Opinion Ron Paul: Not a Friend of Israel (or Jews?)
For those keeping up with the Republican primary and the incredible dunk tank quality it’s taken on, you know that it is Ron Paul’s turn to get wet (if he isn’t already soaked). On the question of his alleged anti-Semitism and anti-Semitism and anti- lots of other things we were provided some damning insight the…

Opinion A Piece of Hasbara Aimed at Alienating Me
Usually when another blogger sufficiently channels my own anger about something that has me piqued, I tend to just try and let it go and give them the last word.
