"And, to the poster that complained about the $$$$ we spend in Israel."
"In" Israel? Most of that dough doesn't leave this country. From Washington to our defense contractors.
Pat's anti-semitism is the reason I will never support Pat. He says some things that are insane, and then he comes on with his anti-Jew spiel.
I wonder if Pat's a disbeliever in the holocaust....wouldn't surprise me.
Pat's intellect has entered the 2+2=5 stage.
He no longer can think clearly on these issues.
A great many of his facts are right, but the package he ties them up in, and the conclusions he sends them to,
leave much to be desired. The same Arabs who "distrust" the USA for example , find something positive in AL Quaeda's "standing up to the United States"????
We have got our hands full dealing in general with "the Arab world". They are simply living on another planet.
And the populations of the oil-rich nations, especially Saudi Arabia, had better figure out what their place in the world might be when the ONLY thing they contribute to the planet is a resource that will someday not be in nearly so much demand as it is today. THIS aspect of Arab life is not discussed much, but it is essential to their intransigence and their enormous blind spots and their total isolation from the rest of the world.
Pat's only point is the one up his backside, which is still there as a result of his ongoing feud with the Bush family. He is like Democrats: he would rather undermine the U.S. as long as it hurts Bush.
Yea .. but most cases we deserved it ... oh the stories I could tell that my old brothers did .. LOL
Me .. I was a good girl and got 95's in conduct :0)
"To answer your question, one example - the UN resolution that "Sharon & Co" have "stomped on" most glaringly is UN resolution 194, otherwise known as right of return - for Palestinian refugees."
194 was a General Assembly resolution and was non-binding. Such a resolution, if implemented, would destroy the Jewish State. It should be noted that a far greater number of Jewish refugees were ethnically cleansed from the Arab nations where they had been living in many cases for countless centuries. Indeed, the new Iraqi constitution specifically bars a return of property to those Jews. Where are your UN resolutions about that situation?
As you mentioned earlier, of course it is not anti-Semitic to criticise Israel. If it were virtually every Jew in the world would be an anti-Semite. It is anti-Semitic though: to hold the Jewish State to a higher standard than any other nation, to only concern oneself with the failings of the Jewish State and ignore all others, to demonise Israel, to deliberately lie about Israel. On that basis, Buchanan is a dyed-in-the-wool Jew-hater. His comparison of Iraq and a genocidal dictator with Israel and Ariel Sharon is ugly and despicable and totally disingenuous. Buchanan is a disgrace to his nation and his religion.
Okay...FOR Israel then...is that better??
Tracey had a busy day:
"Republican National Committee spokeswoman Tracey Schmitt, reached by telephone, responded to Clinton's remarks by saying, "On a day when Americans are focused on the legacy of Martin Luther King, Hillary Clinton is focused on the legacy of Hillary Clinton."

Arab scholar and anything concerning Israel should never be taken seriously and the freeper on this thread who is doing so is an apologist.
While only 6 percent agreed with al-Qaeda’s aim to establish an Islamic state and only 7 percent approve of its methods, 20 percent admire the way al-Qaeda “stood up for Muslim causes” and 36 percent admire how it “confronts the U.S.”
Amazing how one civilization can be so completely wrong. It sounds like American attitudes towards blacks 100 years ago. It is that level of silliness.
"I've just been an admirer of his for some time, mostly based on his hard-line opposition to abortion and his America-first patriotic views"
No doubt he can spend his after-life swapping stories with Coughlin and Lindbergh while he stokes the fires.
LOL, Kennedy snookered by satire.
Priceless!
Neither have I.
What is it about guys named Pat?
Even my pre-Vatican II older relatives (Polish and Italian no less!) were not anti-semitic. I have a different feeling about Buchanan's family however.
>Get the picture!<
The one you paint? You could use a little air brush now and then.
Once again, for the third time, show me where Pat has supported Israel.
"Let's please not reduce criticism of my posts to now calling me an anti-semite."
Sleep with dogs, get fleas.
If you espouse support the murderous actions of "Palestinians", you will be treated as a terrorist sympathiser.
"I thought forums were a place to discuss things, but if you all want to just keep agreeing with each other and bashing anyone who shows up with a different take, so be it."
Ah yes, the typical troll line of "But but.. I thought it was a debate board!"
"Despite the wailing of the liberal trolls and other doom & gloom naysayers, we feel no compelling need to allow them a platform to promote their repugnant and obnoxious propaganda from our forum. Free Republic is not a liberal debating society. We are conservative activists dedicated to defending our rights, defending our constitution, defending our republic and defending our traditional American way of life. " -Jim Robinson

Goes for people who espouse support for 'palestinian' terrorists and more than likely Buchanites as well.
That, together with profound ignorance of the west, reinforced by distorted media indoctrination, and no interest in learning otherwise, means the outcome is fore-ordained.
