RonD1120 58 #127 May 9, 2018 wmw999Ron, as long as you define “wrong” as “whatever Obama did or Democrats like,” without considering the actual impact of what was done, you’re going to sound like a mindless shill for right-wing radio. There are other posters who appear to be quite conservative as well, who don’t mindlessly parrot the “If Obama breathes then breathing is bad” trope. Wendy P. And yes, I know that as a liberal, anything I say or do is suspect, or simply worth rejecting out of hand. Tough shit. I live in the mountains and come here for conversation. I don't really have anything to prove. It is all in God's hands and His will be done. I share my opinions.Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

Let me state yet again, I was/am referring to socialism, the milder version of communism. I do not want to see the U.S. go in that direction.

You say something stupid (like Trump didn't lie about paying Cohen to pay Daniels) then when you're asked to support the statement you switch to saying it doesn't matter, it's not important.

Oh yeah, except for the socialist things you benefit from. QuoteI am not concerned with President Trump's sexcapades and their aftermath. You were concerned enough to jump into the conversation to state that Trump had been shown to be telling the truth. Why did you bother doing that if you thought none of it mattered?

At this time I am concentrating on spiritual development and levels of consciousness. I am working on a paper for one of our pastors. It is a type of psycho-spiritual model for teaching and counseling. I do not consider evangelism as my primary office. I do consider the Grahams in that regard. It is related but not my field.Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

IMO Ron's ideological stance is fairly established although it may seem confusing. Think a Swiss model of limited international engagement and set of interests. A Christian set of ideals towards others he has direct interactions with. For others, its up to them to look after themselves. A personal choice of residence allows an almost complete restriction on outsiders intrusive ideals. Or interference with his life choices. Feel free to correct me If I'm mistaken.
