American democracy in crisis

by slimboyfat in

okay cut to the chase.

the united states has got a problem.

hillary clinton is so unpopular that practically any republican who ran against her would probably have beaten her.

Lisa you think Killery is less of an Authoritarian? If you are gonna do a bianary Trump vs Hillery comparison at least realize that Hillery has a LOT more death on her hands! Look up Jill Stine, you seem to be a lefty I think you will really like Jill! No fears you not voting Dem is not gonna effect the election much at all. In fact most 3rd party voters are more right then left. There has not been a non Authoritarian US leader in a LONG time

Hillary does not adopt an authoritarian style of leadership. At the convention Trump was saying "The country is going to hell in a handbasket and I am the only one who can fix it. Hillary was saying " Things are not so bad and together we can make them better." Its a completely different approach.

I heard an interesting analysis of this on NPR. Some peoplre are more comfortable with an authoritarian style and they are drawn to Trump, the statistics on that are quite clear.

I am a moderate Democrat. I don't have a problem with Hillary's politics, just her integrity. I am not at all knee jerk liberal, I am not voting for Jill Stien, I am hearing that in the past she has come out against GMOs and vaccines, two areas on which I am not liberal at all, if you could could consider that a liberal thing. I believe in science.

I haven't heard Hilary say she supports black lives matter, in fact she got in trouble with them for saying "all lives matter". I'm not saying its not true, I have no idea, so what is your source for that? Breitbart doesn't count.

Hard to have a marriage when there is no respect.

I read of a study on marriage where they followed couples fort a number of years. The common demo!inator in the marriages that didn't make it was contempt. It may have been small micro expressions, but in every case where there was contempt expressed by one or both, the marriage later failed.

LOL, so Hilary is responsible for all acts of violence against white people? That's hilarious.

This has never been acceptable behavior for anyone and that will not change. EOM, you are completely irrational.

So there are stupid people in BOTH political parties? Wow, I am shocked!

Actually, what defines Trump supporters more than educational levels or intelligence is Authoritativism and fear of terrorism, and the first is far more important. Those who support Trump like an authoritative style of leadership. He makes definitive, black and white statements, and I guess some people like that.

i have often wished i knew better words to give here when i see couples 'bleeding'.

1. avoid letting the children take over your lives.

although you need to love and care for your children in the very best ways that you can, it’s also important that they don’t dominate your entire relationship.. children are an important part of your relationship.

LisaRose

what is the point in maintaining a relationship like that?

There isn't, that's why we have divorce. Its takes effort on both parts, if one person isnt interested in the marriage, no amount of counseling will work. But not all marriages are like that, many marriages can be helped.

Elders Advice Backfired And Now Im The Happiest I've Ever Been

by pale.emperor in

just wanted to update you guys of the amazing couple of weeks i've had in recovering from the cult.. i was attending the meetings still just so i could see my daughter in the kingdom hall and have her sit we me half the time.

i had no intention of ever becoming a jw again but was hoping to be re-instated and just not turn up ever again so i could at least see my family.

but then an elder said something to me that changed all that.

LisaRose

I am so happy for you. As hard as it is to lose family, you do gain something important when you refuse to play the game: the freedom to be what and who you are and to live your life on your own terms. Now you don't have to be looking over your shoulder wondering if you will be outed, you can just live your life.

Sharia Law in the US, it's coming folks.

by James Mixon in

my question, why would one immigrate to the west and refuse to adopt the western cultural?.

if you believe our way of life is so degenerated why bring your family to this place.. in a very close 5-4 vote, the city of irving ruled to back the texas state bill banning foreign.

law from the state.

I didn't say is was implemented I said it is coming. "

Again, where is the proof that it is coming? You seem to be basing it on nothing more than rumor and paranoia.

This was a rumor. Again, I am looking for actual proof, not internet rumor.

Proof would be a major mews source, naming an actual city where Sharia law was actually implemented.

There has been much global debate on Sharia Law and how Muslims are trying to implement said law into governments, such as the United States.
One of the rumors was that the the first Sharia Law Court had opened in Irving, approved by City government. However, Mayor Van Duyne has proven the rumor false, who took to social media to let residents know the truth.
Post by Beth Van Duyne on her facebook account:
Sharia Law Court was NOT approved or enacted by the City of Irving. Recently, there have been rumors suggesting that the City of Irving has somehow condoned, approved or enacted the implementation of a Sharia Law Court in our City. Let me be clear, neither the City of Irving, our elected officials or city staff have anything to do with the decision of the mosque that has been identified as starting a Sharia Court.
As Mayor of the City of Irving, I took an oath to uphold the laws of the State of Texas and the Constitution of the United States. I respect the freedoms guaranteed under the First Amendment and believe that protecting fundamental constitutional rights and ensuring that individual rights are not violated or denied is essential.
Currently, Texas Supreme Court precedent does not allow the application of foreign law that violates public policy, statutory, or federal laws. However, now that this issue has emerged in our community, I am working with our State Representatives on legislation to clarify and strengthen existing prohibitions on the application of foreign law in violation of constitutional or statutory rights.
American citizens need to remember that their rights are guaranteed by the Constitution and I believe no one should subjugate themselves to anything less. While I am working to better understand how this “court” will function and whom will be subject to its decisions, please know if it is determined that there are violations of basic rights occurring, I will not stand idle and will fight with every fiber of my being against this action. Our nation cannot be so overly sensitive in defending other cultures that we stop protecting our own. The American Constitution and our guaranteed rights reigns supreme in our nation and may that ever be the case.
