I missed the original article about Sarah Palin's "witchcraft blessing." Today is the first time I've seen it. I couldn't watch it to the end.
That was not a holy blessing. It made my skin crawl.
The book of Matthew, Chapter 7. The speaker is Christ:
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Yeah, you are getting the gist of my argument. I'm not saying hanging out with anti-Israel crack pots will help you "understand" the middle east. I am saying that along with Jeremiah Wright's crack pottery, there was probably a fair amount of "perspective" in terms of literature and the like -- he also has been to the middle east himself -- so you can understand where they're coming from. Most Americans have no idea that Palestinians outnumbered Jews around 1948 or that the originals maps called for them to have a lot more land than today. A guy like Barack is more likely to know that than most, based on his church.
AS for other crack pots, I don't know what effect there would be. I am a white person, but I remember a kid coming to my high school more than 20 years ago and wanting our history teacher to teach about the crimes and atrocities by the Jews --crimes and atrocities he said he learned all about from his relatives in Chicago. South Chicago is that kind of place. Jeremiah was that kind of preacher. We have to hope Obama separated the legitimate from the crazy and will use the former to make peace with Israel.
How many Salloon members just read what we say and think about it rather than talk?
Who is listening out there?
90% of the posts are from Obamabots or Obamabot leaners.
Is anybody out there just listening and thinking?
Is this just a waste of tyme?
My favorite gospel song is "If I Can Help Somebody?"
Are we helping somebody, just one somebody?
Many Obamabots would like to see our country go down.
Others just project their liberal asperations onto him:
-How wonderful it would be to have a black president who looked out for all of us and who was wise.
Too bad they are not thinking of Larry Elder instead of the cipher, BHO.

John McCain would pay for his health plan with major reductions to Medicare and Medicaid, a top aide said, in a move that independent analysts estimate could result in cuts of $1.3 trillion over 10 years to the government programs.

Perhaps 25 to 50 per cent of the money flowing into his campaign and into sister organizations such as move on is coming from Jews.
Do you have any numbahs to back that up? You can start here:

Your argument seems to be that 'yeah, I sound crazy, but crazy people have been right before!". True, but they've also been wrong quite a bit. If I'm supposed to emulate one of those few intelligent readers you keep mentioning you should not be surprised at my skepticism.
The most profoundly disturbing point in this post is that anyone, Jewish or otherwise, thinks of Israel as "their child." Israel is a nuclear power, and its problems today as distinct from those in 1948, are that it is occupying someone else's land. To cast this as scenario as having to protect one's "child" is to be so out of touch with reality, regardless of how important sentiment is to human existence, as to sit squarely within the bizarre.
Second, the idea that "every vote counts" in Florida, while true enough, should not mean that candidates pander to a sliver of Jewish America--i.e. a handful of elderly Jews in Miami Beach.
Third, it's ridiculous to the point of absurdity for any candidate running for election in the United States to try and pander to any "love" for a foreign nation state, whether it is for Israel or one's long lost island of Cuba. No one should be pandering to people like those in the Cuban American community in Miami who would still like the greenlight to invade the island.
This is not politically healthy. Period.
Fuck the Jews. You know you want to say it. You know you do. So fuck em.
Floridian Jews: Every living Muslim takes great delight in your support of Barack Hussein Obama.
There IS a choice: If you can't bring yourselves to vote R ... then don't vote.
Lemmings you're not.
Since I know about Century Villages,having visited relatives and friends living in one of them (Deerfield Beech), I was heartened by this report on the change of heart toward Obama. I who am 77 and Jewish, never wanted McCain with or without ditzy Palin.
McCain is so conservative that he would select such conservative Supreme Court and other federal judges that would take away all of my rights as well as my children and grandchildren's rights.
McCain is also for war in places that will make a draft inevitable. Who at 77 wants their Americah Jewish grandchildren pulled into a draft for a war they don't want and don't need?
McCain should stay in the Senate!
