except it does actually say it.....

i knew you were being tricky.

there are 4 versions and you only read the one that suited your bias the most?

I know it says it. It says it in the version that's in law. But it was taken out of context, and twisted to mean something else.

not at all.

the original context was alluding to the fact that jews have too much power in the USA.

just the fact that this bill was proposed confirms that. never mind it actually got passed into law.. albiet watered down. but still....

  • I don't consider this claim to be true, fwiw. That aside:
  • I think we're using different meanings of "context", here. My "original context" is the one in the published law from which the text is taken.
