Except part of the issue is that it's not all that extreme. The things advocated by ISIS are really advocated by muslim doctrine. We are just lucky that most muslims play mental gymnastics in order to excuse them or to circumvent them in order to be better people.

in an era that wants a black James Bond as a female, adores Wonder Woman and Black Panther

I would challenge that it's what American wants, and this is the head scratcher here. How could it be that the folks that control information (Hollywood, Media, etc) continue to push these narratives as if they are new reality, while they keep getting rejected by America as a whole, when America has a chance to speak?

Well, now you see the two Americas. One America that despite not representing how the country feels is continuously normalized by the media, and then the America of how the majority of the country really feels about those issues.

The media portrays a black female James Bond as a virtue and the ideal of how thing should be, and the average American silently shakes his head at the ridiculousness.

I suspect that mail voting could in theory be secure if the process was better designed to have a layer of authentication. This layer could help confirm : a) if the person is alive b)if the person still lives at that address c)if it's really the person who completed the ballot

But (unless I'm wrong), the current process is basically sending a ballot to a person/address of a registered voter which could be on file for decades, and just process it as a vote once it comes back. Also, what an archaic solution, considering the tech advancements available.

This should be done online. For example, I had to register to sign up for the Global Entry program, and I had to jump through several hoops to sign on to login.gov which is basically a fed government portal to access govnmt services. You can't tell me that this would not be better than a mail ballot if you add enough checks to verify identity.

Is There a Higher Conscious

by LetTheTruthBeKnown in

most of the individuals here from what i have read have gravitated to believing in evolution for various reasons and no longer have a belief in a creator.. the questions begs though, is there a higher conscious in the universe than mankind's.

i am sure everyone agrees that animals are conscious, but to what extent can they reason?.

here is the link to dr. rupert sheldrake's - is the sun conscious.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfhsobpja8a.

and btw, i dislike Trump but honestly, I've been paying attention to the messaging from Biden's campaign and his platform is basically about how Trump is bad. Every tweet, every message, post etc.

How about telling us what HE is going to do? His plan, etc. I think that all the voters at this point have no idea what his plan is except him basically saying "Hey at least I'm not Trump"

Could it be that Biden doesn't want to voters to know? I mean looking at his tax plan it's no wonder he wants to keep it out of sight.

The murder rate is up by double digits in more than 50% of the largest cities. Portland has been burning for 100 days straight. The media is trying to blame Trump because it supposedly happened "on his watch"

I think if Biden wins this sets up a pretty bad precedent. It means that if a portion of the country does not like the current president, they can just go around rioting and looting in order to scare the voters into voting the way they want.

The Dem party needs to be sent a message that this should not be the way to win an election.

I just hope the American people vote in a President that isn't constantly in the news for saying or doing something stupid, unscrupulous and socially immoral.

I don't disagree. But at the end of the day, voting has to be more than personality. What good is it if we elect a POTUS that is polished and measured in his words, if he is pushing policies that are hurtful to all of us?

I'm just trying to put things in perspective. The stupidity of Trump will likely hurt me less that actual policies which have real impact.

I haven't been on this site in a long time. I am sorry to see so many ex Jw's as Trumptards.

To the extent that someone supports Trump because of a cult-like adherence to a political ideology and party, I would agree. But there are also many of us, who are at this point carefully considering that it means for either side to win. I voted for Hillary in 2016 even if holding my nose.

Things are different now. If Trump wins, in 4 years, we'll likely be ok. The economy will be strong, jobs will be plenty, law enforcement won't be defunded, communists won't get both feet in the door of government (they already have one), taxes won't be raised across the board for everybody (look at Biden's tax plan). Yes, we'll have to put up with the tweets, and the buffoonery of Trump, and how he says the wrong things all the time, and the lies about trivial things. But clearly, that cannot be the only criteria by which we vote.

You really want to base your vote on personality traits? I'm focused on things that REALLY affect me: Safety and security, taxes I pay, investment returns, the idea of taking care of our problems first, having a measure of control on immigration, etc etc.

Each voter should he asking himself a few questions:

- Do you want to pay more taxes across the board, including double taxes on your investment returns?

- Do you want a POTUS that supports defunding the police and is surrounded by radicals who insist this must be done?

- Do you want to reward a political party that is trying to coerce voters into voting for them under penalty of mob violence in the streets?

- Do you want to encourage illegal immigration vs actual legal immigration? And on this note, do you want to pay more taxes to give people who have just crossed a border to have free healthcare and education?

- Do you want a POTUS that rubs elbow with people that think America is evil and needs to be destroyed?

- Do you want a POTUS that coddles communists and gives them a platform?

Food for thought.
