...except when it comes to Israel. Obviously you don't think we have a problem with their undue influence. On the other side, I believe we have lost control of our country. AIPAC reigns over both parties. The American citizen's interest have become secondary to those of Israel. Any discussion of either party's policies is really just absurd, because there's a large gorilla in the room who decides what we get. Patriots like Murtha & Kucinich & Hagel get shunted into obscurity. Your points are just drivel. We're pissin in the wind.

i would say in the anti-war movements of my life true pacifist constitute a honorable but small percentage of the war specific anti-war movements.
But whenever a latent militarist as yourself wants to go into militant mode all those not of your mind then become naive pacifist, in that facile flip-flop so typical of you frauds that hide under the cloak of liberalism and have made liberal a meaningless word in the language americana.
i am glad to see you are giving up your ruse of being a liberal because frankly it is "the liberals" like you that have always(since at least 1960, actually) caused me to say i am a progressive and am a radical.
Phil Ochs in his CLASSIC "Love Me I am a Liberal" exposed the hypocrisy in so many that identify themselves as "liberals".Max


P.S. But in mentioning Phil, i do so with sadness, as he came down with Bi-Polarism of a severe nature and came to a tragic end.
Here's to you Phil, i tip my hat.
