He's definitely the goods!
I emailed Kudlow to have him on more - to stomp that evil little bastard Krugman clone Reich with.
Steve Moore is too gentlemanly to do it, but Williams pulls no punches, which I greatly prefer!
Thanks. I always cringe at the term "social justice," especially when used by other Christians. Ick!
"Just what do Freepers think of Barry Goldwater today, do they even know enough about his message?"
I can only speak for myself. Senator Goldwater was a Patriot, a visionary, and his Presidential bid was well before it's time. His influence has proven lasting. He is the father of contemporary conservative political philosophy in the U.S., whether we choose to recognize him as such or not.
Senator Goldwater was also a real curmudgeon.
He's on my short list of great contemporary political leaders.
I've been saying that for years: call 'im what they REALLY are.
"It would seem you have something by way of 'strategy' to offer but for some strange reason have not shared it with us."
I do. One reason why I refrain from discussing my ideas about politics these days isn't so strange: I think conservatives are in denial. Things can't change and won't change until there's acknowledgement that there's a problem.
We'll see what happens this next election. Perhaps it will serve as a wake-up call to conservatives. But I doubt it.
For me to espouse ideas where they're not welcome is a waste of my time. Worse, my doing so just tends to get people agitated. I see no reason for it. Unfortunately, from time to time I forget that people don't really want to solve problems. They want to blame a convenient bogeyman and have others congratulate them on their analytical prowess.
I was pinged in on a morals pinglist and I made my point. In retrospect, I should have refrained and I didn't. My bad.
Time to go back to the religious threads. Thanks for the ping.
You've roused my curiosity. Please your share your solutions. My belief is that we---as a nation--need to retrace our steps and find our way back to the Christian-Judeo moral principles and precepts of the America of our founding.
Is this possible? I don't know. Perhaps we've fallen so far we'll never recover our former position.
"My belief is that we---as a nation--need to retrace our steps and find our way back to the Christian-Judeo moral principles and precepts of the America of our founding."
Amen, amen, amen.
"Is this possible? I don't know. Perhaps we've fallen so far we'll never recover our former position."
I don't know, either.
"You've roused my curiosity. Please your share your solutions."
You remind me of another FReeper. I've been challenged by a couple of folks to not hold my cards so close to my chest. And I'm thinking about being a little more forthcoming.
These threads are just not a very good place to engage in reasoned debate. Particularly on hot button topics like immigration and abortion. These are serious topics where new ideas and ways of thinking are needed, but from my perspective it just isn't worth the abuse I have to endure to discuss it.
Perhaps in a more private forum amongst certain FReepers. Lemme think about it.
