How To Live Under An Unqualified President by John Piper

[Agnostic_Gabe]

My impression is that both the right and left now specialize in name calling and using charged words at the center of their political rhetoric, and that we have lost a decent middle that is willing to call out both sides on the coarsening of our rhetorical and political quests for power.

This.

[Paidion]

This.

I noticed that you have replied with this word before now, Gabe. I don’t understand what it is meant to signify.

This is from the BBC News today. I’ll will supply BBC stories in this thread - without commentary.

Do Trump rally taunts mark new strategy?

Trump - I disagree with 'send her back' chant

[steve7150]

for we with whom you differ politically clearly are leftist “imbeciles” etc, but that what I said is not factual, but illicit because it’s “completely different” and a “charged word.”

Once again Bob you hear what you want to hear and see what you want to see. What I clearly and in a unambiguous manner said is that AOC and her 3 disciples are imbeciles and according to their own accusations , anyone who disagrees with women of color are racists including naming Nancy Pelosi.

[steve7150]

I think Trump hopes to fan the flames of division in the Democratic Party. But I don’t think his battle has to do with race or religion; his battle is about his conservatism vs. their liberalism.

Yes I agree or to put it in a similar vein it could be capitalism vs socialism/communism.

[Bob_Wilson]

Again what I clearly and in a unambiguous manner said is that AOC & her 3 disciples are imbeciles.

Yes, I agree that your repeated label for others was quite clear.
I don’t see anyone defining politically disagreeing with a non-white as racism.

I would rather discuss theology than politics on this forum. The political environment is so radically polarized today that it s impossible not to offend no matter what position one takes. I am a conservative evangelical Christian who happens to be a preterist evangelical universalist. I am also theonomic and postmillennial and believe in the idea behind Christian Reconstruction as well. Others who do not share these view will be unable to arrive at the conclusions I do because they are starting with different presuppositions…

You are right but it has been a topic and everyone can choose to avoid this type of thread if they wish.

Well as I mentioned before one of the AOC group warned Nancy Pelosi to not criticize “women of color” which to me is using skin color as a weapon or to put it another way is blatant racism.

[wmb2003]

Thanks. I have strong opinions on the subject. So do many others.

One of the AOC group warned Nancy Pelosi to not criticize “women of color”… blatant racism.

I missed your citation asserting those words. Can you provide a link?

[Holy-Fool-P-Zombie]

This BBC story today, raises a question for me. Can we do anything, about social media exploitation?

The teenager whose murder was exploited for clicks

It was in an interview with the gang of four by Oprah’s girlfriend Gail…

[Jepne]

My take is that the Democrat Party is seriously socialist. By putting the gang of four in the forefront, they have become the face of the Democrat Party so the battle lines for 2020 are being extremely clearly drawn. If you enjoy the President and would like a good laugh in reference to all the name-calling - here is one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmwrUvkjkyw

What is the quote?

[Jepne]

Hah! It was a video clip within another video - one of the Daily Wire journalists-commentators probably - Knowles, Klavan, Shapiro, Walsh.

OK I just duck duckgo-ed it and found full interview on MSN, it said, but it was not there. That’s as close as I can get for now. The day is closing in on me.

Can you quote who and what she said?

[Holy-Fool-P-Zombie]

I will be neutral here - going forward. But will present relevant BBC news articles - without comment - like this one!

Twelve years to save Earth? Make that 18 months...

And I have every intention, of voting for Trump for reelection. Just think of all the folks, in the world’s news media…who might lose their jobs…because they have no news, to report on!
