The whole place if full of god lovers of all sorts but
this poll indicates they really would like to shoot over anything else you can damn well bet on it. Of course they love their Limbo's and
Shameity's back there a whole bunch. I'm sure the non existent cloud being they wail to every Sunday is very proud of his followers.
Should Israel take military action to prevent Iran from building nuclear weapons? Yes 77%
No 19%
Undecided 4%
Is "The Messenger," which published the poll, a sectarian rag? Looks like it to me: "Jewish?" If so the replies to the poll would be no particular surprise. Even if it is stupid/dumb/stupid....
ReplyDeleteOur "special relationship" with Isreal is honey for the evangelical bees and a proven money-maker for the pols of both parties. AIPAC has incredible power considering the number of Jewish voters in this country. No other religion comes close and with their alliance to evangelical/fundamentalist types they block meaningful progress in the Middle East. It is the money these groups raise thru their temples and churches that scares the pols. What scares the permanent gov't are the nukes we helped them develop and the knowledge the will use them!!! For 35 yrs of my life I've felt this mess required Isreal to admiit they are not the only chosen people at the table; this has not happened. I'm no friend of Iran/Muslim/Arabs but they are the red-headed stepchild who is now on the brink of using the gun he found under his dad's bed. Can you really blame him for waving it around the room and threatening the adults after all the beatings they administered.
ReplyDeleteI am so tired of these fuckwits..I can't even begin to tell you how they jerk my chain and cause me to scream and holler like a mad woman.
ReplyDeleteThe military industrial business that Eisenhower warned has had, and will continue to have many unintended consequences. They have promoted the Pentagons attitude of roaming the world looking for a fight since the sixties and they have made the bed that the United States must now lie in.
ReplyDeleteMost likely Iran is seeking atomic status based upon their distrust of the western world and rightly so. We have let our government abuse power, be it military or economic to enrich those profit ahead of our nations security. It is understandable that the abused strike back.
We have squandered our nations revenues on beating up any that oppose whatever the and whomever opposed the profit taking of the oil companies, arms manufacturers or the many corporations who profit on war.
Everything has consequences.
Something like that Woody.
ReplyDeleteGreat comments guys-thanks. tb
