Well then. That settles it. Israel is an evil socialist state! We must stop our support of it!

Really, so now people who support the Constituton, understand and rally for personal responsibility and personal industry over Socialism and reduced liberty are a "cult"?

It must really P.O. progresives that there are some people whose freedom CANNOT be bought with eloquent words and political promises of social welfare programs.

Step away from the Kool-Aid!

with the money we spent of bailouts/stimulus we could have put a solar electric system on EVERY single family house in america.

Oh, WAIT! I know, anyone unwilling to consider Israelis as being somehow superior by birth will immediately be branded an anti- Semite, right?
