"and I said "possibly" unjustified. "

And I asked you what you thought was 'unjustified' about it.

[Darksheare]

I did, you sidestepped the question.

[Hi Heels]

IMHO, this guy is totally brain seized. At the risk of being called "racist" or whatever blah blah blah, and after employment under three middle eastern men, I have to suggest that that reason that the middle east questions our integrity is because Its so different there. It's a measure of SUCCESS to fool/lie to/cheat/swindle/out-deal/get the best of your adversary in the middle eastern cultures. Whoever wins by whatever means wins. Hook or crook. How can they possibly believe a word we say when they have no concept of this measure of giving, this measure of self sacrifice or this measure of kindness/honesty. IMHO, I really think this is a key point that we are missing. It's a blend ignorance and an entirely different code of ethics.

" do not support the murderous actions of "Palestinians", nor am I a "terrorist sympathizer" as you unfortunately imply."

Nice try.
Your post 200 says otherwise.

[steve-b]

yesterday when there was the story about the Iranian idiot wanting a summit to discuss whether the Holocaust really happened

Maybe they can hire Pat to give the keynote address.

[Darksheare]

Washington Federals.

[Darksheare]

Check out 260.
Seems he forgot his post 200.

[MikefromOhio]

LOL

I am amazed he hasn't gotten any lightning up his arse yet....

[Castlebar]

Your post is so perfect; the thread should end right there.

[Darksheare]

Same here.

Great article by Pat.

I think we need someone looking out for the USA and who is skeptical of Israel.

George Washington stated it best:

As avenues to foreign influence in innumerable ways, such attachments are particularly alarming to the truly enlightened and independent patriot. How many opportunities do they afford to tamper with domestic factions, to practice the arts of seduction, to mislead public opinion, to influence or awe the public councils 7 Such an attachment of a small or weak towards a great and powerful nation dooms the former to be the satellite of the latter.

Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I conjure you to believe me, fellow-citizens) the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government. But that jealousy to be useful must be impartial; else it becomes the instrument of the very influence to be avoided, instead of a defense against it. Excessive partiality for one foreign nation and excessive dislike of another cause those whom they actuate to see danger only on one side, and serve to veil and even second the arts of influence on the other. Real patriots who may resist the intrigues of the favorite are liable to become suspected and odious, while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people, to surrender their interests.

I think, answers this question.

Hmmm, that may well be where Scott Ritter has gone, but Pat Buchanan!I don't know. The hate seems real and pervasive...and long standing. During Nixon's difficulties, I remember that there was something that Buchanan suggested they do that I found so reprehensible that I wrote him off forever. However shocked I was, time and age have caused me to forget what the heck it was. I should have written it down. ;(

Yet it was Nixon who almost singlehandedly rescued Israel during the Yom Kippur war by transferring weapons and pressuring the Soviets.

[MikefromOhio]

Make that THREE

The later in the evening, the more of them will appear....spooky. It's a lot like "Night of the Living Dumb"..

LOL

[KevinDavis]

I voted for this numnut in 92..

[reagan_fanatic]

Don't worry about Pat - he just likes a little goose in his step.

[Mr. Mojo]

He has a deeply ingrained anti-semitism, that much is clear. It is not his Catholicism.

Correct, his Catholicism has nothing whatsoever to do with his diseased mind. So what is Pat an antisemite? Resentment/envy. Same ole, same ole.
