The cancel culture

You mean like before? Same old same o. What will the country look like in 4 years if the far left continue to silence the conservatives voices? They have big tech silencing conservative outlets. They have Hollywood. They have most of the Media. They have sports. They have the Congress and President.

Just keep silent. Let it happen. Don’t speak up for what is good and right. Keep your mouth shut. Don’t rock the boat. You are doing exactly what the left spent 4 years wanting you to do. To sit down and shut up! They wore people out so they would quit fighting against socialism, communism and fascism. Fortunately, somewhere between 80-90% of conservatives are still behind Trump. The only real one that is willing to stand up and fight the leftists. Cruz and ancouple others are trying but they aren’t really electable.

You lead by example, it’s the most important thing that you, an insignificant atom in this universe can do. You you see President Nelson or the quorum of the 12 post rants on social media? Can you imagine Christ doing it? You do what you can and it’s great to be positively aggressive in supporting correct principles, but whatever you do-do it with class. There are too many morons on both sides of the political spectrum acting like total idiots and too many citizens acting like crazy psycho’s

And we have a large number of people who think the way you do. This has caused America now to go have a racebaiting President who is putting together a Marxist cabinet with Marxist and fascist bureaucrats that have begun canceling conservative speech.

You think what the Democrat are already doing is better? You think their hate is good?

So, you want to bring religion into this conversation. Two things to keep in mind about the Lord. He violently threw the money changers out of the temple. He also will come in glory and destroy the wicked at his coming. You forget he flooded the earth wiping out all life. He can get angry.

You and I aren’t God. But what is civil disobedience with class anyway? We all dress up in suits and dresses and go riot?

You are entitled to your own opinion and you can attempt to justify your own actions all you want-it’s your constitutional right, however I am also entitled to believe as I do and you are sometimes intolerant of other peoples beliefs and opinions so end this dialogue, because I don’t necessarily believe these rants that you go on and I’m happy that I don’t. But I support your right to rant. I just don’t choose to respond sometimes, but good luck :four_leaf_clover:

Of course you have your rights. But look at what is happening since too many decided not to vote or decided to vote for Biden and Democrats in Georgia. With a Democrat Congress and President, the tech giants who control a massive amount of speech are now embolden to silence conservative and religious speech on their platforms. Parler was extinguished from the Internet highways as is others. Soon,!they will be after right wing radio and Fox News. Next, religious organizations. Major banks are falling in line as well refusing business to conservative organizations. Elections have consequences. So, your group doesn’t like the Orange meanie. So, you help get elected Marxist and fascist meanies. Nice going.

Voted for him in Both elections. Trump probably did more for the nation in 4 years then any person I can think of outside of Reagan and he would of won easily if he could of kept him mouth shut. The Georgian senators would of won easily if Trump would of kept him mouth shut. But this is a man that called the silicon valley CO- horse face. Called Cruz- Lyin Ted and countless people that were his friends and confidants, team players- disparaged them. I defended Trump for 4 stinkin years, when the swamp made up lie after lie, when they impeached them with false witness. still defended Trump. But when he sat idlily and let pro trumpers break into the capital. That was the last straw. End, Finito. Done, Bye Bye. Adios. as in GO AWAY forever.

Now do I like that Facebook et al. have banned him forever? Hell no! 72 million voters are not going to be quiet about these Gestapo tactics and chillax about what Biden will do, The House is barely a mijority and the senate is 50/50. That dude will turn America into a depression if he messes with Oil in any major way. We are years from getting out of covid wreckage to our businesses and economy. Biden will rule for 2 years then lose the House and Senate. None of this would of happened if Trump has any people skills…How I hate Narsists and what they do to everyone in their path.
Nikki Haley, come heal this Country

The only thing I would disagree with is the assertion Trump could have done anything to stop the siege on the Capitol building. There’s no way for him to go there and stop it. How would he have done that. There were probably some Antifa amongst that group that went inside. Was he supposed to make a phone call? He was clear before the protestors went over to the Capitol building. He told them several times not to be violent. He said for them to peacefully protest. So, why was it his fault?

Couldn’t have said it better

I still haven’t seen or heard an answer to the assertion that Trump could have done anything to stop the siege on the Capitol building. There’s no way for him to have gone there and stopped it. How would he have done that?

Like most politicians, Trump was a good one when he started and a bad one by the time he left. It is just the way it is. Now we have career politicians who will be in charge, they have been bad for decades and now they are the worst… in so many ways. They are dragging themselves down and seem bent on taking the country with them. We have been in the year 2021 for almost 2 weeks now and I want 2021 to end like I did 2020. What a horrible society we have become. It’s really too bad and I don’t see it getting better anytime soon.

Is that a negative outlook? Not really, just trying to be realistic and objective here. I really don’t think it will get better until Christ returns. Now that is something I will look forward to with hope, something that makes me feel good, peaceful and happy. No more political ranting for me, I’m done with all of them.

Aren’t we told to be involved with politics? Don’t run away. Use you intellect and spirituality to explain to brain dead liberals and republicans. We can overcome :nerd_face:

That is true, but “How” we are involved is the real issue. You can stand and support your platform, but when it crosses over the line of normal behavior, then you are no better than the people you are trying to “overcome”.

Jim,
I would agree with you to a point about your comments. I think Trump was not a politician, which is one of the reasons he had so much resistance to changes he wanted to make.

But personally, I think Trump finally cracked under the pressure. What Pressure? the crap that no other President has had to deal with. Four years of constant attack, people openly and willingly trying to sabotage his Presidency (leaks from within the Government). The constant barrage from the media, and then you have the democrats, who some of them campaign promises were to impeach the President.
I truly believe Trump has become delusional because of the constant attacks, was the election stolen? No one will ever know, because there will never be an investigation into the state courts changing election laws.
I hear my friends on the left that say things like “This impeachment is about integrity of the office”. I asked them if they cared so much about integrity, then why are you not appalled as I am at the Democrats in congress violating the “rule of Law” and “Due Process” (which is both constitutional principals) that the House did to impeach Trump?

They are violating their oaths to uphold the Constitution by not allowing due process for Trump.

Like the Lamanites or the Japanese at Pearl Harbor. We have the right to bear arms for what Floyd? Hunting? Is that what The Founding Fathers put that into the Constitution? Read the Declaration of Independence. The question is do we have “the old guards” taking over? Like frogs in a pot with the water heating up, some can see what’s going on and some can’t. We try to speak out about what’s happening. But, our words are then used against us. See what the leftists are doing with Trump supporters now? Telling businesses not to hire them or they will be unable to use there platforms. Wake up. 1984 is here.

Excellent Floyd! The question is what to do about it! Communists and Fascists don’t care about our laws and following them.

Personally, I don’t think he cracked at all. This year was hard because of the virus and shutdowns of our economy. The speech he gave last week was what this country needed to hear. The left needs to know we won’t put up with Marxism or Fascism. The transcripts of his speech you find on Google have been altered. He told the crowd to peacefully protest. Some of the YouTube videos have been altered eliminating that. Also, the thugs who broke in to the Capitol building had already left the talk and were at the Capitol. They didn’t hear him. Not sure if they would have followed his directions as some were armed with pipe bombs.

So Jim, the obvious is that we get term limits on all these jokers. Can we as a nation do it, can we get it on a ballot?

the only real way to do this is a States Constitutional Convention where the states gets together and pass a Constitutional amendment.

So…if there was a time to get states to stand up and do it, it is now. Otherwise we will see more and more division.

Thanks for clarifying things Floyd. You are correct in what I was thinking and believe, nice.
