A few days apart, there were two Donald Trump-related stories in the news. First, he called his former aide Omarosa Manigault Newman a “dog.” Second, his Administration coddled Saudi Arabia immediately after their armed forces targeted and blew up a schoolbus full of children in Yemen. Guess which story elicited a big response in the United States?
Fewer Yemeni Children Would Die if Trump Were to Call them Dogs (Especially the Girls)

But Ted, who cares about Yemeni children – other than Yemeni parents ? You have completely misunderstood the notion of «human rights», which is designed to as an excuse for taking human life – that of men, women, and children – in foreign lands, rather than to prevent such things as the bombing of a School bus in Yemen or a weedding party in Afghanistan from happening. Can you name a US invasion or bombing of a foreign country during the last couple of decades than hasn’t been justified by appealing to human rights ?…

«weedding party» → «wedding party» My most abject apologies….

Americans don’t pay attention to anything that happens outside their borders.
The problem is that 95% of humanity lives outside US borders – and you can bet that THEY pay attention. Sooner or later, they will come looking for pay back.
Paying attention to your own is nature. It is natural.
One cares about one’s own first.
The great Charles Dickens rightly calumnied Mrs. Jellyby in his novel Bleak House for neglecting her own in favor of foreigners.
The government’s support for the Saudi war against the Houthis is indefensible.
Still, no one can love a child like a parent can. Only the parents of those killed on that bus can truly grieve for those children. The rest of the world, and not just America, feels pity, but shrugs.
> Paying attention to your own is nature. It is natural.
So is shitting your pants, but as you grow up you learn better.
Stupid.
I’m sorry – was that an ad hominem attack? ‘cuz I thought you were opposed to such things…
Fewer American girls would die if we enforced our borders.
The body of Mollie Tibbetts was found today.
An illegal alien, Cristihan Bahena Rivera, has been charged with her murder.
Is that a fact? Since the overwhelming majority of murders in this country are committed by citizens, then (by your reasoning) we should chase out all the citizens.
That’s a wonderful idea. Let’s get rid of those who murder and keep illegal aliens out so they do not murder ours.
You argument wasn’t about ‘murder’ but rather those who you assume are inclined to murder.
Me, I think white, male, gun-nut haters are inclined to murder.
If you’re true to your beliefs, you’ll leave. (and I’m just gonna assume you’re not leaving.)
Fail.
Statistics show your prejudice against white males is incorrect. There are other groups far more likely to murder.
Statistics show your reading comprehension is poor. I didn’t say “white” – I said (and I quote) “white, male, gun-nut haters”
Unless you want to argue that all whites are male, gun-nut haters? That has not been my experience.
ah, here we are – an Indian immigrant was murdered in cold blood by a white gun nut:

Fewer humans would die if you and yours outgrew your prejudices.
What does this have to do with Mollie Tibbbetts? Are you suggesting the illegal alien was prejudiced against white girls?
I don’t know – what *does* Mollie Tibbets have to do with dead Yemenis?
> Are you suggesting the illegal alien was prejudiced against white girls?
I don’t know that either – but I do know that you and Adam Purinton are prejudiced against brown girls.
See the above comment for the connection between dead Yemenis and dead Mollie, murdered by an illegal alien that our government allowed in the country.
Once again, your logic does not hold. I’m not a murderer like Rivera.
Are you suggesting Rivera be charged with a hate crime as well as murder?
It’s too bad you can’t make an argument without ad hominem attacks. It’s the sign of a weak intellect.
> See the above comment for the connection between dead Yemenis and dead Mollie
Sooo…. still not seeing a connection, here. Did the illegal Yemeni alien kids drive the bus to Iowa? And they killed Mollie? Or is it that Mollie tried to blow up the school bus but burned her lips on the tailpipe?

Stop the psychedelia.

WHAhahahahahha hee hee hee. titter, giggle. Guffaw. It is to laugh.
Not only is your post an ad hominem attack, but EVERY post you make is an ad hominem attack. (followed by crying your little eyes out when you get a taste of your own medicine)
> Learn to read.
Learn to write. In ten words or less, in one flat, declarative sentence, explain to me what Mollie Tibbets has to do with dead Yemeni children.
You assert you did so in your first post above, yet it doesn’t even *mention* Yemeni children. It’s all off topic. (You know, that thing you whine about whenever you’re losing?)
The United States governments has the blood of the Yemeni children and the blood of Mollie Tibbetts on its hands.
Stop supporting Saudi Arabia.
And build The Wall!
I agree – let’s build that wall. On the Mason-Dixon line.
It’s a fact that southerners have more STDs – we wouldn’t want them inbred, bucktoothed, retards sticking their filthy dicks into our innocent northern girls. Nor would we want them polluting our gene pool with their inbred genes. We don’t want them destroying our culture with NASCAR and hootenannies and whatever other strange rituals they practice.
BUILD THE WALL!
Pathetic
I’m sorry – was that an ad hominem attack?
Mollie Tibbetts and the Yemeni children would be alive today were it not for the policies of the U.S. government.
The illegal aliens need to be deported.
Arms need to stop going to the Saudis.
No sale.
The “policies of the US government” affect about 95% of everything.
The left does not want to pay attention to the murders of young American women by illegal aliens because:
A) they don’t care
B) it’s an important campaign issue
C) aliens matter more than citizens to them
D) all of the above
Documentation? Oh, of course not – if we wanted to see the source of such silly comments we would require the assistance of a doctor with a flashlight.
(Comments which are ad hominem attacks and therefore a sign of a weak intelligence. Or so I’m told.)
The right blows one murder far, far out of proportion because “important campaign issue” and because they believe that the life of one white girl is more important than the lives of fifty “other.”
The left believes that EACH of those fifty are just as valuable as the one white girl. (which means that the Yemeni toll is fifty times worse … hello?)
I’ve tried to explain that before. Can you explain why it’s such a difficult concept for you to grasp?
But of course, Mr. Jellyby. The deaths of people far, far away are always more important than, as one of yours put it it, ” some girl in Iowa.”
> The deaths of people far, far away are always more important than …
eh-hem.
“The left believes that EACH of those fifty are just as valuable as the one white girl.”
…
” Can you explain why it’s such a difficult concept for you to grasp?”
Still waiting …
