Do you find it sad that you have had to create hundreds of new aliases just to come to a politics board to troll liberal posters?

What happened in your life that you don’t have any friends or family to keep you occupied?

Did you get kicked out of the GOP think tank? Is that why you spend all your time over here instead of with the other cultists? I mean, your leader is a pedophile and rapist, so what did you have to do to actually get kicked out?

You and I probably end up at the same conclusion...that the Bible has little to no place in primary or secondary public education...but we take different routes. I disagree that there is not significant importance to be found in the Bible, but I also believe that of other religious texts such as the Qur'an. I think this is true because so much of civilization as we know it today has been shaped by these books in one way or another. However, I think that a reasonable discussion of these topics with comparisons and discourse is not possible in any elementary/primary settings and exceptionally unlikely in most secondary/high school settings. Therefore, I think such topics should be left to higher education at least for now. Honestly, too many people would be too dug in to having the texts taught as dogma rather than as historical documents for me to believe they have a place in public education right now.

Even fiction serves to shape civilization and we teach historical fiction for that very reason. The issue, to me, with religious texts is not that they are factual nor that they are fiction. The issue with them in most classrooms is the visceral and unavoidable disagreement as to which category they fall.

Fiction... like Orwell's 1984... which is starting to not look like fiction at all... turns out the joke is on us?
 


FTR, Truman gutted the entire structure and restored it. Also, it had to be rebuilt between 1814-1817 after the Brits burned it down.

This is why I’m confident the US ends up in a violent schism, with this election rigging scheme as the clear historical jump off. There is no bottom with the GQP, therefore, their “political arson” toolbox includes mass murder, martial law, and hundreds of thousands in camps. Fighting fire with fire is perfectly rational, but these Dem pols need to “war game” this out to the nth degree - if the Dems are successful in the same extreme disenfranchisement, the GQP will turn to their next tool, then the next, so on and so forth.

Trump is 100% willing to burn the country to the ground to avoid congressional Dems holding investigative and legislative power.

“… Gabbard, who oversees 18 U.S. intelligence agencies, was asked whether “there could be aliens” on the New York Post podcast “Pod Force One.” “I have my own views and opinions,” she said. “In this role, I have to be careful with what I share.”

… In the recorded interview, she is heard saying that she wasn’t “prepared to talk about” the details—but insisted her office would “be transparent with the public when the time comes.”

… While Gabbard declined to elaborate on any classified intel, she suggested that she still had unanswered questions about the mysterious dronesspotted buzzing over neighborhoods in New Jersey last year.…”

And I know that Hoover and JFK also donated their presidential salaries to various worthy causes, so he's hardly the only one. Just another example of how Trump simply makes up his own facts, and almost no one in the media ever calls him out on it.
 
We are going to need to completely ban coal to stop this shit. Put the fucking mines out of business. Then they can't easily be started up again.

It's not as if we're ever going to win votes in any of the coal states anyway.
