It is with much zeal and heartache that I am compelled to enter into this debate for the sake of righteousness, compassion and justice.  It is not my desire to disrespect or attack anyone, but attempt to give a greater understanding of the need to Unite in these perilous times.  No, I am not just talking about the economy, war, Gitmo, etc., but the Greater Need to Unite in the Common Goal of Humanity for our Very Survival. 

For YahWeh “is long-suffering” towards the unrighteous, but for Their Children they “cut the work short”.  Will your actions and heart be able to withstand the judgement or separation for the Last Trumpet is about to Sound?!  What you do will affect your Eternal Future.  Go to the “Light”; whatever you have done being honest and contrite: forgiveness is yours.

And for those who are atheist, agnostics or those who have a different belief system: Just help make this world a better place!  Also, many people think the best way to make a new system is to completely demolish the old.  Nonsense!  The ripple effect of this massive Tidal Wave would destroy many and terribly effect us all.  “Ever seen a crack in a wall”?  With co-existing pressure, change in climate and concise planned “removal and replacement”  the Wall will eventually come a tumblin’ down.  Too many want overnight delivery.  This is an absurd mindset.  UPS!   “If you can do a better job, besides criticizing and hindering: then make your case, create affirmative action viable programs or run for office!”  For sure….

P.S. Why the stalling with Al Franken??  And….

Your signature and comments will be part of a public display of support for this historic nomination in these crucial early weeks. Judge Sotomayor’s unique qualifications include:

Experience: She would start with more federal judicial experience than any new Justice in a century.

Frequently there are reports of hikers/campers being attacked by predators, both four- and two-legged. To deny them the facility to defend themselves borders on criminality. The National Parks are areas of public accommodation; when the government denies individuals the means to defend themselves, it assumes the positive duty to protect those individuals from harm. When those individuals are, in fact, harmed, there has been a failure of that duty, the government is liable, and lawsuits will be the order of the day.
Most visitors to National Parks, simply put, believe it to be good policy.

Experts don’t wait for The President to present the full Package [He’s provided a good outline] they want to influence others [some do have good intents] before the Jury is even in!  They make hypothesis and half-truths to create a scenario that is diametrically opposed to what the President is saying.  This Fifth Group is not “terrorist suspects” but known Enemies of the USA and is a “Military Matter” [We are at War, remember] should be investigated and results given to the proper government departments AND then to us, Amein!  Most of this may not be “totally open” because lives like our agents, people or US may be involved.  But, cases will be reviewed and I am sure that the President will make good on “Transparency” when possible.

News Flash:  We the People can think for ourselves and see the truth when it is ‘presented’.  We also have the ability to speak out when a mistake is made; which is more than we can say for most of those in positions of reporting [who won’t expose it for us to speak out],  legal advisors and analyzers.  Ahem!, so you want the “admitted or known terrorist” in Group Five to go back to the battlefields?  I don’t support killing on either side of this war, but something has to be done to disarm this “ticking bomb” that has been activated by the previous Administration.

Tis’ a sad fact, but true for those who ‘run’ the USA and other Countries have given Nuclear Weapons to Pakistan, Israel, North Korea and who knows who else [besides US].  Hopefully the perpetrators will be prosecuted by the CORRECT Government Department and a peaceful settlement for all.  Support in this area for “peace-keeping” troops are a sad reality.  They deserve our love, fair wages and moral, honest leaders.

BTW, maybee’ those in leadership positions did not speak out during the Bush Administration, but the Public [which was ignored; sure did!]

Let us ask this of those that “buy fox or wolf tickets”, “Why do you not wait until “common sense” enters your heart before you “put your foot in **it”?  Don’t be prudish, **it is dung or a natural  waste product!   Which I must say many have a great need to wallow or sit in.

We commend those who voted for the closing of Gitmo, Nancy Pelosi, and those of like mind, also our Blessings to Christopher Dodd, Richard Shelby and members of Congress.  Also, a Special Thank You to Michigan Attorney General: Mike Cox.

I was told that, “the Democrats are known for shooting themselves in the foot” and yesterday they proved it.  Your fighting, impatience and fears [voting time coming up!] have allied yourselves against your own Commander in Chief  [The People] who has proven himself to be a man of wisdom, honesty, capability, dedication, common sense and intelligence; shows your inability to properly reason under pressure.

Yes, this may seem to be a harsh statement, but you yourselves prove my case and to prove another point:

• In Times of War prisoners who are taken captive or convicted can be held until the war is over or release is peacefully negotiated.  Ask “Honest John” McCain about Torture and Conduct in Times of War. 

President Obama clearly stated that,

The third category of detainees includes those who have been ordered released by the courts. Now, let me repeat what I said earlier: This has nothing to do with my decision to close Guantanamo. It has to do with the rule of law. The courts have spoken. They have found that there’s no legitimate reason to hold 21 of the people currently held at Guantanamo. Nineteen of these findings took place before I was sworn into office. I cannot ignore these rulings because as president, I too am bound by the law. The United States is a nation of laws and so we must abide by these rulings.

The fourth category of cases involves detainees who we have determined can be transferred safely to another country. So far, our review team has approved 50 detainees for transfer. And my administration is in ongoing discussions with a number of other countries about the transfer of detainees to their soil for detention and rehabilitation.

Now, finally, there remains the question of detainees at Guantanamo who cannot be prosecuted yet who pose a clear danger to the American people. And I have to be honest here — this is the toughest single issue that we will face. We’re going to exhaust every avenue that we have to prosecute those at Guantanamo who pose a danger to our country. But even when this process is complete, there may be a number of people who cannot be prosecuted for past crimes, in some cases because evidence may be tainted, but who nonetheless pose a threat to the security of the United States.

Examples of that threat include people who’ve received extensive explosives training at al-Qaida training camps, or commanded Taliban troops in battle, or expressed their allegiance to Osama bin Laden, or otherwise made it clear that they want to kill Americans. These are people who, in effect, remain at war with the United States.

Let me repeat: I am not going to release individuals who endanger the American people. Al-Qaida terrorists and their affiliates are at war with the United States, and those that we capture — like other prisoners of war — must be prevented from attacking us again. Having said that, we must recognize that these detention policies cannot be unbounded. They can’t be based simply on what I or the executive branch decide alone. That’s why my administration has begun to reshape the standards that apply to ensure that they are in line with the rule of law. We must have clear, defensible, and lawful standards for those who fall into this category. We must have fair procedures so that we don’t make mistakes. We must have a thorough process of periodic review, so that any prolonged detention is carefully evaluated and justified.

Do you not understand that to bring this Fifth Group to Court with sources revealed would comprise our Government?!  Yes, All should still be given a fair trial to release the innocent and reparations should be made to those found innocent.  This is a complex situation, indeed.

Neither I nor anyone can stand here today and say that there will not be another terrorist attack that takes American lives. But I can say with certainty that my administration — along with our extraordinary troops and the patriotic men and women who defend our national security — will do everything in our power to keep the American people safe.   And I do know with certainty that we can defeat al-Qaida. Because the terrorists can only succeed if they swell their ranks and alienate America from our allies, and they will never be able to do that if we stay true to who we are, if we forge tough and durable approaches to fighting terrorism that are anchored in our timeless ideals. This must be our common purpose.

Remember, this is The Bush and Cheney legacy.  Cheney is only stating the obvious about whether a ‘terrorist attack’ might occur.  And where were ‘they’ during 911?  They knew ahead of time!  You still want to listen to this man?  This war would not be if they had not ‘falsified evidence’ causing us to enter into a War that was not necessary; for they had no “weapons of mass destruction”.  But, now we must reverse this Countries Image to that for which The Original Native Chiefs, The Founding Fathers, The Constitution, Declaration of Independence and The Bill of Rights define our United National  and International Code of Conduct.

For Good People [from all races] of The Americas can be redeemed, We can take back what was stolen from us.  Amein?  AMEIN!

I ran for president because I believe that we cannot solve the challenges of our time unless we solve them together. We will not be safe if we see national security as a wedge that divides America — it can and must be a cause that unites us as one people and as one nation. We’ve done so before in times that were more perilous than ours. We will do so once again.

Thank you,

Fellow Citizens, I am not wanting in respect for the fathers of this republic. The signers of the Declaration of Independence were brave men. They were great men, too Ñ great enough to give frame to a great age. It does not often happen to a nation to raise, at one time, such a number of truly great men. The point from which I am compelled to view them is not, certainly, the most favorable; and yet I cannot contemplate their great deeds with less than admiration. They were statesmen, patriots and heroes, and for the good they did, and the principles they contended for, I will unite with you to honor their memory….

 

…Fellow-citizens, pardon me, allow me to ask, why am I called upon to speak here to-day? What have I, or those I represent, to do with your national independence? Are the great principles of political freedom and of natural justice, embodied in that Declaration of Independence, extended to us? and am I, therefore, called upon to bring our humble offering to the national altar, and to confess the benefits and express devout gratitude for the blessings resulting from your independence to us?

 

Would to God, both for your sakes and ours, that an affirmative answer could be truthfully returned to these questions! Then would my task be light, and my burden easy and delightful. For who is there so cold, that a nation’s sympathy could not warm him? Who so obdurate and dead to the claims of gratitude, that would not thankfully acknowledge such priceless benefits? Who so stolid and selfish, that would not give his voice to swell the hallelujahs of a nation’s jubilee, when the chains of servitude had been torn from his limbs? I am not that man. In a case like that, the dumb might eloquently speak, and the “lame man leap as an hart.”

Go where you may, search where you will, roam through all the monarchies and despotisms of the Old World, travel through South America, search out every abuse, and when you have found the last, lay your facts by the side of the everyday practices of this nation, and you will say with me, that, for revolting barbarity and shameless hypocrisy, America reigns without a rival….

…Allow me to say, in conclusion, notwithstanding the dark picture I have this day presented, of the state of the nation, I do not despair of this country. There are forces in operation which must inevitably work the downfall of slavery. “The arm of the Lord is not shortened,” and the doom of slavery is certain. I, therefore, leave off where I began, with hope. While drawing encouragement from “the Declaration of Independence,” the great principles it contains, and the genius of American Institutions, my spirit is also cheered by the obvious tendencies of the age. Nations do not now stand in the same relation to each other that they did ages ago.

No nation can now shut itself up from the surrounding world and trot round in the same old path of its fathers without interference. The time was when such could be done. Long established customs of hurtful character could formerly fence themselves in, and do their evil work with social impunity. Knowledge was then confined and enjoyed by the privileged few, and the multitude walked on in mental darkness. But a change has now come over the affairs of mankind. Walled cities and empires have become unfashionable. The arm of commerce has borne away the gates of the strong city. Intelligence is penetrating the darkest corners of the globe. It makes its pathway over and under the sea, as well as on the earth. Wind, steam, and lightning are its chartered agents. Oceans no longer divide, but link nations together. From Boston to London is now a holiday excursion. Space is comparatively annihilated. — Thoughts expressed on one side of the Atlantic are distinctly heard on the other.

The far off and almost fabulous Pacific rolls in grandeur at our feet. The Celestial Empire, the mystery of ages, is being solved. The fiat of the Almighty, “Let there be Light,” has not yet spent its force. No abuse, no outrage whether in taste, sport or avarice, can now hide itself from the all-pervading light. The iron shoe, and crippled foot of China must be seen in contrast with nature. Africa must rise and put on her yet unwoven garment. ‘Ethiopia, shall, stretch. out her hand unto God.” In the fervent aspirations of William Lloyd Garrison, I say, and let every heart join in saying it:–Frederick Douglass

God speed the year of jubilee
The wide world o’er!
When from their galling chains set free,
Th’ oppress’d shall vilely bend the knee,
And wear the yoke of tyranny
Like brutes no more.
That year will come, and freedom’s reign,
To man his plundered rights again
Restore.

 

God speed the day when human blood
Shall cease to flow!
In every clime be understood,
The claims of human brotherhood,
And each return for evil, good,
Not blow for blow;
That day will come all feuds to end,
And change into a faithful friend
Each foe.

 

God speed the hour, the glorious hour,
When none on earth
Shall exercise a lordly power,
Nor in a tyrant’s presence cower;
But to all manhood’s stature tower,
By equal birth!
That hour will come, to each, to all,
And from his Prison-house, to thrall
Go forth.

 

Until that year, day, hour, arrive,
With head, and heart, and hand I’ll strive,
To break the rod, and rend the gyve,
The spoiler of his prey deprive –
So witness Heaven!
And never from my chosen post,
Whate’er the peril or the cost,
Be driven.

Rev 9:20 (ALT) And the rest of people, the ones not killed by these plagues, did not repent from the works of their hands, so that they should not prostrate themselves in worship before the demons and idols, the ones of gold and the ones of silver and the ones of  copper {brass} and the ones of stone and the ones of wood, which are neither able to be seeing nor to be hearing nor to be walking about. [Psalm 115:4-7; 135:15-17]

Note: Idols of gold, silver, copper [brass], stone and wood in the spiritual world represents thrones, dominions, principalites and powers that exist in heaven and on earth as Positions of Leadership on different levels of importance: Mankind or Humanity.
