You've lost your mind There is not going to be any tribulation that's just superstitious nonsensical jibberish

Nickolai

Bull shit I was enticed to join the Republican party and was loyal for 30 years before coming to the realization that conservatism has been on the wrong side of history since the dark ages and have contributed nothing positive to civilization

Steve700

if you know much about Bible prophecy you would realize that the Bible is quite self proving.

Steve700

a list of all the negative, destructive lib "accomplishments"would be twice if not three times as long. Plus many of those so-called accomplishments are totally detrimental to our country like what the left has done to education.

Wake-up, Dummy

Could you provide me with a list of accomplishments that has contributed to the progress of civilization such as woman's right to vote, the 8 hr work day 40 hr week the end of child labor that progressives have contributed in just the last century. If you could give me a list I would appreciate it

Just like they set around and let the Nazis destroy at least 4 million of them!

According to virtually any conservative today, the government has been just one big liberal establishment. The current extremists that own and operate the GOP are hell bent on destroying anything and everything that even has a hint of liberalism or progressivism in it, even if Republicans helped pass it. So what would America be like without liberals and progressives? Here is a list of programs, legislation, and achievements that we would not have if extreme right wingers had their way. Some items on this list were indeed passed or created by Republicans, but that doesn’t make them conservative achievements.

It is safe to assume that if the current breed of Republicans had their way, ALL of the above list would have never happened. The fact is, the people need government. Government protects the people from the greedy power hungry hands of the wealthy, especially when liberals are in power. The corporations and extremists that own the Republicans today will always only do what is profitable to themselves, and would also get rid of most of the things on this list. So, the next time a conservative complains about all those “socialist” liberals, remind them of what liberals have accomplished. Any conservative that claims anything on this list as a conservative achievement would be a hypocrite. Conservatives would lead us back to the Dark Ages. Liberals and liberal ideals have time and time again, led the way to a brighter future for everyone.

The number is closer to one million and the Zionist were as responsible as the Germans

ldsuttonjr Loc: ShangriLa

nikki: Just like you.....your numbers are old!

Nickolai

Not true according to the red cross the approximate number that died in the camps was one million and if the zionst had not declared war on Germany in 1933 with a world wide boycott of all German products there might not have been any Jews in forced labor camps

Steve700

I told you I don't have time to do your research. I really don't even have the time to be trying to educate you liberals when it is so unproductive. It should be obvious that it was conservative capitalism that made America the wealthiest & strongest country on earth. If Marxism became the order of the day after World War you would have been made into a lampshade or at least become subservient to the 3rd. Reich. I never said that liberalism hadn't produced anything of value. Most of your list is not all the Democrats doing, many are detrimental and should be eliminated & with some. the Republicans were the inline with it. And a lot of it is pure bull shit like saying the liberals are the ones who founded America.

Steve700

Spend 10 or 20 hours studying fulfilled and fulfilling Bible prophecy and tell me that. Those who are not fools can already see it coming (even if they're not religious) & probably beginning within a couple years.

Nickolai

That stuff in the bible is just old mythical tales from the bronze age The Roman Catholic Church had the new testament written and the stories were crafted to make it appear that the prophecies came true. Any thing is possible when writing fiction. There is no archaeological or historical evidence to support any of those stories. I wouldn't take the bible seriously. I suppose it's a way to pass time but there so much better things to do with ones time like getting an education

...except that the people that point out most prophecy never get it right, so what am I to believe...NOT YOU...FU-king idiot.

You also never learned how to spell or use spell check. Do you know how to spell Fascist? You are so far removed from reality that you could be an exhibit in Disney's Fantasy Land.
