Charles Krauthammer: Making sense of Obama’s Middle East speech | Full Comment | National Post

Peace can only be possible with the truth, and absolute truth, not a relative one. It can be argued that Israel has its truth and that Palestine and with it, the whole Arab and Persian world has its own truth; but still the actual fact is that only one truth exists and if peace is the word so much utilized across decades of negotiations, then peace needs to be that elusive truth, the common goal, the point of concurrence.

Unfortunately, peace is too made relative to the political winds in the Middle East. If the existence and presence of Israel is not going to be 'accepted' not to say 'tolerated' in the area, why then not just embrace the side that calls for its disbanding and wait for the outcome.

But it's been seen across many decades as well, that many wars have been fought precisely with that objective and that still the objective seems to be that, unchanged. Before, during and after the 1967 war, the six day war; the goal has been the same and it is 'unchanged' and now, a President that never worked in private life and so without an actual clue on how realities of life are; spends years to bring down the Bush doctrine in the Middle East only to end up embracing it and then again, proposes not to go to the beginning, nor to put and end to the conflict but to find a spot 35 years ago where nothing really changed, except that some Arab countries lost territory in a war designed to destroy the one, but where the 'one' ended up increasing its security by expanding its area of security.

I think it is either incompetence of Obama or his hidden brotherhood to the many, that makes this possible. Things are definitively worst.

A pilgrimage to Midland, a walk for life and freedom on Canada day

Dear Mr. Harper. As our leader, I am appealing to you two months now, before July 1 st , Canada day, on which we celebrate the nation we are wanting to be, and on which I have committed to the Lord, my walking pilgrimage to the Shrine in Midland, Ontario; that commemorate our true martyrs, people like us, who gave everything for the building of our nation, in the only possible way a nation could ever be build, by giving everything to God.

When God is offended, should we become violent?

Our God is all love and truth, who asks from us humility and forgiveness. Our God is the only living God. He has the word of eternal life. Observing the process of the current protests in the Middle East and many other places in the world by the so called followers of Islam, presumably outraged because they do not like what is being presented in a film about their prophet; it is interesting to distinguish that factual truth, about what is missing in the whole staging of these protests and it is precisely, truth, love, humility and forgiveness and it is not precisely from the ignorant mobs perpetrating the assaults under the direction of their evil leaders, but from the ones supposedly protecting the basic and fundamental freedoms we all in the western civilization which is founded in Christianity, have for granted.

Affordable Housing

At any point in time any house is an affordable house, or a house that can be afforded by the person or family living within. Tents are affordable houses as much as mansions are. Governments, of any level cannot fix the housing problem because they are the housing problem. It is their taxes, mostly all of them irrational and ruthless, that causes people to go into financial stress and desperation. Why is it that a housing problem exists? Governments, of any level can only destroy economies by meddling in them. By legislating in favour of some and in detriment of others. Governments are not meant to choose winners and losers. By allowing such irrationality what it’s accomplished is corruption at the highest level. Let’s look at the construction matter. The narrative says governments of every level are engaged in building infrastructure, roads, trains, airports, etc. The construction industry of course goes beyond those areas but also and especially, it is about housing,...
