1. Mississippi - 44.5% 2. Georgia - 42.5% 3. Alabama - 40.3% 4. Florida - 39% 5. Arkansas - 38.8% Here is a link with a overall outlook (along with a map) of where a whole lot of these non-payers live. Come election time, a lot of these non-paying leeches will still be voting Republicans if we go by the trend of the last three decades or so........

Is Barack Obama a Tory?
For those unfamiliar with the word Tory, it's a nickname given to the British Conservative party. The article is interesting as many are seeing Obama as a true Conservative like those European parties unlike the American Conservatives who they see as more an Objectivist party.

I seriously would have used more insulting terms if someone is demanding that I fight their wars for them. Imagine if Japan demand America send the Pacific Fleet to guard the Senkaku islands? That's noise too.

I am hoping that just like "Obamacare", Obama wear GOP insults on this matter like a badge of honour. Pre-emptive attacking Iran is not what the voters want, and Obama should know that.

I still don't like them very much at all nor our Prime Minister Stephen Harper, but I kind of acknowledge that they're probably the right party to have in power during this recession. |

It isn't like I don't care about the people of Israel, because I do, but when you think about it, most Americans who care so much about Israel, they are Christians, and they care so much because of end of the world prophecies, and when you put it that way, well, that sounds scary! There are political reasons, too, but the underlying reason why we support Israel so much is because of prophecies about the end of the world.

They already saw that bombing the scientists was a bad idea - it almost turned the moderates and the Green Revolution activists against them. This requires careful treading.........and making the Iranians blow up their plant themselves.

Iranians will never self destruct for as long as Israel threatened to attack.

As far as the economy side Harper would act much like a Republican ( and a Republican than want to work on the provincial juridiction) if he could. @ Aegir, both the Israeli and Iranian threat are pretty much created by each other.

Israel has no aspirations towards a dominant position in the Middle East, it's far too hated by everybody else for that; what it wants is that no other regional power could become dominant enough to threaten its very existence, either by nuclear threat or by rallying the other nations in the Middle East the way Nasser's Egypt did. If anything, Iran is the power that is trying to (re-)assert its historic role as one of the centers of Middle Eastern power politics over the oil-soaked Gulf states/Saudi Arabia. It's also almost as isolated as Israel compared to the Arab mainstream, being Shiite and Iranian, hence the jealous and, IMO counterproductive support of its few allies like Hezbollah, Assad, and (not quite as counterproductive) the Shiites of Iraq. To blame Iran's geopolitical ambitions on Israeli "ambition" is wrong. To argue that it was motivated partly by fear of Israel's military might, and greatly aided in this aspiration by assuming the mantle of anti-Israel hatred, would be more correct. |
