Its a nationalist party and one interested in security issues but on other issues they tend to be either centrist or to the left, at least by American standards. Likud supports universal, government-backed healthcare, heavy government investment in infrastructure and other areas of the economy, and is mainly liberal on most social issues.Lee Ratnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08139895689217213860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4008006782907969381.post-28344113531288358182011-01-21T22:24:18.351+02:002011-01-21T22:24:18.351+02:00if Time were just Time I might agree, but Time is ...if Time were just Time I might agree, but Time is part of a mob circling trying to find adherers waiting to get strong enough so it can dare to pounce (again).<br /><br />If that is correct than Time is worth every attention as a major organ which is at least testing the water of is it time to let "it" off the leash again.Silkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16383345395827271854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4008006782907969381.post-39596706464001684072011-01-21T22:10:15.937+02:002011-01-21T22:10:15.937+02:00While the article is well written, I think its inc...While the article is well written, I think its incredibly unprofessional for a high ranking government official to reprimand Time magazine.
