The opposite of ideology is the American-invented philosophy of pragmatism.

Holy Cow Insite! Mellow out! It's the holiday season! Peace and good will to all mankind.

Have a drink. Be merry. Spread good cheer. Hug your fellow prissy-pants.

I'm Jewish and I really don't care for Christians so you won't find me celebrating.

Insite, light 6 candles tonight and mellow out.

Plenty of conservative men want to cheat on their wives and some actually take action.

Maybe the reason conservatives hate Clinton so much is, he cheated with their wives (you know conservative women can't get enough of weak, nerdish guys).

I'm obviously not Jewish, just pissed off those who defend the Jews on this board get suspended.

I guess that's what happens when Liberals take Jesse Jackson seriously.

Insite, seriously, get a grip.

I am jewish and Straw was suspended for the inslut that was included in his comments, not for defending jews or Israel, which plenty of people have done on this board without insults and without being suspended. Indeed, neither jews nor Israel were really attacked on the thread in question, it was American support for Israel that was attacked (or rather posited as one of the inspirations for Al Queda, which it certainly is, though no the main one). I happen to think that America should support Israel, while at the same time working to get the two sides to sit down and negotiate a settlement.

I will be lighting six candles tonight and will be very mellow.

Perhaps there will be an amnesty release of all currently banned usernames tomorrow.

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays, all!

"Perhaps there will be an amnesty release of all currently banned usernames tomorrow."

Be careful about rewarding terror, Dave.


A very merry Xmas to all you Christians and secular tree-decorators out there, and a mighty chag sameach to my fellow Judeans, Red Sea Pedestrians, and assorted tribals.

I am now prepared to answer Ashear's ramble since I have a few minutes to spare.

You strike me as the type of Jew who would have marched with Martin Luther King Jr. or even welcomed Hitler's rise to power. In both cases as we now know these people (Germans and the African American leadership)have turned against Jews and everything they represent.

My suggestion, take your religion to heart, understand opposing anything Israel does means you are asking your fellow Jews to risk security and survival. As "sitting duck" Jews have all to often learned, failure to react and respond is the difference between life and death. Lucky for you and yours it's a situation you have yet to be confronted with. Just remember, those in Israel can't say the same thing.

Equating marching with Rev. King to supporting Hitler!

Unbelievable!

...or even welcomed Hitler's rise to power?!? I have read a bit of history, and I don't recall too many Jews welcoming Hitler's rise to power. Certainly many others both in and out of Germany saw Nazism as a defense against Communism, but I don't recall too many Jews taking this point of view.

ok, bad example.

My point is this..Any Jew who says peace with Arafat can be worked out are the same people who believed Hitler wasn't a threat. People like Ashear.

Insite, PLEASE don't equate Dr. King with Hitler or Farrakhan. Your making a really narrow minded, racist comparison just on skin color.

"Ashear said "inslut" "

Insite said "have all often learned"

Insite, nice crash and burn on the thread--really laid out a lot of good reasons for people to agree with you. Must have felt good to get it off your chest.

Insite wrote: "You strike me as the type of Jew who would have marched with Martin Luther King Jr." Most people would consider that a compliment. The fact that Insite thought it was an insult is, well, "insiteful".

holy cow!

Insite, Ashear, Cato Nova, Nohero and the rest. You guys give new meaning to the word "insane". This may be the most useless thread to date on MOL.

Nohero, are you responsible for this garbage?

I guess I haven't been clear. All I'm saying is if you were on a dark street, what would scare you more: A black man or a German man?

I say Black man.

Everything went to hell. And you came back.
