I know that the position I have taken on what is going on in Gaza is not the "popular American" stance.  However, considering what I have seen out of news programs, OUT of the US, I am flabbergasted that ANY American can think and say the things I have recently been privvy to.
"All those towel-head terroritst should be wiped offa the face of the earth".
"All Palestinians are terrorists and they are out to kill us".
"those awful Arabs use thier children as human shields"

Well, sorry, but this is total BULLSHIT.  Most Palestinians are families who would certainly prefer to be left to live a normal life in a civilised world.  Most Israeli citizens (civilians) would like to see this, too.  Most Palestinians (of yore, as in 1917) were happy to welcome the Jews into their country.  After WWII, they certainly DID open their arms and their doors to the Holocaust survivors.  And, now, this is the thanks they get?
No, Hamas did not start this war.  Yes, Gaza was "ceded to Palestinians".. but, actually, Palestine was a country long before Israel became a state... so, basically, Israel only gave back a smalll portion of the country to the rightful owners.  It's similar to what European settlers did to the Native Americans, and many of us are embarassed about that, sooo.. ?
Now, the "gift" of the Gaza Strip is not exactly a present.  When the Israelies decided to place strict embargoes on Gaza;  when they prevented these people from bringing in food and fuel and medical supplies, Gaza began to look very similar to the Jewish ghettoes of WWII and the bombings (for years, not for just the 20 days that this Hamas/Israeli seige has gone on thusfar) of children (Gaza is comprised of more than one-half children) looks like yet another Holocaust.  Yes, we don't only condone what Israel is doing and has done.  We also supply them with weapons and money to further their cause.  HOW is the US correct in this?
Finally, the United Nations has had enough and is talking of trying Israel for war crimes.  Sadly, this is after approximately 2 milllion Palestinians are dead.  How many MORE lives will Israel take before this finally is ended?  And, if you encamp and oppress a people for decades, how do you then blame them for fighting back?
Are the Palestinians who fight back terrorists or are they freedom-fighters?  From what I have seen (on news other than US media), the latter seems to be more apt a description.

Whew, I have a lot to say today,

I read on other sites, the accounts of promises of one Ed Hale (from West-Texas), of Plains Radio,  with great anticipation.  As of last Thursday, I had absolutely NO reason to not believe Ed Hale.  I went to his site and to other sites, back and forth, checking in to see if the divorce decree of Obama's parents actually included the words, "one minor born IN kenya", as had been promised by Mr. Ed. Hale.  When the info came in, I tried to view the documents that Mr. Hale had posted... nothing but grey.  I was unable to view his copies,
So, I went to the site of Orly Taitz, a woman I have come to respect.  Yes, Orly had the papers.  I perused them and, guess what?  NO mention of the minor son (Obama the poser) being born anywhere than of the marriage of these two.  Amazing.
Yes, at this time, I am  thoroughly disgusted with Ed Hale.  I had NOT been aware of the contentious relationship between Momma E (who has never told ME a lie) and Mr Hale, who seems to like hearing his own voice so much that he would say ANYTHING.

Mr. Hale;  this is a challange to YOU.  If you have these documents or ANY other documents regarding the birth of Barack/Barry Obama/Soetero, Prove IT.  If not, just shut the heck up.  And, while shutting up, send the cash back to all of the peiple who "donated" in good fatih in order that these docs would be made public.
Mr, you have a huge helping of crow to partake of.
Damn~

Here it is, MY first blog on this site.  I have to say I am about as frustrated, as an American, as can be.  Obama (the poser-elect) is here, probably illegally, and his aunt is ALSO here, illegally,  Are there other Obama's here, illegally, too?
No, I don't want to come off as one of those crazy tin-foil-hat wearing whackoes, but, come ON.  This woman, the Kenyan aunt of Obama, came to this country, seeking assylum from her homeland.  She was here and allowed to stay here (though without a work-visa, so how, financially DID she live?), for years while her visa was looked into. The Obama family is not exactly "set", financially, so how did the woman pay her way?   Ultimately, appoximately six years ago, she was DENIED ASSYLUM and an order of DEPORTATION was given to the woman.  Did she not have to go to the INS in order to be deported?  Legally speaking, YES, she did.  Did she actually pay attention and follow the laws of this country?  In  actuality, no, she did not.
Now, did Auntie O hide from the INS?  Apparently, NO. (and, you're gonna love this)  She has been here and living, of course illegally, on the backs of and the dime of the American public.  How is that?   Somehow, the housing authority does NOT take citizenship into consideration when making decisions on who CAN be given a roof over their heads.  Now, I don't have a problem with this when it comes to mamas of babies who were born here, but this woman was far past child-bearing age, so again:  COME ON!   What kind of guts does it take to do this?
 Obviously, MY next question is this:  Didn't her nephew know that the woman, who was slated to be deported, was still here and that she was here illegally?  If these are answered in the affirmative, then O was certainly complicit in her breaking OUR laws.
Don't even get me started when it comes to one hand not knowing what the other is doing when it comes to the INS versus the State of Massachussets and the City of Boston// Cambridge.  Something is really wrong here and, as of today, I have word that Obama actually MOVED the woman out of "her" public housing apartment. 

Okay;  so, did Obama do the right thing and follow the laws of this country?  Did he finally put the woman on a boat or plane?  Has she been sent back to Kenya?  If not, why not?  Her appeals have been expired for at least six years.  Nothing, not even a presidential pardon, would keep the woman here LEGALLY.  So, BO;  question is:  what gives, buddy?
It's time that ALL Obama's, who are here  illegaly, either put up or shut up and get the heck out of America.  If you are a citizen, you can stay;  if you have stayed and your staying has broken the laws of this land, it's time for you to go.  Do not go to another state or even another city.  AUNTIE O;. time to GO HOME!
