The founders respected the concept of God-Given, unalienable Rights. (Declaration of Independence, ...are endowed by their Creator with certain Unalienable Rights, among those, Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness...)

When that Creator, that overwhelming and omniscient power, is removed from the equation, the Rights thus obtained are easy targets and their existence becomes hinged in the minds of those in power on the diktat of man.

There is no question that our Rights are under attack; to me it has never been so obvious.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

I looked into his history. When Donald Trump says he's doing something, building something, it gets done. He has a good reputation in the banking, business and real estate communities in that regard.

His long track record is public record and easily searchable.

With all due respect, your search skills are evidently lacking.  I was easily able to determine that he and his entities have a history of not  paying bills, declaring bankruptcy, using litigation to delay or avoid meeting commitments, etc.  Are you sure you're not being willfully ignorant?

He's not Hillary and that is all they need or want to know!

It's nice to see the personal insults have stopped...Mr. #NeverTrump will be proud of you all.

Hey Nancy, you know I never hit 'abuse report.'  So we'll let these personal insults hang in the air and see how long it takes for management to do something. After all, with the new rules around, here this morning y'all were quick to jump on my signature line as insulting.

Let's see if evenhanded moderating is the rule or the exception that benefits #NeverTrump.

"Silence the opposition!"

Trump's personality does seem to rub off onto his supporters.  He tends to bring out the ugliness in people.

Were you, and you alone, made the subject of an insult?  If no, then there is no personal insult.  What makes a personal insult is the adjective, not the mere fact of an insult.

Were you specifically and individually - that is, personally - attacked?  No, you weren't.

Apparently "personal attack" has an even broader definition than "conservative".

Once again you blame 'the forum' (i.e. mystery)  Is that all you do?

The only one who looks bad when you do this, is you.  People know enough to respect what this forum is, and how even-handed it is.

As a (former, I guess) friend, I ask you to please stop attacking this great forum and Nancy, who has worked her tail off to give it to us.
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

Maybe when your crew knocks off the "you are supporting Hillary" comments, someone might shed you a tear. Until then, you'll just have to put folks on ignore. Because we arent gonna sit here and let you rule the roost and simply take your bullshit unanswered. Since insults are the level of your communication skills, maybe you can run back to FR and bitch there. You know, since you have a habit of that anyway.

It's all a personal truth. Isn't that what we learned the other day?

Contrarily, the current selection is between Ma Barker and Little Bob (The Unforgiven).

Do you mean English Bob or little Bill?

If they want to run around like liberals flat out lying that we are Hillary supporters, They will just have to suck it up I guess. It's not our fault they backed a fraud and are too egomaniacial to admit their mistake. I sure am not going to quietly shut my mouth and let them go unopposed.

I will, and DO however, greatly enjoy every second of their projection of misery. And the best part is they know it and can't do a damn thing about it. All they COULD do is the one thing they absolutely won't. Work to correct the mistake that took us down the path to President Clinton via a liberal Republican candidate.

It's all their responsibility. We know it. They know we know it. And no matter how loud they scream and no matter how they spin in circles, the reality was summed up in the title of the article that started this thread. They bear the responsibility. Now and forever.

Sucks to be them.

Lincoln did save the Union, but his legacy was not at all a model of limited government.  If not for the slavery issue, his Presidency would not be regarded so highly.


If not for his being killed,   he would not be regarded so highly.  If not for the massive and constant propaganda from the victors justifying the war,  he would not be regarded so highly.   






In fairness though, his term was preceded by a President worse than Baraq Obama.


I don't even grasp this concept.   In what manner does Buchanan measure up to the utter disaster that is Barack Odumbo?

Women had more freedom and "rights" in the Plymouth Colony than they did back in England at the same time. In the Plymouth Colony a woman could be a property owner, a business owner, had standing in court, the ordinary woman had none of this in England. A widow was guaranteed a good portion of the estate if the husband passed on, he could not will it all to his kids and leave her broke. A widow could challenge the will in court and would win.



All of that may very well be true,   but I don't grasp the connection it has to the meaning of "Our Lord"  as written in the US Constitution.
