http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2012/09/just_how_much_is_16_trillion.html The U.S. debt clock ticked up over 16 trillion early this morning. Just 10 months ago, I wrote that the clock had struck fifteen trillion. To put that in perspective, The United States government took the first 200 years of its existence to reach one trillion in debt. It has now taken less than […]
Some Love Lost: Dems Drop ‘Special Relationship’ Language from 2012 Platform The pro-Israel news wires have been abuzz over the excision of core pro Israel language from the 2012 Democratic Party Platform. But it is not only the changes in the Democrats’ planks that should be examined. For those who missed it but who care […]
http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2012/09/05/Democrats-change-platform-God-Israel Tonight, the Democratic National Committee suspended the rules of the convention and inserted language regarding God and the State of Israel back to its platform. They had to vote three times to do it – and they had to lie to deem it passed, even though it was clear that the measure did not […]

Good for the Connecticut Jewish LedgerThe irony is that the leftist rabbis were the first to attack evangelicals for interfering in politics. These rabbis have joined the general liberation theology movement….which has little to do with theology and much to do with an anti-Western mind set that puts global warming, abortion and gay rights in the forefront, while putting spiritual matters on the back burner. To their agenda they have added Israel bashing. They can all pat themselves on the back as they see growing anti-Semitism and the words Jerusalem and God banned from the platform of the DNC. After they pat themselves they can all go to hell…..rsk
In December of 2009 we wrote about our objections to members of the rabbinate being involved in political discussions. At the time, the issue was a public statement, urging Senator Lieberman to vote in favor of President Obama’s healthcare legislation, which was signed by a number of rabbis in Connecticut as well as others around the country. Our specific problem was the questioning of the Senator’s motivations regarding how he was going to vote.
Last week, the White House released a list of rabbis who support Barrack Obama’s re-election. Many of the points we made in our December 2009 editorial apply. Here are three quotations we used in that article:
“Everyone knows the basic rules,” said Rabbi David Saperstein in an article in the Forward last year. The director and counsel of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism also said that, “You can talk about issues, but you can’t endorse candidates and parties, but there are all these gray areas in between that people are struggling with.”
http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/3327/foreign-law-statement These domestic unions often begin with disregard for the state law, due process and informed contract formation when marriages and property distributions are arranged without the bride’s participation. State law, contract rules and constitutional provisions should apply. The American system should be based upon law, not clerical dictate. Republican convention delegates voted last week […]
http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/3328/us-israel-strategic-cooperation Mark 2012, however, as the year the Obama administration took its most overt steps yet to tell the Arab and Muslim World the the US was severable from Israel. How much of what the US and Israel developed over the years was shared with countries overtly hostile to Israel? “I don’t want to be […]
BIG DEAL…TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE!!!

Palestinians have nurtured a myth that historically there were two Jerusalems – an Arab ‘East Jerusalem’ and a Jewish ‘West Jerusalem.’
Jerusalem was never an Arab city; Jews have held a majority in Jerusalem since 1870, and ‘east-west’ is a geographic, not political designation. It is no different than claiming the Eastern shore of Maryland should be a separate political entity from the rest of the state.
With an overall population of nearly 800,000 today, separating East Jerusalem and West Jerusalem is as viable and acceptable as the notion of splitting Berlin into two cities again, or separating East Harlem from the rest of Manhattan.
Arab claims to Jerusalem, a Jewish city by all definitions, reflect the “what’s-mine-is-mine, what’s-yours-is-mine” mentality underlying Palestinian concepts of how to end the Arab-Israeli conflict. That concept is also expressed in the demand for the ‘Right of Return,’ not just in Jerusalem – Israel’s capital, but ‘inside the Green Line’ as well.
Conventions Produce Unconventional Insights Into Parties’ Changing Views on Israel and Islam National party conventions produce balloons, hot air and many conventional wisdoms, but this year, the conventions highlighted the changing way Republicans and Democrats treat Jews, Israel, Muslims and Islamic extremism. Republicans stressed support for Israel and Jerusalem as its capital, but the Democrats […]
