Being Chosen is Not A Choice!

When we speak of Israel and Judaism, opinions run from one extreme to the other.  However, personal prejudices aside, what do we really know about this culture and their history?  If history is correct, and by and large, I believe it is; why do most Americans of Jewish ancestry vote for Democrats when Democrats such as Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and especially, Barak Obama; have abandoned the nation of Israel?  Why does Rahm Emanuel turn his back on his heritage?  

We know the stereotypes of Jewish people in America and while some people may consider it to be real enough to criticize this culture, other people, such as myself, see it as light-hearted and endearing.  From the Family Guy portrayal of "Mort", picking up pennies in the street, to Mrs. Walowitcz (Big, Bang Theory), smothering her son and many similar examples.  I laugh at these portrayals and know they are not true.  I laugh at the over-mothering example often used to portray a Jewish mother because as a child of Italian heritage, I can relate.  I was raised with an Italian Grandmother who was very loving and while my mother did not exhibit these traits with me, she did with some of my siblings.

My impression of the Jewish people is much different than what is portrayed on television.  Over the years, I have been privileged to know some Jewish people.  What I've come to believe about this culture:

1. Having faced a centuries long struggle, the Jewish people are strong, proud and resillient. 

2. Facing a level of hatred around the world, the degree of which not felt by any other culture, as a group, the Jewish are fearless and close; which makes it more difficult to understand the actions of Rahm Emanuel.

3.  The Jewish people are strong in their faith in God!

4.  The Jewish people are well educated, as they have learned long ago that education is strength and strength is power.

5.  The Jewish people are selfless.  In a nation the size of Israel, surrounded by people who not only want to hurt, but want to extinguish the entire population and their culture from the world, the people of Israel learned long ago that there is no room for selfishness.  It is not a "me" culture, but an "us" culture.  They live by a concept long abandoned in our nation, that "united we stand, divided we fall!"

The bible speaks of the Jewish people being "the chosen".  In many biblical verses, including, Zechariah 12:1-14 (below), the bible tells of punishment or curses to be brought on those who would turn against Jerusalem.   This to me, is reason enough to be against Islam, particularly the radical sects.  This is also reason enough to be against Naziism, White  or Black Supremacy or any other group who would go against God's chosen.

Through our 2014 years of progress since Jesus died for all of us, we have learned many lessons.  Among them includes tolerance for those who have different beliefs.  I have learned that while I do not agree with their beliefs, I respect the right for Jews to believe Jesus was not God's son.  I respect Islam's right to believe in Ala as their God and Mohammad as a prophet.  I respect the right of Hindu's to worship hamburgers and I respect the right of the narcissists to believe there is no God.  Unfortunately, not all cultures have opened their minds, and not only disagree with those who do not believe as I believe, but want to vanquish non-believers from the earth.

Over the decades, our nation has been allied with Israel, not simply because of our religious obligation, but because it is the right thing to do. Today unfortunately, our nations leadership has changed directions.  Our strong support for Israel has been diluted in deference to radicalism.  We see example after example in our media every day with the current state of unrest.

Several days ago, Israeli teens were kidnapped by Palestinian militants, and were brutally murdered. In retribution for this act, Israel launched a military campaign.  It should be understood that the Palastinian agressors do not operate as a military organization, but as a terrorist organization.  To this end, they shield themselves in residential areas and base their operations in homes.  By doing this, they intentionally put innocent children in harms way.  To minimize the inevitable smear campaign, Israel sends out notices before they bomb in an effort to get innocent people out of the area.  The radical militants however, indiscriminately bomb Israeli cities, with no concern for innocent people.  The other difference between the two is how Israel protects it's citizens by intercepting the incoming missiles versus the Palastinian people allowing their "shields" to die in the name of Ala.

In our nation, we are told about a Palastinian youth who was killed by Israeli teens in retribution for the Palastinian murder of the Jewish teen.  What we have not been told is how the Palestinians who killed the innocent Jewish teens were celebrated and held up as heroes by their leaders. We are told only by a brief mention here and there, that the Israeli teens who killed the Palestinian youth were not only, not hailed as heroes, but charged by their police with the murder.  What we are being told is how Obama is criticizing Israel for their aggression against the Palestinians. Once again, we are watching our terrorist supporting President as he abandons our greatest ally in the middle east.

There have been many accusations in this country, many by me alone, about the integrity and character of our current president. I have called him a terrorist sympathizer, an enemy of the state, a socialist and a few other choice names, and I stand behind them all.  There are also those who would call Obama the anti-Christ - the most evil of evil.  I have always felt that if this guy is not the embodiment of evil, he certainly has evil coursing through his veins.  His actions and attitude not withstanding, his eyes, deep and dark, are chilling to the soul.  

Nothing speaks of the source of Obama's motivation more than his early and ongoing choice to support radical Islam while turning his back on God's chosen people in God's earthly home.  I still will not call Obama the anti-Christ as it is not up to me to make this determination.  I will however, continue speaking against him and his actions.  I will continue to believe that he is motivated by evil.  I will continue to praise and worship God, knowing that he will always guide me.  As for you, you can make your own decisions, but understand that when it comes to Israel, being chosen is not a choice, but an honor!

 

Zechariah 12:1-14

The Lord Will Give Salvation

12 The oracle of the word of the Lord concerning Israel: Thus declares the Lord, who stretched out the heavens and founded the earth and formed the spirit of man within him: ² “Behold, I am about to make Jerusalem a cup of staggering to all the surrounding peoples. The siege of Jerusalem will also be against Judah. ³ On that day I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples. All who lift it will surely hurt themselves. And all the nations of the earth will gather against it. ⁴ On that day, declares the Lord, I will strike every horse with panic, and its rider with madness. But for the sake of the house of Judah I will keep my eyes open, when I strike every horse of the peoples with blindness. ⁵ Then the clans of Judah shall say to themselves, ‘The inhabitants of Jerusalem have strength through the Lord of hosts, their God.’

Starving American Children!

When I was a child in school, I would listen as the teachers told me about how slaves were not allowed to learn to read.  It was thought that an educated slave would be dangerous or may rebel.  I learned also about how the glass ceiling kept women from advancing in our nation and how WWII was the turning point for women.

At a previous employer, I knew a manager who worked in our Corrections division - feeding prisoners.  He told me that the key to success in his division was to fill the prisoners up with rice. Rice for breakfast, rice for lunch and rice for dinner.  I asked why and he told me that rice is cheap, filling and because it is a heavy start, rice keeps the prisoners tired.  They would be less likely to cause problems if they were tired or sleeping.

I have described three very well known and successful methods for those in power to keep those considered inferior in their respective times, under control.  Today, only one of them is reasonable.  Keeping a group down, is the only idea I can imagine for what our first lady is doing to our school children under the new Federal School Lunch Program.  Unlike the convicts littering our prisons today, our government has decided to starve our children.  After all, a starving child is also calm and tired, just like our well-fed prisoners. For those who would say, "your not a parent, so you have no say in the matter", I say, bite me!  Since I was a child, I am perfectly qualified to make the determination that a child needs to eat to stay alive.

This all stems from meetings I have had with vendors showing me which items are considered "nutritious", under the 2014 guidelines as set forth by Michelle Obama.  It is important to understand this as she will likely be planning a run for President against Hillary and a few unknowns, all of whom are more likely to be qualified than either Michelle or Hillary.

As I looked at these items, which must be offered in K-12, if any snacks are made available;  I could not help but feel very sad for every kid in every school.  What's more, these disgusting morsels are not really all too nutritious by many expert's standards.  For example, there was a snack made with raw almonds and pure cane syrup.  A hearty, tasty snack which was held together by the cane syrup.  It was not sweet but it is satisfying.  It did not qualify because of the "sugar" it contained.  It was high in good fat, high in fiber, high in potassium, high in fiber (sugar) but nope.  The next item, about half in thick, an inch wide and about two inches long.  This item had nut by-products, grainy texture and an off=putting sweet taste - think old peanut butter.  The first ingredient was "whole grains" and the second was high fructose corn syrup.  Now, I am thinking because virtually every expert considers HFCS the worst food on the planet, and I agree; and a growing number are starting to realize that grains of any kind, are really not too good for you.  I knew right away that this product would never qualify.  WRONG!  This morsel qualifies because the first ingredient is whole grain.  All the garbage that follows whole grain not-withstanding, this is considered nutritious - the entire cavity full.

The next item was called simply, "Fruit Chips".  Now it was not enough that the product inside this tiny bag weighed less than the tiny bag, but the taste...the only word I could come up with was STUPID!  This product was awful!  I asked the supplier if anyone really expected people to feed this to their children?  I can assure you, the Obama girls will not be dining on this product, named appropriately since it should be categorized with another well know natural chip.  In fact, cow chips may actually taste better - let's assume so.  When I sampled this product, I could not finish even one, and I eat healthy and natural food regularly.  This product though, tasted like garbage in the literal meaning.  It tasted like I would expect an apple to taste like if it was picked from the ground in October, after sitting for several weeks and after the dog relieved himself on it a few times.  This is one item which a person would be grateful with it's small size since you would not be wasting much when you spit it back into the bag.

This, my friends, is the example of what will qualify as food for our children beginning next month or so says our president's wife.  Leaving our school vending machines will be unsalted trail mix, fresh fruit larger than a couple ounces, 1 or 2% milk - only skim milk, only white and no more than 8 ounces.  Also gone will be Special K Popped Chips, candy of any kind or size, salads and fruit smoothies, however fruit juice which is mostly sugar, can stay as long as it is 10 ounces or less.

Our first lady has determined that it is better to starve our children - keep them malnourished, than to let them run and exercise to stay healthy.  With the food we will be feeding our kids in schools, they will no longer have the energy to run or jump.  They will only be able to sit in their desks, absorbing the drivel which our schools are force-feeding children as a method of indoctrination.  After 12 years, those who live will be brain-washed into believing that they cannot think for themselves.  Those who die will be envied.

I hear people talking about how conservatives are not willing to work with the administration.  I hear the president crying like a sniveling baby about the same thing.  Are we so stupid that we buy this nonsense?  Have we become so complacent that we would allow our government, those who ruined healthcare, the VA, the post office and social security; to tell us that they are better qualified to decide what we or our kids should eat?  Have we lost our frig-gen heads?  No, I am not a parent and for my sake it is a good thing because if I had a child who was about to be fed compost, I would be pissed and everyone including Michelle, would know it.  Before you starve our American children, let's see you feed your kids some rabbit shit and see if they like it.
