Isaiah 43: 3-4—“For I am Yahweh your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I have given Egypt as your ransom, Cush and Seba in your place. Since you are precious in My sight, since you are honored and I love you, I will give other men in your place and other peoples in exchange for your life.”

Shalu shalom Yerushalayim: Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. (Psalm 122: 6)

“Mr. Blair said radical Islamists believed that whatever was done in the name of their cause was justified—including the use of chemical, biological or nuclear weapons.”

#####

“The former prime minister argues the West has become too imbued with doubt and lacking in mission. On repairing the economy, combating Islamic extremism and restoring purpose.”

#####

We should not be misled by the official Israeli and Palestinian spokesmen – Nobody involved in the renewed direct negotiations is really interested in holding them.”

#####

“In Hamas-controlled Gaza, the bloodshed was celebrated; the news was broadcast from loudspeakers and there was a ‘victory’ rally in the Jebaliya refugee camp. The Palestinian Authority, headed by Fatah’s Mahmoud Abbas, issued a tepid statement condemning the Hamas ‘operation’—not because the slaughter of innocent civilians is a brutal atrocity, but merely on the tactical grounds that it ‘contradicts Palestinian interests’ by making it more difficult for ‘the Palestinian leadership to garner international support.’”

#####

“As someone interested in the non-political aspects of the Ground Zero Mosque (business plan, zoning, financing, etc) I’m reaching the conclusion that what’s most important is not to oppose or support construction of the mosque but to understand it. In other words, there can be people who passionately  favor this project but who can still learn a lot from the whole affair.”

#####

“I do know it hasn’t been 10 years since 9/11—and look at the mess we’ve created. If we don’t get beyond this Democrat-Republican bickering—if we don’t come together as Americans to resolve our problems—a real world of hurt lies ahead.”

#####

“If the law is unknowable, so is the extent of the power the state may wield to enforce it.”

#####

“One unbridgeable divide between left and right is how each views alternatives to present-day America. Those on the left imagine an ideal society that has never existed, and therefore seek to ‘fundamentally transform’ America. When liberals imagine an America fundamentally transformed, they envision it becoming a nearly utopian society in which there is no greed, no racism, no sexism, no inequality, no poverty and ultimately no unhappiness.”

#####

“We aren’t quite there yet: Europe, led by the Germans, did rescue the Greek economy this year, while demanding massive structural and budgetary changes in exchange for a massive injection of money. But the rescue was not carried out in the name of European solidarity or because the new North feels any responsibility for the new South. It was undertaken grudgingly, reluctantly, on behalf of banks that owned too many Greek bonds. And here is a prediction about such rescues: It won’t happen again.”

#####

“Notice how Dems are running away from Obama, Pelosi, Reid, et al? Reid’s son, Rory, a Dem candidate for Governor of Nevada, not only won’t mention his party, but has forgotten his last name was “Reid,” at least in his ads.”

#####

“Nancy Pelosi, watching her prospects for continuing as speaker of the House slipping steadily away, cries for somebody to do something, anything. For starters, she’s demanding that Democratic incumbents in safe districts (if any) more or less suspend their own campaigns and send their money to colleagues doomed to having to go home to find real jobs.”

#####

“President Barack Obama boldly proclaims, ‘The buck stops here!’ But, whenever his policies are criticized, he acts as if the buck stopped with George W. Bush.”

#####

“What would a genuine revival look like and how did those that have transformed America several times in the past get started? Earlier revivals were not created from the mobilization of large crowds. They occurred when people did something infrequently observed in modern times: humbled themselves.”

#####

“1) Remember the stimulus bill? Republicans strongly opposed it and said it wouldn’t work. Democrats said it would revive the economy and keep unemployment under 8 percent. So, what happened? Democrats shoved through a bill that cost $1.1 trillion when you add in the interest. It cost more than the Marshall Plan, the Louisiana Purchase, and putting a man on the moon—combined. The result? The economy didn’t take off, the unemployment rate is still at 9.6 percent, and Democrats are calling for…you guessed it, another stimulus bill.”

#####

“It’s a premise very 20th-century American in its origins — and completely nutty in its implications. Affirmative action in electoral politics makes no more sense than it makes on the factory floor or in the corporate office. The content of one’s character, as Martin Luther King Jr. is celebrated for having said, should be what counts. Indeed, it was to embrace this truth that Americans knocked down at last the segregative walls that had divided the citizenry. Show us what you can do, was supposed to become the operative injunction directed at job-seekers and political candidates.”

#####

“White House officials insist these are serious policy initiatives that are not being put forth just so Obama can say he’s doing something about the economy. But that leads to the question: If these are such great ideas, why wasn’t the president pushing them earlier?”

#####

“The 2009 stimulus package is so unpopular that Democrats have banned the word from their campaign vocabulary. ‘I’m not supposed to call it stimulus,’ Rep. Barney Frank told the Daily Show’s Jon Stewart. ‘The message experts in Washington have told us that we’re supposed to call it the recovery plan.’”

#####

“The floods that have left more than 20 million Pakistanis destitute have also left the ground fertile for Islamic extremists who are hoping to use the crisis to create more recruits for their struggle against the government of President Asif Ali Zardari, Pakistan’s ambassador to the United States Husain Haqqani told The Washington Examiner.”

#####

The New York Times reports First Lady Michelle Obama’s aides cautioned against her going on the early August European vacation in which she stayed at a 5-star resort in Spain and mingled with royalty. The lavish trip, the aides reportedly argued, could result in harm to her image.”

#####

“Lee was a nut, an eco-freak who said he was inspired by Al Gore’s environmental scare-documentary, ‘An Inconvenient Truth.’ His badly written ‘manifesto’ underscores his craziness. He hated ‘filthy human babies.’”

#####

“Although Rosh Hashana is correctly translated as ‘the beginning of the year,’ this term is nowhere to be found in the Torah. Only the Talmud refers to it as such. Even the prayers, whose earliest source stems from the Talmudic era, don’t refer to it as Rosh Hashana, but rather as ‘Yom Hazikaron’—a day of remembrance.”

In Israel, many orthodox Jews have no clue what Yahweh said about the Promised Land.

In Israel, many orthodox Jews have no clue what Yahweh said about the Promised Land, or if they know, they don’t seem to care.  They should pick up the Tanach and at least flip through the pages.  Do they realize that “Palestine” is the anglicized form of the word Roman’s coined to humiliate the Jewish people following the failure of the Bar Kochba Rebellion in 136 A.D.?  Palestine alludes to Israel’s bitter enemy—the Philistines.  The people in this video could read about the Philistines in the Tanach if they weren’t so busy celebrating “Palestine”.  Paul described them perfectly.  “Professing to be wise, they became fools….” (Romans 1: 22)
