Certainly you are no bigot, no antisemite.
You are however, wrong, because your assumptions are wrong and your assumptions are wrong because you just do not wish to address some very obvious realities.
You ignore the reality that Palestinian children have a curriculum of hate. You do not want to address this reality.
You say that giving up Golan would be part and parcel of a willingness to negotiate.
Well, then, why didn't giving up Gaza work out so well?
And, why do you assume that the Arabs and their fanatical bankers in Iran would ever truly accept the state of Israel in their midst?
You are a very reasonable man, but does that make all men very reasonable?
You make the mistake of believing that Fatah, Hamas and Hezbollah are reasonable and well-meaning because you are reasonable and well meaning.
You say that Israel should negotiate more and more, but doesn't that mean that you believe that in spite of a Moslem world which rejects any acceptance of Israel, Israel should still pretend she is negotiating with people she can trust?
Aren't you insisting that Israel make concessions with no real confidence that she would be getting anything in return for these concessions?
You liberals can imagine utopian solutions all you want, but, in the real world, weak people are slaughtered.
Don't you realize that Israel's enemies think like our friend here, Steal The Hearse, and not like you think, dear sir?
I have some homework for you. Join netflix and watch "The Boy In The Striped Pajamas."
My point remains that these are people who respect the average person while Glennn and other arrogant liberalz continue to think they always know what's best for us.
It isn't taking long to see that 0baba's medicine for the economy doesn't work. It just makes things much worse to throw money at failed institutions like GM, AIG and Citicorp. Trying to buy off most of America with pork projects and welfare checks isn't going to work either.
It is hard to find any Republicans in Cook County, but I am pleased Rick is one of our small band of brothers (admittedly George Ryan and many top Republicans here are as crooked as their Democrat counterparts). Rick argues daily with CNBC's economist, Steve Liesman, who seems to think the government can manipulate the economy and guide the economy in a positive direction, while Rick says Mister Market know best. Santelli's speaks for millions of voters when he says it is morally indefensible for taxpayers to bail out their greedy neighbors who bought too much house and now can not afford to pay their mortgages.
If you want a short lesson in "moral hazard" listen to Rick for one New York minute. We know a lot about moral hazard here in Chicago. One of the most recent examples is a new Latina garbage truck driver pulling down well over 60 grand a year (more than many high school principals) who has had 3 or 4 accidents already in the space of 4-6 months. Her qualification: She's a member of the Hispanic Democratic Organization who is good at getting out the vote.
And the fact that 0bama has lost Cramer is a big deal, because Cramer represents a ton of money and influence. He is typical of the self made centi millionaire who wants to help others gain the same opportunities he had. Even Warren Buffet is now saying that 0baba doesn't have his priorities straight.
And, listen to Laura Ingraham's bubbly voice and captivating energy for 15 minutes and you'll see why her show is more popular than any radio show Glennn will ever do.
Liberalz hate populist popular radio for good reasons. They can not control the growing outrage at government waste and fraud and corruption.
Stalin called Jews "rootless cosmopolitans" and this was before the birth of Israel in 1948.
Recently, our own dear Glennn repeated the age old charge that many American Jews have a duel loyalty. This is the kind of blood libel which has resulted in countless pogroms, Stalinist show trials with the usual executions, and a holocaust in which 6,000,000 Jews were murdered.
I think Glennn should also take my homework assignment and join Netflix and see "The Boy In the Striped Pajamas." That boy in the 'pajamas' could have been Glennn's very own left wing uncle. Hitler didn't care whether or not Jews were left or right. Neither did Stalin.
I think Calamine is on to something when he says that Glennn's brand of subtle anti semitism is far worse than Steal the Hearse's more obvious brand of Jew hatred, because Steal is simply an ignoramus, and Glennn is a well educated cosmopolitan, metrosexual guy, who, unlike Steal the Hearse, grew up in Florida with many Jewish friends and acquaintances. He can't possibly agree with Steal the Hearse that we Jews are just obsessed with money more than any other people when I am sure he knows about Jonas Salk and Albert Einstein and a host of Jewish humanitarians and philanthropists.
Glennn knows better, but he still repeats blood libel against his own people. If this is not sick, what is sick?
Work your way through law school. Maybe then, you can make a living like Glennn, being a well educated left wing twit, disciple of Noam Chomsky and Bill the sanctimonious Moyers.
I am semi-retired and can afford to spend more time than I should here.
You cannot afford it.
Be a mensch, ooo m000, make something of yourself, get a job.
