Well, Thomas, I have no Jewish ancestry, nor do I favor Pat Robertson, as a general rule,
because of his (liberal) theocratical tendencies and because of his activism against freedom of abortion, but
I 'm gonna support the Jews and Pat in this regard. Giving aid and comfort to our Moslem enemies is treason.

A prime example of the logic that OmSig always talks about.

Pat Robertson, (liberal) theocratical tendencies; more of that same logic.

Oh, please don't mind Thomas - he's probably been harassed one too many times by the Foofies of this world, people who obviously know nothing of either European or American history and nonetheless persist in having strong opinions on both.

There are no other "Foofies of this world." ...

We all on this forum (judging from posts here) devoutedly hope so, regardless of political affiliation or religion. Your ignorant, bigoted, ahistorical, gratuitous, offensive and absurd comments on history (US or EU) can be read on this very thread. You never questioned, btw, attacks on Phoenix personally - attacks not shared by anyone else expressing the identical views. Are you another "jewish-physique"- obsessed freak? As to harassment, that was too kind a term for your contemptible commentary - crass persecution bordering on illegality is the correct term, and it is herewith duly amended.

@Thomas,

Sorry, but except for planting the stars & bars to claim territory, the analogy is perfect. It sounds very much as though disingenuous means it doesn't support you viewpoint.

What's [kind of] amazed is how easy it is for bigotry and hate to rise to the surface.

Next discussion:

The good aspects of segregation; why we should consider reinstating a fine tradition.

Saddam, the US government, who would you trust, hmmmmmm, maybe this would be a good time for a coin toss.

@JTT,

Good point. If trust equates to Saddam, the US might not be all that trustworthy.

Well, um, how did Saddam get into the conversation. Now that you mention him, you could also mention GW Bush. They were both liars.

If you are lumping all Muslims into Saddam you may as well lump all Americans into Bush. Would that be fair? Of course not.

I'm not sure I'm amazed.
More like consistently disappointed.

Since David and I don't speak the same dialect of English, I'm not willing to assume that I understand his silly posting patterns.

I understand that it came from a Viking having said "by God" in his language, refusing to kiss the foot of the King of England,
by whom he had been captured, during war.

Now, it is used to indicate a person of strongly held opinions
of which the person who uses that word disapproves,
unless he submits and changes his mind when pressure is applied by the person who alleges the bigotry.

In other words, a bigot is someone who has the strength of his convictions
when faced with adversity, with politically correct people hurling insults at him.

That explains why so few Jews were available for adoption at the local animal shelter.

@High Seas,

I have a close friend who doesn't regard Plato very well, but I'm too ignorant to critique him on that - and enjoyed your analogy. Plus I'm always interested in ideas for my own self defense re digressing (which I try to self moderate on, not that you could ever tell).

I'm self contradicting though, in that I suggested, er, told, JTT to take his tangent elsewhere.

@ossobuco,

I'll add -

I don't equate myself to being a new yorker who lived through that day and lived past that day.
I do have emotional connection to New York City. When I lived there for a short time in my childhood, it was one of the happy times for my family, which got fewer fairly quickly after that. I was a spoiled girl in a magical place, which I got to understand more fully later.

9/11 was the day I had my needle biopsy that would turn out to be positive. Early that morning, a couple of hours after I woke up to the news at the friend's house was visiting, I went to see my long time ob gyn because of my suspicious mammo and ultrasound of the day before. So, I was in double shock. He was a wreck himself, as it was at best midmorning and he had a old friend who was working in the towers. It was a memorable doctor's visit, as we were both vulnerable that day.

Together we decided I should see if I could get a biopsy right away at the bc center, as I lived in a small city far away and was only in town that week. Thus I spent the day trying to get my own procedure in a hospital that was freaking out, including just about everybody in it.

So, not all of us with a clear point of view of 'fine if they build' are emotionless about the planes into the towers or who did that. We don't equate who did that with the people who are going to build a place meant for communication.

I lived in Manhattan for a time, before moving across the bridge and then commuting from Brooklyn. I love that city. It would be good to see this issue fade.
