As a proud
WWII veteran it thoroughly DISGUSTS me that the U.S. and Western Europe stand by with their hands in their deep pockets and allow this historic travesty to proceed unfairly...unabashed...and unconscionable.
Just an afterthought: those last three words sound like an inspirational title for a biography of Benjamin Netantahu.
The current re-incarnation of a once-great nation has lost its guts as well as its gonads! The leadership of the Western World awaits without.......without guts, without a once-strong sense of justice......and without the derring-do which has characterized it history.
Let the games begin.....and may fairness and ultimate justice prevail !!!
it has shed its inspiration at viewing "the dawn's early light" even as "the rockets' red glare" once again dominates the horizon.
But, most of all, it has turned away from its sense of honesty, integrity and JUSTICE even as the need for its historic fairness is perhaps the GREATEST EVER!
One underestimates the intelligence and perspicacity of the American people only at ONE's own peril. Just think: George W. Bush; Ronald Reagan; and, most particularly Dick Cheney!
As a member of America's most-venerated group.....World War II veterans.....the very notion of TORTURE disgusts me beyond description! That conflict was more intense by an order of magnitude than anything in recent history. But our PEOPLE were stronger and more devoted to issues of "integrity", "responsibility" and "decency" than today's half-witted excuse for "leaders". and the compliant "morons" who blindly suck up the pus which is left behind as they pass by!
It is rather like comparing Giants (FDR, Eisenhower, etc.) with half-witted midgets (GW Bush, Obama) and even scum-sucking gutter rats like Cheney!
Will that "shining city on the hill" ever.....EVER....return? Not until God once again endows people in this country with the essentials to D E M A N D ........not beg......that THEIR country be restored to "what has been" and "what SHOULD BE!"
Obviously, two can play at that "game"; in fact, Hitler excelled!
No......I am not anti-Semitic, although incidents like this make it almost magnetically tempting, and, as history teaches us, when one side starts a dangerous "game" of this sort, it usually doesn't take too long for an "answer" to be heard!!!!!!.
It's about damned well time!!! As a WWII veteran, I have historically backed the concept of "Israel", but over time have increasingly questioned that choice..
With the advent of Benjamin "Yahoo--yahoo", I have become increasingly disgusted with Israel, and increasingly understanding of historic European "tepidness" toward him and his backers.
Looking (mostly backward) at the course of Middle Eastern history, I find less and less logic at stealing Arab land and creating a brouhaha in the entire region. Particularly notable to me is the perfidy of Britain et al at the conclusion of WW!. After accepting Arab support (under the aegis of Lawrence of Arabia), the Allies spit in their faces by declaring a "Jewish Homeland" and ever since then it's been "Katie bar the door"
Perfidy, thy name is Balfour!!! (Now, say that in Arabic!).
Ah! The joys of capitalism! When will the suckers finally arise?
At P. T. Barnum's "one born every minute", the market is really getting crowded, but "the beat" goes on....and on!!.....and ON!!!!!
As I look back over my 89 years, the pieces fit together like a jigsaw puzzle once the "key" is identified. The hubris of past U.S. administrations is exceeded only by their self-righteousness. Democrat or Repug-nican (sic), they share a common color---YELLOW!
When I reflect on the good friends who lacked my luck and were dead by 1945, and compare our dedication with our country's perfidy, it becomes apparent why their ancestors were "persecuted" in their homelands. Unfortunately, they probably should have been castrated in the process.
"Where to now, Horatio?" For young readers, that is the REAL question; fortunately, I'll be taking my "leave" in the not too distant future.....but before I do, JUST WHAT DO I TELL MY GREAT GRANDCHILDREN NOW?????.
A-holes like this one make me sorry I bothered to give three-plus years of my life to destroy Adolf Hitler......I really think they MUST have been first cousins.......probably with one common parent.
The Mason-Dixon line certainly serves effectively as a foolproof filter to prevent the leakage of common sense southward. Now if it could only be adjusted to prevent the leakage of idiocy northward, we might....just MIGHT....have the basis for a decent country.
What movie character used to say, "Interesting........VERY interesting!"
In the sad, inexplicable case of Michele Bachman, I seriously doubt that she understands the meaning of the word, "flailing"...... along with many others.
Cheer up, Michele; it's rather like a fish out of water...shortly before it STOPS..... "flailing".

Are they mutually exclusive ????

Absolutely Astounding !! ....but hardly surprising.

There! She certainly should understand THAT!!!
Or....put more directly....
