I said I wouldn't post any new subjects, and I'm not, just making an addendum to the last few expressions of mine.
 
Per the first Presidential debate, it stood out that essentially Obama would treat Muslim aggressors without pre-conditions at any time for as long as it takes to stop terror worldwide from occurring even against other Muslims; McCain essentially conveyed no opinion on Islamic leadership but represented a strong fist will crush ANY nation striking out at the USA. Perhaps both campaigns forgot Doudou Diene and the UN anti-Islam defamation proposal, perhaps they didn't.
 
Now, a number of Muslim leaders, apologies to Monsiuer Diene, installed or inherited Islam as a STATE religion further with mandamus from such leaders...elected or otherwise...that THEY and successors are supreme in their lands...atheism, plurality, and such are death sentences, and like an old Soviet Kommissar asking "who (chik-chik) DOESN'T want to be in Communist Party, Comrades?", Muslims in such lands have no say or choice...indeed, who opinion-polls THEM in those lands on anything? And that most Muslims aren't fans of that theocracy is evident from how many "tunnel out" to Europe and elsewhere, ala Latin Americans tunnelling to El Norte to escape dictators and bad economic managers.
 
Western leaders for the most part either encourage or passively tolerate that because "a Muslim leader" of such State has wrapped his age-old secular power trip in the cloak of religion, all signs of Christianity...even Stoic good works...must be obliterated so as not to nationalistically, racially, or otherwise "offend the leader of ALL Muslims"...oddly enough, yes, even when say Muslim Bashir, an African, uses Islamic Janjaweed to kill in Darfur or the Taliban or whoever elsewhere; look how everyone bowed to Mushareff on such grounds, Pakistan created by partition out of India about sixty years ago and a STATE Muslim nation...yep, EVERY Pakisatani LOVED him and a number of his predecessors, and he probably stepped down recently due to old age. And to think, like MyMood Alibabajihad in Iran, he used Islam to claim Hindu-popular India was racist to Pakistanis and should...um...give him money and power to use as sees fit as a respected fatwa issuer against "uppity" Muslims in his land. Yep, that's even the long-ago 1999 origin of the "anti defamation of Islam" Mushareef launched; as if Doudou Diene isn't confusing enough as to how Islam is a "race" what with Asiatic, Middle Eastern, and African peoples its largest followers.
 
So McCain sounds better re the predictable "bomb you if you hit us", but that doesn't contain much address of why Obama is full of hooey that the West won't "gain respect of everyday Muslims" unless we let Muslim Bashirs and Ladens alone to do as they please even to other Muslims, and unless we rid the USA of any need to do reasonably right things under conscience and in fact laws (so we don't look Judeo-Christian or something). Like a MyMood wrapping his power trip in religion or anything else not necessary for it, some even in the USA sound like they're merely availing of irrelevant cloaks to get to do things the same way.
 
Through no "fault" of my own, I was born into the Christian faith via Roman Catholic parents. To my readings, Christ seemed to mean that all mankind from highest through lowest must bear anything, as He did, in doing the right things according to the Ten Commandments and His teachings, no matter how else they lead lives, and do so with humility not anger; for the life of me, I confess I can find no Christian or other Divine faith ab initio teachings which separate leaders from little guys re the need to not simply impose power over others because it's easy, yet many Western neo-evangelicals and even some traditional clergy, perhaps due to over-dependence on government for funding, existence, or both, seem to embrace "let dictators dictate and be God's appointed rulers".
 
McCain seems to infer Muslims all hate us irredeemably, why bother leaders unless they whack us; Obama seems to infer even Janjaweed in Darfur will stop if he's elected, a boast made upon stilted explanation of how many State-run religions operate; McCain has the better of two thin premises on that issue, but seemed to go about it in a way not challenging Obama's perception of underlying facts re State-run faiths including Islam and dictatorships hiding amid same. Maybe that's why local Comcast cable channel 53, CLTV, reported today Daley is getting millions to build MORE houses in place of Wamu branches Chase is closing in takeover, and Daley generally expects more immigration no matter who wins what where when or state of the national economy.
 

Senator DeMint has some excellent objections re how the as-is bailout would work, especially in that it will send the rest of us off the national debt cliff. His opinion can verbatim be currently heard at http://www.jimdemint.com/blog/2008/09/debating-the-bailout-on-the-today-show/ . 

It might be nice to explain why nobody in congress, not even McCain, Durbin, or Obama, has ever seen say $700 billion in piecemeal over the years for growing agricultural, alternative fuel, protective service, arts, and every other kind of jobs in the USA; but now that some company dropped off due to so many customers not having enough to pay, paying customers dropping off, or both, all at once there's a whole $700 billion chunk for the Big Boy...which seems to undercut potential for ANY change or other things promised by ANYBODY.

One hopes the only "CHANGE!!!!!" won't be from super-duper uber say-so powers over foreign terror suspects/agents to invidiously scowling at "anecdotal pockets of bitter multi-racial nobodies watered by the anti-Islam psychology of Western religions (except neo-evangelicals) which doesn't even respect Islam is a race, not religion for anybody".

Most campaign and PAC stuff I'm seeing keep telling me how race and gender are the primary focus of USA nationals, so all we need worry of is what people in the non-Western Hemisphere will think if a woman or a non-white doesn't obtain to White House entry; other than that, everything's fine, just fine...so let's go tell everybody not in our Hemisphere that they're going to have mucho money and trade upon Obama's election, except for a bunch of racists/self-haters/nationalist homophobes who'll need down-putting as other Hemisphere's populations next mass-immigrate to the USA...unless McCain,the guy who's gonna screw up all deals known to foreigners, at least, gets in and makes the world then "withhold cash and trade from us some more and invites their wrath for so doing". Eh, either way though, might as well ignore how education and stuff came to be so screwed up UNDER all people up for election or next election, and as always make closely-cropped, critic-crushed stagecrafts puffing up the rhetoric everybody wants to hear.
 
Maybe if all candidates had to go USA townhall ad-lib, unscreened (except for security) queries from USA nationals and world immigrants/tourists already here, more substance useful to all people could be heard, and at the same time together.
 
As it is, I find it hard to endorse ANY candidates for ANYTHING, not out of spite nor things of that nature, but because it seems every last candidate for any office relevant to me lets it ride that the "USA still 1960's industrial-military complex" myth is right, and also myth that the European Union Parliament is now an equal dynamo that will create jobs here if we let "some" of their "needfuls" in first; thus all I see is a choice...and a faux choice, at that...between the stagecraft of Obama as Savior with candy for all, and McCain who plays and IS played as if there WOULD be candy he could "crucify like a Pilate".
 
I look forward to any, if any, Fall debates for any specific, blunt namings of WHAT candidates things is wrong, and bluntly HOW they'll fix it (certainly, it seems nowadays we choose between campaigns needing no genesis of ideation from the vox populi anymore, just appearance of their vote thereon re what's chosen for them). In the meantime, if anybody thinks I've been askew with my impressions re the European Union Parliament, especially its Article 13 which sweeps members' nationals aside as politically expedient, and that my being "askew" extends to Bible teachings/texts in the EU, well...then let's hear my critics' recitals of what they believe relevant Article 13 text to be, and how THEY think EUP and member nations apply pressures under it; otherwise, I'll keep thinking all anybody in elected office or candidacy thereof is offering is a choice only between who WILL lead the USA into an exact legal clone of the European Union Parliament no matter what "convincers" it takes, while keying ANY questions or better USA Constitutional ideas thereon "terror-support sounding" or "slammable with made-up offenses later dismissed" or otherwise "convincing" everybody it's all very good for us.
 
Oh, and just by bringing in more boatloads of whoever en masse, without money supply increase or up-front foreign investment as usual, where will all the money be soon for all the feel-good things like medicine, jobs, healthcare, housing, education, et al, we're told are coming unless "mean Mr. McCain" interferes?
 

Whenever I hear someone say something like "Obama actually thinks a Muslim evening call to prayer is the best sound in the world", or "Bible under attack by Islam!", "China making different Bible texts, oppressing Christianity!" or the like, I ask God to forgive the writers, speakers, and any affronted observers of such comments...media and political intermeddlers DO thrive off controversies, and don't always let truth be a barrier to ANYTHING...while main political contests devolve to little more than two monkeys throwing you-know-what at each other and implying the most coated must lose. 
 
The fact is, all politicians know that Muslims are the Hispanics of Europe, and that while Islam is Abrahamic like Judaism and Christianity, not that much time is spent by Muslims studying the New Testament...which is not to imply Muslims on the main do so because they "hate" it or its followers. Obama is just more forward in playing to an impression of the Bible and its ways of interpretation as, say, the European Union Parliament and its member nation governments ALLOW it to be printed and disseminated.
 
That China merely prints the books and related texts, or has in the recent past, is of no moment, as it would seem ANYONE printing them would have to adhere to the European rigors.
 
Now, if Muslims abroad or anyone anywhere thusly arrive at this impression in nature of somehow Jesus Christ was this seer guy-dude who was Che Guevara, Karl Marx, Caesar Chavez, and Martin Luther King all rolled into one, leading organized labor and political committees on behalf of everyone and everyone was healed by His totalist Socialist/communist mere human efforts, while such a view or similar is certainly untraditional and otherwise unknown for 2,000 or so years, that is NOT the fault of China, and NOT the fault of any Muslims or anyone else reading such "REALLY New Testament".
 
One hopes more will come of public interest than the aforesaid monkey-vs-monkey scenario. An essential part of that would seem to be to acknowledge that what we have going in the USA hasn't worked for most nationals, nor most non-Muslim immigrants over the last even CLINTON years forward, nor will it work...unchanged...for Europe's Muslims or anyone else not of this Hemisphere and not yet experienced in current USA culture; one hopes more will come forth in the true spirit of peaceful Abrahamic and other faiths as would regard conscience and service to God and others, than just "figgerin'" Muslims from European Union backlogs will just be the "next" to flow through the same things so many of the rest of us have without much result except to lose more communication and civil liberty capabilities...no, most Muslims and most of earth's diverse peoples are NOT terrorists or killers, and "figgerin'" that you might not deliver what you otherwise imply, so you need iron hamfists to "make it look good for security without military and stuff, see?", is so cheesy words fail.
 
And it's ludicrous to imply USA nationals must "hate" or "fear" Muslims Europe might start sending us (what would Danny Thomas, famous Lebanese USA celebrity, e.g., say?), just so we "avoid suspicion of being Qaeda-cruited if'n those hotbloods don't like what they wind up with".
 
Let's not "defeat" bad foreign economic and civil rights leaders through playing along and shell-gaming; and I hope everyone on earth gets a chance to read Christian Scriptures as they were truly recorded in Christ's time, or in manifestly exactly those words in one's own language, so they can see Christ neither advocates terrorism, revolution, crime, or any particular relief from legal responsibility or preparation for any kingdom other than God's as one enters at physical death...entry keyed to by how one lived on earth, regardless of status or other demographics.
 
Sidebar re charity issues: I said last month the city of Waukegan, Illinois joined with many others this year to make even Church and Fire Dept. "Fill The Boot" campaigns for charity against the law as panhandling; it appears that Waukegan has issued a permit for its firemen to collect for the Jerry Lewis MDA effort THIS weekend. I saw them out and donated myself this morning. To those readers who pass by the intersection of Grand and Green Bay this weekend, please be as generous to those firefighters as is within your means...they embody the kind of government/private party efforts to help those truly in need, and may God watch over and protect those people as they work for social charity.
