Here's the deal: Racism in this country exists.  McCain is no genius.  But because Obama talks about peace with the Palestinians, he's treated as a pariah.  Not to mention the tons of idiots in Florida who know the real cost of prejudice on the one hand, yet are "wary" of Barack Obama because his middle name is... Hussein. Who cares?

Does the whitebread neutrality of George W.Bush's name mean anything? His middle name is "Walker"?  So what! I mean this guy is the WORST leader this planet has ever seen.  But supposedly smart Jews like him because he sends weapons to Israel.

 I hope Obama wins.  This country needs to face it's own insecurities and prejudices.  And also needs to face the fact that a black man being elected to the highest office in the land will truly change the perception of the U.S. in the world.

 The reality is that there will be tension, but you know what?  We need to work through it.  It's enough already. 

Really Mr. Anonymous?  Let's face facts: Most books like these are released not to be purchased by their target audience but to be purchased by parents and others to give to kids who are supposedly the target audience but will most likely grimace and say humbly "Thank you!" while trying to dodge the topic of if they liked it or not for weeks. 

It's a cash-in on a non-existent trend.  And the review here basically does a more eloquent take on this view than I could in this short space. Jumping the shark indeed.

Does he have an opinion on videos posted by U.S. troops of their real experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan?  Or the photographing—or not photographing—of caskets coming back from Iraq?

This Memorial Day is the first Memorial Day I truly feel what it means on a deeper level. And how much the current administration and other assorted nutjobs—like Joe Lieberman—truly hate those who make sacrifices for them.

When my dad was a teen in Poland he was very into the idea of a Jewish state, and was a great admirer of Theodor Herzl. Then World War II happened.  The afterwards my parents and my brother and sister moved to Israel.  The promise was implied that "all your problems are solved" by moving there.  Nope, that did not happen.  After spending a few years living there, they got sick and tired of the constant state of war Israel was—and still is—in and moved the family to America.

You know what a true sign of delusion is? The fact that if you ask most Jews/Israelis if Israel is at war, most will answer "Well, it's not exactly a war..."

 Give me a break. They are in a constant state of preparedness for the next person to invade and destroy them.  Yet most will never admit it's a war-like existence even during good times.

 The theory of Israel is a dream.  The reality is a delusion.
