Nobel Peace Prize winner President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will be hosting Israeli Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas for dinner the night before peace negotiations are to resume on September 2 in Washington. In Middle Eastern countries, I’ve been told it is a great insult to show the soles of the shoes so why on June 9, 2009 while Obama was speaking to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the telephone from the Oval Office in the White House, was he sitting in his chair with both feet on his desk about level with his head and right in the lens of the camera? This was televised and care was taken to make sure it was seen in Israel. Was it simply coincidental or another planned snub of the prime minister? We all remember the Muslim shoe-throwing incident at President George W. Bush shown over and over again on television. When Mexico’s president Philipe Calderon came to Washington, D.C. the week of May 20, 2010, the Obamas put on a big banquet for him but when the Israeli prime minister came to Washington a short time earlier, President Obama wouldn’t even meet with him. So why all of a sudden this upcoming meeting on September 2nd?

Where have we heard this before? How many remember with the world looking on in amazement on Sept. 13, 1993 when Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) chief Yasser Arafat joined hands on the White House lawn with President Clinton looking on for another Mideast peace photo op? Then we had the July 25, 2000 “peace charadeâ€

John F. Kennedy in his celebratory book A Nation of Immigrants wrote that in the 350-year history of the United States from Jamestown to Eisenhower, 42 million people had migrated to America, almost all from Europe. By 1958, almost all had been assimilated. Today’s mostly third-world immigrants is a tsunami of people unwilling to abide by our traditional values embraced by the Europeans who eagerly came through Ellis Island, submitted to health exams to make sure they were free of disease and who had a trade so they could support themselves. The civil rights movement of the 1960s changed the laws and behavior but not necessarily attitudes.

Yes, Ted Kennedy's actions..in 1965 were the beginning of America's end. Khrushchev, Cloward and Piven must be proud of the accomplishments of their useful idiot...Teddy.
