Well, gee… it’s about time. Take note that the call to cut off aid isn’t coming from the U.S. Snake Department. Lawmakers Call for U.S. to Cut Off Aid to Palestinians.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are calling for the U.S. government to cut off aid to the Palestinians after the government in the West Bank reached a tentative unity agreement with Hamas, a U.S.-designated terror group.
The calls from top-ranking members of Congress were laced with warnings that the U.S. risks financing terrorist operatives if aid continues. Significantly, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairwoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., noted that a 2006 law conditions U.S. aid on the requirement that its Palestinian recipients renounce violence and recognize Israel’s right to exist.
Those requirements were fulfilled when aid was going to the Palestinian Authority, controlled by the West Bank-based Fatah. But rocket-firing Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, does not abide by those conditions.

Congressman West statement on Unity Government between the Palestinian Authority and Hamas
@ 1389AD:
YESSSS!!! My man Allen West. He’s the real deal and at the top of my list. Nobody else is even close.
@ 1389AD:
Obama may have no choice in this because it’s illegal in America to fund Hamas. If Fatah and Hamas truly join forces, Obama can’t really ask Israel to make concessions to the “Palestinians” anymore either.
The Oslo Accords are dead (as well they should be) and it sounds like this death may be on the way to becoming official.
@ Eliana:
Obama doesn’t care if it’s illegal. He just wants to support his friends of the Islamic faith since it’ll make them our friends.
Jackass.
This should probably be a thread.

Don’t expect Boehner and the GOP political Eunuchs to do anything about this.
Any time they spend producing enough to feed themselves and thier children is time they can’t spend killing people.
It is cruel to send aid to people who use it to feed the men who are killing.
Fatah does not recognize Israel either. NO US tax dollars to any of them!
@ Prebanned:
We are subsidizing the Palestinian war machine. That must stop. Divest from “Palestine” now!
Don’t expect that Eunuch Boehner and his gang to do anything about this.
The usual State Department double-talk. Cut off the P.A. whether Hamas is a part of the government or not.

The Carter Center issued a statement on Friday, hailing the reconciliation deal signed by once rivals Hamas and Fatah Wednesday evening in Cairo.
The center, founded in 1982 by former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn, commended members of Hamas and Fatah for ” having the vision to begin the process of reunifying the Palestinian people”, saying that the Egyptian brokered deal provides a framework to resolve many of the longstanding issues faced by the Palestinian people in both Gaza and the West Bank

We’ll see. There are lies, damn lies, and statistics. Polls are all three. The only poll that matters is taken in November. That is as true of Obama’s popularity as it is the Tea Party’s. We’ll see what November 2012 brings us. I think the Republicans hold the House and take the Senate, but Obama may hang on for another four years.

@ Macker:
Yeah, but if I were a betting man, that is what I’d bet on. The reason we get the Senate is that the Democrats up for election in Republican States will be replaced, but whomever our nominee is won’t take enough states to win. We need another Reagan, but I don’t see him or her. The GOP establishment has killed (or mostly killed) Sarah Palin, and I think she was the only person who could realistically have beaten Obama. You need someone with a compelling story, someone with Star power. Palin could have been that if the Establishment hadn’t decided they’d rather have four more years of Obama than eight of Sarah.
@ Iron Fist:
Sadly, I agree.

Make Obama play defense this time. his inherent nastiness comes out when he is on the defensive and that only helps us.

I consider it a serious possibility. We are going to become insolvent, and when that happens, the Federal Government will cease to operate. All those millions of drones who suck off the public tit will not “work”‘ for free. Nor will the military function, nor the interstates be repaired, or any of the other legitimate functions of the Federal Government be executed. It will be interesting, that is for sure.

I was not saying that democracy (or, more properly, a republic) was bad, but rather, that Islam causes democracy to disappear.
Problem is, shari’a law effectively forbids democracy. Adherents to shari’a law feel compelled by their backward 7th century mentality to use the popular sovereignty that they enjoy under the democracy to vote away their own liberties and to transform the democracy into a theocratic dictatorship under shari’a law.
Yes, democracy allows people to make bad choices. Adherence to Islam makes those bad choices inevitable.
