We are derps to believe truth and dont research what the messenger says is truth.
Don’t worry, haffast, I won’t make a hero out of this guy. I don’t give two effs about him.
It’s the words that matter. No research required, which is my point.
Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.
Can you find anything false in that statement?
I can’t.

p.s. The derps think we are evil. I think they are evil. Only one of us is right.

Bagster, in 2012 I did deep dig on communist influences on the churches in America. Here is just a few sentences from that regarding Bonhoeffer:
Abyssinian Baptist Church - New York
Adam Clayton Powell, Sr. - preached the Gospel of **Social Justice** as pastor of Abyssinian Baptist Church
Bonhoeffer in Harlem - “Deeply interested in **ecumenism**, he was appointed by the World Alliance for Promoting International Friendship through the Churches (a forerunner of the **World Council of Churches**) as one of its three European youth secretaries. “
“Rejecting the objective unalterable moral standards of the Bible, Bonhoeffer proclaimed a situational ethics — that right and wrong are determined solely by the “loving obligations of the moment” “
Bonhoeffer was a professor at UTS and attended Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem and taught Sunday school there.
Today he would play for the Ecumenical Social Justice Warriors, Socialist NWO team and be diametrically opposed to you and your interpretation of the very words he penned.
I don’t intend to argue semantics with you on that quote, on the face I agree, I’m trying to point out that you are appropriating the words of an anti-bagster.
It’s your choice. Carry on.

There’s supposed to be a light behind that and you wiggle the nose.
I was futzing around and found this. There’s a lot of good linked material in this.

“Each piece of evidence that proves the United Kingdom has ruled over the United States FOR QUITE A LONG TIME is so compelling and conclusive as to be self-evident.”
-SB
That’s one of my favorites!
Wish we had it in a better size/resolution.
Thanks for posting it!
All in all, personally I'm thinking that it's not Gloria Vanderbilt and not Anderson who was mentioned in the previous comments. That's just me.
“””I have read only superficially about Bonhoeffer, so am admittedly ignorant about him other than the basic bio and this particular quote. thanks for the Metaxas name.”””
I found some notes on Metaxas from a dig I did in 2012, so the links may not be working, and keep in mind the context of the year 2012:
Metaxas, Colson, Bonhoeffer, Becket and Socrates
About Eric Metaxas
“Eric Metaxas is a Christian author residing in Manhattan. His best-selling biographies Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy and Amazing Grace: William Wilberforce and the Heroic Campaign to end Slavery, have made him a sought-after speaker. He was the keynote speaker at the 2012 National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C., an event attended by the President and First Lady and other U.S. and world leaders.
“He is founder of Socrates in the City and co-host of BreakPoint, a daily radio commentary launched by Erics mentor Chuck Colson and heard on 1,400 radio outlets nationally.”
“In 2001, he was the 17th recipient of the Canterbury Medal awarded by the Becket Fund for Religious Freedom. Previous medalists include Mitt Romney, Chuck Colson, and Elie Wiesel.”
“At the invitation of Cardinal Timothy Dolan and Fr. Jonathan Morris, Eric began broadcasting Faith and Culture Minute on The Catholic Channel on Sirius XM Radio in October 2012.”
http://www.breakpoint.org/faithminute/about-eric-metaxas
Eric Metaxas
“Although popular in the United States, Bonhoeffer scholars have widely condemned Metaxas’s book as unhistorical, theologically weak, and philosophically naive. Professor of German History and Bonhoeffer scholar Richard Weikart has credited Metaxas for his “engaging writing style” in his biography, but he critically assessed its content and characterized it as an appeal to Evangelical Christians in the United States, noting Metaxas’ lack of philosophical, theological, and historical grounding to interpret Bonhoeffer properly.[4] The biography has also been criticized by Bonhoeffer scholars Victoria Barnett[5] and Clifford Green.[6]”

Eric attends Calvary/St. George’s Episcopal Church in Manhattan

Socrates in the City - by Charles Colson on January 2, 2012 - Catholic Exchange
“Wright shared his views at a New York City gathering called Socrates in the City arranged by my friend and colleague Eric Metaxas, author of the amazing biography of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Metaxas put the Socrates in the City meetings together to help sophisticated New Yorkers think about the bigger questions of life. Ive spoken there twice, and theyre great.”

The Becket Fund
“The Becket Fund has represented groups and persons from many different religious traditions in litigation, pre-litigation, and appeals, including Buddhists, Christians, Hindus, Jews, Muslims, Native Americans, Santeros, Sikhs, and Zoroastrians..”
“Another Becket Fund client is a mosque in Murfreesboro, Tennessee that was denied the right to use its building by a local court after complaints that the mosque was promoting terrorism.[4]”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beckett_Fund
The Becket Fund is the brainchild of Kevin J. Seamus Hasson.

Thomas Becket - (circa 1118 29 December 1170)
“He is venerated as a saint and martyr by both the Catholic Church and the Anglican Communion. He engaged in conflict with Henry II of England over the rights and privileges of the Church and was murdered by followers of the king in Canterbury Cathedral. Soon after his death, he was canonised by Pope Alexander III.”

Chuck Colson - (October 16, 1931 April 21, 2012) Ecumenist?? Romanist??
“Colson also credits Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s writings with influencing his life.”
http://www.rapidnet.com/~jbeard/bdm/exposes/colson/general.htm
http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/Wolves/chuck_colson-heretic.htm
Charles “Chuck” Wendell Colson
“In November 2009, Colson was a principal writer and driving force behind an ecumenical statement known as the Manhattan Declaration calling on evangelicals, Catholics and Orthodox Christians not to comply with rules and laws permitting abortion, same-sex marriage and other matters that go against their religious consciences.[48] He previously had ignited controversy within Protestant circles for his mid-90s common-ground initiative with conservative Roman Catholics Evangelicals and Catholics Together, which Colson wrote alongside prominent Roman Catholic Richard John Neuhaus. Colson was also a proponent of the Bible Literacy Project’s curriculum The Bible and Its Influence for public high school literature courses.[49]”

On the face is all that I'm talking about.
We can drag this derpy, commie scumbag into the public square and hang him, yet THOSE words ring true.
Im trying to point out that you are appropriating the words of an anti-bagster.
You have pointed it out very well, goodman, and I agree. The dude sounds like a real POS and enemy of all that is good and true.
MY point is I don't care.
The quote matters, not the man. And the quote is truth.
Martin Luther King said some truths (content of character, etc). Do I agree with everything he did or said? Nope.
Same with Nietsche. And lots of others.

Excellent meme; says it all....
Re: Anderson Cooper - in that article referenced above it sounds like they are both pretty open about her life - I’m thinking it’s not her. IF it is, I don’t think it has anything to do with Anderson. The other stuff fits - used to be well known, out of the public eye, important family, etc.etc., ? What do you think?
Question #1:
Why is the fact that Trump DID sign the letter of intent despite Guiliani saying he didn’t a good thing? Who is BUSTED in this scenario. Sounds like Guiliani to me.
~~~~~
Answer #1: I think Guiliani was featured speaking uber defensively everywhere in pics when asked about that. I thought it was odd then - he’s seasoned enough not to emote like that, especially since a letter of intent is nothing to worry about.
I think they may have arranged for some chaff to throw - Trump knew he was running for office by then. The MSM talked about/hinted about this about a year ago (no document at the time) and it never went as far as Guiliani, probably because it’s not a crime. So now they are gettin’ desperate, they interviewed Guiliani and he blinked and sweated so the MSM hauled it out, dusted it off and shouted “boom!” in unison as they threw it onto the airwaves.
~~~~~~
Question #2:
Why is this even a thing? They didn’t move forward. There is no Trump Tower/Moscow. Sooooo???? Proof of?????
~~~~~
Answer #1:
They are runnin’ low on ammo. They may dig up another bimbo at this point, and call her a “bombshell.” Proof the Deep State is recycling old ammo.
~~~~
Question #3:
How did CNN’s Chris Homo get a hold of that letter?
~~~~
Answer #3: I c wut U did there.
I believe they have had that for some time, I seem to recall the MSM talking about it earlier. I would assume Cohen got it for them or told them where to get it. This piece of paper should entertain the MSM at least until the SOTU, I should think.
“I read that she had visited Afghanistan 9 times. Didnt say why. IIRC, it was one of the articles that talked about her 2+million bucks over 2 yrs. travel expenses.”
...
Have you listened to the last two videos George Webb posted about Pelosi and Schiff ? I know that you follow him.
He believes that Pelosi and Schiff were engaged in an illicit weapons trade with Whelan and the Awans operated out of Pakistan. When Trump cancelled the trip to Afghanistan, it threw a monkey wrench into their plans.
