The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The Church of the AK-47. AR-15. Autofire. The Holy Hand Grenade. And so on.

Tucker Carlson weighted in on the new USian civil religion. The USian civil religion used to be civil rights/human rights. Now, we have a new civil religion: "Israelism". In his monologue he talks about the official definition of "antisemitism", as adopted by nearly 40 US states, other countries, and numerous organizations, that make criticism of the policies of the current Israeli government, essentially, blasphemy. He also touches on Hannity's criticism of the Pope, and says that Hannity is NOT espousing the teachings of Christianity, where violence and greed are bad, but of the new religion "Israelism".

The discussion of "Israelism" starts around the 41 minute mark.

There is also a section, starting around the 33 minute mark, about a week long remembrance event going on in DC. The event concerns WWII, but not remembrance of everyone who died. Only the Jews. No mention of the many others the Nazis murdered. No mention of the quarter million US soldiers who died, and the many more lost by the allies. He suggests this narrow view of those lost in the war, is motivated by guilt. I have also suspected the US has, for 80 years, leaned way, way, over backward, to aid Israel, due to guilt over not ending the Nazi horror sooner.
