Be mindful of what you are saying unkus, I don't think you want to get uncomfortably close to this:

"Only a Jew can praise an institution which is as corrupt and false as himself."---Adolf Hitler, "Mein Kampf", p.60

From the depths of my soul often comes feeling and things I can not explain. However, this time it is clear.

Off in the not to distant waters a storm is brewing...one the likes which has not been seen but in history books and generations of old...the time to choose sides draws nigh...On this anniversary of Dday..THIS generation, our generation will have its chance...but as the lines are drawn deeper, day by day, it is unfortunate yet altogether fathomable that brother will again leap against brother.
Stand ready and stand firm for all that is just and all the is righteous and all that is good. For the storm draws ever closer..and closer still

Sorry, the last real President America had left office on January 20, 1989.

You got that right!

That’s my take as well.

It’s a cinch the West isn’t going to stand up to Iran. Israel is on it’s own, and the sooner, the more comprehensive, and the more devastating to Iran’s nuclear program, the better.

It’s time dividends for ImAWhackJob’s mouth started paying off for the Iranian people. They supported this son of a bitch, now accept the consequences.

Both of you are dead on target IMO.

I have always said, Reagan was not supposed to be President, and he set back the globalist cabal by about 15 years.

Imagine how bad off we’d be right now, if Reagan hadn’t rebuilt our armed forces.

It’s time for another one. Sarah Palin could just be the one too. We’ll see.

What we need is to take back Congress in 2010, and the White House in 2012. And then we undo this ‘s—t’ in about 100 days. We’ll make Obama’s 100 days look like a kindergarten workshop.

The majority of Jews in this country supported Obama. Clearly he is not a supporter of Israel. Go figure.

Their voting bloc with the democrats have always been beyond comprehension to me.

What is it with them? Do they feel no connection with Israel or what? I’ve never understood what the hell they are thinking by the way they vote!

Everything you say is true...and that proves there should be some sort of mental competency test [that somehow couldn’t be beat, I know, I know, impossible!] before a person is allowed to vote!

There are many people in this country who won’t tolerate a muslim president.

Really?!? More than 50% of us?!? I doubt it...some would watch him sacrifice and drink the blood of an infant...and STILL 'adore'/support him!

[APPLAUSE!]

That actually made the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

There have always been a few of folks around who were ready to head for the hills at a moment’s notice, and there’ve always been a few folks around who viewed every current event through prophetic glasses. All of that sort of amped up in the ‘70’s with the popularity of Hal Lindsay’s “The Late, Great Planet Earth,” and coming on the heels of the Six Days War, and in the dying embers of Vietnam, people were in something of an apocalyptic mindframe.

Well, many of the same sentiments have returned, but with a sobering alteration: in this incarnation, unlike the last one, it is no Herculean effort to conform current events — or very possible immediate future events — to the words of thee ancient Prophets; it is as if the events are coming pre-formed, and all one must do is recognize where they fit for them to just drop into perfect position.

The actual length of the prophetic timeline remains a mystery. Will it be a decade or a century? Still, at the rate things are shifting around, there are many — not just a few, as in times past — who sense that the timeline will be shorter, rather than longer.

For some really good discussions, I recommend http://joelstrumpet.com/ as a website of acute interest.

The U.S. has long had a policy of keeping its embassies out of areas whose jurisdiction was under dispute . . . which was why it was located in Tel Aviv in the first place.

Moving the US Embassy is 100% in the interest of Israel and goes directly against US interests in the Middle East. It is amazing how many people on FR do not realize that Israel does things to further the cause of Israel, not out of altruism to the US.

"What makes you think American Jews support Israel? I think it is a myth. I have never seen the support."

Neither have I. Geeze, many of the Israelis don't even support their own survival. What is wrong with them? Oh wait, the plurality of Americans don't support their own survival as witnessed by voting in ObamaChamberlain.

World + hand basket + idiocy = HELL.

Yeah, go get ‘em Polarik!

Some Jews are just too mesmerized or brainwashed to notice that when Obama says he empathizes with the Jews, he's also enabling Muslims to have their way in Israel. When Jewish families are met by moving trucks with orders to vacate their homes and hand over property to Palestinian families, perhaps Obama-supporting Jews will get an inking of how they're being hoodwinked.

In the meantime, maybe this campaign will offer a moment of clarity to some of the 78% ...

Jerusalem Protests Label Obama Anti-Semitic
Wednesday, June 3, 2009 9:40 PM
By: David A. Patten, Newsmax.com

An estimated 250 Israelis took to the streets in Jerusalem Wednesday, chanting “No you can't!” in protest of growing American pressure to halt expansion of West Bank settlements, on the eve of President Obama’s major address to Muslims on Thursday.

The protests are but one indication of the strong political reaction in Israel to the settlement issue, as well as a growing unease over President Obama’s support for the Arab nations vis-à-vis Israel.

According to the Jerusalem Post, speakers at the rally included Knesset member Michael Ben-Ari, the wife of convicted Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard, and activist-rabbi Shalom Gold.

“Mr. Obama… be a friend of Israel… but even if you won't be, we have the greatest ally in the world,” Rabbi Gold said pointing skyward to heaven, the newspaper reported.

Israeli sources tell Newsmax the protest is only the beginning of a much larger campaign that will apparently go so far as to portray Obama as anti-Semitic.

Israeli Web sites are already showing images of campaign posters depicting Obama wearing a keffiyah, the traditional Arab scarf favored by the late Yasser Arafat and other Arab leaders.

The Jerusalem Post, which reports the Jewish National Front is backing the campaign, says the posters of Obama will be “flanked by the words, ‘anti-Semite,’ and ‘Jew-hater,’” written in both English and Hebrew.

A left-wing activist group, Peace Now, immediately demanded that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu renounce the anti-Obama campaign.

Good! Israel is a peace-loving freedom-loving civilized democracy and need not do anything "out of altruism" for the US.

Look ALL around that tiny Westernized nation, what do you see? I see a lot of hateful vengeful tyrannical nations who have a victim mentality and need to right some stupid perceived religious wrong from centuries back.

Israel is a Western nation. That is a good thing. All the Arab/Muslim nations surrounding them, with the possible exception of Jordan, are barbarians in their beliefs and actions. I support Israel.
