But I guess he's not black or female enough. Gotta check those check boxes, you know.

The lead time for rail is decades. It will not save you.

So what if they kill infidels, women, girls and anyone vaguely familiar with the 20th Century. That's their deal. I applaud their efforts and hope someday the Taleban could expand or franchise into the US.

What does this have to do with blaming Israel for everything? Get this crap off Salon's website.

Is excoriated as right wing insanity. Please refer to your handbook. Thank you.

Salon for instance is addicted to hate.

Isn't that nice.

And their zionist control of the sun.

Heather will love it.

It's not a partisan issue.

Wearing his Mao T-shirt and carrying a thermos of anthrax. That's why he wasn't in attendance.

California will ban it, claim the moral high ground and then tsk tsk all the other states who provide California's solar technology for them.

So was Hitler, Somoza, Castro, all the dictators of West Africa and Putin. I don't see the connection between elections and righteousness. Aren't you the people who've maintained that Bush wasn't legitimately elected?

Otherwise, who cares? We should legalize all drugs, all behaviors and not worry about it. I don't care if you kill yourself with drugs why should you?

Should it even bother to protect people? Why have police - most people don't get murdered? Why have seatbelts? Why have the FDA? Why have any laws at all? If there is no duty on the state to protect its citizens then you should say that. Of course when people take matters in their own hands you'll criticize the Jews for doing that as well. Unless you're truly ready to put your money where your mouth is and start espousing 'jewhad' where Israelis systematically go to Gaza to suicide bomb mosques, buses and restaurants in lieu of the army trying to protect its citizens?

And got pooh poohed and barked at by my moral betters at Salon. I think in the end there really is a Luddite sect within the Green movement that would love to us all living in the 18th Century.

Well I figured as much.

It really means "People who's ancestors were Jewish but the current generation is probably 2 or 3 generations removed from that". They are no more Jewish than any random stranger in the street. And it's representative of nothing at all.

Antisemites come in all flavors. They often trot out "Jews" and people with Jewish sounding names to bolster their case, as if saying "Here are some Jews who hate Jews, who better to prove that it's true?" I happen to know a third generation Baptist named Elliot Goldberg.

It really has no bearing on anything. In fact employment at State Dept is generally seen as a jumping off point to lucrative positions as lobbyists and think tanks that represent Arab interests in the US. It has been thus since the end of WW2.

Most of it winds up being wasted and stolen.

Then the addiction problem merely becomes another medical procedure that is or is not covered by your health insurance.

Let's say for the sake of argument that Gaza eventually is cut loose and gets to declare itself the nation of Gaza. And they are given free and open access to the Mediterranean, they negotiate whatever treaty they can with Egypt for that 9 mile border. Simultaneously they establish a timeline with Israel to set the date whereby Israel no longer provides 80% of their electricity for free, and all the other infrastructure services. That is, the Gazans have to do that themselves. And the border with Israel, that is, a completely different nation is locked down much as it is today allowing trade to go back and forth but people can only travel with the appropriate documentation and permission.

Basically the way all the other countries in the world operate. So let's say that's what happens, in oh 10 years. And let's say that the pace of rocket attacks, approximately a thousand a year every year for 10 years, persists. And they get bigger and more accurate, given an increasing percentage of them today are military grade Chinese and Iranian manufactured MRLS type rockets.

Your suggestion of any Israeli action would be.............?

What then. It's a serious question I'd like one of you to answer it.

Maybe it's time to take a look at how California works, or doesn't work. The deficit in NC will exceed 2 billion dollars and the schools just have to make do as every other agency does.

You may find that celebrities w/o portfolio are much freer to proclaim the atomic death of Israel whereas when they have an actual job like Secy State, they are more realistic and levelheaded. So, I imagine Salon crowd will wind up very angry and selfrighteous that Secy Clinton doesn't join with Iran in the death of Israel.

You will find that for as long as we've been keeping data on these things, civilian casualties always exceed military casualties. That you're singling out Israel means either you don't read history or you have a specific anti Israeli agenda.

Hamas conveniently turns that on its head by declaring that all Israelis are 'soldiers' therefore bona fide targets. They don't do this accidentally, they do this specifically so people like you won't blush when Israeli civilians are blown up since they are all of them 'soldiers'.

For repressive censorious sites.....like Salon.

Is that the furthest left fringe can't find a handhold to him. Sure the GOP lost the election and there's reason to cheer, but the lefty left, the Salon left, the faux Marxist left, the people with Daddy Issues, take that, wrongly, as a mandate that Obama is the new Che/Lumumba. Which he's not. So anything he does that doesn't sound like he's a Shining Path Maoist insurgent, they're going to be very angry. I wouldn't worry about it too too much.
