Rosh Hashanna Sermon

Read the whole thing - and know why some are yelling into the blogosphere.  We who are expressing our concern are trying to prevent a wholesale slaughter.


Those who want a "two-state solution" are either liars, or the most foolish of fools; if that is imposed on Israel, Jews will be annihilated.  They will be murdered, with the sanction of the pro-Palestinian fools.  I call them "fools", because relatively few understand the depth of the Jew-hatred - NOT "anti-Zionism" - it's JEW-hatred felt by the Islamists of the Middle East, and now, Europe and the US.

We are at war. We are at war with an enemy as savage, as voracious, as heartless as the Nazis but one wouldn’t know it from our behavior. During WWII we didn’t refer to storm troopers as freedom fighters. We didn’t call the Gestapo, militants. We didn’t see the attacks on our Merchant Marine as acts by rogue sailors. We did not justify the Nazis rise to power as our fault. We did not grovel before the Nazis, thumping our hearts and confessing to abusing and mistreating and humiliating the German people. We did not apologize for Dresden, nor for The Battle of the Bulge, nor for El Alamein, nor for D-Day.

"War"?  Against all Muslim people?


No.

I have no bone of bigotry in my body, but what I do have is hatred for those who hate, intolerance for those who are intolerant, and a guiltless, unstoppable obsession to see evil eradicated.

Today the enemy is radical Islam but it must be said sadly and reluctantly that there are unwitting, co-conspirators who strengthen the hands of the evil doers. Let me state that the overwhelming number of Muslims are good Muslims, fine human beings who want nothing more than a Jeep Cherokee in their driveway, a flat screen TV on their wall and a good education for their children, but these good Muslims have an obligation to destiny, to decency that thus far for the most part they have avoided. The Kulturkampf is not only external but internal as well. The good Muslims must sponsor rallies in Times Square, in Trafalgar Square, in the UN Plaza, on the Champs Elysee, in Mecca condemning terrorism, denouncing unequivocally the slaughter of the innocent. Thus far, they have not. The good Muslims must place ads in the NY Times. They must buy time on network TV, on cable stations, in the Jerusalem Post, in Le Monde, in Al Watan, on Al Jazeera condemning terrorism, denouncing unequivocally the slaughter of the innocent – thus far, they have not. Their silence allows the vicious to tarnish Islam and define it.

Brutal acts of commission and yawning acts of omission both strengthen the hand of the devil. 

I'm Catholic; I understand about sins of omission.  Failing to act, when your action could save a life, is being an accomplice to murder.


I'm old enough to have known survivors of the concentration camps.  You only once have to see that blue tattoo with the diamond to imprint the horror on your mind - think of "bar codes" for the people who have been reduced to "things".  I will NOT acquiesce in the killing of Jews, even at the cost of war.


Never again.

Status of the Political Races

I've been following the unfolding political process, and have concluded:

This is likely to be an interesting year for watching politics

About 40 races around the country, both Congressional and Gubernatorial, are in the competitive category.  The outcome may well determine how the leadership of the Senate and House changes, or stays the same.

Spratt, of SC, is one of them.  The York region, District 5, is one of the few in SC that are reliably Democratic.  Spratt has served for many years, without serious opposition.

This year, he faces a tough race against Mick Mulvaney, a state Senator.  Why is that so crucial?

Spratt is the chair of the House Budget Committee.  If he leaves, whether the leadership of the House changes, it will be a new ball game.

This is Scary - And Just in Time for Halloween

Forget the vampires, witches, and ghosts - I'm reading Cruel & Usual Punishment - The Terrifying Implications of Islamic Law.  Talk about scary!

It was written in 2009, long before the Ground Zero Mosque controversy.  Here's what she has to say about mosque-building in non-Muslim countries:

Land acquisition for the purpose of building Islamic institutions is a major priority of the Muslim agenda in the West.  When majority non-Muslims start asking questions and becoming skeptical about the calls for jihad and jihadists using the mosques as a base for their activities, Muslim leadership starts claiming discrimination, racism, and misunderstood religion, suggesting that the host country needs an education in what true Islam and its Sharia mean

Gee, I dunno, that sounds VERY much like the noise being voiced by the Pro-mosque, anti-all-the-rest-of-America.

Immigration Legislation is Like Vampires - You Have to Use a Silver Stake in the Heart to Kill Them

You know, I'm really getting tired of these CongressCritters re-introducing legislation that the American people have told them, again and again, is NOT in our best interest.


It's almost like they think they have to over-rule the desires of the Dumb, Unwashed, Illiterate Electorate.  So our "Betters" can give us the government we're too stupid to know is good for us.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Tuesday he will add the DREAM Act, a controversial immigration measure, to a defense policy bill the Senate will take up next week.

The decision means the defense bill, which often passes with bipartisan support, will be home to two major, thorny political issues – the other being the repeal of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy.

Let's 'splain it again to you, Harry - we DON'T want illegal aliens to get an education (at discount, state resident prices) in public colleges; that education is subsidized by taxes imposed for the benefit of Legal Americans.


Those high school graduates, however high their rank in the class, got it FREE - which they did NOT qualify for.  Then, having sucked up public money for their K-12 education, they want a discounted education - as a RIGHT, not a privilege.


I don' thin' so.

"A People of Life"

From a sermon at a 9/11 victim's funeral (Barbara Olson):

A handful of terrorists commandeered four planes, crashing three of them, including Flight 77, into symbolic buildings, killing in the process thousands of real flesh-and-blood people with families. These terrorists gave their lives, and took so the lives of so many others, with no hesitation at all. Have Satan and death won?

What did Americans do when they heard the shocking news and saw the devastation? Did they take to the streets with signs and placards, marching with fists upraised, saying, “Death to terrorists!” No, they did not.

What did they do? They took to the streets–in search of places to give blood. In fact, in some places so many of them that there was a seven-hour wait to give blood. They took to the streets to bring food to those who were rescuing people. They took to the streets to go to church, to hold candlelight vigils, to pray.

We are people of life. And no terrorist, no matter how powerful, can take that away.
