Israel wants worldwide censorship of their critics
And they wonder why folks are critical of them... there's a name for this; it's called fascism. They've turned into the thing they profess to hate so much.

Fascist Values
The FACT that the governments of American allies are seriously debating measures to BAN Donald Trump from entering their countries should tell his American supporters just how out of touch his, and by extension their, values really are.
Resign? Really?
#RickSnyder shouldn't be asked to resign! He should be removed from office and prosecuted for #child #endangerment!

The Back Story
Don't ya just love stories and statements that start with:
I honestly do not have a problem at all with Jews. Some of my greatest spiritual teachers were Jews. I DO, however, have a problem with Zionism and anyone who is hawkish when it comes to jumping the gun on military action against anyone else based on nationalism or racism. And, frankly, a LOT of Christians fill that bill. I don't like them either.
As an aside, Christian Zionists actually baffle me. I get the whole forgiveness teaching. But Jews KILLED Christianity's Savior. And, as I understand it, they still have not accepted Jesus. Yet, these deluded "Christians" actually revere Israel! I think dumping them back into the middle east after WWII was one of the biggest mistakes mankind has ever committed.
With that being said, today's Bible Verse is:
I'm not prejudiced against xyz, but...Well, this is one of them.

Leviticus 20:22
22‘You shall therefore keep all My statutes and all My judgments, and perform them, that the land where I am bringing you to dwell may not vomit you out.
Guess what. They didn't keep God's statutes and judgments, and the land vomited them out.
They have a long collective history of believing that they are better than everyone else. And plopping them back into the middle of the Middle East was like burning your yard leaves right next to your car full of fireworks and dynamite.
I know this is not a very popular perspective. But it is what it is. Just sayin'...

Feeling the Bern yet?
I just have one question for Sanders supporters: how do you think he'll
get any of his revolutionary ideas, such as single payer health care and
reigning in banks, corporations, and Wall Street, past an insane
Congress who are, for the most part, bought and paid for? Seriously.

Reactionaries
When I think of the term reactionaries I think of the right. I am surrounded on all sides by Evangelical Christian Republicans. They are my neighbours, friends and family.
I even go to a little country church, half the congregation being blood relatives and the rest generational family friends. I have to regularly listen to their slamming of anything left of far right! I have to listen to it coming from the pulpit. I have to listen to it all without being able to even open a dialogue with them about any of it because they are so far gone. It would only serve to hurt my relationship with them.
And I don't consider myself Christian... at least, not their definition of Christian. And besides, it's the only place I can socialize with people who aren't drug addicts and alcoholics (and even those social pariahs are reactionary right!). My spirituality has little to do with my attending church services in my view. But I could never tell them that.
And there are locals who know I am somehow different but are not sure how so they invent horrible gosip to spread about me.
So, here I am - a radical leftist - attempting to carry on a life with some human interaction with people who would literally shun me if they knew my true political and spiritual leanings.
For years I have tried to find online groups with whom I could share ideas and support. And I have failed miserably at that endeavour. Primarily because I see no need for verbal confrontation among groups who are purportedly working toward the same goals. Debate? Yes. Confrontation? No.
I have come to realize that there is such a thing as the reactionary left. And they have no reservations about getting into a word dual over nothing in what I refer to as drive by. They find me, pick me, and attack me for absolutely no reason. They are simply mad and take it out on whoever is near.
I get enough of that from the fascist element on Twitter. There I am regularly called every hateful name one could think of. But when I am subjected to it in an alleged left political group... well, I feel no reason to stay. And I begin to understand why the left can't get off the ground, politically speaking.
They are just as confrontational, petty and hateful as anything I've seen come from the right.
So, I left the Communist Party USA, the Green Party, and the Socialist Party USA. Now, I am even forced to leave the Socialist Party USA Facebook Open Forum... all because people are so angry they attack their allies.
I have no one anywhere to speak freely about political or spiritual matters with. I belong no where. I feel alone, lonely, and sad. For both me and our species.

From the asses mouth: #DonaldTrump says wages are too high
.@BernieSanders-who blew his campaign when he gave Hillary a pass on her e-mail crime, said that I feel wages in America are too high. Lie!
