Knock-knock...  Is anybody home...  anybody at all....???

There are men out there, whose work requires from them to wear a uniform and who are risking their lives so that you, dear Reader, can lead a comfortable life here on mainland.

However, those men and women, are not like isolated mushrooms...  they are human beings just like you and I -but they go beyond the call of duty in order to protect us.  They decide to leave families, parents, siblings, and what’s worse, their wives or husbands and their little children, all in the name of duty.  Therefore, all of us, American civilians, have a responsibility vis-à-vis  our men and women in uniform and their families.

The very possible reelection of Barrack Obama for another four years as President of the United States is frightening the living daylights out of Americans. So, they are buying up guns and ammunition at yet another record rate just as they did in 2008. There are already shortages of weapons and ammo in parts of the country.  

As folks have observed the Republican primaries, watched the debates, and considered the polls, they are becoming more and more convinced that not only will the republican candidate for President lose, but he will lose big.

Warriors of God: Inside Hezbollah’s Thirty-Year Struggle Against Israel, by Nicholas Blanford (Random House, 544 pp., $30) 

The only reason Israel has been able to survive in the Middle East, and even to flourish there, is because its enemies’ armies are incompetent. When asked how and why Israelis win every battle, the celebrated general Moshe Dayan said it’s because they fight Arabs. “We’re a feuding people, not a warring people,” Lebanese historian Kamal Salibi said to me once in Beirut. “We haven’t been good at war for hundreds of years.” If Arabs could fight as effectively as, say, the Russians, Israel would have ceased to exist long ago.

We should stop enmeshing ourselves ever deeper in the Muslim morass.

We will hold sacred the beliefs held sacred by others.” 

That’s the concluding rally cry of the U.S. Department of Defense’s newly issued guidance on the “Proper Handling and Disposal of Islamic Religious Materials — Service Members/Civilian Training.” Here’s how it works:

Mainstream Muslims throughout the Middle East believe, based on the Koran and other “Islamic Religious Materials,” that if an infidel force invades a Muslim territory, its members must be killed until the force has been driven out. They further believe that if non-Muslims commit some act — even an inadvertent one — that Muslims perceive as insulting to Islam, a campaign of murder and mayhem is justified.

The Electric DC Car Test

It seems as if the Obama Administration will mainly be remembered for two things. Turning over the entire Middle East to the Muslim Brotherhood and badly mishandling the automotive industry.  Controlling what cars people own and how they work is a basic means of social control. Trying to seize control of the industry was a golden opportunity for the nudgers to nudge us into our corner. But the post-bailout GM is acting like the pre-bailout GM, senselessly buying up pieces of foreign car companies that it doesn't actually need, but this time it's doing it in the name of the sustainable energy mantra.

“The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want...   Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for you are with me; your rod and your staff comfort me...”   Psalm 23, King David of Israel

Purim is one of the most joyous and fun holidays on the Jewish calendar. It commemorates a time when the Jewish people living in Persia were saved from extermination.  And, of all the stories in Jewish History, this is the one where the name of God is conspicuously absent.
