Why does the US provide foreign aid to anybody when it cannot even pay for its own social programms anymore? Where is the outrage by the Tea Partiers over that?
Spending is spending.
I never saw a Tea Party rally where the people were saying "stop the spending and taxing except for the following....."
That myth is perpetuated throughout the left.
What is wrong with expecting the federal government politicians being expected to follow the Constitution?
I think we can agree both sides are at fault. But I find it ridiculous that we pay Israel billions and give them billions in military equipment so they will do what is in their best interest for a few weeks. Were paying them to stop fighting the neighbor as they keep extending their fence into the neighbors yard.
I mean the world agrees the settlements are illegal but we do nothing to stop it but pay them. And the moment those couple weeks were done they were waiting to start building within hours.
Now Israel Is always gonna have people who hate them like Iran but that is new excuse for them stealing land.
Settlements or not we shold Not be sending Billions to Israel, first off we cannot afford it and secondly they have shown more than once that are more than willing to ignore our interests or requests when they do not agree with us. I have no problem Selling military equipment to Israel but they have turned into nothing more than a people living off our handouts, ie a Welfare state, something real conservatives are supposedly against. They know how to fish so stop giving them fish for free.

When did Israel become a Territory of the United States???
A more appropriate question might be, when did the United States become a territory of Israel?
Judging by many of the responses here, there are those living in America who for whatever reasons, would place the interest of Israel before that of their own country or at the very least, equate the interest of both nations as being one and the same, and nothing could be further from the truth.
....equate the interest of both nations as being one and the same....
Yes both are interested in being able to travel from border to border without being shot at and living a quiet simple life. Do you see a problem with this??
Semper Fi as stated by me, my son and my god sons currently in Iraq for the 8th time.

You'll need to show proof of that nonsensical statement.
Why would we stop support for the only democracy i the middle east and support people who are more like Hitler in their statements and actions.We may have to live inthe same world with them but certanly don't have to support them.

So since my family members haven't yet spent the 8 tours in the Middle East that yours has, this qualifies as what? A touchy feely emotional plea to subvert reason on the basis that your opinion is contradictory to nearly every military and political strategist to walk through the pages of history?
Are you implying that Muslims want to live loud lives and get shot at?

Just as soon as you qualify this nonsensical tripe from your previous post.

Of course they aren't, we're not allowed by the jew-haters to ever get the focus off of israel.
To the jew-haters, if we were giving israel ten cents, but the arabs $1 trillion, that would still be unacceptable.
But then neither is electronicintifada's or moveon.org's talking points nonsense, either. Try to think for yourself for a change.
For someone who suggest to others that they 'think', you have an odd manner of showing how you do.
