THIS WEEK'S BOLDFACED-LIAR WRAP-UP We've had a quite a week here. Just one idiot after another on the news. The only thing that bothered me was the MSM making the Ahmadinejad debacle into a Jewish issue - even at the UN rally. Come on people, he wants everyone who's not an ISLAMOFASCIST blown into oblivion - not just the Jews! My favorite blogger, Kathy Krajco wrapped it up perfectly - and I will let her speak for herself: Everyone needs a little respect. by Kathy Krajco Believe it or not, my last two posts ...point up the dilemma. There is real danger in giving these boldfaced liars a pass. For some strange reason, it is viewed as wrong to treat them as having the credibility they have = 0. Not nice, eh? Well then, what is so nice about what THEY do? - narcissists and clowns like Ahmadman ? They mock us with such insults to our intelligence and we must respond by being nice and careful not to offend the offensive jerks? Give me a break. With such whoppers liars l

BLOGGERS AGAINST ABUSE Today I join 1,000s of bloggers around the world in BlogCatalog's Blogging for a Great Cause Challenge. Here's my post for this cause: FEELINGS I address the victims of narcissistic abusers here. But this can warn their friends about how hurtful the stock responses to their pain are. If you are the friend of an abused person, don't make it worse. If you can't say what comes naturally and honestly, it would be better to say nothing at all than to say what sounds right because it's politically correct. "He who angers you controls you." Baloney. That popular adage does not pass a basic nonsense check. Look, it says that if we want to be good boys and girls we must numb ourselves so that nobody can make us feel anything. Look again, it is exactly anti-logical, blaming the victim. It pathologizes you, the victim of the narcissist, instead of the narcissist. Stuff like this is my pet peeve. Where on earth does it come from? Once you start

MY OXFORD DICTIONARY IS IN FLAMES! I got my B.A. in English Literature. Yeah, I know - really useful. (It's ok - I picked up a B.F.A. and an M.F.A. and a paralegal degree - also really useful ;) so misuse of English is like nails on a blackboard to me. I know I probably mess up and misspell stuff on this blog but I tend to be a stickler for spelling & syntax on the most part. But this? This is just... WRONG! "Childrens do learn," Bush tells school kids Offering a grammar lesson guaranteed to make any English teacher cringe, President George W. Bush told a group of New York school kids on Wednesday: "Childrens do learn." Bush made his latest grammatical slip-up at a made-for-TV event where he urged Congress to reauthorize the No Child Left Behind Act, the centerpiece of his education policy, as he touted a new national report card on improved test scores. The event drew New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Education Secretary Margaret Spellings plus teac

SPEED COURSE IN DESPOTIC STUPIDITY Does Ahmadinejad really think we are this STUPID? Or maybe he's getting ready for a gig at The Comic Strip or Caroline's? We have had a former actor as president here in the U.S.A. Maybe he's getting ready for his next job as a comic? Unfortunately he's got dead homosexuals (that never existed - LOL), beaten & maimed women (Wow, what FREEDOM!), a trail of support to Hezbollah and other terrorist groups and his own history of kidnapping and torturing people to prove that he's no joke. This cowardly little puke indulged in 40 minutes of pure sociopathic SCHIZOPHASIA which fooled no one but himself. Spare us all and don't have this filth back in this country again. EVER. A LESSON IN ABSURDITY That was some show Iranian despot Mahmoud Ahmadinejad put on yes terday at Columbia University. We're not sure how students who heard him gained academically - but at least they were entertained. Ahmadinejad, on the other hand,

AN OPEN-MINDED DICTATOR NOT! I always am so pleased when someone does something so blatantly obvious that shows you exactly WHO & WHAT THEY ARE. Ahmadin-ASS has done just that. Proved he's a lying sociopath with an abusive mentality. How did he do this? Just surf through some websites on Verbal Abuse and Domestic Violence. Look for things Abusers say to their victims. You can go to my other site and do this too. What to look for? These classic ABUSER comments when faced with the truth about their abuse: JUST GET OVER IT! MOVE ON! I DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER THAT! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO QUESTION ME! I TOLD YOU ONCE NOW STOP ASKING! Thanks Ahmadin-ASS. You get a big black star for FANATICAL, PSYCHO PREDICTABILITY! Iran Leader Says Nuclear Issue Closed By EDITH M. LEDERER Iranian leader Mahmoud Ahmadinejad declared Tuesday that Iran's disputed nuclear program is closed as a political issue and said Tehran will ignore a U.N. Security Council demand imposed by "arrogan

COLUMBIA MAY LOSE STATE AID THANKS TO AHMADINEJAD The Jewish Blogosphere has thoroughly covered this, so I don't have much more to add. But I must disagree with my Lefty friends about Free Speech applying even to that sociopath. It's not allowed in his country and to invite him HERE and give him a platform for his hate-filled spewing... well, I have to wonder if the patriots of 1776 would have invited that syphilitic crazyman King George here to speak during the American Revolution. I doubt it. And to Columbia University (I used to live a few blocks away from Columbia and am APPALLED) - what goes around comes around. As the president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, prepared to address Columbia University Monday amid a storm of student protest, state and city lawmakers say they are considering withholding public funds from the school to protest its decision to invite the leader to campus. In an interview with The New York Sun , the speaker of the Assembly, Sheldon Silver, said l

WHITEWASHING RADICAL ISLAM by Timothy R. Furnish As of this writing I am watching C-SPAN2's "Book TV." Lawrence Wright is interviewing Raymond Ibrahim, who works in the Middle East section at the Library of Congress and just published The al-Qaeda Reader, containing translations of Usama bin Ladin's and Ayman al-Zawahiri's writings. Wright is trying, at every turn, to refute Ibrahim's analysis. For example, Ibrahim was just discussing the fact that UBL and his ilk justify their violence from the Qur'an and the Hadiths. Wright interjected "but of course every religion has violent tendencies: in Christianity you're supposed to stone homosexuals." Amazing. I've read the New Testament numerous times, and I've yet to find that passage. Wright is a noted and best-selling author and alleged "expert" on the war on terror and the Middle East--and a guest host on C-SPAN--yet he is incredibly ignorant (or simply misrepresentative) of

PEOPLE OF THE LIE Since a madman was in town, I started to re-read this. I can't recommend this book highly enough. Evil is subtle - and may be right next to you and you wouldn't know it. Review from Amazon.com "This book really scared the daylights out of me, amazed me, and also gave me terrific insight into hidden evil. From blatant wartime evil, to deeply hidden malevolency in people around you. Conscious evil, (evil parents really disturbed me...wait till you get to the story of the rifle...absolutely horrific and 100% FACT). Dr. Peck really has studied how evil hides, lies, and distorts facts to manipulate those around it. A great read. You'll be amazed at how evil manifests itself and stunned at the same time."

A Closer Look: Step Nine in a Twelve-Step Program 9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others. Step Nine Outlined This Step is about "making peace with ourselves and others. That is the purpose of amends." "TAKING OUT THE LISTS" "This Step takes us a major leap forward in establishing boundaries - the difference between us and another person, the difference between our behavior and another's. It also grounds us in what will become a new way of life: allowing other people to have their paths and issues and learning to have our own. In this Step, we learn to own our power to take responsibility for ourselves and our conduct in relationships." "A fringe benefit of this Step is that we can now feel good about our conduct in relationships and can set ourselves free from conduct we feel uncomfortable with." "If you have done your work in the other Steps, you have a list of people. I

Self-Trial The Baal Shem Tov taught that in the heavenly court there is no one who can judge you for what you have done in your life on earth. So this is what they do: They show you someone’s life -all the achievements and all the failures, all the right decisions and all the wrongdoings -and then they ask you, “So what should we do with this somebody?” And you give your verdict. Which they accept. And then they tell you that this somebody was you. Being now in heaven, you don’t recall a thing. Of course, those who tend to judge others favorably have a decided advantage. Better get in the habit now. A Daily Dose of Wisdom from the Rebbe -words and condensation by Tzvi Freeman PLEASE CLICK HERE TO JBLOG ME

TRYING TO REASON WITH THEM, VIA BLOG I've been blogging over 4 years now and only in the last 6 months are so have I been out from under a repressing relationship to feel free to talk politics, among other things. I am alway's shocked when I see how many people do read my humble blog here. My other blog has had well over 200,000 hits - which is sad that people have to be looking up information on abuse that much. That said, looks like someone is trying the new voice of the people - blogging - to reach out to Muslims. Personally I think the Islamofascists are too brainwashed to get the critical thinking and too scared of retribution to appreciate what this guy is trying to do. At State Dept., Blog Team Joins Muslim Debate By NEIL MacFARQUHAR Walid Jawad was tired of all the chatter on Middle Eastern blogs and Internet forums in praise of gory attacks carried out by the “noble resistance” in Iraq. So Mr. Jawad, one of two Arabic-speaking members of what the State Departmen

CAN'T STOP BEING WHAT HE IS: A TERRORIST! He's not even here yet and he's spewing hate: Iran President Ahmadinejad Rips U.S. ALI AKBAR DAREINI A day before flying to New York to speak directly to the American people, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad struck a confrontational tone Saturday with a parade of fighter jets and missiles and tough warnings for the United States to stay out of the Mideast. Three new domestically manufactured warplanes streaked over the capital during the parade marking the 27th anniversary of the Iraqi invasion of Iran, which sparked a 1980-88 war that killed hundreds of thousands of people. The parade also featured the Ghadr missile, which has a range of 1,120 miles, capable of reaching Israel. Some of the missile trucks were painted with the slogans "Down with the U.S." and "Down with Israel." The parade also featured unmanned aerial surveillance drones, torpedoes, and tanks. Tensions are high between Washington and Tehra

I ASK YOU ALL FOR FORGIVENESS, AND... As we pray for God to forgive us, we recite a particular prayer several times on Yom Kippur: the vidui -- the confessional prayer -- portions of which I have reproduced below (I will not be at shul tonite as I have a high fever and serious viral infection. I will be doing a modified fast and participating 'virtually') : We have trespassed. We have dealt treacherously. We have robbed. We have acted perversely. We have wrought wickedness. We have been presumptuous. We have done violence. We have counselled evil. We have scoffed. We have revolted. We have provoked. We have rebelled. We have committed iniquity. We have transgressed. We have oppressed. We have been stiff-necked. We have done wickedly. We have corrupted. We have committed abomination. We have gone astray. We have led others astray...
