What's your point?
The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of a doubt, what is laid before him.” - Leo Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God is Within You (1894).

AOC may be educated but her socialist leaning policies are hardly expertise. Cruz may be the son of immigrants but he has every right to tough opinions on immigration. What you and Damselfly fail to grasp is the necessity of a two party system to preserve nationalism and prevent social democratic globalism from defining the destiny and meaning of our Republic.

Ted Cruz dismantles a Biden nominee once again.
I wont reconfigure my hair like Trump anytime soon but I do like Ted Cruz in his approach to this whole gender identity pickle that the liberals seem to embrace (largely due to the additional votes it will bring in)The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of a doubt, what is laid before him.” - Leo Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God is Within You (1894).

Children of immigrants do have a right to stupid opinions. We don't need to look stupid by defending them. 1. A two-party system does not necessarily preserve nationalism. True.
2. Nationalism is not necessarily a good thing. Nor is globalism necessarily a good thing.
3. A two-party system does not necessarily prevent globalism. True. It was initially George HW Bush who proposed a "New World Order".
4. Globalism is not necessarily a bad thing. It is if it runs over the US middle class.5. Get more parties.

It seems to me that even if we *have to* get off fossil fuels (oil, gas, and coal) we cant make the transition as quickly as we would like. This will be yet another way for the middle class to get handed the bill for the transition and it will gut us in the process. Some compromise must be reached regarding the length of the transitional timeline. We are not simply going to suffer in order to be the heroes that save the planet. The entire world must share the bill.

the problem is that we will never get the billionaires to pay...and thus the bill trickles down to the midddle class...YOUR and MY class. Why cant everyone pay?

And it will be hard to get China to pay, though they are becoming the largest polluter

To pay by stopping coal burning and polluting as if they were the early United States x 2
What good does it do us to pay out the nose to go green when other major countries still burn coal and pollute?

Dr.(Not An Actual Doctor) Jones writes: Because its not the job of Americas working/middle class to pay this whole expense of going green. Many working people cant afford an electric car. Besides, our government has no right to be so Draconian Authoritarian on the insistence that we *all* switch. This issue will end up biting Biden in the Butt come election time.
why solve any problem if we cant solve all the problems.why solve any problem if we cant solve all the problems. The government is not in the mandatory morality business. Lest any of you tree hugging humanists disagree, you will see the groundswell of opposition to such authority. You dont speak for Jesus since you don't even think He exists.

Ted has his biases, that's for sure!

Passing laws is a necessary function of the government. Hence why we have such political division in this country. Neither side approves of the laws suggested by the other side.

Upon rereading recent posts from many of you, I see where we all disagree on what I mean by authoritarianism. To elaborate:
Websters writes: The reason that I see Democrats as authoritarian is because the elite within the party are becoming less for Americans (a far as favor towards) and seem to ignore constitutional responsibilities in favor of global responsibilities. Of, by and for the people refers to citizens of the US first rather than global citizens. Just as a man would feed his family before he fed the guys at the park. 2: of, relating to, or favoring a concentration of power in a leader or an elite not constitutionally responsible to the people an authoritarian regime The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of a doubt, what is laid before him.” - Leo Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God is Within You (1894).

" Mein Trumpf." Liberalism, on the other hand, is an ideal. It sure is. As I said before, feed your family before the guys at the park. And don't just give them (your family) crumbs while feeding the hobo's loaves of bread. Perhaps I do think more of myself than I do my neighbor. Perhaps Jesus would not approve, I dunno. Does He expect me to remain poor simply to pay off the bill and bring everybody (even globally) up into my neighborhood? Is that what He means when He suggests that I deny myself??
