Re: briar patch
I strongly support the U.S. government being able to enforce its border including detaining aliens who enter without inspection and conducting removals of the. And I support the government making and enforcing laws about price gouging and monopolies in health care. I have never once thought "G...

Re: briar patch
When a few people celebrated CK's death you assigned that attitude to "half the country." When a person claiming Christianity does a despicable thing you can conveniently deny any connection to Christianity. Christianity, as an ideology, does not call for assassinating its opponents. (The...

Re: briar patch
(There also isn't any such thing as a "Christian" ideology that calls for assassinating political opponents, so by definition he was not a "Christian extremist". He was something else.) No true Scotsman? When a few people celebrated CK's death you assigned that attitude to "...

Re: Entire Michigan city government is Muslim
Time will tell, but there's a lot more political opposition to someone like Hegseth . . . Do you have evidence for this, or just a feeling based on news you have seen? You may be right that there is more overt political opposition at the moment, but it seems highly unlikely to me that Americans as ...

Re: People living in extreme poverty 1820-2025
How is the daily average of $2.00 per day calculated? How does their analysis include the amount of food and other commodities acquired through direct work (such as cutting and processing timber for one's own buildings, hunting & gathering for food stuffs, and growing crops and meat sources 'fr...

Re: Progressive Conservative Mennonite Churches
For families that have at least one child high school age or younger, including adult children from those families, and not excluding those who might have more children in the future (I expect some will, but how would one forecast that?). For my church: Range: 1-9 Average: 2.9 Median: 3 Mode: 3 Usi...

Re: Progressive Conservative Mennonite Churches
For those of you who are part of churches in the Progressive (Fundamental) Conservative constituency, what is your guess as to the average family size? (I'm thinking of families in which the parents are 40 and younger and who spent most of their adult years in this constituency) For those over 40 w...

Re: Introductions
I have this kind of ironic two-pronged dream or vision of working a high-tech career but living a traditional (homestead) lifestyle at the same time. I’ll look forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences on this. I have spent a good bit of my life feeling pulled in both of those directions as ...

Re: New Songs, New Sermons, New Prayers, New Devotionals - Why?
In response to the original question, it seems to me true conservatives tend to freeze musical and preaching styles and language where it was just before they broke from their original group. True progressives see it as self-evident that these things need to change to keep up with the current cultur...
