No G-d For Democrats?

Democratic party heads rammed through the revised platform, which includes updated pro-Israel language and the mention of God, against the clear wishes of those voting at the convention in Charlotte.

By the sound of this clip, it appears that the majority of the party was simply not interested with the idea of acknowledging G-d or Jerusalem. The democrat party gives the impression that they truly feel their ideas are far more advanced and more wise than those ideas set forth by previous leaders and generations. It must be nice to have such ignorant confidence.

How did these ideas get removed in the first place? When did this happen? It looks like it took place during the Obama administration.

This is the paragraph that was in the 2008 platform:

“We need a government that stands up for the hopes, values, and interests of working people, and gives everyone willing to work hard the chance to make the most of their God-givenpotential.”

Now the words “God-given” have been removed. The paragraph has been restructured to say this: 

“We gather to reclaim the basic bargain that built the largest middle class and the most prosperous nation on Earth – 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.”

So what exactly is going on within the democrat party that they cannot agree on these very simple concepts? This entire episode is certainly not going to give party members confidence that their elected officials are representing them. Certainly disagreements occur within parties but the issue concerning G-d could create even larger divisions within the party.

America Has Declared War On Israel

I think this says it all.

US Cancels Envoy Visit to Israel

Washington told Israel that envoy, George Mitchel, has canceled his trip. This appears to be the result of Israel announcing a project to build 1600 apartments in East Jerusalem. Of course, you can only imagine, the Palestinians are whining about this, and it looks like Washington is trying to send a message supporting Palestinians.

Again, we are hearing about Palestinians acting like animals - hurling rocks, and burning tires.

Parts of Biblical Manuscript Reunited

An interesting article I found on the AP is revealing that ever since the Ashkar manuscript, which is one page of the Song of the Sea, was photographed and published in 2007, it caught the eyes of some others, who were able to match it with it's other part.

The two who saw this were Mordechay Mishor and Edna Engel, both of whom are Israeli paleographers. They both recognized that it was similar to what is referred to as the London Manuscript.

They were both displayed in Jerusalem, reunited, on Friday. These are both 1,300 year old fragments and, are part of the Hebrew Biblical manuscripts.

It is not known how the parts became separated, only that they are finally back together now.

Ancient Fortifications Found Support Biblical Reference

Eilat Mazar, an Israeli archeologist, believes she has discovered an age to fortifications found in Jerusalem. She claims that they are indeed 3,000 years old and that this goes hand in hand with the story from the Bible about a strong centralized government having a presence there during that time. According to the Bible, kings Solomon and David were ruling at that time.

"It means that at that time, the 10th century, in Jerusalem there was a regime capable of carrying out such construction," she said.

Of course, there are folks that are saying they don't see the evidence that way or, they don't agree. Mazar is convinced this finding is accurate, supportive of the Bible's account, and that the age of material found is indeed 3,000 years old.
