‘No. Not until learning is the only choice left.’
Why are we so hardheaded? Or naive? Or ethical?
Don’t get me wrong: I think we conservatives are a very smart bunch of folks, certainly Trump is. And yet, we’ve walked into pitfalls time and time again.
Prayers up, indeed.
This all flows from the fatal error of not upholding the Constitution.
Obama is not a natural born citizen.
Well, I think its because folks are intellectually lazy and resistant to seeing the truth in front of their faces. People are capable of logic, but default to emotion and will construct elaborate myths to protect themselves from truths they don’t want to see. An extreme example is Germany in the mid 1930’s. In retrospect we wonder why any Jew or Romany would’ve stayed in Germany. Yet too many did. They told themselves comfortable lies and by the time kristallnacht rolled around, it was mostly too late to act.
We saw how the Obama Administration spied on Trump during an election campaign. We saw how the intelligence agencies in the US conspired with 5-eye counterparts to create the Russia-gate Steele report and try to set up a shirtsleeve trump camp follower as a mole and provocateur. We saw how good people were financially destroyed for trying to be ethical.
I think that there needs to be some wholesale changes in the US government and that will only come from change political control in all branches of government and firing a lot of career government workers who feel they are above the law.
Germany had only around 400,000 Jews in the 1930s (out of a population of 60 million). Most had left by 1940. The Jewish population centers were farther east.
‘Intellectually lazy’
May be so. Until they get so uncomfortable without their first-world problems that they are forced to see the truth.
JimRob, don’t apologize. Don’t say ‘sorry’. We agree.
PRAYERS UP.
This is the most fearful I’ve felt since 911, and before that the Cold War.
Aloha! Sounds nice.
You sound like a good friend of mine I know.
If Biden is going to send billions of dollars of military equipment to Ukraine, the Russians must be smiling. They will get all that equipment when Biden turns tail and runs again.
Agreeing with you in prayer, Jim.
Thank you for this forum.
