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.

Absolutely

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.
November 21, 2024 at 3:29 AM
Im sure it will be very easy for you to explain
November 21, 2024 at 3:27 AM
I understand the context. I simply think it’s catastrophizing.
November 21, 2024 at 3:27 AM
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.
November 21, 2024 at 3:21 AM
I am too
November 21, 2024 at 3:20 AM
Much of our defense spending goes toward maintaining our posture in places like the indo pacific and Europe.
November 21, 2024 at 3:19 AM
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.
November 21, 2024 at 3:18 AM
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.

And what examples would you attribute to these
November 21, 2024 at 3:11 AM
How is it different from ethical beliefs derived from secular philosophies
November 21, 2024 at 3:09 AM
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.
November 21, 2024 at 3:08 AM
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.

Kind of like how this article is a literal meme
November 21, 2024 at 2:57 AM
This is what they call a false equivalence
