This song isn’t from the seventies but 1965. I hear it often on oldies radio, but I am surprised it hasn’t been banned: Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders — “The Game of Love.”. It even says the game was started by Adam and Eve. Sounds like something Jerry Falwell would have written.
Really? Can he site an instance when that happened? Almost all of the violence I have seen the past several years have come from his side. How many buildings have Trump supporters burned? How many monuments have they vandalized? How much property have Trump supporters looted? How many Trump supporters have a constant death wish for anyone who doesn’t agree with them? How many have proposed reeducation camps for the other side?
I was listening to Dennis Prager this morning and he was talking about the anti-Israel group that has occupied a California university campus for 45 days, and severely vandalized a building last night. Prager wondered what it would be like if a conservative, pro-American group had occupied a campus. He posed it as a rhetorical question. I’m guessing it would be peaceful — from our side. I am not confident that the inevitable counter-protesters would reciprocate.
Oh — and speaking of pro-Hamas. Obeidallah’s father was born in Palestine.
They conveniently overlook how various tribes “stole” land from each other. Where many tribes were in the nineteenth century is not where they started out. And they waged war and inflicted depredations and slavery on each other. Could the conflicts between whites and Indians have turned out differently? Maybe. But it’s a very complex history and and there is plenty of dirt to go around, just as in history in general.
One thing I have never liked about the debates is the focus on performance. If want really great performances, maybe we should get should get great actors to run. The country is going to hell under Biden, and his impairment is a small part of why this is so, but all he has to do in a debate is remember where he is and not wander off the stage and he wins? Crazy.
And this is one of the 535 individuals who make big decisions for the rest of us. If we have ever had a worse government, I would like to know when it was.
