I’m not racist, I’d never say I hate a specific race. But there are ideologies I don’t agree with.Fine, I don't Jews. Better? Explain that away.

I am unaware of the Proud Boys killing anybody. If I remember correctly, they current or last leader is/was Hispanic. They began as a joke, and I do not see them as a real threat. The KKK, as I have said, are a creation of the Democrat party, which is not "far-right".
But they are not DEAD. Its hard to reverse death. Death is a very permanent thing.Property may not always be rebuilt. Many of those who lost property cannot afford to replace it, ever. Their lives and livelihoods are shattered.
I would rather be completely and utterly broke, than dead.That cannot be simply waved away.
Far right should not be a controversial terminology.And I'm not defensive, nor am I saying that extremists are not a problem. I merely disagree with terminology.
Okay, so its okay for someone to go around saying they do not like jews?I’m not racist, I’d never say I hate a specific race. But there are ideologies I don’t agree with.
You are aware that the Democratic Party was the conservative party until sometime between Teddy Roosevelt and Franklin Roosevelt at which point it became the left leaning party and the KKK was founded in 1865?
I stand to be corrected as I have been out for a very long time, but my understanding is the only hate 'crime' in Canada under the Criminal Code is 'willfully promoting hatred' ('hate speech'). All other aspects are sentencing guidelines for the court, after conviction of course, if they determine the substantive offence was motivated by hate, bias or prejudice on certain named grounds. There are also a myriad of provincial human rights legislations, but they aren't criminal law.So what, then, differentiates a hate crime from a terrorist attack?

Barry Goldwater only won in the south, no?The Democrats were rarely a conservative party unless you're using the American media's definitions ~ and they don't understand what liberal and conservative really mean. The Southern Flip, the slow death of the Dixiecrats and the move of the South away from the Democrats and towards the Republicans, started in the 1960s and '70s ... long, long after FDR, even after LBJ.
FDR was the start of the progressive and left agenda, would you not say?It wasn't complete until after the Reagan Era. Some suggest that the Dixiecrats are rising again ~ Biden won Georgia, after all.

There are only two real viable political alternatives within Canada, Liberal or Conservative. So do Canadian Muslims vote for a political imperative that encourages immigration and liberal approaches on policy, or an imperative that espouses less immigration and conservative approaches. Methinks the former. Realpolitik is rampant. Liberals views on a variety of topics, many of which are anathema to Islam, is irrelevant in this context.Heh. My Pastor told me the bible was the word of God and we cannot question Gods word.
That seems incompatible with western society now that I think about it.
Yet....western Muslims have. Again, unless you can explain how Canadian Muslims vote en masse for the LPC, who love gays, LGBTQ, women's equality, all stuff that political Islam rails against. Can you make sense of that?
Neither is Islam. Is Mayor Nenshi a example of Political Islam?
Yes so all the individuals are not practicing political Islam....makes one think Islam in the west Muslims do not practice political Islam...
Its almost like they are politically secular and spiritually devout...like every other religion....
Go figure.
20 years is a generation, lets go with that.
Methinks this is how Canadian Muslims vote.So do Canadian Muslims vote for a political imperative that encourages immigration and liberal approaches on policy, or an imperative that espouses less immigration and conservative approaches. Methinks the former.
FDR was the start of the progressive and left agenda, would you not say?
i agree, it why I originally said between the two Roosevelts.Earlier. Woodrow Wilson.
Message: "If you want to talk about the US election there is a thread for that."Could we stay on topic? It's literally like everytime someone mentions the US Federal politics you jump in to quote 4 irrelevant words and turn them into a tangent.
There's quite a few I disagree with.I’m not racist, I’d never say I hate a specific race. But there are ideologies I don’t agree with.
I'm not one to tell people how to suck eggs, but maybe take the hint with it being locked?Message: "If you want to talk about the US election there is a thread for that."
Thanks. That's a nice suggestion. I tried to reply there. But, the "thread for that" is locked.
Hope it stays locked. He's gone., but maybe take the hint with it being locked?
