These Democrats joined Republicans in pushing the racist position that every Chinese-American is an agent of the Chinese government.

Yes. But also that is a choice.

06.12.2025 02:46 — 👍 4 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0If you take the NT as the only source documents AND assume that it doesn’t function like any other historical document then you MIGHT be right.
If we take the NT as A set of documents and also consider the plethora of other documents and non-written sources and analyze historically then I’m right.
Than they do about actual Jews. The Jews of the NT are largely written as foils for Jesus or Christian ideas.
06.12.2025 00:42 — 👍 3 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0This is the “no true Scotsman” fallacy. But that aside, you did not read or did not understand the rest.
The NT does not depict Jews as they were in 1-30 AD, but only as Christians of 60+ AD and beyond considered them to be. The NT tells us more about Christians and their beliefs about Jews…
that you grew up with is a literary device. Yet, Christians have ascribed to real people the qualities of that literary device rather than actually learn from the people themselves. And this has resulted in MILLIONS of Jewish deaths at the hands of Christians.
06.12.2025 00:06 — 👍 5 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Hi. I’m a Christian. And yet I can also recognize that the depiction of Jews in the NT is shaped not by who Jews or Pharisees were but by how Christians decades or centuries later believed/wanted/needed them to be for their own literary and religious purposes.
So the version of who Jews are

It’s a modern retelling.
When people said, “As bad as Taney,” I should have known Roberts would take that as a challenge to become superlative in his field.

Unfortunately his wife’s schedule is very busy so he couldn’t swear Rep Grijalva because he’d have to be in a room in a woman without his wife and that violated his high ethical standards.

The only protection is playing “Killing in the Name” while wearing a frog suit and reading Itty Bitty Kittycorn.
If so, it is quite possible that the suspect reached this belief by consuming media produced by the current Director and Deputy Director of the FBI.

I guess people frame things in a binary left-moderate sense but there is, as you suggested, a lot more.
I should say I don’t think I’ve recommended his stuff since I was in my twenties and significantly more conservative. I read them back then and who knows what crap they legitimated in my mind.
