Along with eugenenics advocate Donald Trump, as quoted in Minnesota

Quote

"You have good genes, you know that, right?" Trump told a mostly white crowd of supporters in Bemidji, Minn., on Sept. 18. "You have good genes. A lot of it is about the genes, isn't it? Don't you believe? The racehorse theory. You think we're so different? You have good genes in Minnesota."

I mean that is why Brent won't vote for Trump, he is a lefty like Pol Pot.

You forgot eugenics, forced sterilization, involuntary euthanasia and partial birth abortions and some left wing superstars: Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot and our very own Woodrow Wilson and Margaret Sanger.

So you have never seen an example of what you have based your argument on.

Sad!  Perhaps get sources of information other than FOX News.  Or (and this is extreme) perhaps just go out and talk to some of the people you hate.  You might learn something.

He'll vote for Trump for the money, as others here will for the unborn children, and swear from the rooftops that he wrote in Howdy Doody.

Brent is OK with THAT kind of eugenics.  The reasonable, white-people-are-better-than-black-people sort.  Not that racist Jews-are-inferior sort.

Is Ron Popeil their patron saint?

While he didn't make 'durable goods' type appliances, his stuff was pretty miraculous*

 

*Miraculous in both the claims of what it could do and the fact that it would be a miracle if any of those claims actually came to pass.

What do you think I meant when I said “the problem with progressivism is too much is never enough”

Prevalence-induced concept change:

"We solved the problem! Now let’s unsolve it. . .

By several measures, including rates of poverty and violence, progress is an international reality. Why, then, do so many of us believe otherwise?

The answer, Harvard researcher Daniel Gilbert says, may lie in “prevalence-induced concept change.”

. . .as the prevalence of a problem is reduced, humans are inclined to redefine the problem. As a problem becomes smaller, conceptualizations of the problem expand, which can lead to progress being discounted.

“When problems become rare, we count more things as problems. Our studies suggest that when the world gets better, we become harsher critics of it, and this can cause us to mistakenly conclude that it hasn’t actually gotten better at all.

that when the “signal” a person is searching for becomes rare, the person naturally responds by broadening his or her definition of the signal—and therefore continues to find it even when it is not there. From low-level perception of color to higher-level judgments of ethics, there is a robust tendency for perceptual and judgmental standards to “creep” when they ought not to.

There is forward motion and there is backward motion. What there is not is standing still. That is the nature of progress. Without progress there is only regression.

How do you square this with your Christian beliefs?

Same question. Coreece, this is the essence of primal belief systems of which Christianity, your personal belief system, is dominant locally. All of us, me included, experience the numinous and the transcendent in our lives. I think that's normal. But the finding of what is not there thing is where we diverge. Do you believe what you just posted or not?

This is the party of DeSantis - a man who introduced a tax incentive to persuade people to buy gas stoves… because they are more dangerous than the alternative.

Careful now. Sounds like you’re just trying to tear the guy down without committing to any opinion of your own. That would be bad, wouldn’t it?
