'Anti-Semitism is worthy of being condemned on its own'

The US House of Representatives will vote Thursday on a measure originally drafted to condemn anti-Semitism, but later expanded to include other forms of bigotry, including white supremacism and ‘Islamophobia’.

The House’s Democratic Majority Leader, Steny Hoyer, said during a closed-door meeting of Democratic lawmakers Thursday that the symbolic resolution “opposing hate will be voted on today,” an aide said, according to AFP.

The bill is finally being brought to a vote after bitter debate amongst Democratic members of the House over how to respond to a string of controversial comments by Democratic congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.

Omar has been accused by both Republicans and Democrats of channeling classic anti-Semitic canards regarding Jewish influence and dual allegiances, after she accused a pro-Israel Jewish group of buying off Congress to back Israel, and suggesting her critics were loyal to a foreign country – Israel.

The House also is voting on a resolution to proclaim that cow farts smell bad, which passes the smell test.

Good thing we don’t have illegal aliens crossing our border.

[Eleutheria5]

Yeah. That would be just awful.

Don’t want to single out anti-Semites! Which includes, the media, Democrats, and liberal Jews.

Many members of minorities express anti-Semitic sentiments. Therefore, condemning antisemitism is racist.

Can a Democrat truly be an American?

They are trying to blame Donald Trump.

[Eleutheria5]

He has to be allowed to be an American, because the Constitution says so. If Harry Truman were alive today, he would be an American, but not a Democrat.

“Can a Democrat truly be an American?”

When I was a kid in the 1960s people identified as Americans before political parties, unions or ethnic origin. They came to church before the turkey shoot lining their rifles up along the back wall. We loved God and openly shared that. Today’s Democrats have booted God out of their party and that says it all for them.
