We've paid billions to the Arabs, and we supplied them with arms and aircraft!

THEY HAVE OIL and it stays cheap in return . Is that too difficult for you to figure out. We get something in return. WHAT DO WE GET FROM GIVING MONEY TO ISRAEL? Just headaches.

Ummm ... weren't you in an earlier post inveighing over how expensive oil is?

And I already answered the question as to what we get from giving money to Israel ... but I'll do it again since you didn't understand it the first time ...

What we get is ... the satisfaction of knowing that we've lived up to our American principles ... of defending freedom from tyranny. That may seem less important to you than having gas for your Yugo ... but to people who understand the importance firm principles play in determining the destiny of nations ... it's really much more important than the price of oil.

I love the "satisfaction of knowing that we've lived up to our American principles", is that from a hallmark card?

American principles are doing what is best for america. So I guess giving millions to Sadaam Hussein years ago and propping up dictators like those in Saudi Arabia is living up to american principles?

You might be the most delusional person on earth. Who taught you this nonsense, Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh? Learn to think for yourself.

You keep failing to answer why they need my tax dollar. Is Israel short on cash or would they just prefer to raise my taxes instead of their own?

No ... our principles are stated in the Declaration Of Independence and the Constitution.

Abiding by those principles ... not having "oil" or "minerals" ... is why the United States has been the most successful nation in the history of the world.

You may scoff at abstract concepts ... most ignorant people do ... but fortunately the very wise founders of this country ... and the majority of the citizenry which has formed its government for the past 230 years ... do understand the importance of ideas and principles ... and the importance of sticking with them.

You may not realize it ... but you've spent your entire life benefitting from the ideas and principles of others who are considerably more enlightened than you are.

Yeah, they forgot to teach me that in Con Law. Those very wise founders were primarily deists and warned against getting involved with other countries.

I have done more for members of our military than you have ever done, although I suspect you probably would side with Israel over my country anyway.

Con Law ... isn't that what they teach in prison to inmates who are trying to plea their way out?

S2S: we've talked of this before..All that cash doesn't trickle down to the Palestinian people....Arafat and cohorts took care of that. As for Israel, its' riches lay underground in the form of trillions of $$$$ in minerals

Great, well get the dam minerals and stay out of my paycheck. You are delusional about the trillion dollars in minerals anyway. That is funny. I guess nobody got around to getting them. LOL. The US shouldn't give aid to the Palestinians either unless they discover oil.

What book? The Old Testament? Next you will tell me there was an Ark that saved all the animals and people from a world flood.

Maybe those minerals are right next to the tablets of the ten commandments.

If there are trillions in minerals why do you need my tax dollar to defend yourself?

Israeli minerals ... yes.... one of my current favorites is First Israel Fund (ISL). PAid a hefty 10% dividend a few months back.
