The King is dead. Long live the King.

Knew you would have some totally unrelated Israel/Palestinian spin before I even clicked on the thread. So predictable and pathetic.

Why don't you just come out with it and accuse this board of being what you are implying that it is.

After all, that is why you're here, isn't it?

No fair, man. Everyone on this planet with a functioning mind has their own spin on any given issue, and yes, that includes you. Your real beef with Enhanced_Deficit isn't the fact that he spins, but that his spin runs counter to the direction of your own; and just to be clear, I don't think there's anything wrong with your disagreeing with him...but you should at least be honest about being, yourself, the proponent of an opinion.

My beef is the fact that every topic with him gets turned into the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, complete with partial article postings, pictures, and pronouncements of "SWC." It's absolutely nuts and an unhealthy, abnormal problem.

I do not go into every thread with my spin on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, so your post is off base.

No Israel/Zionism/Cop bashing are the right-wing's version of staunch political correctness--the right wing screams "RACISM!" almost as much as the left. Can't let 'em win that battle, now can we?

Same coin...blah, blah blah.

On a related topic--when are the neocons going to go after the Saudi gov't? Oh wait, they won't because that might hurt Jeb Bush, and make the other two Bush presidents look bad.

[TaftFan]

If I posted about black crime in every thread, I would rightly be outed as a racist. Some need to wake up and smell the coffee.

Hardly convoluted. Being anti-Zionist, while sometimes a legitimate position, is often a cover for simply being anti-Jew. More than a few people in history have let the truth of their beliefs slip out from behind the over. Unhealthy obsession with Zionism simply reveals one to be just another in the long line of fools who think Jews are the root of the world's evil.

ED (and others like him) is a strong supporter of Palestinian nationalism and a Palestinian homeland, but oddly enough they do not occupy his mind as the world's troublemakers.

That's just nuts. They don't have the power or the money to be the world's troublemakers. Most of them live in temp housing, refugee camps or with streams of shit running down their streets. They can't go further than 2-3 miles off their coast without being shot at, they can't travel anywhere, they aren't ingrained in any power structures in the world. Their weapon of choice was a freaking rock for years (and still is for most.)

That's like saying that you're afraid of Stephen Hawking laying a beat-down on you. At least try to be a tad rational.

A Famous quote of one and only Mario Coumo:


"If you were Merlin and you had taken a young boy with a fragile build and dipped him into the cauldron of boiling juices from lizards' insides and produced a knight with the biggest, broadest sword ever seen, you wouldn't have a better miracle than Giuliani produced by 9-11,"

TafttFan, how is the commentary/spin with the news unrelated? I'm opposed to elective/dumb wars and support of oppression/dictatorships abroad funded by tax payers. I believe every major event in US political history of last decade has been altered/affected due to NY WTC1/2/7 events and invasions that followed, that would not have occured IMO without "bi-partisan" support for a foreign oprression state with many hypocrite "liberals" in the middle of it ( Hillary Clinton’s decision to support Iraq war was driven by Israel concern (http://mondoweiss.net/2014/12/clintons-decision-matthews) ).

Just like MSM polishes every news story according to its bent to continue same old same, I don't see anything wrong with at every opportunity exposing hypocrisy, support for oppression/racial political ideologies by so called leaders MSM celeberates as "liberal beacons".
But good news is that younger minds are changing and more older minds will eventually come around too or fade away.

I'm often critical of current POTUS' policies too, as a fellow American ( assuming you are) did those criticisms of our own president ever bother you?
On a side note, do you watch Ben Shapiro and find him to be perceptive about current political situation in America?

Ben Shapiro: Obama White House is ‘borderline a Jew-hating administration’

Sometimes?

This is your cover for your spectacularly illogical claim, that anti-Zionism is only sometimes a legitimate position? This is the reason you immediately and without discernment accuse everyone who criticizes Zionism is anti-semitic? Even though, for instance, John McCain is a Zionist but not Jewish?

Seems to me the fact that anti-Zionism is sometimes a legitimate position (which you freely admit) is enough reason to give someone some benefit of reasonable doubt. As opposed to flinging charges of anti-semitism every time you see the name of the nation of Israel in a knee-jerk manner.

Oh, and have a negrep for using negreps as a substitute for rational discourse.

Crime is a local issue.

Zionism is a world problem that our Government is quite entwined with.

Yes I criticize Israel. This country helped created it,, has been enabling it, and Financially supporting it..
It is a Foreign Policy issue that has huge moral implications.

It has nothing to do with any like or dislike for Jews.. They are as much victims as anyone else.

Oh,, and I have coffee. thank you

Ruling class is ruling.

Some day, I hope to serve in their noble court, and bring honor to my family. Or at least serve coffee, to the people who serve them coffee.

Tis the American dream.
