5, until the nutty bit at the end.
6
and 7, but like most of you, by the wording of it and the people it's coming from, it probably aint really a good thing

The unique misfortune of the Palestinian refugees is that they are a weapon in what seems to be a permanent war...today, in the Middle East, you get a repeated sinking sensation about the Palestinian refugees: they are only a beginning, not an end. Their function is to hang around and be constantly useful as a goad. The ultimate aim is not such humane small potatoes as repatriating refugees.

There's nothing in this sack of utter bullsh*t that I could even come close to supporting, except #7 - and even then, it is so obvious and pointless that it probably has some hidden meaning which I'm pretty sure I wouldn't suppport either.

by the way to clarify, since nobody went down the road I was hoping.  I "oppose pornography" in the sense that I believe it is a warping thing, for the user especially, a negative thing that opposed the notion of human connection within sex, which is what makes sex so valuable and special.  counter to my purported 'nihilistic' tendency.  this of course does not mean I think it should be banned as a bunch of pro-Iraq War "Christians" probably would.

As brought up in the other thread proving how opebo is not socially conservative.

As stated I partially agree with a few but none do I fully agree with so I vote for NOTA. Well I guess I do agree with #7 but since this is already absolutely guaranteed by the First Amendment it's pretty obvious what they mean is something different than what it simply means.

1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7. Although the New Israel part is weird... people seriously believe we've been specifically chosen as a promised land or something?

Of course people do.  This idea has been hugely influential in the formation of America's self-identity. It goes way back to the Puritans, up through Manifest Destiny, Joseph Smith, to Teddy Roosevelt, and today in Christian Reconstructionism.
