The defining line comes at some point though. Paul states that civil power is delegated by God for good. Therefore any use of civil power for evil is the power of man, not God. To resist such is thus not resisting God but men.

Yeah, they already can and do revoke seats for selling to some ####### who ends up pouring a beer over someone's head - something impossible to predict. Come back and talk when we're on year 30 of having a first ballot HOFer at QB.

Buy your own football team.

Friend/enemy dichotomy all the way down. Musk is learning this in real time.

Would anyone care to explain how mass immigration by definition voids the political contract inherent to Tib's beloved representative democracy?

We're on track to have more migrant crossings this year than all of the immigrants that got processed through Ellis Island, all time.

That's not the point.

Unemployed and on the wrong side of 25? Pass.

I’m waiting for the generation who enlisted after 9/11 to finish their statements before I represent the generation who grew up watching Building 7 videos on YouTube.

It is actually his name. He happened to produce some trashy tv which I guess is enough to get verified.

I can’t believe all the love the dolphins are getting. Can’t wait until tyreek is bitching about tua in week 6. Final standings: Bills 13-4 Pats 9-8 Jets 7-10 Phins 6-11

Googled it because it popped up today and I didn't already know - turns out Colorado is a mandatory DV arrest state, for misdemeanors and felonies.

Simply a restatement of this principle:

I’ve been called every name in the book by people who are probably better than you over the past couple of years. I really don’t care what you might think about me, and nothing you will do or say can make me feel shame about anything I might think, so save your screeching for someone who might listen. That out of the way, what do you think the purpose of this rhetoric is? ⬇️

Found that one back a bit. I didn't make any claims for myself. But the weaponized cynicism by libs is on full display here. There are arguments to be made as to what demography means for the identity and culture of a nation, not to mention its politics and laws.

And predictably, PPP's libs pretending that anybody who merely thinks a demographic change is undesirable is peddling a conspiracy theory.

Yeah I understand the sentiment but he’s an idiot. And the sentiment is incorrect anyway.

Obligatory reminder that there were decades when you could mail order with zero oversight US military surplus rifles and full cap mags and we didn't have the kinds of problems we do now.

Serious conservatives should not be participating in any discussion about this shooting. Why would you care? Can you name the NYC Subway shooter? How about the guy who livestreamed himself shooting at a DC school? No? Do you know why that is? You have no obligation to humor the faux outrage libs decide to blanket TV and social media with 24/7 after some kid copy/pasted edgy old 4chan content into a google doc and shot a bunch of people. The reality is that the vast majority of people in the country are gonna talk about this for 15 minutes then go fill up their Camry with $6 a gallon gas and buy $7/lb ground beef and realize they have issues that actually matter to them. Vote and apply legal pressure as needed, but the failure to recognize the "mass shooting" issue as simple friend/enemy dichotomy at play again is unconscionable.

Sometimes dudes only give you one route to the desired outcome, which in this case presumably is the return of the woman's belongings.

Are you talking about the oral contraceptive? I think they didn't come around until the 60s? But there were other methods that yes, were legal. Some places criminalized the oral contraceptive in some situations but that disappeared fairly quickly. Yeah Hoover was post-industrialization but you were saying that things are better for the elderly now than they ever have been, no? If not I read it wrong. But yeah early industrialization and urbanization was very hard on the elderly. There are some semantic differences between "life expectancy up" and "people live longer." But all of those "good things" would have happened without the mainstream conservative heel-turn.

We're running into fundamental philosophical differences now but a lot of it hinges on what we consider a "quality" life. It's ok to differ on that but my problem with Conservative, Inc. is that they have swallowed whole the underlying theoretical premises of postmodern liberal thought and just added endless war and blind shilling for megacorps.

I don't mean to sound like a douche but, define "better off." I didn't say things were bad for average Americans during many of those years but I think the precedents and the ideas put in motion in our government starting in that time period got us way off track with no course correction in the meantime.

Yes, I'm not rich by any reasonable American standard but I had several non-random advantages that much of the population could also have with certain targeted legislation. Somewhere along the way the American conservative movement got completely hijacked by corporate oligarchies and abandoned many of the principles of nation-building that made this country great. Somewhere between Hoover and Kennedy the US lost the mandate of heaven. Technocratic corporatism and managerial politics have led to this weird two-headed monster in our government that has completely lost sight of the average American citizen and worker in favor of CEOverlords and weird obsessions with narrow economic issues and principles that affect less than 10% of the population. Pile on top of that several gerontocrats refusing to give up power even as they slide into mental failure and we're left with a failed society. For those of us with some means the effects of this are felt on a much smaller scale as we can: pick up and move to an area where we can be left to our own devices (USA is big and in many places is sparsely populated), find alternative routes for our children in education and trade, arrange communities that self-govern, etc. For the average American this is impossible, which is why the "leave me alone" camp will always lose: they fail to recognize or simply don't care that the people they claim to represent do not benefit from most of their political stances.
