Conversations with God

Why don't you PRESENT the arguments? Globalism is a REAL thing. There's no way to prevent it. It's a done deal. Nationalism can be, and should be, avoided. Are you twelve years old? Hitler used the term. What's so special about the US middle class that it deserves a pass from reality?To repeat, globalism IS. Whatever the consequences to the US middle class, globalism IS.

Yes. We are.Even IF we manage to alleviate the situation somewhat, we are going to suffer. Don't be stupid. YOU have no power to make the rest of the world do anything. You can only do what YOU can do.If the wonderful US middle class foots the WHOLE bill and single-handedly stops global warming, it will be for YOUR benefit. So what if the rest of the world rides on your coat-tails and shares the benefits?And if NOBODY but the wonderful US middle class lifts a finger and human civilization is destroyed, it will be YOU who suffers. So what if you have the rest of the world to blame? What do you gain by assigning blame?

As I have said before, ideologies are for lazy thinkers. That's why conservatism is an ideology. No need to think. Just look it up in Mein Trumpf.Liberalism, on the other hand, is an ideal.

I have mentioned before, I have a book called The Illustrated History of the Third Reich. It has a photograph from the 1920s of a group of protestors, one of whom is holding up a sign, Es kommt der Tag der Abrechnung. Translation: "There will come a day of reckoning".It did.Be careful what you wish for.

Upon rereading recent posts from many of you, I see where we all disagree on what I mean by authoritarianism. To elaborate: 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.

Heil Orange? lol 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?? Sometimes, Sasquatch, you play the role of BigFeet.

Even when you post the definition you are wrong. What you claim and what the definition is are completely different.

I just noticed this reply...AFTER making the previous post. As expected, you said just what I thought you would say. I will NEVER get you to listen to my complaining and whining and, ironically, I expect that Jesus won['t listen either. Both you and I can predict what will happen. The populists, who love Trump, will protest the unfairness of such an arraignment and will elect a new president Fuhrer and ruin the party for everyone.You claim I am one of them, but I don't want that!Even if the US goess 100% green, the other nations that refuse to get on board will still ruin the climate for all of us.

Im using dictionary sources. Do you know of a more accurate definition? I'd like to see it.

The definition is correct. Your use of it does not match the definition. You are manipulating the definition to fit your argument. The definition does not mean what you want it to mean.

Why wipe your ass? You are just going to shit again. Might as well just fuck up the world quick as we can. Nothing we can do.Actually the first country to perfect and implement green energy will be the superpower for at least two generations. China understands this. They also understand that their propaganda will keep the US from doing this.

Perhaps the "authority" I am attacking is Jesus Himself. never thought of it that way before...

Because the rest of us are using the actual definition. You are using one you made up as an excuse to hate democracy. The reason you see Democrats as authoritarian is because you're blinded by hatred. Not just the "elite", I hope it's all of them becoming less prejudiced toward Americans and more for what is good. It's the republicans who ignore constitutuional responsibilities, like not overthrowing the duly-elected government, not killing the Speaker of the House, that sort of thing. And you accuse ME of trying to avoid responsibility. You DO live on the globe, you know. You WILL have to face the consequences of everybody's global responsibilities, you know.You should stop listening to right-wing lies. Not really. That sounds like you're advocating the US being a rogue nation. A good man would teach his family to feed the guys at the park.

Yup. What else could he possibly mean? How could you deny yourself without denying yourself?

authoritarianism, principle of blind submission to authority, as opposed to individual freedom of thought and action. In government, authoritarianism denotes any political system that concentrates power in the hands of a leader or a small elite that is not constitutionally responsible to the body of the people. Authoritarian leaders often exercise power arbitrarily and without regard to existing bodies of law, and they usually cannot be replaced by citizens choosing freely among various competitors in elections. The freedom to create opposition political parties or other alternative political groupings with which to compete for power with the ruling group is either limited or nonexistent in authoritarian regimes.
