Unseen started the topic Why is the Democratic Party so hated? in the forum Politics 9 months ago
Is it because Democrat leaders don’t talk like normal people? They can’t say “pregnant woman,” substituting “pregnant person.”; they insist on reciting their pronouns and want you to recite yours, they insist on saying “unhoused” and seem to find something wrong with “homeless.”
All of these add up to telling the voter “You are stupid” or “you…[Read more]

That’s right, Trump’s electoral strength—and his staying power—have been buoyed, above all, by Americans with authoritarian inclinations.I’ve heard that before.

Sunday School 9 months agoI think Bill Maher mentioned this recently. It may have been a different family. But a similar event. A family found Arizona to be “too woke” so they moved to Texas, only to find it was just not conservative enough for them. So they sold everything and

Random Posts 9 months, 1 week agoBack in 2006, Harvard cardiologist Herbert Benson led what was then the biggest-ever study of prayer’s effect on health. Funded by the Templeton Foundation — who were quietly praying it would turn out differently — the trial looked at over 1,800 heart bypass patients. Some were told they were being prayed for, some weren’t, and a whole lot of peop…[Read more]
