I'm Republican around 90% Republican, Israel is cool but when it comes down to it. I'd put American interests first no matter what. This is another lie used to push an agenda. Use your brains instead of being loyal to a party and vote based on your interests instead of believing everything you hear, see or read.

You realize that almost no one is going to get the reference vis a vis 'l'affaire Dreyfus' right?

Have a great day!

If the Jews in Israel or anywhere else knew what the Southern Baptist truly think of them they'd be shocked.

The only reason Evangelical Christians support Israel is because it fits their end-times world view.

They dont claim it was Wiccan. Easter co-opted the old Pagan Oestre, as they did Christmas and Samhain (old Celtic holiday that became Halloween). I've studied and researched this stuff for 20 years.

Wiccans nor anyone else ever claimed that. The early Pagans had their holy days co-opted by the Catholic church to make Catholicism more palatable to the old Goddess worshippers. Get your facts straight.

To be fair...oh goddammit, I can't even snark this.

it's bad enough to want a war that will only benefit a wealthy enclave, but at least that wealthy enclave includes your citizens, however few. To want a war with Iran to benefit another country and to the likely, no sure-as-fuck definite, detriment of your own motherland? I just can't even.

If they love Israel so much why don't they move there?

I take MY marching orders from Bob Marley records so I'm probably a traitor too.

Guild-y, as charged. Gibson of that sweet hollow-body tone over, to cheer me up.

Hey, how about somebody asks students running for student government how their Christian identity would affect their ability to objectively govern their fellow students?

Just be ready to pull on the hazmat suit, and wait for the shitstorm of butthurt.

It's because the prez is black. It has ALWAYS been mostly that and nothing else no matter how much they try deny it.

Same deal with Putin sympathizing etc. Those guys are all white. The prez is not. Why is this still a surprise? Does it need to be spelled out in crayon?

However, Repubs are quite adaptable. They simply need to replace racism with sexism for Hillary. So they got that going for them...which is nice.

Wingnuts have mastered the ability to support Israel and Jews in the most anti-Semitic way possible. I really can't imagine any other group having supporters be this bold-faced with their objectives and the 'liberal' media just letting it go...
