Two Spirits At War In America?

[GodsGrace]

Without wanting to come off as slanted, this is almost exactly the way I see things here in the States. At least where the media is concerned, it is near impossible to find anyone on the Left who comes off as moderate, and I have to attribute this to a spirit at work.

A spirit doesn't want to reason with you. It has an agenda, and will vilify anyone or anything that stands in its way.

It's OK to be slanted.
The right has an agenda, and the left has an agenda.
The difference is that the left is willing to do anything to get what they want.
They want to obliterate the right to get what they want.
And, yes, it can only be a spirit for the feeling to be this strong..
Kill babies, ruin families, destroy the institution of marriage, accept any kind of sexuality, anything goes, loss of civility.
And start in kindergarten --- this is the next generation.
I feel like it's already too late, but we shouldn't stop trying.

Drain that Swamp!

Reacting to news that Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt resigned Thursday, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) released a one-word statement, attributed to Executive Director Noah Bookbinder: “Good.”

Pruitt's resignation is a direct result of Left-Liberal unhinged hatred. But it was a very serious mistake for him to resign. That gives the haters incentive to continue with their hate-filled rhetoric and nonsense. The only way to deal with bullies is to stand up to them.

As to draining the swamp, Pruitt was working on it and should have continued on that.

Just have to replace him with even more of a hardliner, that will show them.

YES agree.

According to Pew Research...

People should not put too much stock in Pew Research or any polling service. They all skew the results. What does *Christian* means in these polls? Probably not what the Bible means.

'A recent Grey Matter Research study showed that 44% of all Americans could not give any sort of substantive answer when asked to define what an evangelical Christian is, including 14% of the people who actually described themselves as evangelicals...

In fact, many Americans would also argue that these terms [born again and evangelical] are not the same thing. In a recent Grey Matter Research study of 1,007 American adults, 34% of all Americans would use one (or both) of these phrases to describe themselves. However, of those who would, just 40% would use both.

Forty-nine percent would call themselves a born-again Christian, but not an evangelical, and another 11% would call themselves an evangelical, but not a born-again Christian. So when a survey question asks, “Are you a born-again or evangelical Christian,” six out of ten people who say yes are only reacting positively to one of those phrases, not both. Most Americans do not see “evangelical” and “born-again” as the same thing.'

I am liberal and moderate

I am liberal and moderate

Well I'm fine with that, LoL. You're good natured, so you don't qualify as someone who comes under the spirit I am concerned about. I have some other friends who are as well, and I respect them greatly (though we disagree like crazy, LoL). But when it is done in a Spirit of peace, healthy disagreement from different points of view can be very refreshing and beneficial for all concerned, don't you think?

No one's perfect.

I wish you'd say this about me. I would take it to mean I must be close. Glory!

Trump administration officials at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are reportedly suppressing a highly anticipated report that would warn Americans about the cancer risks that come with one of the most common chemicals in our environment.
The draft risk assessment, from the EPA’s Integrated Risk Information System, is expected to show that ingesting formaldehyde — breathing it in through car and furniture emissions, or slathering it on our skin via cosmetics — can cause leukemia and nose and throat cancers. The report was completed last fall, and slated to move on to the National Academies of Science for external peer review.

More corrupt or more willing to gut the EPA?

Nice come back.

I think moderates are unique in this day and age. I hope you can see the extreme on both sides - conservatives happen to be quite organized and willing to justify the ends. Either liberals in power are woefully unable to organize true resistance or more likely, they benefit personally from the conservative agenda.

Both sides love to tinker with abortion - nothing like a good wedge issue to secure power. And anyone who knows history remembers how 19th century politicians benefited from the prohibition debate for over 100 years until they were foolish enough to actually outlaw alcohol - i doubt either side wants to repeat that mistake again! It took another 40 years to replace prohibition with abortion.

Isnt it odd that more are declared Chriatians, than the number who believe there is a God? How can one be a Christian and not believe in God?

Sounds like a screwed up poll...

That would make you a Conservative in Canada
