@LibOrNormal Other, a hundred "other" things. Sometimes I hate the auto correct or predictive algorithm or whatever it is that changes the word that it showed.
@LibOrNormal Why do we still have tee shirts or cotton swabs or a hundred or things made out of cotton. I don't underst... oh wait I get it now it's because of the retards that kept those f-ing cotton fields. It's all their fault those bastards.
@MichaelKro82348@SamCKx He is a culturalist, are you captured? Do you live in a fantasy world my old friend, it was not like this when we were younger. This is all performative, the vast majority. I am afraid for Great Britain, because they have not been listening to the people. They didn't want this.
We don’t control every variable. Demographics shift, technology changes, wars start, energy markets spike. None of that erases the fact that independents and conservatives spent years treating first principles as optional background music instead of the operating system. Life, liberty, and property (or the pursuit of happiness) were supposed to be the hard limits. We let those limits get treated as slogans while the federal government absorbed more and more of what used to be state, local, church, and mutual-aid work. States now take a third of their revenue from Washington. That didn’t happen in a vacuum. We voted for the programs, accepted the grants, and told ourselves it was temporary or “just this once.” The result is predictable. When the Left offers explicit transfers and the Right offers mostly cultural signaling plus foreign-policy adventurism, a growing number of people on our own side start saying the only way to compete is to start writing bigger checks ourselves. That argument didn’t come out of nowhere. It came after decades of us acting as if limited government was a vibe rather than a constraint. A larger, more solvent middle class and stronger community institutions could have kept more of this at the local level, leaving the federal government to handle foreign affairs and relations among the states. We didn’t build that. We got comfortable with the existing machinery and assumed the other side would always be the only ones expanding it. Ending the fighting with Iran and getting gasoline back under four dollars would help a lot in the short run. It would not rewrite the underlying math. If we keep treating the original design as optional, we will keep arriving at the same fork: either reverse the concentration of power or keep adding more programs to stay electorally viable. Complacency got us to this fork. Pretending we had no part in it won’t get us off it.

This comes off a little strong and I didn't include my thoughts on the old guard that would push against some of the policies dying and not getting replaced. If we are going to "embrace" socialism the people should create programs and funding. Let the constitutional federal republic be just that.
Earlier this summer, CAIR launched a massive get-out-the-vote operation targeting 3 million Muslim voters. They are camping out at mosques in crucial swing states after Friday prayers to register voters and drive them to the polls.
Now, all of this is completely legal. I'm not claiming anything nefarious. But my question is this: Christian pastors, what are YOU doing about it?
There are 32 million Christians who go to church every single Sunday and don't vote. CAIR is hunting for 3 million, and we have 32 million sitting in our own pews staying home!
Pastors, stop hiding behind the Johnson Amendment. The law has never stopped you from putting a registration table in the lobby or preaching on biblical principles. If you preach that the culture is collapsing 52 Sundays a year, but you never once tell your congregation to get out of the pew and go vote, you're not a shepherd. You're a weatherman.
Put a table in the lobby this Sunday. One volunteer, one clipboard, one laptop. Load up the church van and drive people to the polls. Stop complaining and start showing up.
