    He was wrong. Canadians only "live longer" than Americans because of the difference in demographics, i.e., they have fewer blacks and Hispanics, who live longer in America than anywhere else but still fall far short of Caucasian and Asian longevity. The longest lived ethnic group on the planet are Japanese women... in the United States.

    At least it would debunk the lie that Social Security isn't a welfare program. If SS wasn't price limited at the taxation level and, better still, was means tested at the recipient level, we could stop calling it an entitlement program and start calling it a welfare program.

    The Republicans prefer raising the retirement age, which would also work. When SS was passed, nine out of ten people were DEAD by age 65. There were sixteen people working for every person receiving SS. Now nine out of ten people are still alive at age 65, with just 2.5 people working for every person receiving SS. Far too many people think of SS as a retirement program rather than a welfare for the elderly poor program. To put SS back on a sustainable basis, the retirement age needs to be raised to 70 or perhaps even 75. Even at 75, 50% of the population is still alive. If you wanted to go back to the situation when SS started, you'd have to raise the retirement age to 85.

    What I think should happen with Social security is a voucher system if I put away a certain amount of money into a retirement fund then I don't pay a dime into Social security. But that would affect a lot of people that vote for Democrats so you can't do that.

    I will forever be mooched off of until there's nothing left.

    Yeah, you're better off trying to provide for your own retirement, or better still, get rich yourself. I haven't worked in so long, I don't even know if I'll be eligible for SS.

    You've been drinking the leftist Flavor-Aid again. (We really should be accurate in this analogy since Jim Jones used grape Flavor-Aid in his mass suicide, not Kool-Aid.) Here is Trump condemning white nationalists and distancing himself from them:

    https://www.aol.com/video/channel/news/583501831c689924455179b4/

    Here's Trump talking about the KKK:

    ""Racism is evil," said Trump, two days after a driver rammed a car into a crowd of people in the midst of violent clashes over a white nationalist rally in the city. "And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the [Ku Klux Klan], neo-Nazis, white supremacists and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans.""

    I understand why someone like Omar won't condemn communism or Al Qaeda, her sympathies are obvious as is her hatred for us, the Jewish People and her complete disdain for our laws.

    YOU CANNOT LEGITIMATELY CRITICIZE A PERSON FOR REFUSING TO CONDEMN YOUR CHOSEN MEANIE ON THE GROUNDS THAT IT WOULD LEND YOUR OBJECTIONS LEGITIMACY. You're saying you "know" she's a communist because she didn't mention communism. So Trump is a traitor and a thug because he didn't mention either of them. There. How's that?

    Next: anti-semitism. Omar never mentioned Jews. So again, you're saying you know she's an anti-semite because she objected to the politics of a nation that happens to be comprised mostly of Jews.

    When she objects to the politics of a nation comprised mostly of Muslims, then we'll forgive her. My advice: Don't hold your breath.

    Omar is critical of Saudi Arabia, a nation comprised mostly of Muslims. Do your research.

    Well, xw, you can forgive her now. You said you would so I'll watch your posts to see if you're a hypocrite.

    Okay, I forgive her for her criticisms of Israel since she has criticized Saudi Arabia. But most of her quotes are rather squishy at best, like she condemned al Qaeda in one statement and in another complained that Americans say "al Qaeda" like it's a bad thing. She has defended the hijab as a symbol of "empowerment" when throughout the Middle East, it's a sign of female oppression. Generally speaking, those who are critical of Israel are unrepentant anti-Semites, a strange view to hold if you don't want Jews living in your own country. I'm guessing the Muslims were a lot happier when the Jews were oppressed minorities living in Muslim countries than they are with Jews living as a free people in a Jewish state.

    Over generalization.

    Are anti Muslims just as bad as anti Semites or do you give weight to one over the other??


    Say who? You? There are millions of Muslims living in the US. Do they bother Jews that are living here? Synagogues and Mosques here are attacked by white extremists.

    Generally speaking (as generalizations tend to do), anti-Muslims have a good reason to oppose Muslims while anti-Semites don't have a good reason to oppose Jews. Muslims are at war with the non-Muslim world, especially Israel and the West, but also including the Hindu world, the Buddhist world, etc. Jews are not.

    And white extremists are as bad as Muslims when they engage in terrorist attacks. And yes, Muslims living in the US bother Jews that are living here.

    "For all the left's howls about 'Islamophobia' and its supposed 'endangering' of Muslims, the real issue is anti-Semitism and the terror attacks now surging from it. Three Islam-motivated massacres on synagogues — in Ohio, Montana, and Georgia — were all thwarted in just the last five months, with very little press coverage about how close the terrorists came.

    Frontline's Daniel Greenfield has a disturbing piece on the incidents, as well news of a surge of crazed Jew-hating rhetoric from Muslim leaders that has risen in assorted mosques around the country, which may be fueling it. He writes:

    All three Muslim terrorists were ISIS supporters. They were the same age and scattered around the country, from Montana to Georgia to Ohio. They origins lay in different cultures and parts of the world.

    And yet their terror plots all targeted Jews.

    What was it that created this cluster of three Islamic terror plots against synagogues?

    No specifics are given in the complaints. Even the names of the synagogues remain anonymous. The phenomenon was not noted by any media outlet. The same outlets that eagerly publish statistical compilations of attacks on Muslims, real or imaginary, once again turned a blind eye to this cluster.

    He thinks it's connected to the surge in Jew-hating rhetoric and actual calls for violence against Jews suddenly coming out of mosques throughout the country:

    Last year, there was a similar cluster, not of attack plots, but of incitement to violence.

    In December 2017, an Imam in New Jersey had been caught preaching of the Jews, "Count them one by one, and kill them down to the very last one. Do not leave a single one on the face of the Earth."

    In February 2018, an Imam in Texas had urged fighting the Jews and a Syrian refugee Imam in North Carolina had recited a hadith calling for the extermination of the Jews, "We will fight those Jews until the rocks and the trees will speak: 'Oh Muslim, this is a Jew behind me.'"

    The geographic diversity of these calls to violence in mosques from New Jersey to North Carolina to Texas, echoed the diversity of the latest Islamic terror plots in Montana, Georgia and Ohio. There is no particular reason to think that the three terrorists were influenced by imams from other states. What these numbers reveal is the incredible scope and range of Islamic anti-Semitism and violence in America."
    https://www.americanthinker.com/blo...ic_terror_attacks_on_synagogues_thwarted.html

    Anti-Semitic hatred among imams is rampant, even in the US:

    "Over the past six months, at least five prominent US imams have been caught on tape preaching violence against Jews in sermons at mosques across America.

    Yet these radical preachers inciting anti-Semitic violence aren’t prosecuted or even permanently banished by the leadership of their mosques."

    Are all Muslims at war with Jews? How do you feel about Israel's policy of building settlement in occupied territories, specifically in the Golan Heights. Israel's hand ain't clean, yet you defend it.[/QUOTE]


    Cite some examples.


    Can't be massacres if NOTHING happened. And perhaps it there weren't any press coverage because maybe it isn't true.

    I don't defend anything except Israel's right to exist. I lost whatever sympathy I had for the Palestinians after the revelation that the millions of dollars and thousands of pounds of concrete sent to the Palestinians were used to build "terror tunnels" into Israel instead of housing for their people. **** 'em all now, I don't give a ****. Israel can do what it wants in its efforts to defend itself.

    I cited several. You're obviously ignoring them. If you want further proof, look at Europe which has far more millions of Muslims than we have, and Jews there are living in greater terror than at any time since WWII.

    She gets a pass on her anti Semitic comments because she spoke negatively about the Saudi’s

    Then why don’t Trump get a pass?
    He offends everyone.

    Trump dared to do something no one else has: defy political correctness. Therefore he must be sacrificed on the cross of liberal outrage. Nothing he can do (put more blacks & Hispanics to work than ever before, reach a deal with North Korea, not go to war with Iran) will fix that. Any lie, any exaggeration, any redefinition of what he actually said into something else, is acceptable to the keepers of moral outrage to destroy the monster who dared say not all Mexicans are welcome here.

    She is asked if she is a communists and a supporter of Al Qaida. That's not the same as being asked to condemn what communism and Al Qaida have done. Your title is a fraud. And you obviously do not understand the English language.

    All she does is to not respond to those low personal attacks founded on insanity.

    I love the threads where it's obvious the right wingers are dumbly misinterpreting words and acting like English is their 2nd language after Russian.
