Hit him again.
The roost was mighty spectacular.
May you never experience a moment's happiness or a day without pain.
You don't have to tell me I'm full of K***. Tell everyone here how George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, (those anti-Americans), were full of it, when they cautioned us, (you and me), to avoid "entangling alliances", and pursue "friendship and honest trade with all nations, entangling alliances with none", (like Israel, Iraq, "Nato", "UN", etc etc etc).
It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world; so far, I mean, as we are now at liberty to do it; for let me not be understood as capable of patronizing infidelity to existing engagements. I hold the maxim no less applicable to public than to private affairs, that honesty is always the best policy. I repeat it, therefore, let those engagements be observed in their genuine sense.
That doesn't seem to translate to "Dump Israel quick before they hit us again" to me.
This web site is dedicated to grass-roots conservative efforts, rolling back decades of largesse, etc. There's never a lack of big-government bashing on FR, and rightfully so. Our government has shown an endless reserve of statist intentions that anger many here. It's not outrageous to suggest, then, that foreigners get equally tired of seeing the US show up with an airstrike, a demand for change in another country, or both.
To acknowledge the possibility that our foreign policy has definite potential consequences at home is not the same thing as saying that it's a good thing that the WTC is now gone, or that America got what was coming to it. The people who died on 9/11 were no more responsible for the suicidal tendencies of the terrorists than they were for the sun coming up that day. But Americans will now bear the burden domestically of the fat-headed fed.gov interventionist policies that give militants the fuel to fire their jihad.
Of course much foreign obsession with America is just plain old fashioned jealousy, or fascination with all the relative freedoms and "stuff" that we have. People who are dissatisfied with their own state of affairs will always find a big, powerful, rich scapegoat. Like your average Democrat voter, I guess.
As of last Tuesday, we are all now combatants, like it or not, on our own soil. I'm resigned to the fact that there will probably be more days like last Tuesday, and the current crop of Muslim harrassment will be child's play by comparison. There's no small chance that this will turn into a world war, drawn down religious lines. I'm personally prepared to fight, to the extent one can fight with a guy who's carrying a bomb in his baby carrier or whatever, and possibly die before this is all over. Anyone who has similar convictions should be able to state the obvious about US foreign policy without being accused of sedition.
And right now, I really don't care which are which.
Good point. Nuke 'em all until they break. Then subjugate them. Re-educate them. Remove all inappropriate material and symbols from their culture. And when they've been broken utterly and rebuilt in a different form, maybe we'll have finished the job.
Note that he does not say how Washington's commitment to fidelity to "existing engagements" is compatible with dumping Israel. Instead he conjures up the specter of "foreign influence" by which I suppose he means to suggest that the Elders of Zion are running the world.
My rule is that I don't actually speak to people who are excusing terrorists and defending the enemies of our country, though I do sometimes comment on them to other posters who show good sense and a bit of decency. My Daddy taught me that you can't win a p*ssin' contest with a polecat.
Oh, cry me a river.
What about the arabs we also supply with advanced armaments?
"...to subjugate the Palestinian people" my ass. Israel "subjugates the Palestinian people" the same way America "subjugates Charles Manson."
Sometimes it's actually right to do the right thing. You Big-L cowards would pass by a burning wreck on the highway because it's "none of my business, and besides, I'd be late for work."
And, you'd pass by a rape in progress because, "If she hadn't worn a short dress, she wouldn't have provoked the rapist." -- which, I might hasten to add, is precisely the argument raised by the mullahs when their followers engage in a wave of rapes in the various countries they infest.
You would have us sit back and watch as animals tear apart innocent humans, because if we stepped in, we might make them angry.
I saw a joke I'm sure you'll appreciate:
Two Jews -- a husband and wife -- are standing facing a trench in a nazi concentration camp. Behind them is a nazi guard with a machinegun. The nazi pulls back the bolt on the machinegun. When the husband hears the sound of the gun being cocked, he mutters "lousy stinking nazi son of a bitch," at which point the wife turns and hispers, "Shush! You'll make him mad!"
The article at the top of this thread is nothing more than the Stockholm Syndrome on crack. And the people who rise to its defense are evidence of a need to reinstitute HUAC.
You might be right about some things, but this is not one of them.
I suggest you give those words of advice to your brother bin laden.
I also suggest you try giving them to any American on the street, without the protective shield of your keyboard to hide behind.
How's that old saying go?
Oh yeah, now I remember: Rot in hell, traitor.
I suggest reading some of the treasonous rantings of the more vile posters before coming up with a knee-slapper like the above.
Hit him again.

I give them to any moaning, brainwashed, bloodthirsty imbecile who exhibits his -ignorance? arrogance? how do you explain this?- Where folks, Yanks mostly like yourself, who love any war of aggression as long as it's planned and executed from up there in NYC, DC~ wherever you get together to scheme up your wars and your invasions and especially lately your bombings. You just love a good bombing as long as you're bombing Moslems in Iraq- Christians in Serbia, Pharmacists in the Sudan- Now I guess you want to slaughter thousands- millions? in Afganistan huh?
As ye sow so shall ye reap.
You did unto others Northern Scum- Now they're doing unto you. How do you like it?
1) bin Ladin wants to RULE the World so isolationism won't stop him
2) It was our "Intelligence Agencies policies of ISOLATION" which was the 1st error that caused this mess.
