POTUS Age limits

You're not the first I've encountered who has voiced a similar, "don't participate in politics" sentiment. None of them have ever offered me a single syllable of biblical thinking to justify it. It seems to me to be a contradiction. Your decision not to vote is a political decision. Your minority voice kept silent is a benefit to the majority, is it not? If they paid someone to silence you by force you would count it an injury but you silencing yourself makes you a volunteer member of their brute squad.

How am I wrong?

 

This is a joke. A misspoken name is not any sort of sign of a cognitive disorder!

Trump does not have even the slightest symptoms of anything remotely resembling any sort of cognitive decline, nor, at his age, is he ever likely to do so. Only about one third of people over 85 have dementia (i.e. cognitive decline significant enough to effect daily life) and he's already 77 with not a single symptom.

 

I love American because they always want to improve. America is like the symbol of reconciliation, peace and justice.
I wish I were American.

 

Artificial restrictions sometimes provide risk reduction, but too many simply provide a glass ceiling for those on the outside looking in.

Consider the deaths related to the two 737 Max crashes. The AOA software had been approved by multiple people "qualified" by their degree, but lacking in competence.

The actual problem is that our information system did not inform the voting public that Mr. Biden was a thug, and that the charges against Mr. Trump were falsehoods used by those willing to mislead the voters.

 

Did you? Then why aren’t you correcting my statement with the actual one? Anyway I went back into the records and he suggested injections into the body a disinfectant.

 

… did you mention the Depends undies. I’ve been told there are days his staff stands down wind of him

 

I'm just going to say it, not that I agree with it, those say limit the age of Potus and I believe that is well and good... But in doing that you have opened another can of worms... Since we have seen the effects of the male Potus and men like us seem to meet our maker sooner overall, so don't be squirming in your seats if I put it out there but what of a female Potus?... Is that going to be brought to the table?... Is that talk on the horizon?... I'm not into politics, but its something to think about... Brother Glen

 

Well, I guess they were too busy being thrown to the lions for slaughter to take the time to vote.

You really find the fact that a group of people undergoing periods of intense persecution didn’t get involved in politics? Was Roman politics similar at all to our politics today? Was politics in Rome after the Catholic Church secularized Christianity similar to our politics today.

Christians have debated involvement in government affairs, especially military service, throughout history.

peace to you

 

Politicians misspeak on occasion. DT is no exception. (3rd time in 4 months)?

If you compare to B:den, nearly every time he speaks, and it’s not just referring to his VP (Harris) as President… but there are many…

… like when he went to a rally for the purpose of honoring a congresswoman that had died, and then started looking for her in the audience… that is a whole new level of mental decline…

I think DT is a genius. He has no significant mental decline. He is sharper today than any POTUS that has ever held office. He has been and will be the beat POTUS ever to serve. Because he is so humble, I even think he’d make a great dictator.

peace to you

 

Again, you consistently speak of DT’s mental “decline” as if it were at the same level as B:den. It is clearly not. B:den has obvious pronounced mental decline. As you said, DT has a “little”.

DT will continue to serve this country with distinction and honor as POTUS. He will put America first, American taxpayers first and He will be a great POTUS… AGAIN.

I just saw were DeSantis has faced reality and suspended his campaign. After Tuesday, a very probable humiliating defeat for Haily, I suspect DT will continue to cruise with no serious opposition.

Truthfully, there never was serious opposition.

peace to you

 

DT today seems more subdued. He may have realized the importance being “presidential” at all times.

The next few months are going to be very interesting.

peace to you

 

I'm not THAT interested. Besides, none of them lived in an even partial democracy where they were ever asked to cast a vote and so participation in their kind of politics would have been substantially different than what we are dealing with here in America.

This is not in dispute and so has nothing to do with why I am or am not wrong. The question is whether the reasoning that is directing your conscience is valid.

Refusing to vote is a political act, by definition. If you think it has no political impact, you need to think again.

Saying it doesn't make it so. To see the falsehood of your claim here all one need do is to extrapolate it out. Would the democrats like it if all the Christians agreed with you and stayed at home on election day? Of course, they would love it! That would be millions upon millions of votes that they don't have to counter.

I didn't say a word about any political party. I know for a fact, however, that the Christian worldview is very much in the minority. Those who understand what justice is are very much in the minority. Those who understand that the government has no right to educate children are very much in the minority. And there a giant list of issues where the dividing line between majority and minority is razor thin in this country right now.

It's too bad that you've chosen to ignore my logic and instead of actually refuting it, simply declare out of whole clothe that it "does not work" as if you get to declare such things by fiat.

In the context of voting, not showing up to vote is being silent, by definition.

Again, I have yet, in twenty plus years of discussing this in various contexts, to ever have anyone present to me a single syllable of evidence that such a mindset make any sense whatsoever.

Irrelevant to the point. We aren't talking about people who don't vote because they're too lazy or some other mindless reason. We're talking about people who intentionally refuse to vote for religious, presumably Christian, reasons.

And such abstinence greases the wheels of the majority. There's nothing a wanta-be tyrant would love more than for you to stay home on election day. The most evil candidate is the only one who can and does benefit by your non-vote.

Further, the system in America has a specific mechanism in place that allows the minority, even a very small minority, to have a voice. It's called "Primary Elections". During the primary, there are a great deal more people who run, especially in local races and people are encouraged to vote for the candidate that most closely voices the positions with which they agree. In such elections, Christian are almost certain to lose but that's because they aren't collectively smart enough to vote for the most righteous candidate but have instead been convinced to vote for whomever they think can win in the general election. If they'd drop that thinking, we'd win almost every time. Regardless of that, once the primary election is over, our personal opinions are more or less out the window and it just becomes an issue about fighting against evil. It become a mission to make is as hard as possible for someone to take power who has the intention of taking away your rights. And the primary weapon we have in the fight to preserve our rights and the rights of our neighbors is casting a vote against the worst of what is almost always two evils.

Anything else is just being a tacit ally if the worst evil and hastening the corrosion of liberty and justice.

When the righteous remain silent, Satan gets to take a holiday.

 

No it isn't, Jon. Do you not have any discernment at all?

I saw the speech live and yes it was a misspoken name. I even said out loud to my wife that he means Nancy Pelosi.

A name by the way that both starts and ends with the same sounds.

This isn't evidence of anything other than that he had Nikki foremost on his mind at the time.

Which was a clever insult to both women, an insult that no one with mental decline issues could have ever come up with off the top of his head like that.

He isn't. This is just wishful thinking and confirmation bias on your part.

Nonsense.

By the way, how is having this conversation less morally egregious to you than voting?

 

It was more than two years ago. I did watch the press conference were this comment was made and no, he was not making a serious suggestion of injecting such things.

You people are impossible. You just believe whatever you feel like believing. It doesn't matter if it's doctrine or politics! The only evidence that anyone on this site is even a Christian is the fact that they call themselves Baptists and mention the bible from time to time.

I feel, filthy!

Good bye!
