    Yet another non-denial denial. Beware of those who tear down the views of others but do not explain their own view. False flag ring a bell.

    People who do not speak clearly, plainly and boldly seem not to think we should follow Christ's commands. False Flag operations are the world's value system on display, whatever works to deceive. It does not matter their labels, RINO's or Moderate Democrats, or "No labels, their goal is to say what we want to hear, while governing as they see fit.

    Van, which part of the passage below do you not comprehend?

    "The state therefore has two natural functions, functions essential to the existence of any peaceful, ordered society: to protect the rights of citizens against violent or fraudulent assault, and to judge in conflicts of right with right. It has a further third function, which is another aspect of the first, that is, to protect its citizens from assault by foreign powers. These three functions are expressed by three powers: the police power, which protects the citizen against domestic violence; the military power, which protects the citizen against violence from abroad; and the courts of law, which judge between rights and rights, as well as sharing with the police power the protection of the citizen against domestic violence.

    But since this institution must possess a monopoly of legal physical force, to give to it in addition any further power is fraught with danger; that monopoly gives to the state so much power that its natural functions should be its maximum functions."

    - Frank S. Meyer, In Defense of Freedom: A Conservative Credo, published in 1962

    Van, which part of the passage that I quoted in my post #24 above do you not undestand?

    Biden announced he wanted SC to go first in the primary season, thinking he can win and get momentum.

    Whether the States will go along with that schedule or not is unclear. I think N.Hampshirite has a law they must be first primary, no matter what any other state does.

    I think a few things are at play. Biden is very unpopular among Dems and RFK,jr is more of a classic liberal with a well known name.

    Additionally, RFK,Jr is making the rounds in the early states, which love the attention, and doing interviews.

    Do not underestimate the “buff” appeal. Doing push-ups, shirt off weightlifting was impressive. Whether people admit it or not, such appearances of physical fitness will immediately be compared to Biden’s feeble walk, falling, talking:

    Men and women alike are impressed with genuine physical fitness. It demonstrates hard work, determination and good genes.

    peace to you

    I know it is not his fault, but his voice is awful.

    It’s doubtful anyone will beat Biden in the primary. In modern history, an incumbent has never lost—even Carter held on.

    That is true. I think he had surgery for throat cancer, which resulted in the way he sounds. He is still far more articulate than Biden.

    I truly believe RFK, Jr could unleash a massive opposition push against Biden in the Dem primaries if he does well in the first two or three; Iowa, N.Hampshirite, SC.

    peace to you

    Carter was a terrible POTUS, but he was not mentally and physically feeble

    If you consider all the extreme policies Biden has pushed, coupled with his mental/physical condition, I believe he is more vulnerable than any POTUS in history in the primaries of his own party.

    peace to you

    The ones that would push Biden in the primaries, such as Newsom, are much more liberal than Biden is.

    I just don't see RFK Jr. gaining that much traction. He may do really well in New Hampshire due to its location and his name. With his radical anti-vaccine stance, if he wasn't a Kennedy, then he would be hardly noticed.

    Yes, but unlike Biden, I don’t think anyone ever questioned whether Carter was a sellout to foreign nations. Biden has been corrupted.

    Well, RFK, Jr. Is getting about 20% in national polls.

    Im not saying he would necessarily win the nomination. I’m saying if he wins early, it will encourage people like Nuusome to jump in to “save” the party. Remember how well Bernie Sanders was doing in 2020 early.

    peace to you

    I’m not voting for a Democrat regardless of who they pick.

    In our state, some Without Labels people were practicing deception by asking people to sign a "petition" supporting the WL concept. Turns out that signing was actually registering as WL, such that those who wished to remain in their now-former registration as D/R/I had to go to their town offices and re-register.

    Thanks, the folks waging war on Christianity use deception non-stop, i.e. moderate Democrat.
