Too bad my aid to Israel package sent on April 15th wasn't voluntary.
I ping all kinds of people. Even you :-)
That is what this forum used to be all about. Open discussion. But recently we not supposed to mention what everyone knows is true. Some people become "offended" and start in with the Identity Politics song and dance.
Calling names is a deliberate attempt to shut down debate. I personally don't see why there is any debate about mentioning on a thread about Jews and Israel socialist hypocrites such as Lieberman but if some want to debate his value to America, fine with me.
What could be better for America than defeating those I mentioned? We need the jobs ANWR would produce. We need to stop sending so much money to Saddam and the Saudis. Nothing could help Israel more than if we did not send billions of dollars a year to countries which are trying to destroy Israel and whose nationals crashed jets into the WTC.
This thread is about Israel. This thread is about Jews. I am not supposed to mention that Jewish members of Congress oppose making America less dependent on Arab oil?
Get real.
So did a lot of other senators. By naming only the Jewish ones, you come across as an anti-Semite. Let's not have one standard for Jewish senators and another one for the rest. Anyway, I am angrier at the Northeastern Republicans who sided with the enemy.
To say nothing of Jeffords, who handed the Senate to Daschle. Last time I checked Jeffords is not Jewish. But to Mr. Lied it's all about the Jews all the time. And I would NEVER go to a thread about Jeffords and say he is a Christian who stabbed the GOP in the back. Just A BUM who stabbed us all in the back.
Plus, you have to realize that 2/3 of this is spent right here in the US and provides Americans with jobs and is ploughed right back into the US economy. It is not like we just send any of these recipient countries a cheque.
Lieberman is the one who, several days before the bill came up, said he would filibuster it. As I have mentioned, this thread is about Jews and about Israel. If this thread were about Affirmative Action, would it be wrong to mention the voting records of blacks on congress? Of course not.
I have posted many threads on the threat Daschle poses to America. I was the only one to discover this: SECURITY IN LOBBYING (Daschle's wife to work for Intelli-Check. A tie-in to a National ID?). I dug that out of FEC records. It was not and has not been reported in the major media. A quick look at the thread shows none of those attacking me here bothered to reply on it. So don't tell me I am a one subject poster. Those who are on all the Israel threads are rarely on threads which push conservative issues.
Anyone have a link to Free Republic? I think the management must have changed the URL. Every time I click on my bookmark, I keep coming to this forum.
How very liberal of you. Who the heck am I supposed to mention on a thread about Israel and Jews? Chinese? Hutus? Norwegians? Hualapai? Australian aborigines? Sicilians? Canadians? Southern Baptists?
Throwing around charges of antisemitism is as passe as charging people with racism and homophobia. Peope are sick of it.
LOL! See how dangerous Lieberman is? He scares kids who don't know he is a hypocrite and there was no way on earth he would ever cross his buddies in the entertainment industry.
It is tragic in a way. I'm from CT and I can see how he doesn't have a chance if he goes against the crowd.
Works for me. You did a service by reminding everyone about the six Jewish Senators, I reminded everyone about the other 40 or so Dems, PA Engineer reminded us of Daschle and Veronica of Jeffords.
See, we're all partners in helping Israel.
