To some extent? Bothers me and millions more...to the fullest extent!
Why, don't you think Israel can stand on it's own two feet?

So you want to tell people what to put in their bodies? What makes you think you have the right to do that?

I am against drugs...for ME but who am I to tell folks what they can and cannot do to their own bodies?

People will do drugs whether they are legal or not. They will always find a way to get their hands on something. They snort Vicodin (legal drug) Condeine (legal).. ANYTHING to get high. Let them!

Once we lose our rights to judge how we should live our lives (without harming other people and committing CRIMES against others of course) what is the point of living?

What's next? The government is going to tell you what you can and cannot eat because they say so?

If we don't put an end to this out of control government, things will get much worse.

This reminds me of this video of Chris Rock I watched on YouTube. It is named "Chris Rock Supports Ron Paul" (or something along those lines) It is actually pretty funny.

As Americans know little about world history,I am guessing most do not realise that Israel fought and won almost all of it's wars with little to no aid from the USA.

I'm not sure either...but people have called me a 'blood hound'...and my sniffer tells me to consider those letters. Is it because Paul actually is an "antisemite"?
Israel is not the only country Paul does not support and wants to cut aid to. If we cut aid to Israel, I believe the will be more compelled to negotiate peace, because the U.S. won't have their back. They are tough guy's as long as they have our support.

It is interesting how people seem to DEMAND the right to tell others how and what they can do...simply because they think it is right.

Of course they do not like when it is something they want to do that is being infringed,THEN it is an outrage.....

The thing with freedom is it might result in things you personally do not like happening,but then you aren't forced to participate...you simply cannot tell others what to do.

Again, what difference will that make? Is the goal to have a Republican in office? Isn't that sort of a silly goal?

I don't know how we are helping Israel now - giving aid to their enemies and interfering with governments, destabilizing the region. This somehow helps?

If we stopped helping Israel and also stopped helping their enemies, they would probably have a net gain.
