    There may not even be a Democratic party at this rate to challenge Trump. It’s the Venezuela of political parties.

    Not much left of the GOP with Trump..... Trump is now the head of the party of "law and order" and "fiscal responsibility"....

    A particularly large and politically active group of conservative American Evangelical Christians, moreover, not only identify themselves with Jews thanks to a common scriptural legacy, but also place the State of Israel at the very center of their vision of global salvation. Indeed, many conservative Evangelicals believe that in consolidating their hold over a Greater Israel, the Jewish State is unwittingly setting the stage for the end of the world and the second coming of Jesus Christ. These conservative Evangelicals, who also don’t tend to be fond of Muslims, have become the single most important constituency in the Republican Party’s base, and that fact has more to do with the relatively recent GOP solidarity with a particularly aggressive strain of Zionism than all the AIPACs and all the Sheldon Adelsons you can name. And it would exist even if Jews were the poorest people on the planet.

    The younger liberals and the old school Democrats don't agree on this topic at all. It's refreshing to see someone with balls. Mentioning anything negative regarding Israel instantly means you hate Jews.

    I dont get offended often at all but I also try not to disparage language that offends people. Their perspective is different.

    There is an odd arrogance I am picking up from Ms. Omar that I don't care for -- is anyone else getting this vibe or am I misreading her?

    This type of logic is used in many contexts, largely by Dems.

    IMO you can be critical of things Israel does and also not be anti-Semitic.

    It is an arrogance that is remarkably common among outspoken leaders of the racially obsessed, SJW Democrat left.

    Definitely not. The right wing tribe definitely agrees with you in lock step.

    Yeah I have been reading up on this stuff and it's scary, that strain of the base also believes Trump is the messiah.

    Yikes!

    yes it is there kind of the arrogance of youth and being given a platform that you thought you would never have.

    Because usually if someone avoids doing something it's because they don't like it.
