Rising Hegemon
We’ve had an invented Palestinian people who are in fact Arabs and are historically part of the Arab community and they had a chance to go many places. And for a variety of political reasons we have sustained this war against Israel since the 1940s.Of course, the United States has long stood in theory for a people's right to self-determination (as long as they aren't commies) including the Palestinians both Republican and Democratic Presidents. But who cares there are votes to get. And there are many in the GOP more than willing to go along with the moronic talking point de jour.
I jumped up out of my chair and cheered for Newt when he said what he said about Palestine. -- Rudy GiulianiI hope Bernie Kerik didn't hurt himself when he was knocked off Rudy's lap during visitation.

Newticles didn't invent lowest common denominator politics, but he's done a bang-up job making an art form of it.
He knows that the Iowa Repug base is largely composed of religious loonies, and that any defense of Israel, even one that is both ahistorical (btw, Newticles has a PhD in ahistory) and counter-factual (btw, Newticles collaborates on counter-factual novels), is bound to get the loonies drooling.
He's the Pied Piper of Delirium, and he'll go om playing these tunes as long as there's a crowd behind him.
