The problem for Dershowitz and other baby-killers is that they view pro-life politicians as so EVIL—Imagine, how evil can a politician GET, trying to limit a woman’s right to dismember her baby!!!—that they just cannot bring themselves to withdraw their support from baby-killing politicians. Now they have helped a Jew-hating baby-killer become the putative President, and they are torn between GOOD (baby-killing) and EVIL (Jew-hating).

...why has Obama chosen to pick a fight with Israel while soft-soaping Iran which is threatening it with genocide? The answer is obvious:
Israel is to be used to buy off Iran just as Czechoslovakia was used at Munich. Indeed, I would say this is worse even than that, since I suspect that Obama – coming as he does from a radical leftist milieu, with vicious Israel-haters amongst his closest friends -- would be doing this to Israel even if Iran was not the problem that it is.

Dershowitz gets it, he has to. He just doesn’t want to admit that he was so wrong, and he is probably still hoping for a position on the Obama team. Dershowitz just doesn’t get it that he’ll be nothing but a benchwarmer on that team though, a bench warmer meant as token proof of Obama’s support for Israel.

Obama plans to use Israel as a bargaining chip with Iran. He’ll demand recognition of the Palestinian State and everything that goes with it, if Ahmadinejad swears on the Bible that he will stop the nuclear arms program.

Few liberals get it.

The problem is that we make the mistake of thinking that their decisions are rational. They aren't, they are emotionally based. It feels like Israel is the oppressor, therefore Israel is the oppressor. It is a simple as that.

We have to come up with an emotional appeal. Until we do, we will continue to lose ground.

Does everything have to be about abortion?

Get smart there are more ways than one to skin a cat to use an old trite phrase. You may not get everything you want but this country has to be moved spiritually not legally. Do we want to be as bad as the left when it comes to the Constitution.

An important article.

It’s the most common thing in the world for a person to think that they are smart, can absorb ideas, and have and can develop insights in one area; and therefore are exactly that way in some new area quite unfamiliar with them.

It leads doctors and dentists to typically be the WORST investors in the stock maarket.

It leads Sam Zell, genius in the real estate world, to think he can run a newspaper, buy it, and promptly see it nosedive into the ground.

And it leads Dershowitz to think that he speaks for some segment of Jews, that he has some special insight, on a topic where he flat out knows very little.

In fact, he has no special insight whatsoever into the future of Israel. Quite the contrary. He simply recites tired, mush-brained America liberal dogma, and makes a compelling case to convince himself and others of that ilk what they already believe. It’s a tragedy that, as this article says, that he simply cannot consider voting for someone who staunchly supports Israel. No, he must stay true to East Coast his liberal intellectual roots. He must fall for the empty rhetoric. Not for a millisecond can voting for a Republican be considered. It’s too bad, but it’s an excellent illustration of how so many Jews could vote for a man even as he literally threatens to cut their throats. Ultimately, it’s suicide.

Everything already is about abortion. It is the litmus test for everyone on the Left. It is the litmus test for the Supreme Court and for all national candidates.

And the Constitution ALREADY prohibits abortion, because it prohibits the States from denying equal protection of the law to any person.

Your comment about the Constitution is nonsensical.

It’s no wonder that liberals were giddy when Roe vs Wade was decided in favor of abortion on demand.

It turned the courts into a policy-making apparatus, populated by visceral activists, and legitimized psychotic rage in the streets.

IMHO

“Your comment about the Constitution is nonsensical.”

I live in an area of the country that is very Catholic and it is refreshing to find a Priest that believes in equal protection under the law.

I agree that everything is about abortion and that must be stoppped, the method is debatable and I doubt we would agree on the method. I am totally against abortion except for rape and incest and believe that in those cases you have to leave the final judgment to God. This one area is costing us votes from women that would prbably never have an abortion but don’t want to live in fear of it not being available. Flame away.
