Yep. If there’s one thing you can say about us Israelis, it’s that we’re huge NASCAR fans. ---

[QUOTE=Alessan] Not to mention bacon - yummy, crunchy bacon. We can’t get enough of it. [/QUOTE] I imagine pork products are a real big seller in Israel, just like non-kosher processed meat. I dream of someday opening the Oscar Mayer franchise down there. The mystery foul I could do without, though, so I don’t plan on moving to follow my wonderful business idea 🙂 ---

[QUOTE=Sevastopol] I fail to see why this is controversial. Wasn’t that the deal? Support for the war insofar as WMD will appear. If that condition fails all decent and reasonable people applaud every blow to the US presence in Iraq. [/quote] I guess I’m not decent and reasonable then… > [@](#): > > I mean I’m right aren’t I? No. > [@](#): > > The sole basis of support for the US presence is from Americans, because they are Americans. Racism: to turn a phrase. No. This isn’t even about support for the US presence in Iraq. It’s about not wishing death on people simply to further your policy goals. ---

For me, the strange thing about **Der Trihs** is he reminds me of me…when I was 17. He’s all piss and vinegar against religion and government, which is fine, but he limits himself to the two subjects he knows the most about; Christianity and American politics. Because of this it seems he’s without perspective and so his arguments lack credibility. ---

I’m still back on page on, trying to figure out how exactly **Der Trihs** represents “the position of the left.” 😕 And if that is the case, is Mr Moto “the right”? There are no other positions than these? Again, 😕 I like\*\* Der Trihs\*\*. To me, he is comes across as all piss and vinegar, but at least he’s not picayune and whiney. He uses hyperbole quite a bit and IMO some here take all he says to the letter. I read him more as expressing his frustrations at events that dismay him. YMMV. ---

I don’t know about **DT** – he doesn’t seem to care much for the Dems, although he considers the Pubbies worse. But if you look at issues one at a time, \*\*DT \*\*will generally take what is considered the position of the left. Not all the time, of course, but on most of the common issues that pop in GD: Iraq, abortion, taxes, free trade, death penalty, etc. That doesn’t necessarily mean that he represents “the left”, but he does usually take the position generally associated with “the left”.
