Negotiating with Palestinians

I'm forever told that we, as a nation (not to mention me personally) are way too supportive of Israel. The problem is Israel, they just won't roll over and die negotiate in good faith. If they did, all would be well. Palestinians would sit around with Zionists and sing songs and hold hands. Right? Well, no.

We will never recognize Israel. The Zionists have occupied our land like the Nazis did with France during the Second World War. Israel is a foreign element in the Middle East. Why don't the Jews establish their state in Europe?

That's the Palestinian government spokesgoon. That is not a position from which one can begin negotiating. The message is: We are either going to expell you or kill you to the last. There is no room for negotiation there. Keep the wall, they're turning on each other and sadly it looks like things are going to have to get worse before it gets better.

I haven't heard that. If true, it still isn't their policy, it was an aberration. Unlike, say strapping explosives on people in order to blow up civilians.

What does the power of the Israeli lobby have to do with anything?

That's the thing that I think left and right disagree on for Israel as well as the US. The Israelis know they're fighting for their very survival. Without their powerful military and our funding/weapons, they'd be dead to the last. I'm not joking when I say that. Literally the Palestinians would roll over them in a bloody wave.

Leftists seem to think the Palestinians objectives are limited to a state and some sort of "right of return".

Similarly, Pelosi and her ilk don't believe we are at with with Islamic fundamentalist terrorism. I do. I firmly believe that if we give up, they'll kill us. If we attempt to retreat within our borders we'll put up so many walls our society will no longer be free and the rest of the world would be a very nasty place.

Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project

Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project . Thank God they're going after this guy. He's been so brazen with his porkbarreling and the whiff of corruption around him has been ripe enough to smell from here. I'd rather have a 100% democrat run Congress if they were ethical. Term limits. One term for Senate, two for the House, one for the President. Some fear that would increase the power of lobbyists. Simple, ban any former members from being lobbyists and limit lobbyists to terms as well. (I'm not sure how that would work. Just a thought.) The other answer is transparency. No earmarks without a floor vote. No spending of any kind without a floor vote. All spending committees (intelligence aside) open to the public and recorded and available on the web.

First, fourth, what's the difference?

Black Pope could follow Barack Obama's election, says US archbishop : "The election of Barack Obama as the first African-American US President could pave the way for the election of the first black Pope, according to a leading black American Catholic." Except that we've had three black Popes already. The last one was 1700 years ago. You'd think he know that. I knew we had them in the past. It took me all of .000048 seconds on Google to find that out.
