Thank you. What happened in Gaza did not occur in a vacuum.

My comment that Israel practiced apartheid is my opinion and you don’t agree.
That’s fair.

See when we separate fact, from opinion the result is clarity.

Why do you all keep chatting with BB?
He is like that shiny object distracting you from real issues.

Debating a Democrat liberal/Progressive/Activist is like trying to debate with a schizophrenic. It can't be done!

Let's focus on the City of Washington and Beaufort County. There are plenty of negatives there to be discussed and resolved.

Instead of sounding hysterical, give one example of such a comment. Be factual.

You confuse facts with opinion. Then lose control of your emotions. Say something factual. It isn't hard. Or maybe it is?

That said, there is nothing wrong with opinion, provided you understand others may have a different opinion. There is only one set of facts (known, knowns) the rest is up for discussion. Man up.

Little Bobbie's embrace of the far left totaliarian cancel culture is a stark example of his extremism. Cancel culture is a western adaptation of Chairman Mao's Cultural Revolution. Van Zant is spot on. woke is not "middle of the road". It is extreme left.

Van Zant, most on these boards only have knowledge of communism from a distance. I saw it first hand, living under a communist government for two years and due to my work having frequent interactions with Communist officials, including a couple of cabinet ministers and some members of parliament. My staff also kept constant track of government policy positions.

When I compare the policy positions of those actual Communists and those espoused on these borads fy Big Bob, the positions Bob takes on his favorite issues, climate, immigration, and social issues, is to the LEFT of those actual Communists. I have not seen him ever take a position to the right of those actual Communists. There are a few issues, like Bob's being an apologist for Hamas that cannot be compared since I never saw those Communists take a position on Israel, but Bob's position there is consistnent with the far left generally.

Someone who is to the left of actual Communists is a LONG way from "middle of the road".

I cannot say about your comparison of Bob's positions to Mao and Ho, but I can compare them to the positions of actual Communists whose government I persaonlly lived under, and they are very similar.

Quote: Those already US citizens would be more difficult, but every effort should be made to strip them of citizenship and deport them, too.

Your words. Come for my rights...see what happens.

MAGA - they dont care who you are - they will turn on everybody. Even US citizens.

It is not just about the money, although that aspect is bad enough. This is about political power and control over the common people. Dr. Vaclav Klaus, who served multiiple terms as both Prime Minister and President of the Czech Republic, calls climate alarmism "a budding totalitarian ideolody that is the greatest threat to freedom, democracy, and prosperity in the world today." Dr. Klaus wrote an entire book on the subject entitled "Blue Planet in Green Shackles - what is in jeopardy, climate or freedom?" which has been published in eight languages.

I'm about where John F. Kennedy was in 1960, and he was considered a liberal in his time. EVen with George McGovern, who was considered an ultra-liberal, I am probably closer to him on his right than you are to him on his left. It is the left over the last few decades that has shifted hugely much farther left, leaving today's conservatives such as myself to occupy the political ground once considered "liberal". Your views expressed on this board are far to the left of what used to be considered a liberal.

You say that because you don't realize how far right you are. To you, Atilla the Hun looks like a hippy.

Please consider some level of self awareness.
