Posted on 05/23/11 at 06:30 am in response to The case against Netanyahu as a peacemaker

"repeatedly refused even to come to the negotiating table, until one after another of their "preconditions" have been met"

Which preconditions has Netenyahu met ?

Have they stopped taking Palestinian land for settlements? This is nothing but the usual right wing talking points.

Netenyahu has allied himself with the right wing in this country. The right wing along with quite a few of the AIPAC crowd do not believe that Obama is a true American and somehow the "truth" is...

Hey Neal - Still hanging on to the "kill all the Jews" canard to justify screwing the Palestinians over.

During 1960's there were Black Panthers who wanted to kill all whites. So do u think we should have withheld civil rights from all blacks.

Before u tell me what to read, you probably ought to read a few quotes by Israeli leaders starting in the early 1900's and latest with Liberman.

It is not the question of how much land Arabs control. That is just a silly arguments. Can i turn around and say "Look how much land Christians control in the West so let me take some of it." ?

The UN gave Israel some land. Now rather than being happy with it, you want to start the usual "Jordan is Palestine" nonsense....

As expected Neal avoids any questions regarding statements of Israeli leaders like Liberman.

Focusing on a few idiot Islamic fanatics serves his purpose well. Cause then he does not have to answer questions regarding the great Israeli land grab. How does that promote peace, never mind, just keep focussing on the hyperbole Neal.

Also notice, he never wants to compare the rights of Arabs in Israel and under Israeli control with say Muslims in India. After all that would prove...

Firstly more muslims remained in India than left to Pakistan. Even today there are more muslims in India than in Pakistan.

Muslims in India have more "real" rights in India than in Israel. India has and had army commanders, presidents, nuclear scientists, cultural stars, cricket heroes you name it who are Muslims. Why, because it is a true equal state. I challenge u to state that Israel is a true equal state for Muslims.

That is why people like you and Netenyahu will always...

Posted on 05/20/11 at 07:06 am in response to Gov. Mark Dayton enters GOP session to a warm ovation but leaves on a chillier note

I generally support more money for my kids teachers etc.

However using the DFL solution of more money for everything is going to solve any problems. Take a look at education. When the DFL had control of both houses, did they pass any reform. Zero, Nada Zip.

Go to DFL towns like St. Louis Park. They run the most segregated schools in the state. Minorities and poor are basically shunted to one or two schools. Their access to the Parks department is zero. The moment they ask for...

We pay $80 for simple kiddy soccer where the fields are free. Yet DFLers pretend as if there is no runaway spending in the local governments. Compromise is a convenient word to make the other guy pay.

So u want $80 for an 8 year old to kick a ball for 6 weeks. That would be in addition to the property taxes that are collected to maintain those fields. Yet u claim as if thats the only money being collected for those fields

Do you ever wonder why there are no minorities playing soccer in any of these suburbs. That is because people like you justify every expense rather than rationalizing any spending.

It is not a two way street, rather a one way street where...

Yes, when multiple teams use the fields then the cost would be much lower in maintaining those fields (that is in addition to the property taxes we pay). The costs are not due to the costs of maintaing fields and such, rather the bloated payrolls of vested interests and other kumbayah projects. Why would they cut any expenses, as long as they got the "common good" crown that will justify every expense.

I lived in St. Louis Park and did exactly what you suggest. I worked the numbers...

"Raj: have you considered the $80 dollars cover the costs associated with your child and perhaps part of the cost of another's child, who cannot afford the $80?"

I delved through soccer accounting in the City of St. Louis Park in far greater detail than u can imagine.

You can ask the Sec. of State for the file on the City Soccer club. You will find some very interesting filings after i started asking questions.

When i started asking these questions...
