Upon Governor Palin’s arrival Israelis will be celebrating the festivities of Purim.
Purim is the day Jews celebrate the story of Esther. It’s a very festive day. Kids dress up and food gifts are distributed to family and friends. People are very joyous and its common to see lots of singing and dancing in the streets. It’s customary to drink lots of wine on Purim. It is also a day of giving a lot of money to charity.
Everywhere in the world, including most of Israel, Purim began at sundown on Saturday night and ends after sundown on Sunday night.
In Jerusalem however, Purim takes place one day later and begins at sundown Sunday and ends after sundown Monday.
Governor Palin will join Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu for dinner in Jerusalem on Monday evening; The Purim dinner!

Karl Rove is a power broker for the right half of the establishment ruling class - nothing more. As such, he sees the very real threat that Sarah Palin is to The Existing Order, and it's his job to do whatever it takes to cut her off at the knees.
He will do the same thing, if he can, to any and all Tea-publicans who threaten the entrenched power of the elites.
We shall see how much real damage he can do to Sarah, but it's my guess that it won't be much. She's already been through a gauntlet of fire these last two years, and has emerged unscathed. There's not a whole lot more that he, or anyone can do, to hurt her.
Could this also be "such a time as this" for Sarah?
I knew that this was true about Sarah, the moment I first laid eyes on her in 2008. Call it what you will, but sometimes, we just know things.

I wasn't trying to school ya, Pops. Everything we say here goes to a wider audience. It's them that I'm talking to.
I’ve noticed his posse seems to be laying low, as well.
Calogirl or something like that is one, what hate for a good Conservative Christian, Sarah Palin.
Thank you. I’m on the same team, but was starting to feel a bit like I wasn’t... and I own 3 Sarah Palin t-shirts to prove I am :) I feel she’s God’s offer to give us an opportunity to save our country. I keep praying we’ll be like Nineveh. I’m sure plenty will call me crazy, but I don’t think it’s coincidence she’s in Israel for Purim.
Alcoholism has a jewish holiday?
/sorry
It is so sad that folks can get so turned around and lost. Unable to recognize friend from foe.
Judaism is so much about moderation and especially when it comes to alcohol, but on Purim that gets turned on its head. Yet, Judaism does not reject alcohol but rather places it center stage in observance in Shabbat, Pasach, and many other situations.
Yet, drinking to excess is very much frowned upon, like any behavior that is taken to excess. Except Purim. Purim is to be an expression of Joy and remembrance. Whooped em again celebrating that fills the place of fear from the hundreds of times when the ones who died were Jews, and all wondered why this could be happening.
It is a celebration of courage in the face of intrigue and old enemies who seem to have the upper hand. And, oddly, a celebration of the actions of a young woman which is unusual to say the least in the faiths of the ancients.
Here is an email that I recall reading about before the election. Not sure if it can be verified or not. I recall at the time I searched just a little for youtube videos of that speech to see if I could catch a glimpse of the account. All I could find was snippets of the speeches.
Anyway, for those that believe that God still speaks to us in some sort of fashion (as I do), here is a prophetic account for your consideration. And I thought when I heard it, it all sounded reasonable (not crazy talk like “you will rule the world, etc.”). I also thought “Well, there goes the election. Esther, and her people, had to go through a LOT of trials and suffering before she could change things.”

(note - it’s not STRANGE, but Strang - the guy’s name!):
From the site:
Pastor Mark Arnold in Lebanon, Ohio, wrote this true account. He first sent it out to a small handful of friends and relatives, never dreaming that, thanks to e-mail, it would travel around the world. As of today, he’s heard back from 50 states, 36 nations, and several major Christian ministries and news networks, and he has received more than 11,800 e-mails.
When Arnold was asked what he felt the value was in letting this story go public, he said he is seeing people moved and coming out of the “caves” they’ve been in, coming alive and realizing that they need to get involved in the affairs of the nation and not sleep through this season as the church did when believers allowed prayer to be removed from schools.
Pastor Mark Arnold of Lebanon, Ohio, writes:
On Sept. 9, the McCain/Palin bus came through a little town called Lebanon, Ohio. The Lord allowed me to go to the rally [to give McCain and Palin] a message that He wanted me to personally deliver.
Sunday Night: A burden hit me that would only shake me to my knees—I prayed and wept for our nation. Never has my heart been so broken before God. I literally interceded for these wonderful people who do not deserve all the hate against them. The God-haters are going to try everything to stop them, but they will not succeed!
God is not pleased with the “bashing” in the news of this “anointed” person [Sarah Palin]. He has called her for this time! I promised God that I would pray and hold them up in prayer. I would “listen” out and be mindful of where they were. The following day is important in this time line ... because I didn’t even know until God spoke to me.
Monday and into Monday night: The burden of prayer was so heavy that I was literally shaking and could not stop weeping. I didn’t know that they were coming to Ohio. I prayed and walked and wept and walked. I prayed and prayed and wept and prayed.
Tuesday at 2:00 a.m.: God spoke these words to me: “Go turn the radio on!” Immediately the reporter’s words were, “McCain & Palin bus to be in Lebanon later this morning for a 10:00 a.m. rally!”
Immediately on hearing that news, I heard God again. God said, “You are to go. You will meet them and give them a message for Me!”
I prayed as an intercessor and went to a place in prayer that I don’t think I’ve ever been … because the Lord had just visited me … and I knew I was on a “mission.” I had now been up since Sunday night … and now it’s Tuesday and I’ve got to go on the “Word of the Lord.” He sure became my strength as this unfolds.
I didn’t stop praying until I drove over to the town and parked the car. The news would later report they were expecting 5,000 people, [but] the actual head-count of those who had been scanned was more than 10,000 people.
I simply obeyed … and God actually told me where to stand, who to talk to … and when to be on the move. I had sure learned on the mission field, when God wants to open a door, He will do it at the appropriate time. He always has someone to assist … and even those standing beside you may just be an angel.
I struck up a conversation with an agent on the ground. He simply said, “I can’t allow you to stand here!” Here is where the bus was going to actually pull up to. They had to make a much larger perimeter, so the entire area was now being moved back several blocks. The only other thing he told me to do was to go through the metal detector zone and just watch from the back. So, that’s what I did.
Due to [the] sensitivity of the Internet, I can’t share much of the story. As to what happened next, [it] was a definite God thing all the way.
Looking over the shoulders and backs and heads of all those people … I knew it would take a miracle for what God told me to do.
As I was standing there, two Boy Scouts came running up my back. Literally, they almost knocked me to the ground because they were running so fast behind me, up my back and over to the right. These Boy Scouts were about Junior High age. Their Scout Leader and several others were behind them, but as the two out front [were] trying to push through the crowd, saying they were late, the smaller scouts were left in their dust. The Scout Leader, who was with a McCain rep. from the State, grabbed me and told me [to] bring the other Scouts up front as they try to keep up with the first two that just came through.
I just became the leader of the rest of the Scouts to lead them right up front and center. As the rep. was shouting back at me to bring the Scouts forward, the people parted just like God parted the Red Sea.
I marched those boys right up front and to the right of the stage as one was looking from the back. When I got there I was fifteen feet from the podium. God said, “Stand here, and don’t move from this spot.”
Within five minutes the bus pulled up, and around the other side McCain, Sarah Palin and her husband, Todd, stepped up and the speeches took off. I was where God placed me … and even Sarah Palin and Todd were standing on my side of the stage. I made eye contact, I gave them thumbs-up gestures … and I knew they were just happy to see me standing there. Ha ha.
When they came around the podium and started on the other side, I knew they were coming right toward me. A little lady who stood by me, reached up and told the rep. that they had promised a picture with her because she was the one who had lost a son in Iraq recently. The rep. confirmed she would get a pic with them and they would talk to her.
When McCain came to hug her … he immediately shook my hand and following his moment with her, I shook his hand as he grabbed my hand, now for the second time, and I said, “God wants you to know that I’m praying for you, Sir!” He thanked me and kept smiling. I repeated that phrase to him five times. He grabbed my hands and looked right into my eyes and said, “I won’t make it without prayer. Sir, thank you for praying for me, and don’t let one day go by that you don’t pray for me. I need all the prayers that I can get. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
As he moved to my right, Sarah Palin came over to my left side … standing over the crowd and then looking at the little lady who had lost the son. It took a moment for her to shake some hands and people were pushing in all around. Sarah came and got on her hands and knees on that side of the stage and hugged that little mom, telling her, “It was not in vain.” She promised her support.
It was at this moment Sarah Palin reached out for me to help her up, and as I was assisting her to stand, I was now face-to-face with her, and God said, “Open up your mouth and I will fill it.”
Here is what came out:
“God wants you to know that you are a present-day Esther!”
[She immediately began to cry!]
“God wants to tell you that you are chosen for such a time as this!”
“You are called, and chosen to be a leader.”
“Don’t lose heart and don’t fear man.”
“The news and naysayers and criticizers are going to be very hateful toward you … and in the days ahead they are going to turn up the heat … but do not fear.”
“You are a present-day Esther.” You are an Esther. You are an Esther!
“Keep your eyes on God and know that He has chosen you to reign!”
“Stay strong ... be strong ... don’t tire. Don’t be weary in well-doing. Be strong.”
Her husband, Todd, came over, and I told him what I told her. He began to cry.
I emphasized the fact that he was to guard her at this time … and know that “she is God-called and God-anointed.”
“This is a God-thing and your wife is a present-day Esther ... she is for God to use at this time ... she is an Esther ... she is an Esther ... she is an Esther.”
“You will be hated … but stand strong … God has called both of you to stand!”
“We are praying and I am praying for you!”
At this moment, McCain came right to where I was finishing talking to Todd, and I told Mr. McCain exactly what I told to Sarah and Todd Palin.
“Mr. McCain … they are called of God and she is an Esther.”
“Don’t lose hope and don’t lose heart.”
“We are praying for all of you!”
He shook my hand and with a deep look of understanding what I had just said, he said, “Thank you for your prayers and support ... I really do mean that!”
And he turned and shook more hands … and I watched them as they went through the crowd.
When I got to my car I sat there for quite a long time … knowing the God of the universe had just used me to deliver a message confirming to Sarah and Todd to realize they are truly chosen vessels of God.
I wept. I have not stopped praying and crying. My heart is full knowing they had to have all the staging and all the hype and all the crowd … but the God of heaven and earth … wanted to give them a divine God-appointment!
To God be all the glory and honor.
If anyone wants to know if I believe God can speak. Yes … absolutely, is my answer!
Be praying for me … and let me know what you think about all of this.

Establishment hacks on both sides of the aisle are well aware of that, so there's no doubt in my mind that they pay people to operate here. Divide the Freepers, and you've conquered the foundational power of the Tea Party. It's as simple as that.
Even if pissant wasn't working for someone, he sure did deliver for them.
Windflier,
Very true. We speak to two audiences. Some time ago, maybe back in 2008 a poster here gave the definition for "concern trolls" and "eeyores". They went on to relate that they used to work in a PR boutique using those techniques to infiltrate blogs and forums to discourage users. That post was quite an education for me. It made me realize that this is not just some group of friends chatting here (though it can be that too).
I did not save the post so it is lost to time. Here is a link to some similar information by a long time poster, Starwise:

That is nice but I can have joy, remembrance and courage without alcohol
LOL - It's a DECEPTIVE headline and you know it.
You should pray for him. People go over the edge here. I am a little worried about the man. This site has driven me over the deep end once or twice, but Pissant has been spending a lot of time here. Now that he is not allowed here I hope he is okay.
Palin is like Reagan in that both are hated by the “Plaid pants Republicans”. Reagan wanted to rock the boat and go head to head with the democrats. Palin wants to do the same. Both Palin and Reagan werent from Ivy league colleges and had working class roots. The RINO set saddled Reagan with Bush the 1st to add a RINO to the mix.
I like Palin. It took me a little bit because I was leery about her depth, but she seems like she can do the job and do it very well.
As for Pissant:Maybe Palin reminded him of a girl who shot him down in high school or snubbed him at a bar. His hate for the woman was over the top, bordering on psycohic. Either that or he was getting cash from Soros or some other lefist group.
Personal opinion... I think she has what it takes to be another Thatcher.
spot on
