One of the most important things a responsible counselor can do is hold up a mirror to their client's bullshit. Most people who are mentally unwell are deluding themselves to some point about what their real problem is. Counselors used to do this kind of thing all the time. Now you'd be hard pressed to find one who will challenge you on anything. It's all self-affirmation, Jack Handey bullshit anymore.
That was clearly a compromise move to try to placate the 2020 mob. She proposed putting a statue of Obama across from the emancipation statue of Lincoln so nobody would tear the Lincoln statue down. It wasn't to venerate Obama as a great president.
And to any pearl clutchers who try to say he's hurting people by saying this kind of stuff, no, you are hurting people by telling them that culture can be changed so that fat sows are going to become magically attractive. That ain't ever going to happen, and there's plenty of biological reasons why. Quit setting these people up to fail just so you can prove your dumb point.
You know it's bullshit because it's OK for people like Ted Cruz and John McCain to be president when they were born overseas, so the government has already admitted that there's more to it than just where your mom happened to be when you plopped out. Not when it comes to illegals though.
That's obviously what she was getting at. She's trying to throw them a bone to get them to calm the fuck down and see that progress has been made, and preserve the confederate monuments at the same time. She's clearly not doing it because she loves Obama or is a secret Democrat or something. Agree or disagree with the strategy, but I think that was clearly her intent.
Capitalism plus morality leads to more cooperation and unity than any other system. The key is you can't have narcissistic shits with no character running around bitching about what they don't have compared to some other person who is almost certainly working harder and/or more talented. The Bible condemns envy and covetousness for good reason.
That's my problem too. I lived in Florida for awhile as well as Louisiana. Those places have a lot going for them, but I just can't live in a swamp. I've spent too long living next to the lake in upper Michigan. I have to have winters. Bad ones at that.
A much larger portion of our side believes in God. Christians cut their teeth singing uplifting songs as the gates of the lion pit opened. The left are constantly talking about how mentally exhausted they are from having to live in the same country with people who they don't agree with. We'll wear them out. They're all fucking mental.
I gave up betting against Donald Trump, Tom Brady, and Alex Jones a long time ago. They've all proven me wrong many times.
