WHAT'S IN A NAME? NOT MUCH REALLY. BUT A SIGNATURE, THATS SOMETHING UNIQUE AND SPECIAL, AND BELONGS SOLELY TO IT'S OWNER



In a world where words and phrases like "melting pot" and assimilation have given way to words like "multi-culturalism" and "plural relativism", it is no surprise that the last bastion of individualism is being removed from this "everyone should be the same" society.  I can remember growing up in the fifties and sixties youngsters were being encouraged to "find themselves", express their own "individuality".  Today, societal pressures have a tendency to want everyone to be lumped together with everyone else.  Students are being taught that it's not necessary to try and excel.  Quite the opposite actually.  In academia and even in school organized sports children are being taught that just showing up for an activity makes you the winner, as in today's mind, there are no longer any losers. 
  Back in the day, before typewriters legible printing and writing were necessary.  Companies and individuals corresponded and kept records through the art of handwriting.  People were dependent upon their ability to communicate through handwriting.  Not everyone had the blessing of good "penmanship" however.  Penmanship was the true art.  It is what set one person apart from the others.  I mean if you were capable of penmanship that literally anyone could read, you were lauded.  Unfortunately with time, handwriting either printing or cursive gave way to speedier techniques of written communication.  A technique referred to as "Shorthand" was invented.  Shorthand was also an art, but once learned and mastered, the art of taking "dictation" was much more efficient and time saving in the office.  Today, words like dictation and Shorthand are seldom heard, and as far as I know never taught.  The advent of "Dictaphones" (hmmm, there was an invention) came on the scene making Shorthand a lost art.  In this modern age, we have texting on mobile telephones that has made one on one audible communication a thing of the past.  No more need for conversation, looking someone in the eye, face to face intercourse.  It's gone, it's all gone.  Why, these days employees are even being fired by email.  In my mind, a pathetic, cowardly thing to do. 
  Remember when a letter was fun to get, not necessarily fun to write but certainly a pleasure to read.  Letters usually came from far away places, from a soldier at war in a foreign land, a loved one who was home missing her boyfriend or husband.  The smell of her perfume (meant only for your senses) that quietly escaped when you opened the envelope, that contained news from from home and secret "I love yous".  Letters from mom and dad, friends who for a brief moment took time to write and let one know that they were in their thoughts.  The best thing about the letters, is you could tell by the "handwriting" who wrote the letter, you could recognize their style of penmanship.  Letters were not just words on paper, they were thoughts and feelings, dreams and disappointments, shared hopes, shared fears and shared love, conveyed from one another the only way an individuals special handwriting could convey.  Remember the fanciful "S's" and elaborate "A's", and best of all, the signature at the end.  Ahhh, that signature, it was the one unique and personal thing about handwriting, it turned a plain old name into a real tangible individual, identification mark.  Recognizable to the recipient of the letter.  
  Every one's signature carries with it a one of a kind flair.  It can be simple, or flamboyant, but it was one of a kind.  
  It grieves me to see that school systems in Indiana and Illinois will no longer be teaching mandatory cursive handwriting.  Without handwriting the individual person, then personality of the sender will be lost forever.  There has been only one thing that a reasonably educated human being has to their own individuality, and that was their own unique signature.  The pluralism and relativism of this modern progressive society is now stripping away one more of those identifiable individual traits that is the essence of personality.  Will our youngsters be taught that is no need for individualism, no flair, no flamboyance and no need to be unique.  I'm afraid that is what the long term ramifications of no-longer teaching cursive writing will be.  A sad, very sad day it is, when your child or grandchild signs your text message with a number not a name.
  So there you have it, the beginning of the end of individualism.  No more closeness felt through a handwritten letter.  The only thing our grandchildren will know are the cold block letters that show up on a telephone or computer screen. 
This has been a melancholy message from,

FLASH...CIVILIZED WORLD SUFFERING FROM RAPIDLY GROWING INFECTOUS CANCER...USA PRESENT TARGET...FLASH

While America and the rest of the free world slumbers, a disease of Biblical proportions is invading their society.  The diagnosis:  Passive Complacent Euphoria Syndrome.  Prognosis:  Demise; Imminent.

The most common name for this disease is "Islam" it's symptoms are creeping Sharia Law and Sharia Compliance by the victim.  This disease has a tendency to cause memory loss to it's victim, names, dates and important events are among these, i.e., 9/11/2002.

  P.C.E.S. (Passive Complacent Euphoria Syndrome) is a direct result of it's mental disorder affliction called "Liberalism".  Liberalism and P.C.E.S. are synonymous with one another.  P.C.E.S. cannot survive without "Liberalism as it's catalyst.  The combination of "Liberalism and P.C.E.S. result in the often times fatal progression of Islam and Sharia into free societies around the globe.  Islam is highly infectious and highly contagious, containment is not only risky to the victim but in most cases Islam will be resistant to any medication.  In order to stop Islam from spreading, Liberalism and P.C.E.S. must be prevented.  Already one third of the world has fallen victim to this triple threat.  Failure to recognize the presence of the disease is the most common reason perpetrating it's spread.  Unlike many physical cancers, Islam gives many ominous warning signs.  Islam touts what it's intentions are, tells it's victim how it will infect and take over, Islam's inventor even had it's intentions written in books, i.e., The Koran and Hadith.  Islam (the disease) has been an affliction on humanity for thousands of years, it has fatally destroyed many countries and societies throughout the centuries.  As far back as Aristotle who recognised P.C.E.S. gave his warning to all mankind.  "Tolerance is the last virtue of a dying society."  Little did he know how tolerance of evil would be so prevalent in our modern society.  How could Aristotle have known that free nations around the globe would actually embrace the barbarism that comes with embracing Islam?  He must have seen the signs, perhaps a message from God Almighty told him to warn America and the world of it's impending doom.  Either way, like other diseases of society throughout the ages, Islam is recognisable for what it is and for who it is.  If a disease can be recognised soon enough, it can be held in check, perhaps even cured.  Denial of a disease, will not make it go away or make it somehow less fatal.  Denial that the spread of Islam is the most impending and dangerous threat to the free world today, is nothing less than playing Russian Roulette with all the chambers loaded. 

  Islam and it's followers, "the Muslims", are deceivers, they will lie, cheat and steal their way into governments from local to Federal.  Islam will use America's penchant for honesty and fair play against itself.  The following are a couple of quotes from the disease itself:  "Our confrontation with America used to be like confronting a fortress from outside.  Today, we have found a loophole to enter the fortress and confront it from within." *Moammar Gaddaafi

Or, how about this one?  "Thanks to your democratic laws we will invade you; thanks to our (Islamic) religious laws we will dominate you." * Archbishop Giuseppe Bernardi of Izmir.  Last but not least:  "We will use American kindness, fairness, compassion, freedom of speech and non-discriminatory policy toward us.  We will then stab America in the back."* a nameless Muslim Imam.

  Islam, will not stop invading and destroying nations and societies of it's own recognizance.  Islam feels no guilt, it will progress until all the world bows to Allah.  Islam will take away all freedom of choice, it will tell you what to wear, what to eat, where you can go, and when.  Islam is the complete antithesis of the American Constitution.  Islam will not under any circumstances obey or adhere to any man made law.  Islam is recognisable, and it can be stopped, but not without a concerted and combined effort of all denominations of Christians and Jewish peoples throughout America and the free world.  Islam has a goal, and that is complete world domination, and they (the Muslims) are willing to die for Islam's cause.  The question, are you willing to die to preserve your freedom and that of your children and grand children?  If you are not willing to take a stand against Islam today, you are damning your future progeny to a lifetime of slavery to Islam.

  Take the medicine America, see the disease, and destroy it before it spreads.

WHEN DID SOCIETY REMOVE LADY JUSTICE'S BLINDFOLD???

Notice the blindfold, it's there for a reason!

I rarely comment on sensationalized current events, but this entire Casey Anthony drama has gotten under my skin.  For three years this tragic story of a baby girl's life being snuffed out has permeated every media outlet.  It has in recent weeks become part of every ones daily life, the case has been the main topic I'm sure at every company's water fountain and break room.  Opinions in cases such as these run high and rampant, it's human nature.  Listening to testimony one evening, and discussing it the next, is America's national pastime.  The whole thing plays out like a real live reality show.  The difference of course is that the result of this reality show, is that a person's life ultimately hangs in the balance.

  In the picture above, "Lady Justice" holds in her left hand a balance scale, in her right hand is a sword, and it must always be emphasised that she is blind folded.  The scales are where evidence, both pro and con are to be balanced.  This evidence is to be put forth in order to prove guilt.  Innocence does not need to be proven in America's justice system, as one is "presumed innocent until the burden of proof submitted tips the scales into the guilty direction."  The burden of proof is and must always be on the shoulders of the prosecution according to our system of law.  "Lady Justice" is blindfolded, because justice is to be above all corruption and must remain impartial, it is only through a preponderance of evidence of guilt that can remove a person's innocence.  The blindfold is necessary for justice to remain impartial.  In "Lady Justice's right hand is the sword, the sword is depicted to dole out swift justice in sentencing by the court/justice system.  It is my opinion that "Lady Justice" in this day and age should also be wearing a set of ear plugs. 

  There has been and always will be trials with verdicts that go against the very moral fiber of our souls and conscience.  However, we must always remember that just as many innocent people are currently doing time, as are the guilty who remain on our streets, having gotten off on some technicality.  Our system of justice is not perfect, only God's justice is perfect.  Human beings are flawed, there can only be one final judge, the Lord our God.  The Casey Anthony trial is one of these cases.  Unfortunately, it is also a case that shows how America's justice system really works.  The acquittal verdict for Casey is a direct result of a completely botched prosecution.  The prosecutors in the trial had no hard evidence to submit to the court or the jury that Casey Anthony committed 1st degree murder upon her own child.  The prosecutor should have known that he would never be able to remove Casey Anthony's innocent status under the law, and therefore should not have proceeded with arrest and trial before he was ready.  I can't help but think that the prosecutor in this case was hoping for a trial and verdict to come from jury of public opinion, obviously that tactic proved futile.  The jury in this trial had the wear with all to make judgements on the presented evidence, and not on public outcry or sympathy.  Evidence of Casey Anthony's guilt on the charge of 1st degree murder simply was not present in the courtroom.  It is my opinion that neither the judge or jury in this case are responsible for the outcome.  The burden of proof was on the prosecution, and they simply were unable to make the charge stick.  The jury in this case, instead of receiving the ire of the public, should actually be commended on their discernment of the evidence provided and their decision to acquit on that evidence and only that evidence.  In a true court of law, and in a jury room, there is no place for personal opinion.  I have no doubt that many, if not all held the same opinion as to Casey Anthony's guilt as most of America.  It is my considered opinion that she is quite guilty of either the murder of her daughter, or conspiracy in the murder of her daughter, and more than likely in one form or another did in fact aid and abet the act of murder of her daughter.  In actuality however, I have no proof of those accusations made against her and neither did the prosecution in this case.  My opinions are merely made up of theory and conjecture, and in our form of justice system, circumstantial evidence, theory and conjecture should not be considered sufficient to take a person's life.  Casey Anthony's behavior after her daughter went missing is appalling.  The fact that she repeatedly lied to law enforcement, and made up stories as to what happened to her daughter, certainly lends itself to suspicion, but in no way to her guilt in 1st degree murder.

  I do not feel that the jurors in this case should be allowed to profit from their written stories about what may or may not have occurred in the jury room.  That, in itself lends to suspect their integrity as jurors.  The simple fact that they may have discussed in the jury room "what verdict would afford all of them the opportunity to make more money off the trial", is just too repugnant.  Could it have happened that way?  I'm not sure, and that means no one can be sure.  (Now, there is another can of worms)!!!

  Profiting, from the deaths of innocent people, man, woman or child has always been prevalent in America and the world.  Stories about Billy the Kid, Jessie James, Al Capone and even Bonnie and Clyde helped many authors, both professional and amature become quite wealthy.  Many of those stories couldn't actually be documented.  Were they all factual?  I don't know.  Which of course raises making a profit on the death of innocents a moral issue.  Is it legal to write these stories?  Is it legal to sell inside information for profit?  The answer is yes it is legal.  In our society that is presently suffering from severe moral decay, is it moral?  According to our moral relativistic society, if it's okay with the writer, it must be okay and accepted by society.  Morality is a personal thing, I find it deplorable that anyone should profit over this loss of an innocent child.  Mark my words though, when the books and movies come out, people will be lining up around the block to read them and see them.   

  Condeming the jury in the Casey Anthony case is nothing less than killing the messenger.  Perhaps America should spend more time examining its morality instead.

THERE ARE TOO MANY VILLAGES MISSING THEIR IDIOTS!!!

ATTENTION JIMMY CARTER, CINDY SHEEHAN, LOUIS FARRAKHAN, EVERYONE ASSOCIATED WITH "CODE PINK", SEAN PENN, AND OF COURSE LAST BUT NOT LEAST RICK WARREN.  JUST NAMING A FEW WHO SHOULD HEED THE CALL, HEAR YE, HEAR YE, HEAR YE WILL ALL THE ABOVE NAMED USEFUL IDIOTS KINDLY REPORT TO THEIR RESPECTIVE VILLAGES?

This may come as a surprise to those Americans who remain in denial as to the intentions of Islam in the west.  Useful idiots such as those listed above, but not limited to those listed above are facilitating the demise of America, it's Constitution, it's laws, and it's freedom, including, but not limited to freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and of course freedom of thought.  Ladies and gentlemen, America and I dare say all of the western hemisphere are riding on the train to Perdition, and Barack Obama and his Muslim and Progressive minions are taking turns as engineers.  It appears to me that apathy and fear are fueling our Perdition bound train.  Fear mostly, I'm inclined to think.  Fear of what you ask?  Fear of Muslim reprisal, that's what.  Persecution of Christians and Jews never seems to incite violence, but the perceived persecution of Muslims incites violence every single time.  So, if you were going to throw someone under the bus, would it be the peaceful Christian and or Jew, or would it be a violent Muslim?  It's a no-brainer, isn't it?  The plain and simple truth, is that Islam scares the he** out of every nation and religion it comes in contact with.  Only once before in the 235 year history of America has our nation and our way of life been in such peril, and that would've been the rise of Adolf Hitler.  Many liberals and progressives will say that Adolf Hitler was never real a threat to America, but that attitude was wrong then, and it's wrong now.  America in the 1930's actually invited Adolf Hitler to New York, New York City actually gave Hitler the key to the city, and literally thousands of American citizens showed up at Madison Square Garden to celebrate and yes, even join the Nazi Party of America.  It was only Divine Providence that kept America from becoming another Nazi Germany.  In the '30s, America had Nazi Youth Camps throughout the Northeast, New York, New Jersey and I believe even Pennsylvania.  No my friends America was never that far away from becoming a Socialist, Fascist or Communist state.  It was the west's Christian principles and our faith in God that kept us all from falling into line with Nazi Germany.  America and many other western nations suffered great sacrifices of blood and treasure to defeat Hitler and the evil he subjected the world to.  Hitler's hatred for the Jews, didn't stop there.  Hitler also murdered  thousands of Christian too, there were many Catholic and Protestant believers that fell to the sword of Adolf Hitler before he was stopped, and his rain of terror ended. 

  Today my friends it's easy to see that although Hitler was stopped, his ideologies were not.  Many of Hitler's ideas are still quite alive and well right here in western society.  One need only read the paper or watch the news to see the new hatred for Jews that is being propagated throughout America and the world.  Look around and you'll see that once again the defiance of God is becoming the norm, especially among the young people.  You see, evil doesn't cease to exist just because it is ignored.  It grows quietly underground and in the shadows of society until it once again rears it's ugly head.  Today we have new Hitlers, many of of them.  We have the false prophets and churches that the Bible has warned us about.  The western world is for some reason embracing Islam and their false god Allah and rejecting Jesus Christ the only One and Living True Saviour.  I believe it is out of fear that Islam is being accepted so readily in our society.  People don't fear the God of Creation anymore, because they have been indoctrinated to believe that the one True God is passive, and that there are many ways to get into heaven, and they have been taught these falsehoods by  Christian priest and preachers.  Feel good religion feels good, that's for sure.  It isn't real however, God created hell as well as heaven.  The pathway to heaven is narrow and the pathway to hell is wide.  Hell was created because God knows that only those who have accepted the gift of salvation will make it through the narrow gate.  Both heaven and hell, are eternal, it is humanity's choice, I suggest we choose wisely.

  Do not be afraid to question the things you see and hear, if they go against the God's principles of good, then they are not good, those who do evil will suffer the consequences of their actions.  The God of Creation is not a mean God, but He is above all else a just God.  When the Lord doles out rewards and penalties at the throne of judgement, the rewards and the penalties will be permanent and eternal, of this make no mistake.

  "One can no more deny the existence of God, than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word "darkness" on the walls of his cell."  (C.S. Lewis)

PURVEYRS OF DIVERSITY AND TOLERANCE, WHY DO YOU HATE SO MUCH?

    It is at times beyond my realm of comprehension how the Leftist Liberal/Progressive can be so determined to purport love and peace and tolerance, while at the same time hate those who have a difference of opinion.  Isn't tolerance something liberals are actually proud of?  How can they be proud of their tolerance when they have none themselves?  How can the Left be so intense when they espouse diversity, and yet at the same time be so obviously narrow minded?  
  The other night on The Chris Mathews Left wing talk show, Chris commented on the content of a Michelle Bachman speech.  Because Michelle Bachman stated, and I'm paraphrasing here "America needs to get back to ideals of our founding fathers when they wrote the Constitution."  Out of that Bachman statement, Mathews derived this: "Oh so Michelle Bachman wants to go back to slavery!!!"  Aside from being a sub-species with the thought capacity of a moron, how could anyone get that conclusion from Bachman's statement?  It appears that if hate doesn't exist, the Leftist is somehow duty bound to find some hate at all costs, and if they can't find it, they make it up.  I don't know, does a Liberal lose their Progressive License if they can't sow some type of hate seed into any given situation?
  It is obvious that under the guise of diversity, the liberal left are nothing but true bigots in the very true sense of the word.  I'm not sure how someone can hate everyone else, but when listening to a leftist/progressive speak, I sure come away with that impression.  The liberals hated George Bush, they hate Sarah Palin, why?  Because Sarah Palin is not a victim, but a victor, and the left has no use for a conservative woman, especially one who is victorious in all she does.  The liberal left hates Michelle Bachman for the same reason, which means they hate her for no reason at all.  I mean what's more diverse than a woman or women who aren't afraid to take a stand for something?
  Sowing hate wherever there is fertile ground seems to be obligatory in order to retain membership with the Progressive crowd.  You'll notice that the liberals find their only strength when they are out-numbering there opponents.  I believe we call that a "mobocrity" (to swipe a phrase from Glenn Beck).       
  The one unmistakable attribute (if you can call it that) about the Progressive/Leftist movement, is that they have little discretion when employing equal opportunity hate all around the globe.  Their hate is not directed at any certain person, place or thing.  Their hate is distributed universally throughout the nations of the world.  I honestly feel that many Leftists are what I refer to as "blind leftists", these would be the people that will always follow the crowd, regardless of what the crowd is doing.  "Blind Leftists" have no ability to think and ascertain for themselves, what is right and what is wrong.  A little research would reveal the following truths about a "Blind Leftist" for that matter, any true Leftist Progressive will have or relate to these traits:
1.  They are Godless, unless you consider the worship of Big Government and entitlements a god.  Hence they do not have the ability to judge right from wrong. 
2.  They have no sense of responsibility, everything that is wrong in their miserable unhappy lives, is the fault of someone else, more than likely the fault of responsible conservatives who actually work, pay taxes, and last but not least defend freedom.
3.  All Leftists do have a propensity toward like mindedness.  They all share the opinion that they only, can be right about everything.  Which is in fact a contradiction in terms, as one cannot be right minded, and still be a leftist, and one cannot be a true leftist and still be considered to be in one's right mind.  Do you see my point here?
  The Left hates Israel, why you ask?  Because right minded conservatives stand by Israel, and that is in actuality the only reason they have.  The Left hated George Bush, why, because he defended our nation, and actually went to congress to get approval to attack Iraq and depose Saddam Hussein.  Do they hate Obama, no, why not?  Because Barack Hussein Obama is the official leader of the Left wing hate America and all that it stands for movement.  
  You see, it is because the Left wing, and their political party have absolutely NO distinguishable accomplishments, that it is necessary for them to vilify the Right.  The bottom line is, if you have nothing to brag about or be proud of, then your only recourse is to attack those who have made notable accomplishments throughout history.  The Democrat party is no longer the party of the people it used to be.  It has been infiltrated with Communist/Progressives and it caters only those special interest groups that can and do secure them wins in many elections.  The Unions, the Gays, the Blacks and the Hispanics, just to name a few.  It should also be mentioned that the Democrat party is doing everything in their power to court and get amnesty for Illegal aliens as this would be a feather in their cap, and more than likely assure a Presidential victory in 2012.  It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that their motives are strictly self serving, and in time they will throw all of their supporters under the bus, it's what Communists do.
  The world that the Left wing is building will not be one of peace and prosperity for all.  In fact it will be a world of poor and rich, elite and lowly, being a Progressive today, will not move one to the top of the Progressive food chain tomorrow.  The seats at the top are already spoken for, people like George Soros will be sitting in command central, not you.  The only thing a Liberal Progressive will be able to take pride in is; that they were instrumental in destroying the greatest nation to have ever been on the face of the earth.  Congratulations Progressives, enjoy your poverty, it is obviously what you wanted all along.  Hate will get you nowhere, and nowhere is where you'll be.  Satan will be proud, look what he's accomplishing.

THE PLIGHT OF ISRAEL

Are those the American Colors I see flying on that Gaza Flotilla Boat?

Yes, I do believe that the "Audacity Of Hope" Gaza Flotilla Boat has even more audacity than they can imagine.  Flying the colors of the United States of America, somehow lends itself to the assumption that this Communist/Islamic vessel has been sanctioned by the people and the government of America.  As an American, I can attest to the fact that myself and millions of other Americans do not support this affront on Israel by these radicals.  I seriously doubt that this invasion vessel even meets the requirements to fly America's colors.  Is the boat of U.S. registry?  Was it even constructed in the United States?  Has the U.S. Naval Department recognized this sea-going vessel as a vessel that represents America?  Even if all these requirements were met, I ask you?  Should a vessel displaying the colors of the United States be sailed into a confrontational invasion of another country's waters?  Should America sanction the colors of a vessel that will be carrying U.S. citizens into a purposely laid out plan to run a naval blockade?  Where does the U.S. government stand on this one anyway?  If Barack Obama feels that this running of an Israeli Naval blockade is something that must be done, then why doesn't he just have U.S. Naval warships lead the way.  Why is the President of the United States willing to allow citizen activists board boats to run an ally country's blockade?  Does Barack Hussein Obama have an underlying motive?  I content, that he has.

  It is common knowledge that one of the main organizers of this so-called "Freedom Flotilla" is none other than Amin Abou Rashed a known leader in the Hamas terrorist organization in Holland and a leader of the Muslim Brotherhood.  Also helping to organize this sea-going invasion to Gaza is Code Pink, remember them, they were the ones protesting the war in Iraq.  That's right, they camped outside President George Bush's ranch, protesting the war.  Of course, that was only because it was Bush's War.  Now that we have an obviously Muslim President there are no more Code Pink war protests.  As a matter of fact, I see very few "peace-nicks" at all anymore.  Is it because the entire anti-war movement was just an anti-Bush, and anti-Christian movement?  The facts are, that President Obama now has us in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya.  I guess that's okay though, as I hear nothing from Code Pink about that fact that more U.S. military have been killed in action since Obama became President, than any given period under George Bush's command.  But I digress, back to the "Flotilla".  Here are a couple of facts that the liberal press and media outlets haven't divulged to the public yet, and probably never will.  

1.  Israel only began restricting the supply of goods to Gaza in 2007 when Hamas took control of Gaza, supposedly by a free election.  It must be understood that Hamas has swore to Allah the destruction of the Israeli state.  So, wouldn't you have taken the same precautions if your next door neighbor avowed the same thing about your existence?

2.  Israel has made numerous offers to transport goods and aid to Gaza overland, as long as the Flotilla ships did not directly  reach the coastal territory themselves.  Israel and Egypt had an agreement that cargo bound for Gaza would be unloaded in the Egyptian port of El-Arish, and after being checked for security breaches then be allowed into the Gaza Strip for distribution.  Of course we all now know that Egypt has fallen to the Muslim Brotherhood (for all intensive purposes), therefore, the deal between Israel and Egypt is null and void, and that deal was revoked by the new interim government of Egypt, not by Israel.  

  So here is Israel's plight, what are they to do to ensure the sovereignty of their tiny country?  What other alternative do they have when their very existence is threatened, now, not only by their neighbors, but by countries that once were allies, and that, sadly includes the United States of America?  Israel is only doing what they must do, and Israel must do what they must do.  

  This so-called "Freedom Flotilla" is nothing short of a provocation to incite an Israeli military response, a trap if you will.  Unfortunately, if Israel is to remain a sovereign and safe nation, it may have no alternative but to step into the trap, knowing full well that any defensive action on their part will certainly bring about the wrath and condemnation of the rest of the world.  If Israel allows these Flotilla ships into Gaza unchecked, they will likely be allowing Hamas
  I pray for the safety of all involved, but I also know what I would do if I were Israel.  I would sink the first vessel that violated the blockade, and if the other vessels did not turn about, then all would be sunk.  There are really no innocent lives on those vessels, only idiots and ideologues who know full well what they are doing, and have decided to carry out their suicide mission.  Israel must stand, even if it means standing against the world.  With God on their side who can defeat them?  No one!!!
