Donald Trump is very good at instilling fear of other races in people. His racism is more indirect.Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law.

Originally posted by Catholicity View PostA bit strange that YOU think the democrats are feeding me something given that my views on Donald Trump are based solely on what he has authorized called for and his actions not on what anyone tells me to think. I only left the Republican party a few months ago and never actually read a singluar news source, I read EVERY news paper and media outlet I could get my hands on before making my opinion. Try again.
ETA: Unless you really want me to respond to something here, I'm unsubscribing. It's time to step away from politics for a bit to focus on more important things.Last edited by One Bad Pig; 03-08-2019, 01:07 PM.Enter the Church and wash away your sins.

Originally posted by Bill the Cat View PostNo he hasn't.

Originally posted by Tassman View PostYou mean “reasonable Americans” claiming in response to chant’s of “White lives matter” and “Jews will not replace us" at Charlottesville, that “there were good people on both sides”. Gotcha!
And you still avoided the argument. Reasonable people know anti-Semitism is wrong.
And you've also not engaged with the topic of this thread, so cut out the derail or leave my thread.That's what

Originally posted by Bill the Cat View PostOnce again, you're an idiot media tourist who knows nothing more than what the media spoon feeds you. The wanna-be Nazis were not the only ones at Charlottesville. There were several flagger groups, some that want nothing more than the preservation of Southern monuments and the freedom to fly the stars and bars. The chant "white lives matter" was in DIRECT response to the racist BLM movement, and the fake Nazis were the only ones calling out Jews. The flagger group from my home town actually forced the fake Nazis away from the statue that was under seige for most of the day. I personally know a member of that group and have for over 35 years and I trust her report over the fake news account any day.
And you still avoided the argument. Reasonable people know anti-Semitism is wrong.
