I'm British and thoroughly ashamed of our justice system. It's equality gone mad. Why should we treat criminals like human beings? They're scum and should be treated as such. Tax payers millions should be invested into hospitals to help the worthy not to help set the criminals free to offend again. Why are politicians supporting them. Crazy and stupid! Please grow some balls, develop some morals and stand up against this.

Do you support it as long as nobody wants to pray to Allah or Buddha? Or do you only think it’s a good idea only as long as everyone prays to YOUR God?

That's why Hillary Clinton has anti-war protestors howling at her public events. That's why she has drawn an anti-war primary opponent, Jonathan Tasini, who appears to believe that Israel is a terrorist state. If those rumors I've been hearing about a Hezbollah/Hamas/DNC merger are true, we might be in for a slightly longer fight.

On the one hand, they claim Israel is so strong and has the best weapons so it can avoid civilian casualties if it really wanted to....but on the other hand they claim that Hezbollah won a great and decisive victory over Israel.

So doesn't that mean that Hezbollah now have that same duty to avoid ALL civilian casualties? After all, they are even stronger than Israel now, right?

If you don't know anything about this I would urge you to do a google search and read the testimonies of POWs in Vietnam.

What’s that you say? I shouldn’t use the word "retarded"? I’m sorry, but you’re infringing on my First Amendment right to free speech. If we are allowed to say, write or do anything we want under the First Amendment, why do we have slander and libel laws? Is it because these laws are only intended to protect liberal beliefs from those who seek to expose them for the inanities they are? No, these laws were put into place to prevent people from abusing their rights.

Also, why does the First Amendment apply to flag burning, but not to public prayer? Is it because religious speech inspires hatred? And flag burning inspires what? Love, peace and grooviness?

They had poor intelligence on Hezbollah, IDF troops were not sufficently trained or equipped. They expected an easy war of a few days, that many Lebanese would welcome Israel's bombings and be glad if Israel got rid of Hezbollah. Israel's government did not evacuate elderly and poor citizens in northern Israel; they had to stay in harms way for one month! The result of the war: they lost 155 citizens, united their enemy.

Can anybody think of some other ways Israel is becoming like the US in it policies and actions? I know there are other parallels. No slurs, please, just ideas.

IN FAIRNESS, this would happen if a democrat were in office - I think both parties are slimy like this.

**Just look at the video - don't read the opinion column around it.**

I also usually don't swallow the swill Olberman offers, but I was thrown off by his saying that the coincidences can also connect to new food chains opening as well.


In any case, I thought it was a pretty interesting insight into how everything (especially fear) is now a political tool.

Time to vote Libertarian.

I liked Al Gore, and think he should run again for 2008.
I thought that Gore and Kerry would have won in 2000.
Liberman was a bad choice, now I know why.
Will why not a last chance, I think he can won.

"every time we do something you tell me America will do this and will do that . . . I want to tell you something very clear: Don't worry about American pressure on Israel. We, the Jewish people, control America, and the Americans know it."

I'm going to say they are by far the most emasculated of all Americans,if not all humans.They have no solutions except getting others to go with their "program",even it it walks all over our first amendment rights.Consider:

Im coming out of the closet. i am proud to fly the pflag

I dont know what a pflag is,but S H I R A Z must,he put it there.
I am being honest when I say I never really thought the radical right could stoop so LOW.

Even I'm wrong once in a while,so there.

And once again,the manliness of honesty is a "liberal" virture,not a
"conservative"(victorian moralist) one at all.Again.

Two related questions for intellegent comments only:

1. I have reasearched widely and the Nazi's did not go after the blacks. was it because they thought the race was just so docile?
or am I wrong? Have the blacks grown a chip on their shoulder since 1940?
2. Nowadays you get the 'anti nazi league'. OMG! what are they supposed to do when the war ended 60 years ago? where do they get there money from? The taxpayer I bet.
