1) The worst places in America for minorities to live are run lock, stock and barrel by the Democrat Party and yet the residents of those areas overwhelmingly blame Republicans for their plight.
2) We give out condoms in high schools, our entertainment on TV is DRENCHED in sex while porn and strip clubs are ever present throughout most of the country. Meanwhile, virgins and chaste women are thought of as quaint relics of a bygone era who haven't caught up with the times. Then, we're shocked that more than a third of the population has a venereal infection and 48 percent of all first births are happening outside of marriage .
3) The first reaction to people breaking the law with guns is always a demand that we find a way to take weapons away from law abiding citizens.
4) Politicians vote for bills that run thousands of pages that they haven't read and haven't debated and this is not thought of as particularly unusual.
5) In a nation where 47% of Americans pay no income tax at all, we commonly hear claims that the wealthiest Americans aren't paying their "fair share" even though 86% of all income taxes are paid by the top 25% of income earners.
6) Many well known "victims" in American politics are showered with attention, fame and sometimes even financial rewards to such an extent that being thought of as a "victim" may be the greatest moment of someone's life.
7) Despite the fact that there were rapes, murders and more than 7,000 arrests associated with the Occupy Movement, it's the Tea Party that has been smeared as a potentially dangerous and violent group.
8) Actors, movie stars and singers whose livelihood is dependent on being well liked by the public often freely insult the Republican half of the country without paying any sort of significant price for it.
9) Al Gore is accepted as the world's most prominent advocate of living a humble, non-ostentatious lifestyle to prevent global warming; yet he lives in a 30 thousand square foot home and flies around the country in a private jet.
10) When politicians talk about "cutting spending" in D.C., inevitably what they mean is cutting the rate of spending growth.
11) Currently, the Republican Party is bending over backwards to try to find a way to make 11 million illegal aliens into citizens even though the legal penalty for that crime is deportation and every scrap of evidence from the last thirty years seems to indicate those voters will break AT LEAST 2-to-1 for the Democrats.
12) Whether a statement is called "racist" or not has more to do with the political party of the person involved than the actual comment. A "racist remark" that could destroy the career of a Republican might not even make the newspaper if it is said by a Democrat.
13) There are numerous members of the Republican Party, which gets roughly 50% of the vote nationally, that want to dump social issues so we can be more like the Libertarian Party, which gets about 1% of the vote nationally.
14) Insisting that the government live within its means is considered to be a radicalism, while suggesting that it spend trillions of dollars that we don't have and will probably never be able to pay back is considered largely non-controversial in D.C.
15) Ultimately, elections in America tend to be decided by the "most indecisive, least informed, least deserving voters" who make decisions at the last minute.
16) Polls consistently show that the American public is strongly in favor of cutting government spending and yet, when you get into specifics, Americans oppose cuts to spending on just about any and every program imaginable.
17) Having few accomplishments of note and a sparse voting record on bills is considered a HUGE ADVANTAGE in running for the presidency of the United States.
18) Each election, roughly 90% of black Americans vote for the political party behind slavery, segregation and Jim Crow laws.
19) Between 80% and 90% of the supposedly "unbiased" mainstream media votes for Democrats over Republicans every election.
20) In a nation that's 70% Christian and 2% Muslim, Christianity is regularly mocked in the foulest of terms by Hollywood and the mainstream media while Islam is treated with great respect.
It’s hard to argue that if we’re talking about Democrats. Myself, I’ve decided I’ll never get between a Democrat and someone who wants to harm him/her because they’d do the same for me.
I don’t think the Jews who hold Christians in contempt care about the particular brand of Christian they choose to belittle at all. I’ve never believed that Jews even know the difference (theologically or in doctrine) between one stripe of Christian vs. another. Many of the “atheists” who start court cases for removing any evidence of religion from the public square are Jews, if in ethnicity only, and it’s beyond debate that that majority of Jews in the US aren’t what one could deem even remotely religiously observant.
But in polling, there’s a significant difference in “who supports Israel” and who supports Israel’s interests in US foreign policy. On that matter, there’s no doubt who is backing Israel: White protestant Christians in the US, especially the group that Jews like to mock the most, the Evangelicals. Catholics don’t rate as high.
Well, after hearing the various Jewish identity groups in the US attack my civil liberties and my character for owning guns, I’m through. Jews can go pound sand - literally.
I have never complained when Jews have made no distinction in belittling Christians with a broad brush. When they start getting all high and righteous and talking about banning guns as a mitzvah? OK, that’s it, I’m done and they go to the very top of my crap list.
Yea, the Six Day War was a pretty good showing for Israel.
The Yom Kippur War was decidedly less so. They pulled that one out by the skin of their teeth.
The next one? After we’ve given all these Islamic nations all this modern US military hardware, like M1 Abrams tanks to Egypt, F-15’s to Saudi Arabia, et al? I’m not taking bets either way.
And to be quite frank about the situation, it would appear that Israel has started to lose their nerve to take on those who want them dead. They seem to lack the nerve to finish off certain groups when they’re on the verge of being able to do so with only a few more days of effort. In 1967, there was no such lack of nerve. In the 70’s, there was absolutely no lack of nerve.
In the last 10 years? I’m not so sure.
They mostly pulled through thanks to Richard Nixon. If the US government hadn't interceded with military and financial assistance, the Arabs would have overwhelmed Israel with sheer numbers and Soviet arms.
So you're right that without US support, Israel probably wouldn't be around today. You'd think they'd show a little more gratitude for it.
The reason the libertarian party gets <1% of the vote isn't because of their neutrality on social issues, there are plenty of fiscal and defense conservatives who just don't get worked up about gays, abortion, and other issues. The Libertarian's weak showing is mostly due to the fact that we have a winner take all system where a third party vote is rigged to be effectively no vote at all, while the political machines of both parties make sure that any third party (or dissidents within their own party who don't toe the line) get ignored or marginalized.
