It is getting worse as they are choosing to import some of the worst arab/islamic elements to carry on the tradition. Sounds like a rat "hirer a thug" mission going on out there.<br /><br />Theory: this may be the current european model also to scare off the remaining jews. this would explain the euros need/desire for a missile defense system. knowing history i can imagine what the plan for the muslims are after they do the job they were brought there for. Defense against future missiles from iran, pak, etc. does seem to make sense now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-53582583982375543302011-01-17T15:07:53.211-05:002011-01-17T15:07:53.211-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01798524644256471907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-88557045268053198542011-01-17T14:49:10.913-05:002011-01-17T14:49:10.913-05:00" I do have problems with Israel's concep..."<i> I do have problems with Israel's conception of its borders and how it differentiates between people based on Religion.

I've not chosen to read Wretchard nor partake in the comments there for a variety of reasons. The prime reason being my impression that there are many 'faux intellectuals' there - they reason earnestly, often illogically, often from false premises. Maybe things have changed but that is beside the point with respect to our conversation.<br /><br />What irritates me is the notion that criticizing Israeli policy or criticizing Zionism, is being anti-semitic (as in Anti-Jew). I also find it irritating that saying or even demonstrating that a person is biased against Jews it somehow negates all they say. Similarly there are many here, and at BC, that are biased against Muslims. The bias, is, well, a bias. <br /><br />I, personally, have never argued that Israel shouldn't exist. I do have problems with Israel's conception of its borders and how it differentiates between people based on Religion. Jews also have expressed similar cricitcisms.Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16688752302081088907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-24193661692628602692011-01-17T10:45:06.026-05:002011-01-17T10:45:06.026-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16688752302081088907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-51273917512640834842011-01-17T10:25:56.443-05:002011-01-17T10:25:56.443-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01798524644256471907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-47176445529269852332011-01-17T09:55:23.493-05:002011-01-17T09:55:23.493-05:00I guess I'm a "romantic," but some o...I guess I'm a "romantic," but some of those herds have been there almost 500 yrs.

Only 23% disagree with this assessment, while another 16% are not sure. (To see survey question wording, click here.) <br /><br />In early September, just before the mid-term elections, 62% of voters felt this way about Congress. <br /><br />Although Republicans now have the majority in the House, 61% of GOP voters believe Congress can always make things worse. This view is shared by 54% of Democrats and 67% of voters not affiliated with either political party. <br /><br />As Scott Rasmussen notes in a recent Wall Street Journal article, “The reality is that voters in 2010 are doing the same thing they did in 2006 and 2008: <br />They are voting against the party in power.” So perhaps it’s no surprise that there is little partisan disagreement on this question.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770268554450465514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-72464042537865380042011-01-17T06:58:46.231-05:002011-01-17T06:58:46.231-05:00Deuce wanted to shoot down the helicopter that was...Deuce wanted to shoot down the helicopter that was rounding up the wild horses for adoption.<br /><br />McCain wanted to arm the copter.<br /><br />He sided with the Forest Service, which wanted to eliminate the horse herd in Heber/Overgaard management area of the Forest.<br /><br />Butcher 'em for dog food.<br /><br />McCain, a third generation Federal.
