Hey City Zen!

Apartheid without shame or guilt Israel News | Haaretz Daily Newspaper. Will people still call Jimmy Carter anti-Semitic after this poll? After the Arab spring, we can see a future of democratic Arab states and a non-democratic, Apartheid Israel. True friends don't let friends drive drunk; if the US were a real friend of Israel, its government would have the balls to prevent this situation.

"Israelis themselves … are openly, shamelessly and guiltlessly defining themselves as nationalistic racists [...] It's good to live in this country, most Israelis say, not despite its racism, but perhaps because of it. If such a survey were released about the attitude to Jews in a European state, Israel would have raised hell. When it comes to us, the rules don't apply." (Gideon Levy)

How soul-less liar becomes "craftsmen". Conservatives are really masters of the Orwellian double-speak. In summary, Brooks advocates for president someone who can say one thing to be elected, and do another to govern, plain and simple. So, who best for a president than a total flip-flopper who says whatever is needed at a particular time? In Portugal, we call people like this "floating turds"---as in how a turd floats along with the ocean waves...

And , BTW, Brooks is completely disingenuous on this article: As if Obama did not "craft" Republican ideas to attempt bipartisanship (Romneycare, a debt reduction plan with Boehner that included mostly cuts and modest revenue increases, etc. etc.)
