U.S. Dept. of State....DUMB?
- Balfour Declaration of 1917
- Palestinian Mandate of 1922
- Peel Commission of 1936
- UN Partition Plan for Palestine of 1947
- Oslo Accords of 1993
- Camp David Offer of 2000
- Madrid Peace Conference of 1991
- Wye River Memorandum of 1995
- Oslo II of 1995
- Taba of 2001
- Road Map for Peace of 2003
- Geneva Accord of 2003
What folly; how can Israel deal with the Arab world when since 1917 the Arab world has not kept their side of agreements. This is a waste of time and just enables the agenda of the Arab world to make slow steady progress by continuing their modus operandi and slowly weakening Israel through the use of the "peace talks offence". At some point in time, the U.S. has to draw a line in the sand and say "Enough"! Both parties must live up to the agreements or they are not worth a damn or the shifting political sand and economic policies which have been very generous to parts of the Arab world...the give away of vast sums of American dollars to the partner that does not keep its agreement will be stopped.
When are we, the U.S. going to stop doing dumb things again and again which have never worked in the past and will not change until the political infrastructure in the Arab world changes. Withholding the money may force those political changes to take place...money talks...peace talks walk.

Pres. Obama due overdue credit?
According to Eugene Robinson, as noted in his Washington Post column "Views", President Obama deserves "some overdue credit". I say baloney to Mr. Robinson's "Views". We are worse off than on the day that the President was sworn into office.
Mr. Robinson says that the Expectations of the new president were absurdly high. I agree with the absurdly but who promoted and pushed those Expectations?.....the national media and then candidate Obama's own campaign staff. There was all sort of rhetorical flourish and promises for CHANGE and HOPE and transparency in his new administration. I have not seen much of that as reflected in Pres. Obama's approval ratings; in fact they seem to be nosediving even further.
Mr. Robinson goes on to further state that Pres. Obama should be given credit in at least four areas:
In regards to #2: the creation of "Government Motors" with the government owning 61% of the company; was this truly a move to save the company that did not deserve to be saved because of a poor business plan or was it a gift to the United Auto Workers Union for all that labor did to get the President elected.
In regards to #3: the circus that followed the oil spill and the deaths of eleven oil rig workers, if it was not such a sad and massive catastrophe, could be viewed at best as the government bureaucracy working at its best to get in the way of actions by BP, the State and private citizens to clean up the mess. To date the scientific authorities believe that at least 80% of the oil is still in the Gulf...so much for containment.
In regards to #4: It is of interest that the President stated his or I should say the U.S. Constitution's stance on the "mosque at ground zero" issue before a group of Muslims to supposedly gain the "high ground" on this issue but would not discuss his personal opinion, to the rank and file American community, regarding the appropriateness and wisdom of an element of the Muslim community which is pushing the building of this Muslim mosque and center.
These are the reasons that I disagree with Mr. Robinson. President Obama is not due any overdue credit at this time. Let time and history be the judge of his Presidency and decisions.

- The bail out of General Motors to the tune of $50 billion dollars
- The containment of the Gulf oil spill.
- The President's statement at the Ramadan dinner in regards to the mosque controversy.

War Diary...Ted R. Gorski USN, Radarman 2nd Class
"San Francisco, Saturday, Oct. 28, 1944....U.S.S. Haskell (APA117)
We left Pier 5 at 0830. Lost sight of the Golden Gate at 0843. We stayed on course of 240 degrees all day and night. We average a speed of 16 knots. I stood the 0800 to 1200 watch.
Sunday, Oct. 29, 1944...
I stood the 1200 to 1600 watch today. We didn't pick up a single target. There are plenty of seasick fellows aboard. I didn't have much of an appetite. I didn't eat dinner. I stood the 1600 to 2000 watch. Talk is that we are bound for New Guinea. I ate a light meal this evening. The sea is very rough.
Monday, Oct. 30, 1944...
Got up at 0530. I stood the 0800 to 1200 watch. Didn't eat any breakfast. A lot of the fellows are still seasick. I haven't been seasick as of yet although I didn't feel any too good. I ate 3 sandwiches and 3 apples for dinner. I feel pretty good. The sea is still rough. We are about 1/3 of the way to Honolulu. All evening I read a book entitled "Assignment in Brittany". An interesting story. I retired early.
Tuesday, Oct. 31, 1944...
I got up at 0330. I stood the 0400 to 0800 watch. A ship (cargo vessel) which was 30 hours behind us was torpedoed last night. It was on the same route as we were. After torpedoing the ship the submarine surfaced and shelled it. As a result the ship was sunk with half the crew missing. We are traveling ourselves as we have no escort. We had a fire in Number One hold at 1100. It was under control at 1130. I stood watch from 1800 to 2000. It is getting warmer every day."

Pres. Obama....don't lecture Israel
President Obama, whose domestic, economic and foreign policies are in shambles has no business lecturing Israel's Prime Minister Netenyahu at their last meeting in July. The President presumed to push Israel and Mr. Netenyahu into a position of "willing to take risks for peace." Since Israel's founding over 60 years ago, that nation has taken many "risks" in the hope that it would further in developing peace with the Palestinians and Gaza. All of these risks were to no avail, they were unilateral on the part of Israel and were rewarded by more rockets, bombs and attacks against Israel's military and innocent civilians.
Over the last 60 plus years, Israel has been rewarded, by the Arab world, with nothing in return except more violence and more killing and more vitriol. Rational people and governments eventually reach a point when they have an epiphany; you can't deal with the other side until they have a conversion, a change of heart. Until that time comes nothing will change for the better and our President is intelligent enough to know that fact.

The Gathering Storm
In the very early days of our country's existence it was often called the American Union of States. The unity of the United States of America was forged out in two major storms, the Revolutionary War against Great Britain and the War Between the States (the Civil War) a domestic war among ourselves. The first war was fought to free ourselves from the tyranny of King George the III and the English parliament which abused us and the second for a variety of economic, moral (slavery), cultural and racial issues. These two storms eventually passed after the loss of many lives and after the soil of America was sanctified by the blood of many Americans...it, the United States now is a sacred place because of the lives which were lost to forge and hammer it into the United States, the Union.
Today another storm is gathering in this country; a storm of direction, a storm which will determine weather we continue to follow the path and foundations and principles which our Founding Fathers laid out in the Constitution of the United States or one that is made up to fulfill the whims and fancies of the politically elite. Will our country continue to be a country of law or a country of men who can warp and corrupt it in the so-called name of "progress"; who can change that which we call good and virtuous into bad and evil. If those who promote and proselytize win the battle for moral relativism in this country I believe we will loose the Republic which our Founders gave to us and will dishonor all those who gave their last in the aforementioned storms.

A NEW QUARTET...has been formed?
In the very recent past you could always count on the so called political entity of the European Union, the United Nations and Russia as being the "Triumvirate" that was uniformly anti-Israel. Now to the surprise of most American citizens the United States in the form of it's President, Barack Obama has joined that group to form a new "Quartet" that is anti-Israel. President Barack Obama has gone out of his way to make his feelings known to the people of Israel. Shortly after moving into the Oval Office, President Obama returned a bust of Winston Churchill to the British Embassy in the District of Colombia. You have to understand historically Winston Churchill considered himself as one of the "authors" of Britain's embrace of Zionism via the Balfour Declaration of 1917. This Declaration basically stated that the British Goverment favored the establishment of a national home for the Jewish people in Palestine. Now you can understand why Churchill had to be removed from Pres. Obama's office; a difference of idealogies?
Moving forward in time to 2009 in Cairo, in a speech, President Obama then stated that, in part, Israel existed because of the Jewish suffering in the Holocoust and that Palestinian people including Muslims and Christians have suffered in trying to establish a homeland also. The equivalency of these two diverging statements I believe does not exist at the same level. This White House thinks differently about the State of Israel; considerably different than all previous administrations.
Israel with its deep history of nationhood extending back to the time of King David, 3000 years ago and even before that another 1000 to 1500 years is beyond unintelligible to the current Obama Adminstration. American liberals and progressives will never be able to understand or put themselves in the shoes of the people and the State of Israel. I believe this is a point in time, a tipping point, in our relationship with Israel.

Obama..the Legislator in Chief
According to Provision 8, Article 1, Section 1, Paragraph 1 of the U.S. Constitution; "All legislative or lawmaking powers granted by this Constitution shall be vested exclusively in the Congress of the United States."
According to this provision of the U.S. Constitution every American has the right NOT to be subject to any federal law unless reviewed, scrutinized and approved by a majority of the peoples representatives. This process however has be eroded since the late 19th and early 20th Century and to the present day.
This process of legislative action has been circumvented by the use of the use of the Presidential Executive Orders and a newer tactic by the appointment of Czars to manage and control various sensitive areas in government and the private sector; these Czars seem to be answerable to only the President and by the use of them and executive orders the Executive circumvents the intent of the U.S. Constitution and the Founding Fathers. It seems that in Washington D.C. the government looks on the Constitution as a historical document that really does not matter any more. Situational legislation is practiced both by the Congress and the President and if a serious problem or crisis contrived or true is present it makes this end run around the Constitution even more easy.
The people of this country should be crying out loud "FOUL" and every time this tactic is used it should be challenged and taken to the Federal Courts and if needed to the Supreme Court. This type of legislation by idea logs must be stopped or this country and its Constitution will disintegrate.

Latest Personal Liberty Alert
Latest Personal Liberty Alert: "This Week In History
The Treaty Of Versailles
On June 28, 1919, the First World War officially came to an end when France and Germany signed the Treaty of Versailles with the Allies. The German delegation, which had been forced to sign the punitive agreement, signaled their attitude by breaking the ceremonial pen.
The treaty required Germany to pay such onerous reparations to the victors that the country was impoverished for the next two decades. The terms were regarded with such bitterness in Germany that many historians believe they were directly responsible for the rise of Nazism and World War II.
One little footnote that has been almost forgotten: President Woodrow Wilson, the most powerful person at that conference, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1920 for his efforts there. As Henry Kissinger could testify, it would not be the last time the 'peace' prize had very little to do with achieving a just and lasting peace.

John Locke...someone the Fathers learned from
In 1690 John Locke published two famous essays on The Original Extent and End of Civil Government. In his second essay he wrote:
"In all lawful governments, the designation of the persons who are to bear rule being an natural and necessary a part as the form of the government itself, and that which had its establishment ORIGINALLY FROM THE PEOPLE...all commonwealths, therefore, with the form of government established, have rules also of appointing and conveying the right to those who are to have any share in the public authority; and whoever into the exercise of any part of the power by other ways than what the laws of the community have prescribed hath no right to be obeyed, though the form of the commonwealth be still preserved, since he is not the person THE PEOPLE HAVE CONSENTED TO. Nor can such an usurper, or any deriving from him, ever have a title till the PEOPLE ARE BOTH AT LIBERTY TO CONSENT, AND HAVE ACTUALLY CONSENTED, to allow and confirm in him the power he hath till then usurped." (Locke, Second Essay Concerning Civil Government, pp. 70-71, par. 198; emphasis added.)

Repeal the Seventeenth Amendment
The Founding Fathers had intended that two Senators from each state would be appointed by the state legislature rather than elected by the people of that state. This was hoped to avoid the chance of a person who because of his "popularism" and "charisma" being voted in as the Senator of that state; it was hoped to avoid a person with "flash" and no substance from becoming a Senator.
It was thought and hoped by the Founding Fathers that the Senators appointed by state legislatures would be representing the states as sovereign entities. Senators would then not have to be compelled to involve themselves in the popular sometimes frivolous issues of the electorate and could concentrate on protection of states' rights, maintaining the established order, balancing the budget, and keeping taxes low as possible. It was also hoped they could keep the tempestuousness of the House at a more moderate level. They were to be the deliberate more long term "thinkers" of the Congress, our elder more wise statesmen. I think that the Founding Fathers had the right idea especially after viewing what a circus like atmosphere we have now in both the House and Senate.

Seventeenth Amendment.....Repeal It!
For those of you who may not be up on the Amendments to the
US Constitution I will state the two provisions of the Seventeenth Amendment.
PROVISION 266
The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each state, elected to a six-year term by the people thereof; and each Senator shall have one vote.
PROVISION 267
When a Senate seat becomes vacant for any reason, the governor of that state shall issue writs of election to fill such vacancy; however, the legislature of any state may empower the governor to make a temporary appointment until the people fill the vacancy by an election as the legislature shall direct.
We shall discuss the implications of this amendment in my next blog as to how it diminishes the states rights and balance with the federal government.

Pay To Pray!
Philadelphia Pa., 1787, June 28, Constitutional Convention, 81 year old Benjamin Franklin made this plea to the Convention:
In the beginning of the contest with Britain, when we were sensible of
danger, we had daily prayers in this room for divine protection. Our prayers,
sir, were heard; and they were graciously answered. All of us who were engaged
in the struggle must have observed frequent instances of a superintending
Providence in our favor. To that kind of Providence we owe this happy
opportunity of consulting in peace on the means of establishing our future
national felicity. And have we now forgotten that powerful Friend? Or do we
imagine that we no longer need (His) assistance?God's Providence was certainly in evidence at the beginning of this nation and it is certainly needed at this time of peril.
" I, therefore, beg leave to move:
"That hereafter prayers, imploring the assistance of Heaven and its blessing on our deliberations, held in this assembly every morning before we proceed to business, and that one or more of the clergy of this city be requested to officiate in that service."
Revisionist historians have painted the Founding Fathers as best Deists and at worse self-serving selfish beings concerned with their own welfare. Do the above statements sound like the Founding Fathers were Godless, non God fearing men...by no means. Read your original sources...not commentary by revisionist historians who are working towards their own agenda. They wound up not having daily prayers in the AM at the beginning of business not because they did not want to but because the colonies had not considered it in the budget....clergymen in Philadelphia were paid for their services daily. Things turned out pretty well...I guess God did not consider paid for prayers necessary but only the goodness in the hearts and souls of the founders.

United Nations must go!
I believe that the value of the United Nations in New York City has outlived its usefulness and needs to move to a different country and needs to find another country other than the US to pay its fair share to continue the blatant misuse of its funds. I believe the American taxpayer is fed up and tired of subsidizing this club of do nothing, anti-free world hypocrites who lead the life of a celebrity in New York City. Kick them out and tell them not to let the door nob hit them in the butt. Oh, and by the way pay up your traffic tickets. I find the UN as it exists now totally useless and counterproductive to the maintenance and freedom of the people of the world.
Pres. Obama said we are not a Judeo-Christian Nation? - an open letter
Dear Pres. Obama:
Perhaps it was not on your required reading list at law school but I invite you to stroll over to the Library of Congress, if you were able to get a library card in light of the sparsity of your identification documents, and pick up a copy of The Christian Life and Character of the Civil Institutions of the United States, by Benjamin F. Morris, and published by American Vision Press, Powder Springs, Georgia. This 1060 page tome, which took over 12 years to research and write, gives original sources of proof that establishes the Christian Life and Character of the Civil Institutions of the United States dating back to the first settlements in the 1600s. Indirectly since much of the reasoning used in establishing these early civil institutions and codes and behavior were taken from the Christian bible which I am sure you must know includes the Old Testament, Judaic elements were also included in the earliest civil life and settlements of this country.
It is true that we are a nation of many religions but our Founders and the leaders who formulated civil life and institutions in the 1600s used Judeo-Christian values in doing so. Do yourself a favor and read it; I believe it will broaden your vision of the United States and give you and more realistic perspective of who we are.
Respectfully yours,
Richard W. Gorski, M.D.
