I dont want that, and most of the West don't want that. But there are ME Nations where being tied to their religion and as they are sovereign nations we must respect that. I do not think that will ever end well. The Spartans ruined their nation by trying to manage slavery at too high a level. Soon they were dedicating more time to slave mgt than it was worth and they slowly lagged further and further behind the rest of the city-states.

To compare the foundational texts of three of the largest active world religions to Egyptian Hieroglyphs of a religion and culture that died thousands of years ago shows an amazing anti-intellectualism on your part. I can explain it to you, I cant comprehend it for you.

There are crazies all over the world...

Your debate technique in a very few words: Blindly quote a narrative by the party. Read an avalanche of evidence that disavows said talking points. Rinse and repeat debunked talking points as if nothing happened. Throw out 100 Whataboutisms about why your guy doesn't suck as bad as the other guy. Day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ I don't know why you even come here. I really don't, other to cement yourself as the most tone-deaf poster on the board. Elections are referendums by the populace on who should lead. What do the US Voters think of the two parties???? https://www.reuters.com/world/us/americans-dismayed-by-biden-trump-2024-rematch-reutersipsos-poll-finds-2024-01-25/ Trump vs. Biden: The rematch many Americans don't want Trump's six-point lead held even when respondents were given the option of voting for third-party candidates, including anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr., with Trump drawing 36% support, Biden 30% and Kennedy 8%. Slightly more than half of respondents said they were dissatisfied with the U.S. two-party system, with just one in four satisfied by it. Whitney Tallarico, 33, a consultant interviewed in Washington, is among those considering an alternative. "The independents don't really have a voice. Polarizing characters usually take the front seat, and it's a little sad for our country," Tallarico said this week. Asked whether she would vote for Biden or Trump, she said, "I'll probably go for a third party." AGE ISSUE [1 Overall, the poll gave numerous signs that voters are not happy with their choices. Seventy percent of respondents - including about half of Democrats - agreed with a statement that Biden should not seek re-election. Fifty-six percent of people responding to the poll said Trump should not run, including about a third of Republicans. derail his presidential bid.

Evangelicals can be zealots. But Zealotry is a quantum level or more above mere hard-headed ignorance. Zealotry is taking views and stances that are not even part of your religion anymore. It is thinking, that You can force God to do what you want him to. See Masada and the Fall of Jerusalem. The saddest thing I ever read was Josephus, a good Jew writing about how screwed up the Zealots were in Jerusalem.

I know you cant disengage from the narrative talking points to think that we should hold anyone accountable or anything like that. No, you are okay that people don't get healthcare, and that kids have been stuck in failing schools for three generations now. All you care about is some lame-ass loyalty to a party that cashed out decades ago.

Dont care, expecting God to handle the repopulation, the Jews were always there, of Israel is something only a true Zealot would even think is a good standard to live by.

Zealotry, it seems, is alive and well in the 21st Century. Sad.

homey, this one is one of your best evers.

I have heard rumblings of this for two years now. They are trial ballooning this soon.

Of course SS is nothing more than a part of your retirement. As Dave Ramsey has been teaching for decades: "If you think you are retiring on SS, you better like the taste of dog food." In my life, I have a pension, a 401K, a settlement with the USN that pays me monthly, plus a side hustle. I am not even taking SS until I hit 67 because we are that satisfied.

So what you think we should do is to continue to trust the same people who have failed for four decades and place faith in them that the next time they will get it right while fully knowing they are owned and work with, and for, people whose interest is diametrically opposed to most Americans? That isn't nihilism, it is just using your brain and realizing that we need to try something completely new, keep doing the same failed system that we have now.

They have no plan other than propaganda.

And...normal and expectable parameters have sucked for forty years or more. It's why our educational system has fallen from 2nd to 18th worldwide while idiots and morons fiddle on the Titanic. And why dumbasses support parties for no other reason than this. Murica! Where the Sane and Educated are ruled by the Lazy and Stupid.

Our lines of outrage are completely different. 1) The Dems maybe be a nickel better. 2) They both still suck raw ass and could not care less for the nation nor the nation's people. 3) The parties are filled to the brim with people sold out for power and money. It's like picking between the Nazis or the Fascists. They are both rotten to the core. If you cant see that, you are the problem.

I think we could easily do it. I'll provide some numbers later. But Brother, it is cosmically evil when an elderly person has to decide between her copay and her meds. I have a friend right now that has been off Eliquis for 14 months because they cannot afford it. iIs either he has Eliquis or they can see the grandkids, take an occasional trip, etc. I worked with good honest hard working Judeao-Christian Work Ethic people that had the gall to get sick late in life and learn that all they saved was gone in an instant. "Get Sick, File Bankruptcy" is their sick joke-take on their lives. One lady at church got cancer. For her decades of working a great job in the auto industry she left her family about $1500 in furniture and rent on a 500 sq ft house. THIS MUST END.

I was working on the DM to give you my apology directly but YOU.WERE.RIGHT. Saagar keeps having UFO moments and Ball is truly from the bat-crap-crazy wing of the Progressives. I mean the ES&B@M part of the movement.

I like RFKjr, he is a fresh set of eyes on the nation's issues. However, when he was with the Sierra Club, he told so many lies about the US Navy I lost all respect for him. Science, Reason, and Truth mean little to him when is trying to make a point.

Easter Sunday. Christians should do the right thing & expand Medicaid coverage for the poor ALL. FTFY...

I cant say that I use XYZ News service. I use multiple and vary them. Just cause a news org got something completely wrong doesn't mean that everything they do is bad. I compare and contrast news stories and get a fuller picture. Reuters, BBC, CNN, RCP, and others. I have completely left Breaking Points after some really horrible interviews they did left with the inevitable conclusion that they were no better than MSNBC/Fox.

Then fine, just stop asking for the Fed Govt to bankroll it when it craters.

Well, you have to seek truth before you can dispense it. And you have to seek it from honest sources, not just propaganda media outlets.

Just give the rates as they were under Republican President Eisenhower.
