    I’m sorry Horace I thought maybe you’d be consistent In classifying willful ignorance as lying. I should have known better.

    Willful ignorance is lying, and if Larry or anybody else was being willfully ignorant of anything, they were lying. I'm not convinced he was.

    Education is extremely important.

      Ok Larry, so you’re conceding the Democratic ‘regular guys’ did say it.

      Just want to clear that up.

      Only non-witches get due process.

        This makes two things you lied about and then tried to accuse me of ignorance, Jon. Don't do it again or I'll make you listen to Ax play the piano for an hour...

          What the hell... I'm not conceding, that's what I've been saying all along. YOU are the one who switched from talking about the "regular people" to the public convention.

          Come on, Jon. You're not this stupid.

            You're right. In the broadcasted parts of the DNC convention, you know, the parts which the public saw, "under God" was included. In several committee meetings (not available to the public) it was omitted.

                You're right. I have no knowledge whether these proceedings are available to the public. Presumably they are.

                However, they were not broadcast to the millions of people who watched the DNC convention.

                Why were some parts which omitted the "under God" not broadcast while those parts which included it, indeed broadcast? Why are the Democrats ashamed to show diversity of opinion?

                    We must be careful in how much we show how much information is being withheld from democrats. Their heads might implode.

                              And in other news, AOC is upset about Kasick getting to speak for 5 minutes but she was only given 60 seconds.

                              She said "You'd think they could at least given me a minute..."

                                    Looking forward to seeing that, should it occur.

                                    In the meantime, why are Democrat Muslims afraid to say "Under God?" Are they afraid of the language ("Allah" vs "God")?

                                    Are they ashamed?

                                    I'd really like to know.

                                    Please let me know your thoughts, and...of course. thanks in advance.

                                    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                      Looking forward to seeing that, should it occur.

                                      The eagle can almost smell the bunny, it's so close. Hopping to and fro on the Serengeti plain. Juicy, plump, delicious. Will the eagle swoop in for the kill? Time will tell!

                                        I have two pieces of advice and one suggestion for you:

                                        1. Do not generalize one video showing "one Democrat Muslim" saying the Pledge of Allegiance one way and think that "all Democrat Muslims" would also say it the same way.

                                        2. Do not assume that the omission is due to fear or shame. At this point, it does not look like you have enough information to make either inference.

                                        3. Consider talking to Democrat Muslims you know and see what they have to say about this.

                                        You are welcome.

                                          Yeah George, I agree. Don't be so provincial.

                                          Just look in your rolodex under D for "democrat Muslims."
