Bill in PA, I have never lived in Israel or visited there but I do know the trouble they have faced for many decades. I think you should move to Israel and live there for a year before making such comments about their people.

Israel did not want to take additional land but were forced to in order to provide security for their population. The country is approximately 6 miles wide at its wides point and 35 miles long (just off the top of my head). It is accessible by military artillery and missiles from any direction and many men, women and children have died because of the shelling as well as human bombs.
Now, I am not Jewish at at best I would be classified as a Deist. What I am is a retired military man who has spent time...

Whom do they benefit? The rich and powerful; the bankers, the military establishment, etc. Under Regan the Banking was deregulated and we now have a worthless currency. Under Carter transportation was deregulated and the doors opened for Monopolization; forced acquisitions, forced mergers and forced bankruptcies, and small businesses struggle with 1980 freight rates today. Before Obama's efforts to place the poor in their own homes the housing market was fairly strong. Before Clinton the US Economy was moving along but still on the downhill slide. His opening the doors to trade with China allowed for one way traffic of goods with a one way out flow of capital to China.
Should we look back even further? JFKennedy was assassinated...
As a Retired Army, Vietnam Veteran and one who has read the US Constitution, the Nancy Pelosi's and Barbara Boxer's of the world must realize one thing; even if US Citizens have been extremely apathetic and complacent, they can read and learn. It seems people are finally waking up all over this country.
As for Mr. Obama, it is a travesty that he used the Privacy Act to disallow proof of his eligibility to hold the office of the President. Clearly, many in our government are guilty of treason and should be in jail. However, I and many others would be just as happy to see Term Limits and no retirement benefits for elected representatives. No more Professional Politicians. Perhaps then, we can have people who really want to serve...

Thanks Wally, I am usually a moderate but - Yes, take this murderer and punish him in such a way that his religion will not allow him admittance into his promised land. A good shot of pig blood would do the trick and then let him die a painful death followed by a burial in pig guts. Capital Punishment? Yes and well deserved.
