My comment to the NYT

In response to this article: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/15/us/politics/obama-israel-policies-may-cost-democrats-votes.html

Let's have the 1.7% of the U.S. population that is Jewish carry the tab for our military interventions in the Middle-East, then. In the words of the epic Battlestar Galactica, what the frak do I, a standard non-religious American, care about the security of some country across the planet? Why should my tax dollars go to violently stirring up the big bucket of religious sh*t that is the Middle-East? As George Washington warned us about foreign countries, like Israel, in his farewell address:

\"Excessive partiality for one foreign nation and excessive dislike of another cause those whom they actuate to see danger only on one side, and serve to veil and even second the arts of influence on the other. Real patriots who may resist the intrigues of the favorite are liable to become suspected and odious, while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people, to surrender their interests.\"

We should stop letting dual-citizenship Jews dictate our foreign policy. If they want to wage war in the Middle-East, let them vote for war in their own, exclusive country. Leave the rest of us to rebuild our nation.
