Your prescriptions start too late! You want rules for after they're elected, when in fact you need rules for before they're elected. Campaign finance rules, for a start.
The US would not suffer badly if national elections were totally subject to national standards. Canadian national elections...
Not answering for @Jayhawker Soule to whom you asked the question -- but for myself, I believe that Huckabee is convinced that this world will end when Jesus comes back to Israel, and the Jews are all either killed or converted to Christianity.
If I were an Israeli Jew, I don't think I'd be...
There is no logical reason for you to suppose any such thing. Whether the Pope (or anybody) else agrees with evolution or note says nothing at all about whether evolution is true, and the same can be said about virgin birth (which, by the way, is a reality in our world -- it's called...
Canada is conscripting every beaver in the nation to head to the border and build dams and walls!
You'll be happy to know that the beavers are happy to do it!
Because the one real responsibility every voter who actually casts a ballot is to inform her/himself. If they're not willing to do that, I'd frankly like them to stay home.
Then, some months down the road, they're going to hate us both with real vehemence. Because the time is coming when people are going to start asking "how did this happen?" And we're going to tell them, "because you voted without thinking!"
Donald Trump's hatred of the Justice Department could not be more obvious -- after all, they came after him, even though he's clearly more innocent than Jesus Christ! So he's nominated somebody else that doesn't like DOJ for the same reason -- who was investgated for allegations of...
Yeah -- kicking ***!
Of course, long ago, when I was younger, that was something we thought to do to our enemies. But Trump and MAGA sees enemies everywhere, don't they?
No flapping wonder Trump is desperate to have no Senate confirmations of his appointments. It's getting zanier by hour! Pete Hegseth of FOX News FOX & Friends Weekend will be Secretary of Defense.
Thank goodness he basically shafted Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy by making them co-chiefs of a...
"The only thing necessary for evil to triumph in the world is that good men do nothing." (Attr: Edmund Burke)
In the example above, you have given only two real choices: vote (for the flawed by not worst candidate), or not vote. If this is a situation in which, whatever happens, one of the two...
You masy believe your own genius all you like, but you're still wrong. The people on this board know me for someone who not only lives in a nation that has welcomed many refugees, in a city that is the most multicultural on earth -- but who also welcomes them.
When you learn not to project...
You are forgetting taking freedoms away from people they think are too different from them, force Christianity onto non-Christian children in schools, ejecting desperate foreigners, likely into misery, penury or death (without Christian charity or remorse). Tell the whole story.
How fracking sad!
We don't live in a "fallen world." We live in a world we refuse to elevate! If our politicians are corrupt and involved in criminal activities, there's something we could -- if we wanted -- do about it. We could vote the ******** out of office.
Instead, we ask ourselves, "but...
Yes, that's pretty much what we humans have said about most of our most sublimely hopeful sentiments.
Rather than work for what we deem to be our best hopes as a species, we dismiss them as impossible -- and move on.
Nice.
It's from a poem on the Statue of Liberty.
“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
