Conservatives Outraged!

On the list. Watched "Palm Springs" earlier. Enjoyable movie. Watching "Nomadland" now. It's like a fictionalized documentary. Slow, but interesting and beautifully shot.

I recorded the Golden Globes and watched, about an hour later, after Andra Day won. We'll watch "The United States vs. Billie Holiday" tomorrow.

LOL if I were your dad I'd have to limit your screen time.

You should probably get out more if your not aware of modern anti-semitism. As for people being critical of Israel, I went to college about 15 minutes drive from where famed martyr Rachel Corrie went to school. Obviously, she suffered death for her protest, but there was always a pretty large pro-Palestine/anti-Israel presence on campus and in the general area of Western WA.

It may interest you to know that I am pro-Palistinian anti-The State of Israel. Not to be confused with being anti Semitic I appreciate your civil manner, but very difficult for me to get out more than I already do.

Sometimes being anti-state of Israel is construed to be anti Semitic, especially around college environments where many of the protesters are themselves Jewish. They don’t hate Jews, they hate the State of Israel, no differently than one hate the State of America, but not its people.

I am Jewish and I completely oppose Israel's occupation of the West Bank, Gaza, and the Golan.

It is definitely not anti-Semitic to oppose Israel's policies of segregation and Apartheid.

Israel does not need any of those territories for its own border security...the only Israelis living there are the ultra-religious welfare queens who don't work, don't serve in the IDF, and instigate Palestinians.

The next time someone confuses my belief on Israel with being antisemetic, I’m going to give them your phone number..

Thank you brother.

As a side bar; I always wondered just what the hell are Conservatives "conserving" anyway? Because in my lifetime it sure as hell hasn't been people's jobs, their money or Smokey the Bear's backyard!

Well, William F. Buckley gave the game away back in 1955 when he said "Conservatism stands athwart history, yelling STOP!"

He said that a year after Brown v. Board of Education and the start of the Civil Rights Movement.

So I think they want to "conserve" white supremacy.

I'm old enough to have remembered watching that preposterous figure get his pseudo-intellectual ass handed to him by the likes of Noam Chomsky, James Baldwin and Gore Vidal. Classic!

Ranks right up there with Phyllis Schlafly's husband humiliating her on live TV, and when Jon Stewart murdered Tucker Carlson on his own show.

Conservatives attempt to conserve what was once the status quo; feudalism. monarchy, prince and pauper, haves and have nots.
This is why they hate progressives and especially social democrats who at least want a level playing field.
