Which candidate is already demonstrating wise leadership?
That's why bin Laden COULDN'T return to his homeland. The Saudi government had the executioner ready to CHOP off his head. They have their public punishments every Friday morning at the local town square.
What is a “narrative”?
A collection of lies and intentional deceptions.
I have often heard that the daily news in this country is a “narrative”.
The daily news in this country is a collection of lies and intentional deceptions.
So is our government for that matter.
I am damn tired of being lied to.
Maybe someone should sprinkle her with water to see if she'll melt.
Failing that, some blessed holy water might do the trick.
We simply can’t have Islamic jihadists being called Islamic when they are yelling Allahu Akbar (Allah is greater) while they emulate their prophet by killing infidels as instrcted in their book.
It might give Islam a bad name and hurt their feelings and then they’ll want to kill us as they are commanded to do in their book by their prophet.
Islam is evil
Mad Mo made it so
According to Hillary, FDR caused the Bataan Death March by calling Pearl Harbor a day of infamy.
ISIS is just a wicked boogy man. Islam is the problem. Fixing ISIS won’t solve the issues.
Is a narrative that kills gays, rapes women, kills children?
Was it a narrative that is used to behead people? She is the enemy within. Western civilization is dead if this witch somehow wins..this is the last stand
I’m convinced these idiots live in a “sticks and stones” child’s fantasy land and cannot acknowledge reality because it does not comport with their mental illness.
That is a very good point about narratives there.
It isn’t a war of narratives at all. Only one side is using a narrative. Ours.
muslims are many things, but one thing that they are not is dishonest. They have been telling us for quite sometime now exactly who they are and exactly why they are doing what they do.
And then it is our side, the dishonest ones, who come in with the narrative of lies.
And the reason they do this is because “our side” is so utterly dishonest that they are trying to use the terrorist activity of muslims to help advance their own twisted agenda.
With regard to Western Civilization, personally I am at a point where, if it decides to elect this God awful creature as its leader, then Western Civilization deserves to cease to exist. At such time, it will have been a total failure.
If it is smart enough to attempt to save itself, then great. If not, well bye.
Many of us, maybe the majority of us have felt at sometime in our life that the world doesn't ‘care’ about us. That life is hard and we are on the outside and that if we fall there won't be someone there to pick us up. There are probably plenty of unemployed people who feel that their purpose in life, and their identities have been lost. Life can be hard. However, most people don't take this as an excuse to go out and take the lives of others. This is not an indictment of all Muslims - by any stretch. It is, however, an admission that Islam has within its ranks a big problem right now, and its a problem that puts us all at risk.
A narrative is an imposition of a point of view.
Reject the government narrative and the media narrative and substitute your own.
Ultimately your choice of narrator for the story of your life is your own. I would decline to defer that choice to those who are suspiciously eager to make the choice for you.
All the Hillary news today is “HILLARY and the White House say this”, “Hillary and obama say that”. Guess she is going with the obama coattails plan. This week.
“A narrative is an imposition of a point of view.”
Yeah, that is a good way to describe it, and it becomes problematic when the point of view is that of a liar.
We all have to be our own narrators. I know I have to be mine.
I only trust two people in this world, me and my dog. She doesn’t lie, she can’t, but many years ago I used to be a stinking liar, round the time I was about 21 or so. Told so many damn lies I couldn’t even keep track of which BS I told to which person and ended up making a total fool out of myself to people that I love. Lying sucks, so I stopped.
Truth is the only thing that matters. All else is a waste of precious time. There is no point in considering anything other than pure truth.
Frankly, if our government and our media operates on lies, then there is no real point in their existing.
You hear that, people who were bombed and stabbed?
Those were just words!
ISIS is run by a jihadi with a PhD in.... Islamic Doctrine. I strongly suspect that he knows WAY more about ISLAM than an aa community organizer. Islam is totally incompatible with a Civil Society. As are Hussein and H->!.
Frankly I hope these terrorists go after her and her family as it seems like no big deal to her. They can have her.
Classic Christian faith claims that the souls of all humanity dived into dishonesty. If we can’t always know what the truth is, or get it wrong sometimes, it’s humanity’s collective fault.
You might have abandoned things that were the most obvious lies, but never has a human understood, or truly wanted to understand, 100% of everything. It’s too painful; we’re too ugly under the surface.
This is where a Savior, who is a person, not a group of impersonal doctrines, comes into the Christian picture.
Correctomundo!
... and one of the consequences of this situation which humans are in is that absolutes, in this world, are the more difficult to find the closer they get to the question of what humanity is and is about. This is why mathematics is an exact science and anthropology isn’t. Ultimately a postulate of pure faith is needed to make sense of the human question. And this fits the Christian thesis that people knew God once (faith) and then chose to ignore God. I can show such a faith plausible; I can urge people to test it, as it were, by experiment. But I can’t issue a formal proof of it, which would be only as good as its postulates. If it isn’t self proving, it isn’t anything.
