They seem no different from fundamentalist of any religion. And they have much control there, which we here tend to ignore. I wasn't very aware of it until a year or so ago when I was on the phone with an orthodox friend in Irsrael and his teen son started yelling in the background about his being on the phone with "that goya". I'd never heard the word spit out as such insult. ouchies. and only a year before that, the son has been anxious to get on the phone with me and play his guitar and sing rather bad renditions of rather bad 70/80s heavy metal American tunes. Don't know what happened.

Things aren't looking good with Bibi coming to power - 'limited sovereignty' for Palistine? what an overbearing putz. '2-state solution sticking point for Likud-Kadima coalition' By Reuters Differences over Palestinian statehood are likely to scupper Benjamin Netanyahu's efforts to forge a broad government with his main rival, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, an official of his Likud party said on Thursday. "There is across-the-board agreement on Iran, Hezbollah and Hamas but there is a big gap between Kadima and Likud on the two states for two people. It's unsolvable," Silvan Shalom, a senior Likud legislator and former foreign minister, told Army Radio. Prime Minister-designate Netanyahu plans to meet Livni on Friday in another attempt to recruit her centrist Kadima party, which backs the Palestinians' quest for a state. He wants to shift the focus of U.S.-sponsored peace talks from thorny territorial issues that would set the boundaries of a state to shoring up the Palestinian economy. Netanyahu has said any Palestinian state must have only limited sovereignty and be demilitarized. Livni has said Kadima would not join a government that does not commit clearly to a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. As Israel's chief negotiator with the Palestinians in the outgoing government, Livni has been at the forefront of a land-for-peace process whose declared aims are to achieve a viable Palestinian state and security for Israel. "Unfortunately the answers we are receiving from Kadima leaders is that there is no chance of her changing her position. And it seems that tomorrow she will say a final 'no'," Silvan Shalom told Israeli Army Radio. Asked about Shalom's remarks, a Kadima spokeswoman said Livni's position was unchanged. haaretz.com

The right wing has been provoking this fight for a long time and the liberals always laid down, except for FDR and JFK. Clinton laid down. Not Obama. He is going to take the fight to them. Good, about time! I have been itching for this fight with the right wing for a long time. Mano y mano-lol. I have had to watch them screw over everyone my whole life. Joe Macarthy, Nixon, Reagan and the Bushies. And read about Hoover and Coolidge. The right wing is stupid, nuts and mean, and it is time for the American people to see them for what they are! And Obama reminds me of Swan in "The Warriors". Type of guy you want leading you into a gang fight-lol.
