Anything? So a loss of the right to rape your neighbour's child is "authoritarian?" My goodness! The "loss of economic freedom," does that not seem to suggest to you that you should have the right to sacrifice anything -- including the ability of the earth to sustain the people on it -- for a profit? Do you see no limit whatever to "economic freedom?"Anything that contributes to loss of economic and personal freedom is authoritarian. I don't play with those little grey areas people use to justify this disgusting trend, hence the attempts at putting lipstick on a pig, that is nothing but authoritarianism.
Democrats are authoritarian.
Your tripping over your own shoelaces I think.Anything? So a loss of the right to rape your neighbour's child is "authoritarian?" My goodness!

For me, I think both sides aren't doing the best job, and I welcome younger folk running the country, because it's mostly older folk now, because in situations when X isn't effective, sometimes it's time to try Y. So I think with these older men and women, on both sides, making so many mistakes, perhaps there needs to be a big change similar to changing a starting Quarterback. A big switch up.
That's not to say older people are bad. There are many who could run effectively, but they never get picked.
We keep getting the same people who are not only older, but in extremely poor mental and physical health, to run.
My bad, I should have stated "soon-to-be" in place of "now" There is a tax law prohibiting tax exempt organizations from endorsing or opposing political candidates. Churches involved in supporting or opposing a political candidate are suppose to lose their tax exempt status,Has that happened? I can't find it.
No, I simply think that there are reasonable limits that we can agree -- as humans, as societies, as a species -- to put on everything. If you disagree, please tell me what you would not think was a reasonable limit.Your tripping over your own shoelaces I think.
Even your smart enough to know extremes lead to consequences. Simple cause and effect stuff.

Seems like just another extreme right radical hate group with a hate monger for a leader.It's very hard to know where to put this. While I was reading @Seeker of White Light's thread on staying away from religious debate, I was also listening to a Christian Pastor from Tennessee making a rant that sickened me. And it made me wonder -- are we not supposed to speak up against this? Are we required, because he has freedom of speech, to just say "Amen?"
Here's part of what he said:
“If you vote Democrat, I don’t even want you around this church. You can get out. You can get out, you demon. You cannot be a Christian and vote Democrat in this nation. I don’t care how mad that makes you. You can get as pissed off as you want to. You cannot be a Christian and vote Democrat in this nation.... You cannot be a Democrat and a Christian. You cannot. Somebody say, ‘Amen.’ The rest of you get out! Get out!”
As part of the same rant, the pastor added, “I ain’t playin’ your stupid games.... I’m sick of it. Everyone wanna talk about the insurrection? Mmmm. Let me tell you something: You ain’t seen the insurrection yet. You keep on pushing our buttons, you low-down, sorry compromisers, you God-hating communists, maybe you’ll find out what an insurrection is.”
Now, imagine if this was in a mosque, and instead of a Christian pastor, an Imam said: 'You ain’t seen the insurrection yet. You keep on pushing our buttons, you low-down, sorry compromisers, you God-hating communists, maybe you’ll find out what an insurrection is.”
Would that Imam not be thought to be inciting Muslims to rise up against the nation? Would there not be a nation-wide out-cry?
Republicans on the Forum, who constantly claim that Democrats are the root cause of all your problems, I'd especially like to hear from you on this. Because this (I'll call him) "gentleman" is also a Republican, died-in-the-wool.

Christian pastor's anti-Democrat tirade raises eyebrows — and legal questions
Sin simply means doing wrong or missing the standard of perfection. If you can’t see evidence of the way people treat others wrongly in your own life or the world we live in, then I can’t help you to see it’s real.Can you demonstrate anything approaching objective evidence that this supernatural curse is real?
Yeah, tomorrow he may take up a gun and shoot people.First, I think this pastor is a dangerous man, and he should be closely observed by the appropriate authorities to ensure that he doesn't hurt anyone or he doesn't incite violence that leads to a hate crime against Democrats.
I do not hate atheists, but a certain person who never give up mocking Muslims or Islam should know when enough is enough.I'd really like @Seeker of White Light to read what you wrote, because I think it speaks strongly to what he is experiencing in his own thread.
@Twilight Hue We've tackled this multiple times, but you've an embarrassing habit of conveniently forgetting.
Which party has a history of opposing LGBT rights, gay marriage, women's rights, contraception, cannabis legalization, flag burning, anthem kneeling, the establishment clause, violence in video games, explicit music, gambling, adult entertainment industry, "blasphemous" art, "satanic" music, "witchcraft" based books and games (i.e. Harry Potter and D&D), legalized prostitution, "controversial" books, public breastfeeding, sitting during the pledge, alcohol sales on Sunday, etc.
That's a long, damning list. So now I invite you to make a list of freedoms liberals oppose.

I do not care about my ien faith being ripped apart from a non believer who don't have a clue what spiritual practice is. But I dislike when that person do those things to others.

When religious leaders or churches mix political views into religion they become a political party. Both parties in America would be disappointed if Jesus returned today in that he's concerned exclusively with the soul of the politician not his politics. Jesus wouldn't offer political views or direction. He would offer spiritual council.It's very hard to know where to put this.
