      Shalom Malkah (Shalom Yishai),
       
      So check it.  I live in downtown Portland, Oregon which is a very liberal place.  I have also seen that we have had major pro gaza protests 3 blocks from my home. (they're lucky i have a day job....)  I put my flag in the window on day one of the conflict, knowing I'd be proud to get a brick through it, if it in fact came to that.
       
      Shalom,
      Ben from Portland

      Mr Yishai,


      Great show. I am writing because you made a brilliant observation that i had not considered-that America was about the same age as Israel is now when confronted with an ideological war. I am pleased that Israel at this time is remaining unified in its resolve. I hope that the war will keep Israel unified and not result in the giving away of more land. Though its been difficult to watch the events taking place in Israel, I remain hopeful that more and more people will begin to understand the ideological war that is taking place between freedom and tyranny.

      I kept thinking about lincoln's speeches and wow what a parallel-especially the "house divided speech". Lincoln had an absolute genius for stating his case with eloquent simplicity. Though people have argued that Lincoln was not "religious", I do not believe this to be true. I believe he was absolutely a man of faith, perhaps not a "christian" in the traditional sense-but more pragmatic, so to speak.

      I live close to Lincoln's boyhood home in Gentryville, IN. When I was growing up, he was one of my heroes and I enjoyed reading books about him.

      During his formative years, Lincoln had a deep love for learning and books in a time and place when books were largely scarce. It is reputed that the ONLY book the Lincoln's owned was the family BIBLE. While some argue that Lincoln's religious inflections were simply used for rhetorical purposes in his speeches-I most fervently disagree. When a man eschews popularity for the cause of a greater good, with full knowledge of the vehement hatred of the oppostion, then that man is propelled by the greater good itself. I submit that, like the founding fathers, from an early age the principles of the law and the prophets were etched upon his soul with no less than an iron pen, and that Lincoln referred to them and spoke of them not simply to address the demographic, but because he simply could not do otherwise!

      G-d bless the brave men and women of the IDF,

      Gordon

      Yishai, Shalom,

      I thought your defense of serving in the IDF was very well stated.
       
      But you're critics were not convinced. As long as the state continues its current policies, they will remain in the goldene medina.
       
      Well, perhaps their goldene medina now has a slightly different yellow hue, that of bananas.Or as one columnist put it, the US is a banana republic without the bananas.
       
      For example
      * President-elect Obama has never proven that he is a native-born American citizen as required for the presidency.There is much evidence, whether he was born in Kenya or took on Indonesian citizenship, that he is not qualified.Yet every challenge brought to various federal courts have all been denied.
       
      *The $700 bail-out bill.  It  was supposed to be "for Main St., not Wall St."Yet, Henry Paulson took the money and gave it to his friends on Wall St. When Leslie Stahl asked Congressman Barney Frank about how Americans were looted of $700 billion for nothing, here's what he said:

      http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/12/11/60minutes/main4663945_page2.shtml

      "Secretary Paulson is refusing to use that money that Congress voted to reduce foreclosures. The bill says he’s supposed to. He won’t do that," Frank says.

      "You wrote the bill," Stahl points out. "You’re, quote, 'the smartest man in Congress.' How did it happen that you wrote a bill that the secretary of treasury has the power not to fulfill in the way you wanted it fulfilled?"

      "Because there’s a metaphor that works here: you cannot push on a string. There’s no Constitutional way to force them to do things," Frank says.

      "But didn’t you write the bill in a way that allows him to do this? And you could have written it differently," Stahl remarks.

      "No. There’s no way you can force people to do things," Frank says.

      Really, Barney Frank, there's no way that Congress can decide what is  done with the taxpayer's money.  Is America really a constitutional republic or an oligarchy, an reverseRobin-hood state, where the poor are robbed to further enrich the wealthy ?
