MOSCOW —  President Vladimir Putin warned that Moscow could take “retaliatory steps” if Washington proceeds with plans to build a missile defense system for Europe, including possibly aiming nuclear weapons at targets on the continent.

Speaking to foreign reporters days before he heads to Germany for the annual summit with President Bush and the other Group of Eight leaders, Putin assailed the White House plan to place a radar system in the Czech Republic and interceptor missiles in neighboring Poland. Washington says the system is needed to counter a potential threat from Iran.

In an interview released Monday, Putin suggested that Russia may respond to the threat by aiming its nuclear weapons at Europe.

“If a part of the strategic nuclear potential of the United States appears in Europe and, in the opinion of our military specialists, will threaten us, then we will have to take appropriate steps in response. What kind of steps? We will have to have new targets in Europe,” Putin said, according to a transcript released by the Kremlin. These could be targeted with “ballistic or cruise missiles or maybe a completely new system” he said.

Wow, Putin is a freaken maniac! I have never, never liked Putin. Putin is just another communist dictator that wants to bring Russia back to the Soviet Union! Putin has got to go! If Russia is going to have any kind of a future ahead of them they need to do away with Vladimir. I have always said that Putin just took charge made plans to make it back into the Soviet Union and put frosting on the top to make it look good to the Western world. Putin has said over and over again that he is sick of Russia being a second world power and is sick of the US being the only real world power and said if he has to use Nuclear Weapons to go somewhere than he will!  People the signs are bright orange and they have been for a while!

We may not know it but I believe Russia is in utter turmoil. I believe Russia is making enemies to hide their own problems. I believe Putin has successfully reinstated the KGB and they are going around assassinating anyone that goes against them. Look at how many reporters have died in Russia and Europe in the last couple months. They all had one tie to each other, they publically spoke out against Putin!

To all you democrats, according to Putin he’s just like you:

“I am an absolute and pure democrat,” Putin said.

And on that note I’ll end this post.

 If we don’t do something we may enter another cold war and this time it may get hot, nuclear hot.

Russia needs to be saved, Putins Got To Go

Prime Minister Tony Blair declared today that Britain would be pulling their troops out of Iraq. Blair said he would take 1,600 troops out in next couple of months in aims to take their over 7000 troops below 5000 by this summer. Britain said that at this point they will still be supportive and help train Iraqi forces but they feel its time that they put it more in US hands. The Bush Admin. says this is a very important step in getting out of Iraq. 

When I first heard this this morning I was kinda pissed and felt like Britian was just bowing out under pressure but now that I have looked into it more I now see that this could be a very good thing as far as getting out of Iraq goes. Like I’ve said before I do not support an immediate cut and run as the Democrats suggest but a slow and strategic removal. Even with the input of 21,000 more US troops this can still be done. I do believe also though that we will probably need more than just 21,000 to totally secure Iraq. My serious prediction is that we are out of Iraq by next spring. If that is the case then it could be very possible that the war might not even be an issue in the 2008 election.

Was Britian pulling out good? Tell me what you think.

Just to let everyone know also I’ve added the link “Politicians on the Issues” its a link to ontheissues.org. I figured we would be talking alot about candidates so I thought we could get our facts right on the candidates and what they voted for etc.

What should we do? Seriously. We start a war with them and then we have three wars going at once we’ll be spread very thin, we risk getting nuked and risk putting our friends the Israelis in even more harm. War is imminent with Iran no matter who the President is, Democrat or Republican (or maybe even Nadar).

The US Army has recently tested several roadside bombs and different weapons that the terrorists in Iraq are using and they have Iranian finger prints all over them. Now I ask you, If this is not an act of war what is? The question is what do we do?

Do we sit back and relax like we’ve done for the past 10 yrs. and let Iran to continue to walk all over us?  Do we do another land invasion?  

The head of intelligence for the New York Times said that officials in the Gulf War region believe that we could be in a major war with Iran by this summer. Now they also say they think that something’s going to happen to propel us into war with them and thats why I say no matter who the President is we cannot avoid this war, and people, diplomatic conversations do not fly to well with Iran.

This is what I say. We keep talking about our tecnology in warfare, Unmanned planes, heat seeking missles, stealth bombers well lets use ‘em. Seriously would you want to get into land war with Iran? Bush keeps talking about our unmanned planes. Get them into production strap some bombs on there and kick some Ahmadinejad butt. If people think that casulties are high in this war, just wait until we get to war with Iran and thats why I say what would be a better opportunity to use unmanned aircraft?

This is what we need to do and quick:

1. try to get the Iraqi army and gov’t equipped and properly trained

2. use Iraq as a base to go into Iran

Why Ahmadinejad needs to go:

1. He makes Hitler look like a panzy

2. He HATES America and Israel with a bloody passion 

3. He is mentally insane

4. He has a case of short man syndrome (seriously have you seen how short he is?)

5. He claims the Holocaust never happened, I suppose neither did WW2?

Quotes by Ahmadinejad:

speaking of Israel

“We ask the West to remove what they created sixty years ago and if they do not listen to our recommendations, then the Palestinian nation and other nations will eventually do this for them.”

Anybody who recognizes Israel will burn in the fire of the Islamic nation’s fury.”

“Remove Israel before it is too late and save yourself from the fury of regional nations.”

“Israel is a rotten, dried tree that will be annihilated in one storm.”

“[There is] no significant need for the United States.”

“Iran is ready to transfer nuclear know-how to the
Islamic countries due to their need.”

“Israel is destined for destruction and will soon disappear”
Israel is “a contradiction to nature, we foresee its rapid disappearance and destruction.”

“They (Israel) kill women and children, young and old. And, behind closed doors, they make plans for the advancement of their evil goals.”

 “A new Middle East will prevail without the existence of Israel.”

“Are they human beings?… They (Zionists) are a group of blood-thirsty savages putting all other criminals to shame.”

War is imminent, do we sit back and relax?

The UN’s Valentine sweetheart:

No,no I definitely am not but what I can say is, well, I told you so. Rmember the post I made The American Threat? Remember the statement I made? To refresh your memory I will paste it here:

We have a department of everything. In George Washington’s first cabinet there was the Department of State, Department of Treasury, and the Depatment of War. They didn’t have Departments of education and agriculture, etc. because we don’t need it.

Latter on in that same paragraph I said:

Now the gov’t also has their hands on the schooling of our children. Soon there will be the Department of Raising Your Child (probably proposed by your favorite Hillary Clinton). Think I’m jumping to conclusions? Was it not Hillary that said “It takes a city to raise a child”. No Hillary, It takes PARENTS to raise a child!

Remember that? Well it is starting to happen. In California an assembly woman has propossed a law that will make it a crime to spank a child three and under. Parents could face up to a YEAR in jail if they spank THEIR child. What!? Since when can the gov’t step in and say you can’t spank YOUR child? Beating is one thing, but spanking? Disciplining a child is not only good for them but necessary! How will they know what is wrong and what is right. At three they don’t understand lectures! All they understand is consequence. If I do this I will get spanked. Thats what they understand. A child is a very fragile thing and if we let them do whatever they want when their young they will not know how to function in the real world when their older.

My parents spanked me and I am very glad they did. It told me what was wrong and what was right, who my authority was and that I couldn’t just go and do whatever I want. Spanking is necessary!

I hope Democrats and Republicans alike can come to that conclusion and that the propossed law (that will take away the authority of parents and give it to the state) will be tossed out the window.

America is heading to socialism, and I’m afraid there is no way to bring it back.

The Democrat anthem?

The following is a news story from AP:

FBI probes fatal Ariz. border shooting

Mon Jan 15, 7:34 PM ET

PHOENIX - The

FBI said Monday it was investigating the shooting death of a Mexican immigrant by a U.S. Border Patrol agent that had been criticized by Mexican President Felipe Calderon.

Francisco Javier Dominguez-Rivera, 22, of Puebla, Mexico, was killed Friday in a confrontation with the unidentified agent north of the U.S.-Mexico border between Bisbee and Douglas.

On Sunday, Calderon expressed his “most energetic protest” against the shooting.

 

A group of seven people were crossing the desert and the agent took six of them into custody without incident, authorities said.

But the agent and Dominguez-Rivera began fighting, authorities said. The agent, who believed his life was in danger, shot and killed the man, the Border Patrol said previously. An autopsy was scheduled Wednesday.

The agent was put on paid administrative leave pending the investigation.

 

First thing: Who the heck cares what the Mexican president says?

Second thing: Why were these invaders illegally crossing our borders?

Third thing: If this FBI agent was out to get ‘em then he would have shot all seven not just one!

Why do we keep fighting this one. Throw up a wall and get over it. These people are illegal it is illegal what their doing and if they want to come into this country then get in here legally like so many other people.

 

And to those who think were multi- cultural, were not, were multi-racial. We have a culture JOIN IT!

As every one of you know I am a supporter of our President, our troops, and this war. But I disagree with the President’s latest mandate to install 21,500 more troops into Iraq. Those of you who personally know me and have talked to me about this subject know that I have been saying for a long time that if it ever came to civil war in Iraq then it would be best to leave. That is the time we have come to. Iraq is in the beginnings of a battle that the US cannot stop. These people will have a civil war and either it will go to complete anarchy or it will begin another dictatorship. Probably the latter. Our job is done there, we did what we set out to do which was free a country from a tyrant. Again I still am in total support of this war, I just believe that its now time to slowly pull out. We have bigger things to worry about now, North Korea, Iran, and China. If we could have secured Iraq like we did Afghanistan then I would have a totally different take on things but Iraq is going to civil war, a war that is going to happen whether or not US troops are there. Our boys that are home need a break, for I believe it will only get worse.

I have said that I am 99% behind this war and the 1% reason I’m not is exactly because I knew this is what would happen. Iraqis are a people that have always been ruled over, a people that would have absolutely no clue what to do in an democratic republic! Is there any Muslim country that is a democratic republic? No. For the very reason that the Koran supports dictatorship, the religion supports forced everything. I do believe that Islamic countries as a whole could not function with an “America” like gov’t. It can’t happen and it never will and I believe that it was a farce way of thinking that we could ever change that.

I was asked to make this post about almost a month ago so I feel obligated to make it. This is about Religion and our troops. In particular, Evangelical Christianity. Heres the article:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A watchdog group that promotes religious freedom in the U.S. military accused senior officers on Monday using their rank and influence to coerce soldiers and airmen into adopting evangelical Christianity.

Such proselytizing, according to the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, has created a core of “radical” Christians within the U.S. armed forces and Pentagon who punish those who do not accept evangelical beliefs by stalling their careers.

The group asked the Pentagon’s inspector general to investigate a video in which some Army and Air Force officers discuss their faith while in uniform.

According to the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, the video played for reporters was a promotional tool for Christian Embassy, a group that describes itself as a ministry helping national and international leaders blend faith and work.

The executive director of Christian Embassy, Bob Varney, did not respond to a request for comment.

Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said the Defense Department does not endorse any religion or religious organization or judge the validity of religious expressions.

He confirmed the Defense Department inspector general, the Pentagon’s internal watchdog agency, received the letter requesting the probe, but noted it was the inspector general’s policy not to say whether an investigation had been opened.

“At this point it would be inappropriate to speculate as to what actions might be taken,” Whitman said.

RELIGIOUS RECRUITING

The Military Religious Freedom Foundation said the officers on the video violated military rules by wearing their uniforms while discussing their religious beliefs, giving the appearance of official participation in a religious organization.

That appearance, according to the group, is particularly damaging in the military, where rank carries great influence.

“It associates the power of office with sectarian ideology,” said MeLinda Morton, a Lutheran reverend and former Air Force chaplain who said her military career was hurt because she did not adopt evangelical views.

The religious freedom group also raised issues with the content of the video, including a comment from Air Force Maj. Gen. Jack Catton that he would discuss his faith with people who came to his Joint Staff directorate within the Pentagon.

Weinstein compared what he said was radical proselytizing within the military with the Islamist militants U.S. troops are confronting in wars overseas.

“When we’re facing a global war on terror against what we call Islamic extremists, it certainly doesn’t help when we have apparently a viewpoint from the cognoscenti and glitterati, the leadership of the Pentagon, pushing a particular virulent worldview down the throats of people who are helpless to argue against it,” Weinstein said.

To me this is very interesting and shows just how much people are against Christianity. It’s fascinating they said these officers were “radical proselytizing” by discussing faith within the Pentagon. Are we not free to discuss are faith anymore? Do we have to be in a particular kind of clothing to talk about are faith and ask others about theirs? What is so disgusting about this article is they compared this “radical proselytizing” with the Islamic Extremists that we are fighting overseas. How can they possibly make this statement? It is very sick. Whats better, talking about your faith or blowing up buildings, blowing up yourself, blowing up cars, killing millions to spread your religion? Whats better? To spread a religion peacefully or by killing? It amazes me that Americans don’t see this. These terrorists are not from different religions they’re all from the same one: Islam.

Which religion promotes terrorism, Christianity or Islam?

Even if you are not a born again, which faith is more peaceful?

Is talking about your faith radical?

When we sit back and relax this is what happens:

This article was not written by me but it is a very good explanation of the pro-life position using the Bible. Enjoy!

The Bible and Abortion: The Biblical Basis for a Prolife Position
by Rich Deem

Introduction

The Bible declares that God values all human life and that He wants all people to come to repentance to inherit eternal life.¹ The Bible explains that the entire life of a human - from the beginning to its natural end - is sacred, since God determines the length of those days.² When does human life begin? This page will examine that question from a biblical perspective.

When does life begin?

Many Christians believe that the Bible is silent in regard to God’s view on life before birth. Although the Bible does not specifically define when life begins, it does give us enough information to formulate a solid biblical position.

The sayings of Jesus

Jesus demonstrated the love of God for children often during His ministry. In one passage, Jesus took a child to him and sat with him. He said, “See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you, that their angels in heaven continually behold the face of My Father who is in heaven” (Matthew 18:10). Jesus tells us not to despise or look down upon the least powerful and significant (by human standards) of humans. It is ironic that the most helpless humans are those inside the womb. Of all the risks that we must face in our lives, the most dangerous place we can be is in the womb, since fully one third of all human babies are aborted in this nation - over one million every year. Greater than 98% of all abortions are done for non-medical reasons.

Old Testament law

The Old Testament provides most of the information on God’s view of life before birth, since it gives us the law. The law specifically addresses the issue of taking the life of a fetus in the book of Exodus:

“And if men struggle with each other and strike a woman with child so that she has a miscarriage, yet there is no further injury, he shall surely be fined as the woman’s husband may demand of him; and he shall pay as the judges decide. But if there is any further injury, then you shall appoint as a penalty life for life.” (Exodus 21:22-23)

Therefore, the law tells us that a man who induces an abortion or miscarriage is to be punished, indicating that God values life before birth. A verse from Hosea³ says that abortion is a punishment for sin, indicating God views it as bad. Likewise, God expressed His disgust for the Ammonites, who “ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead”.⁴ When does this life begin?

Human life begins in the womb

The Bible tells us God is involved in our creation from the womb:

“Did not He who made me in the womb make him, And the same one fashion us in the womb? (Job 31:15)

Yet Thou art He who didst bring me forth from the womb; Thou didst make me trust when upon my mother’s breasts. Upon Thee I was cast from birth; Thou hast been my God from my mother’s womb. (Psalms 22:9-10)

For Thou didst form my inward parts; Thou didst weave me in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to Thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Thy works, And my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from Thee, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth. Thine eyes have seen my unformed substance; And in Thy book they were all written, The days that were ordained for me, When as yet there was not one of them. (Psalms 139:13-16)

Thus says the LORD who made you And formed you from the womb, who will help you, `Do not fear, O Jacob My servant; And you Jeshurun whom I have chosen. (Isaiah 44:2)

Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, and the one who formed you from the womb, “I, the LORD, am the maker of all things, Stretching out the heavens by Myself, And spreading out the earth all alone, (Isaiah 44:24)

Human vs. animal

God distinguishes between human life and animal life, since the killing of animals has been allowed by God from as early as just after the fall.⁵ It would be helpful to first define what makes human life different from that of the animals. The Bible says that God created three kinds of creatures:

1. Creatures which possess bodies (Hebrew - basar, Greek - swma) only
2. Creatures which possess bodies and souls (Hebrew - nephesh, Greek - psuchay)
3. Creatures which possess bodies, souls, and spirits (Hebrew - ruach, Greek - pneuma)

Most of God’s creatures possess bodies only. These creatures include the insects, worms, fish, etc. God defines the creatures possessing souls as being the birds, the whales, the predatory and domesticated land mammals, and human beings (Genesis 1:20-27). Creatures which possess a soul have the characteristics of having a mind, a will, and emotion. Most of us who have cats or dogs realize that these soulish creatures have all these character traits.

Therefore, the difference between human life and animal life is that, in addition to having a body and soul, we are endowed with a spirit, (1 Thessalonians 5:23), by which we can communicate with, love, and worship God. The Bible tells us that God forms this spirit within us,⁶ and we are endowed with a spirit before birth (Luke 1:15), which makes us fully human before we are born.

Prophets called from the womb

In addition, there are a number of great men of God (and Jesus) who were called to be God’s servants from the womb:

Samson:

Jesus (prophecy):

Jeremiah:

John the Baptist:

Paul:

In addition, the Bible tells us the wicked are estranged or enemies of God from the womb:

What is murder?

All of the above verses tell us God considers us to be human before we are born, but they don’t answer the question of when we actually become so. I propose there is a way to know what God considers the latest point in development at which we must consider a fetus to be a living human. Even before God gave Moses the law, when He gave Noah and his family all the animals for food (in addition to the plants), He told them, “Only you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood” (Genesis 9:4). At the same time, God gave the law and penalty for murder (described as the shedding of “man’s blood”).⁷ Therefore, God considers blood to be the basis for life and the shedding of human blood, which results in death, to be murder. Science tells us that the heart of the human fetus begins to form 18 days after conception.⁸ There is a measurable heart beat 21-24 days after conception.⁹ Since blood is flowing at this point, it is likely that blood formation begins well before day 21 (I could find no reference for the date at which blood formation begins). Therefore, this represents the latest date at which we must consider the fetus to be human (according to biblical standards), which is only 7-10 days after a women would expect to begin her menses. Most women have cycles that can vary by this amount, and therefore do not discover they are pregnant until after this point. For all practical purposes, from a biblical perspective, abortion at any point must be considered murder by Bible-believing Christians.

Final words

I did not write this article with the intent to condemn those who have aborted their babies or participated in decisions to do so. Praise be to God that He has provided a way for all of us to escape the condemnation we all rightfully deserve.

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:1)

I heard something very, very disturbing tonight that I feel everyone should be made known of and Democrats especially. These are quotes from Islamic Terrorists celebrating the Republican loss! Democrats wake up and smell the coffee!!

Muhammad Saadi, a senior leader of Islamic Jihad in the northern West Bank town of Jenin, said the Democrats’ talk of withdrawal from Iraq makes him feel “proud.”
“As Arabs and Muslims we feel proud of this talk,” he told WND. “Very proud from the great successes of the Iraqi resistance. This success that brought the big superpower of the world to discuss a possible withdrawal.”

National leaders in the Democratic Party, including Howard Dean’s Democratic National Committee, potential House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, possible presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and longtime party stalwart Ted Kennedy don’t want to talk with WorldNetDaily about an endorsement their party has received.

The endorsement came via a WND article by Jerusalem bureau chief Aaron Klein, who interviewed leaders of several prominent Mideast terrorist organizations, including Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades and Islamic Jihad. “Of course Americans should vote Democrat,” Jihad Jaara, a senior member of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades terror group, and infamous leader of the 2002 siege of Bethlehem’s Church of the Nativity, told WND.

“This is why American Muslims will support the Democrats, because there is an atmosphere in America that encourages those who want to withdraw from Iraq. It is time that the American people support those who want to take them out of this Iraqi mud,” said Jaara, speaking to WND from exile in Ireland, where he was sent as part of an internationally brokered deal that ended the church siege.

He said an American withdrawal from Iraq would “prove the resistance is the most important tool and that this tool works. The victory of the Iraqi revolution will mark an important step in the history of the region and in the attitude regarding the United States.”

Jihad Jaara said an American withdrawal would “mark the beginning of the collapse of this tyrant empire (America).”

“Therefore, a victory in Iraq would be a greater defeat for America than in Vietnam.”

Howard Dean and the democrats should feel very proud of this endorsement. People do you not get it, these are our enemies! They have no respect for life and THEY are claiming victory because the democrats are in power. Liberals are they smarter than you are? They know that a liberals foreign policy is talk it over and wait for UN backing, when a conservative’s foreign policy is you attack our country we’ll come after you and make sure you get the message that you don’t mess with the US. Democrats does this not disturb you? Please tell me it does.

Seriously, congrats on the win Dems, but please, please don’t screw us over!!!!

Just so you remember these are terrorist organizations giving this support to the democratic party. All this does is assure me I’m on the right side.
