Chuck Hagel's appointment to defense shows the game has changed (Jewish Community aghast at choice)

Caroline Glick is not given to exaggeration and hyperbole. That's why this article she recently penned is so striking. She is sounding the alarm about the Obama administration taking off its anti-Israel mask in order to fundamentally transform the relationship with the Jewish state:

_______________________

Many in the American Jewish community are aghast to discover that President Obama is planning to appoint former Senator Chuck Hagel to serve as Defense Secretary. If you want the skinny on how Hagel has come to be known as one of the few ferociously anti-Israel senators in the past generation, Carl from Jerusalem at Israel Matzav provides it.

Meantime, all I can say is I don't understand how anyone can possibly be surprised. Shortly after word came out that Hagel is the frontrunner for the nomination, I read a quaint little blog post written by a conservative leaning commentator voicing her belief that Obama wouldn't want to risk his relations with Israel's supporters by appointing Hagel. But as Powerline pointed out today, this is the entire point of the nomination. Obama isn't stupid. He picks fights he thinks he can win. He hasn't always been right about those fights. He picked fights with Netanyahu thinking he could win, and he lost some of those.

But he is right to think he can win the Hagel fight. The Republican Senators aren't going to get into a fight with Obama about his DOD appointee, especially given that it's one of their fellow senators, even though many of them hate him. The Democrats are certainly not going to oppose him.

Obama wants to hurt Israel. He does not like Israel. He is appointing anti-Israel advisors and cabinet members not despite their anti-Israel positions, but because of them.

Ya know what,
Bibi had a chance to jerk the negros chains and failed to do so prior to the election
Them American Jews overwhelmingly again supported this worthless marxist punk who they knew hated Israel.
No longer my concern. If Jews don’t give a damn what happens to Israel neither do I./

The only thing I called you was a Catholic hater and since you consider it a cult, you admitted that yourself.

I wish you nothing but happiness in your search for Christ, and you are right I probably should spend some time learning to type better, but typing will not get me to heaven so why bother?

As for your advice on my faith I shall ignore it since you believe I belong to a cult.

“....It is written:
Genesis 12:3

“I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you...”

That's a fact.
....”

Then Obamanation is our punishment!!

Catholics United urges ‘gay marriage’ surrender
By Kevin J. Jones

Catholics United called for a halt financial support for “anti-marriage equality ballot initiatives” in Maine, Maryland, Minnesota and Washington, states where the issue is on the November ballot.

Catholics United Executive Director James Salt said advocacy against “civil same-sex marriage laws” has the effect of “pushing younger generations of Catholics out of the Church.”

This group called Catholics united is no different than Judas Iscariot

I fail to see why they claim to be Catholic.

They are all self-excommunicated.
