Jews leaving France in record numbers

[Kidlicious]

BE, I live in the Florida Panhandle right now. You cannot even get any deeper South than I am; if you try, you wind up in the Yankee-transplant sector, then Disneyworld, then the Miami/Greater Cuba complex. I am in, as my wife calls it, Lower Alabama. My anecdotal experience says that people here are no dumber or more biased than they were in Maryland, within an hour's driving distance of the capital.

C0ckney, I've encountered Dinner saying blatantly racist things before ("Dirty Persian whore at work wants me in her hairy Persian snatch," etc.). But I think the larger phenomenon at work here is more helpfully compared to what we used to do to Catholic immigrants. I don't think anyone back then thought that, if baby Seamus or Maria were abducted and raised as a WASP, s/he would grow up with an irrepressible urge to genuflect at anyone who spoke Latin and hated America. Possibly they believed that Seamus/Maria would be a cretin due to a suspect phrenological profile, but I think the pseudoscientific racism and patriotic anti-Catholicism were largely separate issues.

In both cases--then and now--the dislike was based on first a general ignorance of what the religion typically entails, second on a longstanding animosity towards it for political reasons, and third on a near-comical tendency to overestimate religion's effect on the individual believer. Which is how people seriously and with a straight face believed that John "I would dry-hump that Georgia O'Keefe painting if my bad back let me" Kennedy would be taking orders from the Vatican.

Kennedy was a totally different deal. It's a bigger problem to have a person like Obama in the WH than it was to have a Catholic in the WH. Kennedy clearly believed in the goodness of America.

To fully portray yourself as the fool that we all consider you, could you please, once more, elaborate the negatives when you say, "a person like Obama". What negative traits are you referring too?

I don't bother with you rah.

[rah]

Because you get your ass kicked almost every time you do.

[rah]

What is a person like Obama? What fantasies are you encouraging today?

[Kidlicious]

Obama is clearly a horrible president. People like you should be ashamed, but you're too stupid to be ashamed.

[rah]

I just wanted to hear your "CLEARLY" reasons.
For the record, I also believe that he hasn't been a good president. But it's impossible for you to know that he doesn't believe in the goodness of America. Is that the basis for your hatred?

[Kidlicious]

You're too stupid to know that you're too stupid.

[rah]

I guess that means that yet again, you have nothing. It's too easy.

It means that you are too stupid to understand how stupid it is to tell someone to prove that Obama hates America.

[rah]

Then stop implying that he does hate America.

[Kidlicious]

Then stop implying that he does hate America.

Why?

[rah]

Because it's a baseless accusation maybe.

But then that seems to be your only expertise.

It's not baseless at all. The problem is that you don't understand how logic works.

[rah]

Again you have nothing. What do you base it on? It seems like a clear question.
