Trumps newest response to the hacking is "I committed Treason, but Obama didn't stop me, so he's even more responsible." Like a good propaganda outlet, McCoy is following the line.

It reminds me of when that tremendous shithead Watters on Fox News did some report right after the Manchester bombing and showed a clip of Ariana Grande at the charity show saying "We should embrace love and each other and not hurt each other" or something of that nature.

Watters has a smug grin and goes "Heh, well, interesting tactic....see how well that turns out"

Conservatives literally hate peace and love.

Fred Clark's 'Cursed are the Peacemakers' posted:

Our first real glimpse of Nicolae Carpathia comes through the eyes of Chaim Rosenzweig, who is rather impressed with him:

quote:
�I found him most charming and humble. � Impressive, that�s all I can say. � He knew my language as well as his own. And he speaks fluent English. Several others also, they tell me. Well educated but also widely self taught. And I just like him as a person. Very bright. Very honest. Very open. � a man of high ideals.�
All of this sounds laudable and is meant to be interpreted favorably. But Rosenzweig also says the Magic Words regarding Carpathia � the words that indicate to every premillennial dispensationalist �prophecy� buff that this man is clearly the Antichrist:

quote:
�� a peacemaker and leading a movement toward disarmament. � I believe his goal is global disarmament.�
That word � �peacemaker� � practically screams Antichrist. For LaHaye and Jenkins� intended readers, it wouldn�t be any clearer if Carpathia had the number �666� tattooed on his forehead and went by the nickname �Horny Beast.�

They hate it because of rapture freaks claiming the Antichrist will claim to bring peace.

Shockingly, it turns out that Biblical literalists are quite selective in which pieces of scripture they take literally.

It was 'blessed are the pacemakers', which is fair; they don't use their hearts for much so they may as well fit some blessings in there.

Garrison posted:

The Democratic Party is in decline. They have no real leaders on the horizon and those running the show are hopelessly corrupt. The Clintons are criminals. Nancy Pelosi is losing her mind. Joe Biden is a laughable pervert. Podesta practices Satanism. Bernie Sanders isn’t a ‘progressive.’ Stop calling him that. He’s nothing more than a communist who pocketed donations from the common man. Bernie knew he had no chance against the DNC machine. Despite the rigging and abuse he faced, he endorsed his abuser. Perez, the new DNC chairman is a ‘nut job.’ Maxine Waters is a raving lunatic.
The sycophant mainstream media supporting the Democrats continue to double down on the ‘Russia’ narrative nonsense even though it has been proven over and over to be fake news. Some of them have now been caught admitting that. Hollywood and their ilk can do little to regain relevance other than to call for resistance against President Trump. Some even call for assassination outright.

The Democrats have become defacto Socialists who want open borders and globalism. The LGBQT+ crowd keeps adding on letters and that’s all about shutting down free speech and destroying the family—and even reality. Their behavior is exactly what the communist globalists want. Call someone who considers themselves ‘intersexual’ a male or female? Then you’re a hater or a whatever-phobe and some will demand that you pay a large fine or be locked up because feelings were hurt.

The Neo Cons in the Republican Party are on the same page as the Democrats. Until Trump came along, there was really only one giant globalist party running the show, but now they’re on the rocks, thanks to Wikileaks and truth tellers on the Internet.

How can the Rudderless Democrats right their ship? For one thing, they can take down the dirty sail that is Obama. He did his best to destroy America. Start repudiating the fools who spout lies and nonsense. Throw the Clintons overboard or even better—lock them up. But mostly, they need to do what Trump is doing: Put America first. Don’t hold your breath on that ever happening.

No, the Sermon on the Mount only applies to a future "dispensation," when Christ comes back and rules the world after defeating the Antichrist and Satan. Until then, we're in our own dispensation, where talk of peace is just a distraction by the Antichrist to dupe us all, so we must remain on guard and heavily armed against ~~Jews~~ International Financiers and One World Governments.

I'm a Protestant, and I do think it's a good thing that people can make their own choices about what to believe, but sometimes I wish we had a magisterium to declare certain people heretics.

Joe McCarthy was suspicious of Russia, so therefore anyone who is suspicious of Russia is the same as McCarthy.

Side note, do conservatives still think of McCarthy as a wrongly slandered martyr? I know Ann Coulter pushed that message, and it seemed like rehabilitating him was a big thing for a while, but I think it's died down.

Electric Phantasm posted:

This annoys the hell out of me. If you fire the people who are responsible, then that shows you take it seriously. There will always be bad or irresponsible people in any organization, but it doesn't corrupt the whole thing unless the organization covers up for them. A hypothetical example would be if a party nominated a president who abused his power and had tons of shady connections, yet that party refused to investigate or even allow other people to investigate.

I think it'd be confusing to push both that and the "Russia is good actually" narrative at the same time.

Because O'Keefe of ACORN/pimp fame also put out a hidden video of a producer at CNN saying they have no evidence of collusion so far but continue to cover it anyways.

The producer works on health stories, fyi.
