22 May 2012. No Lie… Arizona Secretary of State Threatens to Kick President Obama Off the Ballot in His State

Why can’t the contemporary GOP act like its honourable forebears? At one time, the GOP FOUGHT corporate vultures… it broke up mega-corporations… today, it’s their scabby and shameless whore… O Fortuna, velut luna, statu variabilis (O, Fortune, as fickle as the moon…)…

******

How ’bout a little “mood music”…

Read this. Now, note this quote:

“Sometimes, when you want to believe something badly enough, no amount of evidence to the contrary will change your mind”, says Brian Montopoli at CBS News. Bennett isn’t alone either. He was moved to act by Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who is going full-birther, and three GOP congressmen have recently said they’re not sure if Obama’s American. Catherine Poe at The Washington Times  said, “The birther movement would be funny if it weren’t so dangerous. It’s rampant paranoia. It’s unsettling that some Americans will always believe that Obama isn’t one of us and he tricked us to become president”.

******

The birthers are such lunatics that even the reliably-Far Right Washington Times is distancing itself from them. Willard Romney has the obligation and DUTY to condemn this nonsense explicitly and without equivocation or waffling… or mount a legal challenge against the President immediately, asking that the SCOTUS hear this case on an emergency basis, for if the President were, in fact, legally-ineligible to hold the office of POTUS, that would be his DUTY. I’ll be blunt… all of the birther conspiracy theories are pure bullshit… they don’t contain a scintilla or iota of truth, but Wafflin’ Willy refuses to condemn birtherism… too many of the bubbas in his base actually believe it (as they also believe that the President’s a Muslim and that there was a shooter behind the grassy knoll).

If you needed proof that the contemporary Republican Party has gone around the bend, and that’s its terminally-gaga, this is it, kids. Wherefore art thou, Teddy Roosevelt, Ike Eisenhower, Jake Javits, and Gerald Ford? Oh… I forgot… King Rush and Queen Ann label them RINOs… izzat so? Here’s what the Republican Party used to stand for, as Teddy said:

The great corporations, which we’ve grown to speak of rather loosely as trusts, are the creatures of the State, and the State not only has the right to control them, but its duty bound to control them wherever the need of such control is shown.

I seem to notice a DIFFERENCE between Wafflin’ Willy and Steady Teddy… one of these things is NOT like the other, and the difference isn’t flattering to Willy, is it? You KNOW what to do in November…

21 April 2012. Watch “60 Minutes” on Sunday… Covering Palestinian Christians

Palestinian Christians in Catholic church in Zababdeh PALESTINE

______________________________

I received the following from a friend:

Xристос воскресе!

For those interested in history, Orthodoxy, Christianity, the Holy Land, Arab issues (and much more) this should be a good telecast. Disclaimer: I haven’t seen it yet, but if Maria Khoury’s remotely involved it won’t be boring.

Bоистинну воскресе!

For those without US TV, or with scheduling conflicts, you can watch the episode at:

He is not here; for He is Risen, as He said, Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

Gospel according to St Matthew 28.6

Dear Friends of St George, in Taybeh PALESTINE:

Christ is Risen! Truly, He is Risen!

60 Minutes came last May to film where the Lord lay. My nephew Canaan Khoury (Harvard  2013), was interviewed for this program and many prominent Palestinians. I’ve helped extensively with the background information and wanted to share the following message from the producers.

****** 

At last, the time has come… the story about the shrinking population of the Palestinian Christians in the Holy Land will be broadcast on 60 Minutes this Sunday, 22 April 2012 at 19.00 EDT (16.00 PDT 00.00 23 April UTC 03.00 MSK) . For those of you who don’t have access to CBS News in your area, you can watch the story on our website at:

 http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/60minutes/main3415.shtml

The story will be available on Sunday evening after it airs on TV. There’ll also be an added feature on our online program called 60 Minutes Overtime at:

http://www.cbsnews.com/60minutesovertime?tag=hdr;cnav

You’ll be able to view a story on Taybeh, also on Sunday evening. Please forward this e-mail to those you feel should be informed of this. We also wanted to thank each and every person who helped us in telling this very complicated story.  Though you may not have made it into the piece, you all played a significant role in the story.

Regards,
