So Who's More Racist: Mitt Romney or the Palestinians?

Among the barrage of negative media about Mitt Romney's trip overseas this week is the assertion that Mitt Romney was racist for saying that the cultural superiority of the Israelis is the reason they have fared so much better than the Palestinians.  This isn't just the Huffington Post.  It's the mainstream media message.  Here's ABC.

Before going any further, let's just remember what the Palestinians are all about.  Let's remember how they celebrated in the streets when the World Trade Center was attacked on 9/11:

So what do you think of Mitt Romney's assertion?  Do you think that you first need to clamp down on honor killings and basic human rights before you can have a prosperous society?  Are you really racist or even politically incorrect if that sounds kind of reasonable?

At first glance, Mr. Uygur from the Huffington Post seems to have some pretty reasonable points in his article.  He basically points to the unfair playing field of Israel receiving about $3B per year in U.S. aid that Palestinians do not and he points to Arab States that are more prosperous than Israel, e.g. Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Jordan.  I suppose if Israel had vast reserves of oil to export to the rest of the world, they could probably figure out how to pump gas, too.  In terms of the foreign aid, liberal activists in this country are constantly protesting because the U.S. doesn't treat the Palestinians the same as they treat Israel.  Well, no thanks - I don't want to be the turtle to give that scorpion a ride across the river.  If we cut the Palestinians a $3B check, they'd use it to kill as many Americans and Israelis as possible.  They can't help it; that's just who they are.  And Mitt Romney's got nothing to do with it.

Obama and other well-intending Democratic liberals are susceptible to being the turtle at every turn, whether it's sending aid to radical Islamists, keeping borders open to illegal immigrants, or providing endless benefits to the non-working class.  Times are tough in America and getting worse.  We need to practice some self preservation and think with our heads more than our hearts.  Leading with our hearts is being politically correct and we need to be rational right now even if it's mean at times.
