Dude, just join the Episcopalians. They dropped opposition to abortion and embraced every trendy “social justice” cause years ago.
 
I think you missed part of the meme my friend. Read the bottom text.
 
I thought he did a pretty good job for a young fellow. Was a little hard to hear due to his accent, talking fast. I didn’t agree with all he said, knew where he was coming from… But I did think they (the dems) might be grooming him for years to come.
 
I must have missed the part of Little Joe’s speech about Nazis…

There’s no mention of Nazis in Kennedy’s speech. I made the mistake of qualifying a statement by mentioning them here:

The speech was about the values that Americans have shared over time - obviously not shared by every single variety of American such as the Nazis that marched in Charlottesville - just the predominant values that built this country.

The result was a discussion about should or should not the term “Nazi” be used in reference to the group that marched in Charlottesville carrying torches and chanting “Jews will not replace us.” The topic developed a life of its own.

Nah. None of that disproves my own point. I’m satisfied with my statements and will continue to make them as required.

I thought this summed it up well:

There he was, a grandfathered-in congressman worth a reported $18 million, product of Stanford and Harvard Law, standing in front of a gleaming car, an American flag and a Bengals banner at a vocational school — all those condescending, blue-collar signifiers. He wore a tie and shirtsleeves, the car’s hood open as though he’d just been tinkering with it.

The only remarkable thing about Kennedy’s speech was his odd delivery: not reminiscent of his clan’s Boston Brahmin accent, but a cadence and an oratory meant to evoke Barack Obama — the last young Democrat to come out of nowhere, light up the electorate and slay a dynastic sure-thing.

He did try to talk like Obama. It is odd.

Yea, the Dem rank and file should be concerned about that.

They are spending their political capital on people that aren’t even citizens

ignoring the needs of their actual constituency.

Which does go to show that, unlike the Republicans, have a motivation that is humanitarian and not self-serving. I used to be a Republican, but I left it decades ago because they were elevating money over people, plus their increase in the number of racists after they absorbed the vast majority of the “Southern Democrats” (“Dixiecrats”) starting in the late 1960’s after LBJ got the Civil Rights Acts passed.

BTW, are you aware of the fact that the Catholic bishops here in the States have been emphatic about helping the Dreamers, including a pathway to citizenship? Matter of fact, I think any compassionate person would want to help these people that came not on their own volition but who have lived here most of their lives.

As I stated in a previous post, I don’t think the Dreamers are likely to be helped by the Republicans to stay and gain a pathway to citizenship, largely because the right-wing of the party does’t want those brown-skinned people here that are likely to vote Democratic, and this includes Trump, who’s racism has been well established. He pays lip-service to them, but I doubt very much if he’ll ever deliver.

Supporting our refugee program is humanitarian.

Dems are supporting economic migrants, they aren’t fighting over increases in our humanitarian visa categories.

Dems offer us a Clinton and a Kennedy — will they ever learn?

Yes that was a good article. To the democrats, as long as they can put someone out there with the last name Kennedy, they think they don’t have a thing to worry about. The democrats are really out of touch.

All it takes is just one. A plate of cookies with one of them being laced with poison makes the whole plate bad.

I tell you
“Here is a plate of cookies, please take one, oh by the way one of them is poisoned”

Would you still take one?
