Joe Biden and the Struggle for America’s Soul

The soul is the name we can give to that part of our consciousness where moral life takes place. Most people yearn to lead good lives. When they act with a spirit of cooperation, their souls sing and they are happy. On the other hand, when they feel their lives have no moral purpose, they experience a sickness of the soul — a sense of lostness, pain and self-contempt.

One of the hardest, soul-wearying parts of living through the Trump presidency was that we had to endure a steady downpour of lies, transgressions and demoralizing behavior. We were all corroded by it. That era was a reminder that the soul of a person and the soul of a nation are always in flux.

"The contest between Biden and Trumpism is less Democrat versus Republican or liberal versus conservative than it is between an essentially moral vision and an essentially amoral one, a contest between decency and its opposite."
 
"What is a soul? Well, religious people have one answer to that question. But Biden is not using the word in a religious sense, but in a secular one. He is saying that people and nations have a moral essence, a soul.

Whether you believe in God or don’t believe in God is not my department. But I do ask you to believe that every person you meet has this moral essence, this quality of soul."

I see. You are an asshole troll out to ruin a legitimate thread.

Offering a realistic view of China's #1 US investment is a legitimate response to your sappy OP.


Brandon get around to holding his employers accountable for the pandemic they created and released yet? Didn't think so, as it was done with full cooperation of the Coronacrats.
 
Biden supports abortion up to the point of birth (aka:"murder"); tell us all about his soulsick version of the soul of the nation.
