Political Disagreements and Enemies

Very true. You have very little serious discussion any more and the sad thing is that a serious candidate can't win. A while back I saw where some politician had said that "we all know what needs to be done, we just don't know how to do it and get elected".

 

Trump is a flawed individual (like me). I would even say he a highly flawed individual because, unlike me, he seems to not be very aware of his faults.

Now when I compare him to any democrat I know of—well then he looks almost fantastic in comparison.

I lived four years with Trump’s presidency. Per Biden’s own statement of his having turned the reins over to Harris almost four years ago, I have lived four years with the virtual presidency of Harris.

It was great with President Trump.

I have not fared well with Harris.

 

So what are you saying…that a strong leader is not constitutional?

 

Thus we give Socialism an environment to survive and grow.

 

So what happens when the Trump Tax Cuts are terminated in 2025 and Harris is elected as president….think they will be renewed?

 

The word “dictator” had quite a different definition in Ancient Rome than what it has today. The democrats are attempting to paint DT as a modern day dictator with the connotation that we are referring to an evil psychopath, ie Hitler. Again, the irony is that the average citizens of the USA is that many are sorely missing historical knowledge vital to understanding today’s civilization. The founders perceptions for how to create a nation is fascinating because they did not emulate the Greek & Roman civilizations (democracy, republic). Rather they choose to create a different and unique to formulate American society.

More importantly, we as a society are still evolving. I personally am focused on improving my family, my town, my community, my church…constant improvements. These are roles I can affect…sometimes disrupt.

 

RIGHT, now as to leadership of the President, character needs to be paramount. If you did a deep dive into the character of Julius Caesar…he displayed a personality congruent with a Roman dictator much like Cinsinatus but he made many provisions for the Plebs, insuring that they were fed and housed. He also had the fear of the Senate. And the military loved him.

 

I like this:
The line "Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world," is from Act 1, Scene 2 of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. This line is spoken by Cassius to Brutus, as the two are discussing Julius Caesar, whom they later plot to assassinate. Cassius states: "Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world / Like a Colossus, and we petty men / Walk under his huge legs and peep about / To find ourselves dishonorable graves." Here, Cassius compares Caesar to a giant whose legs are so big that they reach both ends of the Earth, while the rest of them seem small and inconsequential, shuffling off to their deaths in "dishonorable" graves.

So do we have people of this stature today ( surly none of the politicians running for office today measure up)

 

No sir, not if she is elected.

 

I agree! And Socialism will rein supreme.

 

Personally, I have no allegiance to any politician and/or political party… my only allegiance lies with my God & family, lastly my dog. This madman Marx however has been sowing discord in society for a long time. Marx himself came from the privileged class and he created a social system to placate many people tired of hard work and war… so why not consider a kinder & gentler life offered by socialism …. Only remember, it would have to be the state administration policing it and Marx would be right up there pulling all the gears & pushing all the buttons while the vast majority do as they are told without individual freedoms… and is completely the opposite process that most Americans want and have died for in past wars. Really the subtle tyranny suggested by Marxist governments should be quite foreign to us as US CITIZENS but politicians view it as a means of control. Imagine the tyrants (politicians) running the economy, having ultimate taxing privileges, constant wars, buying beach houses for cash while the rest of us sweat it out in the pits suddenly realizing we have been suckered into being lied to… duh, we chose this.

 

It's Un-American.
Prior military experience to fulfill the office of Commander and Chief is not necessary. Band camp and boarding school candidates need apply.

 

I still do not have sufficient privilege to post in meaningful discussions. Excuse my potshots, I am stranded in news and current events. Somebody let me out of here to discuss theology!
