If anyone is looking for a signature line quote....
...you might be interested in this one.

"If you want government to intervene domestically, you're a liberal. If you want government to intervene overseas, you're a conservative. If you want government to intervene everywhere, you're a moderate. If you don't want government to intervene anywhere, you're an extremist." - Joseph Sobran

1. Clever quote, but ...
Edited on Sun Dec-21-03 08:43 AM by BareKnuckledLiberal
Joe Sobran is one of those more-insightful-than-thou traditionalist conservatives who, among other things, doesn't like Jews a whole lot.

I personally don't think he quite makes it as an anti-semite, but he's made a career out of "criticizing" Israel and Jewish folks to the extent that his criticism has also caused his career to sink.

Believe me, I have plenty of criticism myself for the hare-brained policies the Israeli government is now following. Sobran likes to dance along the edge but forgets that the edge can inflict some nasty cuts.
