My brother could do one of those jobs...but he lives in Texas and has a USA passport - so he doesn't qualify.
Why revenue goes downMarried A Horn said:
Yeah. He needs to cut it this time round.

Government is still a necessary evil and the larger it gets the more tyrannical & oppressive it becomes.
Yes, passionately in the middle.
Imagine going through life with no moral compass or deeply held beliefs
Just endlessly embracing a position in the middle of every issue because it seems safe and people will think you are a good person….

It was an ironic play on words - zealot for moderation.... Not everything is a dark, heavy conversation. I expect moronic interpretations out of OldBear, but you have always been better than that.

You don't pay attention to my or anyone's corrections to you, but we should yours? Typical I am seeing a lot of similarities to Trump, let's add narcissism to the list.
What is it with you and winning a debate? It is a message board about politics. a small University one at that. No one is keeping score. There are no prizes.

When you fall back on repeating false claims, FLBear, that's not a "correction", it's either intellectual laziness or deliberate lying.

I would say a moral compass has a lot to do with politics
And I think it's interesting when people look back to a very heterogeneous and harmonious time in America history (a country that was 89% White and 98% Christian and that had just won a major world war and become the greatest manufacturer on Earth) and think the leaders considered "moderate" then would not be considered "radical today"
Eisenhower was a social and fiscal conservative
He was not personally for desegregation, pushed for "In God We Trust" to be the national motto, and warned against the military-industrial complex getting us into wars overseas
I assume if he came back from the dead you would think he was a radical right winger
Your moral compass is not based on how far right you are on the political spectrum. You can be a moral liberal, moderate or conservative. Moral Compass is more about what you do.
