Makes sense since he is listening to our “illegal” immigrant concerns.

Do Democrats have “illegal” immigrant concerns like_lost_sheep?

“Bush’s pre-Christmas rebound was fueled largely by a sharp increase in support among his core supporters. In the past month, the proportion of Republicans approving of the president’s performance rose 9 percentage points, to 87 percent.”

Steve’s referral to “[Bill] Kristol” and “Zionist” and “Israel” in his latest post (see above) seems to clarify his thinking a bit.

At least once before in posts on this blog, Steve has used the term, “Neocon Republicans.”

When used, “neocon” usually refers to former Democrats who grew disillusioned with that party and moved to the Republican side. Thus, “NeoCon Republican” is rather redundant unless one means to define a subset of “Republicans.”

However, anyone who reads a smattering of the left’s writings knows that “Zionist” and “NeoCon” are also code words for “Jew.” Paul Wolfowitz, Wm. Kristol and Richard Perle are a few examples of neocons who are also Jews. Many posts on them are thinly-veiled anti-semitic attacks.

I’m confused, Steve. What subset(s) of Republicans do you include when using the term “neocon?” Is it wrong, in your view, for “Zionists,” who are, incidentally, American citizens, to articulate political views, hold public office or otherwise try to influence America’s course? What must Israel do to, as you wrote, “…get its house in order”? It would help me (and others here, I’m betting) to comprehend some of your posts if you would answer those questions.

steve,

Please take your hate of Israel elsewhere. It add nothing to anything except the negative impression of you.

Yeah! This whole wiretapping thing is really about Israel! And I would have totally missed the connection if it weren’t for steve!

Kristol and the WSJ, are two of the loudest Zionist voices in America today. Israel must get it’s house in order. Peace

THANK YOU ST for this WSJ peice. I missed it.

Thank you Bush for standing up to the heat.

The dominant media are proving to be lazy again. Laziness is easier if you have a pattern of inaccurate accusations. Looking up history and the facts is hard work.

“Volokh Conspiracy’s Orin Kerr, who provides a legal analysis well worth reading.”

Orrin Kerr is a great law prof. I like how he contradicts the hacks at the WSJ: FISA wasn’t followed, the AUMF doesn’t work, and the article II arguments have no support.
