How is that an insult of a huge swath of Americans? Pundits and commentators for many years have remarked on Americans' conflicting relationship with Congress and their own representatives.
I do hope you find comfort one day soon - you seem to be deeply troubled by most every word I post.
-B. Hussein Obama is a good example. They say it's Israel they don't like, to try to cover their animosity toward Jews in general.Most leftists are strongly anti-Semitic-
I'm pretty relaxed right now, but say, didn't you see that post of yours I liked the other day. And btw, calling the average American voter schizophrenic is not going to be received as a compliment, and I'm real concerned for your health that that needs to be pointed out.
No need to fret - better for your sanity if you simply ignore my posts from now on - to help out, I'll ignore yours.
Blacks are at most 13% in this nation, and overwhelmingly liberal.
Which means that this is a heavily biased poll intended to move opinion, not an objective poll.
well, i'm not gonna even adress the " left is anti-Semitic" nonense.... that's a bunch of bull**** best left in the dustbin
that said, I'm not certain why so many lefties have such a big problem with Bibi addressing congress.. .they seem to be dead set against it for some reason.
is it a matter of congress not going through Obama, or it is something else?
if it's about Obama, well.. folks need to be made aware that Congress is a separate branch and they are not required to operate at Obama's whim and will.... in addition, Obama has done a few end around over Congress, and these same folks thought that was a good thing, so they can't really complain about Congress not going through Obama without being hypocritical.
in any event, Congress is acting well within their powers and they are not required to go through Obama to arrange a congressional witness... period, end of story...
I haven't heard the left complain about Bibi addressing congress. I heard complaints of constitutional and protocol breaches to do it.
there is no Constitution breach...
there is a protocol breach, though... but again, Obama has gone around Congress on multiple occasions, with widespread support from the left..... why their sudden concern over protocol if it doesn't involve some sort of opposition to Bibi or Israel?
Constitutionally, the president is in charge of foreign policy.

interesting on its own
perhaps even more interesting.
:shock:
When looking at these two in concert,
Are we finally seeing a shift in the general populace with respect to our policies with Israel?
Still ashamed that Congress gave into Netanyahu's cheap election ploy.
Yeah I really don't see why Congress thought it was appropriate to bring in the guy in the middle of an election. We should try to stay out of the democratic process of other nations as much as possible.
Spite. Pure unadulterated spite. The action of a petty narrow mind.
Most leftists are strongly anti-Semitic--B. Hussein Obama is a good example. They say it's Israel they don't like, to try to cover their animosity toward Jews in general.
Thank you. I agree with you totally. Netanyahu is trying to show his clout and is in step with the manipulative Republican Party who are having conniptions because President Obama used executive Powers which btw has been used many times before by other presidents. Remember when Ted Cruz and his ilk shut down the government last year because of the Affordable Care Act, a bill that was already the law of the land?! The Government shutdown lost billions of dollars because of intransigent Republicans.
Yes, and those same jews are secular, essentially only "ethnic" jews.
They are also very pro-Israel. Here's a list of Jews in congress....
List of Jewish American politicians - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There isn't one single Jewish person in the current GOP congress. Not one.
Why would Bibi want to alienate the US Jews? Does he think he has enough support in US congress without them? He's angry at Obama for trying to negotiate a deal with Iran and he wants to tell his side. That's fine, but if he wants in on the negotiations then he should sign the nuclear arms treaty, too.

What a steaming pile that is....Maybe you'd be happier in a dictatorship.
Who appointed you to speak for American Jews...or liberals for that matter?These secular jews are liberals. Liberals aren't very pro-israel.
Besides, I dont hear the left making the argument that Bibi can only speak if some majority are pro-israel, do you?
In any case, regardless of the facts-libs will cry.
But Bibi is going to speak anyway so get used to it.
:roll:
You do not even know a tiny fraction of all leftists. So for you to claim (in a matter-of-fact manner no less) that you know what most of them think about ANY subject - let alone whether most of them are 'strongly anti-Semetic' - is ridiculous in the extremis.
Btw, I am neither a lefty or righty.
Who appointed you to speak for American Jews...or liberals for that matter?
If by secular you mean that American Jews love the Constitution and it's separation of church and state then you'd be right. But you aren't.
All the Jewish members in congress will be attending Bibi's speech, so maybe you should get used to it.

If you don't want to end up in a dictatorship, you should oppose ALL extra-constitutional behavior by presidents.
