Can someone point to a country - now our in the past - that is a great success example of Conservative Rule? Can someone show me where all the great successful countries in the past and now - are not liberal democracies? If you're going to make historical proclamations, it helps to have at least a basic understanding of history first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Libertarianism is the long arched goal of the progression of human freedom, which is still in it's infancy against the backdrop of the entirety of human history, and faces constant resistance from would be dictators and supporters of monarchy. It has never been tried, because it has yet to be achieved. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The date in question-- June 26, 2017-- is the same day SCOTUS granted cert to the Masterpiece case. She's a local lawyer. Come on. .

IDBillzFan Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 The left setting up the cakeshop owner again is precisely why the left is losing. It's not longer something that just happened...it's something that is staged to bring down someone to force liberal thinking on everyone. Just embarrassing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDBillzFan Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 1 hour ago, row_33 said: As much imagination as lazy Hollywood script writing The problem is that as a staged, targeted hit on a small business owner, it promotes the hypocrisy of the left with little accountability. The left is trying to make a point. The challenge is that the point they SAY they're making and the point they really ARE making are two different things. They SAY they're dealing with a bigot because he refuses to do everything the left wants him to do for a homosexual. This baker, in fact, creates product for many gays. He chooses not to partake in the ceremony, and the left simply finds that unacceptable. But again, understanding this is all staged, ask yourself: why does the left go after the Christian baker, but not the Muslim baker? Why is it always a Christian baker in these staged events?

You are correct, we rarely disagree anyway. its just all so pointless and all this attention handed over for no useful accomplishment Tuning out is the only solution, when advertisers start acting on the fact media is not worth the $$$ then it will change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not pointless. It's downright scary as hell. The baker has managed to survive because people came to his aid. Like they rallied for Chick-fil-A. But they can't come to everyone's aid. And the left knows this. They're out of control on this kind of stuff, which is one of the main reasons I cheer for the destruction of their ideology.
