    Sex-crazy n*****

    See the week-long right wing screech machine outragegasms when Obama actually spoke to and shook the hand of the smoking hot Danish prime minister (with Michelle sitting five feet away). You'd have thought he was Long Dong Silver charging rampant across the stage.

    For eight years (actually more like 10) the wingnuts were chomping at the bit to come up with some kind of sex scandal to hang on Obama, especially him lusting after a white woman.

    They had 300 years or so of the "horny black buck" mythology to redeem.

    That makes two stupid arguments, and I’d say the second is far worse than Cruz’s because Japan is an entirely different culture with different dominant religions: Buddhism, Zen and Zen Buddhism.

    That counterargument might be good for claiming Japan’s religions are more peaceful than Christianity, but arguing and comparing with that 2% figure is apples and oranges and a very poor argument, ie, bullshit.

    Cruz didn't say we "removed religion from the public square." He said we "removed God from the public square," which is patently false to begin with anyway.

    Good grief. Buddhism vs. Christianity has nothing whatsoever to do with it. Religion, in general, has nothing whatsoever to do with it (the vast majority of Japanese claim no religion).

    But the immense difference in the two countries' gun laws has a shit ton to do with it.

    LOL. But you are now correct that there are two stupid arguments.

    1. It was Cruz who injected religion into it
    2. Is Buddhism or Zen a religion or a philosophy.
    -Buddha isn’t God or Jesus or the Holy Spirit

    Is there a religion in the world responsible for more murders than Christianity. Is there a political movement more responsible for murder than Christianity

    Bob Woodward said that Grassley has long been a champion of whistleblowers. This narrative has become all sorts of odd.

    That's the fun part now. Maybe he'll say some more stupid shit in front of Thursday's hearing.

    "Look, having women—my aunt was a great professor of gender studies, Dr. Joan Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart—you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world—it’s true!—but when you're a conservative Republican they try—oh, do they do a number—that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune—you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged—but you look at these accusations, the thing that really bothers me—it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are (gender analysis is powerful; my aunt explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right—who would have thought?), but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners—now it used to be three, now it’s four—but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years—but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us."
