Jews might want to read the fine print on a "friendship" agreement with right wing evangelicals. Their loony-tunes blueprint for the "end times", is for Israel to keep the landing strip warm and well lit for Jesus' return. When he comes back, there will be a "rapture" to pick up all the righteous true believers and take them into heaven, with white SUVs, armed with easy-rider rifle racks and Dixie bumper stickers. The plan for the Jews, is that if they don't convert they get to ride to hell in very old Yugos.

I am speaking from personal experience. Why else would working people vote against their own self interest? I retired to South Carolina. Many, many of the blue collar working people that I have met fall into one these categories. I remember when the South switched from the Democratic Party to the Republican Party. Don't you find it strange that this shift coincided exactly with Civil Rights movement? It is also true in the North. Having originally come from New York City, I was amazed at how many bigots live there. I stand by my observations. I have not taken a scientific survey, nor do I know of one dealing with this matter.

Here's the issue! A highly funded and well organized group of evangelicals are now taking groups of young people to Israel to show them the "suffering Palestinians." These young people are being told that the suffering of the Palestinians is Israel's fault. WRONG!

It's true the Palestinian's are suffering and have been suffering since 1948 because of Arab leadership. On May 15, 1948, Israel became a State. The next day, five Arab armies attacked the Jews in an effort to kill the State of Israel in the birth canal. Arab leaders told the Arabs living in the war zone to leave the area and as soon as the Jews were defeated, they could return to their homes and live in a Jew-free environment. Miraculously, the Israelis won that war.

Now you have 600,000 Arabs living without homes at the instruction of Arab leaders. These 600,000 suffering Arabs became known as "Palestinian Refugees." They instantly became a propaganda weapon in the media war against Israel. The accusation was that "Israel was the blame." WRONG! Arab leaders caused this situation; not Israel.

Fast forward to the Bill Clinton Administration when President Clinton met at Camp David with Yassar Arafat, the self-proclaimed "sole representative of the Palestinian people" and Prime Minister Barak of Israel. At Camp David, Israel offered Yassar Arafat everything he had asked to achieve a peace agreement. Yassar Arafat instantly said, "NO!" Why? Because the Palestinians have a charter calling for the destruction of Israel and the death of all Jews.

It is true the Palestinians have suffered for 60 years; the source of their suffering has been the abuse of Arabs who have used them as a pawn for their own personal and political objectives.

The objective of these newly formed evangelicals called "millennialists" taking young people to Israel and showing them "the suffering Palestinians" is to neutralize their affection and support of Israel. They are quick to say, "We support Israel but look at the suffering Palestinians!" The question is, "How can you love and support Israel and blame Israel for 60 years of suffering by the Palestinians caused by Arab leadership?" When you don't know the history of the problem, it's easy to reach a false conclusion.

Be certain that the Word of God has given the land to the Jewish people forever. They have the right to defend themselves from all enemies that attack them. They have the right to secure borders just like any other democracy. "I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you" Genesis 12:3.

Your hypothesis is intellectually inadequate, and condescending.

Those individuals who are classified as "blue collar" are no more likely to mirror their parent's political beliefs than are "white collar" or those following "professional" careers.

The vast majority of all the citizens of the U.S. are at least thirty years beyond prejudice based on race, although Obama is doing everything he can to reassert it as a consideration.

The only "minority" problem conservatives have is based on those who have an illegal status, i.e., those who have illegally entered our country, and reside here illegally. It is not the amount of pigment in their skin.

There is no reason for anyone in the U.S. to be unaware that progressives/modern democrats/liberals/ wish to disarm all citizens, in violation of the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution. There are hundreds of such laws in municipalities, cities, states, and the federal government; all violate the Constitution, and new ones are constantly being proposed.

The taxpayer's money is all being wasted. The middle class are poorer, the poor are poorer, the minorities are poorer, the wealthy have so many regulations in their face they are unable to develop a comprehensive five-year plan, or even a two-year plan, enabling them to hire new employees.

Conservatives have enough common sense to recognize a lie when they hear it.

Those who are said to speak for the conservatives, the right, the Republicans; men such as Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levine, Michael Savage, Glenn Beck, and women like Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham and Dana Loesch do not brainwash anyone.

Conservatives listen to them only when they reflect the beliefs that those conservatives have already determined to be true in their own minds.

When they do not reflect those beliefs, they are tuned out.

It is the left who march in lockstep with never an original thought.

They speak forth "talking points," originating from their "handlers," and possess the aura of the "walking dead."

If you are here looking for the truth You are not likely to find it.

If you are looking for open minds there are some here but good luck & let me know if you find some one who don't agree with you who has an open mind.

If you wish to find out how to fix this countries problems you will find that there is no agreement as to what the problems are or agreement on what to do about them.

We have all lived in the every day world & see things different.

Our life's have been alike in more ways that they differ.

There are many here that feel things are not going well but refuse to see just where the problems are coming from.

They cling to hopes that have died & feel that what is happening will change for the better if we only had more of what they have been lead to believe is the best way.

OPP is infested with several varieties of right wing extremism--some more subtle than this sicko. How extreme and sick the whole right wing extremism OPP club is becomes demonstrated by the percent of sicko fellow travelers in their club. I keep telling them that if they want to have any credibility they need to distance themselves from the more obviously sick like the poster here and from the more stupid conspiracy fantasy story lines but I guess the club leaders realize if they did that they would be a very small club indeed.
