Some of the above cultists and many of the cultists on their way should read Mark's discernment post again. Then they should discern real hard before answering. I discern that a bovine critter just had a huge bowel movement. Or really should.

How do political posts get turned into religious sermons? That'd be termed a worldview. Your allowance (freedom) for other worldviews not on a long tether this evening? You prefer mulberries and some folks prefer blueberries. You struggle quite a bit with one worldview in particular and that's ok. There's a lot of that going around these days. Blessings, Mark

30 years ago, it may have been hard to discern what we were as both sides made good arguments. When Obamba was elected, that changed ALLOT. I vote R although I gotta admit I'm a bit ashamed as what R means but as of right now, I'd be disgusted have the D moniker attached to me!

When the personality takes precedent over the policy. Trump supporters are often accused of this. Liberals are creatures of emotion and conservative Trumpsters are more likely to be pragmatic.

Yep. Liberalism (by philosophical definition) is an emotional position. If you are debating, arguing, or flat out even trying to discuss facts, figures, stats, history, or any other logical process with a liberal please realize.... they hate that. You're calling their baby (emotions) ugly.

I don't believe you have to be on the left or right to be a man of hard core values. The main problem with this America is people divided.You call yourselves Conservatives or Liberals I'm right down the middle on separate issues, not claiming to be on one sides or other.Neither side is right or wrong, today we need to be less one sided and willing to do what makes every American have a better life.

The problem with standing on top of the fence post appeasing those approaching from either side is you either become confused or untrustworthy or both

I assume he meant he's conservative on some issues and liberal on others. For example, someone fiscally conservative and socially liberal. I imagine that would be a living heck because you'd go through life never happy and hating both sides.
Thankfully I'm pretty far right, although there are a few issues I lean left on... like legalizing and/or decriminalizing drugs, allowing felons to vote (and have guns!), etc.

Thankfully I'm pretty far right, although there are a few issues I lean left on... like legalizing and/or decriminalizing drugs, allowing felons to vote (and have guns!), etc. When you hear socially liberal people often make the assumption that someone is "for" a certain issue. That isn't necessarily so. It may mean they don't care about an issue enough to grant government the right to control or enforce the issue. Example: We have a law in Oklahoma that requires me to show ID to buy Sudafed or it's generic equivalent. This was done to put a dent in the meth problem. You go to the counter and ask for a box of the medicine. You have to show ID and they record how many boxes you bought. So, in theory, LE can check these records to see who is buying up all the Sudafed and it would help narrow down who to check out. But it hasn't done squat to stop the meth problem, they're still cooking, selling, and blowing their houses apart... But I still have to show ID. Now showing ID to buy sinus medicine isn't exactly an onerous overreach... But it sets the precedent to give idiot politicians the power to infringe on a lot of other things in the name of public safety, health, or any other stupid reason they come up with... And the meth heads are still blowing their houses up cooking the crap because they found other sources for ingredients. The law did nothing to solve the problem. But it gave politicians the opportunity to get their toe in the door... And the last couple of years have proven what happens when you give them that little bit of power. So socially liberal doesn't necessarily indicate someone is "for" a certain issue... It might just mean they're against giving government a little more power that they can use as an excuse for overreach later on. The Patriot Act and the 1/6 folks rotting in cells waiting trial is another good example. Some folks here would say those folks deserve it... But everyone thinks that until it's their turn... And then they wonder where their fair and speedy trial is at. Mike

Back to politics. All successful politicians have charisma. people are just attracted to them. So maybe all politics is cult like. We're looking for a voice, someone with brains and articulate enough to convey the message we want heard. Those types aren't a dime a dozen. I'll follow the person who champions my cause, that doesn't make me a member of a cult.
