Is America A Sleeping GIant or Just A Big Dumb Oaf?

quite surprisingly, and contrary to all peace-loving, evil-excusing liberal ideology, the "palestinians" have elected hamas (proud originators of the suicide bomb terrorists) to REPRESENT them as a people. now, maybe this is just my corrupt western ideology talking, but i'm thinking that if you freely vote for someone to represent you (meaning stand for/further/work to attain your interests and ideals), and that someone happens to be a sick scummy terrorist, then you, by your own definition of yourself, are a sick scummy terrorist too. maybe you don't actually strap on the bomb belt, maybe you are just a wannabe, but if your heroes are a bunch of psychos who want to blow up innocent human beings (for what ideal, again?) that makes a statement about YOU.

so, i'm waiting with the anticipation that grips someone who is about to watch the 15th instant replay of a football player blowing out his knee or an ice skater crashing his skull and breaking his neck. i'm cringing and somewhat nauseated, but oddly drawn to watching what will come next. what am i waiting for? i'm waiting to see how the lefties will spin the election results to explain how the arabs really do want peace and how hamas is really not a terrorist group who has never waivered from their commitment to try to annihilate israel. i know that hamas, in a beautiful showing of their kindler gentler side (no, i did not say manipulative and conniving...) makes summer camps for kids (terrorist-in-training camps?) and gives lemonade to thirsty ctizens. but can anyone honestly say that the "palestinian" people voted in hamas for anything but their hatred of the jews? are there lefties out there who, in spite of their idealization of 3rd world peoples, would suggest that the very arabs they so idealize are so stupid that they would vote for more lemonade and not know about the terrorism dispensed by their duly elected representatives?

i know the justifications will soon flow as freely as the anti-semitism they mask. i know that the misguided love of the seeming" underdog" will soon guide the discussions of either how positive hamas can be for the "oppressed" people, or how the "palestinians" were driven by desperation (over what?) to elect corrupt hamas over corrupt fatah. but i am still so curious to see how this will all play out. will the "sleeping giant" countries finally wake up and smell the scuds?

also, i am waiting for someone to explain, in a coherent and well-reasoned way, why this double standard of acceptability is not only tolerated- it is embraced.

how much money are the US, England, Canada, and other do-gooder nations throwing at this new "palestinian state"? how many weapons have we given them to control thier citizens that will eventually be used to kidnap non-combatants or to slaughter pre-schoolers?

really don't tell me, because i may become ill (or psychotic, or both).

it's the same question i have, over and over and over again, that nobody can give a good answer to. why would it be an abomination to arm the nazis, but not to arm the arabs? why is aryan nation a group of hatemongers, while the PLO is a group of freedom fighters? i come back to this point again and again in hopes that someone out there can shed some light. so, if you think you've got the answer, please post.

otherwise, please send duct tape.
