  1. "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." C.S. Lewis

  2. I'm one of those old people. Covid 19 doesn't scare me..never did. I looked at (and continue to) the mortality rate vs population. The term I use is Rounding Error.

  4.  @josefinajosefina9456  I haven't had a tv since broadcast went digital (2007?) I really don't miss it. "Better impartial news outside the mainstream, indeed!" Dave Rubin...Tim Pool...The Epoch Times...etc...Etc. One thing I've started doing last year. One day a week...NO News. The Absolutely Amazing thing is, the next day I discover...Didn't Miss A Damn Thing. One thing.

  8.  @stevenrichards1539  Humanities/Liberal Arts is supposed to teach someone How to Think, it seems these days they teach What do think. This is bad enough, but the "New & Improved" Humanities has moved into the Hard Sciences, and the Boardrooms...ie out into the broader culture.

  9.  @curtgomes  "In this most turbulent time in USA History," Have you ever opened and read a history book?

  10. What I've been trying to figure out is just Why am I supposed to care what Race someone might be? It seems to me there are 2 groups that care about someones Race. White Supremacists & Democrats neither having much to do with Conservatism.

  11.  @marcushale678  I don't trust politicians...even the ones I like/support. They are a necessary evil. Too many people hold them in to high regard, and think they can do no wrong. I'm thinking Barack Obama (remember "Now Is The Age Of Obama"?) and (what I call) the "Ever Trumpers"...ie we must never disagree with the Great And Powerful Trump. History...History...History. To many people only pay attention to history when it suits them, and then only at a superficial level.

  12. I am a Christian because it allows me to answer 3 questions, with the smallest leaf of faith. 1. How do you get Something from Nothing? 2. How do you get Life from Non-Life? (most importantly) 3. What Happened To The Body (of Jesus)?

  13.  @claudiachurch4285  Something I recall reading many decades ago. This was written about communists, but applies to "The Woke" (is their Really any difference?) I paraphrase..."They love and care about The People. Its people they despise."

  14. "I was probably the least likely to convert!" Shades of CS Lewis.

  15. The question I've been asking is What If (god forbid) Todays Democrats win the White House & Senate? Start fulfilling what the say they will do...Green New Deal....Intersectionality....Social Credit system...etc etc...What do we the great unwashed (conservatives libertarians...center/left).. do?

  16.  @thermionic1234567  Never Let A Crisis Go To Waste. The depressing thing is how many people are apparently buying into the narrative. I hope this is starting to change with these latest lockdown orders.

  17. Leigh Anne One of the good things about being a geezer is you get to an age where you no longer really give a damn what someone says about you. Of course for some of us this has always been the case.

  27.  @ronanmartin2362  "Sociology and gender studies etc, are a load of nonsense and should be removed from curriculums" Sociology IMO not so much. Gender studies, well actually anything with the word Studies is Crap.

  31. Its called The Narrative. One view and one view only is allowed. Here's the thing, (and I..Could..Be..Wrong), take 3 topics (lets say) Abortion, Climate Change, Tax policy. Those who are Pro-Choice, are Climate Alarmists, want Higher taxes, Same People. Point being this war we are engaged in (and so far its pretty much non violent) is about more than just one topic. Its Two competing world views.

  32.  @realMaverickBuckley  Simple They Are Heretics to the New Religion...the Church Of Woke. Leftism (as opposed to Liberalism) has become a religion.

  34. @Tom Suibney ,"can i have my own . Is that possible" Certainly, Everyone has a God, of one sort or another. It appears we are hardwired to believe in something, even if it's only ourselves. The question is, is your god big enough to answer 2 small simple questions. 1. How do you get Something From Nothing? 2. How do you get Life from Non-Life? Actually there is a 3rd. You talk about "good deeds or bad". Define Good Deads, Bad Deeds? Where do you get this definition from?
    3
  35.  @andrewharmon3653  I missed the part where you actually answered the questions. Thing is (according to what is known today, around 13.8 billion years ago there was Nothing no time, no space, no matter, no energy, then suddenly there was time, space matter, energy. How did that happen. Around 4.5 billion years ago the was no life on this planet. Then suddenly there was. How did that happen? Give me a definition of Good & Bad....from a strictly materialist stand point.

  36.  @efwjwefjxz  "His temperament alone is just so opposite of them." Let me say I am a fan of Donald Trump,and his policies. IF he wins the nomination ( would not bet against it) I will gladly vote for him. That said have to disagree, Very similar temperament. Thin skinned, do not take criticism well, Very Sure of themselves.

  45.  @swordpoint9  Back in The Day (as the saying goes) I used to hang around the Far Left. 2 reasons. 1. I saw them as being the Cool People, and at that time being around the Cool and seen as Cool was really really important to me (then I grew up), 2. The women were Easy. By Easy I mean Spout the correct phrase....Party time (if you know what i mean :-))

  51.  @lifegracefaith  They used to say Safe...Legal...And Rare. I question all 3. Just because something is legal does not make it right/moral.

  57.  @quackhouseproductions5572  "there are a few bitter socialists on this comment thread crying racist" Its what they do. I have a friend, she's a lawyer, something she told me once. "If you have the facts, argue the facts. If you have the law, argue the law. If you have neither Pound The Table." Socialists/Progressives pound the table. Its all they have. OTOH, they do provide skinny old wise asses like me Hours of entertainment. "Why Nations Fail"...I'll check it out.

  78. @Lincoln Dunstan The thing is Fascism (particularly the Nazi brand) did not just spring up over night. You can trace it back to the rise of Materialism in the 19th century. Also Fascism was Very popular until 1945.
