Middle East History

by @ 8:11 am on June 5, 2009. Filed under Mark Levin Audio

In response to Obama’s rewriting of history, Mark treated his audience to a history lesson on the Middle East.

Slightly different than Obama would lead you to believe, don’t you think?

    MARK LEVIN has history CORRECT!! OBAMA clearly does NOT!! MARK LEVIN went to an extra-ordinary effort to provide facts as they relate to history regarding the Middle East. The point here is OBAMA misled his listeners as a means of distorting what has already been clearly established in the history books, to advance his agenda.

    Facts are facts OBAMA, and it is impossible to “re-write or change” history, although as USURPER SUPREME, I am sure you will give it your best effort……..

    Hopefully there will be people who will actually examine what Mark has dug up here and recognize things for what they are. To many, I’m sure, it won’t matter. They are blinded by the cult mentality, willful victims of steamroller demagoguery. Facts and figures are obstacles that merely cloud the truth and mean nothing to them. That’s why it’s so hard to argue with them. If they don’t have an answer to a question posed to them, all they have to do is call you a racist or a right-wing nut job or whatever and that settles the argument for them.

    How can you, with the true history of this region dating back to biblical times stand there and tell Israel what they need to fix? But you have to give Obama credit for staying true to his ideology, an ideology that consistently exonerates evil and vilifies what’s good.

    Most if not all who are Jewish, interested in history or are of the Christian faith know Mr. Levin’s comments to be TRUE! Those who listen to Mr. Levin do so because they know him to not only search for TRUTH but to convey it to the public as well. As he himself has stated “there are those who are wise and then those who are… otherwise”! Those who listen to Mr. Levin do so because they ARE wise and seekers also of TRUTH. They also know they will hear it from him. Even when at times they wish they hadn’t. It would also appear to me Mr. Obama does NOT listen to Mr. Levin and is otherwise! There can be NO other explanation for the statements Mr. Obama makes! I don’t know how anyone could be so wrong on so many things and still be taken seriously.

    ML is spot on target.

    The problem with the historic prospective of the Middle East is that you have to peel off layer after layer of pseudo intellectualism and self-serving history designed to achieve a political goal, before you get at the truth. If someone were to look at our past elections from some future perspective they would need to blast through layers of media distortion, bias and outright lies in order to properly dissect out what the Obama presidency and the congressional majority means in terms of American free enterprise, capitalism and the concept of individual liberty and freedom. You will not get that from today’s scholastic institutions nor do I expect that the future will provide anything other than more sophisticated distortions so what you would be left with is a lot of detective work and a few good books. Actual historical events are one thing but the interpretations are amazingly different.

    An easy way to understand today’s middle east is to take a broad look at the current situation and extrapolate backwards. Before and during the Middle Ages Islam and Christianity may have been at odds, but Islam was at war with itself far more than Catholics and Protestants and despite the many European religious and non-religious wars Christianity has largely evolved to become religions of moderation, inclusiveness and most of all tolerance while the current Islamic World has not changed much from the clannish and tribal religious infighting that existed for the past thousand years. There are no Catholic, Presbyterian or Episcopalian suicide bombers and all of Christianity supports Judaism. I would rather be a Muslim in Massachusetts than a Christian in Saudi Arabia or Darfur and I would certainly prefer to be a Muslim woman in Utah, who chooses to wear a Berka, than a woman in almost any Muslim Country, who chooses not to wear one; in such countries individual human rights are granted or denied, not by nature or God, but by men substituting for the will of God; under such circumstances there are no unalienable rights, only dispensed considerations based upon class, religion, sect and gender. Obviously a government established to preserve the natural rights of the individual protects all liberties while any other form of government, based upon group distinctions, by definition treats some differently than others. That concept would have a big problem reconciling with our 14th Amendment as well as the Bill of Rights. Notice how easy it is to criticize Christianity in America and imagine the repercussions of a similar critique of Islam in a Muslim country or even in European countries with large Muslim populations. Madonna (the entertainer) would be far more hesitant to criticize Mohamed in Pakistan than Jesus Christ in NY. And while an elephant dung painting of the Madonna (mother of Jesus), surrounded by female genitalia, was exhibited as a work of art in a NY museum you would forfeit your life if you substituted Mohamed within a similar artistic presentation in most of the Islamic World. There is no such musical as ‘Mohamed Superstar’.

    Considering the aforementioned much of the mid-east is still but a flash point away from some sort of self-dismembering Jurassic chaos so I can’t imagine that the absence of Israel or the existence of a Palestine State would transform the region into a rhapsodic nirvana filled with melodious harpsichords and flutes where Persian Iran could be safely trusted to process nuclear fission to generate cheap self-serving energy that she would share with her Arab neighbors in lieu of IED’s. In fact, I’m convinced that the Palestine turbulence is a necessary ingredient to justify hostilities that would most certainly exist in this region even if there were no Palestine or Israel in the first place and in a strange sort of way the presence of Israel and the conjured immediate need for a Palestinian state distracts from establishing real human rights reforms in the countries that complain the most about Israel and America.

    I never considered Rashid Khalidi a friend of Israel nor do I consider friends of his likely to be friends of Israel especially when they spend untold hours campaigning for Muslims such as Odinga the Kenyan Prime Minister, who supports radical imams, wishes to impose Shariah law in Kenya and hates the US and Israel. These are the same people that support ethic cleansing in Darfur and would love to see Israel expunged from the map. Little reported by our state sponsored media was Obama’s enormous personal effort to help Odinga defeat the Kenyan Kibaki government, which has been a solid supporter of our war against Islamic extremism. After the two African embassy bombings it seems inconceivable that any sympathizers with those who sympathize with terrorist sympathizers could be elected to the highest office in our Country to assume the role of Commander-in-Chief with the responsibility of protecting us from the same people that he helped to get elected in the homeland of his father and possibly his own birthplace. Furthermore, how astonishing is it that the greatest country in the world actually allowed such a dumb thing to occur? The Israelis, who are students and victims of the region’s history, are not as naïve as the many Americans who voted for this mutant, no fault, Christian/Muslim hybrid diplomacy. Many Christians will buy it, most Muslims never will and most Israelis have figured that out.

    For those secular Jews that wanted that other Alinskyite for President, the chicken hawk Secretary of State that believes that Palestinian suicide bombers are comparable to our Revolution’s freedom fighters, you now have them both, the newly discovered Muslim and his wisely appointed Secretary joined in singular purpose to see if they can catch a Nobel Prize for coercing the Israelis to give up a piece to obtain peace while they undermine Netanyahu in the process. This, from a Country which chose to fight in Iraq and whose new diplomacy strategy is not to impose its values on other countries. Sounds like the same deal offered to our banks and the States that did not desire to take the stimulus money. Dick Morris had it wrong. It was not the Clintons that forced Obama to grant her a cabinet role it was he who needed to bolster his mid-east diplomacy with the perfect foil that always was in lock step with Rashid Khalidi and the man that appointed her. Not bad for an amateur from Chicago’s South Side as the dimwitted World dispenses platitudes a narcissist is only too happy to accept in lieu of focused criticism over domestic economic major missteps. If I were on his team the next misstep designed to incur distraction will be what we are all waiting for…health reform. Like the banks, the States, our corporations and Israel… do we have a choice?

    I am so glad Mark gave us the events of the M/E history, the Libs just try to cover up so much. Thanks again Mark.
