About Me:
Freedom in the United States is neither absolute nor non-existent. It is in-between, and the more laws that are passed, the less free we become. However, I live in true freedom. The kind of freedom no government can ever give. The kind of true freedom only Jesus can give.
John 8:31-36 "Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If you continue in my word, then are you, my disciples, indeed; 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 33 They answered him, We are Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how say you, You shall be made free?
34 Jesus answered them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Whoever commits sin is the servant of sin. 35 And the servant stays not in the house for ever: but the Son stays ever. 36 If the Son, therefore, shall make you free, you shall be free indeed."
To be frank, I don't admire many people even though I may admire something they say, do, wear, etc. But then I have no problem complimenting anyone either.

However, when I do compliment someone, it's an honest, heartfelt compliment. I don't compliment folks just to pass the time or to make them feel better. I also try very hard not to insult anyone for anything whether I admire them or I don't admire them. :)

President Trump said there wasn't any right from the beginning. Had there been any collusion, it would have been found out before Mueller started anything. For the record, collusion was what this whole Mueller investigation was all about. Unfortunately, because of the left's insane hatred for President Trump and with the intention of getting Trump out of office at all cost, it was turned into a witch hunt with a huge dose of the circus atmosphere brought to us by the liberal press and liberal politicians. :) less

Why are they haunted by this? First, they have no idea where this "Tiny Dot" came from initially. They have no clue as to what caused this tiny dot to suddenly explode into what we know now as the universe. They simply cannot get past this. Yes, the universe is connected but what keeps it connected? What keeps it from flying apart into oblivion? Until science can explain these and many other problems, they will rely on opinion, conjecture, and guesswork. Will science ever be able to solve these mysteries? With their current data and mindset, no. Yes, there is a reason why the universe exists but it's no mystery. As always, just my opinion. :) less

Chelsea Clinton simply called her out for it much to the dismay of the Muslim students who attacked her for telling the truth. Is there blame for Chelsea? Not as far as I'm concerned. Conservative Republicans came to Chelsea's defense. Gotta love it and tells me a lot about their mindset compared to the liberal mindset. :)

The Electoral College was formed around 1787. What you should do is to research the history of the Electoral College to find out why it was established. I am Pro Electoral College and I say keep it. It has served this nation well through the years. :)
99% of what I listen too on the radio is AM. I get unbiased news reports and talk shows from the local stations. Most of the music played on FM stations here can be used as compost. :)

For me personally, I view political correctness as a perceived hypersensitivity or offense to something that someone says or does. In addition to using political correctness to demonize someone, it is also used to limit discussion on sensitive issues or to stifle criticism from a political opponent.In many cases, people use the notion of being publicly offended along with feigned outrage as a way to gain support in labeling or judging the motives of someone’s heart. Now to explain why I am not politically correct and why I feel the way I do about it. Political correctness is a blatant contradiction of the teachings of Scripture, particularly in Ephesians chapter 4 as well as many other places. As a Christian, I consider what I do and what I say in the light of Scripture, not in the opinions of those who advocate things that are against Scripture, Therefore, I don't worry about being politically correct, I focus on being Biblically correct.

The qualities and traits I admire most are honesty, common-sense, integrity, and political incorrectness. What about the person I don't? The one that sadly lacks what the person I admire has. :)
I usually don't dumb down what I'm saying but I have no problem repeating myself or clarifying what I'm saying if a person tells me they don't understand. :)
For me, the idea is much more important than the manner in which it is presented. Where an idea comes from doesn't matter to me because the context of the idea is most times researched, studied and sometimes refined before I even put it into use. :)
You're welcome. Corruption has always existed but sad to say, it seems to be escalating at an alarming rate in almost every area in our society. You have a happy Wednesday also. :)
Actually, power does need to be explained. I'm not controlled by any powerful person and anyone who thinks that they do control me better have a good explanation as to why they think that. Having said that, does power corrupt? Only if you allow it to. :)

They may hate anyone that isn't like them. Or perhaps that's the way they were brought up. Could be a number of reasons. :)

I wouldn't choose any celebrity to be my close pal because I'm not attracted to self-important, immoral, corrupt, and abominable individuals who live in a fantasy world and do nothing more than learn lines for a living. As always, just my opinion. :)
I can't recall of ever allowing myself to be talked into doing anything that would humiliate me. As far as that goes, I can't be talked into doing anything I don't want to do. :)

A decision that they have every right to make whether you, me, or anyone else agrees with it or not. After years of inconsistency among individual United Methodist churches, it's good to see a single, coherent Bible-based policy being put in place. Will it cause problems? Yes, it will and judging by your question, it already has. :)

John makes a further distinction when he says: “We know that we are of God, and the whole world is in the power of the evil one” (1 John 5:19). Which now leaves us with the question: In what sense does Satan “rule” the world? The Bible often uses “the world” or “this world” to refer to the present evil system of opposition to God. So, the Bible never teaches that Satan actually rules over the entire world, but that he is ruler over the current system of sinful opposition to God. In other words, he’s leading the rebellion against God.The book of Job talks about the limited nature of Satan’s power. Satan came before God with other heavenly beings (Job 1:6), and God asked him where he had been (1:7). Satan tells him, and God asks ... less

If done with honesty, integrity, and common sense, perhaps it would, in a positive way influence others around us to take a look at what we have done to change our lives in such a positive manner. We can't force anyone to change. That's something we, as individuals, need to do if we so desire. :)

I normally limit my comments to my personal experiences with people. I wrongly projected my experiences into a much larger arena where they had no business being. I appreciate and thank you for pointing that out. No need to feel sorry for me. I'm a big boy and can handle constructive criticism and will take responsibility for my own actions. :)
No, I'm not really an infomercial person. I've never bought anything because of one. I always research any product that interest's me before I decide to buy or not buy it. :)

People didn't even need contracts. A handshake was reliable. Today, even if you have a written contract you have little guarantee that those who entered into the contract will even attempt to fulfill it. About half of Americans simply can't be trusted anymore.I've been observing this trend toward a nation of people who lack integrity for quite some time and it's disturbing, to say the least. Lack of integrity is far-reaching and touches all professions to one degree or another. Some are much worse than others. Which is less deceitful, devious, or duplicitous is hard to nail down because it takes only one person to cause problems for the many. :) less

That said, I have been trying to cut back on my involvement in answering political questions here but unfortunately, it's difficult because of the large amount of misinformation (due to a lack of research), half-truths, and sometimes even lies I see posted. When that happens I feel a deep desire and need to answer. You are correct though, you and I will never see eye to eye in the world of politics. So I won't answer any more of your numerous political questions. :) less
Not everything wrong is the fault of the Democrats and I have said as much before. However, the last several years has shown that most of the troubles we have experienced, falls directly on the Democrats. Especially the socialist radical ones. Do the research. :)

Challenging the incumbent with a primary has apparently happened 4 times since the founding of the nation. Everyone who was challenged went down in flames; no challenger became victorious. A Republican is less likely to be elected by challenging Trump than they are to win the Democrat primaries. Why are there so many Democrats running for President? They want to hold that seat of power once again so they can begin anew destroying this country as Obama tried to do. Also because they hate Trump for beating their little darling Hillary. :) less

We can't force anyone to change. That's something we, as individuals, need to do if we so desire. :)

I normally limit my comments to my personal experiences with people. I wrongly projected my experiences into a much larger arena where they had no business being. I appreciate and thank you for pointing that out. No need to feel sorry for me. I'm a big boy and can handle constructive criticism and will take responsibility for my own actions. :)

A handshake was reliable. Today, even if you have a written contract you have little guarantee that those who entered into the contract will even attempt to fulfill it. About half of Americans simply can't be trusted anymore.I've been observing this trend toward a nation of people who lack integrity for quite some time and it's disturbing, to say the least. Lack of integrity is far-reaching and touches all professions to one degree or another. Some are much worse than others. Which is less deceitful, devious, or duplicitous is hard to nail down because it takes only one person to cause problems for the many. :) less

It's the only proper way, albeit a sometimes more difficult way, to view life, especially if you want the truth. That said, I have been trying to cut back on my involvement in answering political questions here but unfortunately, it's difficult because of the large amount of misinformation (due to a lack of research), half-truths, and sometimes even lies I see posted. When that happens I feel a deep desire and need to answer. You are correct though, you and I will never see eye to eye in the world of politics. So I won't answer any more of your numerous political questions. :) less

However, the last several years has shown that most of the troubles we have experienced, falls directly on the Democrats. Especially the socialist radical ones. Do the research. :)

Challenging the incumbent with a primary has apparently happened 4 times since the founding of the nation. Everyone who was challenged went down in flames; no challenger became victorious. A Republican is less likely to be elected by challenging Trump than they are to win the Democrat primaries. Why are there so many Democrats running for President? They want to hold that seat of power once again so they can begin anew destroying this country as Obama tried to do. Also because they hate Trump for beating their little darling Hillary. :) less

I also can't remember a time when I felt like a victim or a hostage of my parent's inadequacies or anything else. We all have inadequacies and most of them are self-inflicted so we should step back and take stock of them before we decide to throw our parents under the bus for theirs.

Unfortunately, the insane, unnatural hatred she harbors for Trump destroyed any remnant of logic, reason, truth, and common sense she may have had. As always, just my opinion. :)

Other than when I was young and wanting to be a fireman or police officer, I don't recall of ever wanting to be like anyone or to have any abilities other than the ones I had or developed later on. :)
