I was over at Ace the other day…….and the question was about how jews in America can be liberal when if flies in the face of Israel’s national security.
There were a number of jews who gave honest, insightful, and educational answers to the question.
No one was attacked, no one was disparaged. I learned an awful lot in that environment.
At Hot Air?

I have heard some nonsensical questions in my time, but I think you just won some kind of prize. MB4 on April 19, 2010 at 12:18 AM
Now would these notional candidates have long form birth certificates or not?
Your stupid red herring of a question isn’t debate. You are attempting to establish a narrative about the commenters on this site and no one is playing with you.
What if “Man Made Global Warming” isn’t real, and only a social engineering ploy to rob the United States of it’s economic engine, thus freedom and liberty of it’s citizens to boot…?
What if Obowma really wants to “change” the United States into a country of a bloated Federal Government to resemble the former great nations of Europe…?
What if you are a complete idiot, who poses hypothetical questions that show your limited intelligence for all to see…?

Neo-Con is a word that I have heard normally from leftists and always figured that if it is bad to them I must be one. I’m not really sure what a neo-con is.
I’ve heard of posting on the wrong thread, but–the wrong site?
now they are being told to go around disseminating the awsomeness of Jerry Brown
That reminds me of when California Governor Jerry Brown showed up for a date with Linda Ronstadt wearing two shoes that didn’t match. She said, “I could understand two socks that don’t match–but shoes?”

HA isn’t that authentic however how amazing Allah’s commentary is. But the razzle dazzle of Michelle combined with Allah’s square on and biting analysis take makes HA a target. At least that’s my take.
I was appalled to hear myself hollering “Moron!” at the trippy dippy hippy in traffic in front of me last week driving to work, because “moron” has become such a favorite word of the far left. And if it’s good enough for *their* name-calling efforts, it shouldn’t be good enough for me.
Equally, anyone who uses the word “neo-con” at all whatsoever any place in a post has immediately reverted solely and only to progressive liberal name-calling and doesn’t deserve any more attention or respect.
I was impressed by Mr.West’s video to the point of looking up some bio on him. You go, dude. If I wasn’t more urgently interested in unelecting Barbara Boxer here in California, I’d be mightily tempted to send him a dinero or two. What super-good candidates the Tea Parties seem to be uncovering. This is gonna be fun.

This guy gets it. I dare say he even read the Constitution he swore an oath to protect and serve. We need more like him. I can see this guy running for President in 2016.
Yeah, I remember that “assault” incident which saved his unit from an ambush. I recall most on the Left wanted him imprisoned (or worse) for that but most of America saluted him and honored him for doing what he did to save his men from an ambush.
Did David 2.0 ask a question worth answering? I mean seriously, the jew lib, neo-con herring meme is kinda old and worn out. You cannot make the assumption because it isn’t true to begin with.
If someone isn’t something, then why make an incorrect one to begin with?
Hey, what if Obama came out in favor of locking up all homeless persons on th basis that they were a menace to commerce?
Thanks, and I’ll hang up and listen David.

Jerry Brown is a sleazebag corrupt dictatorial greedy destructive vindictive 2-faced lying D-bag. He ruined the state as Gov, he ruined the city of oakland as Mayor, he ruined the AG’s office as AG and now he will ruin whatever is left of the state. Thats why his people will be astroturfing in the media about his ” b@!!$” ( haha) that he is challenging the wuss repubs to a debate. They are pre-empting the scrutiny of his record and actions. This is the same guy who couldn’t find time to investigate ACORN , but wanted to punish Hannah and O’Keefe. Now he is stoking the investigation of Sarah Palin because she has the nerve to come to his state .
Col. West was also filmed speaking at a [Klan] meeting recently
Buy Danish on April 18, 2010 at 9:55 PM
Heh I took the bait. It was well worth it
He has my vote. Amazing who this guy turns out to be. When I heard about the officer who took serious action, with full responsibility, in the war to get the enemy to talk, I told someone this is the kind of man we need more of and they are trying to squash him. Turns out the guy is unsquashable.
He is a history lover, to boot, and an America lover, which makes him the inverse of Obama, the America despiser. One wants to preserve what I consider the greatness of America (individual liberty and empowerment of the individual) and one wants to end it and replace it with an engineered society designed not by the individuals but by the oligarchs
The contrast is stunning
Now, how can I worry about my nation if we have men like West still running free and unafraid to fight?
You need to get into the Koran and understand their precepts. This is not a perversion. They are doing exactly what this book says.
Current rules of engagement are crippling and killing our soldiers.
Until you get principled leadership in the United States of America that is willing to say that, we will continue to chase our tail.
This war that we’re fighting against, we have been very narrow-minded. It goes from the Phillipines with Abu Sayyaf, it goes into Southeast Asia, it goes into the Middle East, it goes into Europe, it comes right here to Broward County where five or six of the 9/11 terrorists infiltrated and attacked.
These are all very clear “tells” that West is no neocon. He is the anti-neocon.
“Chase our tail” and “very narrow-minded”, IMO, make it clear that West thinks we are too invested in Iraq and Afghanistan and that he thinks they are merely two trees in a forest and probably not the most important ones at that.
This guy gets it. I dare say he even read the Constitution he swore an oath to protect and serve. We need more like him. I can see this guy running for President in 2016.

Normally I would say he is too much of an unknown still but considering I (and most of the nation for that matter ) was hardly familiar with the name Obama until a couple years ago then I guess anything is possible.
Hmm. If you chose the right venue (post), maybe you’d get more takers. Trying to do the anti-Semite shtick here, with a “Do you still beat your wife” kind of question, followed by taunts at those who refuse to bite, does not augur well for your continued presence at this site.
Now, I’m supposedly the local anti-Semite because I do not support Israel’s position with respect to East Jerusalem. That topic was last debated here . Your accusations against my fellow commenters is totally without basis, as you’ll see by reading the post I link. I’m the only one arguing against unflinching support of Israel. Everyone else is taking the opposite tack, so if you are accusing this site of harboring anti-Semites (or what you erroneously call “neo-cons”), the only one you can possibly accuse of that stain is me. So go ahead and do it — we can butt heads the next time an Obama vs. Bibi post comes up.
he ruined the AG’s office as AG and now he will ruin whatever is left of the state.
He’s doing an inquisition on that foundation which hired Palin to speak. In my mind, that’s Brown using his elective office as a cats-paw for the Democrats.
Any thoughts I had that the guy had principle totally evaporated when he did that. He’s a political hack of the worst sort, and needs to be voted out of elective office.

This country cannot wait until 2016 for this man to run for POTUS/CIC… IMO. I am working now along others who want him to run in 2012, and if he did and I think he will, I would put my entire life on hold to work to see he gets in office as he is the most impressive person that I have ever witnessed run for public office.

He is only the 2nd candidate in my lifetime, I would volunteer to travel and work for his election.
Men like him come along a couple times a century, Florida, don’t mess it up!
I gotta say it, “I love Allen West.”
Debate is shut down. Names are called. Aspersions are made. The question is NEVER answered.
Hot Air=Neo-Con central. Debate NOT welcome.
David2.0 on April 19, 2010 at 12:24 AM
Are you aware that the Left has used the term “Neo Con” as a slur denoting “Jew?”
Apparently not.
Neo Conservatives, like myself, are for a strong American defense and military posture, based on American exceptionalism and pro-Israel, for similar reasons.
And HA is not even close to being “Neo-Con central,” although I’ll state again that, like a lot of others, you have a complete misunderstanding of the term “Neo-Conservative.”
Reporter: Would you militarily support Israel in the event Israel attacked Iranian nukes?
Colonel West: Absolutely I would. It’s very important that we send a message to those who would seek to destroy us. And understand this: This war that we’re fighting against, we have been very narrow-minded. It goes from the Phillipines with Abu Sayyaf, it goes into Southeast Asia, it goes into the Middle East, it goes into Europe, it comes right here to Broward County where five or six of the 9/11 terrorists infiltrated and attacked, eventually, the World Trade Towers. We have to tell anyone that threatens Western civilization, democratic ideals, rule of law, individual rights and freedoms, that we will not tolerate that. So yes, I would stand hand in hand with my Israeli brothers and sisters to let them know we will not abandon them, and in my lifetime, Never Again.
he talks about insults and names yet last time we talked i recall him not only being anti-semitic towards me he also called me a homosexual…now if david isn’t the pot calling the kettle black i’m not sure who/what is?
Some do, but for most support of Israel would interfere with their Islamic Nation Building.
MB4 on April 19, 2010 at 1:14 AM
Well now wait a minute..I thought most neo cons were supposed to be jews. And I never got the impression from West that he wanted to pull out of the Islamic world and leave it to Iran and their ilk.
I am jealous, so damn jealous, I wish I had someone like him to vote for, makes me cry to see the dross that I have as a so called choice. My prayers go with you Mr West and while I watch Europe sink deeper in the mire, I am sure that with men like him the USA will be safe.
Again, I pose a legitimate question and the Neo-Cons at Hot Air commence with the insults and lies.
Never answer the question though. :-0
David2.0 on April 19, 2010 at 12:20 AM
Hey David, don’t get your panties in a knot. I’ll answer your question:
Here’s a question:
If West came out against Israel……and his opponent is a liberal jew…..
Who would the neo-cons at Hot Air endorse?
David2.0 on April 19, 2010 at 12:07 AM
Given the narrow framework of your question, and forgiving the juvenile suppositions, I would answer that I would still support West.
Now go back to your mommy because she wants to give you a great big hug.

I may have missed something but in this thread, it seemed that you were the one that started the name calling. Even your original post, once you include your rather insulting definition of neo-con, was nothing but an insult of all the commenters here.
Just because a question is asked, doesn’t mean it is thoughtful or worth answering.
I live in Florida 22 and donated to his campaign in 2008 as well as now. He is a true patriot. We will be beating the streets for him here and he will need a ton of cash to beat Ron Klein who is a real scumbag.

The boss emeritus sold this site a couple of months ago. And Michelle is not a neo-con. She’s a real conservative. If you want your comments to be taken seriously, try not to be so juvenile and uninformed.
When he quoted Gladiator, that was it. I was sold. The rest was amazingly inspiring and important, but that was the moment. I will definitely be monetarily supporting his campaign. Go West!

While I am not Polish, my wife is 1st generation American of Polish descent and my daughter is half Polish. Poles may be a joke to some, but they know what it means to be trampled on by Nazis and communists and they know what freedom is worth. They also know that Obama doesn’t give a crap about their freedom and wouldn’t mind if Putin forced them back into a new Soviet empire. Last time, they were decimated by the Germans and overwhelmed by the communists. This time it won’t be so easy. They will recognize a Putin puppet and I don’t think they will fall for it.

A neo-conservative is an ex-liberal who has seen at least one of the many lights of conservatism. There are many types of lights to be seen — religious, social, economic…
So what’s wrong with that?
You are a bit behind the times — this site is no longer owned by Michelle Malkin — she sold it a while back. I don’t agree with Michelle on a lot of things, but I’ve never been stifled in my conversations about her viewpoints; the people who’ve gotten banned here have gone way past that to personal attacks of the sort you just did.
And thank you for having given us permission to enjoy our tyranny. Now please go away until you can provide something more of substance than mere unbuttressed “rage at the system”.
I’ve noticed that the phrase neo-con, 90% of the time, is used to insult people who are pro-Israel. To be fair, I’m not sure who uses it more…liberals or anti-semitic paleocons like Ron Paul and Lew Rockwell.
I don’t Allen West but I was able to read the badges he was wearing and the Purple heart which lead me to think he has at least served us honorably unlike some folks I could name. Also, I live in Oregon and don’t get much information on the man but I did notice that he was speaking without aid of notes or teleprompter and said nothing stupid, erroneous or self serving. Seems like a keeper.
Make no mistake, I recognize this guy is a rising star and I hope we have yet to see him reach his highest point but I’m just trying to be realistic about his chances. This nation needs real leaders like him, not more professional politicians (there’s a BIG difference). Let’s help him win a regional election first in Florida and then try to “draft” him for the national stage.
Remember, we conservatives have to win and win big in 2010 or there might not be much of a nation left to save from the Statists in 2012. I’m not saying we shouldn’t think long term but we have to win one election at a time.

What impresses me is he’s not afraid to use words like “tyranny” and “slavery.” That says something right there.
Jim-Rose on April 19, 2010 at 1:19 AM
This guy gets it. I dare say he even read the Constitution he swore an oath to protect and serve. We need more like him. I can see this guy running for President in 2016.

Seven Percent Solution on April 19, 2010 at 1:26 AM
Yeah, I remember that “assault” incident which saved his unit from an ambush. I recall most on the Left wanted him imprisoned (or worse) for that but most of America saluted him and honored him for doing what he did to save his men from an ambush.
*salutes*
Yakko77 on April 19, 2010 at 1:27 AM
Did David 2.0 ask a question worth answering? I mean seriously, the jew lib, neo-con herring meme is kinda old and worn out. You cannot make the assumption because it isn’t true to begin with.
If someone isn’t something, then why make an incorrect one to begin with?
Hey, what if Obama came out in favor of locking up all homeless persons on th basis that they were a menace to commerce?
Thanks, and I’ll hang up and listen David.
JP1986UM on April 19, 2010 at 1:31 AM
Jerry Brown is a sleazebag corrupt dictatorial greedy destructive vindictive 2-faced lying D-bag. He ruined the state as Gov, he ruined the city of oakland as Mayor, he ruined the AG’s office as AG and now he will ruin whatever is left of the state. Thats why his people will be astroturfing in the media about his ” b@!!$” ( haha) that he is challenging the wuss repubs to a debate. They are pre-empting the scrutiny of his record and actions. This is the same guy who couldn’t find time to investigate ACORN , but wanted to punish Hannah and O’Keefe. Now he is stoking the investigation of Sarah Palin because she has the nerve to come to his state .
macncheez on April 19, 2010 at 1:31 AM
Heh I took the bait. It was well worth it
He has my vote. Amazing who this guy turns out to be. When I heard about the officer who took serious action, with full responsibility, in the war to get the enemy to talk, I told someone this is the kind of man we need more of and they are trying to squash him. Turns out the guy is unsquashable.
He is a history lover, to boot, and an America lover, which makes him the inverse of Obama, the America despiser. One wants to preserve what I consider the greatness of America (individual liberty and empowerment of the individual) and one wants to end it and replace it with an engineered society designed not by the individuals but by the oligarchs
The contrast is stunning
Now, how can I worry about my nation if we have men like West still running free and unafraid to fight?
entagor on April 19, 2010 at 1:31 AM
Excepts from West:
You need to get into the Koran and understand their precepts. This is not a perversion. They are doing exactly what this book says.
Current rules of engagement are crippling and killing our soldiers.
Until you get principled leadership in the United States of America that is willing to say that, we will continue to chase our tail.
This war that we’re fighting against, we have been very narrow-minded. It goes from the Phillipines with Abu Sayyaf, it goes into Southeast Asia, it goes into the Middle East, it goes into Europe, it comes right here to Broward County where five or six of the 9/11 terrorists infiltrated and attacked.
These are all very clear “tells” that West is no neocon. He is the anti-neocon.
“Chase our tail” and “very narrow-minded”, IMO, make it clear that West thinks we are too invested in Iraq and Afghanistan and that he thinks they are merely two trees in a forest and probably not the most important ones at that.
MB4 on April 19, 2010 at 1:31 AM
I’m hoping for 2012.
MB4 on April 19, 2010 at 1:34 AM
Hey David 2.0, what if Allen West was a commie robot with laser beam feet and a flaming skull and rockets shooting out of his @ss?!1/1!>!??!!?
Your question was dishonest and incendiary, and you are dismissed.
Good Solid B-Plus on April 19, 2010 at 1:38 AM
Normally I would say he is too much of an unknown still but considering I (and most of the nation for that matter ) was hardly familiar with the name Obama until a couple years ago then I guess anything is possible.
Yakko77 on April 19, 2010 at 1:55 AM
Hmm. If you chose the right venue (post), maybe you’d get more takers. Trying to do the anti-Semite shtick here, with a “Do you still beat your wife” kind of question, followed by taunts at those who refuse to bite, does not augur well for your continued presence at this site.
Now, I’m supposedly the local anti-Semite because I do not support Israel’s position with respect to East Jerusalem. That topic was last debated here . Your accusations against my fellow commenters is totally without basis, as you’ll see by reading the post I link. I’m the only one arguing against unflinching support of Israel. Everyone else is taking the opposite tack, so if you are accusing this site of harboring anti-Semites (or what you erroneously call “neo-cons”), the only one you can possibly accuse of that stain is me. So go ahead and do it — we can butt heads the next time an Obama vs. Bibi post comes up.
Chihauhua. I love it.
unclesmrgol on April 19, 2010 at 1:58 AM
He’s doing an inquisition on that foundation which hired Palin to speak. In my mind, that’s Brown using his elective office as a cats-paw for the Democrats.
Any thoughts I had that the guy had principle totally evaporated when he did that. He’s a political hack of the worst sort, and needs to be voted out of elective office.
unclesmrgol on April 19, 2010 at 2:04 AM
I have been “following” West for some time now.
MB4 on April 19, 2010 at 2:06 AM
This country cannot wait until 2016 for this man to run for POTUS/CIC… IMO. I am working now along others who want him to run in 2012, and if he did and I think he will, I would put my entire life on hold to work to see he gets in office as he is the most impressive person that I have ever witnessed run for public office.
West/We The People (with fixed bayonets)
HOLD THE LINE 2012
Watching_Cloward-Piven on April 19, 2010 at 2:16 AM

Jerry Brown is not the garden variety corrupt democrat, he is the dangerous kind and kool-aid takes a whole new meaning with his history

We need this man!
The US Congress needs this man!
He is only the 2nd candidate in my lifetime, I would volunteer to travel and work for his election.
Men like him come along a couple times a century, Florida, don’t mess it up!
I gotta say it, “I love Allen West.”
lonestar1 on April 19, 2010 at 2:36 AM
Are you aware that the Left has used the term “Neo Con” as a slur denoting “Jew?”
Apparently not.
Neo Conservatives, like myself, are for a strong American defense and military posture, based on American exceptionalism and pro-Israel, for similar reasons.
And HA is not even close to being “Neo-Con central,” although I’ll state again that, like a lot of others, you have a complete misunderstanding of the term “Neo-Conservative.”

DSchoen on April 19, 2010 at 4:53 AM
What if mice carried guns?
Cats wouldn’t flock with them.
You question is not a legitimate question due to the fact that no such scenario exist.
There are no “facts”
Basically it comes down to you can have your own opinion but ya can’t have your own facts.
Having a debate on “no facts” is stupid.
Never answer the question though. :
Why can’t we get top of the pack trolls on HA?
Why do we only get the stupid trolls like David?
See the difference?
My questions are based in fact, based on something that actually does exist.

In other words you really don’t have an argument.
CWforFreedom on April 19, 2010 at 6:39 AM
Well now wait a minute..I thought most neo cons were supposed to be jews. And I never got the impression from West that he wanted to pull out of the Islamic world and leave it to Iran and their ilk.
Terrye on April 19, 2010 at 6:55 AM
I am jealous, so damn jealous, I wish I had someone like him to vote for, makes me cry to see the dross that I have as a so called choice. My prayers go with you Mr West and while I watch Europe sink deeper in the mire, I am sure that with men like him the USA will be safe.

Here’s a question:
If West came out against Israel……and his opponent is a liberal jew…..
Who would the neo-cons at Hot Air endorse?
David2.0 on April 19, 2010 at 12:07 AM
CarolynM on April 19, 2010 at 7:34 AM
I may have missed something but in this thread, it seemed that you were the one that started the name calling. Even your original post, once you include your rather insulting definition of neo-con, was nothing but an insult of all the commenters here.
Just because a question is asked, doesn’t mean it is thoughtful or worth answering.
OBQuiet on April 19, 2010 at 7:41 AM
Quite often the trolls here don’t ask anything thoughtful. They do their probing to see what sort of rise they can get out of people.

I live in Florida 22 and donated to his campaign in 2008 as well as now. He is a true patriot. We will be beating the streets for him here and he will need a ton of cash to beat Ron Klein who is a real scumbag.

I had to watch that again, it was so awesome!
scalleywag on April 19, 2010 at 8:47 AM
The boss emeritus sold this site a couple of months ago. And Michelle is not a neo-con. She’s a real conservative. If you want your comments to be taken seriously, try not to be so juvenile and uninformed.
BottomLine5 on April 19, 2010 at 9:00 AM
You do know Michelle has nothing to do with HotAir.com anymore right?
You keep using that word, neo-con, and I don’t think you know what it means.

MechEng5by5 on April 19, 2010 at 9:25 AM
When he quoted Gladiator, that was it. I was sold. The rest was amazingly inspiring and important, but that was the moment. I will definitely be monetarily supporting his campaign. Go West!
perries on April 19, 2010 at 9:40 AM
While I am not Polish, my wife is 1st generation American of Polish descent and my daughter is half Polish. Poles may be a joke to some, but they know what it means to be trampled on by Nazis and communists and they know what freedom is worth. They also know that Obama doesn’t give a crap about their freedom and wouldn’t mind if Putin forced them back into a new Soviet empire. Last time, they were decimated by the Germans and overwhelmed by the communists. This time it won’t be so easy. They will recognize a Putin puppet and I don’t think they will fall for it.
SKYFOX on April 19, 2010 at 9:47 AM
Sorry, to have to correct you, but Neo-Cons are real Conservatives.
Just so you know.

R Square on April 19, 2010 at 10:19 AM
A neo-conservative is an ex-liberal who has seen at least one of the many lights of conservatism. There are many types of lights to be seen — religious, social, economic…
So what’s wrong with that?
You are a bit behind the times — this site is no longer owned by Michelle Malkin — she sold it a while back. I don’t agree with Michelle on a lot of things, but I’ve never been stifled in my conversations about her viewpoints; the people who’ve gotten banned here have gone way past that to personal attacks of the sort you just did.
And thank you for having given us permission to enjoy our tyranny. Now please go away until you can provide something more of substance than mere unbuttressed “rage at the system”.
By the way, are you a David2.0 sockpuppet?
unclesmrgol on April 19, 2010 at 10:39 AM
I’ve noticed that the phrase neo-con, 90% of the time, is used to insult people who are pro-Israel. To be fair, I’m not sure who uses it more…liberals or anti-semitic paleocons like Ron Paul and Lew Rockwell.
I guess I’m a proud neo-con.
MadisonConservative on April 19, 2010 at 10:48 AM
I don’t Allen West but I was able to read the badges he was wearing and the Purple heart which lead me to think he has at least served us honorably unlike some folks I could name. Also, I live in Oregon and don’t get much information on the man but I did notice that he was speaking without aid of notes or teleprompter and said nothing stupid, erroneous or self serving. Seems like a keeper.
LarryG on April 19, 2010 at 11:06 AM
I meant to say I don’t “know”…..
LarryG on April 19, 2010 at 11:07 AM
Make no mistake, I recognize this guy is a rising star and I hope we have yet to see him reach his highest point but I’m just trying to be realistic about his chances. This nation needs real leaders like him, not more professional politicians (there’s a BIG difference). Let’s help him win a regional election first in Florida and then try to “draft” him for the national stage.
Remember, we conservatives have to win and win big in 2010 or there might not be much of a nation left to save from the Statists in 2012. I’m not saying we shouldn’t think long term but we have to win one election at a time.
Yakko77 on April 19, 2010 at 11:14 AM
I think we know how Allen West would feel about water boarding….so he has my support.
R Square on April 19, 2010 at 11:24 AM
