"Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton invoked the Bible yesterday to criticize a stringent border security measure that, among other things, would make it a federal crime to offer aid to illegal immigrants. "
"It is hard to believe that a Republican leadership that is constantly talking about values and about faith would put forth such a mean-spirited piece of legislation," she said of the measure, "It is certainly not in keeping with my understanding of the Scripture because this bill would literally criminalize the Good Samaritan and probably even Jesus himself," she said. "We need to sound the alarm about what is being done in the Congress."
Hmmm. Her knowledge of the Bible doesn't seem too good. Or maybe it's her usage. She whips out the Bible at this time, but ignores it other times? That shows her conviction of the Bible. It's either all, or nothing, as we see in Rev 3:16. But what else can we see of her intimacy with the Bible?
"I am and always have been pro-choice, ..." (Source: New York Times, pg.A11 Jan 22, 2000)
"[Our] core beliefs and values can guide us in reaching our goal of keeping abortion safe, legal and rare into the next century." (Source: Remarks to NARAL, Washington DC Jan 22, 1999)
The Bible is clear on human life - it is sacred. And the Bible clearly identifies the developing child in the womb as a CHILD. So, the best verse to tie this together is Prov 6:16 - 17 "These six [things] doth the LORD hate: yea, seven [are] an abomination unto him: ...... hands that shed innocent blood,..." What is an unborn child guilty of? Nothing, so it's innocent.
So we see that Hillary's Bible knowledge is very selective, she only pulls it out when it meets her needs, but ignores it when it's a hindrance, as with abortion.
Let's look at her other claims:
"..would literally criminalize the Good Samaritan and probably even Jesus himself.."
What she's talking about is a part in the security measure that "would make it a federal crime to offer aid to illegal immigrants. "
First things first. The good Samaritan was legally in the country. The man he helped was legally in the country. Jesus was legally in the country, and so were the people he helped.
Next. It would be "a federal crime to help illegal immigrants." That statement in itself should be explanatory, but let's look at it anyway. An "Illegal Immigrant" is an immigrant, someone who belongs to one country, but has come to another country. Illegal means "not legal." So an Illegal Immigrant is someone that is in a country against it's established laws. So they are breaking the law, they are a criminal.
What is it called when someone helps a criminal? It's "Aiding and abetting a criminal," which is a felony/misdemeanor.
Aiding and abetting a criminal
1. A criminal offense had been committed;
-(Coming into the country ILLEGALLY)
2. The defendant knowingly associated with the person who committed the crime;
3. The defendant participated in the crime as something he or she wished to bring about;
4. The defendant intended by his or her actions to make the crime succeed.
So, the measure that has Sen. Clinton upset, and inappropriately using the Bible is only making it clear of what is already taking place. People are coming into this country illegally, and other folks, including Local, State and Federal governments, are aiding and abetting them.
Now, I'm not against providing the basic human necessity to these folks, but they should be returned immediately to their own country, and discouraged from coming back unless it is legal. And their country should bear the cost of this activity, not the the offended country.
Finally, a comment from Dick Morris.
"Morris says there was more to Hillary Clinton's bible-themed immigration critique on Wednesday than meets the eye.
Blasting a GOP bill that would make illegal immigration a felony, Mrs. Clinton complained:
"It is certainly not in keeping with my understanding of the Scriptures. This bill would literally criminalize the Good Samaritan and probably even Jesus himself."
Morris tells NewsMax: "The woman who said that she was 'adamantly against' illegal aliens now compares them to Jesus.""
Blasphemy?

Hamas; Offense, or Defense?
Speaking at a gathering marking 40 days since the death of the head of the Palestinian National Council, (the leader of the Hamas) Khaled Mash’al emphasized the importance of the “Palestinian spirit” in winning the historic battle against Zionism.
In his speech, he said “The liberation [of Palestine] will come with the help of Allah, until it is attained by the last soldier, woman, and child, despite resistance by Israel and the United States… Jerusalem will become Arab and Muslim again, including all the places holy to Islam and Christianity.”
“We and the Zionists have been brought together by destiny. If they want a fight, we’ll be there; if they want a war we’re ready; if they want a conflict we’ll be there however long it takes."
“We have more determination that Israel…We’ll defeat it, with the help of Allah, and we’ll liberate the land.”
He is willing to scrifice every one of his people to fight Israel. But he also has his threats mixed up. He implies Israel is the aggressor, yet Israel has only responded to the aggression shown by the Palestinian terrorists. Not one Israeli has walked into a Palestinian market or restaurant and blown themselves up. Not one Israeli missle has been fired in offense, only defense.
And there's one more point he's missing. God has singled Israel out as his chosen people, and has a covenant with them. He will not allow them to be defeated. Hamas is not going against Israel, they are going against the God of Israel.
I believe we'll see this in our lifetime.

It's not the truth you see in a mirror, it's your personal conviction.
"In a March 4, 2006 article in the PA sponsored newspaper, Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, Editor-in-Chief Hafez Barghuthi equates Western institutions with the Gestapo of HitlerÂs Third Reich."There is a new ideological Nazism which has started to dominate the West. It doesn't speak openly about its totalitarian Nazism, but carries it out in practice. I see in many minor and senior Western officials copies of Hitler. Many of the western institutions are as if they are managed by the Gestapo and the S.S. "While the Jews suppose they are safe from this Nazism which is directed towards the people of the third-world and Latinos, they are mistaken. It is not possible that the wolfish Nazi feelings will not eventually turn against them, because the neo-conservative idea is derived from the remnants of the Nazi idea. It is an Aryan supremacy doctrine with new terminology."According to Palestinian Media Watch (PMW), the frequent hatred expressed towards the United States by the PA has significant impact on public opinion amidst its constituents. A recent European poll found that 65 percent of PA Arabs "support Al-Qaeda actions in the USA and Europe." [Fafo - Norwegian-based NGO, in Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, December 23, 2005] PMW Director Itamar Marcus notes that the strong support of violent anti-American support comes in spite of hundreds of millions of dollars in annual US aid to the PA. Marcus asserts that the hatred was documented well before the US announced a freeze in funding, following JanuaryÂs sweeping victory by Hamas in the Palestinian Legislative Council."
(The FAFO website refers to Israel as "Occupied Palestinian Territory.")
In a recent action, S. Con. Res. 79 was approved by the Senate on February 1st and by the House on February 15th. This stops any US Aid to the Palestinian Authority as long as they have a position that calls for the destruction of Israel. The House vote was 418-1, and the Senate vote was unanimous. Hawaii's Representative Neil Abercrombie was the only "No" vote. I wonder why?
Anyway, like most of the folks that hate the US, they are always willing to take our money, and our aid, while trying to destroy us. It seems to me, that it's kind of like trying to blow up the Homeless Shelter that's giving you food and clothes.
Go figure.

An interesting side note, in 2003 the uber liberal Senator Dianne Feinstein of Kalifornia introduced a resolution that the US has a sovereign right to persue and prosecute any person that commits a crime IN the US, and then flees to Mexico. Wow, she must have had a conservative moment. I'm sure she went straight to church for absolution.
Getting back to my title. Have you ever known somebody that looked in the mirror, and saw something other than what was there? Like a woman that sees her reflection as overweight. It's not that they are, it's just that they have convinced themselves of it. And so, it is the same with Hamas, except they see a righteous reflection.
Go figure.

Hamas, today's Gestapo?
In the Hamas website for children, one page contains an overhead shot of a corpse, draped in a Palestinian flag, being carried on a stretcher. The webpage continues on with a list of all the "martyrs" that have died as a result of "Zionist" (Israeli) attacks.
Odd that it never mentions that the attacks were in response to Qassam missiles that were fired into Israel, or the Israeli gas station owner who was shot to death by two Palestinians, or other unprovoked attacks.
On the UN day of Solidarity with Palestine, authorities displayed a "map of Palestine," with the Palestinian flag in the upper left corner. This is actually the map of Israel.
Hamas has claimed it will destroy Israel. Sounds like genocide. I believe Hitler attempted this, and look where it got him. Hamas is expending so much energy hating and attacking Israel, it's a shame that same energy isn't being used to better the lives of these people.
In Genesis 17:7-8, God deeds the land of Canaan (modern Israel) to Abraham, and his descendants. In approx. the 1200 - 1100 BC timeframe, Israel took possession of Canaan. This was long before the Palestinians.
The Palestinian Media Watch website contains many of the Hamas anti-Israeli statements. Check it out for more disturbing info on Hamas.
The U. S. needs to stand strong with Israel.
