Israel's perpetual giving in to "Land for Peace" and "Roadmap to Withdrawal" for decades has finally decided me that Israel's role in the Middle East is simply a "shrinking nation into nothingness" which enables both the West (USA, U.K., etc.) and East (China, Russia) to play "Good Cop-Bad Cop" to divide up the Middle East between their two Power-Crazy rivalries. The East has always been against Israel, as the "Bad Cop", but the "Good Cop" USA has time and again revealed its Game Plan with the East which puts Israel last and Muslim nations first. First pretending to support Israel, the West soon became a supporter of shrinking Israel via Land For Peace and Roadmap to Withdrawal, both under Republican Administrations (Eisenhower, the...

The Fed or Federal Reserve Bank, is a Private Corporation interlinked with the U.S. Government in a Liberal Socialist-Capitalist alliance, or as I call it a Billionaire-Govt Frankenstein alliance (BGFA for short). It has no business being there, and should be thrown out ASAP. Osher Doctorow

Big Government is also a self-serving Bureaucracy, especially the "Foreign Intervention" agencies from the State Department to the Defense Department and CIA and even the Army in the Military (the Air Force, Marines, and Navy tend to be much less self-serving, except for people like Admiral Mullen). The President also tends to be self-serving way beyond Majority Representing, and nobody is worse than Obama in this regard, whose increase in Afghanistan troops was an attempt to win Veterans and Military people to vote Dumbocrat in 2010, and whose interventions in Middle East "Demonstrations" is a direct attempt to Re-Elect him in 2012 as the "Domestic Dictator who Liberates Foreign nations from their Dictators". The Swiss avoid this...

The claim of the article, that last month's USA Today/Gallup Poll showed that Americans largely side with the Government workers, needs to be investigated (the claim is that only 2 out of 5 people are opposed to their Unions). If it's true, Republicans need to focus on more Direct Job Methods rather than only cutting money, including Closed Borders against Job-Stealers, No Trade with the Job-Stealing Enemy (China, Russia), No Outsourcing of Jobs abroad, Throwing China and the Job-Stealing U.N. out of the USA and out of our Financial system, urging the Public to buy goods and services from Self-Employed people rather than from Big Govt or Liberal Big Corporations, return Manufacturing back to the USA, etc. Osher Doctorow

Prize-Winning article, in my opinion. Government Unions also include Public School Teacher Unions and Public University Professor Associations, all of which are the most dangerous kind and most difficult for the Public to control and eliminate. I should add that the motivations which causes people to form Unions, like the motivations which causes people to form Governments, are often perceived threats from outside, but what people don't realize in doing this is that Power Corrupts. Governments and Unions tend to become Self-Serving Bureaucracies subject only to themselves, their salaries, their retirement and medical benefits, even their vacations - or for Obama and Biden and U.S. Secretaries of State and Defense, ESPECIALLY their...

"First" is apparently interested in pushing down Patriots' replies to "Last". MoveOn.Org? Something worse (Homeland Security, Liberal Billionaire-Govt Frankenstein alliance)? As for "war criminal Rumsfeld", he was ousted in a "coup" by Obama-fawning-bootlicker Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, who became Secretary of Defense late in the Bush Administration by getting Admiral Mullen (who never met a Gay or a Treaty with Russia that he didn't like) and 5-6 Army Generals to criticize Rumsfeld for trying to cut the money that we were pouring into Iraq and Afghanistan while we went broke at home, and for urging us to use the far more effective and less costly Special Forces and AIr-Naval Bombardment rather than the...

As for the U.K. Conservative Party, that is in power now, it should be renamed the U.K. RHINO Party or more precisely the U.K. CINO Party (Conservative in name only). Osher Doctorow

Ian, your name suggests that you're from the U.K. or Ireland or Australia, and the U.K. and France are currently considering a No-Fly-Zone over Libya because their "favorites" the Demonstrators are losing to Khaddafi. Curiously enough, the "Demonstrators" turned out to be armed in Libya, by "defecting Troops" (ha!). So if the South rebels in the USA against the worst Dictator (Obama) in USA history, that's a "good Demonstration" as long as no troops rebel to join the "Demonstrators", but as soon as troops join the Demonstrators and Obama cracks down on them, China and Russia are justified in establishing a "No-Fly-Zone" over the USA. "Liberal Logic" is APE-LOGIC. And we elected an Ape as President, no question about it. Osher...

Funny, but true! Liberals don't know what words mean, but they don't even know what ideas mean, which is why Liberal "rules" are so farcical. In the current Libya Farce, Liberals claim that "Demonstrators Rule", except when the Demonstrators lose, in which case we establish a "No-Fly Zone". Notice that the Demonstrators turned out to be armed, by "unknown" persons (by Obummer, the Unknown Dictator?), but Khaddafi isn't allowed to use aircraft to knock them out in his own nation. So if the South rebels in the USA, the USA shouldn't be allowed to use aircraft to knock them out? Only tanks and Artillery? Actually, the South USA happens to have retained most of the Intents of the Founding Fathers and Judeo-Christianity, while the...

Our Founding Fathers would do that. The USA Public has degenerated so much since the 1700s that the USA would be more likely to vote to return to be a British Colony than to impeach the worst Dictator in USA history and one of the worst Genocidal Dictators in world history. He has given heart attacks and strokes to millions of Seniors and other Old people by incessantly opposing their main beliefs including Judeo-Christianity and the Intents of the Founding Fathers.
