Comments on: A moment of your time https://thenewneo.com/2015/03/17/a-moment-of-your-time/ A blog about political change, among other things Tue, 17 Mar 2015 18:50:31 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Daniel in Brookline https://thenewneo.com/2015/03/17/a-moment-of-your-time/#comment-879830 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 18:50:31 +0000 http://neoneocon.com/?p=47598#comment-879830 Slightly off-topic:

I noticed, on Legal Insurrection, an interesting news item from Israel. Prime Minister Netanyahu wanted to make a statement to the nation… and was blocked from doing so,, by the Israeli Elections Committee. By the head of that committee, it seems, who is also both an Israeli Supreme Court Justice and an Israeli Arab!

In Israel, the Prime Minister himself can be silenced, on election day, to avoid even the appearance of electoral irregularities… by an Israeli Arab Supreme Court Justice.

Now please, tell me more about Israel as an apartheid state…

We need more activists.
If more are not found or grown or developed within the conservative movement, we shall lose more ground. Hardly affordable given the condition of our country; social and politically.
Your efforts are under appreciated. Not enough conservatives are motivated to take action.
Not nearly enough.
They just don’t get it.
Most conservatives prefer to let the chips fall where they may, “Let someone else do it, I’m not political.”
I’ve been a conservative for several decades. In college, I stood up for Reagan’s defense of positions on nuclear armament. Fought against Jimmy Carter’s feckless foreign and economic policies. And against his overall friendliness towards Yasser Arafat.
That said, I did inhale. More than once. Then, I decided only to exhale from that point forward.
{…sigh…}
It might seem a small thing, to make an effort to enlist the help of others in this poll. A small thing to some. Except that it is not. Especially considering the few who will actually engage.
I look forward to the small victories. Thank you.

How about a poll cutting off US funds to Palestinians? Reducing our funding of the UN? ( leaving might be counter-productive)

Too bad they didn’t have a second poll calling for a boycott of palestinian products. That is a cause I can support. Not that they make anything.

Vote early and often… just like they do…
