p>This is in regards to your Stop Believing Obama article. It is
interesting to see how far we’ve come. To see a time in which an
even-handed approach to two nations at war is so inconceivable it
is mentioned in a treasonous tone. The exact problem to our
approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the lack of an even
handed approach, a lack of respect to the powers that be in the
Palestinian camp. We attack and put down the actions of Hamas and
rightfully so, but we do not take the same “even-handed” approach
when it comes to the actions of Israel. For some reason this would
be unthinkably treasonous, and a presidential candidate that would
take this approach would be unacceptable. If you wish to ascribe to
the thought that people commit acts of terror against our nation
and against Israel because they our jealous of our freedom, they
hate our way of life, or they have a lunatic driven hate of all
things non-Muslim than you are no greater enlightened than our
president and we have seen where his logic has led us. Sir an
even-handed approach is the best way for our country to gain
respect and trust in the middle east and is the true way to fight
the war on terror. To not believe so is the definition of
discrimination. It is to believe that a group of people are
inherently evil, or that they do not have the comprehension level
to wish or want for peace and thereby to wish to prosper. This
points to the belief that these people do not have the cognition to
ensure their own longterm survival. Sir I look not to defend Hamas,
Hezbollah, or any other terrorist organization. I am a patriotic
American citizen with no religion. I simply want to attack the
lunacy of attacking an even-handed approach as an unpatriotic,
treasonous, and intolerable one, when in fact it is the only
way.

Philip, it is not a new kind of politics, in fact it is just one of
oldest known. Nothing works better on a mass of ignorant people
than setting one’s self up as a god like figure and attacking the
credibility of anyone that dares questions the all mighty. This
theme is played out time and time again throughout the ages and it
works when you have enough ignorance running amok. We’ve got a butt
load running about and you can find them most nights dialed into
ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, PBS, NPR and even FNC to some extent. Ignorance
and one vote more than the other guy wins every time.
