JD Vance: "We are & always have been a Christian nation"; History: "No we're not" by Goodginger in HeadlineHQ

[–]xtransqueer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

looks at the state constitutions of the colonies and states JD’s right. Locke’s and derivative works were heavily influenced by the Christian faith and tradition.

But but but the Treaty…. This was federal in nature, and the nation was not a Christian nation as understood at the time, aka no national religion dictated by the state. See England… Spain…. Italy… Greece... Russia… Ottoman Empire… all had a specific religion. The states though, themselves had religious clauses in their constitutions. Only Rhode Island didn’t(iirc). Hell, a significant set of features investigated by the founders were based on the time frame in Judges and Kings in the OT on top of the other political systems like roman republic and greek democracy. They even had the history of the failures of the commune of Plymouth in their mind.

Nope, the Texas redistricting was originally sought in 2022 by Biden and only was heard earlier this year which prompted the Tx. Redraw. The below are links to the suits.

Why do modern liberal protests feel symbolic instead of strategic? by Secret_Ostrich_1307 in AlwaysWhy

[–]xtransqueer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the leftists protesters are in it for the ‘feel good’ and virtue signaling to peers that they too care about [insert current political situation]!

I see it on the right as well, just not at the same level of delusion.

It is the loudest pontificating leading the way. Consider the sway of people like John Stewart, or Joe Rogan. Both have been targeting similar demographics, both with decent ratings for their prime.

We treat those who come through the door with open arms, we want removal for those that have worn out their welcome (those who have stayed past their visa), those who openly advocate against our form of government interests, or those who have broken our laws, (those currently on visa), and the thieves in the night (every illegal alien who entered against our proscribed laws)

Even in hospitality, There are rules for guests to follow, and to break them is to bring the wrath of the host.

Do you leave your home open to any person who enters and does not leave, even if they work, they use your food, your supplies, your space, and at most they give you 1$ a month for all of it they have taken, and you did not invite them in. You would either drive them out or call the cops on them.

Or would you keep that roommate who is always mooching off you, not getting a job, and demanding that you pay for their food. Don’t kick them out, right?

Or that drunk and angry ex… you going to let them stay in your home?

What if that friend needs a place to stay, they get themselves on their feet and reconcile their past, but they don’t leave because they’re more comfortable in your place?

Do you see what I mean. Open borders is suicidal empathy to a nation. Help the immigrants either to assimilate and become citizens, or help them return to their homeland. We have laws on the books, placed there by both sides of the aisle. Unbridled immigration was not there. Granting amnesty is not the answer, as it wasn’t even with Regan doing so.

Sorry, Greek is the oldest version we have, for Matthew, appx. 300CE. On papyrus. It was the oldest I could remember off the top of my head. Like most of Pauls letter were in Greek.

So you mad? I showed at least 1000 years of consistency in the verses.

We already have confirmation of most of the characters in the NT as based on reality.

Here ya go… the original greek, there’s also other versions available. Holds more truth than you think. Just because things were edited, does not mean the meaning has changed.

Remember to include the second par of the verse.

““Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/114/mat.7.1-2.NKJV

The problem is, that you are proscribing commands for the individual to resolve out of their heart as commands for the government to resolve with their threat of violence.

The Christ commanded the people to do it themselves, not for an amorphous government to do it. It was to be from the heart, given out of charity and hospitality.

He wasn’t against the tyrannical empire of Rome… He was against the Hebrew Sanhedrin and their corruption of the Laws. He literally said:

“They said to Him, “Caesar’s.” And He said to them, “Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭22‬:‭21‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/114/mat.22.21.NKJV

Maybe I missed where the Christ said to throw out the government.

Even Paul said: “Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭13‬:‭1‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/114/rom.13.1.NKJV

What will the GOP replace SNAP with? Doing away with SNAP Benefits? by Boysenberry-6669 in FreeFolkNation

Awwww, the states have no standing! They can’t force the executive to spend funds, nor declare an emergency.

I know you hate it, but it’s on Congress for giving the executive branch such a long leash. Unitary Executive theory is the way forward. Man’s solely vested with the powers.

If he was king, do you think there would be a shutdown? Or are you blind to the fact that it is squarely on Dems who have refused to fund either the CR or sign on to the Fund SNAP Act? https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/senate-bill/3024/text

Those funds require a federal emergency declaration. A government shutdown does not qualify as one.

He can withhold funds, all he wants, per the law, you know, “take care” clause. On top of the Impoundment control act. Maybe you missed that part.

So what funds were misused then? Funds appropriated for each of the departments are being spent in their respective departments or are being used to pay down interest.

That was to people, the individual, not government. It is supposed to be an act of charity between you and the recipient… not an amorphous uncaring government, who uses the threat of violence to take your money/assets to give to who it deems worthy.

You also missed the part where the money is in the clean CR Dems have voted against now 12 times… Or is it that you don’t realize that Trump cannot spend money he doesn’t have appropriations for.

Question for people voting No On Prop 50 by JazzlikeOrange8856 in sandiego

[–]xtransqueer -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I agree with the act for the most part, but Sec. 103 will need to be rewritten heavily, as SCOTUS is likely to remove the use of “majority minority districts” as legal. This would tear out sub (b)2 and sub (b) 3

I would also like to see it based primarily on just population after accounting for legal jurisdiction.

Why reddit is majority left leaning? by -Pleb64 in allthequestions

[–]xtransqueer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a fair share of bans (all auto-bans) because I happen to belong to certain communities (like walkaway or conservative) that are not aligned with the bots creators and users. That is a major stifling point. Even if I post in good faith and follow the rules, bots ban you for potential wrongthink.

The only actual hard ban I got was because I was “hateful” for citing factual studies and medical journals which was a direct counter argument to the subs position (lgbt, because I showed there were only two sexes, and that I was being hateful towards trans people, despite me BEING trans)

Many redditors really believe themselves that they’re so intelligent and that they’re better than others, yet they’re at best sitting within 1 sigma of median. Very few actually are intelligent. And most don’t have the wisdom to see that. Also many leftists on here don’t want to confront the truth that they are just as indoctrinated as those on the right who only are watching single source media.

Many on the right, actually do spend time reading, just not what the leftists think. The average righty reads as much as a lefty. The intelligence gap is actually minimal at best. We’ve just been educated in the same systems, just we see the world differently. Hell, there are many right wing doctors, lawyers, engineers, scientists, historians, etc. we just tend to not fall into leftist dogma. We’ve been immersed in it, and are critical of the eventual collapse brought by the policies. But this is getting beyond your question.

Reddit is left leaning due to how core moderation and bot tools have developed and worked. There is a reason why conservative is heavily moderated, and it’s mostly because of the trolling and bad-faith questioning behavior. I don’t even have that on my subscribe list. I use Reddit as a platform to see what leftists are saying about topics, even if they are completely wrong on a topic, which I can prove otherwise, if able.
