Why bother with the GOP if this is all it has to offer?

[JettaKnight]

I wasn't mocking you.

Then I apologize.
Do forgive me for feeling like I'm stranger in strange land... even in my own tribe these days.

 

[JettaKnight]

I don't think they talk about that on NPR.

OK! That is mocking!

It is TRUMP HAMMER TIME…

 

[JettaKnight]

One fights the war the enemy delivers. Reagan was a different lifetime ago. You clearly do not know what time it is.

Reagan didn't fight Marxist?!

I suppose next you'll tell me we can't hold to values of Washington, Abraham, or Adams.


Great leaders know no boundary of time or enemy.

 

[jamil]

Every day you can learn something new, I guess.

I mean, you were around when all the libertarians were here. I'm thinking they had to reference the three boxes of liberty many times.

Not in the public schools he didn’t, Not in congress he didn’t.

 

[Tombs]

If you're on a gun forum and you have anything but contempt for Reagan, then you've been propagandized.

 

[JettaKnight]

I don't feel compelled to love a Marxist pedophile.

Welcome to Post-Christian America.

We love to claim we're a Christian nation! So long as that entails enforcing our traditional Christian values on others. It's a heck of lot harder to enforce the difficult Christian demands on ourselves. You know, the ones that can't be enforced by laws, but are a matter of the heart.


Let me posit this question: Who's worse? The Marxist pedophile or the Christian pedophile? Why would I be harder on the person without a moral compass?

 

[JettaKnight]

Somehow I missed it.

Or, to parrot Ingomike, "That's so 19th century."

I've always heard it mainly as the four boxes.

Soap box
Ballot box
Jury box
Cartridge box

But I have also heard 3 boxes from people who leave the soap box out.

Hmm. good hygiene is an important part of getting your message heard.

They weren't heavily embedded in government then I don't think. Hell, back then even CNN didn't like communism.

I suppose next you'll tell me we can't hold to values of Washington, Abraham, or Adams.

The fight isn't against Britain or slavery. It's against CownWorldLeft™. Against people who want a revolution. I just saw a tiktoc video of a woman who was trying to figure out how to feed the comrades after the revolution starts. Our education system is cranking these nutters out like big macs.

Yeah, I haven't heard the soap box either. But I think it fits. Four boxes it is then.

Why in the world would you say that either of these scumbags is in possession of a moral compass?

 

[jamil]

Welcome to Post-Christian America.

Well, not totally.

We love to claim we're a Christian nation! So long as that entails enforcing our traditional Christian values on others.

Honestly, as a non-believer, I don't love it when you guys start claiming that. It almost always involves a conversation having to do with imposing beliefs on society. I mean we just got cold beer sales on Sunday. Let's not take steps backwards.

Marxism is evil. Pedophilia is evil. Christianity is not, per se. Call it a Christian Nazi pedophile and we'll call it a tie. Is that what we're going for? We trying to figure out who wins the intersectionality of evil?

 

[jamil]

Why in the world would you say that either of these scumbags is in possession of a moral compass?

I'd say if the Christian is a pedophile that moral compass is broke and therefore worthless.

 

[JettaKnight]

One of them at least professes to follow. They have knowledge of right and wrong. They stand before others and tell them what they do in secret is evil. Parable of the seeds and sower- the seeds fell, they (presumably) grew...

Here's an article of what we both would call a degenerate. The difference between him and the Frisco queer is that he tried to hide it while living it. He (presumably) knew in his heart it was sinful.

The sad ending is he blew out his brains days after exposed.

 

[jamil]

But, this gets to kinda what I was getting at. There is no moral need to apologize. You need no forgiveness from me.

Edit:

I assign the label of "human" to everyone that's created in the image of God.

This is what I call polishing plastic. I suppose we all do it. Not just Christians.

I'm going to call that an agreement between us!

1) Alcohol on Sunday. That's a win in my book.
2) Whatever we were doesn't seem to influence what we are. Rules and regulations are the antithesis to Christianity since Jesus walked the earth. Christianity and power is somewhat volatile. One can argue that part of what started America was the escape from Christian domination. Granted it was a perverse domination, but in many ways that what you get.

Marxism is evil. Pedophilia is evil. Christianity is not, per se. Call it a Christian Nazi pedophile and we'll call it a tie. Is that what we're going for? We trying to figure out who wins the intersectionality of evil?

intersectionality? Yeah, I totally did not mean to go there...

Dude! I'm Midwestern nice! Blame my grandma.
