And...Today I saw the following on another Facebook <br />And I would love to answer him. However, I think a simple reply to a simple person should suffice...<br />"Now someone give me a real good honest answer why she belongs in jail? Is it Because you just don't like her? How about Nixon who committed a felony and was pardoned by a Republican, or Reagn who sold weapons illegally and blamed it all on Oliver North, or Bush who went to war for no damn good reason and because of his actions thousands have died. So who belongs in jail? Because she deleted emails, or because some terrorist attacked our compound? What she did it all by herself? Grow up"<br />My answer short and Not so sweet would be..<br />Hey! YOU Grow up, I have news for you!<br />We are not discussing Nixon, or Reagan or sny one, or snyting else that happened 25 years ago.<br />How about discussing the present, how about discussing someone who what's to be your and my Leader? Is this what and who you want to be your President? I surely don't . But keep up your belief in deamenizing the past. Maybe it will change things. And maybe a Princess will ride in on a White Horse and do something good.

I certainly made no such case. <br /><br />Since long before the founding of this nation, Jews have been dear friends of the American ideal. Like any other group, they have their ups and downs. But as a people, they're an old and close member of the American family. I do not share your view of Jews at all, and I've known many.<br /><br />The silly nonsense from the modern American right has nothing in common with the founding principles of this nation. Christianity is not the basis of our laws, you idiot. C'mon man, I'm not your gullible grandchild sitting on your knee. Jesus Christ, man, you know better than that. American law, the Constitution, all come from British common law and theory. America didn't invent anything all that new, but it certainly wasn't that old either! And Jews have been scattered among Western people since the Romans lost their temper with them 2000 years ago. Most of that time we all got along pretty well.<br /><br />Get real man.<br /><br />JMJJersey McJoneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15426560061830038806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-57990441279289511382015-10-30T20:15:41.099-04:002015-10-30T20:15:41.099-04:00Surely it must be covertly leftist, if it claims o...Surely it must be covertly leftist, if it claims otherwise ;)<br />Exit polls agree with your estimate, suggesting 69% of jews voted dem in 2012 (another Pew survey, sorry), but this also agrees with the other article, which shows the dem lean falling since the election.<br />Goldman Sachs is a prominent investment bank, but it has competitors.

I'm sorry if I linked an irrelevant article, but it does no harm to the point I'm trying to make, which was adequately covered in the rest of the material.<br /><br />My friend JERSEY, of all people, articulated it very well when he said, <b><i>"It's not so much about anti-Semitism any more, rather political and social positions that run contrary to Jewish thought.

In general "Jewish Thought" has been antagonistic and bitterly opposed to the founding principles of this nation, to Christianity as the basis our system of Law and Justice, and to most of our traditional customs and mores. The problem I have with Jews stems from EXPERIENCE. <b>They do not want to assimilate and become an integral part of our society; they want instead to DOMINATE it.

I've yet to meet one who isn't "proudly liberal" by his or her own admission, and very much "in your face" about it. <br /><br />Third, even if we accept Pew's figures on other demographic groups, not one of those other factions has anywhere near the power that Jews have amassed unto themselves in our society. In this country Jews either control or dominate the dissemination of News and Information, the Publishing Industry, the Educational Establishment, the Legal Profession, and the Entertainment Industry, and Banking. Also, please don't forget that THE dominant corporate entity that virtually governs the corrupt, greedy, cabal of Crony Capitalists we usually refer to as "Wall Street" is named GOLDMAN SACHS. Also the Federal Reserve was formed largely by Jews, and Jews have dominated its leadership ever since I can remember.<br /><br /><b>Please note too that of only NINE members of the Supreme Court THREE are Jews, yet Jews make up less than 5% of the population.</b><br /><br />Doesn't it seem more-than-a-bit strange to you that a tiny minority of less than ten million people could gain such a high degree of ascendancy over a nation comprised of approximately 350,000,000.00 souls?<br /><br />It seems even more strange that we citizens are not supposed ever to NOTICE this much less COMMENT on it. <br /><br /><b>I'm sorry, but I don't believe that ANY identifiable entity should be held EXEMPT from and IMMUNE to criticism, investigation, or questioning of their possible motives.</b>.<br /><br />And THAT is why I continue to broach this admittedly unpleasant, inflammatory subject periodically. <br /><br />I do not believe in TABOOS, except for those elements that preach overthrow of the established order by violent aggression, theft, torture, mayhem, and murder.FreeThinkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682678301019952436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-36321473052743704122015-10-30T16:23:02.832-04:002015-10-30T16:23:02.832-04:00Hillary Clinton is the one women who drives the Ri...Hillary Clinton is the one women who drives the Righties insane.

Don't Shoot! It was just a clock! ...Hands up! Don't Shoot! It was just a clock! The knife was Military Style! Devious uses of the Framing Effect litter the ground and every thing we read, see and hear are attempts to manipulate opinion, but even the huge, gilded Rococo monstrosity of this frame seems to escape our notice. Even our experienced knees jerk when tapped by the professionally wielded little hammer.<br /> First, the boy presented his project to a science teacher, who learned in advice that the device was NOT A BOMB. Vetting in advance by the science teacher did not [pardon the pun] defuse the situation. Instead the kid was frog marched -- in handcuffs -- to the police station. That is why the story strikes us an another over-reaction on the part of school authorities, one of many in recent months.<br /><br />Within the past week, there was another story making headlines -- a kid beaten, arrested and taken away in handcuffs by law enforcement for the unpardonable crime of JAYWALKING! There have been too many incident like this recent months.<br /><br />We read a lot about cops who don't treat black people properly, therefore any incident must be seen as racism? Affirming the consequent. Can one legitimately extrapolate from other and apparently similar incidents? If so it's a weak argument although it's behind most of the hysterical arguments dangled before us from Tawana Brawley to Michael Brown. Stated another way, similar results do not argue for similar causes. It could well be that taking away the box and having it examined by someone expert in the field was appropriate even if the authorities overreacted. Those terrified about school safety may well think not enough was done. If it had proved to be dangerous, the cops would have been fired.<br />Within the past week, there was another story making headlines -- a kid beaten, arrested and taken away in handcuffs by law enforcement for the unpardonable crime of JAYWALKING! There have been too many incident like this recent months.<br />It was framed as a case of racism and now it's being framed as something else. Nothing appears in the news any more unless it can be framed or packaged as something inflammatory and scandalous and this year the Leitmotif is racist attacks on Children.<br />Yes, Black Lives Do Matter, and more than all others do!<br /><br />Certainly it's all Racism and I am not amused here, I am angry about this and say that, but ignore the other thing because it's not on the menu this week.<br /><br />Anyway, the kid is now famous and gets scholarships from guilty Liberals anxious to prove something, so I hardly feel sorry for him.<br />Are we, as liberals combing the news for examples and when the supply is low, are we so relieved to find yet another juicy one that we suspend disbelief, squint our eyes a little bit and react a little too passionately? “Don’t Bother Me With Facts!”https://www.blogger.com/profile/12095434886645236079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-79332196397122735452015-10-30T16:01:56.446-04:002015-10-30T16:01:56.446-04:00Us liberals are primed to believe stories that fit...Us liberals are primed to believe stories that fit a certain mold without question and often with a good deal of desperate enthusiasm. In other words, if it Walks like a Duck, Quacks Like a Duck , it’s a Duck! "Ynarmed child" is shot in the back while kneeling and begging for his life, a kid is arrested for taking a clock to school. We don't bother with the facts, because after all, there is a history of minorities being treated unfairly and therefore we assume that if B follows A, B implies A. It doesn't and there's a name for the fallacy.<br /><br />A kid brings an apparatus in a briefcase to school, made out of clock parts and looks to me very much like the bomb timer you see in so many movies that counts down the minutes to the explosion. If I were a teacher or Principal, I would have called an expert too and I have a background in electronic engineering. It looks very much like something the movies have conditioned us to see as a countdown timer for a bomb. Did he "invent" a clock and put it in a "pencil case" that looks like it came out of a<br />James Bond movie or did he take apart a clock and stuff it in something chosen to look suspicious? Your assumptions here mean a lot. The way it's framed means everything. As many on both sides of the political divide seem to agree: "It looks like a f*cking bomb!"<br /><br />But because police have a history of abusing minorities, any arrest is abuse and because the kid is a Muslim, we, as dependably bigoted and privileged white people are to be presumed acting from bigotry. It must be an act of racism, for are we not white? It must be racism for is he not Muslim?<br /><br />The thoughts of Liberals seem to be steered by the same sloppy, emotional and instinctive pseudo-reasoning as those of Conservatives, Libertarians, Socialists and for all I know, professors of mathematics. Go ahead, you blue eyed, blond Norwegian Lutheran - put some clock parts, a battery and a mess of wires in a briefcase and try to get on a plane so you can claim the TSA is profiling Scandinavians.<br /><br />“Don’t Bother Me With Facts!”https://www.blogger.com/profile/12095434886645236079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145653764764266444.post-7737097187746851682015-10-30T15:43:19.523-04:002015-10-30T15:43:19.523-04:00Thank you, Katharine.

Or Do the Democrats hate Ben Carson because he is just to smart to belly up to their nonsense? <br />I actually think that the Democrats, Liberals, Progressives ,and all the other Psychopaths, Sociopaths, and all other maniacs, lunatics, and unstable people with mental disorders and their sycophants in the media attack and lie about Ben Carson because he is a black man who doesn't follow their orders. This is the real reason he is being attacked. They hate him because was a man who grew up poor in bad neighborhoods and became a accomplished brain surgeon with above average intelligence. He proves that you don't need the slave masters of the Lunatic Democrat party to become successful.<br /><br />The lunatics in the media, as well as the Lunatic Democratic Hate groups, with their Blogs, their Facebooks and what have you will be running 24/7 to supply all the lies, the damaging made-up stories, and the Race cards that the Hillary Faithful can either dig up or make up. <br /> <br />Ben Carson is proving the truth that us Conservatives already knew that the oldest American hate group in America (the Democrat party) has never really changed. <br /><br />The liberal sicko’s the, screwbals, the kooks and the loon are scared to death that the Republicans will elect a Black man and therefor put all their lies about Republicans being racist to bed once and for all.
