Utterly stupid question Faith.
Rather ask "How many of us wish we were on the imaginary Soros' payroll?"

I doubt that Soros would pay anyone to argue with a ranting lunatic on an obscure website. Even if he was running the absurd conspiracy imagined by the totalitarian Right.
And if he did send an agent here to try to discredit the Right, you and Marc would be much better value.

Is there a single wingnut conspiracy that you won't buy into?

Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison. Thoreau: Civil Disobedience (1846)
History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people. Martin Luther King
I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend. Thomas Jefferson
Seems to me if its clear that certain things that require ancient dates couldn't possibly be true, we are on our way to throwing out all those ancient dates on the basis of the actual evidence. -- Faith
Some of us are worried about just how much damage he will do in his last couple of weeks as president, to make it easier for the NY Times and Washington post to try to destroy Trump's presidency. -- marc9000

Why am I always so astonished at the stupidity of the Left?
I'm on neither the left or right. I'm a social liberal and a fiscal conservative. For example, I'm against Trump's transgender executive order and for his proposed changes in corporate taxation. I am not automatically against anything Trump, but it doesn't take a person of great perspicacity to see that his populist agenda and financial acumen are infused with large elements of highly impulsive and conspiracy-laden thinking.
About the other subconversation, if you don't want to be thought of as bigoted and racist then all it takes is ceasing your bigoted and racist comments. If anyone here were asked who is the person at EvC who least embodies Christian principles they'd all give the same answer. You're convicted by your own words. If you were to stop defending Trump's actions and the religious right's positions and instead began defending actual Christian principles then views of you would change rapidly. But your entrenched attitudes seem to override any empathy you might have, and so time and again you're caught making the most hateful and abhorrent statements ever made here.

I have not said one bigoted or racist thing here ever. That is all an invention of the Leftist mindset here. I don't care what your exact political position is you are thinking like all the Leftists here on PC. You are doing to me what is always done by the PC brigade. The hate is yours.
Also I've said nothing inconsistent with Christian theology either. It's just the ignorance of those here who know nothing about it or have been indoctrinated by false "liberal Christianity." I've explained the truth many times but nobody cares, they know better than an actual Christian knows of course. You all seem to think it's Christian to subject innocent people to a murderous ideology. You think it's racist and bigoted to want to defend the country from it. I'm sorry, the ignorance and lack of true compassion is shown by the attitudes here, not by me.
My views are Christian and I'm neither a bigot nor a racist nor a sexist nor a homophobe nor a xenophobe or any of the PC bag of tricks you all mindlessly use against an innocent person.

Re: Political Correctness
I don't care what anyone thinks of me as long as it comes out of the Marxist mindset of PC. What would be wonderful is if people came to understand the philosophical and political situation as it really is instead of viewing it all through the hateful PC worldview.

Sure you have, all the time. It's what you do. For example, tell us again how it's okay to discriminate against LGBT's if it's part of your religious beliefs.
That is all an invention of the Leftist mindset here.
I think I just disproved this statement, and I don't have a leftist mindset. What I have is a "treat others as I would be treated" mindset.
I don't care what your exact political position is you are thinking like all the Leftists here on PC.
No, what I'm doing is thinking like anyone with compassion and empathy.
You are doing to me what is always done by the PC brigade. The hate is yours.
Except that no hate is being expressed by anyone but you.
And yes, we know, any Christian who doesn't share your particular religious beliefs is a false Christian. You don't have to keep reminding us.
I've explained the truth many times but nobody cares, they know better than an actual Christian knows of course.
I hope you're not holding yourself up as the archetype Christian. That would be scary.
You all seem to think it's Christian to subject innocent people to a murderous ideology.
"Murderous ideology"? Whatever are you on about? Would that be any ideology that isn't yours?
You think it's racist and bigoted to want to defend the country from it.
No - we think it's racist and bigoted to hate your fellow man.
I'm sorry, the ignorance and lack of true compassion is shown by the attitudes here, not by me.
But it is by you. Your words speak for themselves.

Re: Political Correctness
Well, everything I said about PC is being confirmed in spades of course. You do it well, just like any good Leftist.
Did you happen to listen to any of David Horowitz's talk on the video in the OP? He did a good job on PC too.

The only place anything is being confirmed is inside your own head.

I'm not a leftist. I just don't hate everybody who's not like me, and that makes you think I'm somebody you have to call names.

Your video is an hour long. You really need to begin giving time and length of the portions you want people to listen to. I don't even have a spare hour to watch videos I *want* to watch, I'm certainly not going to spend an hour watching a random Internet video suggested by someone with your degree of crazy.
But speaking of your OP, how does a movement that is in the minority at both the state and federal levels become totalitarian? I think maybe you don't know what totalitarian means.

Re: Political Correctness
Yikes you think totalitarian has to be in power to be totalitarian? No, it's a mindset, it's a worldview, it's a goal, it's a will to dominate when it has the chance. The sane people in the country are hoping it won't get the chance, thanks to Trump.
Leftist is a mindset too. You have it about PC.

Re: Political Correctness
So your idea of "totalitarianism" is refusing to submit to you.
Who was the one insisting that the courts weren't allowed to stop Trump ? Who was the one who insisted that the courts decisions were wrong without even bothering to read them let alone understand the legal basis ? Who routinely tries to pass off her opinions off as facts and insults people who disagree ? Who feels free to falsely attack others but screams when her own egregious faults are pointed out ?
I'd say that that person is the biggest totalitarian on the site.

Words don't mean whatever you want them to mean. What you're describing is something more like "contemptuous," or maybe more critically, "supercilious".
Leftist is a mindset too. You have it about PC.
Nope, still wrong. Like I said, I just don't hate my fellow man the way you do. You can't deny it, all you can do is invent excuses.

Re: Political Correctness

That you think that the Black Panther Party was a "band of murderous thugs," while the American revolutionaries were not, is a hint of the deep well of racism from which you continue to draw from. You apparently consider the existence of the white power structure of the 60s and 70s not deserving of the violence that British troops were subjected to in 1775 and beyond. One wonders why.
Your critique of anything that is unapologetically pro-black and anti-white-supremacy (e.g., Black Lives Matter) is another clue to your racism. Racism isn't just hurling epithets and discrimination against an individual; it can also manifest itself in the defense of white supremacy, power, and privilege, and that's something you routinely do.

You can't have it both ways. You can't rely on innuendo that 'liberation' means 'Marxist' and thus violence while getting upset that when you call groups of black people 'thugs' people think you are being racist. Either 'clues' are good enough to condemn others and you, or neither.

Summary on PC
They call me a racist a bigot, a hater and the whole PC arsenal, but deny it while throwing the usual PC lies at me. They are sure they are right, just as I said, they can't understand how they aren't. They try to make conservatives out to be PC though there is nothing comparable: critical judgments are not PC. I've tried to sort it all out but it doesn't make a dent in the PC mentality. To me that's amazing because it's so clearly exactly what I've said it is, and what Horowitz said it is in the video speech in the OP: The haughty moral certainty of it, the willingness to destroy the opponent. They confirm it over and over but it makes no diference. All that happens is that more PC trashing comes down on my head. It's hopeless.
