From Caroline Glick, deputy editor and op-ed writer for the Jerusalem Post, comes alarming news. An expert on Arab-Israeli relations with excellent sources deep inside Netanyahu's government, she reports that CIA chief Leon Panetta, who recently took time out from his day job (feuding with Nancy Pelosi) to travel to Israel "read the riot act" to the government warning against an attack on Iran.
More ominously, Glick reports (likely from sources high up in the Israeli government) that the Obama administration has all but accepted as irreversible and unavoidable fact that Iran will soon develop nuclear weapons. She writes, "...we have learned that the [Obama] administration has made its peace with Iran's nuclear aspirations. Senior administration officials acknowledge as much in off-record briefings. It is true, they say, that Iran may exploit its future talks with the US to run down the clock before they test a nuclear weapon. But, they add, if that happens, the US will simply have to live with a nuclear-armed mullocracy."
She goes on to write that the Obama administration is desperate to stop Israel from attacking Iran writing that "as far as the [Obama] administration is concerned, if Israel could just leave Iran's nuclear installations alone, Iran would behave itself." She notes that American officials would regard any harm to American interests that flowed from an Israeli attack on Iranian nuclear facilities as Israel's doing, not Iran's.
In classic Stockholm Syndrome fashion, the Obama administration is empathizing more with the Iranian leaders who are holding Israel hostage than with the nation that may be wiped off the map if Iran acquires the bomb.
Obama's end-of-the-year deadline for Iranian talks aimed at stopping its progress toward nuclear weapons is just window dressing without the threat of military action. As Metternich wrote "diplomacy without force is like music without instruments." By warning only of possible strengthening of economic sanctions if the talks do not progress, Obama is making an empty threat. The sanctions will likely have no effect because Russia and China will not let the United Nations act as it must if it is to deter Iranian nuclear weapons.
All this means is that Israel's life is in danger. If Iran gets the bomb, it will use it to kill six million Jews. No threat of retaliation will make the slightest difference. One cannot deter a suicide bomber with the threat of death. Nor can one deter a theocracy bent on meriting admission to heaven and its virgins by one glorious act of violence. Iran would probably not launch the bomb itself, anyway, but would give it to its puppet terrorists to send to Israel so it could deny responsibility. Obama, bent on appeasement, would likely not retaliate with nuclear weapons. And Israel will be dead and gone.
Those sunshine Jewish patriots who voted for Obama must realize that we, as Jews, are witnessing the possible end of Israel. We are in the same moral position as our ancestors were as they watched Hitler rise but did nothing to pressure their favorite liberal Democratic president, FDR, to take any real action to save them or even to let Jewish refugees into the country. If we remain complacent, we will have the same anguish at watching the destruction of Israel that our forebears had in witnessing the Holocaust.
Because one thing is increasingly clear: Barack Obama is not about to lift a finger to stop Iran from developing the bomb. And neither is Hillary Clinton.
Obama may have held the first White House cedar, but he's not planning to spend next year in Jerusalem.

This is exactly what Obama believes, namely that our attempt to impose a standard, a standard that has been sanctioned internationally by the UN, is in itself the threat to peace, rather than the threat that derives from the Iranian acquisition of nuclear weapons while its leader talks openly about wiping Iran off the face of the planet.
This attitude is the bureaucratic attitude of suppression of anger, of indignation, and is the full expression of "Big Nurse" psychology against the would-be Jack Nicholson characters who challenge authority, even when such a challenge is a therapeutic necessity, and hence rational and justified.
It is a totally anima-possessed attitude that gets backed up by its "psychiatrists" who want peace, even without justice and liberty while ending up with war anyway, as Chamberlain discovered in 1939.

Take a look at this video, which shows an anti-Sharia spokeswoman being shouted down by counter-demonstrators at a lecture she was giving at Purdue.
Before this event, counter-demonstrators of the conservative group who opposed a campus group of Palestinians, were told to leave by the dean because the conservative group was "creating a disturbance".
Yet, under conditions where pro-Palestinian protesters were effectively blocking an invited speaker from giving her lecture about her experience as a woman, anti-Sharia, from Egypt, the dean just sat there and did nothing.
The protesters claimed that "she had no right to speak". (!!)

Obama renewed the sanctions against Iran but sanctions only work on countries with civilized leadership. Iranian leadership snickers at Obama and his "childish" sanctions.

Official: President said Palestinian state with holy city capital 'in American interest'
excerpts:
"Abu Mazen (Abbas) heard from Obama and his administration in a very categorical way that a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital is in the American national and security interest," Hamad said.
Another PA official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told WND today that Obama informed Abbas he would not let Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "get in the way" of normalizing U.S. relations with the Arab and greater Muslim world. "We were told from this new administration they will not allow a Netanyahu government to hurt their efforts of rehabilitating U.S. relations with the Arab and Islamic world, which is a high priority of Obama," the official said, speaking during a visit to Cairo.
Whatever Barry wants Barry gets
excerpts:
Despite his feigned protestations to the contrary, since his usurping of the US presidency Supreme Leader Barack Hussein Obama (AKA "Barry" who said he does not want to run a car company) now owns General Motors and will soon own Chrysler. Although his mainstream media continues to say that "taxpayers own the companies," we do not.
The DOJ dropped a voter-intimidation lawsuit against the New Black Panthers, even though (see below video) they were clearly threatening all those who entered the shown polling place. Thus far, no reason has been given for this action by any member of the US Department of Justice. The only reason that currently has any viability is that Obama ordered them to do so. Bear in mind, the New Black Panthers supported Obama for POTUS. Are we on our way to becoming South Africa — or worse?
Note: I use the term 'usurper' ("to use without authority or right; employ wrongfully" and "to commit forcible or illegal seizure of an office, power, etc.") in the truest sense, as virtually all evidence — including Obama's ongoing lawyer-blocks of any and all attempts to produce a true and original birth certificate — points to this pretender to the throne having been born in Kenya. By the way, never before has a candidate for POTUS refused to produce — when asked — an original and true birth certificate.
Under the Obama reign, the persecution of Christians has also begun. An apparent test case in San Diego, CA disallows Christian home Bible studies without a permit! Under the USA's new Marxist regime, the First Amendment's freedom of religion is under fire. And to apparently ensure the First Amendment dies an even quicker death, Obama has appointed a "Cyber-Czar" to monitor Internet content. As his DHS Chief Napolitano has already warned law enforcement conservatives, pro-life, third party candidate supporters and all other "right-wing extremists" are to be considered dangerous and to be watched by police. This is called — amongst other negative terms — Stalinism. Writing for Russia's Pravda in his article "American capitalism gone with a whimper," even columnist Stanislav Mishin recognizes the US' fall from a democratic republic into the bowels of Communism when he states: "It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people."
In California our spiritual studies group held meetings at different member's homes all over the SF Bay area. Rarely the same home twice in a row. A moving target. LOL
Now this issue in San Diego sounds like the neighbor's got fed up with all the cars parking everywhere. One of my neighbors in Florida held a "garage sale" every frigging week-end and cars were parking all over and driving on our yard tearing up the grass and busting the irrigation system. Everyone on my block got riled up about it. Another neighbor held swinger's parties on Friday nights (oh the things that go on behind the white picket fences suburbia!). Cars parked all over and sometimes drunks. Fortunately in each case neighbors having a few polite but pointed words with the host solved the problem. The point being that neighbors are very tolerant of each other's transgressions but when the offence is repeated over and over after neighborly talks then things can become ugly. The bible studies host in San Diego needs to be more considerate of their neighbors. That is my ruling.

While I agree that it was probably a parking issue that induced the complaint that should've been resolved between neighbors, the government, under obama's direction, is going beyond constitutional limits.
Bad news for civil rights
As my grandmother used to say about certain individuals "butter wouldn't melt in his mouth."
We've gone from a bumbling. arrogant enemy of the Constitution, to a polished orator who gives all the appearance of being a good man - until you pay attention to what he's actually saying.
Recently, a California pastor and his wife were required by San Diego County officials to obtain a permit to hold a Bible study in their home.
"What?! Is this a joke?" I wondered as I heard the news for the first time. It was no joke. Rather it's a First Amendment nightmare and possibly a precedent of what's to come.
Are you prepared for a future in which you might someday hear the question, "Got your permit to study the Bible?"
<snip>
Well, over this past weekend, barraged by hundreds of complaints after WorldNetDaily broke the news to the international community, San Diego county officials informed the world that they've backed down from requiring the Joneses to obtain a permit. Despite their retraction (based solely upon public pressure, I might add), however, I am appalled how far the county's enforcement and encroachment crossed the constitutional line and became a flagrant disregard for Americans' right to exercise their religious freedom. And I'm concerned that we will see far more of these overreaching governmental actions in years to come.

Somehow Americans have slowly over time bought into the false scheme, Obama being the biggest proponent, that there exist logically provable atheist Universal Values that all moral arguments in the public sphere must satisfy. Political Atheism.

Liberals have a serious problem with the truths of the Torah and the Bible. They prefer to believe themselves to be gods - and reject the idea of a Supreme Creator. They represent everything that God says He hates.
They have sold their souls to Satan and have been doing the devil's work. They are planning, even now, to steal, kill and destroy American citizens who do not accept their ways and, eventually, the mark of the beast.
On the heels of Roe vs. Wade came women's lib - the complete debasement of women; advertising free sex and no need to be burdened with the responsibility of having children. The government will take care of you. Where is the self-esteem? The respect for oneself? And these same people believe their prayers will be answered.
