Anti-Semitism In France!

Sounds like Bill Clinton while he was playing hanky-panky in the White House, while lieing through his teeth to the entire country, before he was impeached!! Now that's a real American!

I wish somebody would give Bush a BJ so we could impeach him! Any volunteers?

Ron you're talking out both sides of your mouth about patriotism. Where do you get this stuff?

And like Lisa, I have answered your question about my faith as have several others, you just don't like our answers.

Saying that unless we believe what you CHOOSE to believe, we have no basis for our religion or spirituality is just plain silly. Where do you get this stuff???

Are you thick-headed or just a plain ole' fool? I mean, after all, where in the world do you get this stuff?

trashed the premises when he left office.

http://archives.cnn.com/2001/ALLPOLITICS/stories/01/26/whitehouse.pranks.02/index.html

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Though President Bush said "there might have been a prank or two," a Clinton administration official Friday denied reports of last-minute vandalism at the White House by workers with the just-departed Democratic tenants.

Mark Lindsay, former President Clinton's assistant for Management and Administration, told CNN he toured the White House just before George W. Bush's inaugural Saturday and "did not see one instance of vandalism, not a single one."

He said he saw some 100 computers during the walk-through of the West Wing and the Eisenhower Executive Office Building and has no recollection of the letter "W" missing from the keyboards, as was reported by Republican sources.

Lindsay conceded some offices were in disarray, but he explained, "If people are working around the clock, their first priority is not keeping it the neatest."

There are other reports also that the "trashing" of the White house never happened.

Carlene: Bush is such a bad person, I might not be willing to give him a BJ, but I might be willing to hire someone to do the job. But I doubt very seriously if the new legislature would impeach him, like the Republicans did Clinton. They'd think up some reason why it's okay for Bush because afterall, to say HE is wrong is to be unpatriotic and liberal.

Clinton...lied through his teeth to the entire country,

To quote the bumpersticker: When Clinton Lied, No One Died.

Are you trying to say that you think Bush has been honest during his presidency? :faint:

There is a danger that was not exposed in this thread.

I just finished watching 60 minutes last from last night on my DVR (Tivo type unit). There was a story about a Nazi concentration camp that was used as a showcase to the world to hide what the Nazis were actually doing. The International Red Cross inspected that camp in 1944 and raved about how well the Jews were being treated. One surviver of the camp (now in his late 70's) said it was easy for the Red Cross and the World to believe (that lie) because they wanted to believe it. Jews have always been treated poorly and thought this thread was named about and seemed to be a complaint against ill treatment of Jews (in France), not much was actually said about the Jews (accept maybe they should accept Christ as their personal savior). It is easier (for some) to look the other way when evil is done to an unpopular group. Or a group that doesn't accept Jesus like us. Though the opening post is supposed to be about the problems of the Jews, it is more about those evil Muslims (who also don't accept Jesus like us).

During our long (155 page so far) conversation, it has been debated whether the God of the Qur'an is the God of the Christians and Jews, and some have been said that the Qur'an is not a real holy book and/or is not as good as the Bible and scriptures from the Bible have been offered up to put the Qur'an down.

This is the first step toward doing to the Muslims in the USA what Hitler did to the Jews in Germany. The Nazis could never have committed those atrocities against "normal" Germans. It was easy however to arrest Jews, Gays and Gypsies, and hold them without charges, without access to legal council and to sentence them without trial (to death). Almost sounds like the BuSh policy regarding non-combat detainees.

It will be very easy to round up the unbelievers of Jesus as soon as another 911 happens. It will be easy to hold the 5 million Muslim/Americans responsible because they do not believe in Jesus like us. They do believe in Jesus, but not as we do, but that will not be good enough to stop the paranoia, fear and the selling of our souls (and civil rights) for security.

The Christian Right political Movement will be right out front calling for the detention of these Godless immigrants, even though they pray more often than Christians do, pray to the same God and it will not whether they were born here or naturalized.

Has anyone ever wondered why I have a Right-wing quote as my signature?

One member (not long after I joined LBT) welcomed me as a Republican to LBT.

Well, I have been waiting for someone to comment on my sig for about 7 months.

"The National Government will regard it as its first and foremost duty to revive in the nation the spirit of unity and cooperation. It will preserve and defend those basic principles on which our nation has been built. It regards Christianity as the foundation of our national morality, and the family as the basis of national life."

Is it a quote by George W. BuSh? Or Jerry Falwell? Or Pat Buchanan?

It is proof of how close we (in the USA) are to another Holocaust.

Re the above comments, I don't know whether you have been hearing about this American government's practice of extraordinary rendition. This is what they did when they took the Canadian citizen, Maher Arar, and deported him to Syria, a country which does permit torture. The aircraft which was carrying him and a few American officials stopped over in Italy in order to refuel while on its way to Syria.

Well, it seems that the government has practiced extraordinary rendition before with other citizens of western countries who are Muslim and who the government believes to have terrorist connections. They kidnap them and fly them to Islamic countries which do practice torture. Because European soil is involved, either for the kidnappings - the CIA is involved - or as stop-overs while planes are being refueled, the Europeans are now becoming officially engaged in this issue. It seems that they are not amused by these antics!

There has been refueling stop-overs in Sweden, Germany and in the case of Arar, the Canadian who was recently paid 11 million dollars by the Canadian government for damages, in Italy. The Italians are particularly annoyed because a Muslim cleric living in Italy was kidnapped by the CIA and sent to Egypt where he was tortured and sexually abused.

Oh I understand his point! I just believe it's blowing things way out of proportion and promoting alarm and scare politics, that's all! Our government is not the bad guy! He has things mixed up!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!
