    Is that what you socialists call Stalin's religious purge? enlightenment?

    Or China's Muslim re education camps?

    And do tell, what will you White Libs do with Black Christians?

    Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.

    D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.

    And Hispanic Christians lol.

    They need rid of Christianity. I think that’s been tried a time or two. It didn’t end well.

    Funny, how that works.

    That is the problem. You cannot unify a nation if a large minority does not even want a democracy.
    Do you really think that's the problem or are you just being pithy? I believe that most Americans wholeheartedly believe in democracy. I also believe that the two-party system has been manipulated to catastrophe. Money controls politicians. Politicians care more about reelection than policy improvements. The system is broken, but I still have hope in the American population (minus the Trumpists).

    I have been called your sock a couple of times. This is the first time I have seen you (I think), so I thought I should say hello.

    That's silly. Fundamentalist religion will persevere for many more centuries. It's the only way stupid people can survive in the real world.

    From 1932 to 1937 Joseph Stalin declared the 'five-year plans of atheism' and the LMG was charged with completely eliminating all religious expression in the country. Many of these same methods and terror tactics were also imposed against others that the regime considered to be its ideological enemies.

    We don’t have a democracy. We have a constitution and a constitutional republic and some democratic institutions and processes.

    Too many progressives look at the constitution as an impediment. They’re always looking for ways to finagle their way around it or turn it into a ‘living document’.

    oh, let me guess......only YOU can define the real definition of democracy...........and what it means to be unified...........am I right?
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.
