Since I will be going onto the hospital for a day or 2 for surgery-if my son Elli has the time he will blog.
The tragic death of the 4 Israelis including a pregnant woman once again shows the attitude of Hamas and the other terrorist organizations to civilian life.
The only response is to catch the murderers,but at the same start building in the settlements in their memory.
The polls keep showing a 'WAVE' in Nov. for the Republicans.This is true especially in the House.Dick Morris and others believe 11 Senate seats are not impossible.Should that become true,the Republicans must act in a deliberate manner,to carry out a "grand scheme" re. Obamacare, the economy and jobs.They cannot let Obama set the agenda.
With 50,000 troops in Iraq, no stable govt in sight,and the violence still present,today is not a victory lap.There still can be a civil war,or new elections in the near future." It is not over until the fat lady sings."

ISLAMOPHOBIA / THE BECK RALLY
As a followup of the "Islamophobia" nonsense,Jonah Goldberg has published an interesting piece in the Aug 24th LA Times-entitled ISLAMOPHOBIA? NOT REALLY-
In every year since 9/11 he points out, many more Jews have been victims of hate crimes than Muslims.
It is the 70% of Americans who oppose the mosque who are victims of a climate of hate.An anti-Muslim backlash is a myth.
It will be intereting to see how Obama-Biden 2 opponents of the surge and Petraeus make believe George Bush was never there.
I read as many articles on the Beck rally that I could.Over and over was the issue of the color of the skin of the attendees."Almost all white" was the refrain .Yet I myself saw a few black families walking to the march.
Question.How many white faces were in the Sharpton rally?
The Beck rally was huge.I can't say whether it was 300,000 0r double that.The media tried to play it down.
Question- how many people in the Sharpton rally that he should get equal billing? 200 or a thousand?
I get nervous when I hear a mixture of religion and politics combined, even if it is kept sub-rosa.Nevertheless one cannot deny the underlying anger and frustration of the American people.
Lokking at Obama today, I think I felt an anger and frustration,that he cannot control the world or the Congress.After he spoke on the economy,the Dow fell another 50 or so points.

Radical vs Moderate Islam
One of the great fallacies in the war on Islamic terror,is that if we raise these people from poverty,and supply job opportunities,housing etc., they will not have time or a desire for terror.
The facts show otherwise.Osama Bin Laden comes from a mega-rich family with much social and economic power.His number 2 man is a physician.
Among the London bombers,were members of the medical profdession.(as were members of the Tokyo subway terrorists)
The Fort Hood shooter, was a phyusician and reached the rank of Major.One of those arrested this week in Canada in the bomb plot was a pathologist,who appeared on a " Canadian idol show".
These people are prime examples of individuals who have religious belief in radical Islam,hate our way of life and are prepared to destoy us if they can get away with it.
It is pure nonaense to believe that by protesting the mosque we help Al Quida membership applications.If we did nothing these people would still hate us and our way of life.
We talk of radical vs moderate Islam.My question is Does a moderate Muslim mean that they have not caught you yet being a radical?I hope not!We need to see moderates stand up and lead their people.
What we need to see is indivdual Muslims and groups really prove they are "moderate" by word and deed.That means Hamas,Hezbollah, Iranian radicalism, treatment of women ,terror, suicide attacks, and so on must be areas that demand their voices..
