Sorry about the language... The difference between patriotism and nationalism is that the patriot is proud of his country for what it does, and the nationalist is proud of his country no matter what it does; the first attitude creates a feeling of responsibility, but the second a feeling of blind arrogance that leads to war.

Really... think about it for a minute...

This isn't totally accurate, but close enough for this purpose...

So you are hanging in there with the FAKE NEWS??????
AT LEAST YOU ARE CONSISTANT. AND YOU will minimize the list that follows....Benghazi means nothing to you and your ilk.
MSM DARE NOT CCC THE FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT…….SO THERE ARE NO STUPID HILARIAS PICTURES THAT I KNOW OFF…….
BUT THE FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT DOES HAVE A LEGACY:
Here are Obama’s political scandals:
The ATF-led “Operation Fast & Furious”
The 2012 Benghazi attack
The Clinton Foundation’s pay-for-play scheme
Uranium One
The Department of Justice’s tracking of journalists, including Fox News’ James Rosen
The Veteran’s Affairs scandal
The Hillary Clinton private email scandal
The IRS targeting of conservative groups
The Solyndra scandal
NSA spying on Americans and the PRISM program, exposed by whistleblowers
Obama’s nuclear Iran deal
Obama’s intervention in Syria and subsequent failure to act on his “red line” declaration
Anything else?
Obama and other top members from his administration have made similar claims since President Donald Trump assumed office last January, despite the overwhelming amount of facts that disprove their outright dishonesty.
Even Obama’s messaging has not been consistent. He admitted earlier this year that his administration “didn’t have a scandal that embarrassed us.” At that private event, Obama never disputed his administration had scandals, like he did publicly this week.
Many wonder today why the Republican party does nothing to defeat the treasonous
schemes of the Democrats. It is because the pope’s Jesuits have thoroughly
infiltrated the Republican party as well as the Democratic party. Many wonder why
the news media lie so much to support and protect the Democrats. It is because the
pope’s Jesuits have thoroughly infiltrated the news media. The news media and
schools and colleges, with their lies and propaganda, have so conditioned the
people of the country that they are unable to recognize what has been done to them.
Victory for the Jesuits seems very near. The Jesuits are like a cancer that has
pervaded nearly every fiber of the society of the United States. We are being
defeated by the enemy within.
For many years the Jesuits have prevented the United States from developing
additional sources of energy within its own territory. Exploiting the vast oilfields on
the Alaskan north slope, that probably contain more oil than the entire middle east,
is forbidden. New nuclear power plants, the safest source of electric energy ever
discovered, are not permitted. There is no end to the lies people have been made to
believe about Nuclear energy. The environment is used as the club to subdue the
people of the country into going along with this idiocy. Modern technology is able to
develop these sources of power without any damage to the environment. France
gets 80% of its power from nuclear power plants without any problems. Needless to
say, without sufficient energy, the United States will not be able to defend itself. All
the papacy has to do is cut off the oil supply from the middle east.
The United States is now starting to feel the pinch of the energy shortage the Jesuits
have created. People have experienced blackouts over large areas as power is shut
off to stay within the limits of generating capacity. Today, instead of constructing
additional nuclear power plants, some of these plants are being dismantled! Will the
people of the United States be able to wake up in time to prevent the coming
national tragedy?
Not only in the United States is this treachery being perpetrated by the papacy, but
they are secretly at work all over the world to subvert all the nations of the world.
"And all the world wondered after the beast." Rev 13:3 last part.

What is fake? Numerous religious leaders have claimed hurricane Katrina was an act of God meant to punish New Orleans for it's decadence and indulgence to sexual immorality. There have been similar claims about other natural disasters over time, so that claim is valid.
White Europeans invaded north and south America, literally committing genocide, slaughtering the indigenous people by the millions. This is our ugly history just as our enslavement of black Africans is seared into history. MOST of the slaughter was done by people calling themselves Christian. These are facts.
Benghazi involved the deaths of Americans in a terrorist attack in Libya on a US embassy. There were different versions of the attack, an attempt to downplay the event by Hillary Clinton and her people. This should not have happened, but the fact is it did happen nearly a decade ago. I am willing to discuss something new, I can only respond just so many times to the same thing.
There have been hundreds of memes on Hillary over time, I haven't posted many here, but they are out there. Just as there have been vile posts about Obama and his family, I didn't post many of them here either.paulwhut wrote:So you are hanging in there with the FAKE NEWS??????

I read a post on Facebook that explains why most self identifying Christians have no real comprehension, how they can think Bibles, guns and Trump go together like peanut butter and jelly. "Norah asked me to read the Bible to her as a bedtime story a couple years ago. I told her it's not really a story book you don't typically sit down and read it from start to finish like that. She replied with "but we can, I don't think God would mind." she's right..... I don't think he'd mind"I have asked how anyone thinks they can understand the story if they skip from book to book, verse to verse, all out of sequence and context. I asked what other book in the world do you read skipping here and there and expect to understand what you have read. Years ago there was a man TerryD that gave an answer... encyclopedias and dictionaries. Sadly, he was serious, it wasn't a smart aleck response.The difference between patriotism and nationalism is that the patriot is proud of his country for what it does, and the nationalist is proud of his country no matter what it does; the first attitude creates a feeling of responsibility, but the second a feeling of blind arrogance that leads to war.

Pat Robertson informs Donald Trump he lost: ‘You’ve had your day and it’s time to move on’Matthew Chapman ~ December 21, 2020Rev. Pat Robertson, a fixture of right-wing evangelical commentary and one of President Donald Trump's longtime supporters, declared that Joe Biden will be president and urged Trump to accept that fact.
The outgoing president, said Robertson, "lives in an alternate reality" and "is very erratic," in footage posted by Right Wing Watch. Robertson said to Trump, "You've had your day and it's time to move on" — and added that Trump should not try to run again in 2024, something he has been reportedly considering.
Trump won overwhelming majorities of white evangelical voters both times he ran for president. They have been a reliable component of his coalition and critical to the GOP's viability in elections.The difference between patriotism and nationalism is that the patriot is proud of his country for what it does, and the nationalist is proud of his country no matter what it does; the first attitude creates a feeling of responsibility, but the second a feeling of blind arrogance that leads to war.
