Ted Cruz Gets Boos From Christians by Praising Israel[W:329]

Brich said:

You forgot to tell us that the group of Christians Cruz walked out on are not evangelical Christians but Arab Christians. Kinda makes more sense now huh?

Oh sure I do. Just saw the movie about it last year. Great flick--they are always so much better when based on a true story.

Let's see, the hostage crisis was rather precipitated by our overthrowing Mossadegh wasn't it?

I forget how many died in that hostage taking, but I'm sure the number is less than those sailors killed on the Liberty.

This is the s*** I'm talking about. People like you and Cruz immediately jump to the conclusion that you are either 100% for Israel or 100% for their total annihilation. :roll:






You have no proof they were anti-semites.




Shows how much you know. I never voted for the guy and oppose almost every action he has taken.

By your logic then, if I oppose affirmative action then I must be a racist.

...And they can defend themselves. But I do not support having my tax dollars going overseas to support another country.

Henry David said:

No, I get my knowledge from many sources, hahahaha.

Sometimes comes the accurate (at least in parts) movie as to historical data.

I'm thinking you get your knowledge from Fox or MSNBC? Or maybe Wikipedia?

Geoist said:

No, it is the same logic.

I oppose racially-based affirmative action. Not because I hate black people or other minorities, but because I believe such point systems should focus on socio-economic status. According to people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, that still makes me a "racist."

I also oppose federally funding Israel and really any other country. Not because I hate Jews but because I believe taxpayer money should stay in the US and benefit those who pay the taxes. According to people like you that makes me an "anti-semite."

Congratulations, you are the conservative equivalent of a Jesse Jackson.

I'm not saying we support Israel 100%, only that people like Cruz think we should.




And we should oppose that, as well.




They could, but they don't. They feed off the teet that is the US government.

again.. why have allies?..

I dont care about your social squabbles on AA...

PS.we are "not funding " Israel.. we are paying to have an ally in the region that can be trusted and one that get lots of perks from having ..unlike many others we just flush money to

you know nothing.. youre simply arguing to make sure Israel stays vulnerable..

Geoist said:

Depends on what you mean by "ally." I have no problem trading and being friendly with countries like Israel. And when in the (hopefully rare) case of war, forming an alliance to fight a common enemy is understandable. But the situation in Gaza is for Palestinians and Israelis to settle. US should butt out.



Lol, either you don't get it or you just want to avoid reality. The analogy is to illustrate the ridiculousness of your claim. Not everyone who opposes Israel's actions is a bigot. Get over it.




Paying and funding are the same thing. You are just being silly, now.

Geoist said:

No, I'm arguing to allow Israel be independent and decide its own destiny. You neocons, on the other hand, want to keep Israel dependent on US money.

Then you're not really a libertarian and you're simply a liberal hiding behind what you see as a more acceptable label.
