Are you sure it's not because you've had to pay billions of dollars in settlements for priests raping children?

Are you sure that's not why?

I'm sure he will, by giving Ukraine to Russia and letting them murder Zelensky.

Yeah, it's over

That's appropriate because Reagan is the worst in every year.

We should all just be glad he didn't die from falling out of a window!

When I was 15, I told a girl that she should audition for the elite choir at our school (she was very talented). She said she would audition if I would audition (I had no vocal talent) but I auditioned and being one of the only males I got in. I fell in love with singing, worked my ass off, went to college on a vocal scholarship and now 20 years later I am the vocal coach for the largest theatre in our state. That little moment, which she probably doesn't even remember, changed my entire life trajectory.

And how is that worked out? Every time it's been tried the people who are in the government take all the power and rule with tyranny over their citizens. Communism only empowers the people in the minds of idealists who think that it works. Every time it's actually implemented it's just dictatorships under fancy names.

Because every time it has existed it just leads to a huge amount of government power without actually empowering the people. The people may be protected from corporations but they are not protected from their own government.

We should take this list and divide it into government districts. There are a lot of unhappy people and a lot of parts of states, conservatives in states where liberal centers control politics, and vice versa. This map corrects a lot of those areas of people with similar beliefs could be divided into similar districts.

Any system which requires government coercion over individuals is never going to be feasible because the greedy will always find a way into power. That's why it hasn't worked for communism, and that's why it hasn't worked for capitalism. What we need is a government specifically set up to protect individuals from corporations. The more we can empower individuals and the common worker, the better off we will be. Communism is not the answer to that, neither is capitalism.

I have met Doug Wilson personally, he lives in my state. He also wrote a rather lengthy book that includes things like "slavery wasn't really as bad as people make it seem". I had the unfortunate opportunity of listening to him preach a sermon on how hitting your kids is really the only godly way to discipline. He's a terrible human being, and it is terrible how many people have joined his cult, Christ Church, operating out of Moscow, Idaho.
