Even better!
That was a big mistake. It looked like "more democracy" but it simply disempowered the states and made the FedGov supreme.
With state-legislature appointed Senators, they could prevent any unfunded mandates or DC power grabs by holding up that or other legislation or refusing to appoint anybody until the House backed off.
Quick, put up the Help Wanted and WIC not accepted here signs in the window.
Exactly right.
Using a minority against the majority is an ancient tactic. Hutu/Tutsi with Belgian Africa and "Warrior" tribes in British India.
Hell yeah. Great mention of Cardi B. One of the award shows had Madonna doing the Like a Virgin thing in the 80s which was a huge deal at the time --- and that was far, far less in your face than WAP.
Hell Janet Jacksons halftime wardrobe malfunction and the BS excuse it was accidental. Whereas Janet had been a fairly tame performer in the 80s and 90s,
Remember Silence of the Lambs? Surprised that hasn't been incinerated for "Spreading the 'scientific' falsehood that trannies are mentally ill or dangerous".
Thank you for the exact quote!
Liberal, 1990s/2000s: "Listen you stupid hick, there aren't going be self-selected bathrooms for Trannies or pro LGBTQ indoctrination in schools and public libraries. That's the slippery slope fallacy, you paranoid dumbass! "
"This bill won't fundamentally alter the makeup of the USA" (Or words to that effect) - Ted Kennedy.
Some say it was a Challenge Coin.
Right on, you rock, man!
What I'm talking about is aggressive sinning, REFUSAL to repent for a clear sin and demanding other Christians accept your sin without comment.
Iif one says "I drink daily and am totally wasted by 8PM every night, mind your own business fellow Christians, and I ain't gonna change, and don't you judge me", that's a rebellious sinner, not a repentful, though imperfect, sinner.
There are rapid signs of grace when you repent, even if it's not 100% conquered overnight.
One might not go to total abstinence from being sloshed every night, but one will go to a six pack only on Saturday afternoons pretty fast.
California decriminalized the KNOWING spread of AIDS/HIV. That is, if you KNOW you have it, give it to somebody without their knowledge, it's a parking ticket, few hundred bucks fine.
If you have Drug-resistant TB and go out in public even for a minute, you can and will be incarcerated in a health facility, fined thousands, and be given the bill for everything.
Sinners have to be genuine and SIN NO MORE.
Once you stop sinning and repent, THEN you are welcomed back in the fold of the Church.
"How DARE you judge me, Ima keep dressing in womens clothes/fornicating with 20 people out of wedlock each year/breaking into cars" is a rebellious, non-repentant sinner. Expel them, IN SPITE of the pastor if necessary.
Thank you, Jesus, I absolutely didn't deserve jack, yet I received Grace and Forgiveness and am redeemed.
The Risen Redeemer, long predicted Savior of the World.
China and Trannies.
I understand very well that there's a segment of Jews of intellectual bent on the "Everlasting No", the idea that everybody is motivated by the basest desires and there's no grace or good ideals that really motivate anybody and all life is a power struggle of oppression is a big part of that.
.
Problem is, our New England Reformists decendants have a similar problem, they certainly aren't the tough but merciful gang that first arrived here. Then you have the Sartes, Foucaults, etc. and many other subgroups in the meantime. The Everlasting No is a perpetual issue.
However, there's also David Horowitz (who has been jumping up and down screaming about SJWs since the 70s, the Paul Revere against the Radical Left and their takeover of Academia and Culture), Freidman, Rand, etc. Or Dershowitz, who is a liberal but a free speech crusader.
Good news is that the East Siders are barren as hell.
Yeah, Ukraine is always the avenue into Russia from Europe. Crimea has been described as an unsinkable Aircraft carrier within Easy reach of Russian Industry.
Yep, Anybody who takes half an hour to look at Israeli politics would know Jews can't agree on jack shit politically.
Yep, they were Georgians, like Beria and Stalin.
Crimea doesn't It's mostly Russian and Russian speaking. It has been for centuries, and wants to be now, part of Russia, not Ukraine.
The Solution is to stop being "Theraputic Deity" extremists, where God is ONLY Love and no Responsiblity and Obligation, and start expelling people from Churches for this sort of thing.
Engles, who financed Marx, edited his works, and without whom Marx would have had to have gotten a Job.
Or Saint Just, Robespierre, and many others.
Marxism grew out of the French Revolution, Marx was inspired by the Revolutions of 1848 and the Paris Commune.
Yep, Kaganovich was a murdering shit.
But I notice you pass over Stalin, Beria, and Tuchachevsky.
Hurty your narrative a bit.
Let's add (((Guevara))), (((Castro))), and (((Mao Tse Tung))) to your list.
And what was the co-author and financier of Marx, because Marx was broke. What was the name of the guy who kept him in funds? Something with an "E", I think.
Word! It's proven that if one or two people speak up, many others do as well.
I forget the term, but it's the secret to authoritarian government power, when everybody hates the government but thinks a majority supports it. That's why when there's a moment of resistance, it cascades rapidly, like 1989.
