President Obama panders to Palestinians

"America does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements." As if that statement wasn't disheartening enough, it was the thunderous applause afterwards that troubled me. In an effort not to be thought of as choosing sides, President Obama also asked the "Palestinians" to stop inciting Israel. Inciting is not the word I would use. Murder, suicide bombings, and civilian casualties are what come to mind.

Why doesn't our president accept the legitimacy of Israeli settlements? They have been legitimate settlements since 1917. Why is he pandering to the Palestinians? Why doesn't he understand that this land that has eternally been fought over belongs to Israel? It always has, and it always will. Maybe Israel would allow Arabs in if they weren't going to be slaughtered. Israel is not dealing with Mexicans that are crossing over to find a better life, or even leech off of the American system. Israel is dealing with Arabs that want their land and them dead. They have made the mistake of letting them in, and backing offand paid for it with blood.

The U.N. general assembly met the Presidents remarks with applause. World dictators, third-world war lords, and old enemies of our country were showing their support for the "new" presidents statements. In clearly one of the most anti-Israel speeches to date, President Obama might as well call for Israel to consider conceding the very land for the sake of peace, the very land that was promised to them by their God. This struggle will NEVER end. They don't understand the resolve of Israel. To them, there is no debate, peace talks, or discussion. It is historically, geographically, and biblically their land. Imagine if Canada just decided to move into Michigan, and Ohio, set up their own governments and fighting forces, and say it is theirs while blowing up Americans claiming they are only protecting thier land from infringing on their territory. Instead of fighting them, we should just concede for the sake of peace. I know that example is a reach, but some of the same principles apply.

"The time has come -- the time has come to re-launch negotiations without preconditions that address the permanent status issues: security for Israelis and Palestinians, borders, refugees, and Jerusalem. And the goal is clear: Two states living side by side in peace and security -- a Jewish state of Israel, with true security for all Israelis; and a viable, independent Palestinian state with contiguous territory that ends the occupation that began in 1967, and realizes the potential of the Palestinian people."

"Two states living side by side in peace and security"? Two states? Since when were the Palestinians a state. That had me in hysterics. Do these people study history? Does he really think Israel will just allow the Palestinians to hang around and threaten security for the people of Israel? Does he honestly think the Palestinians will end their bloodshed?

What is a Palestinian? Are they from Palestine, which resides in Israel? No. It has recently become a trend, especially in the colleges of America and on the left, to be a supporter of the Palestinians (Arabs). The media has twisted the meaning of this word, Palestinian. They are Muslims, every one of them, Muslim. Arabs and Jews fighting it out is dated all the way back to Gen 16: (Issac and Ishmael). They are called Palestinians to indoctrinate the rest of the world that Palestine is actually their land. To take the focus off of their real beliefs. The majority of these Palestinians are Jew-hating, Jew-killing Muslims, who not only want the land, but the would love nothing more then to witness the annihilation of the Jews from the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

President Obama went on to say:

"The United States does Israel no favors when we fail to couple an unwavering commitment to its security with an insistence that Israel respect the legitimate claims and rights of the Palestinians."

Legitimate claims? What legitimate claims? So they put a few shacks up on the land back in the early 1900's, it changes nothing. Israel is the one with a official declaration on their side, and the declaration from God dating back to 1739 B.C. Israel is the one who had to defend their land from day one.

"These are all God's children. That is a lesson embedded in the three great faiths that call one small slice of Earth the Holy Land."

The implication, or the meaning behind that statement is that Muslims, Christians and Jews are one, and we need to live in peace. That sounds good and all, but it doesn't hold water when one of them worships Jesus Christ exclusively, the other worships Allah who commands Muslims to kill all infidels (Christians and Jews), and the other still relies solely on, a coming Messiah (while rejecting the new testament which teaches us about Christ). You know why the Jews won't let the "Palestinians" back in to Palestine, because the Arab keeps strapping themselves with explosives, killing innocents. As long as it is a Jew (Infidels) they don't care, it's their duty. They consider it an honor, and privilege to be fortunate enough to kill any infidel.

Here is the bottom line, and a VERY condensed history of the longest running land conflict in recorded history. With the Balfour Declaration in 1917, Israel became a nation, with the land of Palestine. The Arabs protested, and rioted due to the nationality of Israel and the land, but to no avail. In April of 1920, the Arabs, 70,000 strong this time, took to the streets. Jews were assaulted and forced into hiding. Speeches were given by Arabs which included words such as "Palestine is ours, and jews are dogs". Arab police joined in, and things deteriorated with looting, sacking, and crazed mobs. Synagogues were raided, Torahs (The Old Testament) thrown to the ground. There were rapes, murders, looting of homes and businesses, assaults that left over 200 injured, and several dead. One year later, the Arabs did it again, this time with many more injuries and deaths then before. Then in 1948, since the "Arab Palestinians" couldn't pull it off themselves, they brought in several allies and attacked Israel with 5 other Arab nations to try the land grab once more. Arabs, despite superior numbers, and firepower, still were not able to maintain a secure foothold on the land. In 1967, Israel reclaimed important territories from the PLO such as the Gaza Strip and the West Bank in the 6 day war, and that's where we are today. The nation of Israel remembers history even if President Barack Obama doesn't.

It's always been Israel against the world, and they have always come out on top. Tanks, technology, weaponry, and cowardice (suicide bombers) have all been defeated by rocks, and farming tools in the past and now they have grown into one of the most effective, technologically advanced, and proficient armies on the globe. Israel doesn't need this administrations fragile permission. I'm sure, as a nation, they will be just fine without the approval of President Barack Obama. If Israel wasn't an ally of America, you better believe the conflict would amp up into a full scale battle. Maybe that's what needs to happen.

Fresno farmers vs. Five inch fish

This one hits close to home. In California's Central Valley (Fresno), the current administration's lack of concern for the general well being of man has caused at least 45,000 jobs to be lost in the agricultural, and farming communities surrounding the Fresno area. This was done to protect a fish. Fish, or people? Watching the news last night, seeing families standing in lines because of a Smelt. I can't imagine what some of these people are going through. Their entire livelihood, taken from them. Imagine if you lost your job, whatever it is, because of a Hypomesus Transpacificus (Smelt). Why did you get layed off? The economy, downsizing, outsourcing, or was it the smelt? Forty five thousand people, without jobs.

As if the Fresno farmers don't have enough problems. Three years of severe droughts, the worst recession in our generation, and now, being denied access to water, a vital, and essential life blood for farmers.

The main argument is the fish are being caught in the delta pump and dying, which in my opinion still doesn't justify causing hardship on American families. It has also been argued that the salmon eat the smelt so therefore the smelt are vital to the salmon population as well, which is a half truth. Salmon eat many other things. They could definitely live without smelt in their diet. To say that smelt is vital to the salmon population is just not truth. Even if the argument held water, it still makes no difference. To place smelt, salmon, whales, grizzly bears, bald eagles, etc before human well-being is bordering on the edge of insanity.

How is this standing in the tradition of "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness", when farmers and there families have to stand in line for hours just to get free food because of the endangered smelt. One farmer had to spend $600,000 dollars for a well just to keep operating. I believe our forefathers, if faced with the same problem may have destroyed all the fish no sooner as to even discuss lessoning general welfare of men and women. The smelt might as well be endowed to have these "certain unalienable Rights" as we were blessed with from God, and our national heritage. All men and smelt are created equal. It's not silly, or meant to be humorous. That is the attitude of these people.

There is a show on Animal Planet called Whale Wars, were the green peace rejects, the Sea Shepard's (The founder of the Sea Shepard was kicked out of Green Peace for being to fanatical about saving the whales) risk their own human lives in frigid waters to save the whales, and disrupt the whaling industry. The lengths these people go through to protect the whales, while endangering the lives of volunteers is beyond my comprehension.

The extinction number is not even that low for the Smelt. Last of all, why are we as a nation still having Smelt festivals in New York that goes through 500 pounds of Smelt in 2 days if they are endangered. Lunacy
