Abraham Lincoln 1837 - The Lyceum, Springfield "In such an atmosphere, there might arise a man of boundless ambition eagerly taking advantage of disturbances and disorder to claim the mantle of savior. 'Towering genius disdains a beaten path'. It seeks regions hitherto unexplored. It sees no distinc...

Re: Guess who is looking to be Trump's VP
I guess Mr Cohen lies then. Romney did not "attack" Biden. He said that if he'd been in Biden's place, he'd have pardoned Trump in order to look like the big guy and make Trump look like the little guy. He also opined that Biden made an "enormous error" in not pressuring NY (as Johnson would have do...

[Psst BSG . . . I know literacy is not a differentiator between intelligence and non-intelligence]. Just in case you wanted to beat on me

Re: SETI
Sentience is the ability to experience sensations. Ducking and covering proved one thing at least. I was still banging on about intelligence.

Soon or late, some mania seizes upon its possessors; they fall from the dizzy height, through the giddiness of their own heads . . . Intoxicated with their own greatness, the federal party fell. ...

Re: God & Country
I might think it "not so bad" if Christmas was a Federal holiday; that some Christian symbols were welcomed generally on state property and so on. What's that got to do with anything?
What's "bad" is the desire to pervert the Constitution full stop, period,end of argument.

Re: God & Country
Well yes, exactly BigRR. And that's what the Christian nationalist/right want. Government funded Christian display - not religious freedom or even religious display. Strictly their definition of Christ which most certainly is not biblical (even though you and I probably don't agree about what is 'bi...

Re: God & Country
Christian nationalism supports the presence of Christian symbols in the public square, and state patronage for the practice and display of religion, such as Christmas as a national holiday, school prayer, the exhibition of nativity scenes during Christmastide, and the Christian Cross on Good Friday...

Re: Biden is a coward
They knew that if the British ever gained control of America again they would hang. They needed a strong military commander with the power to be able to keep the country safe from invasion regardless of what else was happening at the time. "They would hang"?????? Good gracious!

Re: God & Country
They certainly scare me. I find their biblical understanding to be limited, false, racist, and in a word reprehensible. Even the notion that God cares more for America than . . . . anywhere else on earth . . . is repugnant.

Keep jumping thru the imaginary hoop.But I find I am jumping through the hoop of 'anti-semitism' which seems to encompass any non-support of the State of Israel's foreign policy.
