Summed up Greenwald: "Americans should give up Social Security and Medicare benefits so that they can continue to transfer billions of dollars every year to Israel, a foreign country which offers far more of a safety net to its own citizens [including universal socialist healthcare! - J]. But don't you dare accuse Eric Cantor of haboring allegiance to Israel and subordinating U.S. interests to this foreign country. That would be extremely wrong of you to insinuate."
I'm sick and tired of Israel-worship in American politics.
U.S. financial support of another political democracy with a market economy for no good economic or security reason is just another instance when instead of feeling the pain of cognitive dissonance, fiscal conservatives and teabaggers ignore the hole in their ideology completely.
After all, it's way more fun to be angry and stupid.
