Women’s waist-down issues should not be political matters no matter what religious people would like. They are and should be individual matters. Get rid of it as a political issue.

Whatever GOP is left after this defeat must also revise their views on illegal immigration and make it more possible for the latino to feel included by creating several different routes to citizenship and naturalization. This doesn’t have to lead to abusive entitlements–some compromise can be worked out which involves service for young people and citizenship programs for older people.

Also even though Romney did not win the popular vote I also think that the electoral system is totally antiquated, outmoded, and has no relationship today to what the founding fathers had in mind and that the new GOP should work toward getting rid of it and fostering some popular voting system that would foster the feeling in voters that their vote was important and not just the voters in 8 or 9 so called battleground states.

I don’t think Obama has a mandate to work his evil plans and the congressional GOP should resist him quietly as much as possible all the time sharpening their knives and planning for 2014 and 2016 to accomplish those important values mentioned above. Although I might not be around to see it happen.

AWR HAWKINS: THE ELECTION IS PAST AND THE BENGHAZI INVESTIGATION MUST CONTINUE

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Peace/2012/11/07/The-Election-Is-Over-Investigate-Benghazi-Now Now that the election is behind us, it’s time for a serious investigation into what did and didn’t take place in Benghazi: an investigation that seeks clear, on-the-record answers to some very important questions. Questions like: 1. What did Obama know and do (and not do), and when did he know? 2. When did […]

The Hollow Force, Version 2012 by PETER FARMER

http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/the-hollow-force-version-2012?f=puball In the post-Vietnam era of the late 1970s, a weakened and demoralized United States military was sometimes referred to as a “hollow force.” Already on the defensive because of the debacle in Vietnam and deep cuts in military spending in the face of Soviet aggression in Afghanistan, the humiliation of the Carter-era military was […]

CLIFF KINCAID: THE INFILTRATION OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT

http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/the-infiltration-of-the-us-government?f=puball At the recent “Pumpkin Papers Irregulars” dinner in Washington, D.C., author and commentator M. Stanton Evans joked about his “Law of Inadequate Paranoia,” which says, “No matter how bad you think something is, when you look into it, it is always worse.” The comment generated nervous laughter among a crowd of people concerned about […]

Friendship? Hardly: Rabin, Arafat & the Oslo Accords by DARLENE CASELLA

http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/friendship-hardly-rabin-arafat-the-oslo-accords?f=puball Chief Rabbi of Israel Eli Ben-Dahan, a candidate for the Knesset, believes it is time to officially put an end to the Oslo process. The Hamas terrorist organization, in violation of the Oslo Accords, does not recognize the State of Israel, and uses violence against it. Meanwhile tax money transfers from Israel to the […]

OBAMA’S FIRST POLITICAL PRISONER STARTS A ONE YEAR SENTENCE: DANIEL GREENFIELD

COULDN’T HAPPEN HERE: IT JUST DID!!!!

http://frontpagemag.com/2012/dgreenfield/obamas-first-political-prisoner-begins-one-year-prison-sentence/

“When fascism comes to America, it will come wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross,” Sinclair Lewis wrote in, “It Can’t Happen Here.” But as it turns out, fascism came to America wearing an Obama 2012 photo, filtered through Instagram, and carrying a Koran.

Charles Woods, the father of the murdered SEAL left to die by Obama in Benghazi, reported that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told him, that they were going to “arrest and prosecute” the man behind the Mohammed movie.
Mission accomplished.

Mark Basseley Youssef may be a scoundrel and a liar. His movie may be hideous and false. He may have violated his probation. But there are probation violators all over the country today, roaming free after getting a slap on the wrist for their probation violation. The probation violation is a pretext. Youssef’s imprisonment is for violating Sharia blasphemy laws. Obama is trying to appease the Muslims who rioted and killed over the video, and to do what he can against the freedom of speech now, until such time as he can get “hate speech” laws in place that will enable him to finish the job.

Youssef had one of the top Federal prosecutors in California sicced on him and the same media maggots who threw a hysterical fit when Ari Fleischer merely told Bill Maher to shut up, have nothing to say. Oh pardon me, they do have something to say. They assure us that this political prosecution has nothing to do with the movie.

None of the violations had to do with the content of “Innocence of Muslims,” a film that depicts Mohammad as a religious fraud, pedophile and womanizer.

That’s according to the AP. But according to the Prosecutor actually handling the case… .

P. DAVID HORNIK: ISRAEL AND US ON A COLLISION COURSE?

http://frontpagemag.com/2012/davidhornik/israel-and-u-s-on-a-collision-course/ Some 57 percent of Israeli Jews preferred Romney, only 22% Obama (in my sector of American Israelis it was even more lopsided, a full 85% having cast absentee ballots for the challenger, only 14% for the incumbent). So, naturally, for the most part, November 7, 2012 was not a day of celebration in Israel. […]

NOW WHAT ON IMMIGRATION: MARK KRIKORIAN

http://www.nationalreview.com/blogs/print/332983 Blaming Tuesday’s defeat solely on Mitt Romney would be a mistake. It’s true that he wasn’t a perfect candidate, but there’s no such thing as a perfect candidate. It’s true, too, that he’s proven flexible as to his policy positions; but the (Groucho) Marxian line that “if you don’t like my principles, I have […]
