This week, President Obama makes a historic trip to Israel with an entourage of 500 and an Israeli security force of 10,000.
Unless Obama has completely changed from his life-long, pro-Islam beliefs (which we know he has not), then Israel is in for diplomatic and national security trouble.
Watch this very powerful message from William “Bill” Langfan a 91 year-old Jewish American patriot who fought against Hitler in WWII and helped liberate Buchenwald Nazi death camp.
After watching this video ask yourself who makes more sense… President Obama or Bill Langfan?

A Soldier’s Warning: Obama’s Latter-Day “Munich” Puts Israel in the Crosshairs
This fall will mark the anniversary of a shameful betrayal of a small nation, one that led to a world war in which upwards of 60 million people died. September 30, 2013 will be 75 years to the day when British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and French Prime Minister Edouard Daladier cemented their agreement with Hitler to force democratic Czechoslovakia to relinquish the Sudetenland, an ethnically German region, to the Nazis.
As you’ll see in this interview, William Langfan, a World War II veteran who witnessed the catastrophic consequences of Chamberlain’s appeasement of Hitler, warns that President Obama – together with Great Britain, France and others in the European Union – is about to do the same thing to Israel.
Obama is scheduled to travel to Israel next month. He is expected to hold talks with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and visit Yad Vashem and Mount Herzl cemetery, and possibly to visit Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank.
Now that he’s been re-elected and no longer has to worry about alienating American Jewish voters, Obama feels free to take a hard line in demanding Israeli concessions for “peace,” says Langfan, who earlier this month (March 4) turned 91.
Langfan says he “absolutely” believes that Obama’s approach toward Israel is analogous to the Franco/British handling of Czechoslovakia in 1938. He said that in both cases, more powerful democratic nations have sought to force smaller, embattled ones to “weaken” themselves by making dangerous concessions to hostile dictatorial enemies, be they Hitleror the Palestinian Authority.
A tireless researcher and writeron current Israeli security affairs, Langfan remembers following the 1938 Czechoslovakia crisis in the newspapers as a teenager growing up in New York. He joined the U.S. Army and from 1943-45 saw duty in England, Belgium, Germany and France, where he participated in the Battle of the Bulge.
In April 1945, his unit arrived at Buchenwald concentration camp a day after American forces liberated it, giving Langfan, 23, a chance to see firsthand the results of futile efforts to appease a rapacious enemy. He spoke to numerous Holocaust survivors at the camp, where more than 50,000 people had been slaughtered. They told horrific tales of people being starved and gassed.
“It was terrible. I saw the bodies on the carts,” Langfan says. Mail prisoners at the camp were “skinny as an arm.”

It was the first part of modern Europe to be invaded and colonized by Muslims, while its native Christian population was ethnically cleansed.

Spring is about to begin and my book, Spring Fever: The Illusion of Islamic Democracy, has just been published in paperback — originally, it was available only as an eBook. To mark these occasions, and more importantly, to elaborate on why the “Arab Spring” is really the ascendancy of Islamic supremacism (as Spring Fever foretold and as each day’s news confirms), Ordered Liberty will be running some excerpts in the coming days. Here is the first:
“Thank God almighty, I am a servant of sharia.” It was 1994, and Recep Tayyip Erdogan was proud to proclaim his Islamist roots in his native Istanbul, where he served as the mayor – or, as he customarily described himself, the city’s “imam.”
Erdogan’s star was rising in Turkey’s political firmament, thanks to his mentor, Necmettin Erbakan, trailblazer of the country’s modern Islamist politics. In fact, it was as president of the Istanbul Youth Movement, the shock troops of Erbakan’s “National Salvation” party, that Erdogan first made his mark. The main vehicle for his renown was a 1974 theatrical production called Maskomya. It was both virulently anti-Semitic and, this being Turkey, sadly popular. The prodigy, then twenty years old, not only wrote and directed the play but performed the lead role, as well. As Andrew Bostom recounts, “Mas-Kom-Ya was a compound acronym for ‘Masons-Communists-Yahudi’ – the latter meaning ‘Jews.’” In Erdogan’s telling, the common denominator of these evil, conspiratorial groups was Judaism.
Where Islam Meets the West
Turkey is a plenary Muslim country of 74 million. Yet, it does not have a plenary Islamic history. It lies on the fault line between East and West. With a rich, unique history, and one foot planted in Europe, the Turks are not an easy fit in the global ummah that Erdogan, now in his third term as Turkey’s prime minister, is undertaking to lead. Indeed, the relative success of Turkish society and its growing stature among Muslims, though publicly celebrated by Arabs, is, privately, a bitter pill for them. Historically, Saudis, Egyptians and other Arabs, Islam’s primus inter pares and notoriously arrogant about their Muslim authenticity, have been wont to look down their noses at the Turks.
The Ottoman legacy to which modern Turkey is heir was, by the empire’s demise in World War I, substantially Eurocentric and largely detached from the everyday affairs of the Arab Middle East. Yes, the population has always featured a strong Islamist plurality, traditionally concentrated in the rural areas. Most urban centers, however, have been secular, Euro-minded strongholds – including much of Eastern Thrace, where the Western half of Istanbul is located. And then there are Turkey’s ethnic minorities, most notably the contentious, largely unassimilated Kurds.
This is not to say that Arab countries are strangers to ethnic and sectarian diversity. As we’ve seen, they feature varying Islamic sects and non-Muslim minorities. They tend, though, to be much more attitudinally homogenous, especially in their animus toward the West. Kemalist Turkey, by contrast, saw itself as part of Europe and its future inclined toward the West. The majority of Kemalists continued to identify themselves as Muslims, but Kemalist cultural secularism bred an indifference to Islamic doctrine’s supremacist injunctions and an outright hostility to its sharia framework for society. We should pause, then, to consider how remarkable is the advance of Islamic supremacism in Turkey under Erdogan’s cunning stewardship. Comparatively speaking, the Islamist march through the Middle East is sure to be much smoother.

“Senator Paul amassed a lot of political capital with his filibuster, even among people who don’t fully agree with him on the drone issue, or foreign policy in general. But I’m afraid he’s just dissipated a lot of that good will with this embarrassing, amateurish foray into a policy area he knows nothing about.”
Rand Paul’s amnesty speech before the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce was a pastiche of establishment cliches. Permit me to select some and respond:
Growing up in Texas I never met a Latino who wasn’t working.
While this kind of flattery is expected when politicians pander to any kind of group, in this case it’s not true. The latest data show that 65.4 percent of U.S.-born Hispanics over age 16 have a job, and 68.4 percent of Hispanic immigrants (legal and illegal) do, compared with 69.3 percent for the country as a whole. That’s not a difference worth getting excited about one way or the other, but it does show that Hispanics are regular people, not toiling supermen.
Republicans have been losing both the respect and votes of a group of people who already identify with our belief in family, faith, and conservative values. Hispanics should be a natural and sizable part of the Republican base.
Oy vey. Hispanics are more negative about capitalism, and more positive about socialism, than even supporters of Occupy Wall Street. By almost four-to-one, Hispanics prefer bigger government over smaller government. Sixty-two percent of Hispanics support Obamacare. The majority support gay marriage. Among the U.S.-born (who make up the large majority of Hispanic voters), 40 percent use welfare and 45 percent have no federal income-tax liability. Outreach is important, but can we finally retire the notion that there’s a conservative Republican inside every Hispanic voter just waiting to come out if only the GOP backs amnesty?
About his ancestors, Senator Paul said:
In their home and their church they spoke German. Republicans who criticize the use of two languages make a great mistake.
The problem is not use of two languages. It’s the official use of two languages, and the utter lack of diversity in the immigration flow, creating the unprecedented situation where a majority of immigrants speak a single language, increasingly making Spanish a co-official language with English. That way lies Quebec, or worse.
http://www.nationalreview.com/blogs/print/343242 Last Friday’s headlines focused on President Obama’s address at Argonne National Laboratory, where he proposed to spend $2 billion on an energy-security trust fund for renewable fuel research. Obama boldly pledged “to shift our cars entirely . . . off oil.” How exactly is he planning to do that? Research will have an effect […]
http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2013/03/its_interesting_what_survives_sequestration.html
Isn’t it interesting what has survived the budget cuts of sequestration? Here are but two (of many) programs that have survived: food stamps and foreign education. While two does not make a pattern, one has to wonder what the objectives are here. Could the objectives be “vote-buying” and “Muslim influence”? Judge for yourself.
First, there is the fact that food stamps for illegal immigrants from Mexico are still plentiful; they have not been cut. It appears that Dear Leader Barack Hussein Obama “… continues to pursue a ‘partnership’ with the Mexican government to ‘raise awareness’ about food stamps among immigrants from that country.” Democrats on the Senate Budget Committee protected the program despite a Republican who proposed ending funding for it.
Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL), a very vocal critic of the program, said that he believes that the public will eventually demand an end to the program. But the Democrat-controlled Senate Budget Committee allowed it to continue in the vote last week.
Second, the Obama administration is currently funding education aid to Pakistan while cutting tuition assistance for U.S. soldiers. Representative Ted Poe (R-TX) is asking why the funding continues.
On Monday, March 18, 2013, Poe said:
Why are we funding education programs for our Benedict Arnold ally when we can’t fund – or don’t fund – the education for our military? And to Pakistan of all places, where hatred for America is at its highest. Washington should watch its spending and prioritize. It’s time, Mr. Speaker, to sequester Pakistan.
And that’s not all. Since the sequester, the administration has approved $37 million in foreign aid to Pakistan.
According to Poe, the cost of the military education program is 0.1 percent of the Defense Department budget, yet it has helped 50,000 military soldiers graduate.
This goes on while White House tours are suspended and USDA food inspectors are furloughed. Sequestration? What sequestration?

SO CALLED “DEFENSIVE MEDICINE” ALSO LEADS TO EARLIER DIAGNOSES AND TREATMENT AND ACCESS TO ADVANCED MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY…THIS COLUMN OFFERS A BAND AID FOR A GAPING WOUND…..MEDICARE IS A WELFARE LIKE ENTITLEMENT THAT NEEDS TO BE REFORMED AND MADE MEANS TESTED WITH HIGHER DEDUCTIBLES FOR WEALTHY SENIORS..NOT ONE SIZE FITS ALL….RSK
End ‘defensive medicine’ by going to a system like workers’ compensation.
March 23 marks the third anniversary of the passage of the most controversial legislation in a generation, the Affordable Care Act, better known as ObamaCare. As the federal law moves toward a more thorough implementation next year, states are grappling with the costs and obligations imposed on them, such as the need to establish health-insurance “exchanges” where low-income workers can obtain coverage.
Some states are also searching for ways, outside the scope of ObamaCare, to improve health care and lower costs. A promising idea that is gaining traction is to completely overhaul medical malpractice by kicking it out of courtrooms. Two states leading the way are Georgia and Florida, where lawmakers are considering repealing their medical tort system and replacing it with a medical-compensation board similar to those used for workers’ compensation. Bills for the Patients’ Compensation System have been introduced in both states.
Getting rid of the entrenched malpractice system could have a major impact on health-care spending because one of the biggest cost drivers is “defensive medicine.” Doctors tend to prescribe more tests and medicines and specialist referrals than necessary, all in an effort to protect themselves against malpractice accusations in the event that something goes wrong.
