    Rand Paul is a pretend libertarian and a grand-standing phony.

    No wonder his neighbor beat him up.

    Rand Paul is all of that, but, no, he did not deserve being assaulted.

    No, your definition is called nonsense, wheres those who support the Palestinians are indeed tribalists.

    A little joke. Unlike Bonespurs J. Thimblebrain, who's a huge joke.

    "Zimbabwean" is neither a religion nor an ethnicity whose people have been repressed for 2,500 years and finally have a homeland again.

    House Has A Message For Ilhan Omar About Her Anti-Semitic Remarks, And She’s Not Going To Like It

    The House has opted to send a message to Rep. Ilhan Omar and her obviously anti-Semitic remarks posted on her social media profiles, passing language condemning anti-Semitism which was added to another resolution by a vote of 424-0.

    Yeah, that’s the Congressional version of a spanking right there. Ouch.

    https://politicalcowboy.com/house-h...emitic-remarks-and-shes-not-going-to-like-it/

    So 424 elected representatives thought her remarks were anti-Semitic. It's extremely rare to find such unanimity in Congress on anything.

    You can be all sound and fury that signify nothing. You are tribal in your defense of the Arabs.

    Here is another perspective on the matter. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/51134.htm

    The woman was right that AIPAC's huge influence in Congress is all about the Benjamins.

    He supports most of what I’m for. He’s better than Chuckie Schumer.

    unfortunately, it's low class.

    If money could buy politicians, Soros would be president.

    He says what you stand for, pretending to believe it. Paul pretending that he's not going to make a party-line vote is very poor theater.

    It turns out that money CAN buy politicians, and our bought SCOTUS declared so in a decision known as Citizens United, and others.

    Not at all. I could get behind a homeland for Egypt's Coptic Christians, a homeland for Iran's Zoroastrians, and a homeland for Turkey's Kurds without affecting my support of Israel in any way.

    Most Americans want politicians to be all in for America. It would be a stretch to put her in that category.

    It looks like Islam attracts women who can hide in a tent.

    I really don't know why Citizens United bugs you so much. Money talks, we all know that. And that being the case, that means combined with the 1st Amendment freedom of speech that you can't limit money. Personally, I would do away with the $2,500 campaign contribution limit, too, and I would make all campaign contributions under that amount anonymous. Ideally, candidates and campaign donations should be "black boxes" to each other, neither knowing the other, to ensure completely neutral dealing. Candidates should not know who contributes to his/her campaign or how much. Campaign contributors should know that their donations are going to be completely anonymous to the candidate, so they won't be able to buy any influence. After that, conversations would go like this: "Senator, I'm Joe Richdouche, I gave a million dollars to your campaign." "Get in line, half a dozen other people have told me the same thing this week alone."

    What happens in the US regarding Israel is just a shame and makes the US a hypocritical clown.

    Yes, Israel was and still may be under constant threat, and I say that Israel already has a right to exist ... but sorry ... what does Israel do about it and where does the US allow Israel and / or both eyes? and thus giving Israel the WIldcard to do what it wants is just shameful!

    We're talking about things that the US would not allow anyone else in the world, unless they have a wildcard from Washington as well.
    We're talking about clear crimes Israel commits almost weekly and that violate a lot of international treaties and international law ... but that's an egel, because it's Israel and they are allowed to. That's the attitude of Washington and everybody who does that he does not like, he is directly anti-Semitic and hates Jews! Just ridiculous!

    Lots of Benjamins spent on zionist cultural programming to keep minds and mouths shut.


    She doesn't seem so keen on a minority segment of US society, that's true.

    But hey, since when have racist dicks not fought their turd encrusted corner?

    May the best female Muslim win.
