Oh. Well, whatever. East coast metro areas are all the same.

Nope - DC is 50% black whereas her home district of Queens is only 20% black. And Queens has a large contingent of Caribbean blacks, many of whom are upwardly-mobile. DC is populated with blacks whose ancestors weren't motivated or enterprising enough to move north for union jobs or just to get away from Jim Crow.

Luckily she wasn’t carrying a weapon for self protection ... she would have been charged with a crime ... “being an uncooperative victim which is a felony”!

She is my Congresscritter. Obviously, I did NOT vote for her. Not only is she a libtard, but she is a lawyer representing the "rights of immigrants". She is also an advocate for the rights of illegals. Wouldn't that be a hoot if it were an illegal who mugged her? Too bad they didn't hit her harder. Might have knocked some sense into her.

She is just another facet of the Cuomo-Schumer-Gillibrand-DiBlasio libtard cage my fellow NYers have brought down on us by just being STOOPID and not paying attention to what's going on.

Why would you want the enemy of everything conservative (ie a NY Democrat) to recover at all?

Shaking head at the sanctimonious silliness exhibited by some freepers

For some reason, a lot of people who identify as conservatives follow this long-ago guy called Jesus, who's reputed to have said something like this:

Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?

Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

All that may sound nice at first blush. It should be obvious to everyone here, though, that this sort of sentiment is the perfect antithesis of what belongs on a truly moral and upright forum. That's why I worship Cthulhu instead--no mercy there!

Ia! Ia! Cthulhu fhtagn!

etc.

Sanctimonious twaddle. Every Democratic Kongressthief is a far more dangerous enemy than any number of unwashed muslim terrorists. EVERY Democrat in Kongress and especially those from NY want to

  1. Disarm you
  2. Plunder your hard earned cash- provided you actually work for a living. If you breed for a living they want to buy your vote with the aforementioned plunder
  3. Enslave you with hundreds of thousands of pages of laws - can you spell 0bamacare?
  4. Kill you with their JBTs if you resist
You whitened sephulchers can bleat about love thy enemy, but those of us whoe realize what's at stake would like to see them destroyed.

The Democrat's goal only has three possible final outcomes

  1. We are disarmed and enslaved with no rights and only trivial freedom of choice
  2. We are killed "resisting arrest" if we finally decide to draw the line
  3. We kill enough of them and their goons to push back for a few years the Godless communism that they want to cram down our throats.

But of course you're right. We should always pray for the success of our enemies I know my friends who every time they got into a firefight fervently prayed that their bullets wouldnt hurt the enemy.

To: Lonely Bull; napscoordinator
But really:

We may suppose that napscoordinator is praying not only for the recovery of the body but the recovery of the mind and the recovery of the soul. From a certain eternal perspective, praying for the recovery of the body but not that of the soul reflects a deficient understanding. Then again, that error wouldn't be the worst possible error; aspiring for the destruction of all of it reflects an understanding that's even more lacking.

Who is your enemy? Maybe my view of unredeemed human nature is not very rosy, but all of us have played the enemy to God at one time or another.

St. Augustine said it better than I can right now:

...and let God sparing evil men profit you, so that thou show mercy: because perchance thou too, if you are a good man, out of an evil man hast been made a good man: and if God spared not evil men, not even you would be found to return thanks. May He therefore spare others, that has spared you also. For it were not right, when you had passed through, to close up the way of godliness.

"For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord God: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye." Let us pray in this sense for Grace (yes, I just noticed the name) Meng.

I've seen the idea around here that we'll see a change in immigration policy when a prominent Democrat (or a close family member of one) is somehow killed by an illegal immigrant, though my gut sense is that little would change.

There have been other cracks within the great coalition of "progressives'" darlings. Two examples:

Beaten for Being Gay in a Black Neighborhood
No, we're not talking about some long-ago Era of Hate that enlightened Democrats have eradicated; the article is from just two months ago.

Danish-Iranian artist convicted of racism (Muslim men use Islam to justify violence against women)
(coincidentally from the same day--I just happened to do a different search)

Firoozeh Bazrafkan was found guilty of racism after writing in her blog that Muslim men use Islam to justify violence against women.
