One comment: Crying like Paris, when Hitler moved in? Ouch. 😯 But, then again.
(via Bill O’s site)
Oh and….
Yes, I know I have a Israeli flag on my site in the sidebars, and yes, I support Israel’s right to exist.
But that support does not include support of Israel’s indiscriminate killing of American citizens.
To have someone’s support includes responsibility and so far, I’ve seen none of that from Israel at all.
Just letting everyone know.
Israeli Government Kills an American
This is a sad story, and I have a few thoughts about it.
Via The NYT:
JERUSALEM — An American opened fire in the dining room of a hotel in the southern Israeli resort of Eilat on Friday and killed a kitchen worker before being shot dead by police officers, the authorities said.
Micky Rosenfeld, an Israeli police spokesman, did not identify the gunman, but described him as a tourist who “might have worked” at the hotel, the Leonardo Club.
Mr. Rosenfeld said the man grabbed a pistol from a hotel security guard around 9:30 a.m. and fired several shots in the crowded dining area before storming into the kitchen, where he killed the worker, who also was not identified by the authorities.
The gunman then “barricaded himself in the kitchen,” inspiring police fears of a hostage situation. About 10:15 a.m., antiterror police units “moved in on the suspect and he opened fire again,” Mr. Rosenfeld said.
It turned out that no hostages had been taken and no one else was injured in the incident, Mr. Rosenfeld said, making it seem more like a workplace dispute than a terrorist attack. The circumstances of the situation and the gunman’s background are still being investigated.
Mr. Rosenfeld said he did not know where in the United States the gunman was from or how long he had been in Israel and for what reasons.
Now had this been any other Country, the State Department would be demanding answers as why they felt the need to kill this man. He was, after all, an American Citizen. However, because it is Israel, I can assure you that absolutely nothing will be done about this at all. The United States Government will NOT say or do anything at all to upset Israel. They will simply blindly accept whatever excuse, no matter how lame; that Israel hands to them. There will be no repercussions at all.
This is why I have an issue with Israel’s and America’s relationship. Because basically, the United States of America, has become Israel’s useful idiot and they can and do run roughshod over the United States, its constitution and in this case; its people. There needs to be a limit placed on what this Country can get away with; and it needs to be strictly enforced. However, when you say stuff like this; those who traffic in identity politics on the right, will attack you and call you an Anti-Semite. This typical of that crowd and it was learned from the Frankfurt marxists at Columbia University.
Let me be clear here; I do not condone the actions of this person at all. However, I believe that Israel could have take great pains to see that this man be taken alive, tried with American representation and an American council. Not treated like an damned animal. This is to be expected from a Nation; one that is not recognized by the United Nations. They are quite famous for running over our Nation and our people; this is just another instance of that.
Update: The suspect has been ID. He was a Jewish American. The victim was an Israeli Arab. I still feel the way that I do.

Quote of the day
Mitt Romney on Wednesday night turned in the finest debate performance of any candidate of either party in the 52 years since Richard Nixon faced John F. Kennedy, with the possible exception of Ronald Reagan’s demolition of Jimmy Carter in 1980.
But where Reagan won with style and quips – “There you go again” – and his closing line, “Are you better off now than you were four years ago?” Romney crushed Obama on both substance and style.
Mitt was like a contender so keyed up by his title shot that, between rounds, he could not sit on his stool, but stood in his corner to rush out and re-engage the champ the instant the bell sounded for the next round.
Obama was mauled, with facts, figures, anecdotes, arguments, jokes, quips. A smiling Romney was on offense all night. And the president’s performance seems inexplicable.
With the split screen showing his response to Romney’s swarm attacks, he appeared diffident, sullen, pouting, flustered, petulant.
Obama made no serious blunder. Yet, on the split screen, as Romney lectured him with a stern smile, Obama seemed a chastened schoolboy, head down, being instructed by a professor that if he did not get his grades up he would not be back next semester.
Speaking of crack ups
Good grief, first Obama’s campaign, now this.
I don’t link to twitchy too often, because I am not big fans of who work over there. But because of what I am about to report; I will make an exception.
It seems that Tommy Christopher has got a problem. If he thinks that telling John Podhoretz to “f off” is professional or even remotely not hateful or even anti-Semitic; he is quite mistaken.
Let me be clear, I’m no Podhoretz fan boy at all, but this reeks of desperation by the left. It also comes as no surprise, as the DNC was basically willing to kick Israel to the curb during the convention.
Chicago NAACP official threatened by Obama campaign staffer
This is quite interesting.
Via CBS Chicago:
David Lowery says he believes he was threatened during a phone conversation with Louis Raymond, the Illinois political director for Obama for America.
Lowery says he doesn’t personally support the president because he’s not addressing issues important to the black community. He said he was explaining that to Raymond when the Obama campaign official told him, “You know what? I know everything about you.”
Lowery says Raymond added, “We’ve been watching you, and since you don’t support Obama, we’ll deal with you,” before hanging up.
Lowery filed a report with the Oak Forest police report, he says, “in case something happens.”
If there is any sort of integrity in the Obama campaign, this staffer would be fired post haste. Could you just imagine the media press reaction, if a Romney staffer had said something like this to a media person; like Fox News?
This looks like a campaign crack up to me.
Race-Hustling is all the Democratic Party has anymore
I was looking at some of the incoming links to my old blog and I happened to notice something; some race-hustling tool linked to my blog.
What I am referring to is this article here, where some guy named Terrance Heath posting over on some liberal activist website; goes out of way to mention something that I did a long while back.
Some things that I feel the need to point out:
- I lost my cool during the vote for Obamacare, I admit that, I wish I had never tweeted what I wrote. But I did and I pulled the tweet, and the blog posting that I wrote and apologized many times over for what I wrote.
- Joseph Cao lost his reelection bid. Not because the Democrat running against him was anything really special. But because Joseph Cao put identity politics and race before his Conservative principles and because of that, Conservatives did not vote for him.
But, not of that matters; what matters to the Liberal Democrats is someone, namely me, in an unguarded moment and moment of anger, wrote something rather uncomely about a minority Republican, who pissed his Conservative principles, if he even really had any in the first place, into the wind and paid the political price for it too.
Which proves what I have believed here for a while now; the left has nothing anymore. The President they elected was a total and unmitigated flop. The policies that Obama promised failed and just last night, he got his tail kicked in a debate that exposed him for the two-bit fake that he really is.
I end this, with this thought here: I regret my actions of long ago. Now, do the Democrats regret that actually elected this buffoon of a President? Inquiring minds want to know.
Political Cartoons of the day
Videos: Clips from last night’s President Debate
As I told you, I did not watch the entire debate last night.
But, clips are coming out…..and boy are they good. Romney looked Presidential, even Reagan-like. No wonder Chris Matthews was losing his mind! Not only did Romney destroy Obama’s talking points, he spiked the football in the Democratic Party end zone! 😯
Here are some of the clips —- so far:
Here is Romney on Government picking winners and losers: (H/T HotAir)
On the Role of Government:
Here is Obama defending ObamaCare and the IPAB:
If I come across more, I’ll share them here, but so far, Romney’s got this sewn up. Judging by the snap polls and the reaction of the left; Obama does not stand a chance to win at all.
Stay tuned for updates.
Yuck: Horribly bad Conservative humor video of the day
No
NO!
NO!
That is not the way you make a funny video! This stupid stuff like this below is why people like this guy here, and this guy here; call people like me racist bigots and why the left calls Republicans/Conservative/Tea Party people racist bigots! 😡
I mean, the thing looked like it was produced by Stormfont’s Don Black or David Duke — minus the offensive language and racial slurs.
This comes via InstaPundit:
Here is the reason I say this: While white people might find this video to be humorous. Most blacks, with any sort self-respect; would find this video to be horribly offensive and blatantly racist. I am sorry, but painting the President of the United States of America, as a black man, who will not leave a White family’s home, is just wrong. Sorry, it’s the way I feel. There are better ways to make the point that Obama’s policies have not be good for the Country. But, not like this.
There is a way to exploit and mock stereotypes of this sort; this is not one of the ways to do it. The cheese factor in this video was just horribly bad. I was about a minute into it, before I had to shut it off.
Yes, it is THAT bad…..
We are the cusp of winning this election and someone has to pull a stupid. 🙄
If the right does not get this; then I am sorry, they have some serious issues. 🙁
