Joe Ferguson forever

I didn't say "the right" but certainly some of the far right are anti Catholic. Which party do you believe the KKK identifies more with? And I'm still searching for the motivation for Levi's clearly anti Catholic sentiment in regards to Mexicans. 1 strike against a group of people is never a good sentiment but perhaps you share it and would like to explain the rationale. Levi clearly won't and will pretend he meant something else while not explaining. Familiar tactic amongst the extremists and their leaders.

about 25% of the US population is Catholic. And this is how you defend your statement. Not buying it. You're clearly anti Catholic like so many far right extremists and hate groups. They're real and pervasive in some parts of the country (think deep south and white hooded robes). Sadly, our faith has its own subset of extremists. To wit, B man....

maybe it's your writing. What did you mean by this? Strike one implies a negative connotation, right? or did you mean that there aren't many Catholics in the US sharing Mexicans beliefs? You're right, I'm confused by your statement. But I have some ideas....

The fact you don't like it reassures me that I'm hitting the mark. Not sure how you got to YOUR conclusion from what I've said which is that the bible is not a book to be blindly taken literally. Ya know, the fundamentalist way. Re the last sentence, why do you consider Cartholicism bad as a Mexican characteristic? You keep ducking this. You said it. I'm asking why.

Untrue. I'm a practicing Catholic. Not ignoring anything. Maybe you should read some of the New Testament writings on how to treat immigrants and the unfortunate. Literal interpretation of the bible is what happens when some dummy ignores or is ignorant of the 2000+ year old historical context of the bible and to the writers of it. The informed understand the goals of many of the authors in the dire time period of the middle east at the time. Context matters. But admittedly, it's easier to take every word literally. No study or thought needed. A trip to the Assyrian portion of the British museum might help your understanding of the old testament era. why do you dislike (hate?) Catholics yup. A large portion of the stupid MAGA base and a threat to all who don't believe what they do...

well a little concession is better than no concession. so who among the great fundamentalist theologians decides what is and isn't literal. What I see is the words that support their extremist agenda are to be taken literally and those that don't are ignored; like the 10 commandments and the orange false god. more importantly, what is your beef against Catholics? Is it the Theology or something else?

How old was Noah when he died. Moses? Was the earth created in 6 days? Was the Ark story historical? Were Adam and Eve really the first humans and were living blissfully in the garden of eden? C'mon. Graduate from 1st grade religion class. Parables by definition are not literal. a simple story used to illustrate a moral or spiritual lesson, as told by Jesus in the Gospels. "the parable of the blind men and the elephant" synonym=fable

you mean where the "elites" send their kids? terrible places....

cuz there r no Catholics in the US?

Given that allegory was a common form of literature among old testament writers and that parables were extremely important in the new testament, what you say here is just plain ignorant.

Wow. please expound on why this characteristic is negative in your eyes. B man will be especially interested. hmmm..what hate groups are anti Catholic? or tubing to the Canadian side on the Niagara River effortlessly. Those were the days...

guessing u haven't been around many fundamentalists and they aren't included in your circle. do u believe in a literal interpretation of the bible? Many MAGAs do.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/biden-vs-trump-on-the-economy-and-the-winner-is-164241570.html If the economy holds up during the rest of 2024, as most economists expect, Biden will sustain that 4-3 advantage in our tracking. We measure the current president’s economy against prior presidents at the same point in their term. The COVID pandemic dominated Trump’s fourth year in office, wrecking Trump’s stats on employment and GPD growth. So a head-to-head comparison favors Biden for the next 10 months and if stocks do well he could beat Trump there also, for a 5-2 edge in our seven metrics.

No. Do you both not realize that this was a book written in 2016 to stir up the MAGA base? It meant to give their "grievances" legitimacy. Working in health care in Appalachia, I saw a great deal of free flowing anger and substance abuse. Everyone did and still does. Why do you imagine a state like West Virginia with a largely poor and uneducated population is so red? They don't want an equal playing field for jobs because they can't compete with better trained, more educated colleagues. They want an unequal playing field favoring them. And they think that's what trump is offering. Same thought processes in JD Vance's,Jim Jordan's, MTG's, Boebert's and many other MAGA districts. Progress has passed them by and they fall further behind daily.

Lots of angry people around. Lots of violence, riots, hate groups, hate speech, deceit, targeted misinformation, scapegoating etc. Yes, I've met some angry and many miserable people. Many try to temper their misery with drugs and alcohol somewhat decreasing their anger. but it's out there for sure.

Watching SNL from last night and looking for the White Men Can Jump skit and this pops up: Angry White Male: How the Donald Trump Phenomenon is Changing America―and What We Can All Do to Save the Middle Class Hardcover – August 23, 2016 by Wayne Allyn Root (Author), Roger Stone (Foreword) 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 93 ratings 3.0 on Goodreads 22 ratings See all formats and editions The mainstream media and ultra-liberal Democrats can’t understand why white voters, especially white men, are so angry. Wayne Allyn Root is an angry white male, and he knows why. This is his story, his testimony, and a look at what’s happening to an entire group of good people: law-abiding, tax-paying, hard-working, middle-class people. They’re being targeted, silenced, intimidated, persecuted — virtually wiped off the planet — in order to make guilty, politically correct white liberals feel better about themselves. It’s open season on white males. And yes, you’re damn right they’re angry. In Angry White Male, Root makes his case why he and his brethren have every right to be angry. Millions of angry white males are not on the attack but rather responding in self-defense. Root urges the middle class to take charge before they are protested and legislated out of existence, penniless, powerless, jobless, afraid to speak for fear of being shouted down and immediately labeled “racist.” Not afraid of being politically incorrect, Angry White Male exposes the unfair and unregulated policies, politically correct attitudes, and reverse racism that have recently oppressed and depressed the shrinking middle class — in voting, housing, guns, taxes, regulation, and jobs — and provides the playbook to empower readers to protect their rights. They can do this by verbalizing, mobilizing, and protesting, getting out to vote in record numbers, pushing for term limits, fighting the “not so free” trade battle, fighting for a “Middle-Class Contract with America” and “Middle-Class Income Tax Vacation,” and arming themselves with the “Middle-Class Weapon of Self-Defense.” Let the revolution begin! view from the inside....foreward by Roger Stone

back to our regularly schedule thread and the truth: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna140335 NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. — Nazis appeared to find a friendly reception at the Conservative Political Action Conference this year. Throughout the conference, racist extremists, some of whom had secured official CPAC badges, openly mingled with conference attendees and espoused antisemitic conspiracy theories.

yeah, it's the kinda song that MAGA's like. I thought you'd be happy. but way to miss the point...while "Doc" spews revisionist history and willfully ignores reality.

fomented, organized, allowed to continue and condoned. better? the jan 6 convict scum are "hostages" right?

no. just show them to be nonviable and inconsequential as a political force. and be prepared for their next violent temper tantrum, jailing the planners.

Thanks for that Mr White supremacist. Now address the fact that every lawsuit re the results of the 2016 election were decided against trump, many by white judges. Did an African American take your place at Harvard? LOL

as usual, false equivalence as a fallacious form of argument. The insurrection, led by a sitting president and now condoned by a presidential candidate is unprecedented. The capitOl (it's spelled with an O dummy) was never overtaken by a mob before. And once we rid ourselves of MAGA scum, it will never again be.

It's class warfare and MAGA's don't have the numbers: https://www.axios.com/2024/02/25/trump-voter-demographics-problem-election-2024 "If America were dominated by old, white, election-denying Christians who didn't go to college, former President Trump would win the general election in as big of a landslide as his sweep of the first four GOP contests. Why it matters: It's not. That's why some top Republicans are worried about the general election in November, despite Trump's back-to-back-to-back-to-back wins in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina. Trump was declared the winner of Saturday's South Carolina's Republican Party the second that polls closed, trouncing Nikki Haley by 20 points (60% to 40%) in the state where she was governor. The Trump campaign declared the primary fight over, even though he can't officially clinch the nomination until next month. By the numbers: Trump dominates with older white voters without college diplomas who believe the last election was rigged, according to network exit polls and AP VoteCast, which interviewed 2,440 South Carolina primary voters over five days. Where he won: Two-thirds of Trump voters were white and didn't go to college. (VoteCast) Three-quarters of those without a college degree went for Trump. (CNN) 83% of "angry" voters backed Trump. (ABC) Where he lost: 75% of Haley supporters correctly said Biden was legitimately elected president in 2020 (about 40% of them voted for Biden). (VoteCast) A stunning 62% of Republican primary voters said Biden wasn't legitimately elected. (NBC) "
