The Lefty’s comeback essentially was it’s okay to meddle in the affairs of allies but not enemies. That’s quintessentially Lefty logic in a nutshell.

Yep. The worst thing to be, today, is an ally of America. It is the kiss of death, literally.

Just another manifestation of the Democrat Disease: the tendency to give your enemies anything they want while treating your allies with contempt. It makes no sense, but it’s been standard Democratic foreign policy since McGovern.

For all JFK’s faults as a president, he would have never understood this kind of thinking.

BTW, all of you who were encouraged to see Hillary nominated for Secretary of State: are you ready to concede yet that she has nothing to offer?

You can’t fix stupid.

Does anyone think that Hillary would have made a better president? I didn’t think so.

When she accepted the position, she proved that she was willing to sacrifice her “supposed” positions and subjugate them to the “community organizer” (her words). Proves she stands for nothing but her personal image. Don’t think she could carry Sarah’s water. At least Sarah stands for something.

“The United States will not support the use of any additional land for the purpose of settlements during the transition period. Indeed, the immediate adoption of a settlement freeze by Israel, more than any other action, could create the confidence needed for wider participation in these talks. Further settlement activity is in no way necessary for the security of Israel and only diminishes the confidence of the Arabs and a final outcome can be freely and fairly negotiated.

“I want to make the American position clearly understood: the purpose of this transition period is the peaceful and orderly transfer of domestic authority from Israel to the Palestinian inhabitants of the West Bank and Gaza.”

You can read Reagan’s complete statement at http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Peace/reaganplan.html

Fact is, every president since at least Nixon opposed the Israeli settlements.

I have felt that every president since Johnson has been too weak in their support of Israel. But I agree with all of them regarding the settlements.

Israel better realize that their “American Allies” aren’t the Democrats, and not the American Jews, it’s the Republican Evangelical Christians.

From what I’ve ever read, they understand this completely, and to confuse American secular jews with most Israelis is a mistake. I think most secular Am. jews made their split with Israel about the same time as they stopped their religious beliefs in favor of liberalism.

The settlements have never been an obstacle to peace…the Jews still living and breathing are the real obstacle. The Arabs have demanded this to their constituencies from day one to June 18, 2009.

Why does the left hate Jews so? (rhetorical)

even if you agree with everything bambi does, would you still think he has the grit to be king of the world? me thinks not.

Let’s bring the paranoia to its full conclusion and back an Israel that is many times the kingdom of David?

I’m all for it. Go Israel!!!

Oh he read the Bible. With Rev. Wright. Rev. Wright probably taught that the Africans are God’s chosen people and the zionists all keep them down.
Kind of like when Nazis read the Bible and found that Moses, Abraham, Jesus, Paul, etc were all nice blond Aryans.

I see your point .

My thoughts exactly. Which makes you wonder if he has read the Bible?

the lint in my belly button would be a better President than Obama.

Any of the three candidates would be a bust.

But only the idiot messiah really hated the US enough to push through all this anti-AMerican legistlation and excutive orders, while hiding behind his skin and the whole affirmative action shield that the press has built into a nearly impenetrable wall.

Neither Shrillary nor McCain could have pushed through such moronic legislation, as the Porkulus, gloating that it had to be signed without reading. Only the idiot messiah was able to do insane things like that and only because he represents the ultimate in affirmative action.

progressoverpeace on June 18, 2009 at 12:24 PM

Tru dat, but I think the creep of socialism and amnesty for illegals would have been on the agenda…which would be about as bad as pulling our pants down in front of our enemies!
…..And, Mccain also wanted Gitmo closed.

Is it true that Hillary tripped and cracked her elbow?

My mom used to say if I misbehaved and was not caught, God would finish the job.

Looks like Hillary was caught.

HornetSting on June 18, 2009 at 12:18 PM
Most appropriate.

Thank you for that! I’ll have to tell my mother!

Smart Power!

Many people have not returned for more dinners.

yes.

progressoverpeace on June 18, 2009 at 12:30 PM

They have made their bed …

said nearly these exact same words after each and every one of my Jewish family members voted for Obama. This is a very personal issue.

JiangxiDad on June 18, 2009 at 12:25 PM

I hear you. My family is unusual in our hard right orientation, but I have told every Jew who supported the idiot messiah what a despicable traitor (to America and Israel) I considered them to be. And I have referenced the wicked son very often in my conversations with them. Many a Shabbat dinner has featured that son in my talks with supporters of The Precedent. Many people have not returned for more dinners.
