Hello, my name is Michael. I enjoy making music (playing guitar, keyboard, singing, and writing music). I also love coming home to spend time with my family, cook, and help my oldest daughter with her homework.

You all really just never cease to expose your hypocrisy. Lmao

Idk how you can worry about this when we might not even make it to Inauguration Day before a catastrophic global conflict breaks out.

I don’t think these men and women have low IQ’s. They simply believe different things.

I was once nom’d for QA and lost. The board recognized I was more knowledgeable and more skilled. At the time, they wanted someone that would mercilessly harass technicians. They said that I would be too lenient as I believed in a remedial approach and not disciplinary. This is not much different.

Many simply disagree with those goals. Thats all it comes down to in the end.

Who is and isn’t qualified is a subjective matter that highly depends on one’s goals. If your goal is to purge the DoD of the last 10 years of policy changes, then I would say they found the guy that’s qualified for that. Thats how many of these nominations shake out. They qual to achieve the goal.

I agree. And even still I can have faith in those stories being accurate without denying science. Science is simply a way for us to conclude what we perceive. Obviously you cannot perceive a miracle out of sight. That also means there is no empirical evidence, but that’s why faith is what it is.

I’ve debated many. I don’t block people for being wrong or for continuing to argue. Of someone threatens me or harasses me that’s a different story. Too many people cower in fear of ideas. The more you block, the louder their echo chamber, the more resistance in the future.

Our Republic was founded on common men taking control of their destint. Socio-economic issues and matters of culture are also nothing like piloting a plane.

I understand the context. I simply think it’s catastrophizing.

I can certainly understand why you would vote that way, though I don’t see how you are being prevented from receiving healthcare. Are adults being prevented from receiving trans related treatments and operations in some states?

But still the point remains. A lot of people on the left hate the amount we spend on defense, but support a foreign policy requiring more spending. Meanwhile the right has shifted to an isolationist mindset that would require far less defense spending.

Much of our defense spending goes toward maintaining our posture in places like the indo pacific and Europe.

I personally haven’t met a conservative who doesn’t support some level of safety net and in these days liberals support a foreign policy that is more heavy on defense spending than what they want to spend. That doesn’t make sense to me. It seems hypocritical.

I think it’s less cynical than that though. The avg conservative simply values unborn life in a manner that is disproportionate to what the avg liberal does. If you valued the life of the unborn on equal terms, it wouldn’t solely be a matter of women’s rights. I find that to be disingenuous.

How is it different from ethical beliefs derived from secular philosophies
comment in response to
post
Every form of ethics is subjective. There is no philosophical ethical system any more or less subjective than the ethical teaching of religious texts from the Bible to the Tao Te Ching. Everyone picks a certain set of ethical beliefs and lives by them, again no one being more or less subjective.

You can believe in something like God without rejecting science. Belief in God solely requires no need to contradict anything that science has led us to believe.

This is what they call a false equivalence

I would argue it’s quite the opposite. Most conservatives I know are successful people with families and basically everything they have wanted in life.

He doesn’t use mind control. Ppl just don’t care, or rather conservative Americans don’t care about what liberal Americans want. They despise liberal American values so much that conservatives don’t care if everything is true. It’s all worth it to stop the liberal agenda. lol

Well duh. Many of their products have inputs imported from China. Of course it will cost. That’s precisely how tariffs help local suppliers. It’s a cost to consumers but the benefit to local suppliers can theoretically pay off in the long run while doing more harm to the exporter.
comment in response to
post
I don’t care about this. Tariffs are economic warfare. Most of what will be affected are products from or containing inputs from child factories in China that have zero environmental regs. Tariffs benefit the gov and domestic suppliers. That comes with a cost to consumers but worth it in long run.

At this rate you won’t get groceries because you’ll be living under nuclear fallout before Inauguration Day (I’m not MAGA)

Because greed works unfortunately. Patents incentivize research. That much is clear. Companies aren’t going to throw money at a wall knowing there is no return. No return means bankruptcy anyways.

As a conservative I think the best COA is to find these people and DOCUMENT them. We cannot look back on our history of coming to a foreign land, fighting wars for already occupied land, and then just deporting people. We need something more comprehensive and more American than deportation.

Abortion is just one contentious issue. The violence and neglect towards women in general is far more impactful on how women perceive men in my opinion.

They have probably just been mulling over this since reports of N Korean troops. This course of action was probably inevitable and would have been implemented regardless of who won election.
