And here some voices from Democrats that I support. I hope they are sincere in their mission to stop the senseless killing and dying in an illegal occupation and a civil war which was actually caused by the ignorance of the US leadership. After thoughtfully committing High Treason in outing the CIA agents who could have provided the intelligence that so obviously lacking in the entire leadership of our country, including House and Senate. While drowning in fear they also threaten to abolish the last civil right that was left. Free Speech. Let's see how our US will try to avoid comparisons with Nazi Germany. Good Luck and Good Night. Here the Democrat's voices that are seemingly in the minority:
Stop $70B More for Iraq: Shut Down Congress' Phones
Submitted by Bob Fertik on December 10, 2007 - 3:49pm. OutOfIraq
Once again our Democratic "leaders" are betraying our troops by keeping them in Iraq forever to be murdered or maimed for no reason except the insatiable greed of Bush-Cheney's oil cronies.
On Tuesday, House Democrats plan to approve $30 billion more for Afghanistan. Then Senate Democrats plan to approve $70 billion to cover Iraq as well. Then House Democrats plan to approve the full $70 billion.
Why are our Democratic "leaders" betraying us? Because they want Bush to sign - not veto - the $522 billion omnibus spending bill to fund the government this year. We have no Democratic "leaders" - we have utterly incompetent negotiators who lose 100% of their battles, no matter how much public support they have.
Our Democrats in Congress clearly do not care about the voters who elect them, whether Democrats or Independents, virtually all of whom want them to end the disastrous occupation of Iraq now. Our Democrats in Congress do not care about the troops fighting in Iraq and their families, who oppose the occupation even more than the rest of us, by 69% to 64%. The only support for the occupation of Iraq comes from hard-core Bush Republican voters who never vote for Democrats.
Who do Democrats in Congress actually care about? The donors who fund them - period. So call your Representatives and Senators with a simple message: Not one more penny for Iraq - or not one more penny for your campaign. If you have ever contributed to your Representatives or Senators or to any Democratic committee, be sure to tell them how much you will not give them.
Let's all call Monday and Tuesday (between 9-5 ET) and shut down the Congressional phone system . Call your Representatives directly:
http://clerk.house.gov/member_info/mcapdir.htmlOr call the Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121 Or call toll-free: 800-828-0498 - 800-614 2803 - 866-340 9281
And join the Democratic Donor Strike against the DCCC and DSCC http://democrats.com/donor-strike-2007
More from our friends at United For Peace and Justice:
Gather some friends together and pay a visit to one or more of your legislators. Stop by during lunch if that is convenient. Emphatically demand an end to the occupation. Your peaceful visit can be brief, or last long enough for your to read the names of every civilian and soldier killed in Iraq, or it can last until the member of Congress agrees to oppose all funding that is not tied to the immediate withdrawal of all U.S. troops and contractors.
If you are able to organize a visit, post notice of the visit here: http://www.unitedforpeace.org/calendar.php?sortby=&caltype=59
Otherwise click to see if someone in your area has already organized a visit - enter your zip code and increase the search miles to find a protest near you.
I could not agree more and strongly support the effort! Is there really just one party? The Money Party?

What could we have done with the Money of illegal war and occupation of Iraq?!
GOD bless you all. Another new email got my attention. It shows what we could have done - or still do - with the money the Bush administration has spent so far on the illegal war and occupation of Iraq. With the funding they are currently trying to get from congress, the total cost would rise to $611.5 billion, according to the National Priorities Project, a nonprofit research group. And here is what we could have had:
Almost 18 months' worth of free gas for everyone
US drivers consume approximately 384.7 million gallons of gasoline a day. Retail prices averaged $3.00 a gallon in early November. Breaking it down, $611 billion could buy gasoline for everybody in the United States, for about 530 days.
More than a year of Medicare benefits for everyone
In fiscal 2008, Medicare benefits will total $454 billion, according to a Heritage Foundation summary. The $611 billion in war costs is 17 times the amount vetoed by the president for a $35 billion health benefit program for poor children.
A real war on poverty
According to World Bank estimates, $54 billion a year would eliminate starvation and malnutrition globally by 2015, while $30 billion would provide a year of primary education for every child on earth. At the upper range of those estimates, the $611 billion cost of the war could have fed and educated the world's poor for seven years.
Many, many environment-friendly cars on the road
With $611 billion, you could convert all cars in America to run on ethanol nine times over. TheBudgetGraph.com estimates that converting the 136,568,083 registered cars in the United States to ethanol (conversion kits at $500) would cost $68.2 billion.

GOD and Al-lah are on the case...
Below you find an article dating from August 15th, which shows that GOD is on the subject too (see my commentary from August 3rd below this one)! A click on the headline leads you to the full length original article on the web site of Fox News where you will also find the right wing commentaries of the usual religious fascists which I omitted here for reasons of irrelevance and their insult to the most basic intelligence and the word of GOD alike. We believe in Compassion, Peace, Love and GOD's Commandments to the world. We are against violence, hypocrites, prejudice and lies. Many of our fellow Americans seemingly forgot all this to blindly serve their religious idols with their phony messages and speeches (see the Trinity Broadcasting Network) who only have one goal: to get to your money and to brainwash any compassion or sound thought out of your mind, so you become their blind follower. Whom you actually follow is clear when you look whom they support. An administration that lives on lies and deceit. And in the end it will surely cost you more that just money. It has already cost the lives of too many of our soldiers (By the way: We support our Troops! We are just against the illegal war started by a president who was not even elected) and of tens of thousands of civilians. GOD is trying to save you from these mistakes, that is why you are reading these lines right now. Keep reading and judge for yourself. I am very surprised that it is the Roman Catholic Church that recently makes my case, even though I am closer to Martin Luther's reforming spirit than to the pope. But unlike the Pseudo-Christian Churches and preachers in the US, the Pope agrees - like me - that Evolution is a fact that does not exclude GOD. GOD created the Heavens and the Earth. He could have done it a few thousand years ago (why should he anyway, when it was already there for Millions of years???), but he obviously did not do it 5,000 or 6,000 years ago (this is the story according to the Jewish calendar and the Old Testament which is basically the history of the Jews) but Millions of years ago. And he created everything else through Evolution - which definitely took longer than several thousand years and is not remotely finished. Some brains still seem to be in the beginning stages... And I don't think that neither the History of the Jews or the Jewish calendar overrules the way GOD actually did it. But back to the way GOD spreads the right thoughts at the right time. GOD Bless America!
Roman Catholic Bishop Wants Everyone to Call God 'Allah'
Wednesday, August 15, 2007
A proposal by a Roman Catholic bishop in the Netherlands that people of all faiths refer to God as "Allah" is not sitting well with the Catholic community. Bishop Martinus Muskens, an outgoing bishop who is retiring in a few weeks from the southern diocese of Breda, said God doesn't care what he is called.
"Allah is a very beautiful word for God. Shouldn't we all say that from now on we will name God Allah? ... What does God care what we call him? It is our problem," Muskens told Dutch television. Ibrahim Hooper, a spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a Washington, D.C.-based Islamic civil liberties and advocacy group, backs the idea as a way to help interfaith understanding. "It reinforces the fact that Muslims, Christians and Jews all worship the same God," Hooper told FOXNews.com. "I don't think the name is as important as the belief in God and following God's moral principles. I think that's true for all faiths." Christians who are Arabic speakers speak of Allah when they speak of God, Hooper added.
The Council of Islamic Organizations of Greater Chicago supports the idea. “I think it will open up doors,” said Janaan Hashim, a spokeswoman for the group representing more than 400,000 Muslim Americans in the Chicago area. “Language is a man-made limitation. I think what God cares about is how we fulfill our purpose in life.” The nation’s largest Catholic civil rights group says Catholics won't get behind the proposal.
Muskens spent eight years in Indonesia, where he said priests used the word "Allah" during Mass. Muskens also has drawn attention for other ideas such as encouraging the hungry to steal bread and offering condoms to combat HIV and AIDS.FOXNews.com's Melissa Drosjack and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
I don't think we should call GOD Al-lah. But I absolutely agree that this is an important thought in these times, where hate and ignorance rules over the word of GOD and outweighs the truth in this world. Islam was born from Judaism and Christianity and Al-lah is GOD. So the message of hate that is being sent from both sides - the extremists of Islam as well as the religious fascists here - has a purpose for them, not for GOD. The same Christians that are judging the Islamic Terrorists are trying to create little Christian suicide bombers in their Jesus camps. GOD does not want Terror! GOD wants Peace and Love. That is why he sent Jesus! To change the message of hate and war, an eye for an eye, into Love and "turn the other cheek". Please listen to the words of the false Prophets in your life and compare them to the facts and to GOD's word! By the way: I also agree with Muskens' encouraging the hungry to steal bread and offering condoms to combat HIV and AIDS!

You are being deceived!
If you look at what the politicians are doing and then look at what they are claiming, you will find a huge discrepancy.
Look at GOD's word: It is not about what you say you do, it is about what you actually do. Circumcised actually means abiding by God's rules.
[1Co 7:18-19] Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised. Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
And the commandments include: Do not steal, do not lie, do not kill. And if you look at the current Government, what do they do? Please look at them and form your own opinion. How can people who violate ALL of GOD's commandments be doing GOD's work? They can't. How can people who promote the breaking of GOD's commandments in promoting this Government be doing GOD's work? They can't either. Why don't you question those people? It is your future as well as it is mine. If someone claims that GOD told him to have more than 3,000 young Americans killed in an unnecessary war, why do you believe him?
[Rom 1:17-18] For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written. The just shall live by faith. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness.
It is almost unbelievable how easily the Government can deceive most of our country, invade another country, rake in all the money they can get their hands on and leave us - about 98 percent of the population here in our beloved USA - with nothing. The government which consists almost in its entirety of Oil managers walks away with everything else.
The bird flu scare was initiated be the US media by orders of the US Government to give fellow warrior Donald Rumsfeld, who owned enough stock in the manufacturing company of the vaccine to make about one Million Dollars in three months on the side, a little gift. On top of it and to add some more unnecessary scare, the fairytale network ABC produced a so called "docu-drama" to suck up to the Government in which about half of the US population dies in a Bird flu epidemic, which according to experts is a scenario that easily measures up to fairytale dimensions. But - no fairytale - it made Rumsfeld an even richer man. Another "docu-drama" fairytale by ABC about 9-11 was criticized by some honest experts who pulled out of the project because of the lack of truth that was included. The network lost the rest of credibility in the news sector on top of it.
To look into 9-11 it is recommended to watch the pilot episode of the "Lone Gunman", a spin-off of the "X-Files" which seems to contain more truth than any of the ABC-Government co-productions. Whenever ABC speaks about news, I since can't avoid a smile. Most other networks are not better either, just not that obvious. If you like trustworthy news, watch the BBC.
But back to our fearless leaders' revenues and their service to their - our - country. Where the rest of the US-Government makes the money is obvious at every Gas station in the US. Even though the price of Oil on the world market is lower than before, the Gas prices are sky high again - and rising. The Oil companies refuse to admit that they are pocketing as much money as possible as long as they can do it encouraged and protected by the happily participating government, which is protecting its own interests. They call themselves Christians, and claim GOD as their advisor. What do you think Jesus would have done with them?
Let us educate our children, so they can see through politicians' smoke screens and hope that they will see clearly enough so nothing like this can happen again. We don't vote for the Presidency, but we vote for "American Idol". We should reconsider our priorities.
Amen
