Entry: Lobby? What Lobby? Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/lobby_what_lobby#19087 Post contents: Just the tone of the New York Times above is revealing. Their whole aura presupposes an acceptance of AIPAC as a kind of benign force simply working out its life cycle in rather pedestrian ways. One would have to ask if there are similar sentiments at the Times regarding the public face of the Boy Scouts or the gun lobby, not that the two belong in anyway together or that yours truly has anything at all positive to say about hunting or hunters generally. But I'd bet there aren't. In my view, there could be no more just a reason than what's offered here by Raimondo for the calling of a general strike and the organization of mass protests alla Ukraine, 2006, aimed at bringing down the whole affair. Perhaps the sinking dollar, the resulting increasing price for oil, the credit abomination and the war will together bring about the pre-conditions for such salutary events. I say close the books on this version of the United States of America. We need show trials and a second constitutional convention. John Lowell Sent at: 2008 07 04
