sc;
Are you on drugs?
I have to surmise from your senseless diatribe that you didn’t read my comment fully. You certainly didn’t comprehend it – public school educated? You probably got as far as a word or phrase that kicked in your robot programming that shut your brain down when you applied some demonizing label to me and began spouting your nonsense.
You make a lot of assumptions, you know what they say about making assumptions…you assume I’m pro Mulim/Palestinian and therefore anti-Semitic, you assume I’m pro Obama/socialist and not deeply conservative, you assume I’m behind some arbitrary learning curve. I can’t even tell what ‘guiding philosophy’ you are paying lip service to. You obviously do not have the intellectual integrity to have actually read the protocols yourself and therefore act in ignorance when you spew your misinformed hatred. Grow up indeed!
I merely offered a theory, backed up by legitimate evidence, looking for some feedback from an intelligent source – so why did you respond? Your ugly philippic directed towards me puts you in league with all those over zealous hysterical defenders of Israel and Zionism that will not accept ANY criticism of the latter. If you have something intelligent to contribute, by all means express it, I love to debate – otherwise shut the [comment has been edited].

The flag, as presented in the photo, is upside down which is the traditional signal of distress. As such it seems pretty accurate.

The position of the blue is set by the point of view of the observer. The only time that is a problem is on flags hung from rope across a street for instance. Done correctly the flag is only hung that way for parades that will be going just one way. The audience however could be on either side of the parade so they may see a flag with the blue on the right sometimes.

I found a reference to how to hang the flag over a street. It solves the direction problem.

“When the flag is displayed over a street, it should be hung vertically, with the union to the north or east. If the flag is suspended over a sidewalk, the flag’s union should be farthest from the building. ”

The centrifuges which Iran openly announced were installed in their underground plant, and subject to IAEA inspections (to which they are cooperative with) are only capable of up to 20% purity (which is the typical amount for medical research reactors) not ‘weapons grade enrichment’. As I understand it, weapons grade is upwards of 80% enrichment. When you consider the facts, it brings your argument to little more than fear-mongering.

They are not going to ‘blow up a million Jews’, speedle. Turn off the Jewish propaganda, stop beating the war drums, and get an education.

Of course you are kidding TML. “…subject to IAEA inspections (to which they are cooperative with..????”

They are not cooperating with anything sir. Have you not heard of the various underground facilities that no one can see? If they were not enriching to “weapons grade” please tell us why they have to hide all this. Do you read the rants of their leaders regarding Israel and the U.S.? Are you aware of their funding of multiple terrorist organizations? And you think they would never us a nuke? You are dangerously delusional.

speedle says “They are not cooperating with anything sir. Have you not heard of the various underground facilities that no one can see? If they were not enriching to “weapons grade” please tell us why they have to hide all this.”

Apparently you have a reading comprehension problem. I just mentioned the underground facilities in my reply above, and the fact is, they aren’t hiding it. It’s obviously well known, why? …Because they are cooperating with IAEA inspection… Duh
And it’s placed underground to attempt keeping it safe against airstrikes that Israel continues to threaten.

speedle says “Do you read the rants of their leaders regarding Israel and the U.S.?”

Yes, I’m well aware of the ‘rants’ on both sides.

speedle says “Are you aware of their funding of multiple terrorist organizations?”

One man’s terrorist is another man’s patriot. Those terrorist organizations were formed in response to Israeli invasions and aggression in Lebanon and Palestine.

speedle says “And you think they would never us a nuke? You are dangerously delusional.”

I guess it completely escapes your attention when Iran says they are not even interested in nuclear weapons, and explains why. Of course, you won’t believe that; you will only believe what you want to believe. The delusion is yours my friend, and it is born of irrational fear. THAT is dangerous.

Mr. Livingston: you, sir, are incorrect. I could have shown you MANY verbally abusive, name calling and insulting, posts made on your other articles that you allowed to stand without censor. Other commentors even took issue with him ‘Jeff’, however, YOU allowed him to insult anyone he wanted to. Me thinks you speak with forked tongue!

Bob, you can call it whatever you want to call it but its still censorship! Playing word games like this is for children – either let it stand OR delete everyone else’s. There are tons of verbally abusive, name calling, unfair and denegrating comments made by your commentors but you let them stand~! Then you ‘edit’ a post. You play like obummer! I don’t use foul language but I do defend myself when I am denegrated by another poster, and it’s my RIGHT to do so. Obviously, when other posters agree with ME and support and defend my position to the abusive, name calling individual “Jeff”, then it would appear you, as moderator, is the only one with a problem as to the content. Again, it is what it is! If you don’t want truthful comments or opinons then don’t make it available on your articles! Simple!

Love your post….. So true!

Jopa, this is the year 2012 and we have crap falling down all over us and around us from economic failure to the most corrupt administration in more than a century to radicals attacking Americans to nut bags who hate us developing nuclear bombs, and you are concerned about some teenage hazing supposedly done by Romney 50 years ago. Man, you have some serious priority issues.

Hi jopa, I think if you have to go back to something someone allegedly did as a kid to find something wrong with the guy, you are desperate.
Of course all that pot smoking and coke Obama did in his youth, really helped form him into what he is.
Going to school on “other peoples money” might explane his attitude about government entittlements too.

Hey jopa, you never did anything stupid when you were a kid?

Yes,..I am amazed that you see a difference between Bush and Obama on foreign policy matters. And on the economy? You’re defending BHO economy? Wow

Yes, Alex I am still amazed that people like you cab be such good useful idiots for nothings like obama. You are suposed to have a brain and be an adult. by the way when do those two things kick in for you?

Alex, it bothers you not at all that Obama has run the deficit up more than any President before him going all the way back to George Washington? (And in less than 4 years)Yet you are concerned about what the GOP did in only 8? Why don’t you just come on out and admit you are in the tank for the one? (obama)

Alex, why did you mention Wounded Knee? That was an attack by American soldiers on mostly unarmed native Americans. You do understand that Wounded Knee was not an attack upon American soil by a foreign power, don’t you?

And four years of the obama regime still sees us losing jobs each month, yet you are proud of voting for obama?

Alex, you should really lay off the liberal kool-aid.

The economy started its tanking after the Democrats took the House and Senate in 2007, Have you forgotten that Barney Fwank told the American people that Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac were financially sound? Also, the Community Reinvestment Act under Clinton, forcing banks to loan money to minorities and people that couldn’t afford them under pain of losing their charters might have had something to do with the huge housing bubble that formed after its passage. Being a professional pilot of 43 years, I am trained to observe, and I observe that anytime the Democrats get into power the economy goes downhill and civil liberties go by-by, and they are more racist than Jesse Jackson and Reverend Wright combined.

I do agree that the Patriot Act is unconstitutional and an abuse of executive power, but then so is the NDAA that Obama pushed through.

I guess you have forgotten Pearl Harbor, which happened on FDR’s watch. Of course, the little fact of his administration starving the Japs of oil had nothing to do with their attack… My money is on his Democratic administration intentionally provoking it.

Next thing will be you telling us that George Bush was responsible for 9/11 because of how horribly he treated the poor muslims. The attack was a failure of intelligence, to be sure (thanks for emasculating the CIA, Slick Willie), but I am pretty certain that even the Democrats would have not been able to stop that attack. And I wonder just what response you would envision that George Bush should have undertaken… Perhaps TALK to the radicals? After 16 years of living in Saudi and the UAE I assure you that talking to muslims as an infidel is a waste of time since they are instructed by their koran to lie, and it is their MANDATE to enable and bring forth a worldwide caliphate of islamic control under sharia law. This is what we are/were fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, and you had better wake up to that fact or start learning Arabic and how to bow to mecca at your 5 times a day prayer sessions. Or you could just be a slave. Or you could just die. Those are your choices. Me, I will take as many of them with me as I can unless the Democrats take away my guns.

If there is anyone dense here, my money is on you.

Can’t speak for anyone else but, YES, I’m amazed! If we look at the records of the 107th., 108th., and 109th. Congresses, while they were clearly and very saddly, NOT examples of fiscally responsible Congresses, they did manage to keep our anual budget deficit increases to 2.7% (about 2.9% higher than I’d prefer)!Midway throught the first year (2007) of the 110th. Congress, that increase began a meteoric rise, that didn’t culminate untill mid 2008 at OVER 6%! A couple of months later, the Econmoy was facing a catastrophic collapse! Care to guess at the make-up of the 110th. Congress?

I begrudgingly concede…. a good post…. and true ala the mindset of the nation in ’08.

But, what’s good for the goose…….. We’ll agree BHO is an over-achiever in that it took 8yrs of Bush-43 to turn off the electorate while Chairman ObaMao only needed 2 to spur the ’10 mid-term rout.
