Enima,
What’s new? Your ability to comprehend anything is a challenge for you unless it’s from MSN, CNN, The Village Voice , etc.etc.

never pretended to be a christian let alone a good one ...

She is so stupid that she decries “weaponization” of scripture and without taking a breath “weaponizes” it to berate the opponents of her agenda. A pineapple has a higher IQ. I doubt it even occurred to her that she did exactly what she was complaining about. Self righteous folks seldom do.

Exactly.

And you made a big blunder about her IQ. She's smart.

Enima,
You calling AOC smart is an example of why we all know you are stupid.

Scriptures have been weaponized from day one religion was started!

Well that at least puts her IQ legal above naki.....mangina....lil mikey....

No shit!

It's past time to leave primitive superstitions behind, at least as an influence on public policy.

To be fair though, IQ is not a reliable measure of wiseness, or open mindedness, or ability, or independent thinking.

Id be surprised, M.E., if, Given your recognition of the religious condition, you dod not recognise a level of fundamentalist behaviour about her.

To be fair, Shanks, unwiseness, close mindedness, poor ability and skills, susceptible to and believing in lies, is a fairly reliable clue as to low IQ.

Prompted by your second sentence above I listened to the OP clip again. Yes, I see what might be called fundamentalism in her rant. I don't see dogma regurgitated. I see care for humanity and morals. That doesn't have to be tethered to a religion, and IMO it's best when not religious based.

Let's not get overzealous with inferences about her. I just said that she's smart.

The Shamans, Sorcerers, of the tribes just got better at their snake oil lubricated proselytizing over time.

I can think of no better recent example of weaponizing Christianity than the KKK.

Some other not-so-recent examples - the Crusades.

An example of Muslim weaponization:

First Barbary War
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Barbary_War
(1801–1805)

(excerpt)

According to Robert Davis, between 1 and 1.25 million Europeans were captured by Barbary pirates and sold as slaves between the 16th and 19th centuries.[9]

Barbary corsairs led attacks upon American merchant shipping in an attempt to extort ransom for the lives of captured sailors, and ultimately tribute from the United States to avoid further attacks, as they had with the various European states.[10]

In March 1786, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams went to London to negotiate with Tripoli's envoy, ambassador Sidi Haji Abdrahaman (or Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja). When they enquired "concerning the ground of the pretensions to make war upon nations who had done them no injury", the ambassador replied:

It was written in their Koran, that all nations which had not acknowledged the Prophet were sinners, whom it was the right and duty of the faithful to plunder and enslave; and that every mussulman who was slain in this warfare was sure to go to paradise. He said, also, that the man who was the first to board a vessel had one slave over and above his share, and that when they sprang to the deck of an enemy's ship, every sailor held a dagger in each hand and a third in his mouth; which usually struck such terror into the foe that they cried out for quarter at once.[22]

Low IQ, then yes probably you are right. But most people don't fit that description.
I think she is smart too, and dedicated. But I also see she is highly dishonest and driven by an ideal that's isn't correct.

Well, it's gonna take more than the video in the OP, and commentary, to convince me of that.

OTOH, there is vast evidence that Trumpism's flock fits that description.

Before we start down the track of equivalences...

Is my statement about her wrong?

I saw a fact check on AOC recently, and on those particular statements she made the ratings were false.

"ideal that isn't correct" is subjective.

I didn't claim that she's faultless. I just said she's smart.

Fair enough. It was a minor point I was raising anyway. Not really worth a full on debate over.
