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...

Re: The Media -- Going Forward
Obviously, you are not aware that the highest court in the land to have reviewed the tapes, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, concluded in 2019 that the tapes were neither doctored, nor edited, nor misleading. You missed that because the mainstream media did not report it. T...

I've been saying for five years that the statements on the videos are not ambiguous. These folks are saying that they know PP has sold baby parts for profit. Those statements are pretty clear. We thereafter have had a lot of legal-smithing that the tapes contain "no evidence" that baby pa...

Re: The Media -- Going Forward
You want to know something? The mass media is a lie machine, far more out of control than Trump. As a Catholic, I can say with conviction that an incredible amount of things reported about the Catholic Church is highly distorted, or an outright lie. And the media will lie to protect favored organiz...

Re: The Media -- Going Forward
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 ...

Fox News isn't going to start a "lie count" for a politician who is loyal to the Republican party and its causes. There's a bias in the media and everyone is guilty of it. What is your point? That Trump said something we already knew? As if that makes up for his dishonesty? If a guy is ru...

From another thread. We all probably have friends from both groups. So which do you prefer to hang with?

Depends on the Republican's having a majority in the Senate. 4 more years of JSO complaining about Trump.
