Lieberman Is Rattling The Nutroots
Lieberman is the most powerful man in the country behind George Bush. And any Democrat activities that risk losing Iraq and/or threatening Israel will rightfully send Joe to the Republican side of the Senate. And that has the nutroots livid! More here. Good. Maybe the liberals will finally understand why the American people are not for rash acts of political revenge when it comes to foreign policy.
We have already lost Iraq. And let Joe expose his dual loyalty to the max, and by the most conspicuously unethical means–it might wake a few people up.
The poll you link to takes viewers to the Kos site. Where 50% of those voting said “Joe is just manuevering to keep his seniority.”
I believe things are different. I think the BRASS RING is up for grabs. As both the insiders of the GOP (who could care less about majority status, and MORE about earmarks, are adrift because of James Baker’s return to Bush’s white house.)
If people liked James Baker’s approach, they’d have voted for Bush the elder in 1992. Not only did the “prize” stay with Clinton. He kept ahold of the brass ring in 1996. Dole’s “stabilization” as a GOP insider helped NO ONE!)
And, at this go-round? Elizabeth Dole was put out there to help the GOP. Are you surprised she failed? I’m not.
DEBKA refers to “SCOURCED EARTH” as the reason Iran is trying to threaten Israel with nukes. Iran thinks a lot of Jews will run away. Leaving the country wide-open for arab take over. Nobody in their right mind sticks around to have a nuke explode over their heads.
And, for some reason, in Iraq, we never found a general like PATTON! Where’s the belief that “you MUST grab your enemy by the nose, and kick him hard in the butt?” PATTON won WW2, in Europe, over hitler. But a lot of the turkeys that side-lined him during 1943, just prolonged the war effort, then. And, created way more casualties.
Bush? What if he’s more of a GOP insider? And, could care less about Americans, and more about the Saudi princes who grab at our “table?”
Yes, I’m disgusted. But all you do when you cause your troops to lose battles, is give rise to what PATTON said. And, today, PATTON is far more admired than he ever was in DC. By those be-ribboned idiots who think they can control outcomes from their swivel chairs.)
Whose gonna get the power in the new Congress? Not anyone of the players who are now fighting for their “rights” to occupy chairs. Not even Bush.
McCain? Perhaps. The opportunities for him are now there. Joe Lieberman? What would tossing the “one seat difference” to the GOP do? YES. It changes who HEADS the committees! And, yes, Lieberman is gonna function to help Israel. And, to help our troops. How he does it is still unknown. And, how the “base” of the GOP recovers from James Baker, is also unknown.
How is it we can support other nations in the World and not be accused of “dual loyalty”. I don’t find support for Israel troubling.
Who’s “we?” And what other nations? Support for this or that
nation can be unwise and yet not exemplary of dual loyalty.
Actually, I find fanatical heretical offshoots of historic Protestanism
eg. the premillenial dispensationalsit “evangelicals'” support for Israel
more troubling than that of the dual loyalists, a term which only refers to Jews. These “evangelicals” are supposed to be America’s
healthiest religious sector of the populace and yet they lust for Aramgeddon in which scenario Christ purportedly rescues Israel ,
and converts Israel en masse from a Russian or Chinese invasion.
All of which is a ludicrous wrenching of Revelation from its
historic context, a heresy by traditional Christian exegesis and
a sign America’s most religious are world weary cultists with
a dangerous eschatology.
Ken, in Texas we have a word for ‘premillenial dispensationalsit evangelicals’……….but what the hell it is is anyones guess.
Carol:
Oh for heaven’s sake, Rumsfeld was a GOP insider himself.
Informal name, Limerick,”Christian Zionists.” A logical-spiritual
impossibility if you ask Luther, Calvin, Zwingli…but who’s
asking?
Thanks Ken! Here all this time I thought I was just a Zionist. Look buddy, bottom line to your abandonment of Israel is MILLIONS of dead. No, not dead. Murdered. Butchered.
Next statement from you is…but the Israeli’s are doing THAT now!
Horsepotatos!
You and your EU friends might be willing to sacrifice Israel in your bid at appeasement but myself and millions of my countrymen are not. Dream on Kenny.
Limerick
It’s not appeasement, rhyme without reason. Forcing Israel off
the West Bank and Samaria is following the same UN edicts that
the US did in ousting Saddam from Kuwait. And as Syria’s help is needed to pacify Iraq and Lebanon, better get ready to give back the Golan.
stickitken love that name.
Ken you said:”Actually, I find fanatical heretical offshoots of historic Protestanism
eg. the premillenial dispensationalsit “evangelicals’†support for Israel
more troubling than that of the dual loyalists, a term which only refers to Jews. These “evangelicals†are supposed to be America’s
healthiest religious sector of the populace and yet they lust for Aramgeddon in which scenario Christ purportedly rescues Israel ,
and converts Israel en masse from a Russian or Chinese invasion.”
I would ask you to interpret that, but I won’t because I’m sure you can’t. It’s just a bunch of elitist drivel.
Hundreds of thousands of Americans have died and served in the military to give Ken the right to say that. Too bad he is wasting the opportunity. He prints blather that he himself has no clue, he just lifts it from some Berkeley prof and passes it off as his crap.
But I’m sure another American will die within another day or two for Ken to maintain that right.
Thank God that some Americans love America
I love the way these progressive elites think they understand completely all the different sects of the protestant religion. They think they understand them better than the Christians themselves.
Barbara, Ken doesn’t understand them at all. He just comes up with all that stuff in an attempt to impress someone with his ‘insight’. The more he says, the more he reveals about his motives.
I’m sorry your theological illiterates don’t recognize basic evangelical eschatology when it is available about any Sunday on “gospel TV” in the best selling “Left Behind” fictional
series of LaHaye and in Falwell Holy Land Tours wherein he refuses to visit Christian Palestinian refugeecamps for fear of offending Israel
and affronting God.
This ignorance only puts a religious shade on the same politicial ignorance you pro-Israel fanatics demonstrate and show why the US
should not be a major determiner of Mideast political reality:it’s people are naieve in the extreme.
Ken, you were wrong on one point there.
Sorry Ken, I am only able to read the Tora. Did you say something about being left behind? Not in Tora. Don’t understand.
Have another bagel Ken.

This is the alliance helping drive America to ruin. Perhaps rhyme without reason can glean I’m onto the heresy showing America is
really not all that religious–not when your most devout worship as pagans another state.
Now we can add LaHaye and Falwell to the people Ken doesn’t like. I thought he was a Buchanan fan. Arn’t Buchanan and Falwell on the same page.
What the hell is eschatology? I grew up in various churches a long time ago and never heard this word. But, then, Ken sounds like a textbook anyway.
Barbara
In a word, no, Buchanan and Falwell have never been allies.
Eschatology is doctrine related to the end of the world. It is
a profoundly sad reality that millions of American Christians
have fallen for the heresy that God is regathering Jews to
the Holy Land to usher in Christ’s second coming and Armageddon,
and that Israel must be supported on theological grounds.
