Make no mistake about it .. it was absolutely intentional. My inclination is to be even more graphic about his bending over for Israel, but I passed because I'm talking to you.
Well, I appreciate that. And you know I respect you. But on this issue, I do believe you wear blinders.
Fine .. you don't think he's prowar .. I'll remember that when the body bags start coming home with his name on them.
And if they do, I will either agree or disagree with whatever action he takes, based on the merits. I won't make presumptions either way in advance. I think that's only fair. Because sometimes military action is justified; sometimes it isn't.
That's because you haven't paid as much attention to this as I have .. else you would have known that he got about the same percentage of contributions from small donors as Bush did in 2004 .. and you would have known of his relationshp with Wall Street, who were his biggest donors, and the vast sums of money that funneled to his campaign. I know, ignore it.
Big business gives prodigiously to all candidates... it's kind of an insurance policy. I don't like it. But it's fact and I'm not going to condemn only Obama for it.
If you didn't pick up on that when he rushed to support giving away a trillion dollars to Wall Street then no amount of evidence would convince you anyway.
Actually, everyone rushed to help wall street...except for a few blue dog dems and house repubs. We can talk about the reasons for that... but I think the bigger problem is there was no accountablity for the money. I think even bigger is the fact that the objections to helping working people are so much greater than helping rich bankers.
It comes as no surprise that you don't think he dumped anyone .. name the people on the left he has in his administration? .. I know, ignore that.
I think you should wait and see what he does. But I,personally, wouldn't have voted for a far left agenda.
I don't speak for all socialists or socialism throughout history anymore than you can account for what jews have done. Irrespective of your grandfather .. how were europeans to Jews? .. I know. Ignore it.
Since when do I ignore things. I respond when I see posts. I'm not always around or always up on what's been posted.
Europeans sucked to Jews. You know that. But not as bad as the socialists... at least according to Grandpa Louis the bolshevik.
No need for us to even engage about this issue frankly. I beleieve Israel has committed incredible atrocities against innocent people and children with the nod of the US .. and much of the world believes it as well, including a great many jews. I guess we''ll see if Israel can continue to exist in its present militaristic form and if the US can continue to support the welfare state of zionism. I continue to be firm in my belief that neither is true.
And I think you reserve your criticisms only for Jews and absolve terrorists of disgusting actions. No one told the pals to leave. That was THEIR choice. So, too, it was their choice to keep blowing things up instead of coming to a peaceful arrangement. Again, try reading what I posted instead of ignoring THAT.
That is stupid and beneath you.
Am I a "jew-hater?"
I think there is a double standard. Hate? Not in the slightest and I have been very careful about not addressing you on that level. You have, rushed to make that charge each and every time you are challenged on this issue. Because, of course, if someone doesn't agree that terrorists are freedom fighters has no moral compass. Right? I DO think the people who spread the "jews run the world" garbage DO have an agenda. You can either choose to believe you support the underdog or engage in reasonable discussion about a compromise that results in a two-state solution with Israel having defensible borders.
[QUOTE[Any jew who disagrees with Israel is a "self-hating" jew .. and anybody who has an opinion different than yours on Israel is a "jew-hater" .. you sure you're not a right-winger? You sure like their tactics.
One question that you continually run from and have yet to answer .. if Obama had as many Arabs in his administration as jews .. would you have a problem with that?[/QUOTE]
There are things to disagree with in terms of Israeli policy. But not nearly to the level that the far reaches of hte left and right wish. Not even close. The vilification of Israel while condoning terrorism negates any ability to discuss these issues.
Let me know when you have a resollution that leaves an intact Israel with defensible borders.
Til then, there's really nothing to discuss on the subject. No one lies down and dies because terrorists want them to. And wanting Jews to do that is not rational or reasonable.... .regardless of one's motivations. (Or what one believes those motivations are).
