Below The Beltway

I believe in the free speech that liberals used to believe in, the economic freedom that conservatives used to believe in, and the personal freedom that America used to believe in.

Diplomacy Is Not Appeasement

Brendan Loy puts it exactly the way I would:
President Bush’s comment, by contrast, is not within the realm of rationality. He is claiming that the mere act of sitting down and negotiating with an enemy is tantamount to “appeasement.” That is absolutely absurd. Bush needs to look up a dictionary definition of the damn word […]

Ladies and gentlemen, the General Election campaign has officially started:
WATERTOWN, S.D. — Barack Obama rebuked Republican rival John McCain and President Bush for “dishonest and divisive” attacks in hinting that the Democratic presidential candidate would appease terrorists, staunchly defending his national security credentials for the general election campaign.

Hamas: Jews Planned The Holocaust

by @ Thursday, May 1st, 2008. Filed under Foreign Affairs, Hamas, Israel, Middle East, War On Terror

Hamas presents it’s theory on the events of 1939-1945:
Jewish leaders concocted the mass murder of handicapped Jews in order to keep from having to support them, and this murder is what the Jews term “the Holocaust,” according to a documentary special that aired on April 18 on Hamas’s Al Aqsa television station.

Did Jimmy Carter Break The Law ?

by @ Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008. Filed under Dumbasses, Foreign Affairs, Hamas, Israel, Middle East, War On Terror

There’s a pretty good argument that his recent adventures in the Middle East violated the Logan Act:
Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with […]

by @ Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008. Filed under 2008 Election, Al Qaeda, Foreign Affairs, Hamas, Hillary Clinton, Iran, Israel, Middle East, Politics, War On Terror

ABC News’s Jake Tapper brings to light some rather aggressive comments from Hillary Clinton about Iran:
Clinton further displayed tough talk in an interview airing on “Good Morning America” Tuesday. ABC News’ Chris Cuomo asked Clinton what she would do if Iran attacked Israel with nuclear weapons.
“I want the Iranians to know that if I’m the […]

James Earl Carter: A Modern-Day Neville Chamberlain

by @ Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008. Filed under Dumbasses, Foreign Affairs, Hamas, Israel, War On Terror

Yesterday, former President Carter emerged from his meetings with the terrorist leaders of Hamas claiming a breakthrough for peace:
JERUSALEM, April 21 — The armed Islamist movement Hamas is prepared to accept Israel as a neighbor if the Palestinian people approve the terms for peace, former president Jimmy Carter and the group’s exiled leadership said Monday […]

The Anti-Semitic Roots Of The Palestinian State

by @ Tuesday, April 1st, 2008. Filed under Foreign Affairs, Hamas, Israel, Middle East

Given the propaganda that comes out of the supporters of Hamas, it’s no wonder that peace in the Middle East is more an idea than a reality:
GAZA — In the Katib Wilayat mosque one recent Friday, the imam was discussing the wiliness of the Jew.
“Jews are a people who cannot be trusted,” Imam Yousif al-Zahar […]

Why Palestine And Not Tibet ?

by @ Tuesday, March 25th, 2008. Filed under China, Foreign Affairs, Israel, Middle East, Tibet

I don’t usually agree with Dennis Prager but he hits the nail on the head when he asks the question — Why Do Palestinians Get More Attention Than Tibetans ?
Money quote:
Tibet, at least 1,400 years old, is one of the world’s oldest nations, has its own language, its own religion and even its own ethnicity. […]
