''I said they'' ......ahhh the ubiquitous 'they'.....and who are 'they', Are you reffering to the far left, or the anti-semites? Both?--KK

When the leaders (fathers,principals, or however you want to refer to them) tag themselves with the term neoconsevatives, and some of those folks happen to be either Jewish, or staunch supporters of Israel, how is the term a perjorative?--KK

As I stated before, the first time I offered a meaning to he word, I said,"in my opinion the term Neo-consevative has become....."

The fact that Krystal, Wolfowitz and other happen to be Jewish and staunch supporters of the Jewish state of Israel is what fuled some to adapt a new meaning to the word Neo-conservative.

The word can be perjorative if used in a context to belittle those who support a Jewish state of Israel, because they are in essence belittling the Jewish state it self. In a society where most people are so worried about being PC and not wanting to appear to be predjudice in any way--they have to find creative ways to express their distain for some people and their right to exist.--RB

While the quetions I asked earlier (other thread RB) were never answered by you, and I have kept my end of the deal (so far ) lets hear from you, as a supporter of Israel, some answers. Is Pat Buchanon an anti semite, was Nixon?--KK

I never claimed that the ugly hat of anti-semitism was worn exclusively by those on the left. But I don't think the term neo-consevative would apply to either Buchanon (who I think is a buffoon) or Nixon--RB

Is Israel 'untouchable' in her actions, like spying on the US? --KK

Allies have spyed on each other since day one.
Do you think that we don't keep tabs on Israel?

England (one of our staunchest allies) spyed on us before and during our involvement in WWII. They also contributed greatly to the defeat of fascism.

Should we have thrown the baby out with the bath water and broken off our strong relationship to England because they put their own interest before our own?

I'm good friends with my neighbors--I wouldn't bat an eyelash to help them protect their home from a fire or an intruder, I bet they'd do the same for me.

However, as selfish as it may sound, the safety of my own home and those who dwell in it is more important to me than that of my neighbors.--RB

As for your stats on the 'nuclear nation' you'll have to re-post them---your queries have been interesting so far, so I'll be happy to take a look at them. RB
