After the party was beaten in November, Obama and his idiot buddies took home exactly the wrong message. One of them was that the Dems got creamed because Obama was too liberal. One way he was too liberal, I assume, was in his extremely principled opposition to continuing settlement building in the West Bank.
This noble line was pursued for two years. This was one of the hardest US lines against Israel in a very long time, possibly in years. Now, after November, Obama announced a new line. The Administration will abandon its opposition to continued Israeli settlement building. Such opposition was making a peace settlement difficult, and the Administration wants to concentrate on a peace settlement. Another rightwing move by Obama. The tax cut deal will not be a lone compromise.
Obama is just getting started. For the next two years, nearly every new day will see a new rightwing outrage by Obama. Lock, stock and barrel. At least under George Bush they did.
One problem is that Gordon Duff is a first-class nutball, a crazy anti-Semite and conspiratorial anti-Zionist. The Jews are behind everything, you know. However, assuming that this is a real source, this highly-placed person certainly has a lot of great information. Wikileaks sheds light on this sickening government of ours and all their disgusting underhanded, lying, cheating, stealing crap.
A very interesting comment by Wade From MO. I happen to agree with him, but feel free to discuss. I get so tired of IQ reductionism. Nature provides the clay, cultures the sculptor! I think it is quite an interesting question. German philosophy is widely know as being highbrow and almost impenetrable read Kant. It is traditionally more idealistic in outlook. Men like David Hilbert, Albert Einstein, and Gottlieb Frege made great breakthroughs in science that also had a huge philosophical significance.
