"It is late August of 2001 as I revisit the activities of Noam Chomsky concerning Israel and the Jewish people.
Has Chomsky perhaps mellowed somewhat, as I hoped when I last wrote about him in 1995 ? Has he perhaps tried to see something of both sides in the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, some merit, no matter how small, in the cause of the Israeli people ?
The answer, to put it bluntly, is fat chance.
Eleven months since the beginning of what the Arabs call the Al Aqsa Intifada, hundreds of Arab and Jewish lives have been lost. It has been a year of great suffering for all. But for Chomsky it has been suffering for the Palestinians, period. In a speech he gave at MIT last December 14, he is concerned over what he calls "killings" and "atrocities," all of which, according to him, are killings of Arabs by Jews. No, not a word whatever of the televised sickening lynchings, two months before Chomsky's speech, of Corporal Vadim Novesche and Sergeant Yosef Avrahami, which shocked the world. Not a word of any suffering by Jews, not a word of Arab violence. Instead, a repeated demand for a Palestinian "right to resist," and a criticism of Arafat for having signed away that right at Oslo. Arafat, as Chomsky has opined many times before, is far too easy on the Jews. On August 13, just about two weeks before I write this, Chomsky revs up his hysteria even more, this time charging Israel with "a repetition of Nazi crimes" (op-ed piece, Los Angeles Times).
Since I wrote my analysis of him in 1985 and again in 1995, Chomsky and his friends have attempted to reply by saying a) Cohn is a liar, b) Cohn is a Zionist, c) Cohn misquotes.
Insofar as these attacks are in any way concrete, they concern my disclosures of the political relationship between Chomsky and the French neo-Nazi Holocaust deniers. The basic documents, including Chomsky's own charming "Cohn is a pathological liar," are now on line. I give the links to the original materials, so anyone can determine exactly who the liar is:"
Why is it that most (more than 85%) of those who object about my sig, do so as ac? Are you, and people like you, too afraid/unsure of what you believe to post under your own account?
"he ACLU takes this odd position on the 2nd Amendment for two primary reasons, along with a fall back stance. First, they have decided that the term "the people" that is contained in the 2nd Amendment does not apply to "the people" as it does in all of the other rights contained in the Bill of Rights. Instead, they take the position that this is a collective right and can only be assigned to a militia group, such as the National Guard, which means that Congress can limit or remove gun ownership as they see fit. Secondly, they cite the 1939 Supreme Court case of US. vs. Miller, as proof that the Supreme Court agrees with their beliefs. And finally, they take the fall back position that even if their first two reasons do not hold water, the 2nd is now outdated because the founding fathers could not have envisioned the type of arms that are currently available and the dangers of a few using firearms in criminal activity outweigh the value of this right to society.."
The US goverment doesn't want to protect us, they want to get reelected.
If they wanted to protect the USA they would do something to secure our borders. It does no good to post a guard at your door/airports and leave the network/borders unprotected.

Neither you, nor the mods who moded you up, even know what the 2nd adm says!
Please read it, and the rest of the DI and USC before you post/mod on this subject again.
Since the mods are on crack.
Please explain.
What would be worse? Our security? GWB doesn't care about our security, if he did something would be done about our border security.
Spending? GWB is spending money like a drunken sailor on his first day back in port.

Well, the DOJ did find 6,000.00 USD to cover up that statue...
So it looks like they can spend taxpayers money on damn near anything they want.
