With more and more chemophobes and irrational thinkers coming out of our public school system and refusing vaccinations, we can expect previously eradicated illnesses to make a come-back. And with the failure of the federal government to protect vaccine makers from the threat of exorbitant liability lawsuits for the inevitable few adverse effect cases, we are losing the capacity to even produce adequate vaccines. But the federal government is too busy telling Wisconsin how to run its business, and suing Arizona for trying to do the feds' work that the feds are failing at.

The "1,400 mostly civilian" deaths is not established by the Goldstone report at all.

The very wording of some of the charges you quote below demonstrates the bias of the report, since it ascribes motives and intentions to people who weren't interviewed and whose motives had never been placed in evidence. The legal objection "lack of foundation" needed to be remembered here, and wasn't.

The parts I've read also show a selective skepticism about the reliability of testimony or other evidence - if it supports Israeli claims, it's viewed skeptically, while if it supports Hamas's claims, it's viewed as inherently trustworthy.

As I said, "Baloney."

According to Judge Goldstone, his report is basically the presentation of a prima facie case, not a judicial investigation or "proof" of crimes. Meaning, since Israel did not participate in the investigation, that a bunch of Gazan people interviewed by investigators in front of Hamas "guides" (blatant witness tampering) made claims of "war crimes" that were not, on their face, obviously false. That doesn't make them true. As Goldstone himself said: If "this were a court of law there would have been nothing proven. ... I would not consider it in any way embarrassing if many of the allegations turn out to be disproved."

The Constitution was "written over 100 years ago"? Wouldn't someone who actually KNEW when it was written have said "over 200 years ago"?

Calling these people "peace activists" is ridiculous, and shows up AFP and this writer as propagandists for Hamas. People who deliberately try to foment hatred and violence on behalf of a murderous group like Hamas have nothing to do with peace.
And who says there were 1,400 Palestinian "mostly civilian" deaths as a result of Israel's actions against Hamas? Hamas? Baloney.

Wake-up call number 1001 - relying on government to feed and protect you in a disaster is only slightly wiser in the U.S. than in Pakistan. Fail to prepare = prepare to fail.

He either needs to get back on his meds or get his dosage adjusted. Unless he's auditioning for "American Demagogue."

I can't think of a single thing the SEIU has ever done for me. On the other hand, Bank of America has helped me finance my home, four rental properties and my business, all at reasonable interest rates and with great customer service. But then again, I did pay them back and I didn't take out loans to go on vacation or buy a new car every five years. Did Bank of America take advantage of a bunch of spendthrifts? I don't know, but if they hadn't someone would have. As the saying goes, "A fool and his money are soon parted."

Seems to me I read that Washington D.C. has more cops per capita than anywhere else in the country, but one of the highest crime rates in the country. Now I understand why - the cops are all off protecting union thugs. Who pays those cops? D.C. residents? Or is it all taxpayers in fly-over country?

Typical liberal - no doubt opposed the death penalty for Ted Bundy, but thinks a banker's teen-aged son should be burned to death.
