Chris Matthews Slams Palin & ‘Right-Wing Coalition’ With Israel

Jews used to love Democrats, MSNBC’s Chris Matthews pondered Monday — What happened?!
“This coalition between the right and Israel… is not founded on personal friendships or even values,” Matthews said. “It’s founded on some kind of weird right-wing thing. They just high-five each other over there at the Western Wall and that’s it.”
“It’s not because [conservatives] like Jews or Israelis!” one panelist exclaimed.

Posted on March 21, 2011 at 10:36pmI support Israel for other reasons than theological. I don’t buy into the whole Dispensationalist ideology. But these clowns don’t bother to even understand how these Evangelicals relate to Israel and to the Jews.

Posted on March 21, 2011 at 10:33pmHe, like all the lefties are afraid the Jewish vote will switch over to the right.
In 2008 I watched a Jewish channel where a Rabbi was questioning Alan Dershowitz about trusting Obama. Alan assured him that Obama was a friend to Israel. I have heard recently he is very disappointed with Obama and his treatment of Israel. The Jewish vote is definately changing.

I want to know why they have turned on Isreal also. Maybe because they happen to “like” America and they don‘t or the fact that the right and Isreal both believe in God and they don’t. Because they are the only civilized part of the Middle East and don’t have the Muslim brotherhood. I guess maybe I have answered my own question, but I have really wondered why they have turned. Is it just because Obama doesn’t like them? Does anybody Know? I am serious I would like to hear a logical answer. Please Help.

Posted on March 21, 2011 at 10:07pmCheez – just found this at Investors.com:
We will help Brazil develop its offshore oil so we can one day import it.
We have noted this double standard before, particularly when — at a time when the president was railing against tax incentives for U.S. oil companies — we supported the U.S. Export-Import Bank’s plan to lend $2 billion to Brazil’s state-run Petrobras with the promise of more to follow.
Now, with a seven-year offshore drilling ban in effect off of both coasts, on Alaska’s continental shelf and in much of the Gulf of Mexico — and a de facto moratorium covering the rest — Obama tells the Brazilians:
“We want to help you with the technology and support to develop these oil reserves safely. And when you’re ready to start selling, we want to be one of your best customers.”
Obama wants to develop Brazilian offshore oil to help the Brazilian economy create jobs for Brazilian workers while Americans are left unemployed in the face of skyrocketing energy prices by an administration that despises fossil fuels as a threat to the environment and wants to increase our dependency on foreign oil.

I drive through Wyoming and see acres of windmills, but yet, I see most of them shut down. In California, they have blocked solar farms and we haven’t built any new hydroelectric dams in decades. we shut down water to grow our own food, and they are killing our education system.

Let’s say he manages to use up even most of the strategic reserves. They have made the drilling permit almost impossible for an American country to start new wells. He grants a permit to Brazil to drill and process in the Gulf – so we can someday import that oil/gas. The “youth” (read muslim and leftist extremists) in most of the Middle East is “rising up” right on cue.
So, almost all of the readily available oil is controlled by people who hate us. The countries that are friendly to us are in danger of civil wars – except Canada.
Our reserves will be gone. We would be able to import precious little. Our economy and our military would come to a screeching halt. This could become very ugly very quickly. I believe one of the ringleaders also happens to be our President.
That’s what I would call “Fundamental Transformation.”
