With all of the research available today, data and factuality of historical events can be brought to any computer screen; in seconds. One of the more troubling ignorance’s is the origin of Christmas. Simple research reveals that this day and time only existed as a pagan celebration; otherwise known at some points in time as; Saturnalia! The time of the winter’s Solstice! So; how did this Pagan celebration become Christmas as we now know it? Good question! So; I am going to quote some references. The first one comes from Wikipedia.

Saturnalia:

“In Roman times, the best-known winter festival was Saturnalia, which was popular throughout Italy. Saturnalia was a time of general relaxation, feasting, merry-making, and a cessation of formal rules. It included the making and giving of small presents (Saturnalia et Sigillaricia), including small dolls for children and candles for adults. During Saturnalia, business was postponed and even slaves feasted. There was drinking, gambling, and singing, and even public nudity. It was the "best of days," according to the poet Catullus. Saturnalia honored the god Saturn and began on December 17. The festival gradually lengthened until the late Republican period, when it was seven days (December 17-24). In imperial times, Saturnalia was shortened to five days. Natalis Solis Invicti

The Romans held a festival on December 25 called Dies Natalis Solis Invicti, "the birthday of the unconquered sun." The use of the title Sol Invictus allowed several solar deities to be worshipped collectively, including Elah-Gabal, a Syrian sun god; Sol, the god of Emperor Aurelian (AD 270-274); and Mithras, a soldiers' god of Persian origin. Emperor Elagabalus (218-222) introduced the festival, and it reached the height of its popularity under Aurelian, who promoted it as an empire-wide holiday. December 25 was also considered to be the date of the winter solstice, which the Romans called bruma. It was therefore the day the Sun proved itself to be "unconquered" despite the shortening of daylight hours. (When Julius Caesar introduced the Julian Calendar in 45 BC, December 25 was approximately the date of the solstice. In modern times, the solstice falls on December 21 or 22.) The Sol Invictus festival has a "strong claim on the responsibility" for the date of Christmas, according to the Catholic Encyclopedia. Several early Christian writers connected the rebirth of the sun to the birth of Jesus. "O, how wonderfully acted Providence that on that day on which that Sun was born . . . Christ [Messiah] should be born," Cyprian wrote.”

So now you can see the connection between Saturnalia, Sol Invictus, and Christmas being celebrated during this time period. Actually, the true Messiah was never born at this time, did you know that? Another source; a former Catholic writes the following.

In his book The Two Babylons, Alexander Hislop traces the Christmas origins. (I’ve had a copy of this book for a very long time!)

"And first, as to the festival in honor of the birth of Christ [Messiah], or Christmas. How comes it that that festival was connected with the 25th of December? There is not a word in the Scriptures about the precise day of His birth or the time of year when He was born. What is recorded there implies that at what time so ever His birth took place, it could not have been on the 25th of December. At the time that the angel announced His birth to the shepherds of Bethlehem, they were feeding their flocks by night in the open fields. Now . . . the climate of Palestine . . . the cold of the night, from December to February, is very piercing, and it was not the custom for the shepherds of Judea to watch their flocks in the open fields later than about the end of October. It is in the last degree incredible, then, that the birth of Christ [Messiah] could have taken place at the end of December" (p.91-92).

Now, I have only quoted two sources of information concerning the pagan connections of Christmas’s origin. Believe me; there is extensive information on this subject! Just Google “Origin of Christmas” and you will find over two million hits to search through!

I like to keep these blogs short and to the point but; this one needed a little more room.

What never ceases to amaze me is this: How can men and women of superior intellectual capabilities overlook this information? I listen to many talk shows, and I read many good columns and books written by intellectual men and women. Why it is these individuals cannot come to this understanding-that: This Christmas celebration is a prevarication? Totally pagan from start to finish; and is nowhere to be found in the Bible, and only found in the annals of pagan practices?

Are some people totally oblivious to facts, or are they compromisers and men pleasers, not wanting to rock the proverbial boat? Or; is the bottom line as usual-money? Something has blinded these supposed intellectuals! Wonder what?

 

Many years ago a comedienne (Brett Butler) used an expression that was very laughable. The Child Ain’t Right! This became one of her trademark lines, which leads into the insanity rules theme of this blog. Should insane people be allowed to rule? How can we keep insane people where they belong, in straight jackets or padded rooms?

During histories sad leadership trail, many men and women of less than sane mind states, ruled. Some attribute this insanity to various causes, like lead in the water, breeding too close, cocaine use, etc. Hitler’s out of his ever loving mind leadership; was pre-determined by the syphilis he contracted, while being a male prostitute. He entered the final or tertiary state of syphilis while Germany was falling into defeat. Syphilis most likely caused his insane behavior, which dubbed him, the rug chewer. Knowledgeable historians maintain Hitler contacted syphilis from performing oral sex on Jewish males. (Consequently his hatred for the Jewish people?) Propaganda attributed his syphilis to sexual contact with a Jewish girl so as not to have Hitler appear as a homosexual.

Anyway; Hitler had an excuse for his insanity, but what about people like Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad? What would be his excuse? Too much time in the sun; too many nights alone in the dessert, something his mother did to him when he was small, like dropping him on his head? The child ain’t right readily comes to mind with this guy! He definitely exhibits the behavior pattern of a lunatic. Would anyone in their right mind act like he does? Again; maybe it’s a sign of the times. It would appear that other leaders are exhibiting odd behavior at times. Pelosi, Putin, Chavez, Hillary… and Democrats en masse? Even some Republicans went off the deep end, or so it seems!

Another possibility exists in job conditions and job requirements. Perhaps insanity is a prerequisite for leadership these days. Why? Because people are doing things you just can’t explain any other way! Insanity would be a catch all blanket term for many people today. This excuse/defense is used effectively in criminal trial cases all the time. The defense attorney gets his client a “not guilty by reason of insanity verdict.” The criminal then spends a little time in the insane asylum-a.k.a.-resort. The criminal gets out in due time and walks away a free but sane person. Oh? You didn’t know they were examined and issued sane papers? How many people do you know that have their sane papers?

The question some Judges use in making legal decisions; “what would reasonable men do”, now becomes more striking as time progresses. The next question should be: Where are reasonable people to be found today? With the abuse of drugs, alcohol, pornography and other such excesses, mankind’s mentality has become questionable. Mental competence should be questioned and examined closely, especially when decisions affecting the human race come into play! Some people are just no longer reasonable. Leading us to believe with some-The Child Ain’t Right!

 

Do we wonder why the Republicans lost the House and Senate? They forgot what the GOP stands for! The Republicans, stress the importance of:

1. Religion, this country was founded upon Judeo-Christian religious beliefs.
2. Moral values, high morality is necessary for America’s survival.
3. America’s History, the Republicans are quite knowledgeable about the history of this country and refer to the historical founding’s often.
4. The Constitution, The Republican Party is a party that believes in the Constitution and other documentations by the founding fathers.
5. Lower or even no taxes, the GOP party supports lower taxes.
6. Limited government on economic issues,
7. The GOP favors business, Republicans believe in Capitalism, where everyone stands on there own two feet.
8. The GOP is against abortion and fetal stem cell research.

So; if they followed these issues and campaigned on them, why did they lose? Because they didn’t! The GOP folded in crisis. They have become a potpourri party. They tried to appeal to all voters across the board without offending any! They tried to copy and integrate the issues that Democrats campaigned on. They tried to appear as a blanket party, and lowered their standards to fight in the mud, and sometimes stood for issues that they were normally against.

Can you break the standard and still curry favor with conservative voters? Can you have immorality within the Republican Party and still hope to get elected? Can you have an inflated runaway budget and get elected? No, you cannot violate the conservative voters trust and still hope to be elected. The Democratic Party can violate any moral code, violate any creed, have no religious beliefs, and still be voted into office! Why, because that is what they now stand for. However; they did not stand for corrupted values at one time.

The difference between the GOP and the Democratic Party over the course of their perspective histories were negligible at times. Meaning; you could hardly tell the difference between the two parties. The shifts that occurred politically, would lead one to believe (and some still do) that it really doesn’t matter which party is in control, as they are both similar in beliefs! For instance; FDR would lead this nation in prayer during the hard times of the Depression and WW1, he was a Democrat that quoted from the Bible. How many Democrats embrace the Bible now? Very few; and usually only during their election campaigns is the Bible referenced, and then only for election or re-election purposes.

Simply put: The GOP lost because they violated the founding principles of the Republican Party. The corruption within a supposed moral based party, was more than some voters could tolerate. One of the poster boys and GOP party’s brain trust; Newt Gingrich, (along with others) started the GOP in the right direction with the “Contract with America”. Remember what that written contract was all about?

“As Republican Members of the House of Representatives and as citizens seeking to join that body we propose not just to change its policies, but even more important, to restore the bonds of trust between the people and their elected representatives.

That is why, in this era of official evasion and posturing, we offer instead a detailed agenda for national renewal, a written commitment with no fine print.”

http://www.house.gov/house/Contract/CONTRACT.html

Newt Gingrich started the Republican Revolution in 1994 with this contract, and then fell victim to infidelity himself! Has this Contract with America continued? No this contract has been forgotten! Can the voters embrace a man and a party that does these things? I am still very upset with this person to this very day because of his double standard life!

Several more incidents of immorality surfaced in the GOP. This; coupled with financial corruption within the higher ranking party members, repulsed the voters and caused their own defeat. People couldn’t even hold their nose and vote Republican after these issues came to light within the GOP Party. Now the deficit is beyond payable. This debt cannot ever be paid! And; this was under the Republican controlled House, Senate, and Presidency! GOP Party; you forgot the foundation and principles of the GOP! The Grand Old Party? Not!

 

We should be seriously concerned about society’s intellectual evacuation. I wanted to compare the descent to “Backward Evolution” but; I don’t believe in Evolution to start with. Originally man was created to be very intellectual. Earth’s first inhabitants were definitely not knuckle dragging ape people. Somehow the comparison to ape like ancestry is really an affront to any intelligent human being. By comparison, there is none! Man has been the superior creature from the start. It is only in the declining generations that mankind has adapted animal like inclinations. It would appear that the longer we are on this planet the worse we get! The more bestial we become!

I really enjoy reading intellectually superior writings. I love an individual who writes with a razor, or with a sword when necessary. These types of writers have special insight, and can cut to the chase without a lot of scatology obscuring their candid observations. The good writers continue to keep themselves intellectually sharpened. Astute in every area that concerns their peculiar areas of expertise, they always bring something to the mental palette. After reading their insightful missives, you leave feeling stimulated, and intellectually satisfied! Sadly, there are too many writers who write water-downed columns filled with meaningless drivel. These writers leave you intellectually empty and wondering why you read their column in the first place!

In what direction is the human race headed? Are we advancing as we should? It doesn’t seem like we are going anywhere now, does it? It appears that total annihilation is in the future for all humans. Would that be an intelligent decision, to push for nuclear destruction? Why is there so much anger and hatred everywhere? Is this where supposed intelligent people arrive eventually?

Actually, we have been in a dumb down mode for quite some time. Most High School students in the last thirty years (or longer) could not even pass an eighth grade exam that was given prior to the turn of the 20^th Century. I want to provide an example of the test taken in 1895. Due to the extensive subject matter covered, I will only include one section of the subject materials the students were tested on.

How well would this generation do? It has been stated by knowledgeable sources, (i.e. Teachers and Professionals who could actually pass this test) that even (many, if not most) College Professors today could not pass this test. Here is the link to the test and also the answers. http://www.barefootsworld.net/1895finalexam.html

 

In life you either condone something or you condemn it! Life in true reality offers no grey area. When you see criminal activity, you either accept that type of behavior or you reject it! Unless of course you are mentally unstable, but this being the only exception to black and white issues whereas this blog is concerned. So; what is your point? The silence of the Muslim majority is causing concern among many. Do the Muslims condone the terrorist actions of their people, or do they condemn it?

Why is there a seeming silence among the Muslims in the U.S.A? Are they just trying to duck under the radar? Or are they waiting for their opportunity to rise up against America too? Americans needs an answer on their position concerning the Islamic terrorists, and; the sooner the better. Personally, I do not have a lot of faith in Islam converting to America’s system of things any time soon. I have yet to seen them converting to America’s religious system en masse! I have yet to see American flag waving Muslims en masse, have you? No; and I don’t believe you will either any time soon!

The Muslim people are guests in this great country. It certainly would behoove them to realize their tenuous position. Remember the Japanese during WW2 that were living in America? They were rounded up and placed in interment camps. Everything was taken away, and they became suspected enemies! Are the Muslims any different? No, and unless they declare their position on the activities of their fellow countrymen, the same situation awaits them also! Many Americans are just not happy with a potential threat to their countries security. True Americans want to feel safe in this country; they do not want to live under an umbrella of fear and possible terrorists attacks.

In the book Militant Islam Reaches America Daniel Pipes reveals how there is no common ground whatsoever between Islamism and American freedom. “Islamists have absolutely no interest in preserving the essentials of American democracy. Their main objective is to dismantle the U.S. Constitution and to replace it with Sharia law.”

What will be eventually unveiled concerning that deafening silence that is obvious in America’s Muslim community? How will that silence be answered? I will revert to a Biblical passage for the answer to these questions.

“And it shall come to pass, that as the chased roe, and as sheep that no man gathers, they shall turn every man to his own people, and shall flee every man to his own land. Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is taken shall fall by the sword.” Isaiah 13:14-15 ASV

Americans for the most part are a very tolerant people. But that tolerance can be tested to the breaking point, and Americans will react accordingly. They will defend their land and they will defend their people. So beware Islam, America can turn against you as quickly as it opened the doors before you!

 
What comes to mind when you read a headline like this? Brain surgery? More schooling for the Democrats? Going to embed intellectuals into the Democratic Party? Or? That would help?

What is all the hullabaloo concerning these intelligence conduct issues the Democrats are obsessing on? To me it has the appearance of blocking any possible spying on Democrats or selected liberal agendized personnel. They want to make sure they can continue their lives without anyone knowing about their deviant behavior, or lifestyle. If they are into porn, treason, or any illegal activities whatsoever, they do not want you to know about it. Honest people have nothing to hide, so they are not really concerned about being spied upon. Of course this may be an invasion of privacy, but where national security is concerned, most Americans are unfazed by this program. Personally, I’m not concerned at all, my wife can access my PC any time she wants and so can the Feds!

Really; you should cheer when someone like Nancy Pelosi announces intelligence plans of any kind. This means there is hope! Not only for Ms. Pelosi, but others of like mind can realize their potential through Ms. Pelosi’s plans. And everyone thought that nothing could ever be done for the Democratic Party. This could provide a much needed resuscitation, a real breath of life, the Frankencrat Party lives! Just like the Wizard of Oz? The tin man only wanted a brain! Wow! Now the Democratic Party could have intelligence too?

On second thought; that would too much to ask or expect. The leopard cannot change its spots, and neither can the Democrats stop from being stupid, no matter what Ms. Pelosi plans. It took three attempts to select a chair for the House Intelligence Committee, and when one was finally selected? He couldn’t even answer simple questions concerning the two main sects of Islam. An area of expertise he must now embrace, it’s on his new job description! What are his new position requirements? Come January, Mr. Reyes will chair the House Intelligence Committee, which oversees all U.S. intelligence activity; a good portion of this is directed towards the war on terror. Off to a good start already!

Not to worry mate! With Ms. Pelosi’s intelligence plans, everyone has an opportunity to climb academically. Who knows! Maybe until it’s over, every Democrat can earn their Kindergarten diploma? Maybe that’s too much to hope for? Let’s just pray they do as little damage to America as possible! Honestly, I see a real paradox here, intelligence plans for the Democratic Party?

 

With the release of the Iraq Surrender Group Report, the chasm is ever widening. The initial response to President Bush’s war plan against terrorism was supported by both parties. Now it would appear, the Democratic Party wants the USA to leave Iraq and the war against terrorism. They are suggesting that the Surrender Group’s Report be followed and retreat from the anti-terrorism war effort. This perfidious war support by the Democratic Party is atypical of their new ideology and position. The once vaunted party of FDR, Harry S. Truman and of course John F. Kennedy has fallen into the hands of Socialistic manipulators, i.e. Bill & Hillary Clinton. How far from Marx is the Democratic Party?

When you commit to a cause like marriage for example, you should commit to the goals of all concerned. The support for the war against terrorism was unanimous from the first vote. Both parties were in favor of attacking terrorism wherever it might be found. Wars of this sort require patience and diligence. The war plan was unveiled and the “shock and awe” war tactic was initiated. Perhaps this was too much for some of the weaker politicians in Washington? Suddenly this war against terrorism was taking too long to finish.

We live in the age of instant everything, I want it; and I want it now generation, lacks patience in every area of life. You want something to eat? Hop into your car and drive to your favorite eatery and just fetch it, and fetch it now! Need something your little heart desires? Get it overnight by Fed-Ex or any one of several express delivery services. Why wait? I believe the same can be said of the war in Iraq. This war has taken too long for many, and this includes the perfidious Democratic Party.

Now known to be the no matter what it takes to get me elected party, Democrats have assumed the American People want the war over, now! With or without a victory matters not to these perfidious traitors, they want to kill the enemy with verbal assault and mindless chatter, including this surrender report. Let’s talk to the enemy? Maybe they should hire the let’s talk maven, Joan Rivers. Man could she chatter up a storm! Maybe her incessant chatter would cause them to surrender? Seems to be the plan now! Talk to the enemy, throw money at the enemy, surrender to the enemy, and maybe they won’t hurt us. Maybe they will just go away in peace? What are you thinking?

The general consensus among the battle enlightened is that more soldiers and more aggression will assure victory. I tend to believe the “shock and awe” was halted too soon. If the original battle plan would have been followed, the war in Iraq would have been over quite some time ago. (This bomb them back to the Stone Age idea was a really good plan. Tis a shame it ended so soon!) However, European (and also domestic) politics, inserted itself into the battle plan, and that is where the Allied Forces now stand. All dressed up and no one to bomb or kill without political permission. Make sure you are not killing the wrong terrorists hiding behind women and children now, or you will be punished. Absolutely no water boarding now! That would be too cruel for these decapitation minded people. Being politically correct among a look-a-like people can be extremely difficult.

This perfidious Democratic Party will be troublesome to America’s war policies. Any political capitulations against total victory in Iraq will have ramifications for all Americans and freedom loving people everywhere. It is too much for the Democratic Party to be in control of both the House and Senate simultaneously. With the Presidential elections looming in 2008, the thought of a Democrat as President should chill the bones of every real American.

 

When I was young, (which now seems like a very long time ago) we were taught to work for what we wanted or needed. It now appears that this is no longer the standard on planet earth. I keep thinking and saying; that somehow I was morphed into this planet from another location! This is not the planet I was raised on. Someone has found the key to the space time continuum. Someone has played a cruel trick on me, and placed me here against my will.

The planet that I was raised on was a real nice place. People were basically nice and most people were well mannered. When you wanted something, you said please! When you received something, you said thank you! Almost everyone worked very hard for their necessities. Nothing was handed out to them unless it became impossible for them to make a living. Welfare was unheard of on the planet where I came from. If any assistance was needed, it was handled by the local churches. Catholic Social Services did a lot for the poor and downtrodden.

The gimme generation expects everything to be handed to them on a platter. Why? Because they feel they are entitled to it, that’s why! They have it coming, so they believe. What changed? I believe a parent child communications breakdown has taken place. The parents of this gimme generation have relaxed the standards. Child labor laws prohibit children from working as they used to, and should. Somehow making children work, has become verboten! Don’t make the little darlings work, it could harm their psyche! They will have self-esteem issues if they are forced to work too hard, or at all.

When everything is handed to the gimme generation, they become like welfare recipients. That welfare check is expected to be in their mail box, or by direct deposit every month, and it had better be on time too! Parents giving their children weekly allowances without any effort on the child’s part to earn that free gift, only encourage them to be enablers and takers from then on! When we received any allowance money, you can believe some chores or work tasks were the reasons behind our parents giving us anything of monetary value! We earned it!

Personally; I really miss the planet I was raised on. Life was so much better there. Everything had reason and purpose then. Reality was taught and lived by the planet’s inhabitants. We all looked forward to the future, and we taught our children to be good contributing members of that planet. We were concerned for everyone’s safety and well being. But; alas, that happy place no longer seems to exist. I sure miss that place and time, don’t you? Could I be morphed back to the planet I really came from?

"A wise man speaks because he has something to say; a fool speaks because he has to say something."

Those Holiday Inn commercials are a hoot. Each one of the people in those Holiday Inn Express Commercials leads you to believe they can do phenomenal things because; they stayed at a Holiday Inn! We now have more than too many Actresses, Actors, and Comedians who actually believe they have the answers to today's problems! Why, because they stayed at the Holiday Inn...? This appears to be the reasoning behind their vacuous diatribes. What else could it be?

Actually, they probably didn't stay at any Holiday Inn, too low scale for most of them. It's the point that I am using to analogize their poser characteristics. They believe they can do anything and everything because they are so full of themselves and their ego has taken them to false heights of intellectualism. They absolutely believe they are so bright concerning everything. They assume to possess such mental capabilities, because the scripts are written for them to be capable intellectuals and they believe it! I could mention names but; it would only stroke their ego! Any press is good press with these types. They just love to see their name in print, and hear the sound of their own voice. This really gives them an ego boost!

The quasi intellectuals that haunt the TV and movies screens have their parts written for them by very gifted people. The success of a television series sometimes is only riding upon the writer's ability. The characters that play the assorted parts only have to learn the lines written for them. Some actually remember the lines, while others have Teleprompters or script notes pasted around the set in various spots to remind them of their lines. Either way, they are not the real brains behind those lines.

Political arenas seem to be a place where these quasi intellectuals love to participate. They think they can be the President of the USA, because they once played that role in a movie. The same can be said of every office in government. These actors absolutely believe they can do everything better than the actual elected officials, because they once played that role in movie.

If these posers were as good as they believe they are; (in their whimsical minds) why don't they actually run for elected office? Why stand on the side lines and give advice when you can actually be in the play for real? Change your script from fantasy to reality, so you don't have to stay at a Holiday Inn to be qualified for the real part. Why speak as a fool from the shadows when you can actually take the limelight in the real arena of politics. Just look at all of those politicians who have stayed at a Holiday Inn! Most of the Democratic Party and even some of the Republican Party act as though they have stayed at a Holiday Inn along the way!

The bottom line here is this: All of you Actors, Actresses, and Comedians keep your obtuse mouths shut! Restrain yourselves from vocalizing your worthless opinions! They are inane at best and absolutely worthless from any knowledgeable standpoint. They are making the people mad! Have you noticed your box office dropping lately? Have you wondered why?

 
At the annual summit of the Arabic leaders in Riyadh, King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia opened with the assertion that the Middle East countries are on the brink of exploding! When you get to the core of this insipid observation, you realize the point of the Arab contention-Israel! The focus points directly towards Israel’s existence. If only Israel would only cease to exist, all would be well in the Middle East!

The Palestinians were reeling from "a hostile and ugly occupation" by Israel while the international community watched their "bloody tragedy like a spectator," Abdullah said!

Do you really think this is the absolute root cause of the Arab hostilities? What a nut case; this Abdullah! It is always so easy to pass the blame for failure onto someone or something else. Israel is not the problem, but it will be the cure and solution to the Middle East problem in due course.

The Arab world will never be satisfied with Israel’s demise, if that was to occur! Israel’s demise would only be a stepping stone towards their ultimate goal; world domination. They have successfully planted themselves within the major countries around the world. In time they will try to conquer each country from within, with or without violence! The demise of Israel would only whet their bloody appetite! These Islamic Nations are evil and deceptive.

Do they want peace? Only under their control and conditions! Peace to them is a dead infidel! And you and I may be those infidels in due time?

Is this whole Middle East situation all about the existence of Israel? No it is not! Considering the history of Islam, the whole world was their target. Remember their defeat by Charles “The Hammer” Martel? Where was Israel in this battle?

Islam wants to believe the Temple Mount holds significance for them. However, the following quote belays that thought:

“Most of the problems surrounding Jerusalem can be traced to two areas of dispute. One is the political area that asks Jerusalem to be the capital of both Israel and the nascent Palestine. The other and most contentious problem is the holiness of Temple Mount to both Judaism and Islam.

The role Jerusalem has in the Hebrew holy works is well known and not open to debate; however, there are varying opinions on the holiness of Jerusalem, specifically Temple Mount to Islam.

Many if not most opinions that counter Islam's claim point out the Jerusalem is not mentioned in the Quran and did not occupy any special role in Islam until recent political exigencies transformed Jerusalem into Islam's third holy site.

Jerusalem's role as "The Third Holiest Site in Islam" in mainstream Islamic writings does not precede the 1930s.” (Taken from Eretz Israel. Org) Here is the link for the full article and historical background. http://www.eretzyisroel.org/~jkatz/templemount.html

What would solve the problems with Islam? Would Israel’s demise solve THEIR problems? Would the conquering of Europe solve THEIR problems? Would the demise of America solve THEIR problems? As can be seen from the Civil War in Iraq between the Sunni and Shiite factions, they will continue fighting anyone and anything, even themselves. NONE of this can solve their warring inclinations! Only their absolute termination would bring about any lasting peace for the earth!

With Islam, It’s never enough!

 
The radical Muslims a.k.a.-terrorists, are rejoicing over the Iraq Study Group Report, better known as the Iraq Surrender Group Report. They think that Allah has given them victory over the evil invaders called Allied Forces, a.k.a. infidels! They really are as stupid as they appear. Their Allah is only a figment of their imagination. No such being ever existed, EVER! There is no such thing as Allah!

The term comes from the Hebrew Elah, used frequently in the book of Daniel. The first instance of this name is found in Genesis 36:41.  'e^la^h, Elah, “terebinth.”  pi^yno^n, Pinon, “dark?” This is one of Esau’s descendants, the progenitors of one faction of Arabic descendants, the other progenitor was Ishmael. The term Elah is used frequently in Daniel and other places. But is it the true Name of God? No, it is not. But; that is not the point of discussion now. Where the term Allah and its use originate; is!

Nowhere in the Hebrew Bible is Elah the name of the Supreme Being! It is the name of a man and the name of an oak tree. (FOOTNOTE 2: Pictorial Ency. of the Bible, Zondervan, Grand Rapids, MI, USA, Vol. 5

The Moon God:

"Allah" is from the compound Arabic word "al-ilah" or in English "the god". Allah was known before Muhammad's time without a doubt. His name has been found in pre-Islamic writings and other archeological finds. At the Kabah in Mecca over 350 gods were worshipped, but it was built especially for the chief deity - the moon god. Allah was the personal title of the moon god. Allah was married to the sun goddess. They produced three daughters, whose worship Muhammad would later make the mistake of condoning. The crescent moon symbol of Arabia came from this god.

Muhammad's family revered this particular god, and it is this idol that Muhammad declared to be the only true god. So, Allah - far from being the revealed God of the Bible as Muhammad would have us believe - is nothing more than an amplified pagan idol. Muhammad did not re-make the pagan god; he simply removed the lower deities from the rites of worship. That is why he never had to explain who Allah was. By definition, an idol converted in the 7th century into a new god cannot be the same God revealed thousands of years earlier to Biblical prophets!” (Quote from scholarly sources.)

What are the flag symbols on the Islam flag? A crescent moon and a star! Is this just coincidence? I don’t believe that at all. So, just Google the term Allah, then Google search results with keyword, “origin,” and you have your answer to the Allah Figment as I call it! Also you can Google the flag symbols for Islam and view the results.

The ISGR is only a superficial view of an ancient problem. No matter what course of action is proposed or followed, failure is inevitable. Why? Because every plan that deals with the Middle East situation designed by man will fail. All things in this battle arena are controlled by a higher Power. One that is beyond the realm of man! He alone has prescribed the ultimate death and destruction of those that oppose Him, and His people Israel! No Iraq Study Group will have any decision making capacity here!

This surrender report and ultimate capitulation, will only postpone the inevitable, total destruction of the area called Babylon! This includes Iran and Iraq. These nations are doomed! They will be destroyed! There is no other plan for them than this! So! For now you will only stall the final battle! WW3 has been started and it will only end at Armageddon! There is no power on this earth that can or will stall the final report that was decided before the existence of man! Now! There you have it. And Allah? This is only an Islamic figment!

 
Wow Mom; look at all the new animals in Washington, DC. The donkey party is bringing in the strangest beasts you every laid your eyes on. The elephant party is also helping to set up this new zoo. They are bringing in fossils, relics of ancient time.

Why look, there is James Baker, with William Perry, and Lee Hamilton, how do these old relics even walk? Vernon E. Jordan, Jr., Sandra Day O’Connor, Leon E. Panetta, Charles S. Robb, and Alan K. Simpson, are there too!  Petrified animals in the New Government Zoo? This should make for interesting viewing. Where did they find these leftovers? How much does the American public have to pay for this display? Plenty I’ll bet. Perhaps the price of admission can be increased. (Veiled terminology for a tax increase!) Someone has to pay for the New Government Zoo, don’t they?

Oh, and they say they will put on a bi-partisan display at the turn of the year? Can such a display actually take place in Washington, DC? This would certainly be something to see! Might just be worth the price of admission! Why can’t these animals be retired to a nice quiet remote location, and live out their remaining years in silence?

This new display comes with an instruction book, called The Iraq Study Group Report. This book tells us all about other zoos in the world. The zoo in Iraq! The zoo in Afghanistan! The zoos in Iran and Syria! They are even recommending changes and updates in every zoo location. However; there does seem to be some disagreement to application procedure concerning each zoo. Should more zookeepers be added? Or, should we operate these zoos with fewer personnel? Maybe we should just close down these zoos because they are not cost effective? Decisions, decisions, whatever shall we do?

What is the zoo mentality and why are you comparing this with the current estate in Washington, DC? You know kids running around, misbehaving and generally having a great time. Just like they do when they visit a real zoo! When you consider the plethora of animals in any zoo, their peculiar features, and their mentalities? You actually have a blueprint for the New Government Zoo! Wow! I’ll bet the next few years will really be entertaining! Don’t you?

 
Will Rodgers, (bless his pea picking heart) once said he never met a man he didn’t like. Well and good for him! But! He never met some of the people that I have, or he just might change his mind. I have made contact with some of society’s best and also some of society’s worst. And this has given me very special insight into the true character of the human race. You just have to see humans at their best and at their worst to accumulate any viable sense of the true human condition.

Not every human being is good, and neither is every human being bad. However, many resist the innate good that is intrinsic to every human being. The thoughtful Creator (providing you believe in one) has designed the human being to be the superior in His earthly creation. The problem humans have with this is; the reluctance to do the designed good. Instead, they have a predilection to do just the opposite at times. The temptations of society are many, and they are compelling. The magnetic draw towards evil is in many cases, non-resistible. They just want to do bad things.

Now, to my point! Did you ever meet or see someone that you immediately disliked? I have! And on many occasions I have personally disliked someone from the start. Perhaps my cautionary upbringing sharpened my instincts! Perhaps monitory vigilance is also innate within the human to proceed with caution sometimes? Did you ever have an animal with instincts so sharp, that fooling them was impossible? I have had several such animals. Specifically a Collie! This animal always knew the difference between good and evil people. He was amazing! I observed this animal’s behavior when anyone came around. I wanted to see if our instincts were the same. And most of the time they were! His were always superior because of the heightened senses he possessed.

Watching the news recently, focused my attention on an individual that I just don’t like. I remember when this individual became prominent after the retirement of an individual he was supposed to replace. The Senator he was voted in to replace was a solid conservative individual. And, in my educated opinion, he couldn’t carry water for the person he replaced. I saw this new Senator as a very weak mealy mouthed person upon first blush. I just didn’t like him at all. And? My senses were and still are right about him. He should go back where he came from and try for county dog catcher; it would be at his talent level. (No offence to anyone that does this for a living!) He has just ascended above his upbringing!

What makes an individual great? Money? Breeding? Intelligence? No! Some of society’s best were neither rich nor were they from a pedigreed background. Some of society’s greatest success stories deal with individuals that never finished school, or even went to one! Some of the greatest came from the poorest of poor backgrounds. Some even had everything stacked against them that would, or most certainly could, limit or impair their success you could ever imagine. But; they ascended above their surroundings, accepted the challenge, and soared to heights unimaginable! That innate indomitable spirit prevailed! But one thing you will usually find in common with good successful people is this; humility! They must possess humility! We must be humble and not arrogant because of any success we might find or be given!

And because of this lack of humility, I find some are just not worthy to occupy high positions of authority. One of these is Hillary Clinton. Another, the one that I am writing today about is; Senator Lindsey Graham. Does absolute power corrupt absolutely? It can! I just don’t like that guy!

With the recent elections transferring some of the power to the Democratic Party, we can only wonder exactly where their allegiances lie. Are they as firmly committed against enemy aggression as were the Republicans? For the most part anyway! There are some pansies in the GOP; sad to say! What will this narrow Democratic victory bring? Capitulation? Cowardice? Head in the sand make it go away action? Treason? We should all be very concerned by this sell out party. Remember Bill Clinton selling/giving our secrets to the Chinese while he was President? Need I say more?

With the anniversary of Pearl Harbor and the subsequent retaliation for this blatant act of war, one can only wonder if there is a FDR in the Democratic Party. President Roosevelt did not want to engage America in any war with foreign powers, but; he had little choice. When we are attacked by another country, response must be immediate and final. The enemy must be brought to surrender, or utterly destroyed to every man, woman and child. There can be no compromise. President F D Roosevelt engaged the enemy because he had too. Where is President Truman when you need him! Insert Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, and Syria here for President Truman’s decisive decision against Japan. Get my point?

The weak minded candidates for the Presidential Office in 2008 are really a waste of time. I would have more confidence in a Girl Scout Leader than any of these fools! It appears that egos abound in this arena. The Democratic candidates really believe they are the anointed one? Hillary? Don’t make me laugh! She is really drop dead stupid! The only ones who believe she has any degree of intelligence, is the brainless (or as some put it, “the drive by media”) media who are trying in vain to create an intelligent Democratic candidate for President in 2008. This type of media is easily entertained. Just take a blank piece of paper and write over on both sides, and you will keep them entertained for hours. As far as any rationale intelligent reasonable individual would discern, the Democratic Party has fielded no real candidates. But again; with the dumbing down of America, maybe they don’t have too! Perhaps Homer Simpson would do?

We are not really safe within our own borders. The enemy has been invited into our society. We give them free education. We provide them with all of the necessary resources to continue their customs from wherever they originate. We accommodate their culture. We accommodate their radical religious practices, all in the name of freedom. This is allowed by many, and tolerated by some. America was founded with immigrants in mind. But, the forefathers expected change from these immigrants. They were expected to become Americans in every way, including customs and language spoken. English is the standard language for Americans.

With Pearl Harbor commemorated yearly, have we forgotten what really happened? Are we going to continue to allow an aggressive enemy to attack us again? Are we going to be attacked from within our own borders? It remains to be seen, but it is entirely possible! Perhaps, just perhaps, those quasi Americans that still want their former culture and customs would be happier in the land from whence they came. Just an idea!

If you don’t think our Constitutional Rights are being eroded away, you must have your head in the sand. Freedom of speech is a fundamental right for all Americans. But this also has some restrictions, i.e., you can’t yell fire in a theatre if there isn’t any cause for alarm. But; there is cause for alarm when some individuals want to stifle you where they are concerned. And this presents a real problem for America’s citizens!

The Democratic Party wants to stop the Federal Government’s wiretapping policies. Why? Because the protesting party members do not want their privacy invaded! This is all well and good, providing that is all it entails. But! I’m afraid there is more to this than meets the eye! Those who make the most noise sometimes have something to hide! "The lady doth protest too much, methinks." As per Hamlet! They do not want you to know who they are calling or what they are saying. They could be making or receiving dirty calls, also called phone sex. They could be betraying their company or the government to foreign agencies? They could be into pornography and want to keep the public from knowing about their salacious behavior? This would certainly apply to people of renown, like Congressmen, or Senators, Judges, or anyone in prominent office!

Yes, I certainly believe we should be able to say anything we want, but within reason of course. Litigious behaviors are useful tools of the, I can say what I want about you, but you can’t say anything about me crowd, or I’ll sue you! When realistically speaking, they do not want you to know the truth. So they use litigation as a silencing device when hard core truths are made public via press or audio media exposures. This is especially useful when you are a lazy no account that wants to capitalize via lawsuits for financial gain. Sort of like ambulance chasing lawyers. Seizing any opportunity to make money or fame, they are shameless.

Bill of Rights:

Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

So, now we see in World Net Daily, a lawsuit launched against WND and two freelance writers. The asking amount is $165 million. The core of the lawsuit is the 2000 Presidential elections. The party or parties involved are saying; because of these 18 articles concerning the vapid Al Gore and his record of corruption, he lost the state of Tennessee and thus the election. The suit is being brought by Democrat activist, Clark Jones. Any surprise here, a Democratic Activist would want to sue?

One of the core issues in this lawsuit revolves around the source/s of information that was supplied to the investigative reporters. Although the reports are true, it means nothing to the losers of that states Presidential elections. Gore just can’t believe that he was not elected President, and is now using this frivolous lawsuit as a tool of revenge. Now you can see one of the many reasons he is unfit for Presidential office! So! Just shut up, or I’ll sue you. And in Gore’s case, it would be vicariously!
