Why does anyone think it appropriate that the lobby of another (tiny) country should control, or even openly and proudly attempt to control, American politics and foreign policy with donations (i.e. bribes)? No other country on earth attempts this, for if it did, it would be a huge scandal, and rightly so. Yet Israel gets a free pass. Why? Surely, it’s absurd logic, as some may claim, that because Israel is “our closest ally in the region,” it follows as the day the night that it SHOULD therefore be given a unique free pass to attempt to control both our parties and American foreign policy with cash.

Japan is both infinitely more important as an ally and Asia infinitely more important as a region than little Israel and the “Middle East.” Yet Americans would be flabbergasted if there were a Japanese lobby eagerly buying our politicians in both parties in order to control our foreign policy.

Nothing has changed since Washington left office to invalidate in the slightest degree his sternest warning in his Farewell Address never to allow our affairs to get so entangled with those of another country that their interests could ever supercede our own. Yet that happens regularly with our entanglement with Israel. That’s not best for America, however much of a unique bonanza it has been for Israel.

Guys, none of this rightward lunacy exists outside Carlson and a few others. And Tucker and his odd giggle have been unbalanced since Jon Stewart ended his first career twenty plus years ago.

We are way over rotation on this stuff. Go outside and see the sun.
