Strange Priorities

 So, Dan's got his panties in a wad about this "Board of Peace" and is convinced that it will be more corrupt then the ONGs in MN and the MN state government.  Which would be quite a feat.  

Strangely enough, I don't recall him getting nearly this panty wadded when the Clintons ad their cronies fleeced billions, and left Haiti worse than when they came.   

 FWIW, I don't see much difference in principle between this and how the US dealt with Germany, Italy, and Japan after WW2.   We spend vast sums of money to rebuild the countries of the aggressors as well as their economies as well as offered them US military protection.  

But somehow this plan to rebuild Gaza for the aggressor is the most corrupt, evil, plan ever.  

Honestly, I'm ambivalent at best about the whole thing.  The likely outcome is millions of dollars given to a terrorist organization who will spend most of it on preparations to destroy Israel.   

We've god 10's of millions in fraud in MN alone, GA acknowledging voter fraud,  MN state officials engaged in bribery and insurrection, NYC is imploding, and we're waiting for fraud numbers from the rest of the blue states, and this is what has Dan's panties in a twist.  Because Dan has been pretty consistent in ignoring problems that aren't directly in the US.  

 

Priorities.   

A Quote I'd Never Heard

 Just started a book about Midway and came across a quote attributed to FDR.   When meeting with Churchill in 1941 there was discussion about what circumstances would bring the US into the war.  FDR was concerned about public opinion being against was with Japan, and is quoted as saying that the US "will wage war, but not declare it.".   This was obviously disappointing to Churchill, but just as obviously made sense to FDR.    I believe that the implication in the statement was that the US wouldn't start a war, but would absolutely finish one.  While this philosophy doesn't always fit the circumstances, it certainly worked to get the US population behind the war effort.  

We're Going Platinum, Baby

According to Dan, Islam's version of the Golden Rule holds Muslims to a much higher standard that the Christian version of The Golden Rule.   I believe that Dan referred to the Islamic version as the "Platinum Rule".   I believe in letting people speak for themselves, and when Muslims speak about how they treat others, I see no reason not to believe them, as opposed to believing Dan's claims about Islam

Two liberals agreeing that Trump appeared more normal to a majority of voters than anyone the DFL offered.

The question has to be asked.  Why is the DFL leadership so determined to be on the wrong side of multiple issues that have @80% support across both parties?   How in the world is being on the 20% side of an 80/20 issues smart electoral calculus.

Dogs

 Remember back when "I choose the bear." was a thing?  

Well, if I was absolutely forced to choose, I choose dogs.

Scroll down to read the AOC idiocy first.  

 

Hypothetically?

 What if the single largest spill of toxic waste into a freshwater river system was happening right now? What is the source of this spill was from a leak in the sewage system in a DFL controlled state/city?What if the usual suspects who protest things like oil spills weren't interested in protesting this?  What if the MSM chose to focus on other stories instead of this?   

Just a hypothetical...

Christopher Hitchens wasn't particularly kind to Christianity over his lifetime, but he was significantly more educated and intelligent than Dan.  Let's compare Hitchen's thoughts on Islam to Dan's.
