The Bible is replete with occasions where God Himself INTERVENED in various times and places to end dire wickedness perpetrated upon children by the ruling classes.
Hey @cv5

Well, here goes. Any chance you'd be willing to list 3 of those replete cases where God himself intervened in various times and places to end dire wickedness perpetrated upon children by the ruling classes?

Heck, I think I'm going to be happy with just two, but if you can do three, hey, more power to you, friend.

God bless and vote wisely. The future of our nation may depend on it.

Following that pattern, we can expect more of the same.
What we are seeing is spiritual wickedness in high places orchestrated by the rulers of the darkness of this world (Eph 6). But God is sovereign in all things and He will decide as to how far they will succeed.

Well, that's all I ever hear Dems say, "trickle down" and I know they mean capitalism. So I figured thats what he meant. But thanks for the information.

You know they mean capitalism. Got that little crystal ball of yours out on your Queja board do you? You know that the mention of 'trickle down' really means the capitalist economic model? Ok.

God bless, little one. Vote wisely,

Look, so far, an attempt(s) has been made to 'take Trump off the ballot,' although unsuccessful, unlike the attempt to impose Harris onto the ballot.
All of these intrigues are proof positive at how dire the straits and how far the US has fallen.
I mean they almost got Trump assassinated for pity's sake.

This is NOT going to end well.

I'm not talking about her distant past, although you didn't mention all the people she put in prison for drugs while making light of her own drug use. You also didn't mention the fund she helped raise for criminals to be bailed out of jail.

Do you know her position on abortion?
Do you know her previously held position on taxes?
Do you know her position on illegal immigration?
Do you know her position on Israel?
Do you know her position on the new green deal?
Do you know her position on campus protests funded by Iran?
Do you know her position on school choice?
Do you think the way to help addicts is to supply needles for them?
Do you believe it's OK for children to be mutilated for trans surgery?

I have more questions, but I'm not sure you will answer these.

I will add a question to that. Right now at the DNC they are offering free abortions and vasectomies, with a free hot dog as a reward from TheWienerCircle a local hot-dog stand. Now the Dems say they value life. Please explain again how Christians should vote for Harris??

You have to wonder how one thinks when you mention 'trickle down economics' and suddenly the other person says that defines capitalism.
And nothing but radio silence from you regarding CONSTITUTIONAL MONEY huh?
Awwww what a shame that your krappy clownbux aren't worth jack squat anymore.

BTW....from what I am seeing, stock market TA is looking dire indeed.
The collapse will be epic.

Well, that's all I ever hear Dems say, "trickle down" and I know they mean capitalism.
Trickle down economics is another con by politicians. It is the opposite of capitalism. Here is how Investopedia defines it: Trickle-down economics and its policies employ the theory that tax breaks and benefits for corporations and the wealthy will trickle down and eventually benefit everyone.

This is complete nonsense. It assumes that the wealthy will spend the extra income to benefit the economy. But if they are smart, they will look for good investments and not spend the money. Corporations must distribute their profits to shareholders, and does anyone know how those shareholders would handle profits and/or dividends? Chances are that they too will invest the additional income, and not spend it.

Why don't governments do the right thing and collect as little tax as possible, and then spend the tax dollars wisely? There is absolutely no need for tax breaks, deductions, exemptions, or tax credits if the income tax is minimal. Then people can do whatever they wish with the money not grabbed by the government. And all illegal activities will come to an end.

@amuse on X: "Democrats, in a stunning display of irony, are building an impenetrable wall around their convention in Chicago and demanding ID from everyone entering the venue. This comes from the same party that decries walls as racist and insists that requiring ID is discriminatory. https://t.co/znCn2ZegVl" / X

In a move that would be laughable if it weren’t so hypocritical, the Democratic Party is set to erect an impenetrable wall around their convention venue in Chicago and require photo ID from everyone who wants to attend.

Yes, you read that correctly. The very party that has spent years branding walls as racist and denouncing voter ID laws as discriminatory is now embracing both when it serves their interests.

For years, Democrats have vilified anyone who dares suggest that America needs secure borders. They’ve gone so far as to label the construction of a border wall as an act of racism. Yet, when it comes to protecting their own, suddenly walls are a necessity. The message is clear: walls for us, but not for thee.

And let’s talk about the ID requirement. We’ve heard it all before from the left—demanding ID is discriminatory, it disenfranchises voters, it’s racist. Yet, when it comes to their convention, ID suddenly becomes essential.

If Democrats truly believe that requiring ID is oppressive, why are they so quick to enforce it when their own security is on the line? The irony is staggering.

This is what pops up when you search trickle down economics. Not a one of them are Dems. Yet the Dem elite are filthy rich and their policies do anything but help the poor. They grow the gov't, socialism. I looked it up to see where it came from and found it was used first against Reagan. It he wasn't a capitalist, no one is. So again, it's a pejorative that's been used against Republicans. And they are died in the wool capitalists. So, your opinion aside, my point remains, little man.

I just can't believe that you people really believe this about those who are speaking against the GOP contender. I just find it absolutely amazing that you honestly believe that someone is paying detractors of the GOP's policies and people $150. This is one of those claims that I was speaking of. This would be hilarious if it weren't so sad that some actually believe that it is true.
Nowhere did I say I believed that.


That the democrats, or those against the GOP initiative, are pedophiles... Really!?!?!?!
Ted
Nowhere did I say that.

There it is. "Human beings" are "offenders".
Since when is the central government in the business of telling people what job they will need to have and what work they will be doing? Oh...I know. This is the norm in centrally planned Communist nations.

Hey @Cameron143

Well, I'm not sure why you would think it fair that I answer your questions while you won't answer mine. I asked you to provide support that her economic plan that is what you brought up as being some sort of Communist Manifest in its sourcing. If you're not willing to answer my questions, why do you feel that I should answer yours?

Yes, I know her position on abortion and probably anyone with ears knows her position on abortion. She is for allowing anyone who wants an abortion to obtain one legally. Now, you're likely against that, but then you've got nobody to vote for. Because even your guy has now softened his supposed past stance on abortion.

I do not know her position on taxes at all. I believe as a kind of 'gotcha' that there were some stories floating around that she was for also making tip wages untaxed, but I haven't heard much about it since then. Other than that, no, I don't know her position on taxes. I know the other guys and I didn't like it then and I don't like it any more now.

I can't say as I do know her position on immigration, illegal or otherwise.

I believe that she does support Israel. As do I. Her husband is Jewish after all.

I believe she is behind some parts of the green new deal, but no, I don't know her position about the agenda as a whole.

I'm pretty sure, if there were such a thing, that she would be against it. I know that I am.

I don't have any school age children, but I have always been for school choice. I don't know her position on it.

I don't think she had anything to do with needles for addicts, but if so, I'd need some specifics on the program and her stated position on it. And I'd be happy to read anything that you have to offer.

I don't believe that a child should be mutilated in any surgery. But our world has moved wholly into the immoral sexual attitudes and now the gender issues of not knowing whether a particular individual feels like they are something other than what they were born to be, as regards gender. But that isn't a political issue my friend. It's a sin issue. The world is wallowing more and more each passing generation into wickedness and sin and the pain and anger and fear and angst that such lifestyles bring to the table.

Now, do you get it that God already tried that? That making an entire nation of people live under His law, thing. You are aware that God has already made an attempt at that, right? You do know the old covenant history of God's people... right? He raised up a nation of people and gave unto them His righteous law to live by... and they failed miserably. Do you really think that you're going to go out into the world and stop all of this wickedness from coming upon the earth that your God has already told you is coming?

No! You're not. However, if you want to do the work for which God has prepared for you to do since the foundations of the world were established, you'll take all of this pent up anger and hostility and mix it with a really, really good helping of mercy and compassion and go out there and tell all these people that are doing all of these wicked things about Jesus. Friend, if you will just bring them to Jesus, he and the Holy Spirit will take care of that person's sin. It doesn't matter what the law of the land is. God's people don't have to live by it in any way that would break the commands of God. And the wicked will do what the wicked will do, my friend.

Tell them about Jesus.

But as for the issues that you've brought to the table here, no, I still see VP Harris as the better choice to run the nation for the next four years over any of the contenders. However, I understand the role and responsibility of being the President of the United States. That's one of the major reasons that I would vote for VP Harris. She understands and appreciates the limits of what the job entails. The other guy seems to want to hold the position like Vladimir Putin and Kim Un and Chi of China.

I'm going with the one that seems to understand how our government works and is able, therefore, to work within those confines and get things done.

God bless and vote wisely,
Ted
I never said anything about her being anything. And you obviously don't know her positions, yet you advocate for her. You also don't understand international politics, or understand the times we live in.

It doesn't matter personally what you believe. When you elect someone with a particular position and know they will implement it, you fostered the position...IT'S YOURS WHETHER YOU OWN UP TO IT OR NOT. You share the blame.

Kamala Harris doesn't understand politics or government. She couldn't tell you what is included in the bill of rights or why they are important. She bails criminals out of jail, and supports terrorists...both on campuses and by allowing Iran to sell oil which bankrolls terror groups.

She swore an oath to uphold the Constitution and the laws of this nation, yet supports people breaking the law to come here and not administering laws that would keep money from terrorists. Far from keeping her oath, she has failed miserably with the people's trust.

So go ahead and vote for who you like. But your caution for others to vote carefully should first be followed by you. You either don't know who you are voting for or you do and you're just as bad.

It's time for Putin to target Chicago, and bring this nonsense to an end. The mayor is a black Communist, and the previous mayor was a black incompetent. So Chicago has gone to the dogs. They are protecting themselves from the wrath of their own Leftists.

Yes. that is just hypocritical nonsense from a fan who will vote Communist. A vote for Commie Harris is indeed a vote for Communism.

Joseph Stalin was planning for that day when America would turn Communist. You have them in government, in universities and colleges, and even among the billionaires who hate America. The youth have been indoctrinated, and very few have seen through that.
And China must be just laughing at these stupid Gwailo, who have no clue about anything. China practically owns America.
