How God must weep at humans' folly! Stand fast! God knows what he is doing!
Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I do not recall the Gospel discussing the need to extend forgiveness and reconciliation to promoters of apostasy.  Instead scripture tells us to depart from them.
True enough..and shake the dust of that place from your feet.

No one hates you @INVAR ... and no one hates morality for questioning whether your personal religious principles should be the litmus test for the United States government and its officials.   :shrug:
Which begs the question of how immoral should someone be before you would deny them the reins to power of the most powerful country on the planet?

Now, asking a question is not 'seeking information' but a "misinterpretation"? What language is your dictionary in?

Have a nice day, dear.

Trump immoral?

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

Dunno about Trump, but I wear a Wells Lamont X-large, and it's snug on the fingers.

    Just jiving ya @Smokin Joe, trying to get a jab into RiV.  She upset me this morning when the Orange stuff was flying and she insinuated that NT'ers should go by 'Yellow', being a Vet and all.

Yeah, we're good. That would have got my hackles up if I was in your boots, too.

Well I certainly don't want to insult a vet, heaven knows. 

I'm just looking for the same shorthand advantage you have with the word "orange" --- you know, to level the debating field.

If yellow doesn't work for you ... pick another color.  Let's noodle this around a bit and come up with a compromise.

Who knows, we could even decide the best compromise is to drop the "orange" reference.   :shrug:

  Being that I am a 'natural' white guy who already has a dark complexion, year round, and has no need to feed my vanity by spraying something on me each week, any color but yellow is fine with me for the obvious reasons that it implies 'chicken' in American culture.
  Never's use Orange because it aptly describes the 'tone' of our President's skin color AND the added bonus is it seems to rile a few of ya, without insulting you directly and getting a timeout.

Nah.  NT's use "orange brigade" and "orange worshippers" etc... to insult the President's supporters.  I take it as it's intended ... as a personal insult.

They don't get a timeout because it's an insult that is 100% protected.    :shrug:

@Right_in_Virginia You seem very intent on trying to find a way to insult someone without getting in trouble for insulting someone.  Why don't you just pull your big girl panties on and move along?
