The Catholic high Schoolers were a bit rowdy, but did nothing any 16 uear olds wouldn't do....
Ah, yes, the "boys will be boys" defense. They all do it, so it's okay.

One of my close friends happens to be a Catholic cub scout leader and has sons close to the age of those students and he sides against the activists.
Irrelevant.

The Israeli group clearly started in with the whole white privilege thing.
Irrelevant.

Granted the teen boys behaved as teens can do but were not the instigators.
What difference does it make who the instigators were? Why aren't the kids responsible for their own actions?

Re: Jobs Americans won't do
Faith writes:
I still think if you pay Americans enough they will do that work.
I kind of agree with that.
Our politicians are always going on about creating "good" jobs. Why don't they care about making the "bad" jobs better? If the working conditions were better and the pay was better, yes your grocery bill would be higher but you'd save a lot of money on walls too.

And our geese will blot out the sun.

Re: Senate Resolution to Condemn Trump on Foreign Policy
Faith writes:
Such facts are secondary in a reasonable person's mind to the fact that the Left is pushing an evil totalitarian ideology and the Right is trying to save the soul of America.
We already knew that facts were unimportant to you.

Re: Your "facts" about Trump's "racism" are the usual innuendo
Faith writes:
Wow what a huge error I made.
The problem is that you are soooooo very sure that you're right - and you're so often wrong. Attempting to trivialize your errors only underlines the fact that you don't care about truth.

Re: More attacks on the nation
Faith writes:
The Left wants to keep Trump from moving on to what he was elected to do, they want to bring it all to a screeching halt.
As I've said before, when a politician makes stupid promises, it's better to break them than to keep them. And it's the duty of every responsible citizen to do everything in their legal power to prevent stupid promises from being kept.

Thank you for your opinion. With which Trump's supporters passionately disagree.
So they disagree with the democratic process. No surprises there.

You have rather a twisted version of a right wing tenet: the less government the better.
I agree with that tenet.
Faith writes:
There is nothing wrong with Trump's promises....
He's an idiot. His own advisors know it.
Faith writes:
... they would save the nation if he can get them enacted.
What does the nation need to be "saved" from?
Faith writes:
It's Congress's obstructionist interferences...
Congress is not a rubber stamp. It's job is to represent the interests of the people, not the interests of Trump.
Faith writes:
... no concern whatever for democratic processes...
What has Congress done outside the democratic process?

Leftist political machinations with the objective of bringing down Trump...
I asked about saving the nation, not saving Trump. What has Congress done, specifically, to endanger the nation? What has Congress done, specifically, that is not in their job description? A strong opposition is an important part of any democracy. It's job is to protect the nation, not kowtow to every whim of some whiny bitch of a President.

The Left, period.
"The Left, period," is not a thinking response. You're just foaming at the mouth.

Re: More attacks on the nation

The Left as a whole really is what's wrong with the nation and what's going to bring it down and destroy it forever if the Right doesn't rally.
That's still not an answer. What specifically is the problem? How specifically are they going to "bring down" the nation and "destroy it forever"?
You don't seem to have anything to back up your raving. You seem to be just scapegoating. You might as well be blaming the Jews.

The answers have already been given. See Message 1094, Message 1097, Message 1098,Message 1101 and probably others.
Message 1094 is just a lot of vague raving.
Message 1097 is more vague raving.
Message 1098 isn't even related to the question.
Message 1101 is more vague raving.
It's pretty clear that you have no basis for your accusations. Congress is doing its job and you don't like it.

Because personally, I feel that our conversations are entertaining. If such a conversation was uninterrupted, it would provide infotainment to our brethren and sistren.
I don't see why we can't be entertaining without keeping the other kids out of the playpen. And unlike the creationists, I don't mind being piled on. (It might even give me a hint that I'm wrong.)
The problem with our discussions is that they almost always come down to the same old same old. We're Abbott and Costello doing Who's on First for the umpteenth time.
