The wildly ironic aspect to this is that many of us find the actions being taken to deport people without due process as examples of how the USA is following the path of Germany in the 1930s. Fact- everything you wrote is going on. Right now. Right here. Fact.
Military, media, legal profession, academia- all taken over by extremists. Fact.

No other country deports illegals, the majority of whom are criminals or enemies of the country? Isn't wonderfull when illegals or visiting aliens visit the USA and tell how we should sit back and they will tell us what they can and can't do. Just open your wallets, your country, your laws and we will do what we want.

Folks, a reminder that religious debate is also off limits. Stop denigrating religions or regions of people here or you will get time outs.

No. Not like this. It’s to the extreme

I don't think you know that. It's extremely similar. I am no longer religious, because of what I saw and felt about how the catholic church treated women. Any orthodox religion will be equally as strict.

I see it very differently David.

First they came for college students protesting, then people that had tattoos, then green card holders with unpopular opinions- but I stayed silent……by the time they came for me there was no one to speak up.
That’s exactly where we are
Fact, as you like to say.
It’s scaring the shit out of a large percentage of us.

Yes exactly

First they came for us
Then they came for everyone else and there was no one left to help

And yes this should scare the shit out of all of us no matter who you are if you love our way of life and the freedom we have

Missy… we live in America. No one is “coming for us” …. Yet.
And if and when that happens here- they’ll be carrying a Rebel flag, not a Koran.

This is why I am not a fan of religion in general. My motto is do whatever you please as long as you don’t hurt others
I want to say more but can’t because of the rules.
Only one religion thinks everyone should belong to their religion and religious beliefs

David, they’ve already started. They’re here!
Infiltrated our universities and institutions of higher education
Infiltrated politics
And so much more

They’ve already begun. Plans in place for decades. They’re playing the long game

9/11 was a test run

Uh, they absolutely do. Catholics are encouraged to stay with abusive husbands all the time. Divorce is shameful and difficult for women in many religions.

That is a completely false statement. Catholics are not encouraged to stay with abusive husbands and divorce is not shameful. This type of innuendo adds nothing to the conversation.

We agree 100%. Just that we are in total disagreement on who and where the threat is.
How can antisemitism on a campus compare with danger posed by leaders of the military ( for example)?
Tattoo. 8 stars.
Google it.

 

[Rockdiamond]

Really no place here to debate religion. Please.

Because we are the canary in the coal mine
What starts with us never ends with us

And there are many threats at the moment. Not just one

Lol. Ok. Tell that to the many adult women who've been told that Please don't try to disqualify my own lived experience. Doesn't seem like you know much about catholocism or islam.

eta - sorry ella. Will stop posting religion-related topics.

If one thinks so little of this country to make this remark, why stay? I am digusted, to say the least.

I've been a Catholic all my life and, apparently, practicing which some aren't. There are so many Catholic members that are divorced and not shunned by anyone. Those who choose to remarry have. There is no comparison to Islam in which you seem to very well versed,

 

[Rockdiamond]

@Sunrises Sunsets - Missy and I are in agreement that anti semitism exists. White supremacy- KKK. They’ve not gone away. The confederate flag does seem to be associated with them
I find this particular threat very real.
I’m not afraid of Muslims here in the us. But I am afraid and concerned of homegrown extremism.

Ok we're closing this thread. I can't babysit all day for folks who can't understand that religion and politics cannot be debated here.
