My point is I don't necessarily think that what you are saying is true. It's a very nice thought, and it would be amazing, but I think it's a bit of a pipe dream.

I think they're just the louder ones in the room. We've seen a "silent majority" before, and I'm willing to bet you're seeing it again.

You're thinking way too short term. 8 years is not the amount of time necessary to shift an entire paradigm.

Like I said, it's only if they learn. As I've been saying for awhile; so far they've been too stupid to learn from their mistakes.

True. And it is comforting to me to see someone like Bernie Sanders get so popular, even if he is running out of steam.

But I'm saying I don't think they need to learn and change. It would be nice, but I think there is still (clearly) huge support for bigotry, fearmongering, the tactics they've been using.

Except they're losing. Trump doesn't have the numbers for the general election. Trump and his supporters make a lot noise, but at the end of the day they're losing. And if you look at his demographic; they're dwindling.

How long is it gonna take to get Obama's face in a bill now?

I agree. It has been all been turned upside down.

From Libertarian - Christian - Facebook:


Modern liberalism shares no resemblance to its classical form. It is now a disciple of the state and an advocate for collectivism. I am not speaking of every individual who may accept the label of liberal but rather those who advocate its ideology. It stands in conflict with every major tenet of this country’s founding.

At its core, liberalism despises individual freedoms. These freedoms demand the responsible moral behavior of the individual. The only freedoms liberalism advocates are sexual freedoms because what they truly seek is freedom from moral consequences.

Capitalism provides the opportunity for individual ownership and independence and therefore is an enemy of liberalism. Masculinity and ownership of guns are a symbol of individual power and therefore is an enemy of liberalism. The Constitution and Bill or Rights are protectors of individual liberties and therefore are enemies of liberalism. Religion promotes moral right and wrong and therefore is an enemy of liberalism. Liberalism seeks to weaken the family structure because it is charged with producing moral individuals capable of governing themselves.

The goal is a collectivist society. The requirement for this is totalitarianism. None of the things they advocate can be accomplished through persuasion. They must be forced upon society through the power of the state. And the only way to get there is to destroy families, destroy morality, destroy religion, destroy capitalism and destroy people’s faith in freedom and their ability to protect and govern themselves. It is at the heart of every institution they control and every policy they advocate.

Proponents of liberalism are more persistent and committed than conservatives. Their politics is their religion and the state is their god. And they are willing to destroy you personally and this country to get what they want even if means ruling over the ruins.

It's a shame you couldn't have responded in your own words. It's a little bit ironic, don't you think?


And it's a bigger shame that it's such a self righteous piece of bullshit, that is neither libertarian or Christian. I could explain, but we all know you don't engage.

Thanks for the chuckle.

So you guys still think the battle for LBGQT rights is about butt sex?

No wonder you nominated Trump.

Religion and capitalism are not related.

I took a look at this page, and once again you weren't exactly being honest with your sources were you?The page is "CONSERVATIVE Libertarian Christian" and it's a partisan hack page isn't? Out of the last dozen posts not one was about Christianity or Christ's teachings they were about delusional attacks on "progressives" and "liberals". If all you can talk about is what you are against and attack a scarecrow version of your boogie man you're not capable of sitting at the adult table of political discussion.

Masculinity, guns, and capitalism - this person worships these above anything else. Don't waste your time with such hacks.

Freedom of religion also protects the right to not believe in imaginary sky people. So there's that.
