SHOULD WE ATTACK IRAN?

Posted on by

Can Israel Be Talked Out of Attacking Iran?

 WHICH IS BETTER:

1) TO KNOW ONE SIDE ONLY AND STICK WITH IT?

2) TO KNOW DIFFERENT SIDES AND CHOOSE THE ONE THAT SEEMS TO BE THE MOST CORRECT? or

3) TO KNOW DIFFERENT SIDES BUT NEED MORE INFO BEFORE WE CAN CHOOSE?

Whether or not we attack Iran militarily is critical to how we will exist. -mackie

———————————————————————————————

  Former New York Times Executive Editor Bill Keller discusses the role emotion plays in Israel’s desire to attack Iran. He describes all the logical arguments to dissuade attacking Iran, but admits that emotional reactions are “almost unreachable by those sorts of arguments.”
Comment:

Look I’m no fan of Iran, but even our intelligence has said there is no reason to go to war with them. Even The former chief of Israel’s Mossad agency, Meir Dagan has said the same thing. The neo-cons of Israel and the neo-cons of America are the only one pushing for another war… don’t believe those warmongers…

OIL SUBSIDYS-SLUTS?-RELIGIOUS ZEALOTS…

Posted on by
RT@Mackiebzn SnteBgOil$ http://nyti.ms/yknsxh In 2005, Prsdnt G. W. Bsh: “With $55 oil, we don’t need incentives to oil & gas..” $106 nw?
If those arguments aren’t enough, we offer the Senate some words from President Bush. In a 2005 address to the American Society of Newspaper Editors, Mr. Bush spoke forcefully of the need for an energy strategy that looked to the long term and emphasized conservation and renewable fuels.

I would eliminate all subsidys to oil companies. They are profiting billions of $’s/yr. and we are giving them billions more of taxpayer $.

MANY ASKING IN DEBATES: “ARE YOU, OR IS HE A CHRISTIAN?”

Posted on by

C. S. Lewis wrote a great answer in “Mere Christianity” that has help many people, including me.- Enjoy. mackie 

“If conversion to Christianity makes no improvement in a man’s outward actions – if he continues to be just a snobbish or spiteful or envious or ambitious as he was before  then I think we must suspect that his ‘conversion’ was largely imaginary;

 and after one’s original conversion, every time one thinks one has made an advance, that is the test to apply. Fine feelings, new insights, greater interest in ‘religion’ mean nothing unless they make our actual behavior better; just as in an illness ‘feeling better’ is not much good if the thermometer shows that your temperature is still going up. In that sense the outer world is quite right to judge Christianity by its results.
 
Christ told us to judge by results. A tree is known by its fruit; or, as we say, the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
 When we Christians behave badly, or fail to behave well,
we are making Christianity unbelievable to the outside world.
 
The war-time posters told us that Careless Talk costs Lives.
It is equally true that Careless Lives cost Talk.
Our careless lives set the outer world taking;
and we give them grounds for talking in a way that
throws doubt on the truth of Christianity itself.”

Just last week, Scott Brown told a Massachusetts newspaper that the Buffett Rule – legislation that would get rid of special tax breaks for the very wealthy – would hurt millionaires. Join me and tell Senator Brown that he’s wrong on the Buffett Rule.

We need the Buffett Rule, but Senator Scott Brown won’t stop protecting millionaires. Join thousands of supporters and sign Elizabeth Warren‘s petition today.

WARNING: GROWING CONCERN……

Posted on by

CONCERNED? Some who started from humble beginnings who grew in wisdom and faith and became aware of the ETERNAL ONE who lead them to believe that all are “ENDOWED BY THEIR CREATOR TO HAVE LIFE, LIBERTY, PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS,” etc. Many who believed and shared this openly were and are destroyed emotionally, by reputation, etc. and physcally MURDERED by many who hated them.

It’s been going on since the beginning of human time AND IS SURELY GOING ON NOW: FROM ABRAHAM LINCOLN-
JFK, MLK, etc. IT BEGINS WITH VOCAL HATRED, BEATINGS AND ENDS IN HORROR. It’s happening and growing today. WILL YOU PRAY FOR THE PROTECTION OF OUR PRESIDENT, HIS FAMILY, OUR NATION, etc.? May God have mercy on those who hate with words of fire and untruths!

 
This morning, Feb 2, 2012, President Obama spoke at the annual National Prayer Breakfast. Presidents dating back to Dwight D. Eisenhower have attended the National Prayer Breakfast, joining faith leaders from around the country

MILLIONAIRES: USA 1%; CONGRESS 46%. SEE PROBLEM?

Posted on by

?1% Millionaires in USA. 46% MILLIONAIRES IN THE CONGRESS. SEE THE PROBLEM? No wonder the majority of them want reduced taxes while taking benefits from middle class, poor & elderly, students, etc. Read or listen below.-mackie

 
President Obama’s “Buffett Rule” would mean a new tax for people who make more than a million dollars a year, who currently pay a much lower rate than an average middle-class American. The president, in fact, proposed this rule to a group of people with a lot of millionaires in it: Congress.

President Obama continued laying what may be more groundwork for his re-election campaign Monday, including a new tax proposal. He calls it the “Buffett rule”: a new tax on people making more than $1million a year, who currently pay a much lower rate than an average middle-class American. The president, in fact, proposed this rule to a group of people with a lot of millionaires in it.

The number of Americans who are millionaires is pretty low — about 1 percent of the population. Members of Congress who are millionaires? Nearly 50 percent.

WE ARE ALL FROM THE ONE……….

Posted on by
HOW SAD IT IS THAT SOME PEOPLE WON’T ACCEPT THAT WE ALL ARE PART OF THE HUMAN RACE AND CAME FROM THE SAME SOURCE, whether from God or some planet. Down in my neck of the woods some say they couldn’t vote for Obama because of his race, or they think he was a muslim. Jesus was a dark skin palestinian Jew. The key to life is to love God with your whole being and your neighbor as yourself.

HALF TRUTHS, LIES, ect. Believed by non thinkers VS FACTS…

Posted on by
My comments from reliable sources and history to an article written by an opinionated person sent to me by a friend.
 
Barack Obama is the best thing that has happened to America in the last 100 years. Truly, he is the savior of America ‘s future. (No, it would be FDR in the last 100 yrs.)  Despite the fact that he has some of the lowest approval ratings among recent presidents (No,it’s about average), history will see Barack Obama as the source of America ‘s resurrection. Barack Obama has plunged the country into levels of debt that we could not have previously imagined (NO, WW I, THE GREAT DEPRESSION, WW II, VIETNAM, ETC., WERE MUCH WORSE AND WERE NOT IMAGINED); his efforts to nationalize health care (ALREADY HELPING THOSE WHO REALLY NEEDED IT) have been met with fierce (BY A FEW) resistance nationwide.
 
TARP bailouts and stimulus spending (TARP APPROVED AND STIMULUS SUPPORTED BY BUSH) have shown little positive effect on the national economy (NO, IT HAS CUT THE HORROR OF WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN BY THE DO NOTHING OPPOSITION IN HALF); unemployment is unacceptably high ( and looks to remain that way for most of a decade; legacy entitlement programs have ballooned to unsustainable levels (TO PROTECT THE INNOCENT ONES WHO WOULD HAVE SUFFERED MUCH MORE), and there is a seething anger (BY A FEW) in the populace.

That’s why Barack Obama is such a good thing for America.  (AN ACCURATE HISTORY WILL TELL).

 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
Surely there was waste. More accountability and regulation is needed by all (including our serves, schools, churches, businesses, corporations, governments, THE PENTAGON AND MILITARY COMPLEX, THE ENVIRONMENT, etc.).
 
BUT, THANK GOD SO FAR IN AMERICA, THE MAJORITY REACHES OUT (sometimes slowly, wastefully, feebly, etc) TO ALL PEOPLE TO HELP THEM HAVE LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.
 
It is truly a never ending story.  More later,-mackie
