Families that are overly concerned about genetic purity produce things like Pat, then they wonder as to what went wrong.
The bold is where Pat lets the cat out of the bag, since right of return = destruction of Israel, and anyone who is sane knows it. Pat wrote a lot of words to deflect from the bottom line for him, but not enough words, at least not for this poster. I admire Pat less than I admire the white witch of Narnia. At least the white witch was up front about it all.
Pat is a poor excuse for Huey Long isn't he? He just doesn't have the necessities.
Pat ping.
The Palestinian state is dead for the balance of Bush's term. Totally dead.
His preposterous notion that we HAVE to deal with Hamas is simply Pat hoping and praying that, somehow, Israelis will be driven into the sea.
No, we are not negotiating with Al Qaeda but are negotiating with folks who are comparable to Hamas in Iraq (if not more extreme). Again, I find the readiness to give Bush a pass on this to be pretty amazing.
For all Pat's brilliant writing, he doesn't deserve the bashing from idiots.
Get real!
He is far from an idiot, but he is blind to the linkage between Israel and the US. He, like too many Americans, would sell Israel down the drain in exchange for Arab supremacy over Israel. I don't know why, I can't begin to guess his motives and I sure as hell don't agree with him, but an idiot he is not.
I don't find anything new, deep, intellectual, etc. about the writing. It takes me no where enlightening. If it enlightens you, then fine. To me it is just the same old, same old, of selling out to evil in the name of "its not any of my business."
You should not confuse the ability to contemplate to be the same as brilliance, indeed the lack of hesitation to contemplate the absurd or unacceptable is the opposite of brilliant.
For example, the pros of killing everyone over the age of 75 could take hours to fully contemplate, the spread sheets could be masterfully done, the deep intricacies of how it could send a financial spider web of benefits throughout the economy could take years to fully understand. And yet, I find those that dismiss the thought within seconds to be the truly brilliant ones.
See my post #73 for further edification.
The talking part is over, I think.
Pat on the other hand brought the 1990 GOP convention to it's feet with his clash of culture speech. He said what many knew, but wouldn't or couldn't express.
And Pat is still at it, but sadly has developed a defeatist position in confronting Islamists.
Your analogy on 75+ is extreme, and I'm sure Pat would nix it in a nano second. Strategies in dealing with barbarians, stick or carrot, is quite another thing.
Analogies usually are extreme, thus the clarity of making them. But how is this one? The bully on the play ground keeps punching the little kids, and every time we stick up for the little kids he throws rocks at us. So let's try walking away and see if that doesn't make the bully like us more. Is PB a babbling idiot? No, I don't think so. Is he an isolationist that has the alarming ability to flip off his moral compass? Yes. PB scares me most when I'm agreeing with him.
Good post. Only Pat scares me when I disagree with him.
Years ago Israel was supporting Hamas in order to weaken PLO.

Your tagline is cute: (Trust, but vilify.)
