Re: Can the right handle winning?
Well, the House won't allocate the money to expand the detention centers, what do you expect?

The border wall needs to be done. It's Congress that's making it impossible.

Re: Can the right handle winning?
Yuck, what sickening Trump bashing. If there's one thing Trump does well it's negotiating. You think Mexico would be easily bullied? Well, if they are then Trump succeeded by bullying. That's successful negotiating too, to know your target well enough to know what they'll accept.
What a bunch of sickening Trump bashing.

Re: Republican Senate: Roadblock to good government
It's the Democratic House that's the roadblock to good government, which is a gross understatement.

Yes today's Left/Izquierdo really is Marxist, even Stalinist
I love Mark Levin. He's the most knowledgeable of the talk show hosts about the history of America and especially the history of the Left. Yes this post will no doubt be riddled with the asterisks of the Mad Censor because it's about everything he wants to get rid of. So you'll have to resort to the "Peek" button if you care.
Levin has written a bunch of books I'm sure I'd love to read if my eyes weren't so bad, with titles like "Liberty and Tyranny" and "Men in Black" (about the corruption of the Supreme Court) and his latest, "Unfreedom of the Press" from which he's read a lot on his program recently -- good stuff.
Oh I know EvC can only hate all this and will only say mean things about this post but I'm here to post about what *I* appreciate anyway.
Today he read from an article in a magazine called City Journal, by a Harry Stein, about today's "progessive" Democrats and other leftists, as seen through a book written in 1941 by a Eugene Lyons, about the same political mess that existed in those days, titled "The Red Decade." The article is titled "The Red Decade Redux."
I know of course that nobody here will accept that today's Left has anything in common with Stalinism but I might as well make another effort to get the point across even knowing it will be trashed. It matters hugely, it represents the destruction of America if it isn't stopped.
So here's the first paragraph of the article on the subject:
It may be that the best book that will ever be written about today’s progressive mind-set was published in 1941. That in The Red Decade author Eugene Lyons was, in fact, describing the Communist-dominated American Left of the Depression-wracked 1930s and 1940s makes his observations even more meaningful, for it is sobering to be confronted with how little has been gained by hard experience. The celebration of feelings over reason? The certainty of moral virtue? The disdain for tradition and the revising of history for ideological ends? The embrace of the latest definition of correct thought? Lyons was one of the most gifted reporters of his time, and among the bravest, and his story of the spell cast by Stalinist-tinged social-justice activism over that day’s purported best and brightest”literary titans, Hollywood celebrities, leading academics, religious leaders, media heavies”would be jaw-dropping if it weren’t so eerily familiar.
The book, the Red Decade is online by the way.

Right, it's impossible to be wrong about how EvC is going to respond to a post about how today's Left is llke Communism in the thirties, even if the source is a book written in 1941 by a respected journalist who llved through it, was first enamored of it and then changed his mind.

Right, your opinion is far more important than the article about the book that I linked, which aims to show that today's Left IS llke the Communism of the thirties. No need to consider any of that, your own opinion trumps it all. Of course. There is no such thing as new information that might give you a different perspective. That absolutely cannot happen.

Commie Style Censorship
All the asterisks I've been getting certainly seem to confirm that we're living in an era when the Left can't be criticized at all, very much like the days of Stalinist Communism. Can't even use the term "censorship."
Funny too, that if you read the list of FAQs at the top of the page you'll run across the question -- fifth from the bottom -- if there are any censor provisions or something like that, and if you click on it you get the answer that this site does not engage in censorship.
Unless that's been removed recently.

Re: Yes today's Left/Izquierdo really is Marxist, even Stalinist
I hadn't even heard of Mark Levin until I started listening to conservative talk radio after the midterm elections last Fall. Llke Rush Limbaugh who also started out rejecting Trump, he eventually came around, whether in time to vote for him I don't know, and he's now a strong Trump supporter. I also started out thinking I couldn't vote for Trump. So we changed our minds.

I don't want to "talk" anyone out of any of that, the whole point of posting the article was so its reasoning could be considered. If you are happier without reading it there's nothing I can do about that.

Heavens, I KNOW what Democrats propose and it is scary. The article on the book goes into more detail about how similar today's Democratic party and Leftist policies are to those of the thirties. You may think the policies are all lovely, but it might be eyeopening to find out they are right out of the Marxist playbook.

Ocasio Cortez' duplicity
Gosh those horrifying conditions at the border. Created by the overwhelming invasion of illegals which the existing facilities can't handle cuz the money wasn't appropriated to handle them. Of course that's blamed on the Republicans even if it's the Democrats' doing. But hey, would EvC ever hear that this House member voted AGAINST funding for humanitarian needs at the border and yet she's complaining about the humanitarian problems at the border?

Anglagard's wonderfully fair and peaceable reaching out to evangelicals
Answer to anglagard's Message 125"
Faith writes:
Certainly. Nations must be ruled by Law. Jesus came to fulfill the Law on behalf of those who believe in Him. He teaches forgiveness of sinners, He addresses individuals for salvation.
Nations have to be governed by Law, to keep the peace by restraining crime, and Law is found in the Old Testament.
You have broken the conditions of my non-interference with all this blatant hypocrisy..
What hypocrisy? Everything I said I believe to be biblical and have no idea what you are talking about.
So what do Evangelicals stand for?
Apparently they support Trump and therefore support the Prince of Lies.
He has plenty of lamentable personality traits, as do most of us, but none of them reaches to that level, and his virtues as a President outweigh them.
They support theft through the worship of billionaires despite what Jesus said about camels and needles.
Now that is an outright lye. He's stolen nothing, that's a lye from the socialist anticapitalist mindset which understands absolutely nothing about the creation of wealth and bludgeons perfectly innocent poeople with its lyes. And nobody "worships" him, we simply like his political policies and, really, may be even more on his side because of the unjustified attacks on him.
Prosperity Gospel is a pyramid scheme.
I thlnk of it as simple theft and fraud myself.
They support adultery, forcible rape, and child molestation as evidenced by support for Trump and his buddies, 22 accusations and counting.
Yeah, mere allegations and rumors are enough for you guys, who have no concern whatever for truth, and don't mind lylng about his supporters who only heard this stuff recently. So it's just more fake news,unproven allegations so recent there is no reason to take them seriously. Funny how Clinton got a pass on his actual attacks on women that he ended up losing his law license and having to pay fines over. Trump's political enemies keep dreaming up accusations against him but so far it's nothing BUT accusations none of it has been prosecuted, but lyes are good enough for the Izquierdo.
They usurp the prerogative of God by declaring themselves saved.
Well, if you don't understand Christian theology llet me explain it: the scripture, the apostle John to be exact, tells us to be assured of our salvation and gives us the basis for knowing we are saved. So the Bible being God's word, it is God Himself who wants us to know we are saved. He's exercised his prerogative in saving us already, and now tells us to recognize it.
They ignore the beatitudes, the parable of the sheep and goats, and pretty much everything Jesus ever said that does not include declaring themselves saved.
Nobody ignores any of that, but usually salvation is the topic that needs to be brought up on a public message board. And those teachings do not apply to governments, they apply to individuals.
They support the murder of immigrant children as a precursor of Operation Reinhardt.
You will be held accountable for your lyes. And most of the policies at the border were practiced under Obama, and Trump merely inherited them. the deaths of children are sad but they arrived slck and the border personnel are overworked, though I doubt any of it is their fault. The media just never bothered to report on these problems when their Messiah was in the White House.
You worship a false god.
Yes, it does seem that our political opponents have a particular love of projecting their own sins on the Right.
Don't worry, the Democratic Socialists are here to feed the poor, heal the sick, and comfort the afflicted, as is our sacred duty.
Well, delusion does seem to be the guiding principle of the Democratic Socialists, starting with that ridiculous misnomer.
Millennials can spot a phony.
I certainly hope so.
