So.....am i wrong here, or is this not a story anybody's interested in? I mean if Sen Reid came out and said something similar, would that be new's?? At the very least I expected some negative comment's, but not the " Oh well " from everyone....Guess Y'all are busy.....

Kind of a silly statement to make, true. Think maybe, though, that it might have been a bit of, oh I don't know, hyperbole?

'Course, it matters not. For better, or for worse, the United States and Israel are joined at the hip for the foreseeable future. Both good and bad will come of the relationship, we'll just have to deal with it as it comes.

Well the bad is easy to pick out. What would the "good" be?

1. MUG? Not familliar with that term.

2. The vast majority of protestant Christian theologies do, in fact, teach that siding against Israel is a fool's errand. The stance is Biblically justifiable, too...

Isaiah 54:14
Any alliance that forms against you (Israel) will not be my doing; whoever tries to form such an alliance will fall because of you.

Just one of numerous examples from the Bible of vows from God that no one who stands against Israel shall recieve His blessing or rewards.

3. I respect her for stating a view publically and standing behind it openly. It's a view which obviously she's going to take massive flak over, yet she demonstrates a great level of conviction and that's an honorable trait not seen often in today's politicians, most of whom backpeddle at the slightest hint of controversy over their opinions.

how can anyone respect those dirty satanist words

Bicent76, (shakes his head)

this is the best in quality we have to offer up in MN?

With that I have nothing else to add.

We should be worried about the state of the union..

Depends on your beliefs, actually. If you're among those who believe the Bible, the "good" is something less than tangible in this life, but promised in life to come. (I'm starting to realize that the differences between Christianity and Islam as to actions and promises may not be so disimmilar... Hmmm, always an odd feeling to recognize personal understanding and growth as it takes place.) If you are not among those who believe in that, then I guess the "good" is that the US always has a guaranteed usable airbase close to the Persian Gulf.
