We are contracted with a landscaper who comes and does maintenance in our yard when needed. The head of the regular crew is a Mexican with whom I have become friendly and I chat with him when he comes 3 or 4 times a year. This past Easter season I learned he is a Marranos, a descendant of Spanish Jews who were persecuted during the Spanish Inquisition hundreds of years ago. Forced to convert or be tortured and die, many of them feigned conversion but continued to secretly celebrate the Jewish holidays and traditions. Jorge and his wife and young son are nominal Catholics but do not believe the orthodox teachings about Jesus. They throw out their leavened foods during Passover and every Friday night His wife covers her head and recites the traditional prayer while lighting their Sabbath candles. Continuing traditions passed down in secret for possibly 500 years.
The reason why I am making this guess is that Jewish people comprise about 2% of the United States population. Then I think about whether more than one out of every 50 people in this country are anti-Semitic, and I kind of think that there is no doubt about that.
And you apparently believe you must mock "churchy people." Rigid Christians don't "feel it's their privilege to condemn others to Hell." They do however, believe they are obligated to warn the unchurched they will face judgment from God when they die. There's a great deal wrong, offensive - with that sort of self righteous attitude. Perhaps begininning with their failure to see their attitudes are offensive and self righteous. Your offensive memes don't help.
I wonder who the republican softball game shooter would vote for. We can do this all day. It's nonsense.
Should be banned for calling anyone that voted for Trump a Nazi antisemitic sympathizer, but we know that won't happen!!!
Carl Paladino, the New York candidate who praised Hitler, lost his primary race but received strong GOP support in his district Liberty University spokesperson invokes Stalin, Mao, and Hitler on "education": "We have to get back to that for conservative values" Roseanne Barr shocks with comments about the Holocaust, killing Jews
If 9 Nazis sit down at a table with another person who doesn't get up and leave, there are 10 Nazis at the table.
So 3 links is "regularly"? I can find 3 links that claim cows are really pork. Im not justifying any of these lowlifes. I am saying your point is hyperbolic.
A couple of things. First I dare you to find three links claiming cows are really pork. Also by law you only need two to prove a point. “No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court” (U.S. Constitution: Art. 3, Sect. 3). This legal maxim is so ancient and fundamental that the the law of Moses in the Bible attributes it to coming from God. So the man made his case.
And his third one is from Roseanne Barr, who is Jewish. And in context she was clearly saying a string of deliberately ridiculous things for humorous effect (whether one finds humor in it is not the point, just to get in front of “Well, it isn’t funny!”) and to highlight other absurdities. I wouldn’t have, given her recent history, but still it’s pretty clear that she wasn’t actually advocating for killing fellow Jewish people any more than Hudson was actually advocating for handing leadership over to Newt.
You still don’t understand the rules of the board? I am calling for the complete and total ban of people who don’t know the rules of the board until they pass a written exam. But I know that won’t happen because I read the rules….
When hateful patterns are long established it can take even longer for angry prideful people to learn the greater benefit of dismantling their destructive resentments and resolve to stop firing contemptuous verbal hate bombs at each other. Peaceful and positive changes will come only when people start communicating constructively with mutual respect. It can be done when people are sincerely committed to finding mutually agreeable and workable solutions to their differences. As of yet I don't see that sort of effort coming from you and your ugly memes. And the same applies to a number of other participants from both political extremes on this aggravating forum. All too many Too Hotters of both stripe apparently think they receive more satisfaction scapegoating and insulting their political opposites than they would gain from constructive discussion of the issues tearing us apart. Sadly, Gandhi's sage advice, "Be the change you want to see." has long been forgotten. I don't know who you think those 'two mods' are but I know for sure one is not me as I think all mention of Hell in the Bible is metaphorical, and I doubt the other is Tilly. You might want to rethink that statement. Your husband sounds like a sensible man.
Looks like @JJGator has blocked me. She must’ve run out of stupid memes. Gutless but I’ll take the win.
Your post reminded me of this terrific Pritzker clip: Jamie Fiore Higgins on LinkedIn: "The kindest person in the room is often the smartest" — a spot on… | 458 comments
What are you even talking about? Do you really want yo play the "two" game. I was of course kidding about pork. Its called using an embellishment to make a point. So i find 2 links claiming a stolen election or that the vax causes ears to fall off and that is enough for you? That would be making the case? The truth is their are millions upon millions of good people in the gop and on the right. 3 links proves nothing other than those 3 people are evil.
