If Jenkum has posted something that is (actually) anti-Semitic in another thread, then by all means, call him out on it. But at least in the OP, he didn't post anything that was in the slightest way anti-Semitic. Anti-Zionist? Yeah. But being opposed to Zionism, especially radical Zionism, is
not anti-Semitism. More than a few Jews (especially those in the U.S.) are opposed to Zionism. I believe in God, but I'm not all that religious. But with that said, I'm not "anti" any particular religion. Not Islam, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism... or Judaism. You can worship a rock, for all I care. But don't tell me that because you worship a rock that you are more "special" than I am, that your life is worth more than mine (or anyone else's) or that I am somehow obliged to pay for your country's needs, wants or defense. And I don't care who claims to be our friends. I can walk into a strip bar with a fat wad of $100 bills and everyone will be my friend too. Every girl will be my "girlfriend"... until my cash runs out. I don't give two shits and a piss about claims of friendship when we have forked out $100 billion +/- to Israel since the mid '70's. I'll be Bank of America's best friend forever if they'll give me
half the deal that the Cranston Amendment allows Israel. Hell, I'll drive around and guard their branches. I'll hold umbrellas for the tellers when it's raining outside.
And just like Jenkum, it angers and disappoints me that American politicians have their heads popping up like a Jack-in-the-box when the question of loyalty, allegiance and devotion to Israel comes up. These money grubbing, bribe taking sons of bitches NEED to make sure that their loyalty, allegiance and devotion is to
this Republic, first and foremost. But I don't see it. We barely have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of, if not for the Chinese floating us loans. And yet, there stands the Cranston Amendment.
All I know is, it sure as hell would be nice to have
our players playing for the home team... for a change.
P.S. There are other issues that I don't agree with him on, but foreign policy and foreign aid is DEFINITELY one area where I fully agree with Ron Paul! :nanner:
