1883- ALL AND ALL IT’S JUST
ANOTHER BRICK [NOTE] IN THE WALL?
So the news for the last few days
has focused on Romney’s ‘world tour’.
As most of you know- he embarked
on this trip to boost his foreign policy credentials.
And of course- the ‘main stream
media’ has made it sound like he has made the worst gaffs since the time Biden told
one of his political ‘close friends’ to stand up at some rally.
Biden ‘go ahead- stand- don’t be
shy’ of course the guy sat there- still- hoping Biden would move on.
Not Biden.
‘Go ahead stand man- stand damn
it- enough of this false MODESTY- stand!!”
Finally- someone from the
audience yelled ‘he’s crippled you ….’
Close friend- remember?
So- in London Romney’s asked
about the Olympics- does he think there might be some security problems.
And as a former CEO who ran the
Olympics in the past- he was honest- he said there might be some difficulties
with the security people who were hired to do the job.
Oh my- the press in the U.K. and
the U.S. made it sound like this was the worst thing in the world.
They spent days- top headlines-
top world news- yes- ‘how can this be- Romney singlehandedly has destroyed the
greatest coalition ever- NATO and the Brits will fall apart now!! Oh my!!!’
I mean it’s hilarious.
Most don’t realize that Romney simply
expressed- in a nice way- what the British press has been saying for weeks.
As a matter of fact- the security
company who was hired to do security were about 3,000 men short.
The British military filled the
gap.
This is bad- very- very bad.
Though I’m sure the military are
good guys- yet they are not trained for this type of job.
The London games is a major
target for terrorism- and if the truth be told- Romney’s comments were mild.
But because they decided to portray
them the way they did- now the media are stuck in a way- because the games have
had a bad start.
Most of the seats are empty- they
actually need people to attend the events.
Yet- you have people who can’t
get tickets.
Why?
They don’t know for sure- but it
might be that lots of companies bought tickets- and gave them to their people-
and the people are not going.
I mean I’m sure it couldn’t be
the fact that the media have been reporting for weeks that the security is in
fact not good- no- it can’t be that.
Either way- Romney was right- and
those who follow the news know it.
Then- Romney trotted off to
Israel.
Of course the media have found
their niche- they are waiting to stomp on him every time they get a chance.
So- he tells the Israelis ‘your
culture obviously has contributed to your success as a nation’.
Okay- is this true or not?
Look- as a bald faced statement-
it is true.
What did the media say?
Oh my- Romney has insulted the
Arab world- he has defamed the Palestinians- how could he ever have made a
statement like this!
Now- as an independent- I do not
always side with U.S. policy in that part of the world.
And- I think the American Evangelical
church has made some big mistakes when they read the bible- and try to fit
current U.S. policy in with their interpretation of end time events.
So- I do not see the Palestinian
problem as one side being the enemy [Palestinians] and the other as the ‘people
of God inheriting the land’.
For the most part those are Old Testament
mindsets that overlook the New Testament view- that we are all called to
inherit the kingdom thru the Cross.
So- just wanted to make that
clear.
But- the truth is Israel has one
of strongest Democracies in that region of the world.
They are governed with a system
of courts and laws- that have even ruled on the side of Arab people- against
their own govt.!
That’s rare- very rare- you do
not find that in Arab states- that a court in Iran would rule against their
leaders- and side with a Jew.
You have certain Arab states-
that to even be Jewish would get you killed on the spot.
And some Arab states [not all!]
have no real rule of law- even though they have tried- many are living a
lawless existence.
Okay- I know there’s more to the
debate- but on its face- Romney simply told the truth.
Yet the media are reporting it as
a huge blunder- the likes of which has never been seen before!!
So- they show a clip of Romney
putting a folded prayer request in the Wailing Wall [Jerusalem].
They then do a quick story ‘I
wonder what he said’.
You know- it’s a traditional
thing- the wall is a place for the Jewish people to connect with God- and they
pray daily at the wall.
So- Romney kinda says what he wrote
in the note- he says he thanked God for the source of our salvation- a few
other things.
Then they show the shot of Obama
when he did his note- of course they had the scoop form Obama’s note.
He asked for ‘wisdom and
knowledge to govern the people’.
Basically the same prayer that
king Solomon prayed [convenient that this slipped out- in Jerusalem!]
Then they had the shot of good
ole G.W. [Bush].
I braced myself.
They simply showed him putting
his hands on the wall.
I was waiting for Brain Ross to
break in [you know- Ross is the news guy who ‘outed’ Jim Holmes from the Colorado
shooting- he said he was a Tea Partier from Aurora- of course he outed an
innocent man].
Yeah- I was waiting for the ‘Ross
Report’.
‘George- I have breaking news- I
don’t know if this is the same GW from Texas- but a goat herder was walking by
the wall- and he found this note had fallen- strangely- it was signed by a GW
from Texas’.
Go on Brian- what does it say
man?
‘Well- like I said- we don’t know
if it’s Bush- but the note says- and I quote- “What’s it like to be a wall”
unquote’.
Yeah- I was waiting for the
scoop.
So- you get the idea- the media
have the power- and the desire- to depict one side as total idiots- and the
other as those who can do no wrong.
I’m not on either side- trust me-
but the bias is hard not to see.
Okay- I actually do have more to
say- maybe tomorrow.
Right after I post this- I’ll
post some pics from the weekend- now that I got my smart phone- I’m taken pics.
In a little while I will be driving
my daughter to San Antonio- she’s catching a flight back to Indiana- she’s
staying there for now- her boyfriend has been working across the country- right
now they are in Indiana.
So- I’m sure I’ll take some pics.
That’s it for now- enjoy the
pics.
And don’t forget the lesson of
the day.
If you’re in a political rally-
and Biden says ‘go ahead- stand up man- for the love of Pete’.
Just leave- it will save you from
a very awkward moment for sure.
Note- Do me a favor, those who
read/like the posts- re-post them on other sites as well as the site you read
them on. Thanks- John. Don’t forget to scroll down on the timeline [Facebook] -
I have posted lots.
