[On the Left, we have leaders who, when given the facts about strategic options, decide they don’t like the facts and make new ones up...]

Man, is not the whole left living in delusion? They are enamored and immersed with fables.

An interesting article on Israeli politics, particularly the disfunctional right.

[kindred]

Personally, I believe that Netenyahu needs only right wing parties to stabilize his government and Livni and Kadima is as left wing as todays GOP is in America. He should resign himself to the fact that Israel needs to keep every inch of land it has and take more and more as the Lord Jesus provides them and set up Israel government over all people who live within Israel. Screw the damnable left wing defeatists who want to surrender to all enemies.
I hate politics because it sacrifices right ways and therefore destroys that which should be done. Like 8 years of a liberal rino like Bush who destroyed the Conservative base in his pursuit to get along with fascist democrats and now the communist democrat party is in power. Conservatives should always do the right thing, politicians of the left wing are worse than communists worldwide.

I don’t get it, if BN is such a strong defender of Israel, why not form a pro Israeli guv? I also think BN is weaker than Ms. Glick wants to admit...this situation is what the USA would have with a McCain Presidency...not that it is not better than the odious BHO.

FOR ALL of its strategic wisdom and clearheadedness, the National Union is a political home for delusional politicians. In all of its various incarnations - from Tehiya to Herut to Moledet to the National Union - the party has never been able to understand what it means to govern. It has never been able to recognize that politics is the art of compromise.

Compromise with evil produces evil, so it's always a tough call how much evil one is willing to tolerate. How could they remain "right all along" while simultaneously compromising with those who are dead wrong?

This article seeks parity in search of supporting a stupid premise of moral equivalence where there is none. There is nothing in a parliamentary system that precludes National Union from cooperating with Habayit Hayehudi, so what's the big problem? As things are, there are two voices for the media to marginalize and ignore instead of one.
