I care for kids, families, the sick and the elderly, working class, middle class, and every American. To end poverty and advance the American Dream, I am Libertarian Girl.
Imagine that you had an Orthodox rabbi in Jerusalem, who called for massacres of Palestinian civilians. He was arrested by the Palestinians, and they let him go with the caveat that he stop calling for the massacres. He’s soon back at his same old spiel, praising Jews who kill Arabs and other such nonsense. Soon, [...]
“The first thought that enters an Israeli’s head when he wakes up in the morning is, Fuck you. It’s there before he even has an idea to whom he wants to say ‘Fuck you.’” - Israeli academic Dan Schueftan Of course, the above could be equally attributable to Palestinians, and I guess that’s really our [...]
It’s a big question, perhaps the biggest of all those facing the world today. You hear about it all the time, and so many events are occurring right now in the region that they barely make the news unless they include the drama of CCTV images and a Mossad hit. Israel, Palestine, Zionism, the Arab [...]
One thing that disgusted me equally about Sarah Palin and Joe Biden last night was their proclamation of a “passion” and deep, abiding “love” for a foreign country during an American presidential campaign. I turned to those watching with me and said, “Could they get away with saying that about any of our other allies? [...]
Note: Libertarian Girl is off to Europe, but while she’s away she’ll be updating with previously written posts about politics and life in the places she’s visiting. She’ll soon be back to her regularly scheduled Libertarian Girl programming. You can’t get very far in Austria without being reminded of the country’s Nazi past. Austria was [...]
Before the invasion of Iraq, Buchanan wrote: “With our MacArthur Regency in Baghdad, Pax Americana will reach apogee. But then the tide recedes, for the one endeavor at which Islamic people excel is expelling imperial powers by terror or guerrilla war. They drove the Brits out of Palestine and Aden, the French out of Algeria, [...]
That was my favorite chant at the anti-war protest march I attended today for the fifth anniversary of the Iraq War. The ironic thing is that the people chanting it happily give their vote to those very members of Congress who claim they’re anti-war and yet allocate more and more funding for it; when there [...]
I recently received a survey from the “Republican Senate Leadership” with an enclosed letter from Senator John Ensign which says that I, as a “loyal grassroots Republican,” have been selected as a “representative of ALL REPUBLICANS living in your voting district” and the survey– of which only limited numbers were sent out– must be accounted [...]
I spent the weekend in Miami and was on my way home early Tuesday morning when I heard on the radio that Fidel Castro had decided to hand power over to his brother. When I told the friend driving with me the news, and how disappointing it was that we had just left Miami and [...]
I’ve been against the Iraq War from the start, but since we’re in it, and since leaders are saying that we might invade Iran or Pakistan or even other countries in addition to what we’ve gotten ourselves into in Iraq, we have to think of what our policy will be if and when we make [...]
