I for one refuse to give you a pass on what you did to us by helping elect a convicted felon, tax-dodging, woman abusing, self-aggrandizing, serial adulterer and chronic liar to the most powerful position on the planet. To ruin us financially and security-wise, destroy our reputation, sell our public lands, gut environmental laws, and treat illegal aliens like dogs. You own that mistake of shoddy judgment.

You're going to preach about Americans being divided enough? When you voted for the Great Divider who is now trying to usurp power from both Congress and the courts? You're a laugh a minute. You don't even see the irony, I bet. More laughter at that thought. Easy enough to be magnamous when your own detestable candidate has won the election.

Be honest now: character doesn't matter a whit to you and your ilk. How could it? That's like asking how you can sleep nights or look in a mirror. Questions that doubtless never occur to you, and are unfathomable to thinking people.

We will never be friends. We'll never belong to the same club, group, team, or tribe. I'll never share a beer with you. As a patriot, I see your actions as a betrayal of America.

I have met the enemy, and he is YOU.

Now go back to whatever forum you frequent. I am a patriot, and reading your name, and a few other's here, makes me ill.

Antisemitism is rather confusing to me now. 85 years ago, it was right wing nazis who were targeting jews for extermination. That was wrong and I think everyone can agree with that. But maybe not?

Now, it is the left that supports people who want to exterminate or persecute jews. Look at Harvard University. Look at the Democrats supporting protesters against Jews and Israel. These aren't peaceful protesters obviously as borne out by recent events.

I don't find antisemitism confusing at all. I believe it's evil, simple, Biblical evil. I believe antisemitism is the hatred for everything Godly, certainly a hatred for God's Chosen people.

But not just antisemitism, evil is what propels so much of human atrocities. Man wasn't born to be a rapist or pedophile, man wasn't born with the natural ability to maim and destroy. A baby born in a vacuum doesn't know how to or even want to murder, pillage or destroy, that's taught to them. Evil pursues it's victims, be they the instruments or the victims of evil.

And no M.E. I don't think my opinion has to be Christian or faith or religious based. There could be other explanations for evil as a force, but it certainly isn't the Big Bang theory or Evolution as in a fish walked out of the ocean and the sun gave it hate.

Evil certainly is a force, an entity, a power.
That man could just naturally rape, mutilate, kill babies isn't believable.

He says it somewhere in this interview. I didn't listen to the whole thing because I can't stand to listen to the man. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news...IAo?ocid=socialshare

He also said something like this nation is unique because it was founded on Christian beliefs.

What he doesn't say or believe is that this nation is unique because of separation of church and state with a secular constitution and rule of law.

Think of it - Israel does not recognize separation of church and state, nor does all the Islamic countries. There's the church of England, etc.

We can see a problem therein, but Christians can't see the problem they want. Fortunately the Founders saw it. Now Christians want to "correct" all that.

In that respect, the same could be said for "good".
History shows us who is evil is determined by the ones that claim it first and loudest. But, that doesnt mean the claim cant change. Winners usually decide that.
A serial killer isnt evil, they are sick. They should be identified and put down for the continuance of society without panic. But, the label "evil" for some reason settles people better.

You're a liar, theback40. I never said that.

I said that in my ideal voting system, people would get extra votes for owning property, educating themselves, and accomplishing valuable things like starting a business. In other words, more votes for more skin in the game.

As I recall, I also said my system was unworkable and probably unconstitutional.

Go make stuff up about someone else. My post wasn't addressed to you.

Scott, I'm not convinced that the Jews are what they say they are, if they claim to be God's chosen people. I don't care how long they've been claiming it. To you, I guess, they are the historical God's chosen people because their Torah says so.

Just about every culture on earth thinks they're God's chosen people. The name they call themselves usually translates as "the people." As I recall, one such "the people" is the Inupiat culture of NW Alaska.

I don't know what white lesbians have to do with it. Lots of people right now don't like what Israel is doing to the people of Gaza. I'm one of them. That doesn't mean I hate the Jews.

I was raised Catholic and was not taught the Jews are God's chosen people. They once were--in the OT. But that changed when the Church began accepting non-Jews as Christians. The modern Church teaches that we're all God's chosen people. No one starts life with either an advantage or disadvantage so far as salvation is concerned.

What does it do to your self-esteem to be a Christian and believe that someone else is more favored out of the gate than you are?

Of course I'm an elitist--if that means speaks the truth, no matter how politically incorrect. I deserve the term and embrace it.

I have two post-graduate degrees, and I EARNED them. No one gave them to me. They didn't come easily. I had to work hard for them, and my wife and I made economic sacrifices to get them. I don't take kindly to having my education dismissed as useless or worthless. (Don't get riled, Shanks, I'm not talking about you.)

Why don't more people in the US respect education, as they do in most of the world? The acquisition of knowledge is a noble endeavor.

Instead, there is an ignorant class who treat education with suspicion and contempt. It's just boneheaded stupidity.

I'm not going to pretend it's okay, just to be Mr. Popular.

You want to know how elitist I can be? I think votes should be weighted according to achievement and merit. An uneducated moron should not have a vote equal to mine. Or yours. If the great unwashed have taught us anything this year, it's that they can't be trusted to vote rationally. They're willing to put the nuclear codes in the hands of an insurrestionist who violated his oath of office, a criminal who was convicted of fraud. Trump's background and actions should have been disqualifying immediately, regardless of policy. That'how a more moral population would have handled it, back in the 1950s some yearn for.

You should get an extra vote for having a college degree. Overall, those with degrees contribute more than Joe Moron to our taxes and society.

You should get an extra vote for starting or running a business (including a farm or ranch), since you contribute more to society and taxes.

You should get an extra vote for completing military service honorably.

You should get an extra vote for investing X amount of dollars. They also contribute more than Joe.

There are other extra vote situations I would support, but can't think of at the moment. Recall that conservatives like to remind us we're a republic, not a democracy. They're right.

Okay--fire away.

Suppose we're in a boat in stormy seas. Water starts coming over the gunnels. Some of us grab buckets and bail.

Then we notice that others among the crew are drilling holes in the hull.

And you think the rest of us should make friends with and forgive the hole-drillers?

I decline. The hole-drillers have cost our nation wealth, made our society even more divisive, and hurt our goodwill abroad. People in other countries are laughing at us--when they're not hating us.

The hole-drillers are trying to grab power from the courts (the way they already neutered Congress) and institute a Christian theocracy. Ignoring the Constitution to do so.

They treat illegal migrants like animals...but that's all right, because we're all good ole boys.

I don't require your forgiveness.

Your damn right I want him to fail. I oppose Trumpism and will do it vocally. I have no reason to slink away in shame--he didn't get MY vote.

Trumpism has nothing to do with Americanism; it's all about Trump. Don't you get it yet?

I want Trump to fail at all he's promised to do. Were you paying attention to what he said?

I'd rather not say i insist, but I certainly think so. My experiences and observations as a kid, adult, man and father are inexplicable without some kind of Boogieman, ( evil) entity to lay blame on.

As for tangible, I don't know what to say other than there seems to be a lot of intangible things we believe in.
