....Conservatives...equal ..."SELFISHNESS"

In discussing the Conservative Movement (in a thread by CatWoman) it was mentioned that the word "selfishness"
describes the movement. John Kenneth Galbrath said it And that is the bottom line to all of it. Not wanting to
spend government money to help others is another way to put it. So many ways, such an easy definition

lastlib posted this in post 9 at this thread..Yes, lastlib is the one who quoted Galbrath. (great quote)

Republican Loren Boebert Apologizes for Anti-Muslim Comment against Ilihan Omar.

Yes, Boebert did make an Anti-Muslim Comment. There is a video somewhere. (Hard to believe that anyone who is a Rep in Congress would do something like this)...I hope someone finds the video...Yes, that's who Republicans are. I guess
this one belongs in latest news. Someone can post it there. (The apology came today, and the comment was a few days ago) I saw the video somewhere, it shows Boebert cares nothing about making a joke about a fellow colleague that is Muslim. And that is who she is, and that is what the Republican Party is.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) tweeted an apology to Muslims on Friday after Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) called her out for "anti-Muslim bigotry" over an anecdote she shared in a recent speech.

Hours later, Democratic leadership released a statement blasting Boebert's "Islamophobic and racist comments" and calling on their GOP counterparts to "finally take real action to confront racism.”

In a video of her speech, Boebert tells a story — which Omar says never happened — in which they are in an elevator together and a Capitol Police officer is hurrying toward the elevator as the door is closing.

"I look to my left, and there she is. Ilhan Omar. I said, ‘Well she doesn't have a backpack, we should be fine,’” Boebert told the laughing crowd.

Omar called Boebert a "buffoon" in a tweet about the video on Thursday. “Anti-Muslim bigotry isn’t funny & shouldn’t be normalized. Congress can’t be a place where hateful and dangerous Muslims tropes get no condemnation,” she wrote.

Marjorie Taylor Greene says that the blame for the Waukesha killings lies with the mainstream media, Democrats, and Joe Biden, bizarrely claiming they incited the murder of five people Sunday night’s parade in the town.

The Georgia representative tweeted: “After the widespread hateful reaction to the Rittenhouse verdict & dog whistle calls to radical BLM ground troops by the mainstream media, Democrats, and even the President of the United States, we must ask if they incited the mass murder in Waukesha, WI.”

The man taken into custody after an SUV drove into a Christmas parade on Sunday night is 39-year-old Milwaukee local Darrell Edward Brooks Jr, according to polic

https://www.pinterest.com/pin/310326230575934109/



I looked them. it got me addicted to see them all., but I knew the richest one from the very beginning.
Can You guess?....Well I looked at all 58 and their net worth, and he was not among them...YES IT WAS A BIG LIE..

Not among them?....Yes, the richest of them all is .........GEORGE LUCAS...WORTH OVER 6 BILLION.dollars.

Of all 58, none worth more than George Lucas, and Lucas was not mentioned And you know how he did it?................................. "Star Wars" and all that stuffand he sold the ..."Star Wars" ...To Disney for several Billion.
....no I don't know how much..you can look it up. (yes, I knew Lucas was worth more than those 59 mentioned...
I looked at them all, Lucas was not mentioned.

So I knew from the very beginning of the article at top, and they never mentioned the richest of them all.
....And I had to look up Gerogie by myself. ...Look up:.. George Lucas net worth...?

I looked and looked at the top link ...George was not there. I will look again to make sure..
