And men like Romney (to say nothing of Harper) are so entrenched in their religious bigotry that they can't see the words for the trees. The State of Israel is simply the most unlawful, expansionist state in the world. It has treated the Palestinians as nothing short of animals and it continues to steal the lands of others on a daily basis. It owes its existence almost entirely to financial and military aid from the US and men like Romney are dispensationalists who don't care a fig for justice or equality so long as the expansionist militarism of Israel (a proxy force of the US) is supported.Kirbycairohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17528654183160305877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35117130.post-30969712918638880452012-07-31T10:00:39.749-04:002012-07-31T10:00:39.749-04:00These days, Philip, when Romney opens his mouth, h...These days, Philip, when Romney opens his mouth, he lends credence to the notion that you can possess two Harvard degrees and still be the village idiot.Owen Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06464860078574618579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35117130.post-81276005348018163452012-07-31T09:43:47.916-04:002012-07-31T09:43:47.916-04:00I find Romney's glib cultural analysis that sa...I find Romney's glib cultural analysis that says Israeli succeed because of their culture while Palestinians did not ( and will never, I suppose) Even a modestly educated person who cared to make himself familiar with the Israeli Palestinian conflict could never make such an outrageous claim. It could be viewed as racists twice over. Those Jews really know how to make money; and Muslim culture is inherently inferior. The man is ignorant and lives in a World of his own inhabited by the super rich who see themselves as blessed by God with money and privilege.<br /><br />I wonder if he will return to the US and repeat this cultural argument in that country's minority communities (black, hispanic, muslim, asian, native american) They are poor and disadvantaged because of their inferior culture. This blaming the victims is unworthy of anyone who aspires to be President of all the people and leader of the free world.Tossing Pebbles in the Streamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04354065895900279070noreply@blogger.com
