      And you know what? The majority of the germans on the front line did too. But they'd been hoodwinked in to thinking that the jews were satan himself.

        Yes I think that was kind of the point of the song. You remember it right? Sting.

          I think that one must have gone over my head I'm afraid. But yes, I see that's what you were getting at now.

          Point is, there's suck vitriol hurled from one side to the other, so many people fail to even say one good thing about the other side, and especially their nominee. How many republicans can find something good to say about Hillary? How many democrats can praise Trump for something? And the same story, you ask the average democrat, and they'll tell you republicans are all exclusively racist, sexist bigots who want to run the country according to the bible. You ask an average republican and democrats are all lazy scroungers that want to take your hard earned money and give it to those eternal shirkers.

            As for HRC. She is probably a very intelligent woman. She has a lot of political experience. She's a great speaker. She has potential to add-value to Washington. The problem is perception. For me, and my wife says the same thing about her, HRC appears to have this persona that is superficial and that behind closed doors, she is probably not any different than Donald Trump. She wears elitism as if it were a merit badge, to be proudly displayed. Her inability to foreshadow how she managed emails, Benghazi, her campaign, Bill, the Clinton Foundation, the media, and all the collusion and corruption with foreign dignitaries was tantamount to her election downfall.

                Sorry, I should refrain from using big words, I know. Oh, 'refrain from' means stop, btw.

                It means to trick, or deceive. Like, 'madoff hoodwinked people into giving him money'.

                  I'm afraid the point Cleve is trying to make is that he doesn't believe anyone was actually Hoodwinked into believing Jews are Satan like he believes.

                    Great song. Love Sting.

                    Anyway, I would agree that most people want all those things. Sadly, I'm not sure everyone wants this one though:

                    "We want to welcome hard-working, decent people from wherever, regardless of race/religion/gender etc"

                    Because a lot of people are angry that immigrants are taking 'their' jobs, because apparently it's okay to have competition between businesses but not between potential employees. Even when we want the same things, we'll disagree on the solution. One side will say the solution is to not let them into the country, another side will say the solution is to make the people who feel like 'their' jobs are being taken more competitive in getting those jobs or getting better ones through education.

                        That's a good point and I am very surprised that it's not the Democrat Union voters who are most against illegal immigration or immigration in general. Nobody expects Americans to pick grapes or do landscaping for 7 or 8 bucks an hour but carpenters construction workers drywall hangers even a lot of factory workers don't need a great deal of skill or education and those jobs have been done by union workers in the past. Of course that percentage is shrinking but it's also shrinking the ranks of the unions.

                        Not to mention doctors from India in the Middle East. I wonder what the AMA thinks of that?

                        Hence my continued support for a guest-worker program.

                            Well I can tell you my mother was an MD/PhD in Egypt and when we immigrated to the USA she had to start from the ground up (working in lab collecting specimens which is typically technician's work). She eventually rose to top hospital administration but the system here makes immigrant doctors work for it. Given doctors hold people's lives in their hands, I am glad that immigrant doctors are held to a high standard.
