    Leftist Leaders Continue to Flaunt Rules

    As the populace is subverted by mandates, leaders from the left continue to flaunt the rules. This is what so many who buy into socialism/communism don't realize--once a nation is ruled by these people only the elite will benefit. The people in California have decided, it is not too late for...

    "Christian Socialism" for our American Way ??

    Where political philosophy among Christians in America is concerned, we might ask ourselves whether or not a firm subscription to Socialism would be a better way to go than sticking with a continued adherence to a modern, individualist capitalism, one seemingly plagued by a constant allowance...

    Is "socialism" a scare word in America?

    “Socialism is a scare word they have hurled at every advance that people have made in the last 20 years. Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called farm price supports. Socialism is what they called bank deposit...

    A New Era - a time for initiative

    John 10:34 Jesus answered them, `Is it not having been written in your law: I said, ye are gods? (elohim - judges; we can know good from evil) To the extent that it is true, certainly around here is appears to be true, the recent election was between supporting Trump and opposing Trump, I'm...

    Is the US drifting into Socialism?

    This may seem a really stupid question when the COVID crisis package went mainly to companies and to support the stock market, people in the lowest section of the economy live on average 14.6 years less (men) 10.1 years (women) than those higher up. But I'm hearing the continuous move to the...

    Reasons to not vote Left or to vote Left

    Reasons not to vote Left This is always the big one in my experience: 'The Soviet Union collapsed in 1989 proving that communism doesn't work.' It wasn't communist. The aim of the dominant party in the USSR was to transform it into a communist Soviet state, but this aim was never achieved...

    SOCIALISM FOR-BIDEN

    The History of Socialism's Failures is paramount in spite of its deceptive appeal. I think that it finds its remarkable appeal to those in our country today due to an exponential increase of a sense of ENTITLEMENT. Even the Democrats elected a renowned President who is widely known for this...

    Compassion from the hurting

    I was reading Matthew 14 for a sermon coming up. Jesus having been rejected by the ruling authorities of his day, both religious and political goes to a solitary place to pray. Then he is confronted by a crowd of ordinary, poor common folk and he has compassion on them healing their sick and...

    Do socialists "approve" of the concept of "electoral college"?

    As a constitutional republic - America enjoys a lot more freedoms than in the most well-known socialist nations. So for example - from another thread we have this -- Revoking the vote of the American public in this constitutional Republic - is a serious matter that rises far above the...

    Should we choose our political future using mainly rational or empirical criteria?

    Empirical - I'd guess most of us start there because it seems pretty simple. Take all the countries that are or were socialist and ask how things worked out. Rationalism then arrives when we look at reasons why a particular system worked out in one and not in another and which things worked and...

    It's simple enough

    The nation is going in the wrong direction, both the EU route and the non EU are not good options in themselves. Those who can remember will recall the nation had no money after WW2 and a huge national debt on top of it. But once a year there was a tally made and each year the trade balance...
