"you might be listened to by some of the brainwashed folks"

Posted this a few days ago on aother thread..

I think Israel needs to reassess their relationship with us. They think we are their best friend (true) and they are our best friend (false). In reality, they are more like our best friend in the 4th grade, while our best friends are probably fellow 5th graders England and Canada and maybe even France, who taught us how to kiss by sending us Lady Liberty, bearing a gift of McDonald's French Fries from the king of Ireland. I think.
Traditionally, while a friend of I, and at least willing to show up behind the backstop after school and hold their coat while they fight the Arabs, whose back is being guarded by Da Bear, we have attempted to be a somewhat honest broker of peace, especially with Carter and Clinton. Ike even had the sense to stand in the way and say "Not today, kids", when Iz, with our bestest buds E and F, went for the Suez Canal in ?'56. We give almost as much money to Egypt, and gave to the Palestinians until they bowed to our will and had an election and the wrong guys won, so we stopped the money. They may still think they are in that dark aberration known as "The burning bush returns in our lifetime? Who knew?" It is written that a burning shrub spoke unto the Likkudite, saying thusly " Howdy, Manishevitz Wine Folk. I bring a message from Dog. Call me George, BTW. Dog sez ignore what I tell the world in public, and go forth and settle in the land".

Iz has to understand that Peace is a better friend of ours than they are. We won't back them up if they challenge Iran to a fight. Those days are gone. Will we knock them out to protect them from themselves if they start a fight, to prevent a gang rumble? I dunno. We should at least warn them off. They need to think of the consequences to the entire world if they attack Iran. The school is bigger than just one fourth grade class.

Notyetayahoo is not to be trusted. Sharon wasn't above sparking the second intifada for political gain before an election, killing Clinton's last peace initiative for all time, not to mention a few people. Notyetayahoo makes Sharon look like a saint, I think. Wouldn't surprise me if he was making plans to attack Iran right now; and who knows about Obama?

We've got ways to pressure them. We give them lots of aid which we can stop. We vote for them on every UN resolution; we could even just abstain a few times. We could even suggest a boycott until they come to the table prepared to make for some concessions.
We need others to pressure the Pals, but we can pressure our young fourth grade friend a bit.

Wright Says 'Them Jews' Won't Let Obama Talk to Him
The Rev. Jeremiah Wright says he doesn't have any regrets over his severed relationship with President Obama.

Wednesday, June 10, 2009

In a racially charged interview, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright said that President Obama hasn't spoken to him since the two parted ways last year, because "them Jews aren't going to let him talk to me."

He suggested White House advisers were keeping the two separate.

"Them Jews aren't going to let him talk to me. I told my baby daughter, that he'll talk to me in five years when he's a lame duck, or in eight years when he's out of office," he said, according to Virginia's Daily Press newspaper.

Wright said he doesn't have any regrets over their severed relationship, according to the article.

"Regret for what ... that the media went back five, seven, 10 years and spent $4,000 buying 20 years worth of sermons to hear what I've been preaching for 20 years?" he said.

Obama left Wright's Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago following the very public controversy over his racially charged and anti-American sermons.
