  4. Mostly hilarious, except this one: "You might be a liberal if ... you believe that a mosque should be built at Ground Zero, but Jews shouldn't build apartments in East Jerusalem."
    There is nothing authentically good or "conservative" about the Israelis bullying virtually helpless Palestinians off their land in East Jerusalem with enormous American financial & military support. There is nothing "conservative" about the strong brutalizing the weak.

  6. natural moral law/what is that????/not been sarcastic but is that the same reasoning that states; a rat, is a monkey, is a boy or something to that effect?????
    lets clear the air some; Moral Law given by a Moral Law Giver/God/ and then the attempt by some to create their on moral law/still on the works/about the poor palestinians; they don't exist, they are people from Egypt, Lebanon, SA, Libya and every other Muslim country/why do they go to Canaan?/because Israel will give them work/medical and a descent life/what do the PA gives them/DEATH/by the way the PA bosses are the some of the richest arabs in that part of the world/financial help goes to their accounts and nowhere else. Jordan puts down "palestinian" rebellions and kills them by the bushel/Lebanon just finished reducing some of their "palestinian" problems up north/get away from the MSM garbage and what do you get; the average resident don't want nothing to do with the PA or a palestinian state or their enlighten leadership/I have always found it intriguing that the hate for Israel side steps any common sense.

  7. Ridiculous ektor. It is always amazing to me how Zionists change the subject, and then absent any argument for defending the indefensible, have recourse to their only mantra defense: ad hominem their interlocutor by simply dismissing them as "hating" their party. How do you know a Zionist has lost an argument? They stat charging “anti-Semitism.” While charging me with "hating" the people you are defending, your champions continue to expand their settlements into territory which is not theirs, which is not recognized to be theirs by ANY other foreign government, including the United States. And what are their tactics? Bludgeoning the women and children they have been economically choking for decades and stealing their possessions. Does this qualify as “hate” to you? Palestinians were there for 2,000 years prior to 1948, and all of your diversions and rationalizations don’t justify one act of injustice against them … nor America’s and the Republican Party’s complicity with those acts of injustice … financing them.

    I stand by my statement, “There is nothing authentically good or ‘conservative’ about the Israelis bullying virtually helpless Palestinians off their land in East Jerusalem with enormous American financial & military support. There is nothing ‘conservative’ about the strong brutalizing the weak.”

  8. If the tenant of the prez from Iran was true and the Zionist came from somewhere in the Balkans and or Russia then I would have to give you the bow and tip the hat but the problem unravels when you read some of Hemingway's description of palestinia prior to the coming of the Jews/not even dogs would live there. As to the sing-song about the rightful owner of Canaan you have to go to basic history;
    The Balfour Declaration of 1917 (dated 2 November 1917) was a formal statement of policy by the British government stating that

    "His Majesty's government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country."[1]

    The countries that hedge in Israel were created by the end of WWI, they never existed prior to that/must of those countries gained most of their people when the war for survival of the Jewish state started in 1948/ the massive exodus from Canaan was caused by the rulers of
    of the Arab nations that opposed the Jewish state. The massive slum problem created was a propaganda coup at home and not until the 60's in the rest of the world.

    And NO the palestinians were not there prior to 1948/the only thing there was the control of the Ottoman Empire/in response to the savage treatment of the defenseless let's clear this one up/do the show for the cameras gets them beaten up/yep/do women and children are killed by Israeli YES specially when they are transported to the location of rocket launchers/mortars/anti aircraft gun emplacements and other places the Israel identifies as targets ahead of the strike. Why kill their own because is a good propaganda victory all over the middle-east/

    About the statement that the palestinians where there for 2,000 years prior to 1948/come on/why do we have a KJV of the bible that was translated in 1611 with the work started in 1604/and this Bible do not talks of no palestinians but of the promise of God to the Jews/their land and no ones else.

    And about hating/cooled brother/I love a good argument specially if it forces me to think and research/that's my cup of tea/green at that/ and I must add you last post is very hot/hmmm

    will continue to check on this post/hope to read your answering argument soon
    have a good day

  9. to continue ...

    Jesus Christ fulfills the old covenant with the new. The old is subsumed into the new. His new wine is placed in the new wineskins of his Church, founded on the 12 apostles (fulfilling the 12 tribes of Israel), and their historical and true heirs the Pope and the bishops in communion with him. For this reason the Catholic Church calls herself “the New Israel,” and the “New People of God.” Those who reject Christ are heretics and to say they have a right to the promises of Abraham is further heresy.

    Bad theology brings about the bloody injustices in the Middle East. And I suggest you go there sometime. You’ll witness for yourself that everything I say here is true. And don’t forget, many of those Palestinians who are being brutalized by the Israelis with American tax dollars are your Christian brethren.

    Finally, if you want to see the extent to which the Israel Lobby and their American media will misrepresent the President of Iran, watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onNzrNEFs1E&annotation_id=annotation_86519&feature=iv Don't believe everything you hear, especially if it is on American television.

  10. ektor,

    The post of mine above (12:39 AM) is only the continuation of a longer post I made before then.

    Apparently our host doesn't like what I said so it was removed. If you would like to continue this discussion, you can write me at mitch33@hotmail.com.

    God Bless.

  12. I dont know that much about american liberalism, but here in Norway, we liberals fight for equal rights for all. Race, ethnicity and religion is irrelevant. We want everyone to have the option to marry, not only straight people. We want to give everyone the option to join the army, not only straight people. Now lets get this straight. Bush was NOT a very good president. Good education and good teachers are very important. You cant deny that if people were openminded they would understand that every human being on this planet have equal rights and they all deserve to be treated with respect. Now im just gonna go ahead and guess that you vote republican. I wonder, what do you think of your representatives? I mean, the winner of a debate wasn't the best one, but rather the one that messed up the least.

    ... you claim conservatives are haters as you wish anyone who eats at Chick-Fil-A gets cancer.

  14. Jesus you idiots, no one hates true conservatives. They hate what is passing as a conservative. Most of the conservative policies that have wrecked our economy aren't so conservative as they are a business agreement between the new right and the super wealthy. There is nothing wrong with being rich, but when someone becomes so wealthy that they can buy and sell your freedom, that's when the American dream dies.

  17. If you hate Christians who judge homosexuals, but not Muslims who execute homosexuals.... you might be a liberal

    If your think that pot should be legalized, but cigarettes should be banned..... you might be a liberal

    If you think that we should rely on the police rather than owning guns, and that the police are power-tripping racist murderers.... you might be a liberal

    If you believe that having an abortion is a choice, but deciding not to have one is not.... you might be a liberal

    If you think that taxes extracted at the threat of imprisonment used to support a worthwhile cause is "charity" instead of "theft".... you might be a liberal.
