"The wealthy, not only by private fraud but also by common laws, do every day pluck and snatch away from the people some part of their daily living. Therefore, when I consider and weigh in my mind these commonwealths which nowadays do flourish, I perceive nothing but a certain conspiracy of rich men in procuring their own commodities under the name and authority of the commonwealth.
They invent and devise all means and crafts, first how to keep safely without fear of losing that which they have unjustly gathered together, and next how to hire and abuse the work and labor of the people for as little money and effort as possible."

An Ernest Attempt
Israel tried to bump-off Cynthia Mckinney the other day in the event you hadn't heard about it... but then again how could you have heard about this incident and its proper context if the MSM is you source for "news"? Silly me.

No surprise here. The reporting here is one-sided, against the Arabs. Like you pointed out the other day, Coldie, even newspapers in Israel are reporting these attacks were planned six months ago, long before the recent Hamas rocket attacks.
You have to search long and hard to find anyone reporting the number of Arab deaths compared to deaths in Israel.
Well Lefty as our new friends here have pointed out, Arab deaths don't really matter so actually reporting them would be akin to noting that the Sun rises in the east. Ever wonder why our nation is so despised?
Yea Coldie, just like that UN building Israel hit with a rocket today. The building whose location was given to Israel beforehand so no bombs could be launched there. The building where women and children sought refuge?
Israel says rockets were being fired from that location. Notice one thing? Israel has never said rockets fired from that location struck anything.
Folks like our friend at 2:41 p.m. lump all Arabs into one category and ignore the terrorism of Israel. Like you said, no wonder we are hated. I hope Obama turns things around in the Mideast, but I doubt it.
How novel. So how should a sovereign nation then respond to invasion and occupation? To pick an example at random let's say... Iraq is invaded and occupied by a foreign power that utterly destroys its infrastructure, kills over one million of its citizens, and creates some five million refugees... should they put up resistance? Or is the right to self-determination invalidated if the foreign power in question is the self-declared Light Onto the World?

So you have to wait for incoming fire to hit something before you return fire??
You two military geniuses have never been to Iraq where they use mosques to store weapons and shoot at Coalalition troops from.
"You two military geniuses have never been to Iraq where they use mosques to store weapons and shoot at Coalalition troops from"
Now why on earth would Iraqis open fire on foreign troops occupying their country? The ungrateful bastards!
