something stinks inquires: ""The Canadians burned the White House? We have let this outrage stand for nearly 200 years?"
Yes, and they still gloat . . .

Just a couple more things....
Readers do have a choice regarding the music. They can either listen to the music which is supplied or they can choose not listen to that music. If they don't like the music once it's started, they can stop it merely by pressing a button. It's so easy that even a caveman can do it.
Finally, there is no blog roll because it's not a blog. Had it been a blog, I would have called it Jebbie's Blog.
There is an answer for making a provision for reader posts however. Had you actually been able to read the over-lapping text which no one else has said anything about, you might have noticed that I have been asking for comments regarding starting a thread-based forum. In case you missed it, you can get someone else's computer and read page 2. The details are all there. I'm surprised that you had not already commented on the idea since you seem hot to trot for someplace to post. The answer was right there all along.
Again, thanks for taking the time to critique the Wog.
BTW, have you ever been to Valleyfield, Quebec? It's a small town just west of Montreal.
Now wait a minute.
Just who[m] is getting massacred here? The Jews? Not hardly. The casualty rate of this little Gaza Action is something like 100:1 Palestinians to Israelis. It's not even a fight. It's a battering senseless and then explosive death. Period.
Extermination of the Palestinians in Gaza needs nothing more than a drone or two and some convenient high-tech missiles. Ka-blooey, gone in a pink mist.
And yet we keep hearing about the Boxcars, as if the Palestinians had somehow, in some unknown manner, loaded them up in the '40's and transported all those European Jews to the camps and the ovens.
And they would do it again if they had the chance.
They didn't do it in the first place.
And despite all their anger and their pain and their suffering at the hands (and tanks and bombs and bullets) of Israel now, it's highly dubious that the Palestinians would do it -- or anything like it -- if they had the chance tomorrow.
Israel is fighting phantoms of a horrible past, when no one stood up and no one stopped the Holocaust, and when -- with a few startling exceptions -- the Jews themselves didn't fight back.
So the Israelis "fight back" now. Against All the New Hitlers. All those fantom Boxcars. Because they didn't fight back then, and no one would stand up for them then. And now Palestinians have to die.
And what we see, over and over, is the continual massacre of the innocents, the slaughter of the firstborn, the destruction of Canaan and Philistia, again and again and again.
World without end...
He couldn't get his talking points out quickly enough. He said the Palestinians could have their own state in "two days" if Hamas stopped the rockets and agreed to Israel's right to exist. Yeah, right. Of course, he didn't say where this state might be.
I know. I get so sick of these lying propagandists. Clifford May and Shuster and other zionist shills knowingly spew dishonest information when it comes to Israel.
It is infuriating! I loved the part where Buchanan was on a roll and Shuster got this look on his face like he was personally angry that Pat rolled off key incriminating facts that messed up his and Clifford's talking points and made his beloved Israel look like the Apartheid state it is...
Barack Obama is reportedly planning to ditch President Bush’s strategy of isolating Hamas, and will instead move to open contacts with the group. "The Guardian has spoken to three people with knowledge of the discussions in the Obama camp. There is no talk of Obama approving direct diplomatic negotiations with Hamas early on, but he is being urged by advisers to initiate low-level or clandestine approaches, and there is growing recognition in Washington that the policy of ostracising Hamas is counter-productive."
This is, perhaps, a start.

Did it ever occur to our political elites that many Americans are increasingly sick of paying more taxes and having an larger target painted on their backs because of US support of Israel?
Also, being a conservative myself, I cannot see how Israel deserves billions of dollars in aid from the tax payers, though of course private citizens should be able to do as they wish with their money. What do we get out of it, why do they deserve unconditional blind support?
Israel is not a liberal democracy, but rather a religious apartheid. There is democracy for Jews, but what about the indigenous Palestinians whom Israel controls militarily and economically? A number of whom are Christian too. It would be great if everyone had a political voice, but then it would no longer be a Jewish state, it might be a mixed Jewish, Muslim, and Christian state.
Also the other countries in the Middle East are not Nazis and their anger towards Israel has nothing to do with them being Jewish or their right to practice their religion. It is rather simply a territorial dispute, and the reaction would be the same if the Chinese decided to cleanse and occupy the land between the Mediterranean and river Jordan in the late 1940s. As for the Orwellian titled "moderate" Arab countries (namely Egypt and Jordan, though Saudi gets lumped in there too, don't ask me why anyone would label Saudi Moderate) they are a dictatorship and monarchy that are purely dependent upon US financial and military aid. Mubarak and Abdullah must fear the day the US will be too broke to finance their tyrannies, which is probably not far off.

snoid? Not to pick on you, but the other day you mentioned that Jews enjoyed a great victory in removing the Tsar. Then I asked if they can claim credit for that, why cannot they claim credit for what followed? To which you responded, they were the Mensheviks, the minority party, not the Bolsheviks.
To wit:

I am not pasting this link in order to argue that Jews are bloodthirsty monsters. I am pasting this link to show that Jews are just like the rest of us: no better, and no worse. Once one understands this, then one can begin to see the situation in Gaza more clearly. Not tainted by the myth of the Eternal Victim Jew. As the author states:
The Jews active in official communist terror apparatuses (In the Soviet Union and abroad) and who at times led them, did not do this, obviously, as Jews, but rather, as Stalinists, communists, and "Soviet people." Therefore, we find it easy to ignore their origin and "play dumb": What do we have to do with them? But let's not forget them. My own view is different. I find it unacceptable that a person will be considered a member of the Jewish people when he does great things, but not considered part of our people when he does amazingly despicable things.
Right now, the Jews in Israel (and those supporting it around the world) are doing amazingly despicable things.
