DemocRats Think Hurricane Hitting New Orleans is Funny
I will try and restrain myself in expressing my utter contempt for the Democrats. Listen to a sitting Democratic Congressman from South Carolina Don Spratt and Don Fowler, former Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, gleefully talking about the calamity that will be wrecking American lives in Louisiana. In a less enlightened age they would be hog-tied, tarred and feathered. Hat tip : Powerline

ReplyDeleteMainstream Democrats are little different than Radical New Leftists of the 70's.
ReplyDelete...and Obama is further left and imbued with more Anti-Americanism than Mainstream Democrats.
Yet folks like Peggy Noonan and Pat Buchanan still give him credit for his (teleprompter assisted) Golden Tongue, as tho they never heard him ad-lib, or made themselve's aware of his hate-America Roots.
Every once in awhile I review that video of Hitler and the German youth rallies. I served in Germany for a couple of years and was always amazed at how normal the people appeared. There was a disconnect between them and their history.
ReplyDeleteAfter awhile, I realized that there was no disconnect at all, but it was not just about Germans, it was about human beings. The psychology of humanity is predictable. Individuals may not be.
Democracy is dependent on the human mob and the human mob is herded by their masters. A sheep dog understands the group mentality of the flock and the manipulating classes understand the dog.

ReplyDelete"Palin: A Small Town Politician with A Small Comprehension of Ethics
If this is true, it is an alarming abuse of power and the mark of a very small mind.
From Josh Marshall:
Gov. Palin is embroiled in her own trooper-gate scandal up in Alaska. In short, she's accused of using her pull as governor to get her ex-brother-in-law fired as a state trooper. The brother-in-law is embroiled in an ugly divorce and custody with Palin's sister. And after his boss wouldn't fire the brother-in-law, she fired the boss. Palin originally insisted there was nothing to the story. More recently, she was forced to admit the one of her top deputies had pushed to get the guy fired.
I couldn't care less that Palin eats elk, fishes and plays hockey. I care about intelligence, integrity, insight and an appreciation for public obligations that should never be compromised in the service of personal, petty, vindictive impulses.
Tip to Lindsay Byerstein"
..a little fast on the trigger.
ReplyDeleteEarlier I posted the guy that got fired saying NO ONE told him directly to fire the trooper.
ReplyDelete...but that get's lost in the (intentionally) distracting details.
Marshall is a slimeball, only recently out of college.
Famous, now, as a great blogger.
Back to the subject at hand...
ReplyDeleteThis video highlights the amazing power of the selection of Palin (assuming and hoping that it works). Everybody that is paying attention knows about the cynicism of professional politicians. People have resigned themselves to the system. Palin offers, dare I say, "HOPE" that maybe, just maybe, it can be "CHANGE"d and reformed the right way.
Doug's "achingly phony" link shows the weakness to the Obama case. Palin, in her introduction piece showed a fressh, real, repeat, real honest expression of reform, and the Republican party is a worthy place to start the process.
Push Back hard on the Democratic Mean Machine.

ReplyDeleteHow Palin Got Picked
ReplyDeleteYeah, guess Iowa is beyond repair, thanks to some genuine straight talk from McCain.

The Hebrew word for Christians is Notzrim. This word comes from "notzrei ha-Brit", "keepers of the Covenant". Jesus and his sect were Nazorenes. They did not come from Nazareth. Nazareth did not exist at that time.
James the Just, brother of Jesus, lived in Jerusalem and is called by the Dead Sea Scrolls the "teacher of righteousness".
So who is it that is described by the Dead Sea Scrolls as the "Liar" and adversary of the Teacher from within the community and the "Wicked Priest" from the outside? I think the answer is obvious. It is that Roman spy, Paulus of Tarsus.
Lindsey Graham, gotta be one of, if not the worst Pub scumbags in the Senate.
ReplyDelete..and the Democrats are pooh poohing Palin and the woman vote. Here is a little secret. Let the woman vote resolve itself. Palin will be most effective with white men. Yes, the nasty of nasties, white men.
ReplyDeleteShe is their kind of gal.
Get them and you win.

By way of comparison, on the day he was selected as Barack Obama's running mate, Delaware Senator Joseph Biden was viewed favorably by 43% of voters."
ReplyDeleteIts too early to get into the cross-tabs too deeply but here are some interesting points:
Men had a more favorable impression of Palin than women (58% to 48%)
Palin also did extremely well in the 40-49 age demographic
37% of unaffiliated voters were more likely to vote for McCain with Palin on the ticket
Rasmussen reports on the first impressions of Sarah Palin:
ReplyDelete"After her debut in Dayton and a rush of media coverage, a new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey finds that 53% now have a favorable opinion of Palin while just 26% offer a less flattering assessment.
Palin earns positive reviews from 78% of Republicans, 26% of Democrats and 63% of unaffiliated voters. Obviously, these numbers will be subject to change as voters learn more about her in the coming weeks. Among all voters, 29% have a Very Favorable opinion of Palin while 9% hold a Very Unfavorable view.
"President Bush was criticized after Katrina struck in August 2005 because he stuck to a schedule that took him from his ranch in Texas on a two-day trip to Arizona and California. There, he promoted a Medicare proposal while making just scant references to Katrina even as it slammed the Gulf Coast. Bush even happily strummed a guitar backstage at one event. He did not return to Washington until two days after the storm and did not visit the region until five days after."

ReplyDeleteThe Left was Right.
"Senator Lindsey Graham, who is close to both McCain and Lieberman, pressed the choice on the Republican nominee and quietly made phone calls to key conservatives to gauge whether they would support a McCain-Lieberman ticket. They received word back from such prominent social conservatives as former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, former Ohio secretary of state Ken Blackwell, Utah governor Jon Huntsman, conservative activist Gary Bauer, among others--some of whom enthusiastically agreed to support the pick and others who said they would not oppose it. Several pro-life senators also signaled their willingness to support a Lieberman pick. New York representative Peter King won support for a McCain-Lieberman ticket from several of his House colleagues.
ReplyDeleteRudy Giuliani, too, supposedly placed a call to McCain urging him to pick Lieberman. In a telephone interview Thursday, Giuliani acknowledged talking to McCain about the selection but would not confirm--or deny--that he pushed Lieberman.
It wasn't enough for McCain, apparently. On Sunday the 24th, he met with his closest advisers to discuss the process. "One adviser, tasked with taking the temperature of the conservative base, had strongly made the case to McCain that it would be a disaster for the party and that the base would revolt," reported ABC's Jan Crawford Greenburg. "McCain concluded he could not go that route."

ReplyDeleteEarliest history & archaeological evidence
A Nazareth neighborhood at sunsetArchaeological research has revealed a funerary and cult center at Kfar HaHoresh, about two miles (3 km) from Nazareth, dating back roughly 9000 years (to what is known as the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B era).[9] The remains of some 65 individuals were found, buried under huge horizontal headstone structures, some of which consisted of up to 3 tons of locally-produced white plaster. Decorated human skulls uncovered there have led archaeologists to believe that Kfar HaHoresh was a major cult centre in that remote era.[10]
Chad Emmet authored a sociological study on modern Nazareth entitled "Beyond the Basilica: Christians and Muslims in Nazareth." This book attempts to "better understand how Christians and Muslims have managed to live together for centuries in relative peace in a region known for its ethnic and religious conflicts, and to determine to what degree they have remained segregated in religious-based quarters."[11] Emmett claims that archaeological excavations in the vicinity of the present-day Basilica of the Annunciation and St. Joseph have revealed pottery dating from the Middle Bronze Age (2200 to 1500 BC) and ceramics, silos and grinding mills from the Iron Age (1500 to 586 BC).[11] However, excavations conducted prior to 1931 in the Franciscan venerated area revealed "no trace of a Greek or Roman settlement" there,[12] and according to studies written between 1955 and 1990, no archaeological evidence from Assyrian, Babylonian, Persian, Hellenistic or Early Roman times have been found.[13][14] Bagatti, the principal archaeologist at the venerated sites in Nazareth, unearthed quantities of later Roman and Byzantine artefacts,[15] attesting to unambiguous human presence there from the 2nd century AD onward.
Emmett also claims that "homes and tombs built of stone masonry with back rooms of natural or rock-hewn caves were also found that date to the Roman era (63 BC to 324 AD)."[16] However, this familiar claim that the Nazarenes were troglodytes (cave dwellers) is impossible, for "the caves of Galilee are wet or damp from December to May, and can only be used during the summer and autumn."[17]
Finally, Emmett claims that "In light of the archaeological data, there is speculation that Nazareth's first inhabitants could have been Canaanites, then Israelites and Galilean Jews."[16] Indeed, the Bronze-Iron Age inhabitants must have been Canaanites (pre-Israelite inhabitants of the land), but lack of archaeological evidence from Assyrian, Babylonian, Persian, Hellenistic or Early Roman times (see above), at least in the major excavations between 1955 and 1990, shows that Israelite presence in the basin is unsubstantiated.
James Strange, an American archaeologist, notes that “Nazareth is not mentioned in ancient Jewish sources earlier than the third century AD. This likely reflects its lack of prominence both in Galilee and in Judaea.”[18] Strange first estimates Nazareth’s population at the time of Christ to be “roughly 1,600 to 2,000 people”, and in a subsequent publication at “a maximum of about 480.”[19] Some have argued that the absence of textual references to Nazareth in the Old Testament and the Talmud, as well as the works of Josephus, suggest that a town called 'Nazareth' did not exist in Jesus' day.

The Original Kool Aid Capitol
There are caves 2 miles (3 km) from Haifa with human remains and tools dating over 150,000 years. Does that mean Haifa is over 150,000 years old?
ReplyDeleteI really don't have any dog in the fight on matters Biblical. It's a misreading of the whole saga to try to make it fit this or that outlook. Blake knew this, as have all the writers that have seen the contours of the myth. Which is broken by the way. The real myth would have a preamble of a time before time, of no time, before creation, creation being the fall itself. But what we get is a wandering Eve and a snake that talks.
ReplyDelete..^the Sadducee High Priest?

ReplyDeleteIt shows that folk have been around there a hell of a long time, but, it don't matter one way or the other.
Black Elk's folks had been ahunting on the North American continent from time out of mind(in their myth--in actuality they had been on the plains for two or three hundred years) and his myth is all there, all of a piece. The myth doesn't rely on archaeology.

All myths are some historical truth. That's what we should be investigating. Without truth there's no basis for rationality. Without rationality there's no purpose in human life.

No. Myths derive a purpose. A purpose derived to the service of what and whom?

ReplyDeleteThe myths say, there is always something more. That's what is is. A Bastian elementary idea.
ReplyDeleteYou're talking about meanings and I'm talking about purpose.

ReplyDeleteThe idea finally comes from the body, and the body arises out of the earth, and the earth finally arises out of the starry system, which arises finally out of 'energy'. Out of that which is. We arise out of that which is. We is.

ReplyDeleteMat doesn't get it. Yet. Though he will sometime. He is, and thinks he is not.
ReplyDeleteYour argument is that we are that of which we arise. A doorknob is given rise out of energy. Bob was given rise out of energy. So is Bob a doorknob?
ReplyDeleteMat, whom I like, needs remedial reading in metaphysics.

ReplyDeleteThere is the Jewish story about how The Creator of the Universe told Moses to sit in the cave, and he passed by, only showing his back sides.
