Ahhh interesting thank you MSN!

All our brains have been washed, MAGA brains are just much cleaner than mine.

Are the Israeli influenced MAGA brains cleaner than the anti Iran war MAGA brains? I'm talking Tucker Carlson/Candice Owens - labeled by Israel as 'the anti-truth, anti-american faction'.

I have always enjoyed Tucker Carlson as an entertainer. I have equally enjoyed SNL parodies of him as entertaining.

I disagree with most of cammd/Tucker Carlson's views and rhetoric, but if either of them makes a valid point, I'm willing to acknowledge that point on its own merits.

Ok philn Looking back over this thread I have said

I dont like Nazi's

I think western culture has delivered good human rights and standard of living

I think of freedom speech is important therefore offensive views or ideas should be defeated by debate not suppressed by law.

And finally I said the Iran government is a fanatical religious regime that shouldn't have nuclear weapons.

You have said I am brainwashed and blind, well I think what I have said is reasonable. What rhetoric and views do you disagree with.

Further thoughts/quotes about how we, homo sapiens, got here.



Hypocrites are those who apply to others standard that they refuse to accept for themselves.



Intellect is invisible to the man who has none of it.



How can great minds be produced in a country where the test of a great mind is agreeing with the opinions of small minds.



Everywhere man blames others, nature or fate. Yet his position in life is but the echo of his own character and passions, his mistakes and weakness.

Good quote, surprised you posted it. Normally victimhood is seen as a virtue by the left. The above quote is the opposite of that.

Does this mean you might re-evaluate some of your perceptions and assumptions about "the left"?

It means a good idea or policy or quote or argument etc is good regardless of its source.

Pffft. Which side of MAGA are you on now as there is a clear split as a result of this illegal American attack on Iran?

The Pisraeli faction or the Tucker Carlson/Candice Owens side?
