Re: Values Voters Gaining Strength

sec·u·lar·ism /ˈsekyələˌrizəm/ noun the principle of separation of the state from religious institutions. I believe in God and I'm a secularist. Was Erasmus a practicing catholic and an atheist? I might be the secularist next door but I don't consider myself overly materialistic. In fact, my ex who...

Re: Values Voters Gaining Strength

The atheists and the others on the extreme left in this country don't have values. They have stances or positions. Secularism ≠ atheism Every history books says you're wrong. You see, there is a huge difference between the secularist who lives next to you and the secularist who is politically activ...

Re: Values Voters Gaining Strength

The extreme left in this country doesn't have values. They have stances or positions. What you are calling the "extreme left" does have values. They are radically egalitarian. I think that sometimes they are unrealistic. But they have values. They do not. They are radically anarchistic. T...

Re: Values Voters Gaining Strength

“Secular” values that is. Is this good or bad for America? Given the association between Trumpism, Covid denial, and evangelicals, I’d say it’s obviously a good thing. I would trust the values and grace of a proclaimed atheist over an evangelical these days: “On issues that the religious right has ...

Re: The Democratic Base

The difference is that the Republican base consists of the type of people who enabled Hitler and Mussolini.

And the Democratic base has actually elected the type of people who enabled Stalin and Mao.

Re: 2020 General Election

That's essentially Trump's argument about voter fraud and a stolen election. It's totally true b/c he says so even though he's provided zero evidence to back up his claims. It's been nearly a month and we've seen zero evidence of fraud on a scale so massive that it would flip a state. 4 dimensional...

I don't recall the Washington Post establishing a "lie count" for G.W. Bush, G.H.W. Bush, or Reagan. The reason a lie count has been established for Trump is that he lies WAY more than any other President of our lifetime has. And it's very blatant. There is no comparison. It is true that ...
