Probably no "team sport" Republicans, but that will be more than compensated for by "team sport" Democrats, who would vote for the donkey. I saw one on CNN today, a "journalist" justifying Hillary's comments about the "deplorable," citing some smelly statistic that 62% of whites think blacks are less intelligent. This really stinks to high heaven and is evidence of how far our politics and society have sunk. People are out of their minds.

"Team Sport" Republicans.<br /><br />2. Business Elites.<br /><br />3. White Supremacists.<br /><br />4. The Alienated.<br /><br />5. Libertarians.<br /><br />And, of course, I added:<br /><br />6.

Remember when we stopped North Korea's nuclear program? Now, after North Korea's fifth successful nuclear test, Obama is saying that we will never accept North Korea as a nuclear power. Talk about spitting in the face of reality. Iran is getting the bomb and lots of business. I also don't know how Joseph believes that Hilary Clinton will be the most pro Israel president ever. Based on what, exactly? The Iran "deal?" Hilary said that a Palestinian State is a necessity, when the real necessity is cutting down the Pal Arab ambition of destroying Israel and supplanting it with an Arab state. <br /><br />That being said, MIke's post had nothing to do with Hillary or Trump. It is about the rise in antisemitism working its way into our society through our academic institutions. Unfortunately, much of this is the work of people on the Left. Academic societies and organizations have been taking up BDS, and that's unsettling to say the least, because its wrong and they don't know what the fuck they are even talking about, but Israel along with all those "fat cat" Jews that control everything are just so evil. And it is not limited to colleges and universities. It has been making its way into secondary and primary education. Anyone remember Germany's Volkisch movement? First you infiltrate the educational system.

It has nothing to do with Trump and, in fact, has nothing whatsoever to do with the presidential election.<br /><br />Nor is it even about SFSU, which I simply use to ground a hypothetical. I could just as easily have placed the action in Brooklyn College or practically any other college around the country.<br /><br />But, if you want me to discuss where I fit in among the Irrational Hillary Haters then I would add another group to your list.<br /><br />6.

One other group, though, the revolutionaries, who believe that a Trump victory would lead to the worker's revolution.<br />Jacob,<br />Get your facts straight. The Clinton foundation has a higher rating than the Red Cross. The Clinton Foundation returns 88% to charity. It has an astonishingly low 2% fund raising costs. Check out Charity Watch or Charity Navigator. The one with the actually corrupt foundation is Trump, who buys himself gifts and politicians with his charity.josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09057606413590949268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-22522984858268722162016-09-13T08:19:52.162-07:002016-09-13T08:19:52.162-07:00Joseph, did you vote for Hussein?

Hillary is a fighter for the common man, what with a billionaire son in law, and hundreds of millions (how did she make it again?) in the bank. Oh, and let's not forget that charity they run. I hear they selflessly distributed all that money amongst the poor. After 95% administrative cost. <br />It's irrelevant though, just watch the collapse video. Elected or not, she'll be a vegetable at best within a year.

But let's talk about Dan Shapiro. I agree with him on next to nothing, except that he will never vote for Trump. He won't vote for Hillary either, but then these are the groups that won't vote for Hillary: 1. Republicans who view politics as a team sport. Put an R next to a candidate’s name and he gets their vote. They don’t know, or care to know, about issues. They only care that their team wins.<br />2.The elite business class for whom the only issue is more money for the rich. They believe there should be a permanent aristocracy, which includes only them.<br />3. The white supremacists. They are still angry that a (mixed) black man is in the White House. The cling to the notion of America for the old white guy.<br />4. Those who feel disaffected and unlistened to. They want change and don’t care what the change is because they feel their life is so bad that nothing could be worse. Rather than organizing and create the voice, money or votes required to get an audience, they sit, pout and complain.<br />5. The libertarians. These are the Ayn Rand acolytes who think that kindness, charity and altruism is for suckers. They believe it is a dog eat dog world and the best dog always wins. And, of course, each believes he is the best dog.<br />Please don’t say it is because of Israel. One can be known by his enemies, see what mondoweiss or other anti Israel sites say. They all recognize that Hillary is totally in the tank for Israel (as she should be). If elected, Hillary would be the most pro Israel president EVER. And complaints about the Iran deal are so misplaced as to be nonsensical. If not for Hillary, Iran would have the bomb today, not ten years from now but today. How she got the Russians, the Europeans and the Chinese to agree to sanctions is simply unbelievable. That she managed to hold it together long enough to get any deal, much less a reasonable deal is no less incredible. Shapiro falls into group 5, where are you?josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09057606413590949268noreply@blogger.com
