Oh, I don't know...let me pick a random quote...
Thessalonians 2:11
For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie.
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

We now know that Barack Obama has sat for almost a year on the information regarding Iran's "secret" nuclear plant. His hand was forced yesterday by the Iranians who were the ones that went public with the information when it appeared to them that their security had been breached. This led to Barack Obama disclosing the previously withheld information regarding the plant. The Iranians kept the plant secret and Obama aided them by his silence. So much for the transparency promise.
What damage has been caused by Obama's withholding this information from the world?
Instead of focusing his attention and efforts on Iran - a major geopolitical problem - he chose focus his efforts...where, exactly? The stimulus bill was cooked up by Congress; his health care reform efforts are stalled; cap and trade seems D.O.A. Instead of using his impressive rhetorical ability and his bully pulpit to focus on Iran, he bullied Israel over settlements and castigated and insulted American businessmen, Republicans, town hall resisters, doctors, policemen, and a wider range of Americans (and America).
Yet, he praised the Islamic Republic of Iran and apologized for America's actions in the Middle East. He held out his hand to a regime that denies the Holocaust while plotting to commit another one, and has a history of lying repeatedly to the international community while murdering away around the world (including its own citizens, uh..subjects).
Obama has given Iran more time to develop nuclear weapons. But is there more damage that Obama has caused?
He has allowed Iran time and wiggle room to escape the brunt of the one type of sanction that once held promise to restrain Iran: crafting and enforcing sanctions on companies and nations that export refined gas to Iran (Iran has been unable to build its own refinery capacity to meet the needs of a rapidly expanding population. That is what happens when you turn industry over to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards; they make American government bureaucrats seem efficient).
In the last year, threats of sanctions on those few companies and nations that supply Iran with gasoline and heating oil have been partially effective. But the serious pressure would have come from sanctions passed by Congress. Had this bill passed other nation's may have been persuaded to follow America in sanctioning the regime.
There has been a bill in Congress - the Iran Refined Petroleum Sanctions Act - that has been bottled up by Howard Berman, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, in deference to Obama's "diplomacy", Now it appears that Congressman Berman is piqued that Barack Obama had information regarding Iran's duplicity and hid it from prying eyes. Berman writes an op-ed in today's Washington Post indicating that he intends to move on the bill in the coming months.
But it may be too late, and this fact shows the damage Obama has caused by withholding information from the American people and the world community.
In the past few months , Iran has arranged to import gasoline from other nations (China and Venezuela, among them) that will be less susceptible to pressure from America. Refineries are being built in Iran with Chinese help. Syria, Iran's ally, is building refineries with Venezuelan help. The months that Obama has given Iran - with nothing but venom and braggadocio in return - has given Iran leeway to diversify its sources of oil. Its Achilles Heel is no longer very vulnerable. The Iranians have taken countermeasures to eviscerate the threat and potency of sanctions.
As Helen Thomas might say, Thank you, Mr. President.
“It was like walking into a den of horror researching this man.”
Yes it was. Obama has been a criminal for many years. Govt. loan fraud, and the like. His handlers have wiped his entire life off the face of the earth. That includes his communist writings at Columbia and Harvard.
I thought the Dan tribe were Jews?
It wasn’t while he slept. That implies a lack of knowledge. It was while he played golf, took his family on vacation, and gave frothy interviews to the adoring press, all with full knowledge of the situation. And, when he managed to mention Iran, he lied and said they were of no threat.
I nominate this as post of the day.
Of course, obama and his obamatrons would have Beck killed Chicago-style (aspirin suicide?)...
It is believed that the lost tribe of Dan was exiled when the Assyrians destroyed the Kingdom of Israel most likely over religious beliefs and denial to tow the line of the old Jewish religion. Many of them claiming ascendency of the tribe of Dan were later found in Ethiopia...remember, Dan never really had land, they were the tribe of ships...and they also were noted for their pagan practices, remember, that’s why God had the kingdom destroyed.
They were Jews, but they were heavy into paganism.
If you really want to get squirrely, which I did in researching the tribe of Dan, and it kinda gave me chills...is that in Revelations, it describes the six fake antiChrists some of which will be descendents of the tribe of Dan...ROFL!
At one time I was wondering how so many people could be so mesmerized by Obama, could believe his lies and refuse to believe his corruption...so when I was researching the tribe of Dan...I really got wonked out when it said that some of the six fake antiChrists that will appear before the real one, and would be descendents of the tribe of Dan, and many of the tribe of Dan immigrated into Kenya and became the Luo tribe and you know who is a direct descendent of the Luo tribe...I had to cut my computer off and quite reading, because every picture I saw of the Obamessiah started appearing to me with forked tongue and eyes ablaze!!!! lmao!
The vageries of one’s imagination gone wilddddddddd. :)
Thank you, very interesting.
Treason.

The Naked Archaeologist, Simcha Jacobvici, looked into the tribe of Dan. I forget which episode. Really like his work.
