God would tell me, ‘George go and fight these terrorists in Afghanistan’. And I did. And then God would tell me ‘George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq’. And I did.” Mr Bush went on: “And now, again, I feel God’s words coming to me, ‘Go get the Palestinians their state and get the Israelis their security, and get peace in the Middle East’. And, by God, I’m gonna do it.” ---

> [@ElvisL1ves](#): > > [Indirect and paraphrased, but here ya go.](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2005/oct/07/iraq.usa) Aside from the fact that the Guardian is a left-wing rag, why would anyone believe the liars who run the Palestinian Authority? That fake quote helps their anti-Israel/anti-Western narrative. Even then, this moral relativism is communistic BS. America is categorically on a higher moral plane than radical Islamic terrorists, as the hope of the Earth, the city on the hill, the rape of evil. ---

The most amusing and/or loathsome of modern Islamophobia is the cowardly cognitive dissonance of it. You get pastors and politicians and internet fuckwads rant and rave about the Great Gay Abomination, or “globalist” bankers and their shadowy cabal and how they oughta be gassed, or feminazis gamergating their access to nice guy sex ; then they turn around because would you just \*look \*at them evil gay-bashing, jew-hating, non-women-respecting Muslims ! “These are my principles. If they’re not useful right now, I have others” (with apologies to Groucho) ---

If they’re not useful right now, I have others” (with apologies to Groucho) If u go thru my post history, I never say anything about “globalist bankers” or any cabal. Past posts also have me talking about how I’m Jewish as well as standing with Israel. In fact, I strongly opposed Bernie Sanders for being a self hating Jew, which he did to pander to the Free Palestine crowd, mainly Muslims and their leftist white guilt sympathizers and enablers. Leftist antiSemitism, the apex of hypocrisy and ungratefulness, is some of what led me rightward. I just believe with regards to LGB, women’s issues, etc that we stay at the status quo instead of “progress” or going back to the 50s. ---
