These are our enemies...

and this is what they do to their own children... somehow waterboarding doesn't even come close to what I as a father of small boys would like to do to these "peace loving muslims"
[WARNING: These photos are very graphic]























Where are the liberals calls for justice? Where are Amnesty International? Where are the so called Hollywood Celebrities who champion every whacked out cause they can dig up from under a rock.... they're too busy protesting America, cursing George Bush and enthralled in the orgy of Obama's second coming, to even care what this little boy endured at the hands of these wonderful Muslims who only hate us because we are evil.
If this doesn't make you sick and awaken you to the true enemy that we face.. then you are truly the walking dead.
I agonized over whether to post this... in the end, I couldn't get this little boy's look of fear, pain and terror out of my head. Its time we wake up and understand that there is true evil in this world.. and no its not American Capitalism.

When Truth is Called Lies...

Isaiah 5:20-21
"Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight."


When Israeli troops are demonized because of civilian casualties, while the media completely ignores that the civilians were placed and kept in harm's way by Hamas, it begins to defy logic that these types of outright lies are tolerated. When the Israelis drop leaflets into combat targets to warn away civilians that they are about to attack, it is beyond credulity that any military objectives are achieved. Instead Hamas keeps in place their human shields while loudly cursing the Israelis when civilians including women and children are killed by the strikes. All the while, they steal aid supplies and use them for their own purposes or worse "sell" them to their own people. Throughout this travesty, the U.N. condemns Israel and arabs curse the Jews to nods of approval thoughout the world. Unless we open our eyes and see the truth before us, we will not only allow evil to triumph but even worse become an ally with it.


Through the years of working in the legal field, I have often seen that in order to fully understand something or to see the truth in a set of complex and confusing facts, you have to be patient and take the time to consider everything suspending your judgment to follow the evidence wherever it may lead. We as a people have become lazy and no longer have the patience or the will to search out truth and instead quickly accept the easy lies. Often I have seen competent attorneys in their rush to get something done or move a case along, fail to take the time to hear the whole story. Instead they want a quick "sound bite" which fails to fully convey the whole story or fully explain the true issue. In the same way, the American people have lost their discernment as they have accepted without question the news stories of the day which have been twisted to satisfy certain idealogical views. Because they fail to fully consider all of the facts of the news, without question they have failed to recognize when they are given lies and as a result reject the truth. In these times of complete propaganda by the media and their embracing ultimate power by their choice of President, the public has rushed headlong into value judgments which are twisted and in their truest sense are inherently evil. As the media has protected, defended and promoted evil, they have played a major role in the dismantling of the protections which preserve our society.

In the end, the American people have lost their way and have become so used to lies, that they no longer recognize the truth when it is before them. In the same way, they have been beguiled to follow madness as our new leader begins dismantling the very institutions and safeguards which have prevented another 9/11. As the storm approaches, I can only pray that as the wind and waves hit, people will shed their blindness and seek again to know truth.

President Obama in less than a week in office has begun tearing down the foundations of our country's defenses. As he limits the CIA's activities, prohibits extreme interrogation techniques, closes Guantanamo Bay and draws back the security measures that have prevented our enemies from mounting another successful attack, he has thrown open our country's doors inviting terrorism to strike us again. All the while, this is done to cheers from the political left, NBC, ABC, CBS and CNN as well as a majority of the American populace who have forgotten the shock, sadness, horror and anger when the towers came down. As our enemies circle even now preparing to strike, I pray that WHEN the attack comes the cost will not be more than we can bear but will revive the fire of true patriotism that built our country.

"Those who refuse to recognize evil and thus fail to protect and defend liberty will not enjoy it for long"

My thoughts on the Inauguration...

Despite my personal experiences, I readily admit that I have never personally endured the hateful or violent experiences of those who have been victims of racism. Given this obvious lack of perspective, I guess it is not surprising that I have not understood how people of color and spiritual conviction have been captivated and mesmerized by the person of Obama. I have been bewildered that many of my friends and acquiantances of color have been so caught up in the euphoria surrounding the inauguration. In many cases, these friends of color who are often as conservative and spriritually minded as myself have appeared to be blinded by the person of Obama and seemingly unaware of his agenda and views which in many cases are diametrically opposite to their own. All I can surmise is that the perspective of being an African American and having endured the stigma and at times cruelty of racism has overwhelmed their sensibilities in that they are caught up in the wonder that something they never truly thought would ever happen... has occurred. While encouraged that there are increasing numbers of people who are not driven by racial hatred to elect an African American President, I am equally dismayed that they elected this African American man. My dissent is not to the President-Elect's color but rather his views, platform, agenda and character. While some may view my disapproval as a sign of racism, I would gladly have given my vote, money and support for several African American people had they been a candidate. While my refusal to jump on the Obama Bandwagon may be called racist by some who don't know me, it remains deeply rooted in my belief that this man, regardless of his color, is not and will not be a good president. I pray for the sake of my children and our country that I am proven wrong.
