Re: Almost a caricature
Well, "the new face of the Democratic Party" can be a butcher, a baker, and a candlestick maker for all I care, just so long as they advocate for good policies and against bad ones.

Re: Almost a caricature
That says a lot more about you than it does about the Democratic Party.

Re: Almost a caricature
"The Squad" the new face of the Democratic Party is a Massachusetts socialist, a descendant of the Conquistadores and two Muslims!
I have the impression this disturbs you, yes?
Why?
Who would you rather see as the new face of the Democratic Party?

Re: Almost a caricature
Not sure what kind of inane point you are trying to make, but it is stupid and shows what kind of person you are.

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts
"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.
If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Re: Almost a caricature
A joke, perhaps, but now, 66 years after the death of Stalin, 183 years after the massacre at the Alamo and 18 years after the 9/11 terrorist attacks we're faced with "The Squad" the new face of the Democratic Party is a Massachusetts socialist, a descendant of the Conquistadores and two Muslims!
Well, the usual suspects have jumped all over this post so I'll stick my neck out to defend it though I suppose you won't like my defense.
I don't know if they don't get it but I do: the spirits of our former enemies have now become our house representatives. We denounced Stalin and Communism in general, we defeated the Conquistadores, and Islam attacked us so they should be our enemy too. How very true. Great irony that right after 09/11 Islam increased in popularity rather than the reverse. And this trend has been growing ever since.
So here's the part you won't like, along with everybody else here: this is God's judgment on America. I knew 9/11 was judgment and was dismayed to hear many pastors denying that obvious fact. A few did recognize it and I was grateful for that. I was again dismayed -- my stomach fell to my feet -- when George Bush included a Muslim Imam in the prayer for the nation in the National Cathedral right after. I suppose that won't bother you though since religion is just a silly myth, but to me it was a way to guarantee that God will not hear the prayer and will not bless the nation, so judgment could only continue. The true God is not the God of Islam and it is idolatry to include him in our prayers.
Oh well. The reason we have these darling lady enemies in our midst is the continuation of God's judgment on the nation. I keep thinking of a book I want to write about all this about how the only way to save the nation is for the church to clean up its act and pray its heart out. But being a nobody any book I'd write wouldn't get an ear so what's the point. Nevertheless I keep having the thought. SOMEBODY needs to scream this message into the ears of the mostly oblivious Church, and not only oblivious but in many cases actually complicit in bringing down the nation.
I know some who say there's no hope, the nation is going down, it's all over, and they may be right. I heard a sermon by John MacArthur recently that showed how the signs given in scripture make it clear God has abandoned the nation. Abanonment is pretty much the end of it from which a nation can't expect to recover. Nevertheless I still wish somebody would write my book, God might relent. It's worth a shot.
You no doubt think all this is pure hokum, and certainly the majority here think that.
Oh well.

Re: Almost a caricature
The rule of law in this nation allows any citizen to run for public office, and if elected, to hold that office exercising all the privileges, duties and responsibilities of that office.
I assume you do not agree with this aspect of the rule of law in our society when the elected holders of office are socialist, descendant from Conquistadors or Muslim.
But you do if they are Nazis.
Why?

Re: Almost a caricature
Oh look the usual bigotry. Well, it’s certainly on topic.
Even the Left of the Democratic Party are hardly Communists. They are not even hard Left by European standards.
Also, I hardly think that a Muslim so liberal that she sometimes calls Allah She is the sort of fundamentalist that attacked the U.S. In fact those Muslims aren’t likely to approve of female politicians at all.

Re: Almost a caricature
LOL. Your ignorance is only eclipsed by your hate.
we defeated the Conquistadores, and Islam attacked us
Neither point is true. The United States did not even exist in the time of the Conquistadors. Islam did not attack the United States any more than Christianity attacked the US at the start of the Civil War. Have you ever claimed the US was attacked by Shintoism?
The reason we have these darling lady enemies in our midst
They are more patriotic and working harder for the ideals of this country and our Constitution than you ever will or ever have. People like you are the biggest threat to our country.
I keep thinking of a book I want to write
Sure.

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts
"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

What's funny about these references to Stalin is that it's not the so-called "socialists" among the Democrats that support packing people in standing room only cages. That one's Republicans.

Re: Almost a caricature
I'm well aware that these enemies were legitimately elected and there's nothing I can do about that. It's just how God's judgment is working these days, to bring down the nation from within. The political correctness that calls those on the other side bigots and racists and Nazis and so on is part of the judgment, buttressing and protecting the means of our defeat. This is why prayer is the only solution, if there is a solution at all, but many of the churches are also corrupt these days so there's no point in asking them to pray: they have to clean up their act first. I'm asking for a lot.
Although you may be one of those who think the nation is going in a positive direction, I suspect if it does all fall out according to your wishes you may find it isn't fun at all.

And off we go with the false storyline against the opposition as usual. One thing about God's judgment, it packs a punch.
Cheers.

The only falsehoods I see are the ones you are peddling. If you are going to accuse people of promoting a "false storyline", how about you explain what you think is false and support your argument with actual data and facts?

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts
"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.
If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

What's also funny is that my European ancestors came and settled in the United States during the time it was being ethnically cleansed of its indigenous population.
So that kind of makes me a descendant of "Conquistadores" as well. No wonder I identify with "the Squad"!

And as far as Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar being Muslims goes, what particularly "Muslimy" things are they doing in Congress that are objectional? Most of the policies they advocate for are things I support on secular grounds.

No, the nation is most definitely not going in a positive direction, but rather quite the opposite. That is why Trump and the corrupt GOP must be stopped and replaced. And Trump and his entire corrupt administration brought to justice.
