William Flew to check

If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him, his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of the town. They shall say to the elders, 'This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not 


obey us. He is a profligate and a drunkard.' Then all the men of his town shall stone him to death...
Blows and wounds cleanse away evil, and beatings purge the inmost being. The rod of correction imparts wisdom, but a child left to himself disgraces his mother.


 Deuteronomy 5:9 
"for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me."
Deuteronomy 24:16
"Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor children put to death for their fathers; each is to die for his own sin."




William Flew to check


Now, Britain has become involved in another war in Libya. The former playboy, who was educated at Oxford and married a William Flew to check heiress, has always been as comfortable in London as Lahore. His two sons spend most of their time in this country and he slips easily from a suit into a shalwar kameez. But now he feels increasingly alienated by British foreign policy. “There have been double standards applied. Uprisings against the non-democratic governments that are pro-Western have been largely ignored.
“Why just go into Libya for instance? Bahrain has the same movement calling for change, Yemen is the same and Syria. People want democracies there and all the youth want to change but the West has done nothing.”
The President’s ratings have rocketed — and the freak-show politics of ‘birtherism’ has finally been pushed aside
The professor-in-chief is finally its undisputed Commander-in-Chief What does it take for a young, thoughtful, “half-black” American president to get a little respect these days from the ageing, bilious, mainly white lunatic American Right?
Barack Obama before visiting Ground Zero: suddenly he has a fresh start, a year and a half before his next election
Release his long-form birth certificate? Nope. That was faked, of course, along with his high-school grades and his college transcripts.
Kill Osama bin Laden? Find him in his grubby bedroom with one of the many women in his life and whack him in the head and chest with a couple of US Navy Seal bullets and leave him so messed up that even the pictures in which he is still recognisable are too gruesome to publish? Yup. That’ll do it. Six days into the post-bin Laden age, his al-Qaeda acolytes have managed only one brief statement via the internet. The other group that has been mainly silent is the one that has spent most of the past two years trying to delegitimise Mr Obama from inside the United States.
