A Very Long Read. It Will Tax Your Attention Span

[Ponca Dan]

But it goes into great detail why so many Jews are aghast at what Zionism has become and what it is doing to the Jewish religion. A great read.

Memories of Jewish suffering at the hands of Nazis are the foundation on which most descriptions of extreme ideology and...

No, I don’t do Cliff Notes, it takes away from the intent of the author. It is an excellent read albeit very long. Read it in segments. Or don’t read it at all. But if you do read it I think you will be impressed. It’s neither garbage nor poorly written, your two main excuses not to read a link.

My wife’s family has a nice business selling smokers to restaurants. Their smokers cook the best pulled pork you’d ever want to eat!

Reads like every white guilt piece.

I posted that for others who may open this thread. It wasn’t a link for you to read which is why I didn't quote your post.

I can’t make you read it, Medic, and wouldn’t if I could. IMO if you don’t read it you’ll be depriving yourself of a very important message.

 

[Ponca Dan]

Yeah, well,

Slather some BBQ sauce on some pork ribs, Woody, pull up a cold one while you eat them and read the link! You could use a little culture!

They’re “aghast” because Judaism is not really their religion. Liberalism is.

When you don’t read the link, even a little of it, and make a comment like this you look like a fool.

Nobody but you seems to think this. I’ll take it!

LOL. Dan telling someone they look like a fool. Priceless.

You’re not a very good wing man.

Of course you will. It’s the best you’ll ever get.

 

[Alpha Woke]

No, it doesn’t.

Yes, it does.

It’s the exact same template.

Same reaction.

It made Libs into emotional teenage girls.

Oddly, your acct now reads like a teenager that just got dumped.

I can’t make you read it, Medic, and wouldn’t if I could. IMO if you don’t read it you’ll be depriving yourself of a very important message.

And what's that important message, Dan?

 

[Ponca Dan]

Yes, it does.

It’s the exact same template.

No, it does none of that. Look, Medic, it’s understandable that you’re upset that you made a fool of yourself yesterday. But that’s no reason to lash out and say things about the article that are blatant lies. The article didn’t make you look foolish yesterday. You did that all on your own.

 

[Ponca Dan]

And what's that important message, Dan?

Read it and find out.

You linked propaganda.

And you have flexible morals.

You’re really leaning into your new lib overlords.

Huh? Are you OK?

It's not propaganda. It's a detailed and historical explanation of a conclusion reached by a very educated and very intelligent man who has studied the subject for most of his adult life. Disagree with it if you want, but rebut his arument if you can rather than heap abuse on a man you know nothing about and an article you clearly haven't bothered to read before opining.

 

[Medic007]

Read it and find out.

I did. What's the important message?

 

[Ponca Dan]

Huh? Are you OK?

Yeah, sorry, Medic. I'm busy trying to get people out the door to work while on this board and wasn't paying attention to whom I was responding. Should I retract my comment?

 

[Ponca Dan]

I would believe you read it if I believed you read it, but I don't.

 

[Medic007]

Retract your comment? Uh, yes? No? I'm just checking on your well being. Your posts are starting to look like you might need another break from the board to gather yourself.

 

[Medic007]

I would believe you read it if I believed you read it, but I don't.

Uh huh. So the message is so important that you can't articulate it?

I don't have the ability to sum up a 20,000 word essay in a sentence or two. You claim to have read it, why don't you give your two sentence edited version of what he said?

Stop it, Mediic, just stop it. You're better than such juvenile blather.

You routinely type essays on here so I'm not sure why you'd need to limit such an important message to a sentence or two.

How many times does he discuss the Israeli hostages that Hamas (he barely mentions them) still holds?

I know you can’t tell the difference.

You believe propaganda.

You’ve even adopted their tone and verbiage.

Stop it, Mediic, just stop it. You're better than such juvenile blather.

You’re trying too hard to salvage your damaged reputation, Medic. You would be wiser to let people forget how badly you did yesterday.

If you need BBQ sauce on ribs, you are doing something wrong but I do agree with the cold one.

This is what happens.

The delusion starts to creep into everything.

I think it’s time we all just tolerate declining Dan until someone in his family comes along and signs him off from this message board for the last time.
