Re: Poll: Daniel Perry - Should he have been pardoned?
Well, of all the convicted criminals in Texas do YOU think that Daniel Perry was most deserving of a pardon? Do you think he was wrongly convicted? Do you think he has shown remorse? It's obviously a political statement. Given that left-wing governors refuse to prosecute left-wing violence and use ...

Re: Poll: Daniel Perry - Should he have been pardoned?
As a general rule, if you don't have left-wing politics, you'd better fear for your life if you are in a blue city (like Austin) and you find yourself stuck in a violent protest. Democratic and left-wing prosecutors have made it very clear they won't prosecute crimes like fleeing the police, carjac...

Re: Poll: Daniel Perry - Should he have been pardoned?
Well, a free-for-all open-carry environment will produce these kinds of things... Arbitrary, politically motivated pardon's aren't going to help an already problematic scenario, but many in the USA seem to want this kind of random picking/choosing based on loyalties and other rules of the jungle, ra...

Re: Autocrat vs Institutionalist
Choose your poison I suppose. Institutional corruption is real for sure, but by and large, I think your institutional assessment is overly cynical (although commonly held on the far right and far left of the political spectrum). That being said, it seems to me that an all-powerful autocrat poses a ...

Re: Autocrat vs Institutionalist
Some here believe this retired pastor is too partisan... but I'm going to keep linking him because he addresses, through the lens of Jesus and the Bible, the issues that keep coming up on this forum. This recent video very much relates to this question of autocrat vs institutionalist... Here he's co...

Re: Autocrat vs Institutionalist
Well, Ken, one of the autocrat's appeals is essentially telling people they don't have to think through the kinds of questions you're raising. They have an end in mind (ie no more illegal immigrants in our land anywhere/anytime) but either don't want to think through the means - or - have a bit of a...

A great analogy for Anabaptist church/state understanding
Putting aside the political figures discussed or this former pastor's Nov vote choice, I thought his analogy of ambassadorship was very good... I'm not sure what branch of Christianity he comes from, but he almost sounds like an Anabaptist. The ambassador for Christ analogy occupies about the middle...

Re: “Former government lawyers say we need to limit the president's ability to deploy U.S. troops at home”
I guess this isn't related to the OP question... but tangentially related? But why would anyone want to give a president more 'immunity from criminal charges!' when the guy their arguing for isn't in office anymore, but the other guy/president (who they detest and fear and believe is really bad!) is...

Re: Will the issues you care about be priorities for a Trump-family run RNC?
Whataboutism... This thread is about Trump & family. And no, Biden doesn't have anything close to the legal bills that Trump has incurred upon himself. Not a good, factual like-for-like comparison, imho. LOL...Chiding those who compare Trump to Biden in the first sentence. Next sentence does ex...

Re: A letter I sent my senators, please consider similar.
Has anyone read this The Best Way to Regulate Social Media... and what do you think of the author's suggestion? I think it is too clever by half and would be ineffective due to the algorithmic nature of social media. In other words, because of the algorithms and interactive nature of social media, ...
