Do you see Democrats’ celebration of the late John McCain as convenient anti-Trump hypocrisy, or is it sincere?
I believe it is Guilt with a capital “G”. The Democrats, if they had been so inclined would have seen that John McCain was a “gift” to America, and those who were so vicious to him should have instead rallied around him to unite our country during the 2008 Election cycle. Yeah I know the Democrats had to have their own candidate because that is how the game is played. But to take a basically unqualified first term senator whose claim to fame was “community Organizer” and then to launch a filthy campaign against McCain by shaming anyone who didn’t vote for their candidate by labeling them racist was just too much.America wanted to feel good about themselves and to prove to the world that they, without bias, could and would dump their “favorite son, their hero” to elect a black man, no matter how little experience he had. His blackness was the most important qualification OBama possessed.I am not predudiced so let me say it loud and clear. I would have voted for and would have welcomed a black candidate with the right experience. I actually had hoped that Colin Powell would have vied for the job back in his coherent days. Do not answer or comment to my answer with any racist comments. I am not a racist. I further believe that George Bush was unqualified to be president. I base this on his lack of economic experience and his eagerness to wage senseless wars. But I’ll say it again ; we (Americans) lost an opportunity to have a great man as our president because we were “color blind”. The campaign was about “blackness” and in that category, McCain just couldn’t compete. After it was all over the 8 year disaster began. America owed McCain and we didn’t deliver. We paid for our “reverse” prejudice. Yes, when John McCain died it was Guilt that we gushed. Shame on us .
Why did many Republicans find Huma Abedin's supposed connections with Muslim Brotherhood to be significant, but are unconcerned with the proven links of Giuliani, Bolton, Gingrich, and Elaine Chao to the Iranian group Mujahadeen e-Khalq?
They’re hypocrites. MEK, better known as the Cult of Rajavi, was only removed from the State Department list of terrorist organization to facilitate their transfer from their Iraqi military bases donated to them by Saddam Hussein, and when other countries refused to take them in.They have no base of support inside Iran or abroad, usually flying just anyone to their meetings in exchange for a cheap holiday. Their total membership base is less than 3,000 people, enough to fill the first two rows at these meetings and using the non-Iranian “extras” in the back to wave flags.John Bolton and Rudy Giuliani have received hundreds of thousands of dollars to appear at these meetings, however these paid “supporters” also come from the other side of the American political scene as well with former Governor Howard Dean and even one of the Kennedy clan members (Congressman Patrick Kennedy), plus those considered somewhere in between, like John McCain.Here are some of the these cast of characters they have been able to buy with vast Saudi money available to them and assistance of AIPAC, Israel’s lobbying arm in DC, posing with the public face of their leadership and the wife of their leader, Massoud Rajavi:Rudy Giuliani, Maryam Rajavi, Elaine ChoMaryam Rajavi with Senator John McCainHoward Dean addressing the MEK gatheringFormer speaker Newt Gingrich bowing to the cult leader Maryam Rajavi
Why do Vietnamese Americans support the USA's wars in around the world?
As a Vietnamese Pole, I don’t think Vietnamese Americans are typically pro-American war policy too far.But it is clear the loss of South Vietnam, which was a democratic but much like… puppet (due to historical issue), had made the Vietnamese abroads to have a pain. Especially, Vietnamese Americans.They owned a serious debt because the US supported them, and also most of them are Protestants and Catholics (you might realize majority Vietnamese in the US are now Christians), they believe that the United States must restore its might, or justice. War was justified. Pro-American adapted. And an serious moves to happen.Republican Party has a similar tendency of supporting nationalistic or pro-American hawkish policies. Vietnamese Americans are viewed as hawkish, and that fits the Republicans. Many years, I have seen many Vietnamese Americans from some states such as Louisiana, Washington, New York or smaller community ones like Oregon, Michigan, Wisconsin, Massachusetts, voted for Republicans. But at least those in California aren’t Republicans. Note that they even voted Bush at 2004, McCain in 2008, that’s for sure.I as a Vietnamese from Poland also understands this a lot. I hope this situation would be resolved, but if this Communist Government continues to limit the people’s rights to talk and try to censor, it would be a trouble.
