don't engage in anecdotes. it weakens your point.

his point is moronic and is not made less so because you had dinner with a muslim.

there are more than a billion muslims in the world, living their lives in peace, in democratic muslim countries. More than a billion muslims with varying degrees of religiosity, just like there are christians who have never stepped foot ...[text shortened]... amily in a bomb dropped by a drone. When they are starving because of a siege or economic sanctions.

What has that got to do with the USA and should they not improve their own country? Should we take on their problems? How much so? Did you see where we have invited people of the Palestine society, beliefs, religion, daily life, to live in our country? From a purely objective point of view, that does not make any sense. Even the sight of a beautiful spreading oak tree will throw them off balance. Last month my daughter saw one walking a Florida beach in full robed black hijab type regalia with only eyes showing

Churchill saved the world and was removed from office.

Trump did not save the world - could not even build a simple wall - and was removed from office.

Catch the difference?

As a liberal, which you certainly are, you think the issue is comparing saving the world to building a wall. That is not the issue, it is the mistakes, in both cases, of two leaders blocked from finishing their leaderships. Did u miss where I said that a $20B wall would have been quite the success, considering no crime or drugs or trafficking, nor spending $150 billion fighting the invaders?
Did you miss that? Golly. Do you not agree that had there been a wall, if there were a wall there right now, that everything would be much better.?
Everyone, Wildgrass seems to suggest that it was a good idea that there not be a wall erected by Donald Trump over an eight year period? Have any of you lost anyone or known anyone who died of fentanyl or have been raped or murdered or in a car wreck, by an illegal immigrant, etc. etc. etc.. ?
Furthermore, does everyone agree that a wall should be built by Trump when he takes office? A good question.

PS: Note that the reasoning behind not wanting Trump around is that he is personally disliked. Liberals do not understand his ability to lead…… well they are about to see it. Yeah, Old Sunhouse he sure hated Trump‘s trash mouth. I would never vote for anybody that had a trash mouth. I think Michael Jordan had a trash mouth. I will look it up.

The past informs the future.

E.g. if you marry someone who has been divorced, you're more than likely to be divorced again. This is statistically supported and common sense.

You are correct about marital probability.

So, I used to live next to a Saudi in Vienna. He worked at the Embassy.

His children used to play in our small yard. They climbed our trees.

When I dined at his table, they served a lot of fruit. They were very friendly. The smell in their home was of cardamom. He did not wear robes and was not smelly.

He did not kill any homosexuals in my presence.

SO WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!??!?

Saudis murder LGBTQ people. I’m told throw off of rooftops. Spruce says robed easterners do not smell. I beg to differ.

As to dining with someone, we all have our experiences. I avoided certain people in S Alabama. These conversations are generalizing.
Hey, I know what it is. You liberals think everyone and every instance every venue everything should be perfect. How has that eluded me? I do not, so I guess that sets us apart just a tad.

You have an overwhelming stench of racism yourself. Try living overseas for a few years and maybe, just maybe you could overcome you pitiful bias.
Wake up and smell the coffee. The US is composed of immigrants so suck it up and live with it. Like in Queens, about 800 languages spoken there, I would assume that would be the last place on Earth you would want to visit. You are a provincial stuck in your little world and always will be.

Sonhouse. Yes, Irish, German, they all came here and became Americans. The ones coming here ain’t thinking about that. They want to turn America into their country , another country. Like you and your friends want to do. It is no secret. You don’t like American, you welcome their protests hating America.
Your post here does not touch on that pesky factoid. Hey…..why don’t they live in their own countries? Simple question, but you won’t answer.
Thank you for not mentioning Trump. I will give you a thumb up for not mentioning Trump. Some posters will think I gave it for another reason, but I don’t mind things like that.

Lord, they are COMING.!,

Your ignorant, narrow minded, racist attitude is duly noted. 🙄

See post just above. We would all be one happy bunch of neighbors?

Those are different species. All humans are one species.

Your analogy should be "I never saw Dominiques, Rhode Island Reds, and Orpingtons in one friendly group." Which means that in your Bubble, you've never heard of a mixed flock.

Get out of your Bubble. Learn things.

Point taken, I guess you missed my rudimentary point.
So, tell us all what we can learn from a child of Arafat, moving in next door.. or a Saudi, that kills homosexuals, to dine at my table in his smelly robe? Please?

I guess SHouse is a pussy. Who knew?!?!?

He had 4 years, republican support, and unlimited resources to do that one thing. He failed.

History would have repeated again.

A nowhere joust. You see, you get personal. I am writing about a president, not a person. Let’s say it was Wakoma, building a wall, being removed from office, blah blah blah. You will recall that the great Churchill was removed thoughtlessly from office after he saved the fuking world.
Two big mistakes? I think so. You often think shallow. Too personal , like Sonhouse. Trump erred with women. Fire Him? didn’t give much thought to how a entry was made on a ledger, thinking more about staying out of trouble regarding a marital problem.
What weenies, indeed. Any poster here who keeps bringing up the grab pussy comment has to be a pussy themselves.

This is really off-the-wall, but you might imagine how unbelievable conservatives find liberals when it comes to government support. It is just amazing to us. I am asking you to consider that Shav has been writing about how little he would like to work, maybe only 20 hours a week. But he never, as I say, closes, by telling us what happens when he can’t work anymore. What ...[text shortened]... nished proposal, his life, ‘his’ dream?
Are my queries so mean? SHouse calls me asswipe. Why?

Here is my Shav post. Please answer what a liberal such as he should expect when he quits his 20/hr job when he becomes feeble. That income may have thrown off about $65/month in SS, if that.

The past informs the future.

You wanna go there? Had we not replaced our country-loving president, we would have a $20B wall now, we would have order, lives saved, and have saved the $150B the illegal invaders have cost us.
So this is how our past today informs us of the future that was in store. if we had it all to do over, and if it were possible, would our populous vote to have the wall, or vote to have what we have now? I think my queries are too easy for liberals to understand or to respond to..

I'm not a lib. But I stopped supporting Republicans after they abandoned the essential rule that the government needs to spend within its means.

I ain’t thinking about it.

I would have ridden that train with you, but there was no where else to go. You got off at the last stop, I still gaze longingly out at the passing fruited plains. But why dwell on the past? We are where we are and we have to take the best road that is available to us. We agree.!

Hey assswipe, one of my best friends and former boss was Alex Punesku, a Romanian GENIUS I met in Jerusalem, Oh GOD, another culture. How can I live with myself?

You want one of those students WEARING a white scarf with BLACK SPOTS on it to move in next door to you. Absolutely nothing in common. So much to learn (all meaningless), yet so little time. Their scarfed children playing with your neverhavingwornascarf children……..and so forth. Yuk. Never have seen a barnyard with rabbits, chickens, goats, and pigs all mixed up in one friendly group. I wonder why that is.
