a.d._510_n_ok Posted December 31, 2024 Report Share Posted December 31, 2024 I was in elementary school when Carter ran for re-election in 1980. EVERYONE knew he was gonna landslide into a 2nd term. Brother, women were flat bawling when Reagan beat him. If you've never seen the footage of Reagan getting sworn in looking like the movie star he was you should, especially when he tells the crowd the hostages had just left Iranian air space. That, for me, is the day the 1980s truly began. Carter was a decent man (even with last in his heart) but Reagan was bigger and bolder than real life on day one. Nevermind he walked into the hospital after getting shot and then told the doctors and nurses, "I hope you're all Republicans!". 4 Quote Link to comment

Yeah go fuck yourself Brady, I would lay a pipe bomb at your grave if I was able to get away with it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Suicide bombers all kinds of shit. Oct. 7th is not unique except maybe for you. So the largest number of Jews killed (1200+) in an event since the Holocaust is not significant to you? Sometimes your reasoning is just so mindless it baffles me. 3 1 Quote Link to comment

Jews do not thrive in a religiously plural society because they believe theologically that they are better than everyone else. The Torah literally says that the life of a non-jew is worth considerably less. Do all of them actively practice that? Probably not but it is a risk to social cohesion. There are times where I do think the Roman Empire was not out of line with their destruction of Jerusalem Every time I get lectured by a Jew about my religion being somehow not "progressive" enough or "wrong" or they are the correct chosen people, it kinda pisses me off and makes me feel as if they truly, truly think they're better than everyone else.

Sometimes your reasoning is just so mindless it baffles me. Don't forget the fact that Muslims generally speaking are Holocaust deniers and that's because they were complicit with the actions of the third Reich. Look up the grand mufti of Jerusalem. He was the main reason why Hitler and his crew decided to kill the Jews instead of exiling them. He basically said that even if you kick them off to somewhere far away they would eventually end up returning to my land and becoming my problem. The dude was a prototypical Nazi in all but name.

Reagan always said, "I didn't leave the democrat party, it left me". He wasn't kidding. He was as liberal in 1985 as he was in 1955 but the Republicans had moved sufficiently to the left that he not only felt comfortable there but dominated the party and has since become the ideal "conservative" in boomer eyes. 1 Quote Link to comment
Xiao_Hu Posted December 31, 2024 Report Share Posted December 31, 2024 Hey at least you freaking get it now. That's where I come from. People ask me all the time if I'm some sort of crazy socialist but it's just much more nuanced than that. I am a true traditional conservative in the Eastern sense. I believe that societies have a right to preserve their cultural values and ideals and to decide who gets to stay there or not. I also believe by that token that progressivism is misguided and encourages end justifies the means thinking. But as a result of my conservatism I will denounce anyone and everyone that violates my principles. I am a political idealist in the strongest sense. If you want to understand what I am it's basically a mixture of Li Guang Yao (first president of Singapore), Catholic social doctrine, combined with a bit of good old-fashioned American revolutionaryism.

I said being attacked without warning, killing women and children since they became their own country in 1948 was not unique. And it isn't. "Israeli statistics state that 3,500 Israelis have been killed as a result of Palestinian political violence since the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948." Between 1948 and 1998 over 20,000 Israeli soldiers killed in combat. Quote Link to comment

Rustbin Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 The US largest amount of imported oil comes from Canada, Greenland has the largest amount of rare earth metals rivaling China and the Panama canal is crucial to shipping, which is Trumps motivation. IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY, just had to clarify that. 1 Quote Link to comment
Xiao_Hu Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 I think it's really weird that people think that being against Zionism is somehow anti-Semitic. There's a reason even terrorists know to clarify it: But he seems unable to tell the difference between juice and Jews. (For those who have to put on their reading glasses, he says Death to all (Zionist) Juice in the photo) Quote Link to comment
john510 Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 Zionism is such an exaggerated and overused word. If you believe the Jews have a right to exist you're a Zionist. Dumb. 2 Quote Link to comment
Xiao_Hu Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 Zionism is the idea that Jews have have an exclusive right to the Levant. That's the actual definition. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 Exclusive god given right might be closer. Guaranteed to be conscientious if one group moves onto your land and tells you that their god says to do this. Quote Link to comment
difrangia Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 Here we go; great way to start a year ?? Read the comments. More info than one will get from mainstream media. https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2025/01/01/12-dead-dozens-injured-as-truck-runs-through-crowd-in-new-orleans-bourbon-street/#more-267768 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 I don't see more info than the 'mainstream media'. What have the comments got to do with the actual event unless the commentators were actually there and involved? It's just their opinion. Quote Link to comment

Between 1948 and 1998 over 20,000 Israeli soldiers killed in combat. Not being a dick at all, so thanks for the name calling. You said it was "not unique". I think if 3500 have been killed over almost 80 years, and now an incident with one-third that many occurs, that is significant. You didn't use exactly that word, but you did downplay it. I stand by my assessment. Happy New Year. 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 Again I didn't say that you were a dick, I said don't BE a dick. I down played nothing I was commenting on uniqueness not numbers. If you want to talk numbers then 1,200 is a lot, and at one event but the method (attack without warning) and circumstances (men, women, children and hostaghes) were the same as the last 78? years of killing. 1 Quote Link to comment

Just a couple of small examples are the enlarged pic of the back of the Ford Pickup with bullet holes in back glass, Texas tag, and trailer hitch mast with obscured flag (or something being circled. Tag number run through the lookup ,com with on result (already scrubbed). Statement that it is a Ford F150 Lightning which is their electric truck, I think. For me, putting the official news releases and alternate news releases with info cultivation by common citizens (generally per comment sections) together to try to get a mental handle on an incident in order to factor in with everything else going on currently is, I suppose, a sort of game or exercise for me. I don't gamble or play games so that kinda fulfils that part of my psyche. One can always count on a sizeable amount of information to be restricted by investigating LE, you know, the 'Ongoing Investigation' comments that go with any story. So, many times it's a game for me to look for info that may not be available. 'Destruction' here on Ratsun is basically a comment thread and a sort of little family circle.
