Dr Adams is always a good read
I pay my light bill, cablebill, and phone bill for my smartphone on line via electronic fund transfer from my checking account. The only thing I pay in person is my water bill which I either pay in cash, check or my card.
cont.
Because the water department is not far from my house
I do but it’s like spitting in the wind.
The other side knows how and where to pressure. Plus they have all the propaganda organs to greatly amplify their pressure.
Why are they so much more successful than us? Because they are much more motivated to their cause than we are to ours. It’s really that simple.
I left Wells Faggo many years ago for similar activism (started with BSA over a decade ago) and just recent dropped my long-time GayPal account. It was fun letting them know why.
There is a lot more dumping we need to do, if we'd get off our lazy behinds.
You may want to recheck your history. The problem started when Clinton and Reno threatened to prosecute banks for refusing loans to deadbeats. GWB tried to stop it and was rebuffed by Barney Frank and Congress.
Bingo. Conservatives have such potential marketplace and political power, they could shut down the economy and have these corporations eating from our hands if we really wanted to push that power. But we're incorrigibly lazy, comfortable and cowardly.
I believe conservatives are every bit as motivated to protect their values as liberals are to destroy them. But it's always easier to tear down than to build up.
Conservatives have jobs and commitments. They can't be out standing on street corners promoting their causes 24 X 7. Liberals are unemployable douchebags who will gladly sacrifice their minimum-wage jobs to attend a perv rally.
Conservatives also have an aversion to getting arrested. And they tend to live and let live, whereas libs are determined to force their agenda upon everyone, even if it means using force. At heart, they're all just petty tyrants.
And finally, libs recognize no rules. Anything they have to do to advance their agenda is acceptable. Conservatives have principles that transcend any pedestrian need to win. Libs know that and exploit the morality of our side to their advantage.
So no, it's not that we're not motivated. It's that we're crippled by the very values we cherish.
Have you been looking for alternatives to PayPal? I’ve done some e-com business through PP, but before scaling it up, I would like to move to a different platform.
Being a Realtor during the run up, during the real estate crash and now in the recovery, 16 years full time, the bureaucrats and their fricking regulations demanding everyone has a right to a house, crashed the country.
Once again unintended consequences. When will they ever learn, some people just should not have a mortgage. You should see the houses these "renters" turned homeowner looked like when they were done with them, rode hard and put away wet x10!!!
If you thirst for truth, you won’t accuse someone of blaming something on GWB if in fact they don’t.
I don’t damn like you damn, therefore you damn me?
You call that Christian?
This wasn’t Fargo defrauding anyone except Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. To issue a loan too easily defrauds nobody else.
Maybe your values are not tied to God, if you are “crippled” by them. This is the difference between evangelism and being nice.
Thank you for making my point.
You’ve identified some of the reasons (excuses) that we use to not defend what we believe in.
The other side doesn’t mind getting arrested, breaking the law skipping work for their cause.
We are simply not bothered enough surrendering to the other side to fight as hard as they do. Considering how much we outnumber them, it would take a lot less effort than they put up.
But we don’t because we’re don’t hold our values as dearly as they do theirs.
You are certainly crippled in the fight with any enemy if you can’t kill those who are trying to kill you. To the degree Christian morality prohibits conservatives from fighting back using the same techniques liberals use, liberals are hamstringing us.
That almost makes it sounds like it’s better to be a liberal, there isn’t this pesky moral God to bother with.
“You call that Christian?”
Yes, it is what it is HiTechRedNeck...I don’t make reality, I just follow God and the reality He created. I don’t dislike you at all...sorry if I came across that way.
What comes out of Satan’s mouth comes out of Satan’s mouth but you jolly well don’t have to parrot it, and then you call it Christian on top of everything else?
