Words to ponder

“When every benefit received is a right, there is no place for good manners, let alone for gratitude.”


~Theodore Dalrymple

Benjamin Disraeli, one of Britain’s greatest statesmen, knew better than most that leadership is about holding firm to the truth while addressing societal challenges head-on.

"Man is not the creature of circumstances. Circumstances are the creatures of men."

"Nurture national pride by solving the problems of the people."

"Justice is truth in action."

"The secret of success is constancy to purpose."

“Grammar and spelling were no longer important. To be clean was no better than to be filthy. Good manners were no better than bad. Family life was derided as an outdated bourgeois concept… Thus was sown the wind, and we are now reaping the whirlwind.”


~Norman Tebbit
 
So in other words if you saw a fascist Nazi dictator who is an existential threat to democracy about to become president, you shouldn't just wait for the catastrophe you should stop that person from gaining control of the govt. Hmmmmmm
What democracy???
 
there's an argument that explicitly atheist regimes are the most maniacal.
Atheists are not maniacal at all. Fundmentalists are, though. including fundamentalists of the Church of No God, the Church of Global Warming, the Church of Green, the Church of Covid, the Church of the Ozone Hole, and the Church of Hate.
 
Correct. Humans are primed to be lunatics in large groups it seems. Religion, politics, social groups, it doesn't matter. We'll take ANY concept and fight each other over it.

It just seems that religion should bring people together. Instead it just becomes another dividing line. But, again, it's evidence of the hand of man in creating religion. We do the same thing with everything we create.
Calling everyone a lunatic won't work, Sybil.
 
Couple points:

1. You enjoy "socialism" every single day. It's why we have a free interstate highway system,
Freeways are not socialism.
it's why you have medicare,
This is socialism, and unconstitutional. It's also some of the most expensive healthcare around.
it's why you have clean water etc.
Clean water isn't socialism.
You don't like to think of them as socialism but they are.
Go learn what 'socialism' is. Go learn English.
2. There aren't as many "leaches" as you guys on the Right want to claim there is.
Every socialist is a leach. Socialism is based on wealth. Democrats are socialists. So are you,
3. The number of leaches on society must also include all the Red States that take more in government funds than they pay in.
Argument from randU fallacy.

We all enjoy a certain level of "socialism". That's why our society has at least SOME value as a society.
Roads are not socialism. Clean water is not socialism. Redefinition fallacies. Go learn English.
