For Christian American readers of this blog:


I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them.
We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any.

The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God!


A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate:

"Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)."

Thanks Jack!

I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet.

My friend, David K! Israel aggression and Muslim aggression

Israel and it’s Defense Force

In thinking out loud on February 20, 2013 at 12:47 am

Palestine Youth in the Crosshairs
This is a result of a combination of perpetual war, Israeli myopia, Israeli aggression, Arab Muslim aggression and the Arab/Palestinian use of civilians as human shields.
Both sides are guilty of dehumanizing the other.  I have had conversations with Israelis and with Palestinians.  They did not speak of “the other” as fellow humans but as targets to be killed.  They spoke of each other as enemies.  There was never a mention of reaching agreement or to coming together to solve the issues.  It was only winning the battle that mattered.  For Palestinians, winning is complete control of the Palestinian State.  For Israelis, it is the same but they rule the day.  There is no ending this stalemate short of a holocaust of one side or the other.
Israel did not come to this point on it’s own.
Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Iran all share blame in this ongoing tragedy.
The Israeli have allowed themselves to become their enemy. They’ve allowed themselves to morph into the same monsters that they fight.
That’s the shame of it.
Israel needs a sea change in cultural attitudes. Their policies with the Arabs need a thorough review and evaluation.
I’m of the opinion that the Israelis should back off completely. Withdraw unilaterally to the pre-67 boundaries sans Jerusalem.
Let the Palestinians do as they will.  Let time pass.  If the Palestinians still wish to fight, IDF can justify their actions.
Right now, Israel needs to back off.
It’s past time for change on this front.
I can no longer tell who is the terrorist and who is the victim.
All of that said, I can never support the creation of another oppressive Islamic State.  A Palestinian State as it stands right now would be another Muslim Brotherhood sponsored despotic Islamic State that oppresses all but especially targets non-Muslims.
Israel is wrong.  So is Palestine.
