		<description>&quot;So you are saying that all the other four hundred and thirty members have no integrity and have been “bought and paid for” by AIPAC and the Zionist lobby?&quot;

No, dipshit.

We are saying that 430 members of the House are cowards.</description>

		<description>Andy,

You have an excellent point regarding Saudi Arabia. It is a disgrace that we call the Saudi Arabian government our &quot;Friends&quot; and it made me sick to the the way President Bush rolled out the red carpet and was happy to hold hands with King Abdullah. Recently in Saudi Arabia a 47 year old man was allowed to marry an 11 year old girl. This marriage/child molestation was allowed because the girl&#039;s father owed money to the 47 year old pedophile and the girl was given to pay off the debt. Also, let us not forget that 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudi. We had the wrong war. We should not have invaded Iraq, we should have invaded Saudi Arabia. They are the true enemy.</description>

		<description>Guess who&#039;s coming to the presidential inaugural?
  
  &quot;President-and vice president-elect Barak Obama and Joe Biden will be there - and so will Ariel Lang, a 22-year-old resident of a small settlement near Jerusalem, who has been officially invited to attend the presidential inauguration in Washington on January 20. 



 But Lang, who immigrated from Chicago to Israel as a child and thinks that US President George W. Bush &quot;wants to destroy Israel,&quot; voted by absentee ballot for Republican presidential candidate John McCain.&quot;

		<description>Funny how Bush was never interested in democracy when it came to Arab countries like Saudi Arabia that did what he wanted them too.</description>

		<description>A man was just convicted with broadcasting hezbollah&#039;s cable station in ny.
Jewish groups in candada got al-jeezera banned from cable and made it a crime to broadcast it.
It is illegal to US  businesses to boycot israel. 

Are these the freedoms they hate?</description>

		<description>Stalin certainly was responsible for more deaths. He PROBABLY killed more Ukrainians then Hitler did Jews, (not that you will hear much about that). How many people have heard about the Holodomor?</description>

		<description>Israel just banned about half the arab political parties from elections. As with bush&#039;s &#039;crusade for democracy&#039; it comes with fine print.</description>

		<description>Tim, please, use some common sense: the state of New York is home to more Jews than Israel itself, so OF COURSE Paterson is going to attend a pro-Israel rally.  He is, after all, a politician and as such will pander to whatever constituency is critical to his political survival and that will advance his ambitions for power.  If New York&#039;s population consisted of massive numbers of self-confessed child abusers, Paterson would no doubt be appearing regularly at NAMBLA conventions, despite the fact that he might personally believe that these people and their organization are despicable scum of the earth.   Simply stated, his political ambitions are a much higher priority than his integrity (or what little of it any career politician can possess).</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;There will come a time when the American people will experience such cost in tolerating the ownership of their “public servants” in this and similar ways that they will rise up en masse and dismember the system that has made it all possible. And they won’t stop until every last one of these vermin are brought to account.&lt;/i&gt;

John, I do pray with every fiber of my being that you are correct.  Unfortunately, try as I might, I simply do not see any signs among the general population of either the awareness of the extent of the decay, or a level of collective rage sufficient to foment action.  While it is theoretically possible that the incoming Obama administration, in continuing to build the imperial and unaccountable presidency that began with Lincoln and has so far peaked with Bush Junior, will enact an extra-constitutional fiat so egregrious as to ignite the spark of revolution, it appears that the public has been so thoroughly brainwashed and conditioned to accept and depend upon the status quo as to make mass rebellion unlikely.  The &quot;divide and conquer&quot; strategy, mostly in the form of a warfare-welfare state that selectively picks the pockets of the productive to benefit the unproductive (the latter being infinitely more numerous than the former and showing its gratitude at the voting booth each November) has worked too well, with so many Americans being dependent on the State for a key part of their sustenance as to make killing the golden egg layer out of the question, even after the exhausted creature ceases to yield fruit.  

In the end, look for a psychologically battered population to exhibit political Stockholm Syndrome to the very bitter end, even as the nation disintegrates as a result of the political class&#039;s malicious incompetence and arrogance.  (And to bring this rant back on topic, what sweet vindication for the oppressed and battered Gaza Palestinians to watch Israel&#039;s golden egg laying goose get cooked!)</description>
