You could say that you support policies that are in the best interests of America, and only America.
But obviously not.
Red Phillips | 2.4.11 @ 1:40PM
Come on Aaron. Snide remarks do not constitute an argument. You're better than this.
Patty| 2.4.11 @ 6:49PM
C'mon, Red, you're the master of snide remarks; it's hypocritical of you to whine when others make them.
Red Phillips | 2.5.11 @ 12:07AM
I am? Examples?
Patty| 2.5.11 @ 2:30AM
Don't be shy, Red; you know you're the snark king. Hypocrisy is beneath you.
Red Phillips | 2.5.11 @ 3:44PM
Examples?
I am sometimes irritated that this interventionist nonsense passes for conservatism, but I do not rest my arguments on snark.

One of the dumbest blogposts to ever appear here.
So if you don't support borrowing money to give away to Israel, you are antisemitic huh? that must also mean that calling your blogpost braindead and offensive is also antisemitic, am I right pal?
Robbie| 2.4.11 @ 2:38PM
It's interesting Aaron is hot to trot to support Israel with money, but unwilling to stand with a 30 year ally who has provided stability, fought terrorism, and done America's heavy lifting in the region.
I guess the apple doesn't far fall from the neoconservative tree in accusing everyone who regrets foreign aid to Israel as anti-semetic.
Aaron Goldstein| 2.4.11 @ 3:08PM
You obviously haven't read my most recent article and blog posts.
Robbie| 2.4.11 @ 4:35PM
I've read plenty and you're singing the same neocon line that Mubarak needs to go now. It's just stupid.
It's also idiotic to tacitly accuse Rand Paul of anti-semitism for wanting to cut aid to Israel. Don't try and say that wasn't the point of your post either.
Aaron Goldstein| 2.4.11 @ 4:43PM
Please show me where I have written"Mubarak needs to go"? Evidence please.
Quartermaster| 2.4.11 @ 6:05PM
Nice dodge there Goldstein. Now you want to tell us why it's wise to borrow money to give to Israel? And why *all* foreign aid should not be called welfare?
And I have read your most recent posts and articles. When it comes to Israel, you are a neocon.
Red Phillips | 2.5.11 @ 12:10AM
Actually Robbie, Aaron has been a cooler head around here in not calling for Mubarak to go. Tabin and Guardiano on the other hand...
Moe| 2.6.11 @ 4:14AM
I've always known you were decent, Red; annoying at times but always principled.
Kenny| 2.4.11 @ 2:43PM
Cut foreign aid .... and cut our funding to the U.N. , too.
Sean| 2.4.11 @ 2:59PM
Goldstein, just another neocon. Hey, if we give Israel 15 billion a year would you neocons then allow us to cut the 1.5 trillion dollar deficit?
Aaron Goldstein| 2.4.11 @ 3:14PM
When you say neocon, you mean Jew.
Clint| 2.4.11 @ 3:39PM
What ?
Does this mean you're not a Irishman?
"Faith and Begorrah"
Sean| 2.4.11 @ 3:45PM
When I say neocon I mean not a real conservative like you. You are correct however that Jews are over represented in the neocon camp. Maybe because the original neocons were Jews.
CLINT BLOWS SEAN!| 2.6.11 @ 4:11AM
...and they love it!
Warrior | 2.4.11 @ 4:20PM
Great comeback. Does that make Eddie Murphy Irish?
Robbie| 2.4.11 @ 4:36PM
And there it is. Now neocon is the same as anti-Jew. Would it make you feel better if we called you Wilsonian instead?
Quartermaster| 2.4.11 @ 6:06PM
Goldstein, your whining does you no credit. Grow up!
mortimer| 2.5.11 @ 1:05PM
neocons ARE jews
mortimer| 2.5.11 @ 7:40PM
i like little boys.
Clint| 2.4.11 @ 3:00PM
Everything should be on The Deficit Spending Chopping Block for debate & discussion.
Ken (Old Texican)| 2.4.11 @ 3:44PM
Yeah Aaron, they mean Jew.
Don't worry too much though. These people are powerless screamers sitting in their corners whining..
They are about the same minority % as the Pauls in Congress.
Robbie| 2.4.11 @ 4:38PM
So neocon is now code for Jew? Please, neocon means someone who believes we should bring democracy to every part of the world, regardless of whether the people are ready for it.
If we called them Wilsonian, is that still anti-Jew?
Clint| 2.4.11 @ 3:49PM
That's what they said about We Tea Party Patriots before We placed Our Candidates into Congress in November.
Dr.Rand Paul is One of Our Tea Party Senators & Dr.Ron Paul is a Tea Party Favorite like Sarah Palin.
Cameron| 2.4.11 @ 6:55PM
Why include Sarah Palin and not Jim DeMint in this discussion? It's chickenshit to hide behind a woman's skirts.
Truth to Power| 2.4.11 @ 4:31PM
In the same way as some conservatives supported the end of dadt, some don't much care for Israel. For the most part I am sure that Aaron can support Rand's vision of fiscal responsibility. He has guts and will provide leadership on the most important issue to confront us. It is probably a good for Israel to get rid of our foreign aid and stand on their own two feet. I have a bigger problem with Aaron than Rand but I am willing to work with both.

"Aaron Goldstein was a card carrying member of the socialist New Democratic Party of Canada (NDP). Since 09/11, Aaron has reconsidered his ideological inclinations and has become a Republican."
Is that you Mr. Goldstein? Another website mentioned supporting the Green party. I hope its not a mix up with another Goldstein, but you have written the same article.
If it is you I pegged you dead on with the term neoconservative. Then you came in and made it racial like a typical leftist.
