My former name was saintsfan. I am a huge Beatles fan. I had the original Beatles thread that went over the history of the band. I was gone for a while, came back and couldn't figure out how to unlock my account. So I started this new one and contributed heavily to the Beatles thread that is there now.
Well I am a huge Beatles fan too. So maybe you are me after all.
I threw my vote away the last time and voted for a pro life Christian candidate because turd sandwich vs giant ##### wasn't appealing
Sure, you can vote on those belief. Part of living how you see fit. But your quote was how religious beliefs/God/Bible plays into upholding the laws/rules of the United States.
It might just be a Trump phenomenon. Usually, I can stomach whatever flaws I think the Republican candidate has, but it's more like Trump has revealed the ugly underbelly and right now, I'm not sure what the Trump voters even stand for, other than hating everybody not like them and conspiracy theories
We are not told to judge. We judge whether or not someone committed a crime, but we don't judge people's humanity
If he thought he could grift more people and get more votes I have little doubt he would.
So if the bible says homosexuality is immoral but the Constitution says all men are created equal, should our laws be inclusive of homosexuals even if you're a Christian? The only correct answer is yes, our laws must not discriminate against homosexuals even your religious text of choice says otherwise.
Every single thing in your last few posts is not a shock to a single person who understands what sin is.
'32 is an election or two early. But by 2040 eligible voters who have no meaningful recollection of Ronald Reagan will outnumber those who do by about a 2-to-1 margin.
Those younger voters will be older, and wealthier, and at that point they will, for the most part, reject the high taxation that socialism demands.
She'll moderate, too. But the overall electorate will keep moving left until they meet her coming from the other direction.
Seems weird to talk about how the Democratic party could be more extreme in a decade or two when the GOP has ALREADY become beholden to their extreme elements.
It’s not that I don’t sympathize with your ideas. I do. We need to do something about climate change and we may very well be forced to accept leftist solutions to that problem mainly because the right refuses to address it at all.
Pretty much. Couple of Bernie bros right out of nursing school during the last election. Now that they are making some real money, they were mocking him today about wanting to tax corporations at 95% over the next couple years.
Agreed. Many will still vote the party line because a good percentage is voting for "their" party come hell or high water, but many moderates and independents either have jumped ship or will jump ship on the GOP as long as Trump and his clown show rules the party. It is hard to take a party seriously when Trump is the leader of it.
I recently saw a Dave Chappelle interview from 2004 and he said a joke like "I was into Kerry but now that I got all this money, Bush is looking kind of good."
Just like any other system, left unchecked, socialism is going to fail in it's purist form. So is capitalism. These have been true statements from day one. The largest problem in front of us at the moment is being able to identify what actual socialism is vs what it isn't. In this country's political landscape, "socialism" merely means "something I don't like/think is a good idea". You look no further than the labeling of universal healthcare as socialism but not labeling our COVID vaccine rollout as such.
They don't "become conservative" as they age - and the current younger cohort even less so - they just appear so relative to the newer younger generations.
So I have been told by many people. But so many of these “changing trends” have been repeated so many times in our history that it’s hard for me to get truly excited about them. But I guess we will see.
Your comments here would be better directed against the strict constructionists on our Supreme Court than they are towards me.
IMO a bit is that they are running out of buttons to push that taps into the religious right portion of the party. Abortion is one they can keep hammering and piling on, and I don't see that one changing any time soon.
Are you saying that you don't think there is a correlation between "seriousness" of religion in one's life, and their lean towards one party - or especially a correlation between religion and how you would view abortion and vote on that topic?
Just to be clear, you are saying there is not a correlation between religion and how you view abortion?
My position is its not my body, so its not my choice. It’s also one of the least important issues for me.
If it ever were true, I certainly don't think that's the case any more. You yourself said that, "being the adults in the room doesn't work any more," which indicates to me that the GOP aren't (or shouldn't be) the adults in the room.
You can’t win on policy anymore. Most don’t understand it or care. Left wing wokists just want to shout silliness on social media.
Yeah, but I am not talking about you specifically. I am talking about people to who pro-life is the top or a top motivation to vote. IMO that stance more often than not is religiously motivated.
Hmmm, the previously Republican led Executive Branch shouted a ton of silliness, and much worse, on social media but I didn't see anyone from the GOP criticizing it. It was mostly applauded. Seems a bit hypocritical, no?
