Democrats in the Virginia House of Delegates walked out, twice, rather than vote on House Bill HJ 659, a bill in support of Israel.[read_more] The bill passed by a vote of 70 to 2. Speaker Howell sarcastically dubbed the democrats’ actions ‘a profile in courage’ and he is right. Democrats are making their dislike of Israel more and more obvious. Disgusting.
This clip is funny and worth a watch.

SHALLOW, LITERAL-MINDED PEOPLE MAKE SHALLOW, LITERAL-MINDED CHRISTIANS, I.E. CHRISTIAN ZIONISTS.
Who are easily led. Because they’re too lazy to read their Bibles everyday, they believe anything that sounds good. Like the restoration of israel in 1948. All the jew-owned media and the jew-owned “christian” ministries continually beat us over the head with this fallacy. In the Bible, the LORD’s not referring to a physical restoration of Israel, but a spiritual restoration. We Christians are the embodiment of that restoration.
“One of the clearest and most monumental Old Testament prophecies regarding the restoration of the tabernacle may be found in Amos 9:11-12; and in Acts 15:14-17, JAMES (New Testament) clearly teaches that THIS PASSAGE IS BEING FULFILLED IN THE SPREADING OF THE GOSPEL TO THE GENTILES so in sum yes, the bible prophesies of a restored Jewish nation and temple, but then goes on to teach that this prophecy was fulfilled in JESUS’ BECOMING THE TRUE AND FINAL TEMPLE OF GOD, and subsequently in his making his people a holy temple in the Lord, where God’s presence might dwell among them, even today.”

This story still has not gained enough attraction to the media.
Keep on spreading it around.
[…] and she should know it. It involves the Commonwealth of Virginia in foreign policy. Here is the Bull Elephant’s take on […]
Silence is not golden. This is shameful and gutless. If you don’t believe, speak on it. Don’t walk out so that in the future it can’t be held against you.
The problem is not just those Democrats who walked out , but the so-called “mainstream” Jewish communal organizations that won’t hold them to account, or even name them. The Jewish Community Relations Council had a “Jewish Advocacy Day” in Richmond, and for the most part they simply support liberal causes — which causes a degree of dissension within the Jewish community. They dare not criticize Obama’s handling of middle east issues, nor would they cross the liberal Democrats who walked out on the vote, but they find the time to push for various liberal causes where the stake of the Jewish community is no different than our non-Jewish friends and neighbors. That is why, even though I am active in my synagogue in Fairfax County, when I get a pledge card in the mail from the local Jewish Federation, it goes right in the trash.
Jeanine, how many Republicans did not vote on the resolution? Your total above is 72, is it not?
There are 100 members of the Virginia house. How many of the 28 who did not vote are Republican’s?
Walk out, or not vote, is there a difference? Who walked out? Proof please?
The link to the vote is in the post. You can see exactly who voted for the bill and who did not. I think we 66 Republicans in the House of Delegates.
What a joke…
I heard about this on Mark Levin.
The Dems would rather walk out and not support Israel
as the Repubs played a wild card, and cleared the table.
It was a call to stand by Israel, and the Dems walk out ???!!!
This is the epitome of Dems being “trendy” with European Antisemitism,
more evidence of the Obama Administration despising Israel
and leaving our best Ally in the mid-east left out to rot…
Nice foreign policy work by Hitlary & Skull & Bones John Kerry,
You suck at democracy.
We know they are provoking WW3 everywhere.
Here is USA foreign policy in 2 pictures:
Levin huh? A jew? Can’t get more unbiased than that. Why are you betraying America to side with the founders of communism? And I expect an answer.

Alrighty,
yeah, I heard the story on the radio, who cares who delivers the message.
Your getting into Zionist depths,
I am only pointing out the repubs played this bluff card
to make the dems look bad in not supporting the Democracy of Israel.
Decent American Patriots don’t allow jews/communists to lie to us. And everything they say is a lie. Why don’t you know this? Truthmonger.info
When did I say I did not know they LIE?
We “allow” them to lie,
I guess your right,:
“You can keep your doctor you can keep your plan,”
“It was because of an awful internet video that we had nothing to do with”
“There is not a smidgeon of corruption in the IRS”
“There is no There, there”

The resolution has more to do with our national community standing than with political grandstanding. Delegate Watts introduced the resolution last year to honor the mosque in Falls Church which has long been a source of radicalization of Muslim young males and was an un-indicted co-conspirator in the Holy land foundation hearings for funneling money to terrorist organizations. I don’t know what happened to the Democrat party since the 1970s and ’80 when the Democrat party stood firmly with Israel but now seems to stand with this President who cannot name jihadist terrorists or identify Egyptian Christians or French Jews in the ongoing Islamic State atrocities.. .
I suspect this actually goes back to Virginia politicians looking for a PAC, or campaign contribution, for trying to get involved in things like changing the name of the Sea of Japan.
This is the worst non-budget session I can remember. Nothing but half-assed politicians grandstanding for a check. At middle-class expense.
The fastest and best way to decrease the size of government in Virginia is for the Legislature to double it’s pay!
That’s right, double their pay. As I have recommended for years, double their pay BY only having a session ONCE every 2 years, instead of every year.
Cut government by cutting out the odd year session. These crooks constantly complain about “it’s not worth it anymore” don’t they???? Then amend the Virginia Constitution for meeting once ever 2 years.
Remember, the “power company”, or even the governor, can always call them back for emergency’s.
THERE IS NOTHING BUT SCREW THE MIDDLE-CLASS OUT OF MORE MONEY GOING ON DOWNTOWN.
Hillary in 2016′.
I suppose you know that Hillary was fired from the Watergate Commission as a young lawyer for lying and unethical behavior? Her earlier argument with Lewinsky’s thesis was only the old Communist argument over whether to work against capitalism openly or to worm into the power structure and tear it down from within.
Are you one of those left wing fantacists who believe that a leopard can change its spots if it really, really, really wants to and tries really, really, really hard?
Really?

No
proof “The fool will remain foolish!”
It has been a long time since the Democratic party had somebody like Henry Jackson. For all of his failings, Kennedy was a bona fide war veteran, and held fast in Berlin. Could you imagine Obama giving a speech like “I am a Berliner”? He would have trouble naming our country’s opposition, and believe that if we simply gave the Communists jobs, then all would be OK.
Scoop Jackson when the Democratic Party had a vision beyond transgender restrooms, global appeasement and open US borders for all.
Amen to that. Besides, there was a time when whoever became president should have done something first, like be a governor, in charge of a squad, run a corner lemonade stand — at least something. Even thought I was not enamored with Clinton, at least his experience as Governor of Arkansas helped him to sit down with Newt Gingrich and negotiate things. I hope to God that we never again have a president who comes to the office with a very thin track record, but who thinks that he’s the smartest guy in the room and knows more than anyone else.
When do they have a vote on if they will support the middle-class? This is BS journalism, Jeanine. In fact, it does not even qualify as that.
So let’s see, the GA supports “the power company”, and Israel. The Republican’s this year in the GA have legislated higher electricity bills, voted to to raise registration fee’s, tried to raise SI fee’s, tried to rewrite the US Constitution, tried to change voting laws. Tried to increase the size of government. Isn’t this all true Jeanine? HB 2313 anyone?
We will help Israel just as we always have. We do not need to change the focus with worthless grandstanding resolutions to take the “heat” off the Republican’s many attempts to wipe out the middle-class lifestyle.
Hillary in 16′.
Screw Hitlary:
The president’s “endorsement” of Hillary was Obama at his passive-aggressive best.
After saying Hillary would be “good president” he talked about “mileage”
and the public’s interest in a candidate “with a clean car smell”
in response to a question about a woman who will be 69 when she runs for president:
“Clean car smell” ???
Hitlary is more like:
Skeletons in the Closet smell.
Have you let right wing hate radio program you? Do you think that you have enough intelligence to conduct your life without Mark Levin telling you how?
You condemn the Dems, just as hate radio wants you too??
But, when do you/they get around to showing us the Republican plan for America?
If this Virginia Legislative session is any indication of the Republcan’s plan for America, we should be very concerned.
Wait a minute,
never mind your spat about radio: Left or Right
Thats not the problem.
The Republicans in this story put forth a bill to support Israel,
that’s been USA foreign policy for along time, that is a good plan
for America and the democracy of Israel.
Why would you disagree with that ?
The Dems walk out on it ? So they don’t support Israel ??
THATS insane; Our best ally in the mid-east and show NO support ?
If the dems continue down the Socialist path and spit on Israel,
Thats something to be concerned about.
And Hillary’s record and John Kerrys record of foreign policy failures.
You can “screw” whomever you like. We all have freedom to choose between good and evil.
However, if I may suggest, rather than quote hate radio and sell your soul to them???
Rather, read The Word of God, seek out Jesus Christ, follow Him, quote Him.
The quotes are from OBAMA himself .
He is GOD to the democrats.
The Illuminati worship Lucifer,
so maybe thats what you have not learned.
Right or Left IT DOES NOT MATTER,
these psychopaths want to rule the world
as a one world government, one world religion,
Look up “United Nations Agenda 21”
and read the whole thing,
then talk to me later.
Love you , bye.
If you want smaller government why would you want Hillary?
Look at the growth of government under the Bush 43′ and McDonnell admins??? Look at the bills in Virginia this year that I have mentioned, all Republican introduced. Look at the growth of Virginia budgets under Republican rule. Look at the tax and fee increases under Republcan rule. It is all there for those who want to see it.
Put Hillary in, the Republican’s will stalemate everything. Stop just about everything.
Let the Republican’s have control of all 3 branches of government, in my opinion, they will bankrupt us. Then they will blame it all on Obama.
Now it’s your turn???
If you want smaller government, why would you want the Republican’s to control all 3 branches of federal or state government?
When has it ever led to smaller government, when either party has total control?
Well good for the Dems. The GA has more important things to do than pass meaningless declarations of support for Israel. That is the business of our national representatives. What’s next? Is the GA going to become as wacky as the Berkeley or Charlottesville City Councils? Stick to state business.
Democrats are leveraging the “Jew vote” with this shenanigan. Right now the thinking jewish community has every reason to question loyalties to the democrat party that uses them worse than it uses black Virginians. Yes, I said this.
