@abughazalehkat C’mon Kat, you’re better than this. Hatred of Jews is legendarily ancient, clearly expressed within Hamas’ charter, and so we don’t need to get into claims of racism here or extrapolate into other points. He’s correct on this statement.

@WalshFreedom The Party is already dead and the new thing is already here: Authoritarianism. And millions and millions of Americans think they want it. What’s going to be new beyond that? Either greater democracy, or even more strict Authoritarianism. It’s our choice. Right now.

@WalshFreedom Just read the entire Constitution again. Every word. No mention of the word God. Even once. Further, the FIRST Amendment’s FIRST words are “The Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.” So those are pretty good clues on their intentions.
