I ask you a serious direct question and you weave and bob
like a intellectually dishonest school yard bully.Have a wonderful life on the wide way.
I will not waste my time with dishonest people.
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.

Party politicians in stealing from the American people and then

It seems suspicious. When do choose to step in.
This isn’t personal, please don’t make it so by tattling on me for perceived offenses. You have the ability to hit the abuse button on any posting at any time. You know how to do it, I’ve seen you abuse it many times in the past. Had I crossed any lines I am certain that the Religion Moderator would have taken the fair and appropriate actions.
Discuss the issues - not the posters.
Thank you.shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiachI will in the future avoid any poster who follows Alinsky's Rules for Radicals
So have its liberal Jewish critics.
This is further evidenced by their involvement with the Democrat Party politicians in stealing from the American people and then claiming to do "gods" work in charity based on stolen money from the unwilling.
Wow. Good thing there are no Jewish Democrats! [/sarcasm]
Agreed.
This is a ridiculous and frankly, offensive comparison.
I would hope that Roman Catholics would call you out on this.
