    We are now in The Suck

    To borrow an idiom from our troops.

    No, Glenn, we no longer differentiate Israel and the US. It is abortion and gay marriage. It is tax cuts for the wealthy. It is "stay the course" and The Surge. It is yet one more topic that many Americans know little about but By God We Must Support Israel or the terrorists win.

    Of course Glenn, you are anti-Israel and an anti-Semite and somewhere in there you hate America and our freedoms. At least that's what the wingnuts will say. How dare you choose to support the Murderers of Hamas against the peace-loving Israels and their rose-petal bombs? They will say.

    No, McCain, who is quickly becoming scarier than George W. Bush, is a Maverick and a Straight-Talker.

    We are now in The Suck.
