Overnight Open Thread (3-19-2015) – YOU KNOW WHY EDITION
Might as well start the punishment early.
"I love Israel. I want to see Israel survive and not be overtaken by the madmen of this world. President Obama does not love Israel. His whole agenda is to control Israel, and this way, he can be friends with all of Israel's enemies."
-- John Voight
To tread down the sword is a principle often used in strategy. First, in large scale strategy, when the enemy first discharges bows and guns and then attacks it is difficult for us to attack if we are busy loading powder into our guns or notching our arrows. The spirit is to attack quickly while the enemy is still shooting with bows or guns. The spirit is to win by treading down as we receive the enemy's attack.
In single combat, we cannot get a decisive victory by cutting, with a tee-dum tee-dum feeling, in the wake of the enemy's attacking long sword. We must defeat him at the start of his attack, in the spirit of treading him down with the feet, so that he cannot rise again to the attack.
Treading does not simply mean treading with the feet. Tread with the body, tread with the spirit, and, of course, tread and cut with the long sword. You must achieve the spirit of not allowing the enemy to attack a second time. This is the spirit of forestalling in every sense. Once at the enemy, you should not aspire just to strike him, but to cling after the attack. You must study this deeply.
-- Miyamoto Musashi in The Book of Five Rings (1645)
North Vietnamese Colonel Nguyen Huu An used this strategy against American forces as part of his 'Grab them by the belts' tactics during the Battle of Ia Drang. Discuss.
Jonah Goldberg: The Cotton Letter's Inconvenient Truth
It has been an Iranian tradition since 1979 to end Friday prayers with chants of "Death to America!"In a purely rational world, that would be all one needed to know that Iran is not a reliable negotiating partner. Alas, we do not live in such a world. But there's more evidence. Iran, according to our State Department, has been the chief exporter of terrorism for the last three decades. It has worked closely with al-Qaeda, facilitating its attacks on America and our allies. Most of the September 11 hijackers traveled through Iran with the help of the Iranian government. U.S. judges have ruled that Iran was an accomplice in the 1998 U.S. Embassy bombings in East Africa and the September 11 attacks. During the Iraq War, Iran was responsible for numerous American deaths.
And it's not like any of this is ancient history. Indeed, in 2012, the Treasury Department designated the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence and Security as a major promoter of terrorism and violator of human rights.
Well until they suddenly weren't for political reasons.

My grandfather did that. When my grandmother passed away (my grandfather had passed years earlier) we packed up all of the cans and my aunt has them now. One of these days, I am going to set up a bar like area to display them again.
He did the whole thing where you punch a hole in the bottom of the can to drain the beer out as well and not pop the top.

Mind you, if the opponent is expecting it and has prepared it can be like trying to choke-up a hamburger grinder from the inside, but that is why you also do flanking actions and try to throw so much that your opponent has to divide focus to look for other valid threats.

When my maternal grandfather was dating my grandmother, back in the 1910's, she brought him home to the family farm to meet the folks and grandma's two sisters thought he was awfully cute and asked him if he had any brothers. Why, yes, he did - two, and he introduced them to the girls.
The three brothers married the three sisters and they all had a bunch of kids, which is why my mother had a shitload of double first cousins. I don't get the "twice removed" business though.

I have the North Central Texas State South over Opiopolis Chattercats. And while no one thought the Devil Eggs would play as well as they have, I think they could advance.
The Abbondanza Wombats are looking terrible and will probably fall to Adirondack Tech. And if they don't, the Kroz University Grue will corner them in a dark alley.
That said, it's a toss up between the Balsacque Harriers

That's great.
I took an Icelandair flight from Glasgow to Reykjavik once. Found myself in a row with five British and Welsh engineers. No sooner had the wheels come up when they start ordering rounds of beer: Viking.
It was on round four of five, in the 2.5-h flight, that the Brit next to me raises a can and says, "I'll tell ya, lad - this beer's a bit ropy. But it'll do!"

Japanese military in the 1930s was obsessed with Musashi. I mean, they named one of their two greatest ships after him. Her sister ship was named "Yamato" which is just a poetic word for Japan.
Virtual worship of Musashi was also part of the nonsensical bushido crap they came up with to sell their soldiers on the silly notion of futile banzai charges. Worked out quite well, too, for everyone involved.

Well, there is drinking IPA and PBR ironically, so yeah, drinking sweetish bland low proof alcohol made in a third world country where you hope the alcohol will sterilize it may seem like an adventure...
Speaking of ironic: have you seen some of the vapers around? Some of those things look like a cross between a chromed churchwarden pipe and a chillum, and are damned-near the size of a baby's arm holding an apple.
Now, personally I am for shoving a thumb in the eye of any pinch-faced liberal scold who's main condition of life is that no-one can have any fun, but really?
Call me when there is a vaper that is the size of a memory stick and I can hide it in my hand.
I would be afraid to vape on something that looks like a child's toy saxophone anyway.
(note, some of my self-proclaimed stoner friends do not know what a chillum is. The world is getting thicker.)

Well, about that...
So I open the package of steaks my wife bought, and remembered why I don't generally send her to purchase steak.
They were three wafer-thin cuts about as big around as a plate (each) claiming to be sirloin.
So, they got a sprinkle of salt and pepper, a hasty little marinade (because I could tell they were going to be tough) and then thrown on the griddle. For about 2 minutes, each.
They came away well done.
Steak should never be well done.

Today's report: I actually got into a shouting match with a co-worker. He was talking about Trayvon Martin and said he didn't deserve to be killed for confronting someone who was stalking him. I said, "Confronting someone by beating him up and bashing his head on the sidewalk? Trayvon made it all the way home and then decided to go back to beat up George Zimmerman. George was walking away from Trayvon back to his car (truck) when Trayvon attacked him." He said, "If that's true, why didn't it come out at the trial?" I said, "I know about it only because of testimony from the trial." Him: "Well, he should have been able to walk around his own neighborhood without being stalked and it's perfectly understandable for him to confront his stalker." (never mind that it wasn't his own neighborhood)
Argh. We'll see how it goes when we get back from spring break and I apologize for raising my voice to him. He prides himself on being objective and fair-minded.

I think things are going to get interesting in the job market. Get a couple of sharp kids with some programming and engineering backgrounds and they'll be coding and maintaining robots for all sorts of custom basic jobs in no time flat.

This year Rethink's robots can do more than they did last year. And next year they'll do more than today. And so and so on.
And once you train one robot they all can get the software update overnight. Each new human Taco Bell or Target hires has to be trained all over again.
Rethink's robots are mostly for light manufacturing now. The picking and placing and boxing stuff that humans do now.
But they'll get better. I look forward to robo-fast food. It will be better. More consistent. Safer. Better quality.
Chefs will be for high end restaurants. Probably never go away. But with fast food - who wants the lowest common denominator human making their food compared to a robot?

I haven't been so unfortunate as to have had to spend a lot of time in the nastier parts of West Africa, but those who have tell me that when the locals get into either the banana beer or the palm wine in a big way, watch out. For whatever reason, tempers flare with those types of tipple.
This effect is magnified in places where you will encounter roadblocks run by whatever local ragtag "army" controls a spot of land, and where the guards who motion you to stop have an AK in one hand and a bottle in the other hand.

There have been blueberry, hops and green been harvesters, and they are developing the same for cane berries. In CA they are using automation to pick grapes, If they can they will start doing the same up here for wine grapes.
Even now the farmers are finding it hard to employ kids in the fields, and even the professional migrant pickers are being squeezed out of some harvests.

I wouldn't bother. It's your opinion, and you should be able to defend it strongly, every bit as much as Trayvon should be able to "confront" someone for "stalking" him.

Didn't get the opportunity. After all, it was a shouting match, not "please make your best case for your viewpoint." He was leaving the room, probably on his way to class.
He's a Humanities instructor and I'm a Math instructor with a degree in Religion. In the past I've heard him say things that made me cringe (Koran is more consistent with Old Testament than N Test is, Allah = Jahweh), but figured he wouldn't appreciate my input. He thinks he's open-minded; I think he is undiscerning.

Yes, there is a now machine that is supposed to do all sorts of synthesis. It's not proven in service and the product sizes are low. It would be cheaper to have Aldrich make you enough
You know, I have dreamed of setting up equipment that would take coal slurry in one end as feed stock and pour gasoline or diesel out the other. "just add Hydrogen"
That dream of coal to gasoline is very expensive. Refineries do that on a large scale fairly cheaply with about $300 million as the starting price. Just buy the gasoline from gas stations.
For small lots and heterogeneous catalysis you need organometallic metal catalysts like gold, platinum and palladium.
The newest thing I have my eye on is turning wood into liquid fuel using an iridium catalyst and a good pressure vessel. It's in pilot plant development in a number of universities today.
It will still be uneconomical for around the house, If you want to set up Bartertown and supply a mutant horde in the Wasteland -- this could be your ticket. Dibs on the job of synthesizing your catalyst.

He is the father of the BDS movement and a self hating pig and I loathe him, but for the same reasons I hate him, the administration loves him. He is very connected and knows what they are going to do.
He says the moderates advising the JEF on foreign policy were Donilon and Ross and they are gone. The hardliners advising him are Rice, Ben 'chickenshit' Rhodes and Dennis McDonough. They hate Netanyahu. So only the hardliners are advising him now.
The JEF looks at Netanyahu as a Jewish Bull Connor overseeing an apartheid state. Beinhart writes, "There is little President Obama considers more loathsome, administration officials note, than stoking racism to win votes." I know. He is the King of Stoking Racism.
They are considering:
1. letting the Palestinian Authority run out of money which would lead to violent unrest directed at Israel;
2. allow the UN to pass a resolution condemning the West Bank settlements;
3. the US will support a UN resolution outlining the two states, to 1967 borders, and a divided Jerusalem.
The new Palestinian state would have to recognize Israel, "essentially ruling out a large scale refugee right of return". I don't even know that that means. Yes I do. Flooding over the border like here with Mexico.
However, the Europeans don't want to require the recognition of Israel as a state. Europeans also want a punishment mechanism (sanctions) if the parties don't comply. And you know who they will punish don't you.
The administration thinks "such a resolution might give Obama a legacy that bears fruit down the road. Besides, at this point, Bibi's objections don't carry much weight."
Beinart writes later "The political restraints preventing them from punishing Bibi have loosened. They worry that another Gaza War is possible, even likely, perhaps soon. They think there is a real chance of Abbas allowing violence to rise from the West Bank. And they fear that the two state solution is now truly dead. They have even begun musing about what might come after." What. Might. Come. After?
at Haaretz.
I read that as not only are they going to use the UN against Israel, and allow the Europeans again to decide Jews' fates, but that they are going to loose the dogs of war

A perfect steak to me would be firm and uniformly pink and juicy inside, with the thinnest layer of browned and lightly charred outside. I've been to a few restaurants where that's exactly how a Medium steak comes out, and I make a point of returning to those places.
Another reason I go with Medium is, well, I'm also perfectly fine with Medium-Rare or Medium-Well. Sometimes a cook either views the cookedness scale a bit differently, or makes a slight miscalculation. By ordering it Medium, I ensure I won't get charred and crusty shoe-leather or something that's still cold on the inside; I'll get something well within the broad range of my preferences.

When I want a steak and don't want to go out to dinner or mess with the grill, I go to Whole Foods to see if they have any steak on sale. (Of course, their sale prices are still high, but the quality is good.) They will grill any meat you want for you for $3. extra. and they have been very good about cooking it just the way I want. While the steak is cooking, I go and pick up a few sides. It's worth it to me.

One thing that makes me chuckle a bit is when my steak arrives and the server asks me to cut into it and let her know if it's okay with me. I understand why that's done, but as far as I'm concerned, it's not a briquette and it's not still wiggling; I'm sure I'll be fine with it. Still, I make the gesture for the server's benefit.

1 pound high quality grass
2 ounces high quality blow
3 high quality hookers
1 Mosin Nagant battle rifle, cosmoline removed
880 rounds 7.62x54R ammunition
3 pounds Semtex, with detcord
1 gas grill with propane tank
3 pounds dead animal flesh, mixed variety
Oh, that list was per person. So scale accordingly. Throw in one can of Mountain Dew so Cochran can defile the Woodford.

The 'right of return' they steak of came about during the wars... Palestinians fled Israel, leaving everything behind... and Israel said, correctly... FU... stay gone.
Now a generation later, they want to both return to Israel, AND get their old land and such back...

Now, touch your thumb to forefinger, middle finger, ring finger, pinky.
Feel the "steak" part of your hand each time.
thumb to forefinger = rare
thumb to middle finger = medium
thumb to ring finger = a perfect med rare
thumb to pinky = med well
pick up steak and toss into trashcan = well done

I rarely patronize McDonalds, a habit which goes back years, but sometimes when you're on the road in certain areas, it's McD or go hungry. Or eat what ya brung.
However, I did notice when McDonalds corporate sharply (Sharptonly) tilted their advertising towards the demographic discreetly referred to as "urban youth", because suddenly I started seeing things like violent brawls in line.
Not being given to violent brawls, I figured, okay, it's McD's or MREs, and I started carrying MREs in the car instead. Given what I am seeing and hearing about what has happened in McD's franchises since I quit going there, I seem to have come out ahead on that.

It is, or was.
Fritz Maytag (of the washing machine fortune) took over an old factory in SF and started brewing there. One of the first wave of craft breweries on the West Coast in the 1980s.
Never was that much of a fan of Steam. There's local SF history behind the concept and the name. I preferred their heartier Liberty Ale. Still occasionally available. Better alternatives have emerged.
Last I had heard, the brewery was being driven out of SF proper by labor costs, local regulatory madness, high energy prices, and the resale prospects of the premises.

Well, it didn't work out that way. The Israelis kicked ass, and easily repelled their attackers. And then they didn't feel any particular need to let the Palestinians come back in, take their properties back and return to business as usual. And why should they? Rather than help defend the country he lived in from outside attack, the average Palestinian chose to let his neighbors be slaughtered so he could have their stuff.
And that's presuming the countries attacking Israel would've actually kept their promise that everything would belong to the Palestinians afterwards. Being possessed of a rudimentary knowledge of history and human nature, I suspect the would-be conquerors would've said, "Fuck the Palestinians" and just carved the country up amongst themselves.

Reminds me. I saw the new Disney live-action Cinderella today. It was crap.
Cinderella makes her mark on Prince Robb Stark by interfering with a stag hunt, which stag is badly CGI'ed. Prince Robb Stark, meanwhile, phones it in worse than Jon Snow phoned it in in "Pompeii" and that is saying a lot. He's even embarrassed to pose in portraits where he's wielding a sword on a horse.
Helena Bonham Carter was okay as the fairy godmother so, there was that.
The realm under Queen Cinderella, I predict, will be overrun with vermin and deer rampaging through the kingdom's crops.
Also the kingdom itself will probably not last long when other kingdoms figure out that the place cares more for Social Justice than for actual, get this, self-preservation. Otto von Bismarck used to wipe his arse on duchies like this.

So if you had a quarter, you could buy a Hershey bar, feed it into the machine, and wind up with a dollar.

Today was a new brakelight, new hi beam, oiled all hinges, cleaned battery terminals, drilled holes in the plexiglass dash cover to free a couple of gauges from their pin jumped 'stuck' position, flushed the radiator, topped off fluids.
Still to do -- new wipers install, air filter change, tighten tranny pan bolts, buff headlight lenses, and clean the interior. It's my version of spring cleaning.

You rightly diss the normal, run of the mill Busch beer.
How. Ev. Errrrrrrrrrr.
They do make a recent variant, which may or may not yet exist in your market. It's selling like hotcakes in TX and OK.
Bush Signature Copper Lager.
Very nice amber beer, a color not unlike Killian's Irish Red, and a taste profile not terribly far from a Newcastle Ale.
5.7% ABV.
My local bodega? $5.49, six pack of 16 oz. cans.
And, it's pretty damn good in the bargain.
Poured into a chilled Pilsner glass, and it'll usually win or place in any given blind taste test. Very pretty beer, nothing objectionable about it.
Had they put it into a pretentious "Craft" label, and charged double, they'd have got away with it.
Hope you can find it. Your lawnmower season will be ever so less hideous.

In a room where you do what you don't confess
Sundown, you better take care
If I find you been creeping 'round my back stairs
Sundown, you better take care
If I find you been creeping 'round my back stairs
She's been looking like a queen in a sailor's dream
And she don't always say what she really means
Sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feeling better when I'm feeling no pain
Sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feeling better when I'm feeling no pain
I can picture every move that a man could make
Getting lost in her loving is your first mistake
Sundown, you better take care
If I find you been creeping 'round my back stairs
Sometimes I think it's a sin
When I feel like I'm winning when I'm losing again
I can see her looking fast in her faded jeans
She's a hard loving woman, got me feeling mean

When I get feeling better when I'm feeling no pain

Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed -- who never would be missed!
There's the pestilential nuisances who write for autographs --
All people who have flabby hands and irritating laughs --
All children who are up in dates, and floor you with 'em flat --
All persons who in shaking hands, shake hands with you like *that* --
And all third persons who on spoiling tete-a-tetes insist --
They'd none of 'em be missed -- they'd none of 'em be missed!
(Chorus
He's got 'em on the list -- he's got 'em on the list;
And they'll none of 'em be missed -- they'll none of 'em be missed.
And that Nisi Prius nuisance, who just now is rather rife,
The Judicial humorist -- I've got him on the list!
All funny fellows, comic men, and clowns of private life --
They'd none of 'em be missed -- they'd none of 'em be missed.
And apologetic statesmen of a compromising kind,
Such as -- What d'ye call him -- Thing'em-bob, and likewise -- Never-mind,
And 'St-- 'st-- 'st-- and What's-his-name, and also You-know-who --
The task of filling up the blanks I'd rather leave to you.
But it really doesn't matter whom you put upon the list,
For they'd none of 'em be missed -- they'd none of 'em be missed!

It pretty well describes what'd happened to every damned bit of chaparral, dirt-trails and canyon that I'd biked, hunted, motorcycled and hiked in San Diego in the days of my yoot.
Minus the stooped ass verse about the DDT and such, but there's nary a scrap of dirt I once trod that's not paved over or built high upon.
I loved growing up there. I'll never live there again. It's gone, and it's been gone for decades upon decades.
So yeah. I get the song. Minus the libtardisms, I get the song.
Most of us have similar places from our youth, too. Unless you grew up in Detroit, which is rapidly going back to nature. If only I could bear the winters there, I'd buy some city blocks to myself, and wall it off.

Good stuff as always, Fenelon. Thanks for sharing.
The one that really stood out on the page to me was the maxim about cutting off intrusive thoughts as they happen. A lot of people get themselves in trouble because they don't do that, and live in the moment, following whatever their whims are.
A lot of modern Christianity has fallen into the trap of no longer believing in the Devil as an external force of evil. Those intrusive thoughts have an origin, and that's where they come from.

are not too fond of Muslims because Muslims kill them off. I have attended other religious services. I just have a horror of a priest allowing the cross too be covered up in a Christian church because you are hosting a Muslim prayer service. I was once at an interfaith service for some historical event because a friend of mine was preaching. The Episcopal Minister of the church told her that should take off her pectoral cross because it might offend the Jews there. She said, "I am not taking it off; I am a Christian minister." She kept it on. The Rabbi has zilch to say about it. The only one who seemed to be offended was the dope who told her to take it off.

That chart showing "all" possible family relationships is in fact woefully incomplete.
My family (as I may have mentioned earlier) contains all sorts of familial relationships not covered by that supposedly comprehensive chart.
Why? Because the chart fails to take into account multiple marriages and infidelities.
My father, as the prime example, had four wives that we know of, and children with all of them; and very likely children with other women as well.
Furthermore, most of those wives and baby-mamas themselves has prior and successive husbands and baby-daddies with whom they also had children.
And then their children have grown up and had mottled romantic careers. Some of those in-laws stick around the family even after they are no longer technically "part" of the family.
So here's an example, out of real life.
When I go to the occasional big extended family reunions, one of my favorite people to hang out with and chat with is (let's just call her) Emily.
But what is Emily's relationship to me?
Let me try to explain this as clearly as I can.
I have a mother and a father. It was his third marriage. But prior to that marriage -- way prior, he had a daughter by his first wife. That daughter is, of course, my half-sister.
So, my half-sister (who is much, much older than me) got married to a guy who already had a daughter by a prior marriage -- this stepdaughter herself still actually older than me, even though she is my step-half-niece (???).
This step-half-niece had a husband, but they broke up. Even so, the husband was a great guy, and everyone liked him while they were married, so he became sort of part of the family, and remained so even after he got divorced from my step-half-niece. So he still came to family reunions.
What is his relationship to me? Well, I guess he's my half-step-ex-nephew-in-law? Is that right?
Anyway, after a few years, he got a new girlfriend, and began to bring her to the reunions too. Then they got married.
That new wife is Emily, my friend and "relative."
So she is my step-half-step-ex-nephew-in-law's-wife? Or...?????
So what I mean?
This is life in post-morality America, a phase in which my family were early pioneers.

Identify bits of true cover (not merely "concealment"), out to the extreme range of whatever it is that you might use.
Diagram it all, make range cards denoting the distance from said cover to every visible portal of the establishment in question, as well as likely routes of ingress/egress visible from said cover.
Don't tell a damn soul about your "homework". Just file it away for the proverbial "rainy day".

Sikhs are fine people. They have a lot of integrity and
are not too fond of Muslims because Muslims kill them off. I have
attended other religious services. I just have a horror of a priest
allowing the cross too be covered up in a Christian church because you
are hosting a Muslim prayer service. I was once at an interfaith service
for some historical event because a friend of mine was preaching. The
Episcopal Minister of the church told her that should take off her
pectoral cross because it might offend the Jews there. She said, "I am
not taking it off; I am a Christian minister." She kept it on. The Rabbi
has zilch to say about it. The only one who seemed to be offended was
the dope who told her to take it off.

They can be cast-iron sonsabitches, which -- natch -- I like and respect. You also get the feeling that they really won't lie to you, which is an advantage.
While concerns of the present always seem to get in the way, I've long considered attending a "Langar" to appreciate the culture and demonstrate my respect. Per Wikipedia: "The Sikh faith also participates in the custom of "Langar" or the community meal. All gurdwaras are open to anyone of any faith for a free meal. People can enter and eat together and are served by faithful members of the community. This is the main cost associated with gurdwaras and where monetary donations are primarily spent."

Don't jump to conclusions. I just appear to have my head on straight.
In truth, everybody in the family just laughs about it all at this stage, and no one really even tries to keep track of how anybody is related. It's just too, too confusing. And what makes it worse is that there are wild generational mismatches. The most extreme example is my father's last child ("Jennifer") and my eldest half-sister's first child ("Susie"). Biologically, Jennifer is Susie's aunt -- even though Susie was 30 years old when Jennifer was born.
Imagine having an aunt 30 years YOUNGER than you -- and even younger than your own children.

Than you for having acknowledged my post as regars to "Big Yellow Taxi", etc.
Know what my response evoked as an emotional response thereto?
Hank Williams: "I'm So Lonesome, I Could Cry".
Fits the feeling like a glove.
What's worse? I'm in the early stages of shopping liveaboard yachts, as I'm beginning to close out a landlubber chapter of my life. Part of that shopping, is the reviews sales resources in the boating world, including those for San Diego.
Dear GOD..... the place is gorgeous beyond words.
And I'm forbidden there. Even my post-canoe-capsizing armory would result in major prison time.
I'm a walking, talking, thinking, Human Thought Crime in those lands.
I grieve. Growing up there, it was solid Navy and Marine kind of Conservative bliss. Still, the liberal infection was taking root, even when I left in '76 to join the USAF.
I want to go back, but I cannot. That's pretty fkuking sad, and it hits down deep, to my very core.
When HOME is forbidden to you, it hurts. And it will hurt more worse with time, not less.

Indeed. -H/T to Fenelon.
This Overton Window moves and The Left squeals, "Rightward it tilts! Toward patriarchy and conquest it slides, ever-onward!"
The "center" moves left and the businesses try to keep pace.
"The Rich Rule the Day", squawk the never-oppressed amongst the Freedom.
"We shall squash the Religious and their ilk. Their God is False!, scream The Ones who will be currently beneficial of reward from coercion; "For they are the Occupiers and Modern Conquistadors! We shall make them pay!"
"Find the Rich and make them owe us an apology through their wealth! Be there Rules, Fees, Fines, Regulations and Taxes. Yes! Taxes! Make Them Pay After Death!!!"
"For why should their Kin be awarded unearned wealth when WE should be awarded unearned wealth!"
As we slowly slip into the tar pit of Social Justice, the History-Proof majority seems unaware. They sincerely believe that the Propaganda Media has their best interests at heart.
The trees seem the same. The sky seems the same. The sun rises and falls as the seasons change.
The difference moves Left, as The Constitution remains centered; Ignored and trampled as they simultaneously call it "A Living, Breathing Document".
...why should it be any different than a child that lies on a cold table after a soulless woman agrees to its death?

I disagree. Israel will be stronger after all the chains to the U.S. have been broken. After all the the chains to the useless nations have been broken.
It has been mommy u.n. with encouragement from the U.S. that has saved the arab war mongers every time.
Now that the Israelis can produce much of the consumable war material that they need, Egypt and Jordan have an unspoken but in reality Alliance/agreement with Israel, it may be different this time around.
When was the last time you heard Israel criticize Russia or vice versa? Israels trade with China is going up tons and even more with India?
You think India cares much about the islam problem?

This reminds me of Teh JEF threatening Syria a year or so ago. How did that work out?
If Teh JEF couldn't send a brigade or two to stomp out ISIS (an act approved, if not in fact begged-for, by everyone in the region) then he will do little more to Israel than issue sullenly snotty statements about what meanies they are for rejecting his desires and re-electing Netanyahu.

Well, the song sampled at the beginning of that Megadeth track -- "I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire" by The Ink Spots -- is what reminded me of the question. (And no, the answer is not "I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire" by The Ink Spots.)

But he's a lame duck and there are no more midterm elections.
He's pretty much gonna do what
He still has to worry about his legacy. He has a long string of failures, and no popular successes. This potential Israel fiasco has "Legacy Defining Moment" written all over it.
Val-Jar Blinks may hate Israel, but she does as she's told ... and the people that tell her are the smart ones, the ones who have much to gain and lose. They realize that Israel is not unpopular with the vast majority of Americans, and probably most Europeans. They may allow a lot of anti-Israel propaganda, and university activist rants, and better deals for everyone else ... but not letting Israel fall.

As far as I know, and anyone can correct me on this. The Israeli's have 6 Dolphin Class submarines. These subs are thought to be converted by the Israeli's to be capable of launching nuclear equipped cruise missiles.
To my recollection Israel will eventually have 12 of these boats in service. How soon that will happen? No guess from me.
The common consensus by those that claim to be "in the know" puts the Israeli nuclear warhead stock pile at around 300 of various sizes. I would say that this is a gross understatement.
In my opinion, Israel is just like the United States in important aspect. Now. They can only be brought down in total, from within.

What was the first anti-nuclear song to reach the Top 100 on the US charts?
Answer:
"Please Send Me Someone To Love" by the Moonglows, from 1957!
The song was originally written in 1950 by Percy Mayfield, and he later said the lyrics originally referred to racial conflict. But when the Moonglows released their cover version 7 years later, they later claimed in interviews that they understood the lyrics to be a reference to nuclear war, and our need to avoid it!
The lyrics are:
"Heaven please send to all mankind
Understanding and peace of mind
But if it's not askin' too much
Please send me someone to love
I'd show the world how
To get along
Peace will enter
Where hate has gone
But if it's not askin' too much
Please, please send me someone to love
I lay awake at nights
And find the world so troubled
And my answer is always the same
That unless man put an end
To this horrible sin
Hate will put the world in a flame
What a shame
Just because I'm in misery
I don't beg for no sympathy
But if it's not askin' too much
Please send me someone to love"
Reached #73 on the pop charts.
(The original 1950 Percy Mayfield release never reached the pop charts anyway.)

Another interesting factoid:
The shape we now call "the peace symbol" -- ☮ -- was originally designed as an anti-nuclear logo intended to be used for just one anti-nuke march in England in 1958.
Somehow it caught on, was re-used after the march, then American anti-nuke activists copied it in 1959, and then it spread to the general anti-war movement in '64.

While you were growing up in the SF Bay area, I was growing up where we regularly visited Knott's Berry Farm, which actually had an office of the John Birch Society on the premises (I remember seeing it and having my parents tell me that they were cranks). They also told me that the society was named after the first martyr of the Cold War, which was more than the Chad Mitchell Trio allowed.

I think the decision's being made for us, each bleak day by bleak day. Remember: You can't have a decent civil war without 'the other'. Right now, anyone in full-throated support of the Constitution is a rebel, a revolutionary to this government 'of the government, by the government, for the government'. No, the corrals have been already built and we're being herded through chutes now thanks to that Gramscian march through the education system, with the added bonus of its refocusing journalism from 'who, what, when, where and why' to 'change the world'. When this government attacks Israel, I will be a criminal for opposition to this cabal. That event will also be a major chute in the corral, with Valerie Jarrett, all Mengele-like, flicking her finger left or right, deciding the fate of thousands. It's what leftists always do: Decide the fate of thousands of 'wreckers', usually by outright killing them.

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love,
Where there is injury, pardon,
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope,
Where there is darkness, light;
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so muck seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

I think it's entirely possible that the last of the snow here will be gone by July.
August, for sure.
Of course it's only 29 right now, and the forecast is for an inch of fresh snow tomorrow....

A much-hailed law that restricted the opening of new stand-alone fast-food restaurants in one of the poorest sections of Los Angeles did not curb obesity or improve diets, a new study found.
I guess that is another no-shit item for today. People with more than one working brain cell already knew this would not work. So what is the answer? Why more government control of course, oh, and more free shit for the FSA.

And carbon's blamed for every ill of man
But spring is here and you can't go out and tan
And it's the hottest winter despite Boston snows,

IBD takes on Holder's BS report on racism in the Ferguson PD. We already have posted on all the stupid lies in that report, but note this little gem in this IBD column.
Even some conservatives condemned the Ferguson police department.
"It is disgusting", said Karl Rove, and Steve Hayes of the Weekly Standard called it "deeply troubling. And I think everybody should be troubled, blacks, whites, Republicans, Democrats."
I contend not one of these assholes is a "conservative", they are all part and parcel of the RNCe.
