@thisisdanabc Yes! And we memorialize that death every first day of the week when we take communion. Also, we take part in HIS burial by being baptized for remission of our sins!! ❤️
@jjllcc7070 That’s why ever primary needs to remove the ones that don’t work for us. Voted 2 out, 1 death, 2 retiring. It took about 100 years to get here, this won’t be fixed overnight.
As someone who was already an adult in 1984, I remember the build up to that Orwellian trigger-date.
Reagan was President, and he was threatening world-wide thermonuclear conflict with the Russians by not being nice to the Communists. Big Brother was already looking over our shoulders with as much—if not more—Leftist hysteria than the Patriot Act generated a couple of decades later.
Everything George Orwell predicted had come true, and the U.S. was the living embodiment of his nightmarish vision.
Except for one thing. The true Orwellian society wasn't the U.S.; it was the U.S.S.R.
Anyone with half a brain and a passing knowledge of the works of Alexander Solzenitzen, or Merle Fainsod's "Smolensk Under Soviet Rule", knew that the Soviet Union had become the embodiment of all things Orwellian, not The United States.
But never one to let the facts get in the way of a good smear, the Left just plunged ahead with ignoring the obvious, and directed their full morally-indignant wrath towards the world's greatest democracy.
And so it is with the Left's analysis of the American economic system today. Sure, isolated companies can and will lie to, steal from and/or cheat their customers, just the way individuals do the same with their family, friends and neighbors.
And yes, in the earlier part of our nation's history, there were some pretty creepy capitalists who took full advantage of their monopolies and trusts. But when an essentially democratic system is combined with the free market forces of capitalism, two things tend to happen.
The government begins to target the bad guys and severely circumscribe their actions or put them out of business altogether. And those companies that offer a good product at a fair price tend to prosper.
It's called competition in a free market system. Make a better product at a competitive price, and you'll start to drive a Toyota like I do instead of a Ford —and stay loyal to that company in the years to come.
It's only when the Left introduces its extraneous, politically-motivated issues into the discussion that the conversation becomes confused.
Unionize Wal-Mart workers, and the same store, with the same management structure and policies instantly changes from an evil pariah to the model of good corporate citizenship.
So every time you listen to Bernie, Mamdani, AOC or the DSA talk about how wonderful things are going to be when you put them in charge, just ask yourself a simple question.
How stupid are you if you think they actually know what they’re doing?
Does anyone else remember when Joe Biden fired thousands of unvaccinated military personnel while simultaneously flying Millions of unvaccinated illegal aliens across our country?
