We have had issues with folks being very political back in 2015 & 2016. We tried a separate "political forum" and it worked for awhile and then got too personal. If you want to post an opinion in your own thread, within the rules, that's fine. It's when folks start responding in other threads when it can get a bit personal and out of control.
May the force be with us.
I think I missed something? This was the last thing I posted which seems to have been removed. I didn't know Founding Father quotes was offensive.
"Government mandating sick people to stay home is called quarantine. However, the government mandating healthy citizens to stay home, forcing businesses and churches to close is called tyranny,"
If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.
James Madison
(in 2020 it is a scary sounding virus name from a foreign country)
I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations.
James Madison
(how far will they go with the next so called scare?)
Tyranny is defined as that which is legal for the government but illegal for the citizenry.
Unknown
It is the religion of ignorance that tyranny begins.
Benjamin Franklin
We are right to take alarm at the first experiment upon our liberties.
James Madison
(shut down of the country and our Liberties and destroy millions of lives to save a very few the same already sickly that could die from the flu?)
The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home.
James Madison
"Our Constitution was made only for a Moral and Religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the goverment of any other." John Adams 10/11/1798
Well, I don't see anything offensive in your post. Seems fine. Apparently the post right after yours caused that person to go off in an unusual direction, and I just could not let his name calling go unanswered.
Best wishes to you Valkyrie

Just trying to put out the fire, if it continues it will be dealt with appropriately. Politics in the USA is a mess. Just cool it.ahamock.gif
I am NOT trying to carry on something people are seeing as insulting to their beliefs, so I'll clarify what you said and leave it at that. I is, was, and am not insulting you.
A full quiver Christian or "quiver-full" is a belief, in radical right wing theological circles, which explicitly states white American Christians have a responsibility to God to create as many children as possible to bleed out non-believers and people of color. I've met many of these in Fed LE and been invited to meetings regularly.
I specifically stated I have met many Catholics who openly claim to have loyalty to the Pope over the US Constitution. That is all I said. I did not say "Catholics are loyal to the Pope over the US Constitution". I sincerely hope you see the nuance there.
I'm dumbfounded by your interpretation of my words. Are you intentionally applying my negative opinions of radical conservative zealots to yourself? I was outlining how we should not entertain the radical beliefs of either extreme end of the political or social spectrum.
Again, I do not want to devolve into a name calling back and forth, it is not my intention. Please read what I write critically, I am not insulting Christianity or Conservative values.
I think we've given enough warnings about spouting political opinions because people will respond, will be offended (on both sides) and we've been down this road before and I'm not going there again.
Thanks for stopping by, but this thread will be temporary closed if it's all about politics / religion, etc.
If I see it in other threads and it's the same offenders, those members will be banned. I just don't have time to babysit every post.
I really wish we could do this, but we've been around for 16 years and discussing politics nearly destroyed the forum a couple of times because it brings out the worst in some people, and I don't want to go down that road again.
I hope you all can understand. We'll get your thread back before long Valkyrie.
For those of you who are compelled to talk politics, might I suggest: http://www.politicalforum.com
Now, how about those TSP Funds, huh?
