- to justify loyalty to Adolf Hitler in pre-war Germany)

America Firsters have been with us for a while... here they are at a rally in Madison Sq Garden:

They just call themselves MAGA now.

- since its texts are so pliable and can be used to support opposite positions. ...

That could be true of most writings sans any context.

Spkr Johnson cited Romans 13.

Other times Romans 13 was cited in American History ...

Should we always obey the government? (2018)

... Adding to the emotion and confusion in this situation, the Attorney General Jeff Sessions cited Paul's words in Romans 13 to deflect criticism and suggest that Christians should simply accept the Government's approach:
"I would cite you to the Apostle Paul and his clear and wise command in Romans 13, to obey the laws of the government because God has ordained the government for his purposes," Sessions said during a speech to law enforcement officers in Fort Wayne, Ind. "Orderly and lawful processes are good in themselves. Consistent and fair application of the law is in itself a good and moral thing, and that protects the weak and protects the lawful."

What is odd about Sessions reaching for this text is that it was previously called upon in two key moments of US history:

"There are two dominant places in American history when Romans 13 is invoked," said John Fea, a professor of American history at Messiah College in Pennsylvania.

"One is during the American Revolution [when] it was invoked by loyalists, those who opposed the American Revolution."

The other, Fea said, "is in the 1840s and 1850s, when Romans 13 is invoked by defenders of the South or defenders of slavery to ward off abolitionists who believed that slavery is wrong. I mean, this is the same argument that Southern slaveholders and the advocates of a Southern way of life made."


The current use (and previous use in Europe to justify loyalty to Adolf Hitler in pre-war Germany) might suggest that the Bible is useless as a guide for anything, since its texts are so pliable and can be used to support opposite positions. ...

Dear President Obama:

I am writing today with a somewhat unusual request.

First and foremost, I am asking that you return America to its August 20th, 1959 borders so that Hawaii is no longer a state and you are no longer a citizen.

Sincerely,
Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu

(SO.... Israeli spy and messenger boy, lol!

#14 The coward boaz says, "No one in the Republican party is "freaking out" over the hispanic vote."

Shall we take a looksee:

Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX), who represents TX-23, a rural majority Latino district that runs for 550 miles along the Mexican border from just east of El Paso almost to Laredo, said: "It should be an eye-opener to all of us that we all need to pick up the pace."

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said the election was a "very concerning outcome."

Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R-TX) tweeted that the results are a "wake-up call for Republicans across Texas. Our voters cannot take anything for granted."

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) said: "a swing of this magnitude is not something that can be dismissed."

Texas GOP consultant Brendan Steinhauser said: "That imagery coming out of Minnesota in the last few days has had a huge impact on not only Hispanic voters, but swing voters, independents in Texas and around the country."

Yeah!

The coward boaz must be glad that "No one in the Republican party is "freaking out" over the hispanic vote.".

Right?

#330 The only camo worn by the coward boaz is that which he bought at the Duck Dynasty merch store.

Boaz: Define progressive. Here's what www.dictionary.com says:

1. favoring or advocating progress, change, improvement, or reform, as opposed to wishing to maintain things as they are, especially in political matters.
2. making progress toward better conditions; employing or advocating more enlightened or liberal ideas, new or experimental methods, etc.

Again, name one publicly known intelligent progressive. Not hard. Unless you don't know any, which I guess you're admitting.

Can you identify an intelligent MAGA supporter, influencer, or politician? Please give us your lengthy list of names.

A non-American friend of mine outside the US recently asked me to look at the names in the Jeffrey Epstein files. "W.G." said they are all white and many are Jewish.

He concluded that the Joe Biden administration was protecting Israel and Jewish-Americans by not releasing the files.

I advised "W.G." that indeed a few Biden cabinet appointees were Jewish, including USAG Merrick Garland and US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.

He replied: "See, there you go."

Moving along I told him that I was reading Virginia Giuffre's book Nobody's Girl and "W.G." asked me how it was.

Epstein only wanted white girls for his seraglio and he only serviced white (wealthy) clients.

Moreover, Epstein did not want girls with tattoos. This is probably because of the prohibitions against Jews having tattoos.

And from Virginia's account, we can't tell the religions of any of the white girls he recruited.

Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine ("G-Max") Maxwell seemed to be targeting vulnerable young shiksas, saving Jewish girls from their predations.

And poor Virginia was terrified of ex-Israeli PM Ehud Barak who caused her terrible pain and bloodied her.

She thought that he might actually rape and kill her at their next encounter.

Too bad Special Counsel Jack Smith spent four tortured years pursuing Dummkopf Trumpf for hoarding classified documents and instigating the 6 January attack against the US Capitol when he could have had access to the Epstein files.

Looking back now, all that courtroom drama between Jack Smith, Aileen Cannon, and the Appellate Court, seems to have been one grand kabuki theater.
