Middle America's Worldview

So a Clinton-Obama ticket this year?
Now that Obama looks to be the Democrat candidatefor this years presidential race.

Gee, I thought this would occur around January, sigh. I guess it was fodder for the news outlets.

Maybe now we will learn more of Obama on his stances, like anti or prowar, ect. I would like to learn more from him, rather than these preachers everyone is flocking too.

Recently, a new video emerged showing Obama is anti-Israel.

AMY GOODMAN: Ali Abunimah, I wanted to ask you about the candidates in the United States. You’re speaking to us from Chicago, so let’s start with Barack Obama. The stances of the presidential Democratic and Republican candidates on the Israel-Palestine conflict. I can’t remember when in a debate they were asked about the mounting crisis there.

ALI ABUNIMAH: I don’t know if they’ve been asked in a debate, but whenever they have been asked, they have all gone out of their way to express full support for what Israel is doing. Barack Obama is not distinguished from the rest of the pack, except by for how far he has moved to try to appease AIPAC and pro-Israel movements.

I remember, Amy—I knew Barack Obama for many years as my state senator—when he used to attend events in the Palestinian community in Chicago all the time.

I remember personally introducing him onstage in 1999, when we had a major community fundraiser for the community center in Deheisha refugee camp in the occupied West Bank. And that’s just one example of how Barack Obama used to be very comfortable speaking up for and being associated with Palestinian rights and opposing the Israeli occupation. And just yesterday, he apparently sent a letter to Zalmay Khalilzad, the US ambassador at the UN, to urge the US not to allow any resolution to pass criticizing Israel and saying how Israel was forced to impose this barbaric medieval siege on Israel.

None of the other candidates in the mainstream have spoken out for Palestinian rights. The only ones who have taken forceful positions opposing the current US strategy are Dennis Kucinich on the Democratic side and Ron Paul on the Republican side. The mainstream are all perfectly comfortable with the war crimes that Israel is committing, no matter how much they talk about human rights elsewhere.

I haven't posted in awhile. I had a great time this weekend with the family. Due to me being oncall during the weekend (not Memorial Day), we stayed close to home. Yet, it was nice to spend quality time together.

This 4 day work week will go by fast.

I will be assisting our TeamKids church tonight by actually doing a class alone. Half of our teachers will be out tonight, gone on a camp trip.

Last night, we went to the local Rodeo. I actually enjoyed it. However, due to sinuses my head feels like an anvil being way-layed on this morning.

This morning while reading up on my "sites I actually read", I came across some Mozilla Addons I haven't acquired. So, I downloaded these babies to try out.



This weekend we will be going camping for one night. My wife has a family reunion we will be attending. Yeah camping!

The wife and I have 2 nights to ourselves. The kids are at their grandparents. We already cleaned the house up during the day, and did not have to really run anywhere Thursday night.

So what did we do? Enjoyed the peace and quite. LOL

My wife watched the season finale of Grey's anatomy while I purused the net while watching "An Inconvient Truth". I grabbed if from the library.

I think Al Gore did a great job. I was a bit surprised he even remarked the Revelation of the bible. After seeing the documentary, it became obvious (to me) he merely stated the facts. However, other groups are utilizing those facts toward their own view of the 'why'. I would recommend the dvd with an open mind.

I also came across an interesting site called Prophet.tv. If you have some time on your hands, check it out. Thus far, I only seen this one. Each video is about 70 minutes long. Like I said, if you have the time.

I also updated my Resource site by adding a page showing some exorcisms.

This is a bit concerning. I like most love what Google produces. Let's face it though, they are the Microsoft of the internet. Their hand sweeps pretty much everything out there.

New articles are showing Google canceling a sites adsense account, not because of the sites breaking the term of usage, rather by Googles choice.

The site is called Enturbulation and it puts the light on facts against Scientology.

Enturbulation received this from Google.

"While going through our records recently, we found that your AdSense account has posed a significant risk to our AdWords advertisers," read Google's letter to Enturbulation, a kind of home base for the now famous Anonymous movement. "Since keeping your account in our publisher network may financially damage our advertisers in the future, we've decided to disable your account."

I personally find this disturbing. Now you have the spotlight on the internet giant, dismissing accounts, not due to the enduser's actions, but simply of their own pick and choosing.

The Register

A very cool video. You need to watch the whole thing.

An interesting read, from a view of a Jew.

Evangelizing Jews by Ravtovia

I was so impressed with the Narnia, Prince Caspian movie. Yes, it did not flow as the book had, but it had alot more enriching scenes in it.

The book based more on the faith of Aslan, and trusting that faith.

The movie touched on this, but not as much. However, the movie did touch on the question of 'follow myself' or trust and wait. There was a bit of a possible romance as well.

In all, I was very impressed, and the kids totally enjoyed it. I highly recommend this movie!

The son and I made it the first night as bachelors. LOL
We had our own sleepover in the living room together on the floor.

We ended up with two games for the WII.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance
Medal of Honor 2

We ended up playing Marvel most of the evening. I admit, it was pretty cool.

We stopped the gaming about 9:30 and watched SpongeBob till we crashed.

Around 12:15 a.m. I woke up shivering to find my son and the dog with more cover than I on the living room floor. I grabbed another blanket from the hall closet.

This morning, I am trying to convey too him, as bachelors we should eat cold pizza for breakfast. He's not buying it.

Tonight, my wife and daughter hits the outdoors for a Girlscout camping trip(2 nights). So that leaves the son and I the house alone. What does my son want to do while the girls are away? Party of course.

His party consist of sleeping in the living room and gaming. He acquired a new game, Lego Star Wars:The complete saga. I know will be hitting that game first. I tried to see online if there were any co-op war games, he and I can fight together. However, most seem to be single player or online multiplayer. Oh well. We plan to hit a blockbuster to go look this evening. I found a 10 dollar blockbuster gift card that been burning in my wallet now anyway.

So as the girls are roughing it, I will be in a warm house playing away on the game console. I am sure potato chips, snacks will be involved.

Saturday, the kids and I are going to the theaters to watch Narnia 2 Prince Caspian!
I am excited to see it. I have been reading the book with the kids during the evenings and we just finished the Prince Caspian story last night.

OK. I have added a ton of new stuff to my Resource for the Christian site.

I have added videos, external links, freeware, ect.

Check it out.

I am constructing a new site ( yes another one ). This one will allow me to pool in all resources regarding biblical and christian knowledge.

The site is called Resource for the Christian

I hope it expands to ssomething useful.

Today my youngest turns nine. Hard to believe, but time does truly fly. I recall when he was so small in my hands, but now he gives me a run for the money on video games.

I love my kids to death, but it's hard at times to see them grow up so fast.




-------------------Recap of the weekend----------------
Over the weekend, I was able to get some things accomplished. We finished up our son's room before Kel left Friday morning.

I had the Friday night with the kids alone. I realize alot of dad's don't really enjoy these times, but I absolutely look forward to them.

We rented 2 new games at blockbuster to play. We also went out to Olive Garden (I t was nice just the 3 of us). After dinner, we ran to see my brothers first son Kindergarten graduation.

The kids out lasted me in the Friday night party. I was able to figure out the wireless on their DS game, as they took turns playing their rental's. Munching on chips, I lasted till about midnight and then had to crash.

Per their request, I pulled in a small tent into the living room. I know they crashed shortly after me.

Saturday, I had my parents over to spend time with the kids. I think everyone enjoyed the time (at least each of them said so). We also broke open the St. Martin Rum.

Kel returned around 4:30 p.m. from her trip. She was greeted with alot of "I missed you" and hugs from the kids. You think they were bored without her or something.(frown)

Sunday, we went again to the new church. I am constantly encouraged with the pastor's message and amazed of the way this church grasp technology.
