“I get most of my political news from X nowadays”
I spend some time on X also. It’s entertaining, but it can be hard to separate what is real and what is not. Just the same, some good FR readers/contributors may have diverted their attention to X.
Some of my posts (or comments) get the attention that I think they deserve, some not. That’s the way it goes.
I have made my share of knee-jerk responses, so I cannot blame others for their knee-jerk responses. Sometimes I’m fortunate that a poster provides a really knowledgeable response.
I like many articles from American Thinker, and I think it’s a good sign when someone posts from AT. They just put up a pay wall and I think FR will be degraded as a result.
It would be nice to edit one’s comments. In principle it should not be necessary but, try as I might, I often spot a mistake after posting.
I’ve noticed a few mild anti-Jewish comments. I wish these posters would expand so that I could understand their thinking.
I tune out the few that are not mild. “The Jews are committing genocide” is stupid regardless of the identity of the speaker. Good luck avoiding that kind of comment.
Some Christian religious leaders and denominations have been criticized too. So what? I think the last Pope was a disaster. The leadership of many mainline Protestant denominations are about as bad. The problem is leftism in each case. Jewish conservatives should see a problem with Jewish leftism, much as Catholic/Protestant conservatives should see a problem with leftism among Catholics/Protestants.
Here are a few key phrases that should give a glimmer of what's going on. They always tend to gravitate towards the top of the power structure, clever with words and all forms tempting bribery(just ask Judas). One of satan's names, and he has many, in the bible is "the destroyer". Nothing has changed since the crucifixion, yet.
John 8:44
"Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."
Rev. 3:9
Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee."
