This is false. They are moving in the same direction. Toward putting America First.
In November, the silent majority will shock the liberals into silence.
And if you riot real Americans will rise up and help crush you hand in hand with law enforcement.
You can feeling it all slipping away, can’t you leftists?
comment deleted
So, when your so-called "real Americans" rise up and help crush us will they be wearing Brownshirts or Gestapo uniforms?
Also, I find it hard to believe MAGAts are the silent majority. Polling indicates you and your friends weren't even the majority 4 years ago and you were NEVER silent. We have your annoying ass posts to prove that.
Watch out, Moddy's mail order body armor just arrived! He's ready for war standing behind a bunch of much bigger assholes.
Another delusional originalist. At least Scalia is still dead.
I generally try to be polite here. But, Moderatus, whoever you are, you’re a blithering idiot.
What makes you think that everyone who posts here on Pols is a leftist?
As for being a conservative, neither you nor Trump would be qualified to carry Reagan’s jock strap.
What do you mean? Nutlid has the best words.
I’ll just park this here for Moldy:
Don't you mean the Blithering Idiot?
My guess Banger is that it is a Russian bot that randomly cobbles words together using an algorithm that prioritizes grievances and victimization. Hard to assess these comments any other way.
The one from the Handmaid's Tale cult? Oh, goodie.
I guess Aunt Lydia wasn't available to fill the seat.
In a stunning fashion move, Justice Barrett will wear red robes and a cowl when serving on the Court.
Information about the charismatic Christian community called “People of Praise” of which she is a member will be jaw dropping.
It has about 1700 members and is a socialist style (shared lives) organization. Sort of a loose commune, as I read it.
A visit to their website, peopleofpraise.com, will allow one to get their side of the story.
Once again, we have Jill Stein and her moronic supporters for having arrived at this point.
Anyone else remember when Conservatives feared a Catholic take-over of their Protestant Republic in the 1960s? Now they rush to embrace Caesaropapism with open arms!
Meiner is right. Remember the old Protestants and Other Americans United for Separation of Church and State?
Are you referring to the group Americans United for Separation of Church and State (www.au.org)? They were formed in 1947, before I was born.
I’ve been a dues paying member some 20 years. I don’t recall any commentary about “caeseropapism” from this group during my time as a member.
I was 11 years old at the time of the 1960 election. I vaguely remember JFK stating that he would follow our laws, not the Vatican.
Speaking of the Vatican, I’ve read that there is yet another scandal involving Vatican finances and another high ranking Cardinal has resigned.
That group was originally called Protestants and Other Americans United for Separation of Church and State. It changed its name after the Catholic League and others criticized the inherent bigotry in its original name.
I was a Catholic back when POAU, as it was called for short, sneeringly relegated me to the ranks of “other Americans.”
I didn’t forget. Or forgive.
Interesting. The Wikipedia article on AU gives some additional reasoning for the name in that they opposed use of public money to support sectarian schools. I also note that the group Church Militant considers AU to be a “hate group.”
Interesting also in that I would consider Church Militant itself as a dogmatic hate group. And, as a former Catholic who is now a non-theist, I don’t want my tax dollars going to support religious schools.
I wouldn’t consider the current group a hate group. But remembering that ” public” schools originally taught Protestant dogma as fact, I consider them anti-Catholic in their origin.
And if you’ll forgive my teasing you, CHB, I remember how you fought against the tax increase for Jeffco schools. It seems you don’t want your tax dollars going to public schools either!
@VG: different situation. The JeffCo school district has, in my opinion, a history of mis-management of funds. I've opposed said increases in the recent past. I had high hopes for the insurgent conservatives who captured the school board from big spender liberals a few years ago. Unfortunately, they turned out to be just a bunch of moronic, far right wing, ideologues.
So now it boils down to this: to participate or boycott, that is the question…..
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/democrats-debate-whether-to-engage-or-withdraw-in-supreme-court-fight/ar-BB19rxZC?ocid=msedgntp
FWIW, I say participate fully. And ask all the challenging questions about Roe, Griswold, the ACA, and election litigation. Ask about whether she will recuse herself on election litigation. She will refuse to answer anything of substance, parroting that familiar refrain, "I can't comment because that issue might come up before the court."
This can be made unpleasant for her but it will be on policy issues and not any of the personal stuff that came out during the Kavanaugh hearings. (At least there's no reason to believe she has any skeletons in closet which anyone can bring out and rattle.)
But if the Dems decide to boycott the hearings, they will like cowards and assholes.
Agreed. Participate and go scorched earth on these so-called proceedings. Get all the information out there. Because it is likely to motivate more people to engage. They would look like idiots for boycotting and there is nothing to lose by doing this.
She needs to get Borked
+100
Bork got grilled on his overt partisanship, having been Nixon's choice as Solicitor General, then moving up to be Acting Attorney General and being willing to fire Watergate Special Prosecutor when the AG and Deputy AG resigned rather than doing so. That action, in addition to his writing and Circuit Court opinions, all contributed to an impression that he was an "advocate of disproportionate powers for the executive branch of Government, almost executive supremacy."
I like that Wikipedia includes two different definitions of "Borked:"
The personal stuff will come in the form of her belonging to a cult. Dems need to highlight her hasty rise through the judicial ranks and extreme views. She won’t answer any question in a meaningful way but her extremism needs to be rehashed for all to see what a charade this nomination is compared to Merrick Garland. Wish they can have the hearings and Senate confirmation before voting starts in Colorado. Showcase Gardner for hypocrite he is. What a putz.
Her honor, Judge Barrett, is a member of ” People of Praise”. As I mentioned elsewhere, from my reading I discern a similarity to extended families like some Mormon communities and the Community of Jonestown. (Jim Jones/ Peoples Temple.)
These are “Christians” who operate on the “covenant” system, which is more of a flexible contract than other commitments. A conservative who finds the Catholic churches’ charity offensive, would likely find a home here, where catholics can behave like evangelistic fundamentalists while still pretending to be a Catholic.
I found the reading at their website pretty interesting.
YMMV
Do they like Kool-Aid? Inquiring minds want to know.
I understand now how Jim Jones got his followers to drink the Kool-Aid.
It may, or may not, be a cult. There are actually four criteria for something to be classified as a cult. (I forgot what they are off hand.) But we sure will find out more about these people.
The communal sharing stuff sounds kind of interesting and may make the proponents of Prosperity Jesus a little uncomfortable. (Joel Osteen, I'm looking at you.) In this sense, she is big surprise coming from the political party which rants about the dangers of creeping socialism.
Do you think Sen. Harris can make her cry, too?
Oh, and, here you go, R&R: https://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2014/06/the-seven-signs-youre-in-a-cult/361400
