Rights Watchdog, Lost in the Mideast

Rights Watchdog, Lost in the Mideast (from The New York Times - posted here because I don't trust that rag to keep this up.)


By ROBERT L. BERNSTEIN
Published: October 19, 2009
AS the founder of Human Rights Watch, its active chairman for 20 years and now founding chairman emeritus, I must do something that I never anticipated: I must publicly join the group’s critics. Human Rights Watch had as its original mission to pry open closed societies, advocate basic freedoms and support dissenters. But recently it has been issuing reports on the Israeli-Arab conflict that are helping those who wish to turn Israel into a pariah state.

At Human Rights Watch, we always recognized that open, democratic societies have faults and commit abuses. But we saw that they have the ability to correct them — through vigorous public debate, an adversarial press and many other mechanisms that encourage reform.

That is why we sought to draw a sharp line between the democratic and nondemocratic worlds, in an effort to create clarity in human rights. We wanted to prevent the Soviet Union and its followers from playing a moral equivalence game with the West and to encourage liberalization by drawing attention to dissidents like Andrei Sakharov, Natan Sharansky and those in the Soviet gulag — and the millions in China’s laogai, or labor camps.

When I stepped aside in 1998, Human Rights Watch was active in 70 countries, most of them closed societies. Now the organization, with increasing frequency, casts aside its important distinction between open and closed societies.

Nowhere is this more evident than in its work in the Middle East. The region is populated by authoritarian regimes with appalling human rights records. Yet in recent years Human Rights Watch has written far more condemnations of Israel for violations of international law than of any other country in the region.

Israel, with a population of 7.4 million, is home to at least 80 human rights organizations, a vibrant free press, a democratically elected government, a judiciary that frequently rules against the government, a politically active academia, multiple political parties and, judging by the amount of news coverage, probably more journalists per capita than any other country in the world — many of whom are there expressly to cover the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Meanwhile, the Arab and Iranian regimes rule over some 350 million people, and most remain brutal, closed and autocratic, permitting little or no internal dissent. The plight of their citizens who would most benefit from the kind of attention a large and well-financed international human rights organization can provide is being ignored as Human Rights Watch’s Middle East division prepares report after report on Israel.

Human Rights Watch has lost critical perspective on a conflict in which Israel has been repeatedly attacked by Hamas and Hezbollah, organizations that go after Israeli citizens and use their own people as human shields. These groups are supported by the government of Iran, which has openly declared its intention not just to destroy Israel but to murder Jews everywhere. This incitement to genocide is a violation of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.

Leaders of Human Rights Watch know that Hamas and Hezbollah chose to wage war from densely populated areas, deliberately transforming neighborhoods into battlefields. They know that more and better arms are flowing into both Gaza and Lebanon and are poised to strike again. And they know that this militancy continues to deprive Palestinians of any chance for the peaceful and productive life they deserve. Yet Israel, the repeated victim of aggression, faces the brunt of Human Rights Watch’s criticism.

The organization is expressly concerned mainly with how wars are fought, not with motivations. To be sure, even victims of aggression are bound by the laws of war and must do their utmost to minimize civilian casualties. Nevertheless, there is a difference between wrongs committed in self-defense and those perpetrated intentionally.

But how does Human Rights Watch know that these laws have been violated? In Gaza and elsewhere where there is no access to the battlefield or to the military and political leaders who make strategic decisions, it is extremely difficult to make definitive judgments about war crimes. Reporting often relies on witnesses whose stories cannot be verified and who may testify for political advantage or because they fear retaliation from their own rulers. Significantly, Col. Richard Kemp, the former commander of British forces in Afghanistan and an expert on warfare, has said that the Israel Defense Forces in Gaza “did more to safeguard the rights of civilians in a combat zone than any other army in the history of warfare.”

Only by returning to its founding mission and the spirit of humility that animated it can Human Rights Watch resurrect itself as a moral force in the Middle East and throughout the world. If it fails to do that, its credibility will be seriously undermined and its important role in the world significantly diminished.

Robert L. Bernstein, the former president and chief executive of Random House, was the chairman of Human Rights Watch from 1978 to 1998.

Czars Are Not Elected Officials

Wake Up and start shouting to everyone you know, your congressmen, your friends, on the blogs, on twitter on facebook that Czars are NOT elected officials, they are not the lawmakers. They hold ZERO power. Only Congress can make laws. They are nothing more than paid friends of Obama. They are illegitimate just like Obama.

You Want A War FACEBOOK Now You've Got One

Facebook took down my personal account because I posted http://bit.ly/1TB16w
Someone reported me and they didn't even contact me to say what was happening. Just simply took my account down.


So Now I'm exposing Facebook for the racist antisemites that they are. 


Here I am a JEW and I posted the link for others to see the filth that the Obama websites on the .gov is allowing and I am being closed down? Me the victim, the Jew who is being accused of baby killing has had her account closed down. What the FUCK is up with that site and the people who run it. Are you kidding me? Do you know the filth they allow up? Do you know the hate groups that are allowed to run on FACEBOOK? Do you? I expose a story that is true, that lives on the .gov website of Obama and I am shut down?


I am asking that you contact abuse@facebook.com and tell them to put my account back as it was and to apologize for prejudging and discriminating against me. I should also be allowed to know who my accuser was.  Please email me for my full FACEBOOK account name so you can do this properly for me.


Also here is their telephone number 650-543-4800
If you have updates please let me know. Thank you in advance. 
UPDATE as of about 4pm Easter: my account was reinstated. I am sure it was because of the numerous emails and calls that I know many of my twitter and blog followers made. Thanks for putting the pressure on them.


UPDATE TO UPDATE: Again Friday the 23rd they closed my account...no notice no reason just locked me out. What is up with FACEBOOK. I guess NO JEWS ALLOWED!

Horrid Antisemetic Tweet I Received Yesterday

I've had moments in my life that weren't so much fun because I'm Jewish. I have had ignorant things said to me. This however is a first. It started with this tweet and went on and on. I have many loyal followers who reported this person and their account was removed.

I blame this boldness on the Obama Administration. They have emboldened this type of behavior to come out of the closet. They have contributed to the antisemetic tone and remarks in less than a year in office. Under the Bush administration I never once was met with any such hatred directly to me. This is a clear sign of the times.

So Nancy Pelosi...just who is using Hitler and speaking about Hitler and calling for the death of whom?

UPDATE;
I am getting more tweets simply because of Jew hatred. This one today:

OBAMA'S WEBSITE: 'DISMANTLE ISRAEL', 'STOP THE KILLER JEWS AND STOP THE JEWISH TROLLS'

http://bit.ly/1TB16w  <-------------- Go there NOW!


This is a progrom!!!


I want to know when as a nation, as a people do we say no more? When are we going to call for this president to step down, or impeach this man? Are we going to let people make gas chambers again?? When I'm dead, because you all know I'm Jewish, and they then come after you, will that be the time? Before that. WHEN?!?!? Remember the people in Germany did nothing too. They were shocked too. They didn't think it would ever...you fill in the blank.


While they sit and accuse us in THEIR media of us being impolite and we cower or discuss it and give credence to their nonsense diversions, this is going on and this is very dangerous and real. This is not a game. This IS my life. And you better believe it's yours too.


Who is going to stand up and say this is not ok, this president is not ok and that he is breaking our laws, and allowing others to do it for him...by proxy??

We Are A Republic Not A Democracy

What is the difference? Did you know the word democracy does not appear in our constitution?



Hat tip: Conservative Hippie Chick

I was always taught in (public) school that we are a democracy. Brainwashed. I believed it. I never heard about us being a republic even though that is the word in our pledge we said each day before we started our lessens.

I think it is time the rule of law was restored! Immediately!

Here's What I'd Like to Say In My Dating Profile

First I'm going to quantify what is coming below. I've had some really outrageous things said to me through IM's and emails and even in person while attempting to date through my online profile. And while I hear about success stories from others who have friends who have done well, it's not been my experience. Yes yes yes I'm digging deeper to figure out why but with that said here's what I wish I could write in my bio profile:

Let's face it. I'm hot. You know it and that's why you clicked on my photo. So before you email me some sexual innuendo or try to be coy with me through a few normal IM exchanges and then go for the gusto, stop and think about it. I'm a hot chick. So what makes you think that I'm so desperate that I'd go for the lowest on the totem pole and go out with you, who only seem to make a play for me in a sexual way? Heck if I wanted that I could walk up and down my street where I live and pick an equally hot man and F&ck his brains out.  You see boys/men I'm cashing in on my hot value and being the picky biotch I deserve to be. You're gonna have to be of the best character, the kindest heart, put up with my lunatic political rants and challenge my mind. I'm not looking for a mind-f*ck or a quick lay. For that you'd better find a fat chick with low self-esteem. But I'm not JUST a hot chick. I'm an analytical thinker. I'm logical. And while you might be able to slip a few details past me that I choose not to remember, I'll catch you in your shi*t faster than you can say SHUT THE F*CK UP! So you wanna get into these pair of jeans, you're gonna have to earn it, deserve it and work for it. And it's gonna have to be more than the sex you're trying to earn from me.

Please read that story today. I've been saying all this on my blog. Why oh why must we wait until the wolves drag in the carcass?

The Slandering Of Rush - Redux Pagones!- History Repeats!

I've become a fan of Rush. I never thought I'd see the day. But I was a liberal who was smacked by reality and became more conservative. And even in all the years I didn't like Rush, I never felt he was a horrible human being, a race hustler or that he ever wanted to bring harm to anyone. He simply had opposing views.

Now the real race hustler Al Sharpton, the boot-licker of Obama has been trumped out and is letting himself be used as a tool to divert our attention to the real and very serious issues of our country by slandering Rush. And all the network television "news" stations have jumped on board. Now it seems that all their espousing of high standards of ethics [excuse me while I cough] there has been no research and nothing to prove that he said any of these horrid racist things he's been accused of.  Not one link or audio or video clip has been produced. NOT ONE and yet it's all over the network "news" stations.

They are the FAUX NEWS! J'accuse ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's some facts about Sharpton I bet you didn't know:

• His dad was a landlord and businessman
• By age 7, he was touring with gospel great Mahalia Jackson and Bishop F.D. Washington, the renowned Pentacostal minister of Brooklyn's Washington Temple Church of God in Christ as "the Wonder Boy Preacher
• After two years of college, he dropped out and worked as national touring manager for singer James Brown
• The television show HBO's Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel showed a 1983 FBI videotape in which Al Sharpton is seen talking about laundering drug money with former mobster Michael Franzese, a Mafioso-turned-undercover-FBI informant posing as a cocaine dealer.
• He was involved in the Crown Heights riot of 1991, and a 1995 arson attack on a Jewish Harlem jeweler that resulted in 8 deaths. The riots in Harlem happened after Sharpton made remarks about the "white interloper".
• 1987 Tawana Brawley...Sharpton compared then-state Attorney General Robert Abrams, a Jew, to Adolf Hitler.

I remember when this happened. I live close to the court house in Queens. I was worried about my commute home. There were hundreds of police, that my taxes had to pay for, that day when this case went to court. All because of Sharpton and his incitement.

And let us not forget his rush to be a part of the Jena, LA case where the black woman falsely accused the white frat boys of rape to hide her own skeletons and in the process completely ruined the lives of those young innocent men.

Here's some real racists and their quotes:

You f*cking Jew b@stard." -- Hillary Clinton to political operative Paul Fray. This was revealed in "State of a Union: Inside the Complex Marriage of Bill and Hillary Clinton" and has been verified by Paul Fray and three witnesses.

"The Jews don't like Farrakhan, so they call me Hitler. Well, that's a good name. Hitler was a very great man. He rose Germany up from the ashes." -- Louis Farrakhan (1984) who campaigned for congresswoman Cynthia McKinney in 2002

"Now that nation called Israel, never has had any peace in forty years and she will never have any peace because there can never be any peace structured on injustice, thievery, lying and deceit and using the name of God to shield your dirty religion under his holy and righteous name." -- Louis Farrakhan who campaigned for congresswoman Cynthia McKinney in 2002, 1984

'Hymies.' 'Hymietown.' -- Jesse Jackson's description of New York City while on the 1984 presidential campaign trail.

"Jews — that's J-E-W-S." -- Democratic state representative Bill McKinney on why his daughter Cynthia lost in 2002

"I want to go up to the closest white person and say: 'You can't understand this, it's a black thing' and then slap him, just for my mental health." -- Charles Barron, a New York city councilman at a reparations rally, 2002 [I remember when this one happened!]

"Civil rights laws were not passed to protect the rights of white men and do not apply to them." -- Mary Frances Berry, Chairwoman, US Commission on Civil Rights

(I) "will not let the white boys win in this election." -- Donna Brazile, Al Gore's Campaign Manager on the 2000 election

"The old white boys got taken fair and square." -- San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown after winning an election

"There are white n*ggers. I've seen a lot of white n*ggers in my time." -- Former Klansman and Current US Senator Robert Byrd, a man who is referred to by many Democrats as the "conscience of the Senate" in March of 2001

"The Medicaid system must have been developed by a white male slave owner. It pays for you to be pregnant and have a baby, but it won't pay for much family planning." -- Jocelyn Elders

The white man is our mortal enemy, and we cannot accept him. I will fight to see that vicious beast go down into the lake of fire prepared for him from the beginning, that he never rise again to give any innocent black man, woman or child the hell that he has delighted in pouring on us for 400 years." -- Louis Farrakhan who campaigned for congresswoman Cynthia McKinney in 2002, City College audience in New York

"There's no great, white bigot; there's just about 200 million little white bigots out there." -- USA Today columnist Julienne Malveaux

"We have lost to the white racist press and to the racist reactionary Jewish misleaders." -- Former Rep. Gus Savage (D-Illinois) after his defeat 1992

"White folks was in caves while we was building empires... We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it." -- Rev. Al Sharpton in a 1994 speech at Kean College, NJ, cited in "Democrats Do the Dumbest Things

"The white race is the cancer of human history." -- Susan Sontag

"Reparations are a really good way for white people to admit they're wrong." -- Zack Webb, University Of Kentucky NAACP

"...they will say that Al Sharpton cannot get the majority of the white vote. The fact is--no Democrat has gotten the majority of the white vote in many years. Bill Clinton didn't get the majority of the white vote. The Democratic Party has been able to put together a coalition of a sizeable portion of the white vote, the overwhelming majority of black votes and Latino votes. That has been their winning strategy..." -- Sharpton

"Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death!"

Patrick Henry's "Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death" Speech

St. John's Church, Richmond, Virginia
March 23, 1775.

MR. PRESIDENT: No man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism, as well as abilities, of the very worthy gentlemen who have just addressed the House. But different men often see the same subject in different lights; and, therefore, I hope it will not be thought disrespectful to those gentlemen if, entertaining as I do, opinions of a character very opposite to theirs, I shall speak forth my sentiments freely, and without reserve. This is no time for ceremony. The question before the House is one of awful moment to this country. For my own part, I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery; and in proportion to the magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate. It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfil the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offence, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the majesty of heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings.

Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.

I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided; and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past. And judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the conduct of the British ministry for the last ten years, to justify those hopes with which gentlemen have been pleased to solace themselves, and the House? Is it that insidious smile with which our petition has been lately received? Trust it not, sir; it will prove a snare to your feet. Suffer not yourselves to be betrayed with a kiss. Ask yourselves how this gracious reception of our petition comports with these war-like preparations which cover our waters and darken our land. Are fleets and armies necessary to a work of love and reconciliation? Have we shown ourselves so unwilling to be reconciled, that force must be called in to win back our love? Let us not deceive ourselves, sir. These are the implements of war and subjugation; the last arguments to which kings resort. I ask, gentlemen, sir, what means this martial array, if its purpose be not to force us to submission? Can gentlemen assign any other possible motive for it? Has Great Britain any enemy, in this quarter of the world, to call for all this accumulation of navies and armies? No, sir, she has none. They are meant for us; they can be meant for no other. They are sent over to bind and rivet upon us those chains which the British ministry have been so long forging. And what have we to oppose to them? Shall we try argument? Sir, we have been trying that for the last ten years. Have we anything new to offer upon the subject? Nothing. We have held the subject up in every light of which it is capable; but it has been all in vain. Shall we resort to entreaty and humble supplication? What terms shall we find which have not been already exhausted? Let us not, I beseech you, sir, deceive ourselves. Sir, we have done everything that could be done, to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament. Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne. In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free² if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending²if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained, we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of Hosts is all that is left us!

They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance, by lying supinely on our backs, and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. Three millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations; and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable²and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come.

It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace²but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!

THIS is what makes us better than them:
"no objections to or repudiation of hatred-inciting messages being included in children's programs had been found"

In Western society we have our idiots. But we also have dissent. And at least at the moment we haven't been legislated to group speak/think. When hate rears it's ugly head we speak out against it. THAT is what makes us superior and right to all other cultures everywhere on this globe.

Aleta asked me to give the guys I've "met" a one-word description for each one. Well, it's not quite that easy. But I seem to have gotten it down to a short synopsis. If you're a single female, and especially if you're young I suggest you read these first and my previous post before you continue to go out on your dates.  You see, if I educate enough of you, then I help empower you and empowered single women-en mass means much much less asshat men who can get away with this crap. WIN/WIN!

The World Has Gone Mad

Waking up to the bizarre news that Obama has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize was an exercise in a real life acid trip. The do-NOTHING, did-nothing, great divider has been awared a prize in which even Lech Wałęsa says "is too early." The

Times Online calls this an "absurd decision on Obama makes a mockery of the Nobel peace prize.

All this man has done is further allowed people like this man I captured on my camera in the subway last week to live here peacefully while he flaunts sports his politically motivated muslim/arab shawl with no worries and probably to many pats on the back from the idiot libtards I live amongst in NYC. Freedom they would proclaim, while this man proclaims with one gesture of clothing the opposite. Stoooopid stoooopid dumbed down people.
We elected the Pepsi President. Flash, dazzle, advertising to make us buy a product we never needed and was overpriced.

39 My %SS!

And here's a very good example of the insane dating scene in NYC. On Friday afternoon I perused through some profiles and staring at me was this profile. Notice how he lists himself as 39. If this guy is 39 I'm the Pope!

I'm 38. I'm 38 years old loyal readers. I know I look younger than my years. I always have. As a youngster it SUCKED. But now I admit it is great. Mom always told me this would one day work in my favor. :)

BUT this man is NOT 39 years old. Try +10. And this is what I'm up against. This is why I'm always feeling disappointed and almost defeated in finding my beshert.

And while I'm posting about dating I thought I'd share that I just edited my profile bio (as if the men read them HA) to say the following: If you really want to learn more about someone don't ask their friends, ask their enemies.

It will sure make for a conversation opener and show me if they even read a word of the profile at all.

Global Warming?

Facts! I want the facts not rhetoric. And it seems that 17K scientists, many trained in physics, geophysics, climate science, meteorology, oceanography, chemistry, biology and biochemistry have concluded that humans and our "output" are NOT causing climate change formerly coined global warming.

Before you read the factual information below please note that I the author of this blog do believe that we pollute and emit carcinogens and that we can better use our resources as I'm sure most other conservatives, independents and right leaning moderates also feel.

The screaming left radicals have hijacked the storylines and I'm taking them back one post at a time. They'll have you believe we are evil, don't care about the world we live in and want to pollute. That's utter garbage. PUN INTENDED!

But none of their agenda has anything to do with actually cleaning up our envirnonment and none of their beliefs show any proof that climate is changing in a way that will end our planet and cause the continents to change the way they profess. Their entire agenda is about controlling people for the greater good of a very very handful of lucky people sitting at the top who will continue to fly their planes to .....I dunno where will they fly....let's just say Coppenhagan, no that wouldn't be ONE plane, that would be two planes, and own mansions that produce more electricity than entire cities, while you and I scrape $100 together every month for our electricity bill ontop of whatever we used to pay for that utility. It's a ruse people. It's a friggin ruse to get you to put more $$ in their pockets.

OK factual rant over...Now read the facts.

''There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane, or other greenhouse gases is causing (or will in the foreseeable future cause) catastrophic heating of the earth's atmosphere and disruption of the earth's climate. Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the earth.''

The carping of an oil-industry flack? The ignorant mutterings of fringe antienvironmentalists?

No. It is a petition signed by nearly 17,000 US scientists, half of whom are trained in the fields of physics, geophysics, climate science, meteorology, oceanography, chemistry, biology, or biochemistry. The statement was circulated by the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine along with an eight-page abstract of the latest research on climate change. The abstract - written for scientists but comprehensible by laymen - concludes that there is no basis for believing (1) that atmospheric CO2 is causing a dangerous climb in global temperatures, (2) that greater concentrations of CO2 would be harmful, or (3) that human activity leads to global warming in the first place.

The cover letter accompanying the petition and abstract was penned by Frederick Seitz, a past president of the National Academy of Sciences. (All these documents are available online at www.oism.org/pproject.) The scientific ''consensus'' on global warming, it turns out, does not exist.

More than 100 climate scientists have endorsed the Leipzig Declaration, which describes the Kyoto treaty as ''dangerously simplistic, quite ineffective, and economically destructive.'' The endorsers include prominent scholars, among them David Aubrey of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute; Larry Brace of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center; meteorologist Austin Hogan, who co-edits the journal Atmospheric Research; Richard Lindzen, the Sloane Professor of Meteorology at MIT; and Patrick Michaels, a University of Virginia professor and past president of the American Association of State Climatologists.

''The dire predictions of a future warming have not been validated by the historic climate record,'' the Leipzig Declaration says bluntly. ''In fact, most climate specialists now agree that actual observations from both weather satellites and balloon-borne radiosondes show no current warming whatsoever - in direct contradiction to computer model results.'' The declaration, plus a wealth of information on every aspect of the global warming controversy, is posted at the Web site of the Science & Environmental Policy Project, www.sepp.org.

If I Had Children This Would Probably Represent Mine

I AM Better Than This!

As many of you know, I'm dating and using a Jewish dating site. My good bloggy friend Aleta traded some stories about the strange men she met before meeting her husband and marrying him last year. And we agreed that there are a lot of strange men to go through before meeting the right one.

But let me tell you folks, at 38 years old, I believe I have completed my quota for strangeness, idiotdom, etc etc...fill in the appropriate word as you wish.

I am better than this.

I'm never quite sure how to write these posts about my dating experiences. I'd like to give you the feeling and experience of what is out there and why I often feel disappointed. The best way I know how to do that is to show you what is typical.

Typical guy's desires taken straight from his own bio...because you can't make this stuff up.  (See my translation in red ...for those of you who don't speak dating.)
I am looking for a:
Well, since this is like placing an order, I guess I'd like to meet an extremely intelligent, attractive (in good shape, works out regularly), super model with no fat - magazine airbrushed only without the airbrushing genuinely nice woman who will kiss my ass and tell me I'm hung like a horse and I'm the best thing that ever happened to her and be so grateful that super guy like me is finally in her life who is younger than me because I'm an ageist old fart that thinks that women my own age of 43 are old hags and besides only younger women who haven't had life experience would put up with my overgrown baby elitist snotty bullshit. That's a pretty tall order, but that doesn't mean I expect to find somebody who is perfect. I try to avoid high-maintenance women which is why I'm still single because I ask specifically for a high maintenance woman but I'm too cheap and conceited to actually give anything back to the gorgeous, smart and fit woman I require to blow me and bow to me and frankly no woman is worth that and shouldn't have any standards or wants because I'm the only one who can have requirements in a relationship , and I have no patience for "rules girls.because it is I who make all the rules and you should exist solely to meet all my effing desires"

BTW I did write to this guy because -- well my hothead exploded after reading this from lawyer guy -- and let him know that in order to get an intelligent woman he'd first have to fix his own grammatical mistakes.

And if that wasn't bad enough, the asshole actually asked me to tell him what the mistake was. LOSER

Disclaimer: I personally make no claims to being a grammar snob...nor require it of others. Grammatical mistakes I'm sure abound this post.

This video really sums it all up.

Legitimate Concerns of American Citizens

Great site full of photos from DC on 9/12/09.
If you can't see the long list of legitimate concerns than it is You who is a racist.

Indoctrination

Obviously Ronda and my former RL friends don't realize that this is the real deal going on in the world and is what really needs a worldwide apology tour. Please visit the link as the embedding has been disabled for that video.

Now watch this video. Feel free to scroll to about 40 seconds in and hear the kids singing.

But yes yes I'm the mean vicious blogger. My blog is so mean right? Or is it just that you lefty folks just have the burning desire that is missing from your lives that leaves you so void that you must keep pretending you are the do-gooders of the world and everyone ELSE is evil and mean.

Everytime you close your eyes to this truth it is YOU who allows another child to be killed, another woman to be honor murdered, raped & veiled. It is you who is part of the hate. In your overwhelming need to feel good it is you who has sided with the haters of the world.

Speaking Up To Hate!

Whatever You Give A Woman She Will Make Greater

I didnt' write this. It was sent to me in an email. I dedicate this from this single woman to the single men still out there.


If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby.
If you give her a house, she'll give you a home.
If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal.
If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart.
She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her.
So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit..."

---

After another seemingly pointless and depressing date, the email showed up in my box. I add: Dear G-d hear my prayer...no more old-haggard-looking non-chemistry inducing dates for me. Please only send wonderful men who are fun, young-spirited yet mature minded, who truly want to show me a great time and know how to treat a women with respect. And Jewish. That goes without saying. :)

Stupid Enough Looking For You Ronda?

I'll match your picture with this protest from this week in Chicago and I'll up the anti by asking you to please tell me how Obama or speaking in Spanish has anything to do with the said reason of the protest which was that the Hyatt laid off workers?

Do you think these types of demonstrations are OK? Do you think they are mature and reasonable? Did you know 200 people were arrested and NOT one person at the 912 tea party protest in DC was out of what 500K or more people.

Let's be honest about what is happening and the way the media and fellow Americans are treating this situation for once.
The rest of the story about the arrests and protest that you won't see with the MSM or bloggers like Ronda.




This is my response to Ronda's blog who after posting a very very derrogatory post about Tea Party protestors and praising Jimmy Carter obviously closed her blog down to me. Tsk tsk.

Out of hundreds of photos and millions of people she deliberately chose that one photo and wrote a rude and mean post about a movement based on that. At this blog you'll see tons of photos of the crowd, the people, their signs, and you'll get to see not JUST white faces as the MSM and Ronda would have you believe.

When confronted by me about this she wrote to me "you need help"(...I'll address that line at the end of the post.)

Guess she isn't the open honest person she espoused to be with people who don't agree with her views. Hypocrite! I was going to link to her post to prove my point but she shut the blog down. What a joke! Grow up Ronda. Your commenters and you are anti-semetic and racist and you can't handle the truth and honest comments or debate.

Gee Ronda...you really can't see how hateful you are? Hmmm with all the current topics that are happening in our nation today that are dire and pressing. Let me see, I dunno UM maybe the raids on the terrorists dens in NYC, Denver and Houston over the past week.

Nope that's not scary enough or a concern enough for you. Or how the national debt has ballooned in just 8 months under Obama and will cost your "cutest boy in America" for the rest of his life.

No you're not a hater Ronda. Of course you're not. You simply chose to attack your fellow Americans instead. You simply decided to jump on the bandwagon of racist mongering instead.

But righto you're a Christian right? You're the caring one right? You volunteer at food banks right...while you judge the people that go there as scary and I had to be the one to point out to you that perhaps the man is just scared.

A very smart friend who is also a psychologist noted the following to me, so here's some free therapy for you Ronda:
1-If she listened to your facts she would have to change her entire life.
She would not only lose all of her following & friends but she would have to look in the mirror and feel some responsibility for supporting the likes of Jimmy Carter and attacking earnest American citizens.

2-That would feel really bad. She's looking for an easy, mindless "feel good."

And she goes on to explain the following about her own transformation:
To be able to change one's point of view is a sign of greater intellect and emotional courage. How do I know? I had that "Ah-Ha" moment. And it was disconcerting - and embarrassing - but later it felt good. I was just mindlessly "lib-ish" because I wanted to think of myself as a compassionate person, wrongly thought Republicans were all rich and mean and because, back in the day of the dinosaurs, my parents voted Democrat (so I WAS a registered Democrat - now an Independent).

My "Ah-Ha" moment came:
1. when a department of Middle eastern men that I worked with cheered at the TV on 9/11/01 (in a Queens NYC Hospital). I was very confused- I had liked these guys- partly because they were "multicultural."
2. When I saw Palestinians dancing and cheering after 9/11/01 on TV - they pulled that off the air quickly!


Regarding those who meet you with the "you need help" garbage here's what my Psychologist friend had to say:
By the way, when people tell you that you "need help" - don't take that comment in! They are projecting - It is their own self-deception that won't allow them to reach out for the help that they need (speaking as Psych Dr. here)

Stupid Racist Me

I'm not going to share the entire long story, but stupid me tried to forgive and rekindle a friendship with a couple that at one point tried to play the race card ON me.

Two days ago on facebook the male part of that couple (who happen to be black,) posted that he agrees with Carter's latest statement that the tea party movement is based on hatred of a black man as president.

When I pointed out that he was then calling me racist he went into a diatribe about the healthcare system, guantanamo, and even Bush.

I pulled the conversation back to the fact that his post was about racism and I asked him to prove his point. I further pointed out that citing Jimmy Carter is indeed saying we are all racist although he professed he wasn't stating that.

I gave link after link including the following


Did he even watch the video. Doubt it from the immediate reply.

I pointed out that Carter is anti-semetic. I was then told to prove Carter is an anti-semite. And I was dumbfounded. How can someone be so blind? And to be friends with me, a Jew and be so insensitive yet demand sensitivity of his blackness. MEH?!

I could have sent a lot of different links about this but I chose this one from Huffington Post , afterall I'm dealing with a leftwing moonbat now. And well if you give them a source like hannity they'll dismiss the entire information just because. So I gave Huffington Post. I told him about James T. Harris. And pretty much after that no matter what I stopped. I didn't read his responses or post another thing.

After years of knowing them, trying to forgive their horrid accusation from a couple years back, because we disagreed and because he could not separate the personal from the debate and because I kept saying stick to the topic you started and gave facts THEY pulled their profiles from my friend list.

So be it.

Obama the uniter right? My ass!

Some people can only see color. I find this very very sad, completely opposed to what liberal values are supposed to be and yet again have been given confirmation of my choice to feel more aligned with conservatives than liberals.

Shana Tova

I was invited to a Chabad Jewish New Year Dinner Friday night. I had a great time with great hosts.

At the end of the night the Rabbi gave out this special gift.

One of the traditions for the Jewish New Year is to eat sweet foods for a sweet year. There's a lot of symbolism in Judaism.

He handed this to us in the prescription bag in a medicine bottle: honey.

The camera had a hard time getting the words so here's what he said on the bottle:

Pharmacy of Heaven

Prescription for life!

Directions:

To be taken with apple of Challah or plain.

Dose: 1Tsp or more

Results May Vary

If joy does not kick in immediately try a double dose.

If joy and happiness lasts for more than 24 hours please

Thank G-d.

Very clever and creative! Thank you for such a wonderful start to the New Year.

Wave of Homophobia Sweeps the Muslim World

The Islamic world is the most oppressive human rights violating culture on our earth not only today but in the past. The Koran is the law. There is no separation of Mosque and State in any Islamic country. The goal of Islam is to dominate be it by force or by embedding themselves into the current culture and taking over by shear domination of numbers.

For those in the Democratic party that think they are aligning themselves with the party that is so inclusive and open to homosexuals, think again. The current Democratic party has been overtaken by radical leftwing nutbags that side and align and talk about engagment with these regimes. These very regimes that not only are anti-homosexual but take it to the most extreme.

I'm a conservative. But I'm also a conservative that is pro-choice and pro-gay rights. We exists. And I'll never understand how gays in the USA can side with the Democratic party over the Republicans when clearly the Democrats have far less concern for gays than the opposing party. Neither supports gay rights. NEITHER!

The following is from Spiegal:

More than 30 Islamic countries have laws on the books that prohibit homosexuality and make it a criminal offense.

In Mauritania, Bangladesh, Yemen, parts of Nigeria and Sudan, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Iran convicted homosexuals can also be sentenced to death.

Egypt has recently started to clamp down hard. The lives of homosexuals are monitored by a kind of vice squad who tap telephones and recruit informants. As soon as the police have accumulated the kind of evidence they need they charge their victims with "debauchery."

Even in liberal Lebanon homosexuals run the risk of being sentenced to a year in prison.

"the persecution of homosexuals shows that a regime has control over the private lives of its citizens -- a sign of power and authority"

Smart Guy!

America's 200-year war with Islam

If you think you don't need to read this, think again. I encounted a ranting lunatic-verbally abusive attack from a former friend about this subject about a year ago. Blind-sighted at the time to the subject and the rant and the justifications of this pathetic anti-american we're bad before all others going back to this time in history, I had to just be the punching bag for this lunatic.

Apprently the moveon organization is using this subject as a tool to recruit. So it's extremely important that you read this document and understand the history and nature of this event. It's 31 pages with the notes. So please read this at a quiet time when you have a few minutes to devote to this subject.

Maxine Waters is McCarthy Incarnate!

Well well, and they said McCarthyism was dead! Who'd a thunk that a black woman in Congress would be the second coming of Joe McCarthy?

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) said that it's not enough for African-Americans to levy allegations of racism against the right-leaning protesters, and that the media must look into their views.

"I want those people talked to; I want them interviewed," Waters told the liberal Bill Press Radio show in a podcast. "I want journalists to be all over those rallies and the marches with the birthers and the teabaggers."
