"Excellent analysis in both posts # 55 and # 56"

Re: 56, Look, I fully support Israel and all Conservative Americans but right now the lunatic fringe Left would fall apart without the American Jews. They are the leaders, financers, majority interest, voters, bloggers, etc. Of course the Right has many excellent Jewish commentators (Levin, Savage, Krauthammer, Kristol, etc.). Israel is a different case, of course they are conservative - or they would perish.

I'm not so sure the moonbats would fall apart without Jewish support. The moonbats have always been with us and since McGovern have been making a relentless effort to take over the Democratic Party or as some might say to take down the party.

I tend to believe it'll be the latter.

Well like many professional pols, if they cannot win on the good side, they will take anything. Afterall, look at McCain.

They are addicted to power and will say or do anything to have it, look at the Democrats.

As much as we regret it, our battles against terrorism have to be waged outside our borders as well, something that Pat and Joe choose not to accept. In addition, "Why do they hate us?" is such a weak, unprincipled response to terrorism. "Shoot now, ask questions later" is the only option.

Like many fellow FReepers, I used to admire Pat, and I thought his speech at the 1992 GOP convention was superb. Now I see a bitter hack blaming everything on Jews and the "amen corner in Washington" he scorns. Joe can still write some interesting columns provided they don't touch on politics, but his constant philosophizing on the nature of the state has practically turned into an excuse for his disdaining his country in the style of some Hollywood expatriate.
