Trump is Trump, not (favorite boogieman here).

got all frothy and played the Hitler card.  It's 1933 all over again.  So I sought to soothe his tortured soul.  Well, kind of.

"Trump is Hitler!" "Hitler is Trump!" "Putin is Hitler!" "Saddam is Hitler!" "Gaddafi is Hitler!" "Netanyahu is Hitler!" "Martha Stewart is Hitler!" "Hitler is Rosie O'Donnell!" "Rosie O'Donnell is the Profit Mohammad!"  "Tony Blair is Richard Prior!" "Dick Cheney is Darth Vader!" "Hugo Chavez is Nancy Pelosi!" "Nancy Pelosi is Lou Reed!" "Colonel Sanders is Linda Ronstadt!" "Big Bird is Larry Wide Stance!" "Le Pétomane is Secretariat!" "Up is down!" "Left is right!" "Hitler is Hitler!" "The sky is falling!"
Give me a break.
Trump is an immensely successful real-estate developer, brand merchandiser, reality-tv showman, New York celebrity complete w/NY bluntness, a former celebrated man-about-town turned family man in business with his kids, a New York version of the Waltons (both the ones on the mountain and the ones who own Walmart). Horatio Alger from the Big Apple. A larger-than-life super achiever. He's rude and crude and he doesn't do "tone". His impolitic bluntness is the antidote to Kool-Aid-saturated political correctness. He's the reality-television version of Elon Musk. You love him or hate him (envy and the alpha-male instinct). He's authentic and he's meteoric. He's a builder, not a destroyer, not a killer.
Lose the hysteria. You wish you were Donald Trump, same as you might wish you were Hugh Hefner. It's okay. We're all human. We understand secret love.

re censorship at antiwar.com

Really, Thomas? Who is the drama queen here? You're embarrassing yourself with this name calling. My comment disappeared. What am I to think, you're on a coffee break? So I posted the link to my backup, my all-but-invisible, low-traffic,... make that no-traffic,... blog. The "rules" you cite give the Jews a free pass on their complicity in the Zionist project. It's ok to criticize Zionism or Israel, but not the Jews that make their crimes possible. That appears to be the rule, and it amounts to Antiwar.com caving to Jewish/Zionist intimidation. It may be discretion -- as in "discretion is the better part of valor" -- but absent the lethality of bullets-and-bombs-combat, it's cowardly. It was cowardly then, as it is cowardly now. That said, it ***IS*** Justin's website and he gets to decide on when "discretion" -- strategic restraint -- is called for. I've had this issue since before you were moderator. Someone Jewis...

Right to exist, right to self-defense.....not!

The following is a post I made to The Algemeiner, an online Jewish publication, in response to "Golda Meir was no J-Streeter", http://www.algemeiner.com/2015/09/08/golda-meir-was-no-j-streeter/#comment-4474211. Like many Jewish publications The Algemeiner has a limited tolerance for the truth when the truth is critical of Israel and its supporters, and so, not surprisingly, the comment was deleted by "moderation". I reprint it here for your consideration. ************************** Make no mistake, I’m an American and a Jew. For those of you thoroughly infected with the Judiasm-destroying poison of Zionism, here is the antidote to your Kool-aid dreams. Drink deeply and wake up to reality. We often hear the phrase “Israel’s right to exist” and along with it, “Israel’s right to self-defense.” Hear them endlessly, by propagandists who repeat them endlessly. But endless repetition does not make a thing true. The phantom “legiti...

Political Self-Immolation

"What is relevant is Donald Jr's INTENT. In his email response (I am paraphrasing, but you can verify) he says, if the offer of dirt on Hillary is true, I love it! The intent behind this statement is loud and clear." I agree with you that this is the heart of the matter, and like you I am surprised that the so few of the anti-Trump people have zeroed in on this crucial element. Good on you for bringing it front and center. Let's take a look. Trump jr gets an email that says, "We've got dirt on HRC from the Russian govt, and we want to share it with you as part of Russia/Putin's effort to help Trump win the presidency." (This may not be absolutely the precise wording, but this will be the most aggressive/damning "parsing".) Then Trump jr says, "I love it, bring it on." This will be spun as Trump jr declaring his willingness and his INTENT (your caps) to collude, and as the very first substantive act in the process of collusi...
