Posted on May 24, 2011 at 12:02pmWe criticized Israel when they bombed Iqaq’s nuclear facility the french were building back in 1981..Ten years later,during the first Gulf War,we changed our mind about that.That war could have had a different outcome if Iraq had nukes then. I was there in Saudi Arabia back then and was glad what Israel did before.

Posted on May 24, 2011 at 11:55am@@ctsa said,
“… but if every response is “nonsense” or “CBO is garbage” it’s kind of a dead end right?”
That depends on the REASON the response is “nonsense”, etc, because it very well might be – but you have to wait for the explanation in order to find out.
@@ctsa said,
“Ryan plan removes ”govt tinkering” – i.e. Medicare – and as result immediately jacks up costs by $thousands”
While I‘m not sure that Ryan’s plan removes Medicare, I happen to be all for it, if it’s true.
But assuming he‘s right about Ryan’s plan, it would only jack up costs if government continues to impede the free market. A doctor’s labor is not our right to procure without his consent, and so health care is not a right.
And to the point that “The Story of Stuff” tries to make about people having different motives for doing things, while corporations only have profit in mind: Corporations are where people work when they WANT to do something for profit; Hospitals are where doctors work when they WANT to ply their craft FOR PROFIT.
Again, health care. is. not. a. right.

Posted on May 24, 2011 at 12:17pmMr. Netanyahu,
Remember ISLAM calls for the destruction of the Jews and Infidels. I wish you said that. You stated truthfully that Judea and Samaria contains the heart of the ancient Jewish homeland. This confirms what Yasser Arafat said, “there are NO Palestinians, just Arabs”. What country gives up part of their homeland to a FAKE people whose name is invented to destroy the history of the Jewish people?
The Islam infected Mohammedean marauders cannot/will not win because their lies are refuted by common sense, history and archeology back to NOAH. What…Abraham existed and Noah didn’t? WRONG! The Seven Noahide Laws rule and always have. The Ten Commandments, the 613 Laws, Hammurabi’s 600+ Laws…Its ALL from the SAME ROOT! (Example: How did humans know to cook their meat and not eat it raw? Noahide Law #6)
Time to tell the TRUTH. The Jewish People and our extended family relations go back a lot further than 4,000 years. Modern archeology FINALLY has the missing pieces to reassemble the actual history of humanity on planet Earth. It turns out, the Mohammedean mindset is an ANCIENT disease after all. The scourage of history.
This Historic Israel National News Radio Interview http://www.marcrubin.com/judean-eve.ivnu and accompanying four-part interactive web essay “Finding Noah” lays bare the “Truth of History” and who we are, one human family who unfortunately has a “bad seed” that threatens to destroy the world…again
