Like with Snowden. Petraeus gets a great deal for putting us at risk to impress his girlfriend but Republicans want to skewer Snowden for exposing unconstitutional spying because he wanted to protect the American people from it's own criminal government.

I supports Israel's voters and hope that they choose another party to represent their nation.

Likud does not meet the needs of he people of Israel, in my opinion.

I mean, I posted a video concerning Israeli reservists criticizing Netanyahu and their refusal to continue to carry out what they see as illegal surveillance and other acts which are clearly designed to demoralize and emasculate the people there in Gaza. But his policies only ended up demoralizing the soldiers instead. And now they've refused to serve at a time when Israel's army is having problems filling the ranks.

The post was pulled unceremoniously. And when I responded, mentioning that the daily pictorial post by EarlG was almost exactly the same subject. I heard nothing back. I was not surprised.

So now we are to gather that Netanyahu = Israel. And therefore all discussions concerning him as such, are to be relegated to the dungeon of Israeli/Palestine Horrors.

- It's really insidious, you know. How trying to protect one thing you end up destroying everything else in the process. Kinda like Israel is doing right now.

when I've gotten clobbered for something. Sometimes I can see I've dealt with something touchy but sometimes I have no idea. It's quite discourteous, in my opinion.

Tea Party radio host Andrea Shea King argued recently that Democratic lawmakers — and specifically members of the Congressional Black Caucus — should be put to death by hanging if they boycotted Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Tuesday speech to Congress.

The refrain is so damn old! They just regurgitate what they've heard on talk radio for years as facts. Not one deep or original thought among the bunch.

They are sleepwalking through life and we are stuck in the horror of a wide awake nightmare listening to this blather. That goes for the faux progressives who keep on repeating things to put down Democrats as if they had it all figured out.

That the same people who say this sort of thing said the same thing about Bush? Any criticism of Bush was unpatriotic especially in time of war and mean we hate America.

Funny how they don't play by their own rules.
