? We would?As for the OP, according to Biden's own words, then we would fit his own definition.
Yes, by all means, let’s be honest.His words.....let us be honest.
If this were actually true, then why so many disagreements over Biblical interpretations even among Christians?
No-one expects the American Inquisition!Good point. Biblicism only settles things for the intellectually naive.
Biblicism is really just a mask for authoritarianism, often of the autocratic sort.
What indignation? I am not a Trump supporter nor am I bashing Biden. Just because you voted for him does not mean he is going to do a great job. Are you blinded by your bias and unable to admit it if he starts failing the American people? Some Democrats are. I am willing to give anyone a chance to prove themselves but if they aren't doing the job I do not stay so loyal to the candidate to not call them on it.The Hyde amendment is still intact but don’t let that derail the indignation.
The clear picture is that he voted no to aiding people struggling from coronavirus, he voted no to getting gear to the frontline workers, he voted no to extending the rent and mortgage suspension, he voted no to a bunch of stuff that would help Americans right now.Trump signed 220 Executive orders.
But! -- it turns out that after the 2020 election Trump signed 25 new Executive Orders in that short time span from November 12, 2020 through Jan 20th, 2021!

Of course, as you'd expect, Biden has been in part just reversing some of Trump's huge number of EOs.
So, you shouldn't read too much into the number. Look at in a year, and that might help paint a more clear picture.
You didn't offend me but I've never heard a guy call a woman buddy. That is generally reserved for guy to guy interaction, am I wrong?I never knew buddy was specifically for one gender . I'm sorry if I offended you by calling you buddy .

You don't base your life on the Bible? Do you read it or consider it at all? If not, how come?No.
I don't understand your reasoning. It doesn't follow that because fundamentalist Christians believe the Bible is true, and that I don't have any book I base my life on, therefore the Bible must be true.
Well it is true. I plan on giving him a chance to do the job he was elected to do. I have just gotten bombarded by people when I was just basing the question on Bidens own words. I wasn't calling him a dictator. People have a weird way of reading into a question when it is just that. A question with no opinion one way or the other. It wasn't rhetorical.The indignation you're exhibiting related to this administrations position on abortion and this presidents use of EO in his first weeks in office.
I doubt he will be a great president and in voted against his opposition more than for him. All I am hoping for is competent mediocrity.
Nope. Thus far he's only good by comparison and as what I am comparing him to gets farther into the rear view he's going to look less and less appealing. It may not go that way but who knows.
I am not nor have I ever been a member of the Democratic party.
Your posts in this thread do not give me that impression.

Its pretty common for a new president to sign a bunch of EOs in their first days in office. It’s an easy promise to make in a campaign and uphold as a sort of early win for the voter base once in office but in reality executive orders don’t carry the same weight as the law and can be overruled or overturned by the next administration. Ultimately the number of executive orders isn’t what makes a president dictatorial but the nature of the orders coupled with their general approach to implementing their will above that of the people. The president should be a servant of the people. When one tries using their power to serve themselves ahead of the people, that’s when they cross into a dictatorship.When Donald Trump became president, he signed 12 executive orders in his first month in office. Joe Biden called this " Executive Overreach" saying "you only find this in a Dictatorship". When Joe Biden became President, he signed 28 in his first 2 weeks in office, and he isn't finished. By his own words, is he looking to become a dictator?
Yes. The damage a president can do isn’t limited to the number of executive orders they sign. If the need is there to address many different problems that have come up from the last administration then that doesn’t necessarily have to line up solely with damages done by previous EOs.* PLEASE NOTE - I am not a Republican or a Democrat. I am a concerned American who feels if he was undoing damage then his Executive orders should have matched Trumps. Am I wrong?
I don’t have kids but if I did I’d be the one with control over their lives and not the President of the United States. I just need the president to do his job of signing bills into law and representing and leading the country with class and dignity, and not vanity and narcissism.If you are a Democrat, are you still not a skeptical American, concerned that Biden might not do what's right or are you blinded by your opinion and would Trust the man with the lives of your children?
No.
I don't understand your reasoning. It doesn't follow that because fundamentalist Christians believe the Bible is true, and that I don't have any book I base my life on, therefore the Bible must be true.
That's religious fundamentalism, not that different from what you'ld find ISIS or the Taliban believing in. "Book X says it, I believe it, that settles it". And it always requires force and violence to persuade somebody to accept that kind of logic.
No I don't (hence the "other religion" designation)

I agree. Very good points. Thank you for not attacking me on my question. This is what I was looking for- just a straightforward non-aggressive answer that didn't assume I was against Biden or calling him a dictator- because I wasnt.Its pretty common for a new president to sign a bunch of EOs in their first days in office.

not that I was aware ofYou didn't offend me but I've never heard a guy call a woman buddy. That is generally reserved for guy to guy interaction, am I wrong?
I know how to ask a question. I should be allowed to ask it without presumptuous people assuming it was asked in a negative light. He has not been in office long enough for me to have any real opinion of him so I wasn't knocking him. I was just asking basing it on his own words.One of the wiki’s has an article about “just asking questions”; if you Google that phrase you can find it.
