I'm guessing by your response you're younger than Gen Z. Perhaps a sorry, smart ass little maggot whose father neglected to whip his ass often enough?


Very Christian of you to say so.

No. Another serious question. Are you a bot?


Nothing but lame insults from you. Can't you carry on a conversation without being a jerk?

Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer.

Exactly! Christian Parents who love their children guide them and discipline them. My voice was all that was needed in bringing up our children. I would have counted myself a failure if one of our children had turned out like you. Your parents must have been Progressive to have fostered you unless you rejected their counsel and guidance.

Your Christian humbleness is positively awesome.

Great way to take something out of context, which you do on a regular basis here! Here is the quote, Birdy:

"But no amendment β€” no amendment to the Constitution is absolute.

From the very beginning that the Second Amendment existed, certain people weren’t allowed to have weapons. So the idea is just bizarre to suggest that some of the things we’re recommending are contrary to the Constitution."

And he was absolutely correct.

dwp666, that is a lie. Prior to 1934, you could own a Thompson Machine gun AND purchase it through the mail. Gun control started in 1865 after the Civil War by Southern Democrat KKK members to prevent the newly freed slaves from owning guns and defending themselves against the KKK who were burning their homes and lynching them. F. Joe Biden is a moron with diminished mental capacity. Everything he says now is inaccurate or just an outright lie. I also believe that he's not really as braindead as he seems to be. It could all be an act to shield himself from criminal protection for stealing top secret documents and selling them to the highest bidder, in this case, the Chinese Communist Party which makes him a traitor. No one wants to prosecut and hang a mentally defective person, hence, the act.
BTW, you can yell "fire" in a crowded theater but if someone gets hurt exiting, you will be held responsible unless you are a Democrat, then you could possibly walk away free.

Who said we must be humble when fighting evil? Jesus certainly wasn't

St. John Chrysostom said: "We must not mind insulting men, if by respecting them we offend God.”

When the Founders set up the electoral college scheme for electing the president, it seemed like a good idea. But the way it functions now contains a fatal problem.

To show the principle involved I am going to use very approximate numbers. Those who can't handle simple arithmetic, and those who don't understand what "very approximate" means, need read no further.

Let's assume there are 200 million voters distributed among 50 states, so each state has 4 million voters. We also assume each state uses the "winner take all" method. To win the election a candidate then needs to win 26 states. In each state he needs 2M plus 1 votes. So altogether he needs to win 52,000,026 votes, which just over a quarter of the total votes. In this way a demagogue with a solid base of less than a third of the electorate can become president.

To base your claim on outrageous fiction is ludicrous and not worth any effort to pursue. BTW your B.S. consequences are, in fact, your responsibility!

You are hardly in a position to distinguish good from evil.

You can tell that Satan has taken possession of your soul when you know that you are right and everyone else is wrong.

Someone who worships Javanka is in no position to judge whether anyone knows what they are talking about.
