Presenting The Democratic National Convention's "Ron Paul Moment"
Moments ago we learned that the Democrats have once again reinstated language into their party platform that recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel as well as the words "God-given" that were removed in this year's platform. However, the 'vote' on this controversial decision (shown in the clip below), brings back vivid memories of the GOP convention's own Ron Paul moment; and must be seen to be believed as the true state of our nation's "democratic process" is once again exposed for all to see. Simply remarkable...
And this happened earlier:
After sharp criticism from Mitt Romney and Republicans, the Democrats have reinstated the language into their party platform that recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel as well as the words "God-given" that were removed in this year's platform.
The platform released by Democrats Monday evening dropped a clause included in the 2008 platform that read: "Jerusalem is and will remain the capital of Israel." That platform went on to say, however, that "[t]he parties have agreed that Jerusalem is a matter for final status negotiations. It should remain an undivided city accessible to people of all faiths."
The party reinstated the 2008 language into this year's platform to "reflect the President's personal view," CBS News has learned.
Israel maintains that its capital is Jerusalem, but the United States and other nations maintain embassies in Tel Aviv because East Jerusalem is contested by the Palestinians, who see it as a potential capital for their state.
Romney called Jerusalem "the capital of Israel" in July, prompting criticism from the Palestinians as well as China. Senior Palestinian official Saeb Erekat called the comment "absolutely unacceptable."
But as a presidential candidate, Mr. Obama said in 2008 that "Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel and it must remain undivided," though he later softened his stance and said he is not trying to "predetermine" the final status of the city. As president, he has maintained that, as his campaign put it to CBS News, "the capital is something that should be determined in final status negotiations between the parties."
Romney said in a statement Tuesday that it's "unfortunate that the entire Democratic Party has embraced President Obama's shameful refusal to acknowledge that Jerusalem is Israel's capital."
"Four years of President Obama's repeated attempts to create distance between the United States and our cherished ally have led the Democratic Party to remove from their platform an unequivocal acknowledgment of a simple reality," he said. "As president, I will restore our relationship with Israel and stand shoulder to shoulder with our close ally."
Meantime, the word "God" was dropped from a paragraph that, in 2008, spoke of giving those willing to work the opportunity to "make the most of their God-given potential." In this year's platform a similar paragraph reads "the simple principle that in America, hard work should pay off, responsibility should be rewarded, and each one of us should be able to go as far as our talent and drive take us."

Which you determine as an observer...
close observation says "the group" is definitely a flag-waver's refuge - I wouldn't exclusively call it "American" but the label fits.
even here, or especially here? - lines are drawn based solely on being born on a red/white/blue plantation that has the bestest gawd, so the chosen say - and the other plantation's gawds aren't righteous like "ours" - centuries of this. . .
Centuries? 3 millenia, or more. Yea, America definitely doesn't have a monopoly on stupidity. But my point was that the people running the AnAntanamous account are making a judgement on an external culture from the hive mind of their culture. They don't realize that their judgement is relative, not absolute. Thats Fundamentalism.
this argument has long roots, but for the record, I'm of the opinion that the AnAnonymous defines "American" as a state OF MIND, less as a state of BOUNDARIES (which of course are equally tenuous, and also held in the mind).
those who willingly identify as "american" will also adopt the recognisable characteristics of an "american" and defend the identity. most of the "culture" that AnAnony points to is recognisable to me, so I don't really have a problem with the finger-pointing.
that people insist on being offended by their own adopted labels, and fling insults back based on the perceived culture of the poster merely reflects how deeply held the "national identities" are.
which is sad, given the copious amounts of information available nowadays that undermine ANY notion of "national" integrity, or sovereignty.
my point has always been, one only finds the AnAnony posts offensive if one feels their identity is under attack. and I don't.
You are occluded. Read backward from now everything he posted until you get to the China references. Better stop assimilating msm propaganda as truth, its making you as ignorant and opinionated as ananonymous.
Dude, why the fuck didnt you people pick hawaiii, any god that makes you live in the desert is a false prophet.
Hawaii has matriarchal traditions, no?
THAT would be going against Daddy Military and Father Pharma - heresy!
Give everyone a nuke and quit arguing about it.
No amount of lipstick can mask this PIG :)
This is beyond insane,
16 trillion in debt, near 50 million on food stamps, going down the proverbial shitter and all the DNC cares about is isreal?
You Americans need to sort yourselves out. This is so fucking insane I can hardly believe I have just seen that clip with my own eyes. You are owned big style by the AIPAC.
Take your country back before its too late my American friends.
Astonishing, trully fucking insane
Huh? I thought everybody knows that Queens is the capital of Israel.
Its Gog and Magog. Anyhow its in the Bible. Don't worry in the war that follows they lose. Wait a minute I think everyone loses. I don't know. You have to ask a Jehovah's Witness. They know all about that crap. I think that something comes down after the war and restores law and order for 1000 years or so and then the great poof. I gave up on them when they told me when you get to heaven you don't have sex anymore.
I tried to tell them they need to come up with a better angle. I think their founder was an illuminati. One of the Russels that came over on the ship that they performed the Enochian magic on.
Well it makes more sense than Fed policy. Gotta give them that.
Magog was the son of Japheth.
This is the account of Shem, Ham and Japheth, Noah’s sons, who themselves had sons after the flood. The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech and Tiras.
I haven't found a source pre-Revelation for Gog
The word "jew" did not even appear in print till 1775 AD. So much for these god-forsaken demonic scum of the earth jews being god's chosenites from the Old Testament.
A relative, a so-called Christian, actually said, right in front of me, that these spiritual children of Satan are god's chosenites because they can trace their DNA back to Abraham. So much for "flesh profits nothing" in the NT.
These scum bag jews/judaics actually pay PhD's. to publish alleged "scientific research" proclaiming crap like this. And indescribably stupid lying naive "Christians" repeat it like parrots.
Tower of Babel?
YouTube - Tower of Babel? You didn't build that!
Some other Biblical Jew made that happen!
Let me ask the God fearing Christians.
Do you think Jesus would be treating the Palestinians in Gaza they way they are treated? Do you think Jesus condones nukes, WMDs or terrorism?
Do you think the Man from Galilee gave a damn which city is the capital of what?
Do you think Jesus and Israel have anything in common?
Where does the Nobel Peace Price winner POTUS and the Bain Capital Mormon fit in with the teachings of the man they claim to follow?
Anyway this is moot, as I believed that freedom of religion and seperation of church and state were mentioned in the Constitution somewhere and Tony asked all to rise while some Bishop prayed, what kind of freedom is that?
I rest my case.
As by the Bible, Jesus condones terrorism.
Jesus killed a few people in the Bible and see how he kills them. By leading a terrorist raid...
Was that the bit where he threw the money changers out of the temple?
TYLER .. playing that lucrative race/relgious card again. Hey just make it a daily thing then eventually more and more followers of ZH..Zioist Hatred will dump your ass ...this isn't the only site with financial information. It's a monument to your ego and an outlet to show how large you economic argot is.
Death to ZION.
I DEMAND a pre-emptive strike on Israel, as: 1) it has aquited nuclear weapon by repeatedly lying to international community (google: Mordechaj Vanunu) ; does not even care to be a member of IAEA (Iran Is!) 2) it occupies foreign territories, not only refuses to withdraw but constantly threatens extending the occupation, and fullfills its threats! 3) it is the recipient of 1/4 of ALL United Nations resolutions condemning acts commited by a sovereign country 4) it refuses to sign extradition agreements 5) it refuses to let it international inspectors 6) it constantly harrases other sovereign countries out of immense sums of money under the false pretense of Holocaust indemnities; truth is that murdered Jews were citizens of respective countries, not Israel, and there is no law existing that enables a COUNTRY to INHERIT (?) money left by citizens of different country 7) it spews hate and conspires to start several aggressive wars, using its proxies (USA!!) , via a real empire of media / banking / government influence ; this includes the recent hideous open discussion about bombing Iran - a peaceful country which has not attacked any other country in TWO HUNDRED YEARS 8) its spiritual leaders (like Rabbi Ovadya Yosef , spiritual chief of 2-nd biggest party in Kneset) openly claim that the only purpose of life of GENTILES is to SERVE their MASTERS (the JEWS); they wish the GOYIM good health and long life, so that they can work well and long for JEWS , exactly like a HORSE or a COW. Given the above, I demand an immediate pre-emptive strike on agressive, arrogant, extremely dangerous Zionist Regime .
ZH = ZIOIST HATRED
TYLER were you fired from a WS firm(s) by a Jew? ...gotta be.
Damn right we hate jooz like you! Screaming on a message board ... sheesh! Get a life....
ANYONE who has even just a LITTLE self-preservation instinct left, HAS to be an ENEMY of the ZION .
Because for the ZIONISTS, ALL NON-ZIONISTS are nothing but SLAVE labour force. Like a horse or a cow.
I'm a Zionist hater, zionism is an ideology not attatched to one race or religion so go get educated on this topic. Zionism is the spread of Imperialism the world over for control.
As usual, 'Americans' are kicking the can. Claiming that their government is bought when it reflects the will of the 'American' middle class.
Valuable info if repeative though in the article.
The 'american' faction named the republicans showed an opportunity in reaping voices by pressing an issue over Israel.
It makes the expression of it a popular concern: 'Americans' are ready to take position against or for that issue and cast votes accordingly, making it a political issue that politicians can milk.
Where is the value? In the recent past behaviour of 'Americans'.
The 'American' negro in the oval office, a few months ago, stated and got enacted that people were no longer entitled to a speedy trial, can be detained with no justification, assassinate or stuff like that. Something big relatively to the socalled 'American' values...
How many proeminent members of the political opposition feel this issue, that touched the very root of 'American' history as it is one of the issues reported in the declaration of independence, was concerning enough to bring in votes?
This was a perfect opportunity though, after all what 'Americans' stated over trial. It was a back to the root ticket, one to restore the US so called magnificence.
What was done?
Once again, it tells about the priorities of the 'American' public, and mostly the 'American' middle class.
Elected personal in 'Americanism' are mere servants who are always looking for the consent of their 'american' constituents.
Are 'Americans' ready to take position against infinite detainment? Nope. Because they support it.
US citizenism at work. It is all about liberty, truth and justice. So say 'american' propagandists and fantasists...

Hey Tyler dude..you love charts
No doubt this thread will go way over 20,000 reads ..... why don't you show us one of your dandy little charts on what your threads average readings are? Dare ya ..you're playing the race card big time .... it'll be a boon to show investors and commercial enterprises just the raw date ..big $$$.
TYLER, let me help you out and get you started.

216
1962

This should be time stamped so you can check it out...
Now tell me you're not playing the race card .....BTW I didn't go back to yesterdays heated debate which also involved race ..just what was that read count compared to ,say five other within it's proximity?
Wow,
and i thought I needed therapy.
Currently this thread is at 19,530 readings and asending
Go back to free republic fuckwit, those muppets share your delusions.
Sorry asshole but your time stamp is several minutes after mine. Of coourse the numbers change..what a fuck'n idiot.
WTF?
While i appreciate that english is not your first language, you could of least tried to learn it.
Yeah, you'll be loathed to dismountt a winninng horse but in you usual fashion when things go bad you do a tread dump and this thread will be buried back about three pages.
I didn't say you were a fool. quite the opposite, you're just playing the Jesse Jackson/Al Sharpton game.
It's an abomination that the United States does not have its embassy in Jerusalem. It could easily pick a spot in the Western half avoiding those issues it kids itself that it is avoiding.
60 minutes was doing a spot on Jerusalem and the wailing wall. As they were filming they approached a Jewish worshiper who was praying up against the wall while he was also banging his head against the wall backwards and forwards.
They asked him what he was doing. He replied that he was praying.
They asked him what we was praying about.
He replied, "I pray for peace between children and parents, husbands and wives, neighbours and also for peace between Jews and Muslims."
They then asked him how long he had doing this.
He replied, "For 45 years,"
They then asked him what it was like doing this for 45 years.
He replied, "It's like hittting your head against a fucking brick wall."
I guess that sums up the situation over Jerusalem as well as Jews and Muslims.
The dispute over Jerusalem can be resolved within 24 hours if the top 12 leaders from each side were put in a padlocked room.
Every two hours shoot one leader from each side if no compromise solution can be agreed upon.
I assure you, that when their own skin is in the game they can find solutions very quickly.
HEY HEY ....WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT > WHY THE READ COUNT ON THIS THREAD IS OVER 20,000 . I MISSED THE MOMENT SINCE I HAVE A LIFE BUT JUST AS I PREDICTED.SEVERAL POSTS AGO.
AMAZING WHAT RACISM AND BLIND HATE CAN DO ..SO ALL YOU SUPPORTERS OF Al Quida, Hezbollah, et.al. just keep those hate filled anti Jewish comments roll'n in ...
BTW, the NSA now is aware.
I don't think that the majority of people have racist attitudes against the people of Israel. I believe what they are expressing is a threefold frustration:
1. The living conditions of a number of Palestinian people which has been described as the biggest prison in the world.
2. The continuous financial support of Israel by the USA with no end in sight.
3. The land and property grabs by Israel.
It is no secret that the Jewish hierarchy prescribe and preach a siege mentality while the extremist sections of the palestinian people preach death to Israel. The other mostly silent and suffering 95% on both sides are more than capable of living side by side.
Any news on whether Jerusalem has been officially declared the capital of the USA yet?
tia.
I heard that Washington DC was declared the capiutal of Israel.
Hmmm......
Too bad it couldn't have been New York - as there'd be a ready-made Wailing Wall St
They claimed Miami years ago, slowly creeping up to DC.
North Beach.
Aint gonna be no ME revanchism.
Revanchist..... a word all should know.
For it is revanchism that is much talked about globally ex post facto when the losers of a war (which is ubiquitious in man's history) want what they lost to the victors back .... if ever truly adopted, which will never peacefully be done, then we end up back at the start of human history ... revanchism is a straw horse argument ..the victor get the spoils until they become the vanquished.
Those people who are unwilling to kill, will be enslaved by those who are.
EVERY goddamn country in the WHOLE WORLD gets its capital recognized EXCEPT Israel. So those who object should just die of shame at their own moral degeneracy
And while the politicians are all f^%*ing around with this issue, they increase the risk we will all soon need to recognize the capitals of Arizona, California, Florida, Michigan and Nevada, and half a dozen other states are bankrupt.
If God likes Jews so much why does he continually enslave them and constantly destroys their Temple?
God sent the Nazis and Henry Ford, the Rockerfellers, the Dulles Brothers, Prescott Bush, Averell Harriman and the Rothschilds to finance Hitler to exterminate the Jews.
Chosen people my ass!!!! Now the Jews have to compete with the magic Underpants People, Mormons, to see who the real chosen people are!
I am not trying to be mean, insensitive or a hater but, I cannot condone or support the actions of the Israelis.
I have very good reason to believe 90% of those calling themselves Jews are not even Semites.
Hate to break the news to you but, if you peruse this link you will see what I mean:
http://198.62.75.1/www2/koestler/
I see no reason to favor you people over another.
Read the link and tell me how you feell about it.
O.K.?
"If God likes Jews so much why does he continually enslave them and constantly destroys their Temple?"
That temple, or tower that you mention is the tower of Babel, God asked the Isralites to profess their love to God and not their earthly posessions. Their tower was a symbolism that they were the "God's" of their destiny, blasphine to say the least.
God struck the tower down to humble their way's, they came back at him claiming, "Although our "tower" has been destroyed and were enduring a major set back, we will replace the sycamore with a cedar, we will replace the bricks with stone and rebuild our tower (man made gateway to the heavans) to endure even God's wrath = Hubris.
Sort of like how our "towers of Babel" came down and the powers that be eventually began moving further away from the Church and God's Law and writing more Man's Law to subjugate. A Congressional represenative repeated the same passage in the Bible that mentions both the sycamore and “cedar” (more accurately in Hebrew “coniferous tree”, ??? ‘erez, H730) in a single verse–Isaiah 9:10:
“The bricks have fallen down, But we will rebuild with smooth stones; The sycamores have been cut down, But we will replace them with cedars.”
Even more amazing is the fact that this very verse was quoted by representatives of the American government from the U.S. Capitol on several occasions shortly after 9/11–both Tom Daschle and John Edwards used this verse to describe America’s attitude following the attacks–we would rebuild and come out even stronger than we were before. Basically, thumbing their nose at God again and believing that they can by themselves either ..
1) Create their own destiny using the Law of Man.
2) Don't care because they worship "other Gods".
3) Will never cede ruling power over their people because they are meglamaniacs.
American Hubris adopted from Israel. It's a sum -0- game. All they have to do is just pledge unto the Lord their faith and return to the Law of God or this will keep repeaing it'self.
Our Founders built the United States of America upon Go'd's Law, but has quickly tured into the Law of man, that's why were going to go down again and bound to keep repeating the same mistakes Israel has.
Bibi claims Israel is always being threatened or being attacked in one way or another. Israel is at war with it's self and Palisitne proves that to this day, he is killing his own people over a parcel of land that was given to those people.
They are their own worst enemy. This is a good video to get some people up to speed.

I wasn't referring to the Tower of Babel numnuts.
The two temples I was referring to was Solomans Temple, destroyed by the Babylonians and Herod's Temple destroyed by the Romans.
Solomon's Temple, also known as the First Temple, was the main temple in ancient Jerusalem, on the Temple Mount (also known asMount Zion), before its destruction by Nebuchadnezzar II after the Siege of Jerusalem of 587 BCE.
The Second Temple was an important Jewish shrine which stood on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem between 516 BCE and 70 CE. It replaced the First Temple which was destroyed in 586 BCE, when the Jewish nation was exiled to Babylon......The Romans destroyed Jerusalem and its Temple in 70 CE under Titus, decisively ending the Great Jewish Revolt that had begun four years earlier.
You seem not to know what you are taliking about.
If NO ONE VOTES, what would happen? If the GOV had no one to cast a vote for the seats/positions up for refill, what could they do? Anyway, Gary Johnson will be on the ballot in all 50 controlled territories.
Trust a US election to bring out every retard in ezistence from under their pet wailing-walls.
Wake me up after Zovember.
