The one reason the blue states are receiving less government aid is because of their higher state tax's they have there residents pay.

Well Duh!!! That is what leftism always results in. Those who were in charge were leftists. Did you go through at least middle school? That is why it IS about leftism.

So what is the correct question if you don't mind saying? I told you up front that I didn't grasp what your meaning is. That was the primary question I asked you to explain. You must not know or you would have answered. It was a simple question and you couldn't answer.

My apologies, I did miss this also. Yes, thank you I did make middle school but apparently not the same biased school you went to. Being against left goes back to when... after WWII? Maybe before? Things have changed, party's have changed a lot since then, hence "progress" my friend. "Change does not have to be progressive, but progress is inevitable" as we've seen since the beginning of man.

Hitler was not a leftist. But no matter, left or right doesn't make a difference, it's the fact that it was the dictatorship that mattered.

That may be true, maybe other states should be better at balancing a budget.

One reason Texas is "turning blue," having little to do with Texans, is that a huge number of Californians have been migrating there to escape "The Golden State's" high taxes and cities trashed by the never-ending homeless influx, with the needles, meth-head crime,feces and general state of streets substituting for trash cans.

These migrant Californians are the same people who elected the politicians in California that are responsible for all the above.

Being good little "progressives" who, like most folks on the left never seem to understand that if you keep doing the same thing over and over, you'll continue getting the same result, tend to vote exactly as they did in California and, as a result, Texans can now watch helplessly as their previously conservative state is slowly transformed into another left wing hellhole, taxes and the cost of living going up, "liberal" laws enacted (it's amazing how the term "liberal" always seems to coincide with a decrease in liberty) and eventually more and more career homeless people streaming in.

A few years down the road, when they've screwed up Texas to the point that they've rendered it unliveable by their own standards, they will migrate to another great state and ruin it, too.

Then what do "you think" created in his image means?

Oh, that is "for" us, and in what way?

My opinion of it is not important. The bible isn't read in terms of what it means to us but in terms of what God is telling us. That's a much different approach.

This is a good answer for the first question -

"Having the “image” or “likeness” of God means, in the simplest terms, that we were made to resemble God. Adam did not resemble God in the sense of God’s having flesh and blood. Scripture says that “God is spirit” (John 4:24) and therefore exists without a body. However, Adam’s body did mirror the life of God insofar as it was created in perfect health and was not subject to death."

The full answer is here -

In the bible God describes human nature. Everyone is born wicked. You don't have to teach a child to lie or steal. They do it naturally until they are taught differently.

For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart.
-Hebrews 4:12

This is one of the same problems I have at times with OPP. A response is buried way down the thread rather than right after the post it is a response to. It makes it difficult to follow some discussions.

Hitler was so far right that he was a leftist, not cut from the same cloth as Stalin, but still a socialist. The left-right continuum is not linear. Think of it more as a circle where left and right meet somewhere. Moving so far right or left puts one into the other and vice versa. The biased school I went to was a public school. Nothing has changed much since then except that public schools are progressively more leftist now and it continues on into college.

This is true, especially when you have to leave and come back much later.

If you look into the history of Hitler, which I have, you'll find that he began on the National Socialist party, this is true, it was a dying party which he resurrected. After he was in power he followed Mussolini into fascism which was against socialism, against democracy and any voice of the people, they both were engrossed in their own power over the people, because of this, it's was then considered a far right position. I have a very thorough link on the history of the Rise of Hitler if you would like it?
