Now that the General McChrystal media frenzy has subsided and there has been time for talking heads, politicians and others to evaluate, pontificate, eviscerate or praise him, from everything I can tell, McChrystal was a dupe. A dupe, witting or otherwise driven by his dedication, ambition, love for the Army, the troops and the country to the height of Army combat power as Commander of the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan. Other than the profile in Rolling Stone, pieces on the internet, news and opinions on television, one knows little else about McChyrstal but perhaps that will change.

Noted in an earlier essay misgivings were aired about Army Chief of Staff, General George Casey’s flawed judgment as it pertained to the Muslim jihadist terrorist’s attack at Fort Hood. Casey said,

“Our diversity, not only in our Army, but in our country, is a strength. And as horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that’s worse.”

The air virtually reeks with the p.c. of that statement. One marvels that Casey is still Chief of Staff after such an idiotic remark which in plain English meant “we’d rather have the diversity of America-hating Muslim jihadists than the lives of thirteen dead soldiers and grief imposed on their families.” One wonders if heroin from the fields of Afghanistan is reaching the highest levels of the Pentagon and White House.

On the heels of Casey’s imbecilic judgment, one is forced to question McChrystal’s for a number of reasons:

1. He voted for Obama; then
2. He admitted voting for Obama;
3. If McChrystal didn’t know what he was getting into; or, worse
4. If he knew what he was getting into;
5. He allowed his attitude to permeate subordinates and evidently did not counsel or restrain them (a leadership failure in addition to a judgment failure) unless of course it was “exit strategy” for McChrystal; and,

1. He struck out when his judgment allowed the “enemy” to follow him around essentially unfettered for over a month; but, again it may have been part of his personal exit strategy.

Some have suggested as above, that he knew what he was doing and was actually using it as a way out of the morass and impossible situation created by the “Uncertain Trumpeter-in-Chief” and his band of leftwing loony tunes. One writer even suggested that McChrystal’s was a ploy to draw Americans’ attention to the situation. Both are possibilities, we’ll find out if and when McChrystal writes his memoirs. It could be that he is more cunning that Obama.

No professional military commander would willingly allow his men to be put into a losing situation except to win a vital engagement that was worth it. In the present situation, unless the U.S. is willing to spend the next twenty, some assert thirty years developing the Afghani infrastructure and that Nation’s resources, there is zero or near zero chance of success unless we define our way out. Yet it is precisely that position in which McChrystal allowed himself to be placed by Obama with orders to implement the counter insurgency strategy, complete combat operations and train the Afghan Army to be ready to take over Afghanistan’s security in under 18 months while significantly increasing the risk to his men by a set of White House dictated Rules of Engagement that were heavily weighted in favor of the enemy. Whose side is Obama on anyway? Never mind, we know, and it isn’t the U.S. side.

The extant insurgency strategy for Afghanistan is from all indications noble, but the ability to carry it out successfully on a 2011 timetable is impossible absent a miracle; miracles happen, but Afghanistan is not a good candidate for one.

In agreeing to replace McChrystal one suspects that General Petraeus likely told Obama that he would agree only if it included complete command of the war effort or otherwise, he would decline the assignment. Hopefully Petraeus will succeed in turning it around with brilliant skill and most likely, much prayer and divine intervention. But given what we know, it is more likely that he will come up with a politically correct solution that will allow the U.S. to extricate itself with “honor” while defining that as a “win;” and which upon departure would probably not last.

As “eye wash” as such a departure would be, it would allow Obama to “wax eloquent” about his victory and about giving the Afghan people a “chance;” and, the political left would swoon at his every word.

And that would be a pile of international relations “reset” hocus pocus, bovine scatology that would stink to high heaven!

In my last column, titled “Useful Idiots” Are Freedom’s Enemies I made a comparison between Alex Haley’s “Roots” to the larger context of U.S. Americans having a need to know and understand this Nation’s roots. A number of readers reminded me that Haley’s book, although portrayed as an authentic investigation, was a work of fiction mixed with its own version of reality. They are right and I was wrong for not making that distinction clear and I appreciate having the issue called to my attention.

That noted, the following are a number of reflections and some logically founded conjecture and opinions about Obama’s “most transparent administration in history.” It is intended as both informative and entertaining even though some of the conjecture might well be accurate.

“Hope and Change!” “We need it because it’s Bush’s fault.” “Yes, we can!” “Rahm, call Blago for me, you know what to do. Right. Yes, I want Valerie for the Illinois U.S. Senate seat I vacated; just make sure I have deniability.” “Law, what law? Everybody makes deals like Sestak, Valerie and Romanoff;” golf, basketball, smoke.

Smoke, golf; trillion dollar stimulus, “needed because of Bush’s tax breaks for the rich;” smoke, golf, smoke, golf, golf, “Why not Valerie?” “He wants what? Cabinet appointment?! We’d better cool it Rahm.” Smoke, look pensive.

Four hundred billion omnibus spending bill, “necessary because it was Bush’s fault;” smoke, golf, smoke, golf, golf, golf, act cool.

W.A.T., otherwise known as the “World apology tour,” “all because of Bush’s go it alone policy;” golf, smoke, basketball, golf, smoke, golf, basketball, golf, golf, smoke; “Bush alienated the world.” Act humble. Smoke.

Air Force One over Manhattan for photo op, “the girls’ joyride has gone too far;” smoke, golf, smoke, “besides, it was Bush’s fault.” Act cool, golf.

“No more War on Terror — there are only angry jihadists because we used to support Israel. We don’t want to offend Muslims, let’s call it ‘Overseas Contingency Operation;’” “the 9-11 attacks were Bush’s fault, the ‘green jobs’ Czar said the attacks were an inside job;” party, golf, party, sneak a smoke, golf, basketball, golf, party.

“Rahm, cram through universal health bill, begin raising taxes right away, hold off on benefits until 2014, raise taxes on the middle class; huh? What are you saying, I promised not to raise taxes?” “We have to raise taxes, our spending is unsustainable,” “we need another stimulus,” “we’’re out of money.” “Very difficult choices ahead on deficits.” “We definitely need another stimulus.” “What? The North Koreans want how many trillions? That’s a great crisis. We can use it as an opportunity to push the Congress to pass ‘Cap and Trade’ so we can raise taxes some more to pay them. Yes, and to help with Obama care and even cover some of my other deficit spending; also, let’s put some strong arm on BP for more money.” Golf, party, smoke, basketball.

“By the way, Rahm, I want the power to pull the internet plug on anyone who opposes what I am doing to America.” “How are we doing at the Blago trial? What? That S.O.B. is doing what? Pointing fingers my direction? I thought I told him I wouldn’t stand for that!” This one must be Cheney’s fault. Golf, basketball, smoke, snort.

Increase National Debt Limit to 13 trillion dollars, “it’s Bush’s fault for giving tax breaks to the rich;” basketball, golf, smoke, party, golf.

“I need to clear my mind,” “that’s Bush’s fault too;” sneak a smoke, golf, golf, basketball, party, give media the slip; golf, party, swat a fly during interview, act cool; Declare the U.S. is not a Christian nation then declare that the U.S. is one of the largest Muslim nations in the world. Ignore Netanyahu but roll out the red carpet for Hamas; “Rahm get me four hundred million for Gaza to arm themselves against the Israeli aggressors, oh? You’re a Jew? I never noticed.” “Let’s see, whose fault is this one? What the hell, Bush used to be President, you pick which one, it’s Bush’s fault;” party, golf, smoke, midnight basketball.

“Michelle, let’s take a ride in Air Force One to clear my mind.” “What do you mean, ‘where do you want to go, sir?’ Kenya of course, to visit my real relatives since I am a son of Africa, my roots are there, somewhere, or is it Hawaii, I forget.” “We have to have prior clearance? Don’t they know that I’m President of the United States, that the buck stops with me and I can do whatever I want?” “On our way, tell China that I want to meet to discuss their human rights violations. Pause. What I meant to say was, discuss our human rights violations in Arizona against illegal immigrants.” “What? I’ll have to wait? For what? Because Bill Clinton is at the World Cup? What’s that got to do with it?” Smoke, party, basketball, helo to Andrews A.F.B., snort some cocaine, smoke a joint, ah, relax. “Have you sent Churchill’s bust back to England yet?” “Be sure to include my latest speeches for the Queen, I know she’ll be impressed.”

Afghanistan going south, “that’s definitely Bush’s fault,” fire McChrystal: “McChrystal was a rightwing plot to embarrass me. What? McChrystal voted for me?” Golf, golf, party, golf, “the economy is on track,” “the loss of eight million jobs is permanent, pause, but we need more illegal immigrants;” “it’s Bush’s fault;” golf, golf, party, sneak smokes.

Hire Patreaus, fly to Florida to visit white sand beaches with cleanup workers bussed in for photo op; fly to Ohio for ten minute speech, “who cares about forcing workers to take a day off?” Impose onerous banking regulations; golf, basketball, sneak another smoke, golf.

Threaten to grant amnesty to illegal immigrants by Executive Order; sneak two smokes, party, golf, basketball.

Do nothing about open southern border for eighteen months; “Bush didn’t secure the border, why should I have too?” Refuse to meet with Arizona Governor until outcry becomes very loud; “Where is Bush when I need him to blame?” Golf, basketball, party, sneak three smokes.

Meet with Arizona Governor, promise twelve hundred troops, but do not plan to deliver, “Bush’s fault;” smoke, “The Gulf oil spill is right wing talk radio’s fault;” golf, smoke, basketball. Sue Arizona for its law that’s designed to defend itself. “We can’t have States defending themselves, who do they think they are?!” Hold the border open as hostage for “comprehensive immigration reform.” Sir, what is “comprehensive immigration reform?” “That’s granting amnesty to illegal immigrants who are already in the country so that they will always vote Democrat.” “Senator, look, if I seal the border, you people won’t have a reason for comprehensive immigration reform, get it?” Golf, smoke a joint, golf, basketball.

“All the problems are caused by Republicans, ‘tea baggers,’ Palin’s, and Blago’s fault. I need to clear my mind;” golf, golf, golf, smoke, smoke, basketball, smoke, golf, pause. “On second thought, they are Bush’s fault.”

“Hey! ‘Betray us,’ pause, I mean General Petraeus, you got us out of Afghanistan yet?” “What?! You just got there?!” “Wadda you mean, you’re changing the rules of engagement so those ‘little people’ in uniform can defend themselves? Don’t you know I have the safety of Muslim terrorists, sorry, Jihadists and Taliban to be concerned about?” “Those people in uniform volunteered, so what’s their beef with risking their lives, and by the way, since they volunteered tell them to buy their own health and life insurance if they want coverage, oh, yeah, tax them the cost of their transportation to and from Afghanistan and Iraq?” Golf, smoke, basketball, snort, relax.

“Rahm, have you directed Daily Kos to remove the remarks about General ‘betray us’ form our website now that I’ve made the brilliant move of appointing him to head up our cut and run policy from Afghanistan; gotta get that done before the next general election you know?”

“This oil spill thing, that was absolutely Dick Cheney’s fault, he planned and caused the blowout while he was still VP; What? We just finished inspecting that well and gave them a safety award? Then, it’s all BP’s fault, they must have colluded with Cheney and done it on purpose; they’re pissed because of the Churchill bust thing. Yes, I am well aware that they donated more to me than to all other candidates.” Smoke, party, basketball, golf.

“Put your boot on BP’s neck! Damn the Jones Act, we’re gonna kick some ass. Smoke, party, golf, basketball; “damn the Jones Act even more, we have to support our base: you know, Soros, Gore, Clinton, etc., SEIU, illegal immigrants, ACORN, ACLU, Abortionists, Gays, Lesbians, and Muslims; damn the wildlife, tourism, fishing industry and drilling industry, damn those bastards who want to make money, damn the dollar. In fact! God damn America!” pregnant pause, “Ooops!” Golf, smoke, snort, basketball, party.

“Hey Rahm, tell the Republicans that if they don’t support my nomination of Kagan for the Supreme Court that I’ll direct MSNBC, CBS, CNN, and ABC label them racist, homophobe, misogynists!” “Be sure to contact Brzezinski, you know, the female on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, she’s been working with us all along.” “By the way, how are we coming in shutting down talk radio?” Golf, golf, smoke, basketball.

“Can’t you people see that we’re busy spreading the wealth around? You people need to quit your harping, just get out there and volunteer; it’s our turn, we have welfare recipients, SEIU, illegal immigrants, and tax cheats, communists, and socialists in my administration to support!”

“But, sir, where’s the money to come from? There are no new jobs except for government census workers and fourteen thousand new IRS enforcement jobs, the private sector ones that are there are being taken by illegal immigrants and businesses are leaving faster than fleas on a dead rabbit. We are out of money; a hundred per cent taxes for a generation won’t pay the debt. What are you doing? Where’s the Hope and Change?! Oh, I see, ‘Bite me’ said the economy is on track? But sir, I thought you said that?”

“Ah, shut up! It’s all Bush’s faulty economic policies of tax breaks for the rich that caused all this!” Openly smoke, smile big, golf, party, basketball, and begin celebration of the destruction of the greatest economy the world has ever known! “What do you mean the American people don’t like what I’m doing? Do you think I care what the American people like or don’t like, want or don’t want!?” “I won the election, didn’t I?”

“Hey Blago! What the hell are you doing out there?” Smoke, party, basketball, golf, chin in air, look down nose, turn head to profile to look like Lenin, look off in distance; “Rahm, find a Carp Czar right after you find a Blago Czar!” Golf, smoke, basketball, golf.

A noted writer recently wrote that the U.S. is on the slippery slope to tyranny while a pollster claims that Hillary “stand by my man” Clinton is better qualified to be President than Obama (no surprise there). According to the same poll, Hillary was preferred ahead of a list of Republicans including Newt Gingrich, Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney and others. There is no doubt that handwriting is on the wall for Obama although he likely does not know how to read it, nor does he care.

Obama’s Foreign Policy is a “reset” disaster. With the “Overseas Contingency Operation” in Afghanistan on the chaotic political center stage orchestrated by “bite me” Biden, any sane observer knows that “bite me” should be locked out of anything to do with policy. Hillary is so busy self-promoting and self-protecting that Foreign Policy is one of the least of her real concerns; she wants to fulfill the poll results. To date, Obama’s Foreign Policy consists of anti-American apologies, pandering to Muslims abroad and at home, stabbing Israel in the back with the help of his Chief of Staff, Rahm Emmanuel (one hopes the anti-Semites and self-loathing Jews are happy), embracing communists and other leftist dictators and sucking up to China. One has to ask, who is this person for? Minorities? Unions? Social and Socialist activists? Yes. But it is abundantly clear that he is not for mainstream Americans!

Central to the problem is that while General Stanley McChrystal was figuratively on the carpet for the untoward attitude of his staff (which undoubtedly reflected his own attitude) toward Obama’s team, if not Obama, too many if not most Americans were busy texting, tweeting, “face booking,” attending some shrieking “entertainer’s” ear splitting concert, watching the World Cup, NBA, Super Bowl, World Series, NASCAR or trying to sneak a peek to see whether or not Miley Cyrus or Brittany Spears had on underclothes to have a clue about what is happening to their country. Such “useful idiots” voted for Obama despite the fact that he told them in eloquent terms that he planned to destroy their way of life. In his world, after all, in the process of satisfying just the above past-times, Americans consume about twenty percent of the world’s resources and Obama is on a mission to totally change that to Kenyan levels.

To that end he has managed to spend or obligate more money than all previous U.S. administrations in history combined, effectively reducing future generations of Americans to virtual slaves of and to the government (Obama’s vision of spreading the wealth around); he and Democrats in Congress imposed (shades of the Soviet Union, China, Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea) an overwhelmingly unwanted system of health care on the nation that in the process is destroying the best health care in the world while adding trillions to the national debt; he has reduced the U.S. economy nearly to rubble (Oh, sorry, “it’s Bush’s fault.”); is demonstrably America’s first dictator given his unilateral actions with respect to his refusal, despite the Presidential oath to fulfill required Constitutional duties, to secure the borders; his tacit encouragement of illegal immigration; his adversarial attitude toward the State of Arizona’s actions to protect itself; his intention to grant illegal immigrants amnesty by Executive Order, attempting to “rahm” through “Cap and Trade” legislation that would triple energy costs and further wreck the economy; put huge amounts of taxpayers’ dollars in the pockets of the likes of George Soros, Al Gore, and other rich elitists; complicit and intentional failure to act in protecting Gulf waters from further damage by the BP oil spill despite technology that is available and has been offered, that could ameliorate the problem; imposition of a drilling moratorium in the Gulf that will result in thousands of jobs lost; irresponsibly delaying Gulf berm construction; and, “fiddling” on the golf course while the nation “burns,” to name a few.

Is Obama incompetent or are his actions intentional? When one states, “the economy is on track,” which both he and “bite me” Biden have asserted, given the evident direction that it is moving, his actions to destroy the economy are intentional! Does this constitute being domestic enemy #1?

A number of years ago Alex Haley wrote an epic book titled Roots, the moving story of his African heritage. Haley performed years of research and was rewarded with an understanding from whence he came, and then to his credit, shared it with the rest of us. Similarly, too many, if not most Americans know little or nothing about how this country came to be and have scant knowledge of its founding principles. A number of years ago I yearned to deepen my understanding of our nation and was fortunate to find Dr. Chuck Baldwin’s comprehensive assemblage of important founding documents titled The Freedom Documents. I keep a copy on the coffee table for easy reference.

Like Haley’s Roots, The Freedom Documents underpin all Americans’ roots and I enthusiastically commend a copy to readers wherever they may be; the folks in Washington would be well advised to peruse them. An understanding of how the United States came to be puts Obama’s efforts to destroy it in clear perspective. Buy The Freedom Documents and then read/study them. You will be glad you did.

Someone recently labeled Florida’s Governor Charlie Crist as “Judas” Crist, an apt description. Surprised? It really should not be to anyone who has observed his motivation and modus operandi. Those characteristics are well established: Crist’s motivation has been, is and will be self-aggrandizement, and his modus operandi, self-serving.

So, just who is Charlie Crist? If voters are satisfied with more of the same from Democrats in Washington for the last four years, Crist would fit their expectations perfectly. He is a careerist politician whose modus is an anemometer that automatically aligns itself with whatever direction, and turning at the same velocity that the wind happens to be blowing; always with his finger in the air.

So, if the economy is blowing in the direction of freedom and free markets, that would be Crist’s mantra. If however, it is free market bashing, Crist would stand tall with the bashers, à la Obama. If it is about smaller government, Crist would mouth “smaller government,” but if public sentiment were in favor of strong centralized government, Crist would be at the head of the line. Like all careerist politicians, Crist is in it for Crist and voters are the “little people” who both serve him and to whom Crist panders for votes.

Crist’s inherently leftist self came to the surface in recent months and is accurately reflected in a June 16th Politico article by Jonathan Martin. The writer stated:

The governor has vetoed an education reform bill teachers unions didn’t like, vetoed a bill abortion rights advocates didn’t like, reversed his stance on gays in the military, reversed his support for offshore drilling and come out for the Supreme Court nomination of Elena Kagan, after opposing Sonia Sotomayor when he was running as a Republican.

Any politician who decides to change his fundamental beliefs, if he had them in the first place, is another indicator of what is wrong with this country. All one had to do was be present in Northwest Florida during the 1994 elections to observe Democrat politicians abandon their Party by the horde and flock en masse to the Republican Party because at the time it became the “only game in town.”

Even local U.S. Representative, Jeff Miller, a Republican, made the switch from Democrat to the Republican Party days before running for State office. To his credit he has consistently voted “conservative,” but to his political damnation he is a careerist, and political careerism is central to the economic and social damage that this country has suffered for the past sixty years. They make one sick!

Two years ago it was evident to anyone who bothered to study Obama that he would intentionally attempt to crash the economy. Exercising normal powers of observation and common sense one can tell that Obama’s and Democrats’ effort in that regard has not waned with the passage of time.

When Rush Limbaugh created a tempest in a tea pot by “hoping that Obama fails,” he, along with all rational observers understood that the direction that Obama was going to take the country was radically different than the preceding two hundred thirty two years of unprecedented and unequalled success. By his own words and actions Obama eschews the U.S. Constitution while feigning respect for it; by his actions, notwithstanding his words, he is antipathetic to the core American principles and values of hard work, creativity, exceptionalism, honesty, integrity and leadership.

One reader was astonished when nearly eighteen months ago I wrote that Obama would work to intentionally reduce the U.S. to third world status. It should now be evident to anyone, given his track record thus far and his present abysmally incompetent handling of the worst ecological disaster in U.S. history, (in which I believe he is both complicit and has intentionally exacerbated), that he is succeeding beyond his wildest dreams. He may actually feel sorry for the people who are suffering, but that suffering is at Obama’s hand. With even minor understanding of the blowout catastrophe Obama would have immediately waived the Jones Act and allowed the Dutch to loan containment vessels (and still could), that would have contained the majority of the spill but continues largely unabated, and will until relief wells are completed later this summer.

So, why would he intentionally try to harm the US economy? The answer is simple if one has taken the time to study Obama, and I have. He is doing it in order to fraudulently acquire extra-constitutional powers and impose a form of socialism with an Islamic twist from whence he sprang, upon the nation. Alas, Khrushchev’s prediction, “we will bury you” will come true unless Americans show their children that there is a better way; and that way is the Judeo-Christian tradition, a free market economy and liberty and justice for all.

Obama’s Sharia Islamic socialism would be infinitely worse than Stalin’s and Khrushchev’s Soviet communism that accounted for about one hundred million killed during their reign of terror. His Muslim roots and vision for America carried through to fruition would inflict a form of servitude that no generation of Americans, including the dark days of slavery, has ever experienced. It is a disaster that could come true; remember “Hope and Change?” What the world is witnessing is “Hope and Change” Obama style, enabled by Democrats like back stabbing Arlen Specter, Charlie “Judas” Crist, and other likeminded political traitors.

Our children and grandchildren deserve better!

A reader writes: “Politicians won’t vote term limits for themselves so we must do it for them.”

I met Charlie Crist once or twice during his visits to the Florida panhandle before he became Governor. He seemed friendly enough, but having observed him over the years my opinion galvanized that he always has been exactly what he is turning out to be, a liberal in conservative clothing. Crist is a political opportunist, careerist chameleon changing stripes for convenience or advantage for the sole purpose of advancing his political career. In a recent statement Crist bemoaned the loneliness of not having party support for his campaign, probably a terminal observation since cogent voters can now see for themselves just who he is; and that will make him really lonely.

Crist ran as a head-fake conservative and once ensconced revealed that he had no interest in the conservative social issues which topped those among which he ran for Governor and which helped sweep him into office. But, during his term he conveniently sidestepped proposed legislation that would tighten abortion rules as well as homosexual issues, specifically as the latter relates to redefining marriage. Crist’s convenient dodge was always his limp-wristed excuse that he had more important things to deal with; not surprisingly first and foremost being his political career.

Never one to miss getting his face on TV, Crist followed McCain around like one puppy following another in heat, that is, until McCain was beaten. After that it was not long before the Crist/Obama embrace. Right on, Charlie! At least you let your true colors show. Being a man after his own heart, Crist repeatedly declared that he would run as a Republican, not an Independent for the November elections but evidently could not bear seeing his career slip away as he was being crushed by upstart Rubio.

Like any other self-serving politician Crist forgot his pledge, and now, as an Independent in a not so covert act but a rare moment of integrity removed pro-life information from his website since he has lost the conservative vote anyway trading it for the pro-abortion vote. He might just as well show his true colors like other socialists/democrats who finally came clean with their votes for so-called “Health Care Reform.” Americans can see them at last for what they really are and can make an informed decision on how to vote instead of being duped by their fraudulent centrist rhetoric. Charlie Crist fits right in with the putrid D.C. crowd and if he is what some Florida voters want in the U.S. Senate, they should vote for him.

Of the choices for the U.S. Senate from Florida: Meeks is a racist who doesn’t have a clue or a chance; and, his own democrats are in the process of throwing him “under the bus” in favor of supporting Crist, Florida’s version of Arlen Specter. On the other hand, one may be no more enthralled with Rubio than any other careerist politician; but I will vote and it won’t be for the first two.

Americans should pray that Obama will be fired by voters sooner than later and along with him all those politicians who have made a career of spending American taxpayers’ money while feathering their own nests with it. Crist fits right in with that putrid crowd! Florida voters should show him retirement so that he can spend fulltime with his new wife.

I cannot resist writing a few words about the “Wicked Witch” of the White House Press Corps; what was her name? Yes, I know but decline to dirty this essay with it. One of the more striking images was her diminutive, shriveled up, hunched over witch-like figure being embraced by Obama and his Joker smile in the White House briefing room. All she was missing was the broom and black hat and Obama, the painted face. What a pair! On a positive note, at long last a liberal icon tells it like they really feel about Israel and one more layer of the noxious liberal onion has been peeled back for the nation to see. Israel’s right to self-defense is self-evident and anyone who disagrees can go to hell because today, I am a Jew!
