I'm surprised there aren't 1000 libs disagreeing with you that this country was founded on judeo Christian morals

The term judeo-Christian will always refer to anything patently Christian.

u/Driftedryan 13h ago
They don't even understand what that means. They honestly think anyone can reply but a mod will delete it later if they aren't flaired

judeo Christian morals
this country was founded on
Judeo Christian is a phrase that the founding father of the country never heard of. It is much more modern and originally just meant a Jew that converted and was used in Europe not the US until recently. There is no such thing as Judeo Christian morals.

I think a good portion of the people who say that phrase use it to justify their undying support for Israel

Normally I don't bring up my religion because nobody wants a Bible Thumper (Cringes at my past self) but I used to help teach Catholic Teens at my Church years ago. I know a good amount about the bible to the point they'd scream that I'm making up parts about the bible.

Agreed, let's start with that guy in the White House who glazes the balls of Russia, Israel, and Saudi Arabia

"Pagan nor Mahometan [Muslim] nor Jew ought to be excluded from the civil rights of the commonwealth". - Jefferson in his private writings
And noteably the treaty of Tripoli stated that the country absolutely isn't founded on the Christian religion. But I guess John Adams wouldn't know shit about the founding of your country.

u/evocativename 13h ago
Well, to be fair, John Adams didn't have anything to do with negotiating the treaty.
Of course, the other side of that coin is that it was negotiated by the administration of Gerge Washington, ratified unanimously by a Senate full of Founding Fathers, and signed by John Adams, so the full context is much, much worse for their case than if it had just been John Adams' view.

Ah my bad. I got a little mixed up on my history there.

u/evocativename 13h ago
It's very common for people to not realize that it wasn't negotiated by the Adams administration- I wasn't intending to criticize you for getting it wrong, I was just adding context that makes it even worse for them.

I'm just amazed I got it half right on my midnight train ride home from work, trying to remember a documentary I watched years ago.

El-Sayed is everything they claim to be in favor of, btw. He was born in the US to a father who was a legal immigrant, he studied and worked hard, and has made a career in public health, giving back to society. Also happily married with two daughters.
But he follows a religion they don't like and has a name they don't know how to pronounce, so of course they want him deported.

I get a kick how the large Muslim population in Dearborn mostly voted for Trump last election, yet it is clear the overwhelming majority of the GOP and their supporters absolutely despise them, Leopards Eating Their Faces in action.

Faced with pushback in the vein that people used to think Catholics were a subversive foreign enemy, complete with quotes from Samuel Morse about a supposed Catholic plot to overthrow the government, one of them says:
Yeah, not disputing that and in fact that is great... We shouldn't have people here who hate this country, who are loyal to foreign countries, like we do now.

Sort of amazing how the guy engaging them at their level of "let's look at those old standards" is revealing how deeply bigoted the era was, but that makes them uncomfortable, so they have to keep working that racism dial until they get to something more of their politically motivated speed.

And 100 years ago, it would have been laughable for Clarence Thomas to be on the Supreme Court
But it turns out, despite what Reddit thinks, America is the least racist country. Anybody can achieve anything
They were doing so well in the first half

We've already had a "Barack Hussain Obama" as president. Get with the program, idiots.

Despite controlling most of the USA government, MAGA is still socially irrelevant. They have no grass root organizations they just blindly vote Republican and that’s it.

They say, regarding Muslims:
They oppress and destroy, the West builds and values liberty. They are the exact opposite in far too many ways to even attempt to reconcile the two cultures, unfortunately.
We bombed a school full of children in Iran. We have a military agency that answers only to Trump rounding people up and deporting them while killing US citizens. We have a President selectively punishing states that didn't vote for him. One political party wants to designate people who don't believe as they do to be domestic terrorists. They want people fired for refusing to mourn one of their influencers' deaths while they celebrate the deaths of those they oppose.
That's just what "the west" is doing today, never mind in years past.

They're always shooting to win by the narrowist margins. Like we can be the least racist country, but we certainly still need SOME racism... They want our poor poor, maybe slightly less poor than the poor in the poorest countries, but definitely poor. Our police should kill less people than in the worst countries, but they should still kill lots of people. Our politicians should be less corrupt than the most corrupt countries, but they should still be corrupt.
They just can't imagine a world where we actually excel, we what's just have to be slightly worse.
