Do We Have An Alternate?
Sep 21st, 2007 by Randy Toman
Up until 1939 the Middle East (Palestine) was primarily a British problem and American government had a neutral position toward the Jewish problem.
“… Roosevelt expressed frustration with Britain’s attempts to limit Jewish immigration into Palestine. Yet Roosevelt was also fearful of unleashing what he termed “a Holy Jihad” with the Arab world over Palestine and preferred that refugee Jews be settled else where—Paraguay or Ethiopia.”
Page 429 “Power, Faith, and Fantasy America in the Middle East 1776 to the Present” Michael B. Oren.
Further on down the page we have this from Mr. Oren.
“The United States consequently responded to the Palestine crisis by once again clinging to neutrality.”
I guess we really had nothing change within the Democratic Party, President Roosevelt back in 1939 wanted us neutral and I guess that is what the Democrats of today want. I can see that the only thing that kept the President Roosevelt and his party in 1939 from being exposed was a world war. The Democrats of today may have this same type of world affair cover their actions of withdrawal, if they are elected in 2008. The reasons for neutrality “maybe” entirely different from 68 years ago “BUT” I think I would not be to far from being right in saying the consequences for that action will be far more devastating today then in 1939.
There seems to be a trend within the Democratic party over the years that says not to be judgemental to anyone, lest we be judged! I don’t know if that is the only reason for this attitude or if they are afraid of losing votes. They are, however, very judgemental towards Republican conservatives and people of faith in particular. Failure to make judgement about the actions of others and about our choices we make on how to live our lives, can be a dangerous thing. As individuals, we all make judgements, some major and some minor in nature. Most of us pass judgement when we do something as insignificant as buying a product. Do we discriminate against the Ford company when we purchase a General motors product? Do we discriminate when we don’t allow our children to run with a certain crowd? Sure we do! Those concerns should be applied to the more important decisions that are made, such as the ones Randy mentions in his article. The prices paid by not using judgement when we make important decisions, can be world eventful and NOT in our best interests. Why is it that the Democrats don’t pass judgement as the Republicans do? Is it just the reasons I mentioned or is it something more entrenched in their party? I believe it is their Atheistic view of life and their belief of “self power” that causes the party to ignore reality. One of those realities, is our war with the terrorists. John Edwards says. “It is only bumper sticker worthy”! This is why I would NEVER vote for any of them! They put themselves and politics over the interests and safety of our nation. There is a difference between right and wrong and we as a society, of freedom loving people, better understand that as fact and start being more judgemental of what our government does and doesn’t do, and to think about who we are voting for and why. Today, too much depends on it. There are 10 simple rules to follow, the 10 Commandments. Are they judgemental? They certainly are! Our laws are based on those simple rules and the failure to follow them has led to where we are now. It’s time to get back to basics!
