Nope. I favor capitalism and a constitutional republic. This combination has proven to be the greatest generator of wealth and prosperity, and the highest standard of living ever in history.

I see no signs nor signals that the left have come to an understanding of why Trump is president. It heartens me to see the new leaders on the left lurching even further into their now frenzied pursuit of that Utopian dream of economic equality for all, via government controlled wealth redistribution. As long as they remain bent on pushing their failed ideas, the longer and stronger we will move in the direction of prosperity for all who will work to earn it.

A short sequel would be nice.

Chapter 1. Still Waiting

Chapter 2. Still Waiting ------ etc.

Profound Confusion: That's the expression on Pocahontas's face at 2:00 am this morning, in the Senate, when they told her to stop talking and set down. Alternate Everything !

😁

Despite common warnings to the contrary, a quite reasonable estimation of potential poultry population is possible through careful tabulation during embryonic gestation.

Your missing the point cart. The divide is caused by the total incompatibility between our freedoms and a socialist state. No room there to compromise, get it? 😕

Hey Joe, we're all becoming accustomed to watching rioters on TV. These jerks have been desensitized. It's part of the daily madness we watch from our living rooms. Let's just blame progressives and let it go at that 😎

For some reason the media has shifted from neutral reporting with commentary, to biased reporting with commentary. I suspect this shift was intentional and planned, but have no proof. None the less they have clearly become an asset to liberals.

I also believe that the current polarized debate between liberals and conservatives is due to a takeover of the Democratic party, by those who are using it to infiltrate and subvert our government. Decades ago, much greater cooperation was possible because many common beliefs were shared between the parties. Today a large faction of the Democratic party is advocating steps and policies set out by subversives like Saul Alinsky, Bill Ayers and George Soros. These ideas are so openly in support of socialistic, communistic aims, as to be completely incompatible with our constitutional republic and its inherent freedoms. This is the divide in our government. This is why they can't reach much common ground. To be clear, not all Democrats are so inclined, but a large faction are. There exists another faction of Democrats who are simply blind to the nature of the growing subversive faction.

Apart from that, things are going fine. 😨😰😱😵

OK so yer not a Superbowl fan. I can see that. That's fine, but the commercials are sometimes really funny. You like to laugh right? I thought about martial arts training, but I would probably be as bad as Barney Fife was soooooooo.

Is far as trying to ignore you, I find it most vexing that you write so many long comments, so often that they fill the already small tablet screen I am using to debate.

Hey I'm a Republican as well. Did you vote for Trump? Do you think he will be able to help the nation turn from the path toward socialism we have been on? I for one, am very optimistic, but somewhat dismayed at the venomous reaction of the left. Do you think they will relent when jobs return and the economy strengthens?

Further, completely without religious conviction, I stand firmly against killing the unborn in nearly any situation. I always think of my parents and grandparents and how appalled they would be at the thought of killing babies. Just seems so outrageous to even think of it as being legal and even routine. Do you think Roe v Wade will be overturned in a more conservative SCOTUS that Trump may be able to appoint in the future?

Yeah the Westborogh Baptist Church is certainly void of most qualities that would normally define a church. I can see protecting their rights to freedom, but to be so hateful and cruel to others is somehow beyond acceptability, don't you think?

Finally I don't really take strong offense at your incessant religious claims. I understand your zeal to share your messages. They do become repetitious though. Perhaps you can find a more compelling presentation than simply proclaiming that your beliefs are true. It does not seem to be effective.

OK, so you don't want to allow me the courtesy of any respect, because I happen to hold a different opinion than yours. I don't suppose you are willing to hold your beliefs to yourself either. Just how long do you think you should continue berating others for their beliefs, while you trumpet your own. Really dude, it's getting old to hear you go on an on about one single subject. What are your political views, do you like public sector unions, who's gonna win the Superbowl? Come on something, anything 😎

If I tell you that gravity bends light, or that relative speed distorts time for separate observers, or that the visible universe measures 13.8 billion years old, these are currently accepted facts. You can no better explain the WHY of these facts than I can. So what do you imagine you know of reality that is not simply faith.

Life simply verifies the theory that life exists, not necessarily God.

Faith

1. Complete trust or confidence in someone or something.

2. Strong belief in God or in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof.

The definition of faith is belief without fact or conjecture . This means that faith alone does not prove reality.

The real reason I stopped believing in God is that the whole concept doesn't make any real sense to me. I am not a vile and despicable person simply because I stopped believing. I do not hold you, or your faith in ill regard. Please grant me the same courtesy.

True faith is based on facts, true logic is true without error. The fact is that there is no explanation for life or reality outside God creating it.

Fact is that there is no explanation for life or reality, so you infer and conclude the existence of a god to explain what you otherwise cant explain. That fellow debater is faith, not logic.
