OBAMA COMPARES HOLOCAUST TO PALESTINIANS' CONDITION IN ISRAEL - I noticed it and so did Rabbi Dr. Morton H. Pomerantz.. Obama, in a clever use of words read from his teleprompter, compared the murder of over 6 million Jews in Europe by the National Socialists (Nazis), to the current "plight" of Palestinians. The rabbi says Obama has opened the door to persecution of Jews worldwide.Read more

TOBACCO - The Senate voted this week 79 to 17 to allow the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) to regulate tobacco products. Currently the FDA does not inspect even 1% of the meat we eat.

At almost the same time that Obama delivered this astounding statement, a Christian man was beaten to death for using a cup designated for Muslims. Ishtiaq Masih, ordered tea at a shop in Punjab, Pakistan, during a bus stop. When he paid for the tea the owner saw that he wore a cross, and he and 14 of his employees beat, stabbed and kicked the Christian man. He later died at a local hospital.
