Thanks Pratt, though I think we will be in the minority. I was thinking the same thing when I read this thread, I can see how the holocaust happened as well.

Here's my thing...I get the right's frustration with American Jewish identity and their usual love for all things progressive, but I stop short of seeing them all as evil and incapable of redemption. I also will admit I am a zionist as I believe God gave them that land and told them they would return to it after exhile in the last days, which has proven true. Even if one does not believe in that version of zionism as described in the scriptures or zionism at all, I still would never see them in the same light as many do on this board. Their argument seems pragmatic as they portray i(lt (such as saving money and lives by not funding them finacially or militarily) , but it goes deeper. You can see it in the responses to every thread.

Why cant we see that worldview, ideology and in some cases religious zeal (of the bad variety) are the cause of all of these issues.

All these conspiracy theories vomited lately on this site regarding Jews, seems contrived from the heart of someone with an axe to grind or like an AI script. The uptick of these posts leads me to belive there are probably shills posting stuff just to rile the ignorant and grow the cause. There is plenty of blame to hand out, but Israel and the Jews are not one of them.

Two, that the antisemites blame EVERYTHING on the Jews.

Judging from the fact we can never get to the second page of a thread without someone commenting "the jews, the jews", Id say number two hit the mark

This. My God, this place has turned into 1938 nazi propaganda. The jews seemingly are in control of all things evil. It's amazing to see history repeating itself and the only thing left is to start marking jewish owned businesses with that little yellow star.

No I expected a slightly different mode of playing by the newbs along with the fake high of being in the best conference (see Mizzou and aTm). Wait till you're newness wears off and you realize you need more than just offense to win. OU was use to checking a box for conference champion in the Big12. You'll have to actually have to try more consistently in the SEC to earn it here.

But, if Oregon, Indiana and OSU are ranked higher than most in the SEC, and other metrics are saying that the SEC top to bottom better than the B1G then the disparity has to come from somewhere, does it not? It would then have to come from the middle down part of the conference and that would be Vanderbilt and Missouri, would it not? If so, then they would be tough games. You either have to concede that the top teams of the B1G are overrated, or concede that the mid tier teams of the SEC are much better than mid tier teams of the B1G.

I think OSU deserves to be #1 and Indiana and Oregon are very good teams, too.

I think you are dismissing Missouri and Vanderbilt based off their past lack of success...but if you are going to do that, then you should do the same for Indiana and at least a bit for Oregon, shouldn't you?

Logic. Great argument.

Some here still use the legacy media as their only source of info. All they have to do is make a claim, vaguely insinuate there could be evidence. 50+ years ago (bah blah blah).. and poof they are here repeating it as gospel.

Second, these acts were done months prior to the election. You're going to need much more of a direct causation to make that argument (under whichever statute you'd try).

I honestly don't care how smart you think you are, there is interpretation in these quoted statements. You clearly dont want to or are unable to see it. What you quoted I believe backs my view perfectly and perhaps you are too jaded from experience to see it plainly.

How can any act purportedly against Trump be sedition prior to him being sworn in as President?

Until that point he's not, "the Government of the United States", or in any way part of it.

Couldn't the argument be made that the people of the untied states are the government and subverting the will of the voter is against the constitution/government? Or do you only see the government as the top powers voted in and not include the ones who voted?

Of course it doesn't..in your mind. Why it is obvious to so many, but yet blind to you tells me all I need to know. You epitomize everything about lawyers I can't stand, straining a gnat while swallowing a camel. Let me guess, watergate is still the worst politcal situation you've ever seen, right? Your talking points are synonymous with the DNC, and the reason you can't see it is because you refuse to see it through any other lens.

Funny how Kirk and those dimwits never mention it.

Yeah, I dont get their narrative half the time. They actually brought up Milroe's running ability being so superior to Ty's during the game as if speed was somehow more important than what Ty was doing against Georgia's defense. I saw more out of Ty in 3 games than Milroe in 3 years. It takes a complete derailment of the narrative and years for them to speak anything contrary than what they they originally spoke in hype.

This is unfortunately correct, however even still the hopium flows. I guese we base it off previous interactions with Georgia, which is not wise. The Tide seems to be improving somewhat and bulldogs though good may be a little fools gold. We will see. I just wish we were more prepared in week 1 and this conversation is a little different.

Ir was all a failed experiment.

I believe that too. Singular best showing for a season feels like Mac Jones's for me. Whatever we did to make that offense work so well...and yes I know we had the Slim Reaper and what-not, but let's face it, Mac was super smart and efficient with the ball. My opinion is he deserved the heisman that year but I'm in the very small minority on that. Just give us a qb like that.

We wasted the end of the Saban era recruiting “dual threat” QBs.

All we needed were drop back passers who could empower our skill players and functional OLs and we win a couple more championships.

Glad Jalen figured it out and I appreciate how he carried himself here, but I didn’t enjoy any of the offenses he ran at Bama.

So much agreement with this post. But in Saban's defense, that was the flavor of football at the time and explains most of our losses during his tenure (other than the Garcia effect). Coach probably felt like fighting fire with fire. I feel like we pursued the Deshaun Watsons of the cfb world, but for us they never seemed to possess both maneuverability and polished passing equally. It's like we could have either/or, but never both. But I tell you what, I'd give just about anything for those Jalen hurts teams over what we've been putting out lately.

Exactly, but there’s an explosion of trolls on here sense the loss. But hey I get it, it drives the traffic to the site and that’s what they want. Just ignore the shiny hooks, lol.

But yeah I feel ya man. I lost my wife of 29yrs to cancer. She made it clear to me not to mourn her, to move on with my life and be happy as I was with her and that’s what I did.

It sucks to lose but it’s not tragic as some trying to make it out to be.

That's some true perspective. I use to lose my cool with every loss. I remember shouting so loud during the LSU loss in 2011 that I thought the neighbors had called the police and they were banging on my door, turns out we were in the middle of an earthquake!..lol. Now, Im cool as a cucumber. Life ain't about football, it's about Jesus, family, & our neighbors. Football is just for fun. Grace and Shalom!
