Once again you are a fecking idiot. What is wrong with you? you may really live in South Florida but you are an incarnation of the other guys that came on before you. Start off pretending to be open minded but then go onto repeating alt right lies and straight up bs.

You are a disgrace as a human.

This fantasy that the left are evil is ridiculous. They have you in their cold grasp so much so you are repeating their lies.

Do yourself a favour and find a forum for your own kind. There are thousands and millions of good honest conservative voters out there but you are not one of them. The stuff you post is absolute garbage, it's the same made up rhetoric from people prying on the ignorant and stupid to make the left look evil.

finally don't pretend you actually read multiple news sources because if you did you would probably more open minded than the garbage you spout.

I fully expect you to ignore me or reply and try turn my words on me. Same MO as the last idiots.

The world is changing for the worse and its definitely not because of the left.
 
Perhaps the most sane commentary of the week:

Enough with the Noise and the Vitriol

I was moved this week to post on Facebook calling out President Trump’s implicit racism. In that post, I wrote:

I am a rabbi in Rep. Ilhan Omar’s district. I have had the occasion to meet with Representative Omar and her staff on numerous occasions—including one in Washington in which she graciously invited my father to join me. Even if her previous remarks may be offensive and even if she disagrees with the policies of the current Israeli government, I cannot stay silent today. I stand fully beside her – and her colleagues – and support her in the face of the recent racist tweets of the president. This is not how we engage in civil dialogue. This is not how we do business and politics in this country. We are and have been better than this. We need to be better than this.

198 comments, 64 shares, and 343 reactions within 24 hours. And numerous emails, and death threats, and text messages.

I regularly have called out Representative Ilhan Omar for her previous antisemitic rhetoric, as well as her seemingly anti-Israel positions and sentiments. I speak loudly and proudly from the pulpit not only in support of Israel, but in support of a strong US-Israel relationship and Pro-Israel politics. And I am even more dismayed that along with Representatives Tlaib and Lewis, Representative Omar just introduced a Pro-BDS resolution.

This will continue to add fuel to the vitriolic fire, playing into President Trump’s campaign strategy of using the Jewish people and Israel as a political football. We can praise the support as we find it—and yet this is meant to divide us. And further, it is overwhelmingly being used, on both sides, as a lightning rod to foment deeper hate. It is the weaponization of love for the Jewish people. Who loves us more? Who hates us more? We cannot fall victim to the political tricks that rely on racism, and the meme of antisemitism, to bolster both sides, while still doing immense communal harm.

When you review the poison in this scree on Facebook, it is clear to me that the hate is so much stronger than I ever thought previously. And frankly, when I’ve written condemning Representative Omar, the hate is still there, but from the left instead of the right.

Alas, I continue to believe in dialogue. And I continue to believe in civil discourse. That is the implicit nature of the ancient rabbinic teaching, that there are 70 faces to the Torah. We are charged with understanding each face, each opinion, each idea—and respecting and engaging with each one.

Our challenge: if everyone is right, then no one is wrong. But why does there have to be right and wrong? Why can’t we just say that the way we talk to each other is depraved and abusive? Why can’t we say that hate is being fomented on the left AND the right—and that we need a full system reboot? Because it would seem to me that the Jewish community is now more divided than ever. The left has done this to us. The right has done this to us. Our previous president did this to us. Our current president is doing this to us.

Can’t we call out that rhetoric irrespective of the side of the aisle?

To be clear, I am not siding with Representative Omar’s full scope of politics, especially around Israel, but I am advocating for a reboot as to how we dialogue any issue—whether it be Israel, women’s rights, the plight of immigrants, really anything. We need a better way to dialogue. We need to stop committing the logical fallacy of vicious ad hominem attacks, especially when they are bigoted and hateful.

We need to be better. And I believe we can be, each and every one of us.

Opening borders isn't 'hard left'. Christ. When did giving people the liberty to live where they want become a radical policy?

They can live where they want, but there has to be a system. That's how society works, by most people following the rules. If everyone who wanted to live in America was allowed to just by showing up at the border, where would that leave the welfare bill, where would leave schools, healthcare and what would it do to wages for the low skilled? How would towns and cities across America absorb all these millions of immigrants, many of whom might have no desire to assimilate and potentially have criminal backgrounds?

Japan is an interesting example of a country with practically zero diversity, basically no history of immigration. Japan also has incredibly low levels of crime and tops lists of health and education. Their economy is also the 3rd biggest in the world

What's even more terrifying is the brainwashing of right wingers by the fakest news outlets like Fox News.

It's not media when it's propaganda. Hannity is an entertainer, not a member of the media (he had to admit that).

Open borders? The Kool-Aid is strong with you. Nobody wants open borders. Making immigration easier on the other hand is a different story. That said, seeking asylum in this country is legal. Perhaps if you had dear friends and family in your life who's families sought and were granted asylum here you'd be able to wrap your brain around it better.

The most chilling thing for me is the complete dismissal by your ilk of the extreme racist language by Trump and his supporters.

If we are sending folks back, let's send Trump...err Drumpf back to Germany and his wife back to Russia.

Before you respond that their family/they immigrated legally, another reminder that asylum seekers are legally entering the country too.

I don't watch Fox news. What news do you watch so I can make the same ignorant generalisation about you?

Yeah, Hannity's an entertainer, but what's Don Lemon or Rachel Maddow? They're supposed to be indepndent journalists, not Democratic Party activists and left wing propaganda merchants

Calling him "Drumpf" is pretty racist. Here's a little piece about that:

Melania isn't from Russia. Get a passport and go traveling, there's a whole world out there

I'd have thought its universal health care system, relatively affordable education system and the fact its a less inequal state than the US is might have something to do with that.

I believe the original question was, what was your take on the ‘send her back’ chants?

Drumpf isn't racist you fool that is his family's actual name. They changed it when arriving in the US.

By the by when Melania Trump left Slovenia it was part of Yugoslavia which was still part of the USSR. Go do some reading. So his Russia jibe isn't far off.

I'll answer that question with another question. Why is Nicolas Cage's later body of work always used against him when he's put in such stellar performances in Leaving Las Vegas, the Weatherman, The Rock and Raising Arizona among many many others?
