War On Terror: A sketchy diagram of al-Qaida's defenses left behind by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi may prove to be the key to victory in Iraq. Sometimes in the fog of war, the fog lifts.It may not rank in the annals of warfare with the breaking of the Imperial Japanese Code, which led to our naval victory at Midway in World War II, or the cracking of the Nazi Ultra Codes, which Dwight Eisenhower said was decisive in the Allied victory. But a map left behind in a safe house by the deceased leader of al-Qaida in Iraq may have helped...

A video of the 911 attacks and some of the supposed demonic faces seen in the smoke. I don't believe it is really manifestations of "fallen angels" (although I guess it could be), but it was fascinating and I thought some people might be interested just for entertainment. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRocVVDvoIs

Israeli Hospital Treats Wounded PalestiniansBy Julie Stahl CNSNews.com Jerusalem Bureau Chief February 09, 2007 http://www.cnsnews.com/news/viewstory.asp?Page=/ForeignBureaus/archive/200702/INT20070209e.html Ashkelon, Israel (CNSNews.com) - Despite the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Israel continues to treat Palestinians in its medical system, including an Israeli hospital in this southern coastal city that is helping those wounded in recent internecine fighting in the Gaza Strip. Barzilai Medical Center has treated sick and wounded Palestinians for more than a decade but over recent weeks many more "severely injured" Palestinians than usual have been hospitalized there, said Dr. Ron Lobel, the hospital's medical director. This week 11 Palestinians were in Barzilai's wards,...

IDF ordered not to change Gaza RESTRAINT policy (DESPITE TERROR ATTACK)Jerusalem Post, Israel - Despite Monday's suicide attack in Eilat, the government will maintain its policy of restraint in Gaza.

Israeli officer gave bomber a ride Abraham Rabinovich, Jerusalem January 31, 2007 http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,21145761-601,00.html EXTRAORDINARY details emerged yesterday of how an Israeli army reserve colonel gave a lift to a suicide bomber and considered running him over when he suspected his true mission. The revelations came as the Israeli Government rejected a request from the army to immediately retaliate against Monday's suicide attack in the southern city of Eilat, in an attempt to hold together the fragile peace process. The attack on a bakery killed three people and the bomber, marking the first such suicide bombing in nine months.

Israel - good vs evil   More on humane Israel the giver and Arab Palestinian the exploiter     December 26, 2006   Reality Check   Excessive restrain not "excessive force"   The restrained Israel that is only branded with ridiculous charges of "excessive force". Since the cease fire broken between Israel and all "Palestinians" (December 2006), more than 55 rockets were launched from "Palestinians" on Israeli civilians including on a nursery school in Sderot, that particular attack was immediately after Israel pledged for releasing 100 Million dollars to them. But the UN can never seem to find any time...

Separating reason from rhetoric Lorne Gunter, National Post Published: Friday, September 22, 2006 Moral equivalence isn't so much the ability to see the truth in all sides as it is the inability to recognize evil, even when it jumps up and bites you on the buttocks. Communism's Western apologists -- who were legion in academia, the media, politics, the bureaucracy and the cultural elite -- were only able to convince themselves the West was no better than the Soviet Union or China because they were willing to dismiss the gulags, famines, purges and psychiatric prisons while overemphasizing such comparatively...

Islamists to Zionists: "We'll make SURE our kids die, so we can murder yours"!Israel's war of not hitting Arab civilians VS Islamists FOR it.Since the bluff of Islamists having issues kept being revealed with each "one way" concession by the Zionists to the "never sattisfied" Arabs, more so when the Zionists gave Gaza land to the "Palestinians" and the "Palestinians" overwhelmingly gave the region and to the world the gift of: electing officially the terrorists of Hamas to be their leaders. They never can justify their killing of civilians, intentionally, how do they combat with this most honest most human...

Did I hear Rush Limbaugh say "Culture of Life"? I think I have even heard our local talk show hosts use the phrase. But I wonder if they really understand what it means. It would appear by the polls, the comments of folks on talk radio and news shows and by conversations with friends and relatives that very few people really understand the issue at stake in this battle between the cultures of Life and Death. I think people on both sides of the Terri Schiavo argument have really missed the whole point. Most discussion revolves around two issues: Michael...

The case of Terri Schiavo is another episode in the ongoing war between the children of light and the children of darkness, a titanic cosmic struggle that dates back to the very beginning of time. So, too, is the unspeakable killing rampage in Minnesota where teen-aged Jeff Weise gunned down his grandfather and his grandmother and eight other victims at his high school. It is a struggle often referred to in the Essenic texts in the Dead Sea Scrolls as the war between light and darkness, described in the New Testament and attested to by scores of scholars and holy...

I never believed that I would live in a country that would, in effect, execute a brain-damaged woman who never hurt anyone in her life. The story of Terri Schiavo should outrage every decent American. While our soldiers valiantly fight and die across the sea so complete strangers can enjoy human rights, here at home an American woman who suffered severe brain damage 15 years ago is being subjected to death by dehydration and starvation by order of a judge. Today, her feeding tube was removed. The humanity of every society is determined first and foremost by how it treats...

Do you hate evil? Much of humanity doesn't. But if you embrace Judeo-Christian values, you must. A core value of the Bible is hatred of evil. Indeed, it is the only thing the Bible instructs its followers to hate -- so much so that love of God is equated with hatred of evil. "Those who love God -- you must hate evil," the Psalms tell us. The notion of hating evil was and remains revolutionary. The vast majority of ancients didn't give thought to evil. Societies were cruel, and their gods were cruel. Nor did higher religions place hating evil...

Okay folks, here is something I stumbled upon this evening. I find it remarkable what these people believe, think, and say. The website is called retrovsmetro.org and is filled with various misquotes, slanderous implications, and misleading facts that lend the viewer to feel as if "progressive" thinking is more modern and "hip" than good old fashion conservative ideals. After doing some digging, I found the following on Amazon.com:The Great DivideThe description says it all: The Great Divide explains why America is so bitterly divided and how it is really two countries whose people, with different economic interests, think and vote...

July 18, 2004 LIVES When One Is Enough By AMY RICHARDS as told to AMY BARRETT I grew up in a working-class family in Pennsylvania not knowing my father. I have never missed not having him. I firmly believe that, but for much of my life I felt that what I probably would have gained was economic security and with that societal security. Growing up with a single mother, I was always buying into the myth that I was going to be seduced in the back of a pickup truck and become pregnant when I was 16. I had friends...

<p>The U.S. Senate has passed Ted Kennedy's so-called "hate crimes" bill. In the words of the Traditional Values Coalition, it will criminalize a person's thoughts and provides unequal penalties for the same crime—depending upon the motivation of the accused. That means that the media that possibly provoked or influenced commission of the crime will come in for scrutiny. Yet our liberal media have remained silent on the constitutional and First Amendment implications of this approach.</p>

By TIM MOLLOY, Associated Press Writer LOS ANGELES - A spokesman for Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (news - web sites) said Sunday that the governor would not apologize for calling lawmakers "girlie men," despite criticisms from Democrats that the remark was sexist and homophobic. Schwarzenegger dished out the insult at a rally Saturday as he claimed Democrats were delaying the budget by catering to special interests. "If they don't have the guts to come up here in front of you and say, 'I don't want to represent you, I want to represent those special interests, the unions, the trial lawyers ......

The following is a brief excerpt from the book reviews secition of the June 2004 Homiletic and Pastoral Review, page 73.The article is titledAnti-Christian BiasPERSECUTION: HOW LIBERALS ARE WAGING WAR AGAINST CHRISTIANITY. By David LimbaughExcerpt from review:Persecution might have made an even stronger and more compelling case had it compared the state of present day American society with other historical instances of a Christian nation entering a period of religious repression (e.g., Russia at the time of the Communist revolution), thereby drawing lessons that might be applicable to our own situation.For instance, many experts describe the unfolding of a religious...

MAN KICKED OUT OF THE YMCA FOR EVANGELIZING Living Waters via www.RepentAmerica.com July 9, 2004 We, Living Waters, wanted to bring to your attention a recent incident that took place with one of our ministry partners, Larry Lee, who lives in Marietta, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta. As you read his account, we are confident that you will see the unacceptable and unfair manner in which he has been treated by the YMCA. More importantly we are confident that you will agree with us in concluding that Larry's civil and religious rights have been violated. This concerns us because it...
