I may have missed it in your list:

What Phat and the folks in Palestine need to understand is there is not a single example of ANY ruling designed to keep the average worker safe or to prevent the return of long term life effecting pollution.
Never has so much long term damage to the average US citizen been done by one man in so short a period and it will take decades to reverse the damage done. Decades of literally poisoning the youth of our nation solely to improve the profits of corporations and the rich.

That is a long list but I will read it and note the implications. Was that an attack by Trump because he was Trump or was it backed by Conservatives in the interest of smaller government? Doesnt Trump use the euphemism of "draining the swamp"? Ive never really understood what pro Trump folks saw the "swamp" as representing. I *do* understand the concept of smaller government bureaucracy, but certainly not if it hurts people.

It was simply rape of the average American and done with their willing cooperation because they, like you, choose to be ignorant.
It was an intentional act by Trump, the GOP and a large percentage of American voters to destroy all of the efforts to preserve the common good (look that phrase up Phat, it's a basic) done over the last seventy five years.

The fact that a totally meaningless slogan like "Draining the Swamp" or "Smaller Government" has ANY meaning to you is why everyone simply sees you as a deplorable pathetic example of citizenry at the very worst. It is an irrefutable example of willful ignorance, the utter inability to think or comprehend and acceptance of deception.
You are only the fodder for the Carny Barkers and Medicine Men.

I think I may have mentioned "SOURCE over content" in the past.
Phat hears what he wants to hear, creates the Jesus he wants, creates the God he wants and then stops.

No, you don't. You don't even understand what that means. You like the sounds of the words.What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness. If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Phat hears what he wants to hear, creates the Jesus he wants, creates the God he wants, and then stops. We all tend to hear what we want to hear. You and ringo both accuse me of creating the Jesus whom I want, but I call bullshit. Jesus, if Jesus exists, showed up long before you or I were anything more than a glimmer in our Dad's eye. GOD, God, or god is a bit more complex. One can wander all over the map in the Comparative Religions classroom with that one! And why would I ever stop? If you manage to tie me up in a given argument, I always have ten more somewhere on the forum to pick up with and continue to think about. Answer me this. How often have you made an argument supporting what you don't want to hear or believe? Sometimes I think you want me to tell Jesus to get lost only so I have to work harder for my arguments!

By exercising their right to keep what they have??? Now you may understand why I have no forgiveness for them. They are sadists, vicious greedy assholes who need to be gunned down before they kill any more of us. Lets do a bit of homework together. I will try and quote enough of this to arrive at a consensus.
What is the definition of “small government” according to the Republican Party? Among the best answers: Stack Exchange: Personally, I think that division in American Politics needs to end. Talking about throwing things away, we (the people) need to throw away both major parties and start from scratch. We can start with the GOP to be fair.
Do you have any ideas about what we should replace it with? Or could we simply have one party? Ringo says that Canada has five.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). When both religious and non-religious people reach the same conclusions then you know religion isn't the reason.--Percy Democrats should not be the only party. Respect the two-party system. -Phat, in December 2022 We see Monsters where Science shows us Windmills.~Phat, remixed

Quite often as you well know.
I do not want the fact that the US and the Christian religion have both been so successful at genocide but that is what the evidence shows regardless of what I want. I do not want every god and God to be a human creation but that is what the evidence shows regardless of what I want. I do not want a very large percentage of the US voting public to be willfully ignorant and bigoted and racist but that is what the evidence shows regardless of what I want. I do not want the Grand Old Party to be a fascist organization but that is what the evidence shows regardless of what I want. Shall I continue? Edited by jar, .
