I could go on. Obviously my respect for Diana has skyrocketed in diametrical opposition to my feelings for her husband. :) Um, Jonathan, I'm a little perplexed by your question, … unless, of course, it's a joke, in which case, my answer would be: "Intelligent," or "A goddess," or, " A woman who stands not by her man but with her tribe and rightousness!"

Do you know what *she's* called?

I know. Our Supreme Court imposes (they said as much) the values of anti-semitic Christian Europe on us. Makes the U.S. Supreme Court look almost democratic. Yes. I know.

Forgive me for going on so, but I just have to say: long live Israel. My thoughts and prayers are with all Israelites as I read more and more each day about Hezzbullshitla digging their tunnels and stockpiling chemical warhead missles. Lots of rumors that the shit is going to hit the fan by the end of the month, that they feel emboldened by Obama's support. Be safe, be strong, all of you who live there. It is my hope that America will do the right thing and stand by Israel, and come November, I'll be bolstering that hope by voting a complete GOP ticket, something that would have been unfathomable to me in the past!

It was grandstanding. I believe it was all premeditated. Did you get a look at the load of publicity he got from it? It went on for weeks! And still the stories continue. I too believe that it does not affect Israel. It only made him look like a complete ass. Hell, in Israel, he could have stood there and spoke his, imo, stupid poltical views without any censorship whatsoever! And, while he denies he was threatened in any way, that IS the coercive mo of pisslamicists and the propaganda I read calling on him to boycott was pretty heavy stuff. It alone would have ticked me off so much that I would have played just to spite their audacity. But ... if Elvis has been consistent in anything, it's been his leftist views and penchant to bite the hand that feeds him. And I have to say, as someone who has put a lot of money in his pocket in the past, ... it's a two-way street Elvis, and American or National Ransom (whatever Elvis) will be the first EC album that I will not buy. Ain't gonna support no terrorist loving, misguided dope any more. Shame on him. Exactly Brian. It was grandstanding. I believe it was all premeditated.

I wasn't brought up Catholic, so I'm not so guilt-ridden as to attempt this Shy Guy book-of-the-month club summer read.

The book covers Protestantism just the same. But never mind.

Is anything I'm saying making sense to you at all?

Sure! Yet one can make sense and still not be correct. ^_^

Sounds like a lot of fun though. I think I'll stick with those William Wegman coffee table books with his weimeraners captured in funny poses. But thanks for the recommendation just the same.

It is therefore logical that evil and strength go hand in hand, while weakness represents justice. This was the origin of the Christian concept of offering the other cheek. The weaker and more despised you are, the more righteous and pure you will be. Of course no Christian ever actually offers the other cheek, only Jews do. Jews who want the world to know that they are more catholic that the Pope. We thus end up with this mad policy of "restraint" which seals the fate of yet another Jew every day. Our adoption of the moral rules of the nations grants them the last word on every issue. They decide who is a terrorist, who is a freedom fighter, who is murderer, and who is a brave soldier defending his people and his homeland. Arafat murdered women and children, and the fighters of the Irgun avoided doing so, but they were all terrorists. And who is to say that the killing of a British sergeant is part of a war of independence and not just a despicable murder?"</i> Just to clarify what I meant in my original post, let me quote an old article written by Manhigut Yehudit's Moshe Feiglin:
