Israel is our biggest welfare recipient

US taxpayers give Israel $3 billion per year, not including military equipment. US taxpayers do not give any money to the Vatican. Why? Because the Vatican gets along with all of its neighbors and Israel gets along with absolutely none of its neighbors. Israel has only one ideology and that is to steal the land of its neighbors, since 1920, thus causing all of these heated cauldrons. Syria and Lebanon kicked Israel off their borders over a year ago where Israel was trying to build new settlements.

Right now the entire population of Palestine is surrounded by walls the Israelis built to confine them in an open air prison; all the while Israel is bombing Gaza, Palestinian land. While we focus on Lebanon our attention is being torn away from Palestinian suffering at this moment.

Lebanon is under siege by the greedy and nefarious Jews killing innocent women and children.

Israel is our biggest welfare recipient. Even if Israel was living in peace it would require US taxpayers to continue sending billions of dollars to it as it is not a self-sustaining country. It has no income. It has no way to make money off of anything (tourism does not fill their food baskets). It depends on you and me, financially, to continue giving it an excuse to be there.

Israel began in 1897 when Theodor Hertzl of Austria wanted a nation state for Jews. He went to countries where Jews already lived, such as Argentina, Guatemala and several African countries to see if they had any nice places where the Jews could build a central home. Theodor Hertzl found the Palestinian area favorable as 5,000 Jews already lived there, in peace within the Palestinian neighborhoods. Hertzl brought 250 Jews out of Europe to begin his secular Jewish home. If you ever take the time to read Hertzl's works, you will find he was not a fanatic like the Israelis are today at your expense.

Pray for the children of Palestine and Lebanon. We (USA) are the cause of their suffering.

Arabic T-shirt sparks airport row

Seems like Mr. Bush + Cronies have completely brainwashed us - so now, we have lost all tolerance? It's funny how the Jewish people have went from being persecuted to prosecuting, humiliating and subjugating the rest of the world. After all we all know that Israel and Jews control the U.S. Read the story below to see how you may be targeted next for wearing a shirt, listening to a particular album, etc.

An architect of Iraqi descent has said he was forced to remove a T-shirt that bore the words "We will not be silent" before boarding a flight at New York. Raed Jarrar said security officials warned him his clothing was offensive after he checked in for a JetBlue flight to California on 12 August.

'Authoritarian regimes'

Mr Jarrar's black cotton T-shirt bore the slogan in both Arabic and English. He said he had cleared security at John F Kennedy airport for a flight back to his home in California when he was approached by two men who wanted to check his ID and boarding pass. Mr Jarrar said he was told a number of passengers had complained about his T-shirt - apparently concerned at what the Arabic phrase meant - and asked him to remove it. He refused, arguing that the slogan was not offensive and citing his constitutional rights to free expression.

Mr Jarrar later told a New York radio station: "I grew up and spent all my life living under authoritarian regimes and I know that these things happen. "But I'm shocked that they happened to me here, in the US."

After a difficult exchange with airline staff, Mr Jarrar was persuaded to wear another T-shirt bought for him at the airport shop. "We Will Not Be Silent" is a slogan adopted by opponents of the war in Iraq and other conflicts in the Middle East. It is said to derive from the White Rose dissident group which opposed Nazi rule in Germany.

The Real Terrorist

In a dramatic statement, the Israeli Foreign Minister said, as reported in Irish Examiner:

In Copenhagen, Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni said “time will tell who is the winner” of the 34-day conflict, and she said Hezbollah had been weakened by the fighting.

“Hezbollah has to give some explanation to the Lebanese people,” she said. “They suffered for nothing.”

Wow. Splendid. Absolutely Fantastic. So, Hezbollah has to answer the Lebanese people about what some Israeli terrorists did to them? Interesting... we are truly living in crazy times!

Wake up, Americans!

I understand that majority of the Americans agree with Ann Coultor and her likes (like the author of this document) just because they propogate Islam-bashing, are bigots, extremely right-wing and support the worst President aka Bush & His Cronies. Heck, 39% of us said that Muslims should wear badges in public (my, my - we have certainly learnt a lot from the Holocaust, heck we're practicing it!) Wake up Americans before it is too late! Our economy is in the tank, our jobs are gone, we make less, we are wasting billions of dollars in senseless wars, Dick Cheney and Halliburton are getting richer, Israel gets $13 billion a year from your tax money and we are the one of the most unpopular regimes in the world. Wake up, already!

Lou Dobbs: It's good to be a superpower

This was a good article posted on CNN.com, so I thought I'd post it verbatim - enjoy!

Wednesday, August 16, 2006; Posted: 2:32 p.m. EDT (18:32 GMT)

NEW YORK (CNN) -- The Soviet Union, Marxist Leninism, the Evil Empire and their ugly metaphor, the Berlin Wall, crumbled and collapsed almost 17 years ago.

At the time, I thought it was strange that the United States didn't have the inclination to celebrate. There were no victory parades and no fireworks; nor did Congress declare a V-CW Day, as in Victory in the Cold War. There weren't even any grand speeches about America's emergence as the World's Only Superpower.

But a grand smugness did grip most of Washington. And hubris became the foundation of almost every national policy, foreign and domestic. And why not? We were entitled as the World's Only Superpower.

What a blessing, all these superpower advantages. What other people besides Americans can afford not to make their own clothes? The world has other people for such menial tasks, and they sell us all but a few of our shoes, shirts, slacks, suits, dresses and coats (and, of course, accessories). We now import around 96 percent of our clothing.

What other nation can afford to dismantle its manufacturing base and export high-paying middle-class jobs overseas to lesser, cheaper foreign labor markets and then buy back the goods those poorer people provide us?

And energy? Why, we Americans have money to burn. We spend $15-20 billion each and every month to import fuel for our cars, trucks, office buildings and few remaining factories and plants. We can be heedless to the consequences, because as Vice President Dick Cheney suggests, conservation doesn't work well anyway. So why be bothered with such irritating constraints?

Because we're a superpower, we needn't concern ourselves with silly little annoyances like trade and budget deficits. Who cares? What greater proof of our superpower status can there be than 30 consecutive years of trade deficits, evaporating surpluses in services and agricultural goods and even technology.

Our trade deficit in manufacturing soared nearly 300 percent from 1997 to 2005, surging to $662.5 billion. Our business and government leaders soothingly remind us that we are a technology economy and needn't be distracted by developments like the reversal of what was a $35-billion surplus in high-tech goods to what is now a $44-billion deficit. It's great to be The Superpower.

What about all that money we're burning? Not to worry. Spend it if you got it. Well, we really don't have it, actually. We're borrowing more than $2 billion a day to send to those lesser souls who are uncomfortably situated in poorer nations that can only aspire to our superpower status.

As to our government's budget deficit, again, that's not a problem. Our federal government keeps two sets of books: one that shows our budget deficit shrank to $319 billion last year and the Treasury Department set that shows $760 billion. Now, we don't want anyone to get needlessly anxious here. It turns out that our national debts and commitments actually stand at an incredible $49 trillion. But let's just keep that little number amongst ourselves.

The federal government uses a quaint accounting system that would be illegal for any large enterprise in America, and there are those who believe our government should be more transparent, or perhaps honest, if you will. One of those with a very unpopular wet-blanket attitude is David Williams of the Citizens Against Government Waste. "If this happened in the private sector, we would call the government 'Enron,' " Williams says.

David, David, David...A little less negativity, please. David Williams is among that small, insignificant and clearly irrelevant group of eccentric rationalists who care about cause and effect, truth and consequence.

Rep. Jim Cooper, a Tennessee Democrat, is among them as well. In his new book, Cooper writes about things like the fact that our federal government last year paid out $38 billion to the wrong people and that $20 billion of taxpayer money simply disappeared from the government's treasury.

Negativists like Williams and Cooper get all a-gaggle over the fact that the GAO can't certify the books of the Pentagon, the Department of Homeland Security, the Energy Department and NASA. They're even upset that the federal government has failed its annual audit for nine years in a row. Talk about Nervous Nellies.

So what if the U.S. debt rating is heading for junk status by 2025, according to Standard & Poor's. That's a problem for nations that aren't superpowers, don't you think?

When it comes to international relations, our superpower status is even clearer. Though admittedly, it is a little embarrassing to watch how easily the United States imposes its will on the Middle East and brings aspiring superpowers like China to heel on issues like human rights and democracy.

Looking back, I'm grateful that we didn't celebrate our emergence as the World's Only Superpower those many years ago. In our current exalted state, it's clear we were wise not to do so.
