Do you believe Jesus? Do you believe the Bible?

Do you believe what Jesus and the Bible say about where the world is headed?

Do you believe it's reasonable to expect that the world will reach it's final state by being led by righteous leaders?

So, why are we still arguing about which road is going to get us there?

Right or left, the ultimate destination is the same.

you should have to pass some kind of knowledge test before you vote

Originally, in most of the US, you had to be a white male property owner in order to vote. By the mid 1850's most states removed property ownership as a requirement to vote. The 15th amendment removed race from voter criteria, the 19th amendment removed gender from voter criteria. The Supreme Court had ruled in 1959 that literacy tests were constitutional but the Voting Rights Act of
1965 restricted the use to the point that few jurisdictions could still use them and the act was amended in 1970 to prohibit the use.

Unfortunately, over the years, tests were intentionally used to limit minorities ability to vote.

Well the Democratic party is in a "full-fledge crisis". It has been taken over by a bunch of stupid people who have no concept of reality.
What rock did these people crawl of from under?
They keep this up and Trump will win by a landslide in 2020.

Yeah, all of this crap they are espousing will definitely help Trump get reelected, and possibly win back the House as well. They're going to basically squander the next 2 years trying to smear Trump instead of engaging in meaningful debate in an effort to improve the lives of the average citizen. Hillary's whole campaign was based on bashing Trump instead of presenting a positive message. It didn't work then and it won't work in the 2020 general election. The current Democrat landscape is unreal.

interesting history

if I am not mistaken, in Canada, at one time, you also had to be a property owner

interpretation of law, rather than the actual law, creates intentions that were never meant at all

or so it seems to me
