please remove yourself from the human gene pool.

A bit harsh, don't you think? Do you consider yourself a Christian?

I am an unabashed, proud supporter of Israel

Your screen name indicates you are a US citizen. Not an America First citizen unfortunately.

Israel is on the front lines of the war on terrorism, and has been since her inception.

Of course it is, Israel was created by the UN smack in the middle of a region full of arab Muslims who hate Jews. Try to differentiate between cause and effect occasionally.

Israel occupies less than 1% of the total land mass of the Arab world. Why is it that the Palestinians and those that support its terrorist regine INSIST on creating a Palestinian homeland by taking land away from a people who occupy less than 1% of the total land mass of the region?

I personally do not care who wins or loses. I just want my country and my taxdollars left out of it.

Don't bother, I know your answer. Thank God above you are not the final arbiter of who is a Conservative and who is not. I shall strive to never meet YOUR narrow definition!

Is your "final arbiter" limbaugh by chance?

Regards

J.R.

"So likewise, a passionate attachment of one Nation for another produces a variety of evils. Sympathy for the favorite Nation, facilitating the illusion of an imaginary common interest, in cases where no real common interest exists, and infusing into one the enmities of the other, betrays the former into a participation in the quarrels and wars of the latter, without adequate inducement or justification.

It leads also to concessions to the favorite Nation of privileges denied to others, which is apt doubly to injure the Nation making the concessions; by unnecessarily parting with what ought to have been retained; and by exciting jealousy, ill-will, and a disposition to retaliate, in the parties from whom equal privileges are withheld.

And it gives to ambitious, corrupted, or deluded citizens, (who devote themselves to the favorite nation,) facility to betray or sacrifice the interests of their own country, without odium, sometimes even with popularity; gilding, with the appearances of a virtuous sense of obligation, a commendable deference for public opinion, or a laudable zeal for public good, the base or foolish compliances of ambition, corruption, or infatuation."
