    I started rethinking your plan on the way to the dump yesterday. I believe you may be on to something. If we make voters pass a written test to get a registration card . . . .

    It's similar to the least qualified persons selected for jury duty. The majority know nothing of the intricacies of court room law. Yet they get to decide the fate of another individual. Maybe you would like the government to control everything in your life. Maybe another country would suit your needs better. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

    Monday, 22 Feb 2016, Blaze TV, the Glenn Beck Program focused on the fear and anger in our presidential race. Beck presented the invisible primary process of how the individual earns the right to run through selection by the big money contributors. The Democrats and the Republicans have similar but different selection processes. He noted that the Republicans tend to change the game within their venue to achieve the desired outcomes. Donald Trump has screwed them up. Bernie Sanders has had a similar but lesser effect with the Democratic Party. Bottom line, the voters are not intelligent enough to choose their leadership and must be manipulated. However, today's voters are PO'd and afraid and they are looking at the extreme mavericks. The system is in chaos. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

    I understand what he is saying. When I was instructing, coaching, exhibition jumping, etc., I attempted to make the event as militarily structured as possible. Some skydivers add a level of caution for the sport parachutists to observe and incorporate. I always described myself as a sport parachutist.

    In a capitalist society the market decides. To some degree yes. However, income does not determine character. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

    Fascinating. I've had several bosses who were dicks, but they got fired, not me. Maybe a lesson there. Yeah, I don't take shit very well. Wussification didn't work on me for most of my life. My last three years in the work force I kept my mouth shut. My self esteem suffered for it. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

    Maybe you come from a softer world than I did. Every time I was fired the boss was a dick. Do you know anyone that was fired by Trump, not counting the TV show, that said he was extraordinarily abusive? I just don't know. My father was a pro-MLB player. He said they cheat, are abusive and sometimes aggressive. You get paid to win, not play fair. The lesson that amused me most was, if you turn your back on an umpire you can say or call him anything you want to. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

    Except that it is noted from time to time in the media that he is well liked by those who work for him... Sure. He treats them well (until he fires them, anyway). But when he says that a protester should be "roughed up"? When he says the Pope is a pawn of Mexico? Saying the Iowa caucuses were rigged? You don't measure someone by how they treat those they agree with, you measure it by how they treat those they disagree with. Kind of like judging someone's "sportsmanship" by how they lose rather than how they win. In the liberal world no one gets fired. In the business world people get fired and not necessarily in the spirit of fairness. I have been fired and it made me stronger. It's about winning not about fairness.

    Except that it is noted from time to time in the media that he is well liked by those who work for him. The current occupier of the WH is nothing more than a racist organizer that desires to bring America to its knees. I am not necessarily a Trump supporter but, as a politician he is tapping into the fear/anger of the general population. He is acting just like the others only he uses different words.

    It's like winsor's post in his thread on Fear/Anger, a plane is rapidly descending from 12K feet and passing through 1K and we are trying to determine who will take the controls to determine the angle of impact.

    Nope, I still have doubts about BHO's birthplace, his college transcripts, his academic achievements, his Christianity, his allegiance to the U.S.A., his agenda with respect to the stability of the middle east, just to name a few. I was simply bringing to the SC what is buzzing on the media. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

    Touched a nerve? Or am I reading to much into that? Pillow over the head - Seems pretty fishy. Or maybe he was a pillow biter. Keep in mind that we are the people that demanded excruciating examination of the evidence in the OJ Simpson murder trial. More recently, consider the fervor over alleged failure to examine the evidence in the Steven Avery murder trial. Justice Scalia was found with a PILLOW OVER HIS HEAD. This is considered by the liberals as, nothing to see here, move along. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

    I'm hearing on the news that Justice Scalia was a guest at John Poindexter's ranch. Poindexter was/is a major contributor to the Democratic Party. Furthermore, Scalia was found with a pillow over his head and, per Poindexter's telephone conversation with the medical examiner, there was no autopsy. Hmmm! "House of Cards" comes back to mind.

    Although we disagree on many levels, you usually have well reasoned posts. So my question to you is this, what are your objections to Ted Cruz? How does he enhance your fear/anger, to borrow from Winsor? Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

    If anything from "House of Cards" is believable then it is possible that BHO could have had him taken out so that he could fill the replacement. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
  22. RonD1120
    Yes, you are shooting in the dark. And yes, both the Republicans and the Democrats support socialism. Since 2008 our politics has shifted from issues to fear/anger as Winsor apply stated when he started this thread. So, who are you supporting at this point in the race for the White House that will best allay your fear/anger? Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

    The National Socialist Party of Germany misused many things. Among them the word "socialist". As you now are as well. The term "National Socialism" arose out of attempts to create a nationalist redefinition of "socialism", as an alternative to both internationalist Marxist socialism and free market capitalism. The Nazis sought to achieve this by a "people's community" (Volksgemeinschaft) with the aim of uniting all Germans as national comrades, whilst excluding those deemed either to be community aliens or "foreign peoples" OK thanks. Please explain the difference between the current liberal democratic ideology and socialism. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.
