J street again

The ZOA HAS EXPOSED THE CANDIDATES THAT THE J ST PAC IS SUPPORTING.
First and foremost are members of the Gaza 54These are members of Congress who wrote to Pres. Obama urging him to pressure Israel  from responding to terrorism emanating from Gaza.
Then there Sen Sherrod Brown of Ohio, who did not sign a letter signed by 76 Senatorssupporting Israel.
Some of the Cong. they are supporting include Lois Capps, George Milleer and Tommy Baldwin.
For a "PRO-ISRAELl' GROUP THEY KNOW HOW TO SUPPORT HER ENEMIES!

NICE TO SEE RASMUSSEN HAVE ROMNEY AHEAD BY 2 POINTS IN OHIO.

I OF COURSE AM NOT A LIBERAL FROM MASS. BUT I CANNOT UNDERSTAND HOW THE VOTERS ARE NOT TURNED OFF BY THE BALONEY OF THE PSEUDO-INDIAN HERITAGE OF``MS WARREN```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

unilateral west bank withdrawal / REFORM AND CONSERVATIVE CLERGY

The  statement  by Ehud Barak and seconded by Amos Yadlin should be condemned.
Basically they realize that the peace talks with Abbas are going nowhere,and the PA is unlikely to recognize  Israel as a Jewish State,and also will not give up their demands for Jerusalem and the 'right of return'.
Up to this point I am on-board.
However, they next say, that Israel should unilaterally withdraw from the West Bank and that is the end of the ball game.
PROBLEMS
1-Unilateral ANYTHING is looked upon as a sign of weakness by Arabs-Just wait out the Jews-they will give you what you want.
2-Unilateral withdrawal from Gaza gave Israel 2 things-
A- Israeli citizens whose lives were destroyed by the move
removing the IDF from near setttlements may present a security problem
B- the PA,Hamas etc and other groups will find it  easier to lob rockets into Israel.
The emphasis should be on expanding settlements-
THE HELL WITH A 2 STATE SOLUTION -

The decision to fund Reform and Conservative clergy in Israel is a sick perversion of Jewish Law and tradition.
These so-called religious movements have brought assimilation, mixed marriages, same sex marriages, egalitarianism and desecration of our Holy Torah.
No civil Court, no government has the power to recognize those who desecrate our Torah.
The next thing will be for some jokers to lobby for a "chief Rabbi from these groups.
Jewish History has witnessed such groups in the past,and as we pointed out a week ago, the documented history of secular, reform and conservative 'jewry' in America yields disaster when it comes to Jewish continuity.
The term 'Rabbi' eminates from the Talmud,and signifies adherence to halacha-that means shabbat-kashruth-taharat hamishpacha and adherence to the 613 mitzvoth.
It is a sad day,which I am sure the reform and conservative are enjoying.Their joy will not survive Jewish history.

SEN ROB PORTMAN / MITT ROMNEY / PUTIN

The upcomong trip of Sen. Portman to Israel again hi'lites the difference between the Reps and the Dems when it comes to understanding the needs of Israel sorrounded by a wall to wall sea of enemies.
The whole Obama charade with Iran is only mean to delay an Israeli attack.
As we said  previously, Obama has sent aid in the defense field .Howevever in the strategic political field, he has no feeling for the special realationship between the US and Israel.
If he wins the election, Israel is screwed.
Portman is a highly competent individual,schooled in Trade, the Budget as well as service in the WH, Congress and the Senate.
It is rumored that Romney will likewise go to Israel.

Tonite Mitt goes over the line to become the official nominee.THE RACE IS STILL VERY CLOSE,AND THE POLLS ARE BACK AND FORTH.
The attacks on Bain  while being cheered by the Dem Party leadership, may come back to bite them,as
they are attacking capitalism,even s they accept funds from the likes of Bain Capital.

Why Putin reversed himself, and turned a Russian ship back before they could unload their shipment of arms is not clear.
When are they going to turn Assad over to the INT CRIMINAL COURT as a War Criminal?

CHAG SAMEACH

I WOULD LIKE TO WISH EVERYONE A SHABBAT SHALOM AND A CHAG SAMEACH

job preperation / iran /pres. richard joel

Let ua examine Obama's criteria for becoming President.
A businessman?==NO
 executive experience--?
So it's not clear--therefore examine Obama's rise
community organizer,failed candidate for Congress ,State Senator with a record number of "present " votes,and a few tears as a Junior Senator running for Pres.
Oh yes 2 books about HIMSELF
NO PRIVATE -NON-GOVERNMENTAL BUSINESS OR EXECUTIVE EXPERIENCE.
SO WHICH PART OF THAT RECORD DOES HE BELIEVE PREPARED HIM  TO BE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF AS WELL AS STEWARD OF THE WORLD'S MOST IMPORTANT ECONOMY?

IT IS CLEAR, THAT THE P6 REALLY HAVE ONE AIM-NOT TO PREVENT AN IRANIAN BOMB, BUT PREVENT AN ISRAELI ATTACK.
AND, IF THEY CAN'T DO THAT, AT LEAST POSPONE IT UNTIL AFTER THE ELECTION IN NOV.


I have not had a real discussion with President Richard Joel of Yeshiva University for many years.Last nite at the alumni reunion I did have such an opportunity.
I know him from his days as National head of Hillel,when I served on the Board of the Jim Joseph Foundation, and we worked on a project together for HILLEL-NCSY.
When the Lanner scandel broke, I turned to him to head the independent Commission that was to bear his name.It was a difficult and thankless assignment.However he was a tough but outstanding leader,and he was able to stabilize an ugly situation.
Last nite, I was truly impressed as to how he has grown into his position.He is warm ,approachable and charming.
I once told him, that I feel partially responsible for his elevation to the YU Presidency, since the Joel Commission had so much positive publicity,that he was brought to the atttention of the search committee.
One  thing he said to me for which I am grateful  ---  -"you and I,--  WE saved the Union".

sheila's 50th / The Bain Experience?

Congrats to my wife Sheila, who tonite celebrated her 50h anniversary of graduating from Stern College.
We were disappointed that so few of her clasmates attended -however out of towners would have trouble getting home  for yom tov.

The WH has been attacking Romney by saying that the experience of a venture capitalist  making money for investors is not good traing to making jobs for people.
THE VENTURE CAPITALIST LEARNS HOW TO MAKE MONEY IN BUSINESS.IF HE CHANGES ROLES FROM PRIVATE CAPITAL TO JOB MAKER HE IS READY,
OBAMA HAD NO BUSINESS EXPERIENCE,AND IT SHOWS.
Obama is in way above his trainubg and understanding of economics.

IT IS LIKE A A USTTORNEY WHO PROSECUTES AND THEN BECOMES A DEFENSE ATTORNEY.tHAT PERSON WAS TRAINED IN THE LAW,AND KNOWS BOTH SIDES OF ISSUES.

zuckerberg and intermarriage / israeli electric car

I do not ( to my knowldge) own ANY fACEBOOK STOCK.
So, the financial stories of the IPO  while interesting, do not affect me.Nor am I unhappy when I see any person make it really big.
What I am sad about, is when such a prominent Jew, marries out of our faith.
Of course his children will not be Jewish (unless she had a KOSHER CONVERSION-UNLIKELY)
This is part of the followup of the blog I wrote about a week ago,as to what happes to secular, reform and conservative Jews.
The only future for the Jewish People in in the US is the modern and ultra-orthodox.

Along these lines,are the huge number of wealthy Jews,who to celebrate their success, contribute money to non-Jewish charities.I have no problem with all types of charities,medical,  humanitarian and academic. I support many of these.
However. above all, Jewish education,and pro-Israel political support, has to be the major thrust.
If we will not do it-WHO WILL ?

Sat. nite our shul showed a movie for Yom Yerushaluayimn. One of the features, was an ELECTRIC CAR DEVELOPED IN iSRAEL,that will have battery charging  and battery exchange areas to allow cars to go short and long distances.
Yesterday the Jerusalem Post reported that dozens of these cars hit the road this week.Shortly the number of charging stations will multiply.

Corey Booker / AID TO SETTLEMENTS

Quite a number of years ago, when I was OU Pres., Corey Booker came to my office to introduce himself.I don't recall who brought him,however he was a neophyte politician.Today of ccourse  he is Newark Mayor.
In the days of Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, he was a breath of fresh air for the black community leadership.,
I found him open and fair minded.He also had a great deal of understanding of the political needs of the Jewish community (and Israel)
If he runs in the future for Lautenberg's seat his personality will come in handy.
Thus it was in character for him when yesterday  he blasted the attacks on Romney (he is a Dem.) for Bain Capital, and  for the attacks on venture capitalism by the WH.
Sadly later in the day, he sort of softened his stand , after pressure from the WH, but the "damage" had been done.

The action today by the Knesset to grant a 35% tax adv antage to new setrtlements on both sides of the Green Line is a welcome move. The opponents are correct that this is a backhanded method of supporting the growth of Judea and Samaria. However what with the Supreme Court being less than supportive, the EU on their back and the Obama Administation opposed to settlements, this is a creative way to  encourage growth.
The argument that it will hinder peace,or a 2 State solution is ridiculous.
Anytime Abbas wants to sit and negotiate without pre-conditions, Israel is ready.Plus everyone knows that there is no way that Israel will return to pre-'67 borders.

VIETNAM 2012

AS A VIETNAM VETERAN, I RECALL VIVIDLY THE ANGER IN THE STREETS DURING THAT PERIOD.
TODAY, OWS,AND OTHER 'PROGRESSIVES' ARE ONCE AGAIN TRYING TO OVERTURN AMERICA BY DEMONSTRATING IN CHICAGO AGAINST NATO
PEACEFUL DEMONSTRATIONS IS THE AMERICAN WAY.THIS BORDERS ON ANARCHISM, AND IIT IS INTERESTING THAT IT IS AN OBAMA SPONSORED MEETING.BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE ARE OPPORTUNISTIC VULTURES.
I NOTED THAT THE MEETING THE OTHER DAY OF JP MORGAN HAD NOISY DEMONSTRATORS OUTSIDE.FROM THEIR DRESS, IT DID NOT APPEAR THAT THESE PEOPLE LOST ANY MONEY WITH THEM.
IT ALWAYS AMAZES ME ==WHO PAYS FOR THESE "PROFESSIONAL DEMONSTRATORS"?

the 99% / facebook -from me they won't make money

To hear the Dems carry on , they are the middle class protecting the world from these bad Republican one percenters.
This class warfare is so ludicrous.
President Obama is now worth 10 million dollars.
Elizebeth Warren, (Pohcahontis) about the same amount.
V.P. biden has a  "MIDDLE CLASS " mansion in Wilmington worth 2.865 million
The heads of most of the large Unions that supporty OWS, and fight against the GOP on economic issues all have salaries,  benefits that range between 300,000 to a million  dollars
John Kerry  is a well known multi-multi millionaire(? BILLIONAIRE) WITH HIS WIFE OF THE  
HEINZ FORTUNE
AND SO IT GOES!~

I know I am old fashioned.Yes I do have an I-Phone which I use poorly.I can use the internet enough to read political blogs, answer e-mails and of course write this blog.
Howevever, I do not understand why anyone would want to be on Facebook. '

Today Sheila recieved an e-mail from some young apparatchik from her College, who invited her (or me) to keep in touch by Facebook. Why? THEY ARE NOT FRIENDS OR ACQAINTANCES.
In general I do not like this "MODERN" METHOD OF SENDING AN E-MAIL  for a wedding invitation,or  to discuss a serious or trivial matter.
To me, I like to hear the voice of the person.I want to grade sincerety, honesty and not be treated like one in a hundred "friends"
I am not tralking about schul announcements, reminders for meetings etc.
Howevever in general the personal touch is gone.
When I get an e-mail , CHAIM YANKEL wants to meet you on Facebook, I ask why? MY phone is listed.
I have not heard from this person in 10-30 years.
I guess as I said I come from another generation.Perhaps in another decade or two, the old fogies like me will be gone-OR perhaps people will ask "why do I have to write my personal thoughts and actions(when I go to the bathroom) for public consumption.Who is interested?If they are REALLY interested,let them pick up the phone,and let's talk or better yet have a cup of coffee.

WISCONSIN / A GIFT FOR ABBAS

TODAYS  POLL NUMBERS FROM WISCONSIN SHOW GOV. WALKER  PULLING AHEAD WITH A 6 POINT LEAD OVER BARRETT THE DEM CANDIDATE.
This same poll had them even a few wks ago.
If as it seems Walker is going to win,it will be a major blow to Union power.
First  their previous recall shtick did not change anything in the Capital.
Then they lost the attempt to remove the Chief Justice of the Court.
Then their candidate for Gov. in the primary lost.
iF wALKERT AND THE GOP WIN, IT WILL BE A SIGNAL TO OTHER sTATES, THAT IF YOU STAND TALL YOU CAN BEAT THE  UNIONS.
YERSTERDAYS OP-ED IN THE WSJ, CHRISTIE VS BROWN CLEARLY SHOWS HOW THE BUDGET DEFECITS WILL BE ABLE TO BE BROUGHT UNDER CONTROL WITH TAX REDUCTION, AND REIGNING THE POWER OF THE UNIONS

THE DEAL TO END THE HUNGER STRIKE IN ISRAELI PRISONS  WAS SIGNED YESTERDAY
WITH THE HELP OF THE EGYPTIAN GOVT.
IT WAS STATED, THAT ISRAELI COMPROMISES WERE A "PRESENT" FOR ABBAS
HIS ACTIONS AND WORDS IN THE INTERNATIONAL ARENA DESERVES NO FREEBIES FROM ISRAEL.
I SAID YESTERDAY I WAS CLEANING OUT MY OLD PAPERS.I CAME ACROSS A LARGE OP-ED THAT WAS PUBLISHED IN THE JEWISH PRESS. I ENTITLED IT  " ARAFAT WITH A SUIT"
NOTHING I WROTE THEN HAS CHANGED.
NETANYAHU FOOLS HIMSELF BY THINKING ADDING MOFAZ OR MAKING POLITICAL GESTURES WILL CHANGE THE SITUATION.
WITH THE ME ON FIRE,YEMEN, BAHRAIN SYRIA AND IRAN TO NAME A FEW HOTSPOTS WHERE CIVIL LIBERTIES ARE ENDANGERED, THE EU FOR 2 DAYS IN A ROW BLASTS ISRAEL. THEY INCLUDE IN THEIR ANTI-ISRAEL DIATRIBES  PROPOSED KNESSET LEGISLATION THAT NEVER WAS PASSED.
WHY DON'T THEY LOOK AT THE RISE OF R AND L WING PARTIES IN RECENT EUROPEAN ELECTIONS.?  

BAIN VS GM

THE AD BY THE OBAMA PEOPLE IS PATENTLY FALSE AND MISLEADING-AND THEY KNOW IT.
1- IN A CAPITALIST SYSTEM SOME BUSINESSES SUCCEED-OTHERS FAIL
2-AS IN THE MORGAN STANLY CRISIS-AS MAYOR BLOOMBERG NOTED -RISK AND POSSIBLE FAILURE ARE AT THE CORE OF OUR SYSTEM (AS IS PROFIT)
3-BAIN WAS  A PRIVATE COMPANY-MEANT TO TAKE FAILING BUSINESSES AND MAKE THEM PROSP[ER.THEY USED PRIVATE FUNDING,AND THEIR GOAL WAS TO MAKE MONEY FOR THEIR INVESTORS.THEY HAD NO OBLIGATIONS RE THE WORK FORCE.HOWEVER, MOST OF THE TIME THEY SUCCEEDED,AND WORKERS BENEFITTED.
3-THE STEEL PLANT PORTRAYED FAILED 2 YEARS AFTER ROMNEY LEFT BAIN.HE WAS WORKING TO SAVE THE WORLDS FAIR THAT WAS FAILING AT THE TIME THE WORKER PORTRAYED WAS FIRED.
OF NOTE THAT WAS A PERIOD WHEN MANY STEEL PLANTS FAILED.
4-PRESIDENT OBAMA SPENT TAXPAYER MONEY, TO SAVE GM AND CHRYSLER--.THOUSANDS OF INDIVIDUALS IN CAR DEALEERSHIPS WERE ARBITRARILY LAID OFF.
MANY OF THE HIRED WORKERS (45%) ARE IN EUROPE
MANY BONDHOLDERS ILLEGALLY LOST THEIR VALUE, AS OBAMA REWARDED THE UNIONS WITH SHARES OF THE COMPANY
THE COMPANIES STILL OWE HUGE AMOUNTS TO THE TREASURY.
HOW MANY JOBS HAVE BEEN LOST AS COMPANIES WITH DEM. "PROTECTSIA" LIKE SOLYNDRA FAILED AFTER FEDERAL FUNDS WERE GIVEN?
I GUESS IF YOU KEEP ATTACKING YOU WILL CONVINCE SOME PEOPLE!

POSTSCRIPT

AFTER I BLOGGED TODAY, MY WIFE WHO  HAS BEEN AFTER ME TO THROW OUT MY OLD PAPERS AND FILES STARTED GIVING ME SOME TO LOOK AT AND PERHAPS DISCARD.
I CAME ACROSS A LETTER DATED AUG 7, 1997 SIGNED BY ANTHONY GORDON AND RICHARD HOROWITZ AUTHORS OF THE FAMOUS STUDYABOUT THE FATE OF JEWISH FAMILIES.
EVIDENTLY I HAD QUOTED THEIR STUDY IN TESTIMONY BEFORE THE KNESSET.
THEY WROTE
"THE SITUATION IS MUCH WORSE THAN YOU QUOTED IN THE KNESSET.
100 CONSERVATIVE JEWS REDUCE DOWN TO 24 IN 3 GENERATIONS (NOT 4 ) (-AS I PROBABLY MISQUOTED) THE REFORM ARE EVEN WORSE WITH 100 REDUCING DOWN TO 13 IN 3 GENERATIONS "

THE STUDY SHOWS SECULAR JEWS HAVE 5 AFTER 2 GENERATIONS.
 CENTRIST ORTHODOX 346 AFTER 3 GENERATIONS  AND HASIDIC-2,587 AFTER 3 GENERATIONS.

THERE IS NO REASON TO BELIEVE THAT ANYTHING HAS CHANGED FOR THE BETTER IN 15 YEARS.
THUS MY THOUGHTS ARE NOT IDLE ORTHODOX PROPOGANDA.

REVERSE BIAS

LAST NITE DON LEMON  OF CNN HAD THE MOST DISGUSTING , BIASED , NARROW AND INFLAMMATORY REPORT I HAVE EVER SEEN ON A "NEWS "SHOW.
IT WAS ENTITLED "WHAT WILL THEY SAY IN 20 YEARS?"
IT STARTED WITH THE VOICE OF GOV GEORGE WALLACE " SEGREGATION TODAY, SEGREGATION TOMORROW, SEGREGATION FOREVEVER" -THIS IN A LOUD OBNOXIOUS VOICE.
THIS WAS FOLLOWED  BY A WALLACE STATEMENT YEARS LATER, TAKING BACK HIS RACIST HARANGUE.
SWITCH TO TODAY TO THE OPPONENTS OF GAY MARRIAGE-AND THEN WHAT WILL THEY SAY IN 20 YEARS WHEN THEY APOLOGIZE(FOR THEIR BIGOTED  APPROACH).

THE THEME -THOSE WHO ARE OPPOSED TO GAY MARRIAGE LIKE GEORGE WALLACE WAS TO DESEGREGATION ARE BIGOTS, BUT WILSEE THE LIGHT IN 20 YEARS.

MR LEMON NEVER HEARD OF MORALITY AND ETHICS BASED ON THE OLD TESTAMENT-OUR TO TORAH-WHICH IS NOT 20 YEARS OLD-BUT OVER 3000 YEARS OLD.
LONG AFTER MR LEMON WILL BE PART OF THE DEGENERATION OF AMERICAN SOCIETY, OUR TORAH STANDARDS WILL BE STANDING TALL.
YES THEY WILL BE UNDER ATTACK FROM THE LEFT-REFORM  BUT THESE jEWS WHOSE PROGENY ARE INTERMARRYING AT A FAST RATE,WILL NO LONGER  BE  A SERIOUS FACTOR IN THE GROWTH OF THE JEWISH NATION.
LET ME CONCLUDE WITH A WORD FROM THE SERMON OF RABBI NEIL WINKER OF THE YOUNG ISRAEL OF FORT LEE.
HE NOTED THAT A WOMAN "RABBI" ON THE WEST COAST HAD A CEREMONY IN TEMPLE BLESSING DOGS.HE COMMENTED ON THE FACT THAT WE HAVE BAR,BAT AND NOW BARK MITZVZAH.
ONLY IN AMERICA.

KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE TARGET!

THE ATTEMPT BY OBAMA AND HIS TEAM TO BRING UP EVERY GARBAGE IN THE WORLD TO BEFUDDLE AMERICA WON,T WORK.
This whole same sex marriage thing was forced on Obama because 1 in 6 of his "bundlers" is gay.
It is interesting that between 3-4.5 people per thousand are listed as gay or interested in gay"marriages.Yet despite State after State voting to prevent this abomination, the left continues.
Similarfly the Wash Post ridiculous story about Romney's teen age years,to a boy who is dead,with a witness who admits he was not there, and a FAMILY THAT DENIES  the whole thing, is but another page 1 distraction.(WHAT ABOUT OBAMA AND DRUGS?)
In the end it is all a Obam-team effort to have Americans forget the economy-the debt -jobs and so on.Romney understands this, and wisely has not responded except on the economy.
IT'S THE ECONOMY STUPID IS MORE THAN EVER THE MOTTO.

MORALITY-FAMILY VALUES / ROMNEY AS A TEENAGER

MORALITY IN MODERN PARLANCE IS RELATIVE.
WHEN WE WERE YOUNG, IF SOMEONE HAD A BABY BEFORE MARRIAGE IT WAS A "SHANDAH" -A SHAME.
Today it's no big deal.Similarly living together sans marriage-today it is the "norm."
Yet until the sexual revolution, all religions understood and agreed that the Bible/(Torah) was the source of a way of life that has kept our civilization in good stead.
I served my career as a colo-rectal surgeion ,and of course had my share of homosexual individuals.I treated them fairly,and they reciprocated.It was no big deal.
Today, with Hollywood and the progressive left of the Democratic Party, this condition is a civil rights cause.
What they have done is destroy family life, and its sanctity.They paint those of us who have religion as biased, ignorant, anti-human rights etc. They aim to place us on the defensive.
Our task through the ballot box,our places of worship regardless of religion, is to band together and subject them to the beating  they deserve.
ENOUGH OF THIS CONSTANT EFFFORT TO BREAK DOWN OUR MORALITY.
THE TEA PARTY IS AIMED AT FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY.
WE NEED A FAITH BASED ANSWER THAT WILL MOBILIZE OUR MEMBERS TO COME OUT TO VOTE,SEND THE OBAMAS AND THE PELOSIS PACKING.

WHEN I HEARD ABOUT THE CHARGES OF A TEEN-AGE PRANK BY ROMNEY ( OBAMA HAD HIS SHARE OF ADVENTURES) I AM REMINDED OF AN INCIDENT-WHICH I RECORDED IN MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY WHERE I SENT A CRAZY POSTCARD TO OUR LANDLADY.SHE COMPLAINED TO THE POSTAL AUTHORITIES,WHO TRACKED ME.
I WAS FORCED TO WRITE AN APOLOGY ETC. AND AFTER 2-3 YEARS THE RECORD WAS TORN UP.
A GOOD THING I AM NOT A CANDIDATE FOR PUBLIC OFFICE-WHEN THEY GO BACK TO THE CRADLE  OR AS IN MASS. COMPLAIN THAT  SEN. BROWN'S "HOLE-IN-ONE" SHOT ON THE B ASKETBALL COURT VIOATED FEDERAL CAMPAIGN LAWS-IT IS NO WONDER PEOPLE SHY AWAY FROM RUNNING FOR OFFICE.  

"EVOLVING"

THE EVOLVING POSITION OF OBAMA STARTING WITH HIS CANDIDACY FOR LOCAL OFFICE IN CHICAG( HE FAVORED SAME SEX "MARRIAGES)  TO PRES CANDIDATE-TO PRES TO BEING PUT IN A POSITION BY BIDEN AND LEFT WING PROGRESSIVES TO GET OFF THE POT AND REVEAL HIS TRUE COLORS IS QUITE AMAZING.
THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE AFTER YESTERDAYS VOTE IN N.C..THE MEDIA QUOTES A POLL SHOWING AMERICANS NOW FAVORING THIS POSITION.I WOULD BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT THAT STATEMENT.
31 STATE HAVE AMENDMENTS TO THEIR CONSTITUTION AGAINST SUCH IMMORAL ACTIVITY.
THE LEFT WING MEDIA CONSTANTLY PUSH THIS AGENDA.READ THE NY TIMES,AND YOU WOULD THINK 2 OF 3 PEOPLE ARE GAY.
LET'S SEE WHAT THE REACTION IS IN NOV.
LET'S SEE HOW THE CATHOLIC COMMUNITY RESPONDS TO THE ANTI-CATHOLIC APPROACHES OF THIS ADMINISTRATIOIN.
LET'S SEE HOW MOBILIZED WILL THE EVANGELICAL COMMUN ITY NOW BE TO DEFEAT OBAMA.
THE FAITH -BASED COMMUNITY-INCLUDING BLACK AND HISPANICS CANNOT BE HAPPY WITH SUCH A MOVE. PERHAPS LEFT WING JEWS INCLUDING REFORM MIGHT BE SATISFIED, BUT THEY ARE VOTING FOR OBAMA ANYWAY,
IN ANY CASE  THIS IS A SAD MOMENT FOR OUR COUNTRY WHICH WAS FOUNDED ON ETHICS AND MORALITY.TO REDEFINE MARRIAGE AS ANYTHING OTHER THAN A UNION OF A MAN  AND WOMAN IS HARD FOR ME TO CONCEPTIALIZE.

60-40

SINCE  WE HAD A TOUGH DAY TODAY ATTENDING 2 FUNERALS, I INTEND JUST TO HIGHLIGHT  THE 2 MOST IMPORTANT RACES SO FAR REPORTED

MURDOCH 60- LUGAR 40
N CAROLINA- THE VOTE TO PASS THE MARRIAGE AMENDMENT  60-40

WHY BIDEN AND THE WH THINK A SAME SEX PLANK IN THE DEM. PLATFORM IS A WINNER, IS BEYOND ME

THE INDIANA LOSS FOR LUGAR IS A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

THA APPOINTMENT OF MOFAZ TO THE INNER CABINET MEANS BARAK, YAALON, MOFAZ AND 1 OR 2 OTHER FORMER GENERALS ARE NOW IN POSITION TO NEGATE OLMERT  AND THE FORMER SECURITY OFFICIAL QUESTIONIN IRAN'S MOTIVES

UNBELIEVABLE-ONLY IN ISRAEL

THE ANNOUNCEMENT A FEW MINUTES  AGO OF A CANCELLATION OF ELECTIONS IN ISRAEL-AND A  LIKUD -KADIMA NATIONAL UNITY GOVT-IS SIMPLY UNREAL.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
COULD THIS BE A UNITY GOVT PRIOR TO ATTACKING IRAN?
AFTER MOFAZ PROMISED HE WOULD NOT JOIN A UNITY GOVT----THIS!

dick lugar / latest polls

It appears that Sen. Dick Lugar will go down to defeat in the primary.The Senator was twice Chairman of the Foreign Relations Comm.and  during his long career did not have a home in his state. Rather, he lived  in Washington and while mildly conservative surely has reached a point where he is out of touch with his constituents and the economic needs of the country.
For us,he was never a true friend of the USA-Israel relationship,and I will be glad to see him go.
If the GOP wins the  Senate, Lugar would be in line for his old Chairmanship.


There are lots of political surveys.Almost all of them question registered voters.However, Rasmussen only polls those who are registerd AND plan to vote.That is why his record has been so terrific.
Today he has Ropmney up by 2 points.

FRENCH ELECTIONS / OWS

IT IS TOO EARLY TO KNOW THE TRUE EFFECT  OF THE FRENCH ELECTION ON ISRAEL.
SARKOZY WAS CONSIDERED A FRIEND, AND EVEN ON THE SAME PAGE AS ISRAEL RE; IRAN
What will happen with germany re the austerity program and the future of the Euro is hard to predict.

what this portends for Obama, with our economy down the tube, NO record to run on, and a lot of partisan divide  rabblerousing -again we shall see.

The recent May Day OWS rallies were less than successful.For the life of me, I don't understand why a young man flie in from Honolulu to participate  in the N Y event-who paid the air fare?
How come these charachters have not picked on Hollywood-? millions of dollars  a luxurious life etc/
OR BALL PLAYERS -WORK 6 MONTHS, A FEW HOURS A DAY MAKING MILLIONS.
 

NEW ELECTIONS / ANN'S CLOTHING / INJUN WARREN

THR QUESTION ASKED -WHY DID BIBI CALL FOR NEW ELECTIONS.?
OF COURSE HE IS WAY AHEAD IN THE POLLS.
OF COURSE LIEBERMAN THOUGHT HE COULD THREATEN HIM WITH LEAVING THE COALITION OVER THE TAL LEGISLATION-And was shocked to find himself hoping he will have a place in the next coalition.
OF COURSE KADIMA IS NOW AT A LOW POINT,AND WILL LOSE PERHAPS HALF OF THEIR SEATS.
BUT I BELIEVE THERE IS ANOTHER IMPORTANT ISSUE-NAMELY BIBI BELIEVES THERE IS A 50-50 CHANCE IBAMA WILL BE RE-ELECTED.IF OBAMA WINS, AND THE ISRAELI ELECTIONS  WERE IN 2013 AS PER SCHEDULE, OBAMA WOULD DO EVERYTHING IN HIS POWER TO DEFEAT BIBI.
WITH A MAJOR VICTORY UNDER HIS BELT, BIIBI WILL BE ABLE TO STAND TALL AND REBUFF OBAMA PRESSURE.
BETWEEN NOW AND THE ELECTIONS ALL " PEACE " TALKS WITH ABBAS WILL BE SUSPENDED.
WHILE BIBI WILL PROBABLY NOT WANT TO ATTACK IRAN DURING AN ELECTION CAMPAIGN, IMMEDIATELY AFTER SEPT  4 , AND 2 M ONTHS BEFORE THE US ELECTIONS, IF THERE IS NO REAL POLITICAL SOLUTION TO THE IRAN PROBLEM,THEN YOU HAVE A PERFECT TIME FOR AN ATTACK, AS WELL AS FORCE OBMA IN THE HEAT OF HIS CAMPAIGN TO SIDE WITH BIBI WITH WHATEVER IS NECESSARY. THERE WOULD BE NO PUBLIC OUTCRIES FROM OBAMA AGAINST ISRAEL

THE YENTERS ARE COMPLAING THAT ANN ROMNEY WORE A $990 BLOUSE-
REALLY! SHE DIDN'T STEAL IT.
HOW ABOUT THE SAME SOURCES DESCRIBING MICHELLE'S CLOTHING-NOT OFF THE RACK AT LOHMANN'S .

MS WARREN, THE "INDIAN -MINORITY CANDIDATE" FOR THE US SENATE SEAT IN MASS.  LOOKS PATHETIC IN HER INTERVIEWS-
TOGETHER WITH HER WEALTH, THIS IS ONE SUCCESSFUL INJUN!

ISRAEL MOBILIZES RESERVES / NEW SUBMARINE / A MUST ARTICLE TO READ

DRUDGE REPORT THAT ISRAEL HAS MOBILIZED  6 ARMY BATTALION IN LIGHT OF THE WORSENING SITUATION AT THE SYRIAN AND EGYPIAN BORDERS.

THIS MOVE WAS APPROVED BY THE KNESSET-IN ADDITION THEY WERE GIVEN PERMISSION TO CALL UP AN ADDITIONAL 16 BATTALLIONS IF NECESSARY.
I CHECKED ALL THE WEB SITES AND AS OF 2.30 PM NY TIME, NO OTHER SOURCE REPORTS THIS MOVE.

ON ANOTHER FRONT, ISRAEL IS PREPARED TO PICK UP A FOURTH DOLPHIN SUBMARINE BUILT IN GERMANY .THEY HAVE ALSO SIGNED FOR A 6TH SUBMARINE TO BE DELIVERED BY THE END OF THE DECADE.THESES CAN ALL CARRY NUCLEAR WEAPONS.THEY REPRESENT A SECOND STRIKE CAPABILITY.

IF ANYONE BELIEVES OBAMA IS A FRIEND OF ISRAEL THEN THEY MUST- MUST   READ
"CAPITOL OFFENSE" AN ARTICLE IN THE LATEST COMMENTARY MAGAZINE BY OMRI CEREN.
MOST OF WHAT IS WRITTTEN IS KNOWN,HOWEVER WHEN PUT TOGETHER IT IS AWESOME AND FRIGHTENING- SHOULD OBAMA WIN.

RACIST AMERICA

WHEN BARACK OBAMA RAN 4 YEARS AGO A A YOUNG BLACK SENATOR WHO PROMISED HOPE ,CHANGE AND TRANSPARENCY HE WAS ALMOST WALKING ON WATER.
WHEN HE WON NO ONE SAID THAT AMERICAN WAS A BIGOTED NATION.
NOW 3 1/2 YEARS LATER WITH THE ECONOMY IN THE TANK, OBAMA DESCENDING TO UNPRESIDENTIAL LEVELS TO ATTACK HIS "ENEMIES INCLUDING A NIXON-STYLE ENEMIES LIST,THE ENTHUSIASM IS WANING.
HE MAY ACTUALLY BE QUITE WORRIED ABOUT HIS CAMPAIGN,AND IS GETTING DESPERATE.
NOW THE WORD IS= AMERICA IS RACIST, AND SO ON.
IT WAS THE SAME CHARGE MADE AGAINT ISRAELIS WHO PRIOR TO THE LAST ELECTION WERE PRO-OBAMA BY 60+ PER CENT.THEY TURNED AGAINST HIM NOT BECAUSE OF COLOR, BUT BECAUSE OF HIS ACTIONS.
