The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

In my post, I did bluntly talk about the Right and Israel. Sadly that part is true. They blindly, slavishly shout "Israel!" because many of them think that God can't defend his own real estate. I guess Jesus can't afford to hire Wade the Security Guard for $20 bucks an hour and free slurp-ees to guard God's city or country or whatever.

BUT....what the Right doesn't realize is they are giving cloud cover to MANY MANY MANY Democrats who also are fine with Israeli injustices, and American funding of it. These Liberals get to pretend they are mad about "killing Palistinians! but they are only loud about it if Trump or Bush are in the White House.

So again, the Righties - get used. They would not lose ONE VOTE if they dumped Israel....tehy might actually gain a few in places like Michigan.

The last time anyone on the Right lifted a finger on Israel - was pre-NeoCon season. Bush Senior and James Baker did it after the Gulf War.

Ask them how that worked out for them.

Israel has more influence, and meddles more with America than Russia ever did.

Democracy? Yep. Strong, studios, intelligent, creative people with a history to revere? YES.

But I'm tired of being owned and used by Israel. And I hate that it's my side carrying the water....and in the process giving cloud cover to many democrats who merely get a free ride on this one.
