I am starting a new feature, it's called question of the day.
Here is today's question:
If Donald trump said that he would resign today, but Mike Pence would have to pardon him and the New York state attorney general's office would have to stop their investigations against him, would you agree to those terms?
Both long and short answers are fine.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 233 of 233"Because it's not a religion, being based on reason and evidence, not supernatural dogma inscribed in a book by someone who claims to be a prophet."
Reason and evidence recognizes the truth of evolution that there are measurable differences between racial groups and that differences in outcomes are not automatically evidence of discrimination.
Reason and evidence would dictate that people be treated as individuals and addressing differences in group outcomes through legal favoritism and divisive rhetoric is no way to reduce inter-group animus.
Progressivism is not based on reason and evidence, it is based on dogma and lies. If it were an honest system it would adapt itself to reality and correct any newly discovered error, and propagate the correction. But instead what it does is ruthlessly enforce the Narrative against any facts that counter its basic tenets. Just like a religion.

“Progressivism is not based on reason and evidence, it is based on dogma and lies.“
Progressivism, if that’s a thing because all of us believe different things, has a ton more evidence and reason than a religion that believes in invisible sky beings with zombie children. I’d hate to subject millions of people to doctrines based on 3,000 year old desert stories but that’s just me.🤷🏾♂️
“Progressive Theocracy = Oxymoron“
C’mon Gambler, we’re dealing with the anon troll that wants to codify their racism and view anti-racists as somehow ignorant of science. It’s a stretch but backwards thinking has been around for eons.
“Primitive peoples think the Gods punish man through the weather; so do Progressives.“
Um, not quite. Most generally listen to climate scientists who have devoted years to this research.
Doug, Larry Craig just had a “wide stance”. You do bring up a good point that these religious moralists usually have some kind of weird kink hidden in their closet. Maybe Qanon is right but just wrong about the political party.🤣
Well, on top of everything else that may be bad about Amy Coney Barrett, it seems she has an extremely irritating voice. Yet another thing that will make these confirmation hearings unbearable to watch.
"I’d hate to subject millions of people to doctrines based on 3,000 year old desert stories but that’s just me."
Fine. But you are apparently fine with subjecting millions to doctrines with no basis in reality churned out by the self-serving ideology of the ruling elite.
But that's just you.
“Progressive Theocracy = Oxymoron“
If you are unable to even consider the question of whether your belief system might rest on dogma rather than reason, maybe you are religious zealot.
"Fine. But you are apparently fine with subjecting millions to doctrines with no basis in reality churned out by the self-serving ideology of the ruling elite."
No, just the ideology of the educated and sane. Who are not one and the same as the "ruling elite."
“If you are unable to even consider the question of whether your belief system might rest on dogma rather than reason, maybe you are religious zealot.“
Sure, but if the only questions come from hyper-racist zealots what’s the point? I mean I know you really really really want to feel superior because of your skin color but most intelligent civilized societies have left this idea in the dustbin of history. If you want to be hellbent on going back in time that’s on you but the rest of us have moved on. No need in trying to both sides the religious issue but hey, you do you.
anymose @ 4:34 PM is lying about the cleanest environment of our lifetimes, thanks to drumpf and the thugs at EPA who have undermined and disposed of the regulations that cleaned up the environment before hell appointed drumpf czar.

And if you’re talking about zealotry the funny thing is the people challenging the science of climate change or pushing the pseudoscience of racial biological differences are some of the dumbest least educated people around. Yeah, if someone who barely passed high school science is challenging highly trained and respected scientists there will be pushback or there should be. Funny, you want to push the idea that people with more melanin in their skin are inferior and should be treated as such but want ideological equality with learned experts.🤣🤣 The irony!!!!😂😂
“anymose @ 4:34 PM is lying about the cleanest environment of our lifetimes, thanks to drumpf and the thugs at EPA who have undermined and disposed of the regulations that cleaned up the environment before hell appointed drumpf czar.“
At this point you have to be a special kind of stupid to believe anything that comes out of trump’s mouth.

“And if you’re talking about zealotry the funny thing is the people challenging the science of climate change or pushing the pseudoscience of racial biological differences are some of the dumbest least educated people around.”
True when it comes to the “race scientists” (lol), but not entirely when when it comes to the climate deniers. Some of their experts are perfectly competent geoscientists or other well-educated people — they’re just on the payroll of the fossil fuel industry. Like the Heartland Institute in Arlington Heights, Illinois, a conservative “think tank” (actually a lie tank) that is really a front for fossil fuel interests.
These people are corrupt and dishonest, not stupid.
Maybe because conditions in their home country are intolerable?
And just who creates those "intolerable" conditions?
It isn't Americans. But those crimmigrants will re-create those conditions wherever they go. Americans have both the right and the obligation to kick them out... or otherwise get rid of them. BAMN.
“Like the Heartland Institute in Arlington Heights, Illinois, a conservative “think tank” (actually a lie tank) that is really a front for fossil fuel interests.“
Bad example. Actually the head of the environmental section of the Heartland Institute has an English degree from Syracuse with zero college level atmospheric science training. We’ve emailed back and forth a few times. It’s like they’re not even tryig.

What I said had nothing to do with black people. Your inability to think of anything outside the terms of race is an indicator how deeply ensconced your worldview is in the narrative you have been fed.
"No, just the ideology of the educated and sane. Who are not one and the same as the "ruling elite."
The Progressive religion offers adherents the illusion of superiority through a self-declared ownership of 'science' when its dogma relies on the denial of scientific reality. Neat trick.
Not once do you ever ask yourself why your beliefs align exactly with those that are promulgated by the dominant institutions of society that weirdly all serve the interests of the elite. But you're part of the Resistance, right?
“Bad example. Actually the head of the environmental section of the Heartland Institute has an English degree from Syracuse with zero college level atmospheric science training.”
Okay, but not being a geoscientist doesn’t necessarily make him dumb, just not qualified to offer opinions on this subject.
And he also almost certainly doesn’t believe the crap he spouts against climate change. He knows climate change is real, but he’s been paid to tell superficially convincing lies to the contrary. You are not his target audience, either. He is aiming to deceive ignorant people, not anyone who has put forth any effort to educate themselves on the subject.
Half the work of the con artist is finding suitable marks. “A sucker is born every minute.”
Some of their experts are perfectly competent geoscientists or other well-educated people — they’re just on the payroll of the fossil fuel industry.
That's actually false, as all the major oil corporations are firmly in the climate change camp. There's a lot more money that will come to you if you are on the side of climate alarmism. Whose payroll is that?
“A sucker is born every minute.”
Yes, and you are a prime example.
AG Barr's witch hunt into unmasking of some people ends, like all the rest, with no charges and no public release. Another waste of time and tax money from investigators (wingnuts) who can't find their asses with either hand.
“That's actually false, as all the major oil corporations are firmly in the climate change camp.”
The hell they are. That’s window dressing.
They make all the right noises in their marketing materials and shareholder meetings, so as not to infuriate much of the non-science-denying public, but behind the scenes, they bankroll climate denier think tanks and unethical scientists, and give the vast majority of their campaign donations to wingnut politicians who undermine environmental regulations.
Much as Harvey Weinstein used to talk pretty big about women’s rights, but this did not make him a feminist. It was only ever a smokescreen to distract from all the raping he was doing in between making movies.
Maybe a "meritocracy" in which all power accrues to whatever frigid childless careerist computer-brained sociopath wants it most was a bad idea.

Forget the "we" stuff. There are many seniors who remember a time before pollution became a threat to living people, animals, and plants. I am one of them. The air, water, and everything else was much cleaner then.

About Jewish ideology: justice, righteousness, atonement; you know, extremist stuff.
"The state of Oregon was created as an all white state."
And should have stayed that way. Along with every other state that never allowed slavery.
the Republicans are once again committing election fraud.
The DemoRATS always accuse others of what they are doing. Russia supported Hitlery in 2016 because she could be controlled. Russia didn't know that Trump had no desire for armed conflict.
