Anyone who's been forced to do group projects in school should have learned from that experience why Communism doesn't work.

Sorry I've been AWOL. After a healthy (and miserable!) pregnancy, I gave birth to my son last month. God is good.

Proverbs 18:5 AMP

"To show respect to the wicked person is not good, Nor to push aside and deprive the righteous of justice."

"He's on my side politically so I'll pretend he's not a scumbag."

No.

Proverbs 18:17 NIV

"In a lawsuit the first to speak seems right, until someone comes forward and cross-examines."

Make sure you listen to all sides before making up your mind. It's easy to be fooled if you live in an echo chamber.

Proverbs 18:13 NIV

"To answer before listening— that is folly and shame."

We need to make sure we hear and debunk the other side's actual beliefs/arguments. Strawmanning for attention is foolish and unproductive.

Proverbs 18:10 NIV

"The name of the Lord is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe."

If you find your safety in trusting God, you won't look to the government for it.

Proverbs 18:9 NIV

"One who is slack in his work is brother to one who destroys."

"Anti-work" is unbiblical. Quiet quitting is unbiblical. Work is good. God gave humans work even before the fall. Because of the fall, it's laborious and annoying. But it's still good too.

I wouldn't have called Tim Walz retarded.

But it's disgusting he allowed billions of tax dollars paid by hardworking Minnesotans to be stolen.

Maybe he's not stupid. Maybe he's corrupt and incompetent. That's worse than being retarded. And way worse than calling him retarded.

Proverbs 17:28 NIV

"Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent, and discerning if they hold their tongues."

That's one reason why absolute free speech is important.

Proverbs 17:15 NIV

"Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent— the Lord detests them both."

Thinking of our criminal justice system. Knowing the Lord judges our decisions would change our decision making on justice.

Proverbs 17:5 NIV

"Whoever mocks the poor shows contempt for their Maker; whoever gloats over disaster will not go unpunished."

Public policy must uplift the poor. That doesn't have to be welfare. It should be low taxes, low regulations, a thriving economy, and strong families

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Proverbs 15:15 NLT

For the despondent, every day brings trouble; for the happy heart, life is a continual feast.

On some level, we're all responsible for our own mindset and happiness.

[A Compassionate Conservative @OneComCon]

Proverbs 15:12 NLT

"Mockers hate to be corrected, so they stay away from the wise."

Have you seen any of this on the internet lately? This is why we need free speech - so we know who the fools and mockers are.

"Socialism is tyranny because it takes away your choice of what to do with your money, which is your time. Your time now belongs to the government, so you are a slave."

You can only embrace socialism/Communism after you reject the Bible's description humanity's fallenness - if you knew how evil unredeemed hearts really are, you would never believe their happy talk about free things and you'd never give them power over your life.

Proverbs 14:34 NASB2020

"Righteousness exalts a nation, But sin is a disgrace to any people."

If we're talking about whether sin should be legal, we've already lost. We should be creating a godly culture that rejects sin whether it's legal or not.

[A Compassionate Conservative @OneComCon]

Proverbs 14:30 NASB2020

"A tranquil heart is life to the body, But jealousy is rottenness to the bones."

You can't make a jealous person happy. If it seems like nothing will ever be enough for the socialists (or the groypers), it won't.

[A Compassionate Conservative @OneComCon]

Proverbs 14:31 NASB2020

"One who oppresses the poor taunts his Maker, But one who is gracious to the needy honors Him."

God cares deeply about and makes special provision for the poor. He is not ignoring their oppression.
