I'll give Omar one thing, she's pretty much knocked AOC off the front page

That sort of rhetoric seems to be common in some circles these days, but the dehumanizing stuff bothers me.  You can justify a lot of otherwise terrible actions if you tell yourself they aren't real people.  I don't want drag this too far afield, but people sometimes wonder how Govt sanctioned mass murder happens, well that is how it happens.  I am sure most who use that rhetoric aren't thinking anything as bad as that, but it bothers me anyway.

Totally agree with you on this point, the dehumanizing really bothers me.

You have it backwards. They hate us. They hate us so much, they have to dehumanize us in order to justify their murderous hate.

The hate came first, then the dehuminization.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

I don't think I was trying to say the hate came after.  It was the murder and death camps that come after.

I for one have no problem with her and AOC being the face of the democrat party.

The (D) party deserves both of them.

I don't see many people really wanting to de-escalate.

“42 percent of the people in each party view the opposition as ‘downright evil.’” A stunning 20 percent of Democrats and 16 percent of Republicans believe “we’d be better off as a country if large numbers of the opposing party in the public today just died.” And if the opposing party wins the 2020 election, 18 percent of Democrats and 13 percent of Republicans “feel violence would be justified.”

We hear quite a bit about “dehumanizing rhetoric” in American public life. Well, it appears that tens of millions of Americans now have dehumanizing beliefs. “One out of five Republicans and Democrats agree with the statement that their political adversaries ‘lack the traits to be considered fully human — they behave like animals.’”
In the moral, catatonic stupor America finds itself in today it is only disagreement we seek, and the more virulent that disagreement, the better.

It's too bad the 10th Amendment is dead.

People could live in the state with the political climate they like.... rather than forcing it on the whole country.

It's okay, Omar will say something anti-Semitic within the next week.  She can't help herself. 
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Long story short, according to this she's been holding closed to the press and public fundraisers with groups with known ties to terrorism

So she admits there's an emergency on the border?  Great. 

I knew that Omar and Trump could find common ground.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) once again landed in hot water after past remarks at a CAIR fundraiser last month showed her downplaying the 9/11 terror attacks. She referred to the 9/11 attacks as an event where “some people did something.”

Lets just say the NY Post decided to respond

The above was supposed to be a response to the below, but I quoted the wrong post. Can't fix it anymore.
