So--fools--stop blaming Kristol's judaism or "zionism" for his horrible
judgement and love of violent policies that kill Americans and, well, just about anyone brown.
The majority of support for Bush's horrible policies come from self proclaimed "Christians," so leave Judaism out of it.
The Jews are super cool for America and the world. If you have a problem with the policies of the Israeili government, then call it that. You don't blame Jesus and Christians for Vietnam and the Iraq war---you blame the policy and the assholes. In the Iraq war case, Kristol and Bush.
The last thing we need on the left are stupid anti-semites trolling our comment sections. You don't represent us and you aren't one of us. You're a plant, a right winger, or just an asshole (see above, you fit right in).
I'm a liberal Irish American Mutt and I love Jews. And Jews have championed more liberal and progressive causes than just about any group.
Kristol's Judaism is his best quality, and obviously the Talmud and the Torah don't influence his thinking at all. Just his imperialist Bush Brain.
I thought I was hallucinating, but there they are!
He can turn water into cherry Kool-Aid
Sunshine into more sunshine
Republicans and Democrats dancing on the floor of the senate with Ted Steven's spinning Kool and the Gang's "Celebrate."
Men admiting they were wrong to their wives and girlfriends
Blackwater deployed to New Orleans with flowers for residents
Cats and dogs living together
A tearful redneck hugging a hippie
A sexy female CEO falling in love with an unemployed, skinny guy and vice versa
The CEO of Dow Chemcials bringing groceries to an unwed teenage mother
The battle of the bands--Krystal & BattleAxe--ends in a group hug
The Staff of the Weekly standard bringing meals to Aids patients
Ann Coulter's new book "The Power of Unconditional Love" reaches #3 on the NYT bestseller list.
A tearful, hilarious ending to the Iraq War not seen the end of "Mash"
Seriously, I do like the candidate, Obama. I'm voting for him or Edwards. I just carry a bucket of cold water whenever I smell smoke and hype.
I listen to Matthews...
I read Dowd....
and I nash my teeth in frustration at the inanity of "journalism" in the US.
Thank you Glenn for reminding me that we are sane while they are...inane.
Pinch yourself, we are actually seriously debating this idea as illustrate by book cover:
The liberalism that produced the hippies (peace, love, flowers, anti-war) and the smiley face (have a nice day) is really pretty similar to Hitler, Nazi Germany and the extermination of 6 million Jews and uncounted gypsies, homosexuals and intellectuals.
Yes, that's reasonable premise for a mass marketed book and for debate on Salon.com.
One small step for yapping pundit, one giant step toward more credibility for Insane, scarily laughable irrational thought.
choke on my own vomit.
Because that implies he signed up to help black folks and then quit. He never signed up to help anyone but himself. He benefited from the spirit of affirmative action and after was absolutely satisified to pull up the ladder so none followed him.
He's simply another right wing, mediocre activist justice who can be counted to vote in favor of big business, deregulation, and the new survelliance society. Oh yes, and to appoint an ex drunk draft dodger who crashes oil companies and baseball teams to the position of leader of the free world.
But if you listen to the most prominent Christian leaders in America you'll know God favors free markets, lower taxes for rich people, closeted (or no) gays, the "surge," a pro-war version of Christ's teachings, abortion rights outlawed, prisons over programs for the poor, The USA over other countries, Private versus Universal Healthcare.
God hates: assault rifle bans, European style social democracy, free clinics, supporting the troops by bringing them home, organic food, congressional overight.
Just so we're clear.
the unnecessary, immoral and unwinnable wars we keep losing.
of healing for my chronic immune disorder. They helped a little, but I relapsed and relapsed and over the years got worse and worse. I finally turned to western medicine to complement the mind-body medicine. I improved again, but once again I relapsed.
Now I'm sick and can tell you from experience that mind-body medicine is not the saving miracle for everyone and western medicine is not the outdated modality to be avoided.
If you use positive thinking and get well, be thankful. But don't assume it was all you and your thinking. If you didn't get well, would you simply blame yourself?
Were those who survived Birkenau and Auscwitz mentally stronger than those who did not? No, it was random in most cases.
If you know someone who is ill, but for whom mind body medicine is not helping, do not blame this person for not "self-healing."
Some things are in our control, some things are out of our control, and often we do not know which.
than will "Hydroderm" which is advertised on Salon's homepage.
Who has a bet how long this letter lasts on this page?
Free exchange of ideas vs commerce. It's a tough one and I don't blame Salon if they pull this letter down. They have to pay the bills. I just want to save some suckers some money.
Yes, the cat and dogfighting is on.
But once we have a nominee we will, as we did in 2004 with Kerry, get behind the candidate and support them with everything we've got. I and all my friends worked for MoveOn and the Kerry campaign and while no of us liked him much, we almost got him elected.
Tom's extra cynicism is unecessary and thus, this cartoon is unhelpful and off the mark. But keep at it.
Neat. Then it'll be a surprise.
