Off-Topic / Donald J. Trump and William Randolph Hearst [11]

Sarcasm aside, Mr. Jokster, one cannot deny the strong similarities,
witness Trump, like Newt, Bannon, even Reagan, giving the royal finger
to the American, indeed the world, public.....once again!!

@Rich,
It's common in speech to say things such as, "Being a joker, aren't we!"
when referring to another person's remark of which we disapprove.

@Ironside,

Hope's the thing with feathers, that perches in the soul....

First of all, success is always relative, you people.
Many Bklyn. slumlords are deemed "successful" by their
fellow Satmar followers, yet on the grand scale, they're hardly
successful as they constantly live in fear of being either attacked
or killed!

Obviously, you didn't understand my post.
Why should I bother explaining things to you.
While Trump erodes the foundations of democracy, humanity,
and freedom of speech, you and your kind blithely stay home
and surf the TV!

With Trump as President, the US has been committing slow suicide,
despite the repreave of a Biden interlude, for years now!

For good reason, Rich! Look at the man's record. Nothin' I'd be proud of.

A country in need of heroes

Jews fought and died for THEIR country, Germany, long before Hitler took power! Many awarded the Iron Cross.
Their sole language was German, their cultural identity was German, not Yiddish, certainly not Hebrew.
The majority were in fact horrified by Viennese Jew Theodor Herzl's radical notion that Israel aka Palestine
was the true homeland of the Jews. Germany was the homeland for Germany's assimilated Jews, bar none.
What are you talking about?

Most of Europe's Jews were demonized as Christ killers by the Catholic Church,
all of which was based on a myth propagated by the Church Fathers in order to
deflect blame on the true culprits here, namely the Romans!!

Rogue monk Luther didn't make things any easier for them when he
ranted that they should be burned out of their homes and driven out
from their villages.

Those protests signal a deep and abiding distaste for the current regime.
The reaction from the White House, "Who cares", is merely typical of their
indifference, the worst sort of difference there is.

There are plenty of misguided folks out there who worship Charlie much
as millions of misguided Germans worshipped Adolf, only to eventually reap
the suffering upon themselves which they inflicted on so many others.

What goes around comes around and payback time bites hard!

Off-Topic / Is Islam a threat to western society? [215]

Many clueless young people, almost exclusively women, typically with an ahistorical memory,
for whom 9/11 is ancient history, find Islamic accoutrements attractive and the burkha/kitab combo sexy.
Some might actually make a deep study of the Muslim faith and even convert, perhaps because they
are in the experimental phase of their still young lives (many not yet out of their teens or mid-twenties!),
without regard for or grounded understanding of the Western tradition.

All this is another direct result of the fallout from the Woodstock Era; everything traditionally European
is thus boring, indeed suspect, while everything Near Eastern, African, and Asian is somehow, cool, in,
desirable.

Ignorance is always the death knell of civilization. As Santayana once said.......

@Rich,
You do realize of course that Big Don in the White House is the new Teflon Don.
I hope you can see that, it's not such a mystery, what with his Mafia ties etc.
Remember, only the current president can lie with impunity.....and NOT even get
called on the carpet.

A rise in purchase prices out of synch with average daily cost of living expenses,
something which the President's childishly vengeful tariffs have exacerbated for
the US public, save of course for the top 1%, the usual suspects!

Boy, that's sure a switch, considering ol' man Freddy was a Long Island Klansman way

@PolAmKrakow,
The problem is that the Dems have relinquished their contract with their
fellow US citizens! Once again, the proverbial pendulum has swung in the opposite
direction and standards of excellence have long since been abandoned in favor of a
a woke philosophy based on an outmoded, idiotic Woodstock Era philosophy, according to
which discipline is tantamount to faschism and order, organization, to militarism.

As this anti-intellectualism is far from the promise of the New Deal, Roosevelt must be turning over in his grave.

@Rich,
For the bazillionth time, the reasons that Reagan was elected, paving the way for Tea Party Republicans
and later the MAGA movement, were and still are untrammeled greed, egotism, above all, social diaper rash!!
Compare the likes of Trump's inner circle, among others, Pete Hegseth & Co. with the likes of Wm. P. Rogers,
Ted Sorensen, Robt. McNamara along with rest of the Camelot Coterie under JFK, and we can't avoid a glaring
glance at the infantility of the current crowd. Even the first Reagan Admin. had more literate folks in the cabinet than
today. In Hegseth's lovely speech before the Joint Armed Services Committee several weeks ago, he let more than
one four-letter word slip out, as his speech was really a rant and, like his boss, he ended up venting rather than
speaking.

America today no longer understands her societal responsibilities to ALL Americans, not simply the top 1%.
I'm hardly "against" the concept of success. I am against the concept of success at any and all human costs.
Were there more Aaron Feuersteins out there, the US and the world would be a better place for everyone.

In the end, we're not on Earth to do solely what we want to do 24/7, but instead what we have to to.....or
risk the consequences of increased violence, lashing out, and anti-Americanism world wide, not to mention
anti-Semitism, here at home.

@Maf, the average person believes what they WANT TO believe, even
when it's an out and out lie!!

Trump has the public buffaloed. As race was the number one issue during the campaign,
Trump played on the public's fears like a Stradavarius, tapping into their myriad weaknesses,
such as infantilism, ignorance, petty bigotry, isolationism and selfishness.

No country, including the US, wishes to be seen as simply a way station,

Hate speech, PolAmKrakow???

What's hateful about exposing the truth?
The only thing the truth hurts is those who lie:-)

The bulk of the US voted and votes Republican, period!
As the majority of so-called "red" states are typically rural,
it should come as little to no surprise that most of the voters
in these states consider themselves a self-reliant bunch who
uniformly despise the federal government and associate
urban America with the den of hated gov't programs.

The late Charlie Kirk, Rush Limbaugh, pop, quasi-demagogues with quick and snappy answers (especially Rush) and others were the
beloved mouthpiece of this disenfranchised group.

Morever, hardly a coincedence that most red staters are white:-)
