but to say nothing has changed for the jews is nonsense. Without the US, the jewish nation would be in even more danger than it is now. Liberals are always pointing out that if we would just abandon Israel, the muslims would be happier with us. But we won't do that and we should not do that.

it is one aspect of liberal dishonesty, the dishonesty of western jewish people, who affect to hate the US. The show of hatred comes out of security, the security of being supported by the might of the US, and knowing no matter how stupid liberals of all religions act, the US will not support the destruction of Israel -- unless liberals suceed through left wing propaganda in turning america against Israel. But liberals can play these games because they know that will not happen. So they flatter themselves with how radical they are and how daring and outspoken. Haven't liberals every wondered why none of this talk affects arabs or muslims. Because they know it is all a game. The very fact that people can afford to play that game says something about their security, their arrogance in fact. Come and get me, you can say, when the man with the big gun is behind you.

I think you are wrong sugerman. The US's commitment to Israel is a moral commitment which costs the US something. It should not be surprising if the US gets something out of it. Self interest always matters. But to imply that only the US is benefitting is not true. And to say that Israel can survive without the US is completely false. If you think Israel is badly off now, what would conditions be like if the US was anti Israel and anti semitic. In your zeal to put down the US, you are minimizing the friendship between the nations and the enmity of others. You think the US is not friendly enough to Israel. But according to hundreds of millions of muslims and others, we are licking Israel's boots.

As for you anti US stance, all I can say is if we are bad, what are we bad in comparison to? because it's all relative.

as for anon, Israel is grateful to us and we are grateful to them.

Jane talks about her "socialist paradise." She was a professor, which means a very easy life. the money for her and her husband's salary came from those who are not professors, who actually have to make money, the money that we all depend upon, the money that will have to pay for all the free stuff liberals think everyone should get. Jane should try to make money, to run a business,keep within the law, pay taxes, worry about theft and hire people, and all those things that people do whose money paid for her cushy job. what a fantasy land liberals live in.

in new york, on any given day, I see dozens of black nannies with little white children, strolling them through the streets. I hope the employers (no doubt leftwingers) are paying the nannies decent wages with benefits.

most of the letter writers seem to see no difference between the US and islamic countries in terms of liberalism. If we are the same, if that is true, that the whole concept of liberalism is meaningless. let's just remember that muslims openly come out and announce their desire to kill non muslims, and they are here walking around freely, and not being molested. I'd like to walk around in one of the dozens majority muslim countries and put down their country, culture and religion. I'd be killed. in fact, the christians and hindus and buddhists in those countries are killed, enjoy no civil rights whatsoever, the tiniest amount of religious toleration, which seems to be daily diminishing. muslims are completely not liberal. they don't want any part of it. yet the same people who regard us as no different from nazi germany have no problem with this. obviously, liberals have no liberal principles. are you all then secret islamists?

Obama's candidacy shows what is wrong with contemporary western politics. Obama promises he will solve every problem for everyone and change the nature of human life. Somehow he will arrange for everyone to have buckets of money. He will enable all to have everything for nothing. How? He will take money from the rich (which means anyone with a job and an income above $50,000) and give it to the poor. He will force doctors and drug companies to work for less money. This will not work.

the comic is all about white people's reactions. black people also have their reactions to the one black kid, which is way harsher that a white person's reaction. It can't be nice to be told you are not really black or you are a traitor to your people or an uncle tom, or something like that, just because you like classical music or don't believe that bush brought down the towers, etc.

is what all this comes to. I'd like to see white westerners try to convince millions of asians and africans, including muslims, that they should reduce their numbers, and deal with charges of racism. Let's be content with reducing our own numbers. There is no problem there. We have given up having children. So what do we care about the earth. We won't be here. As we look around and see no more blue eyes and blond hair, we should feel proud. We should really rejoice when we see the end of western civ. Leave others alone to have their children and continue their culture and religion.
