Re: Baseball Hall of Fame 2021 Vote
I'm still holding to the no clear steroid folks in the Hall. Don't like it? Tough luck, don't be a cheater. I went with: Schilling Vizquel Helton Jones That's in order of preference as well. I think Schilling and Vizquel are sure fire HOF'ers. Others on the list, sure Bonds and Clemens would be HOF...

Re: US SOCCER
Did you personally know some of those guys from that '92 team? Your propensity to prop up an admittedly scrappy but relatively underwhelming US side lacks any real logic other than trying to protect a friend or family member. JJ's right, the US is in a position they've never been in so far - they'r...

Re: Values Voters Gaining Strength
The Supreme Court has developed a body of law concerning when a fundamental right may by infringed by the government. The state may infringe on a fundamental right when it demonstrates (i) that there is a compelling governmental interest in curtailing that right; and (ii) that the state's infringem...

Re: US SOCCER
Anyone remember when US soccer was a thing? The team that the US will send to Qatar in 2022 will be the most talented side ever to represent the US in international competition. It is going to be stacked with young talent. By 2026, that talent will be mature and ready to give a tough match to any s...

2). Can the rights of the individual diminish or eliminate the rights of the many? [/quote] Yes. When the individual's right is a fundamental right (for example, free exercise of religion, conscience), that right can diminish the non-fundamental rights of the many.

Re: Values Voters Gaining Strength
Webster defines secularism as: "indifference to or rejection or exclusion of religion and religious considerations." That is the historical, philosophical, and theological understanding of the term. I know there's been a recent attempt to redefine "secularism" as per the definit...

Re: Values Voters Gaining Strength
I tend not to judge people based on the wide brush of their religious beliefs, but based on their individual actions. Me too, Gil. But many people believe we get our values through religion and we make decisions as a nation based on values. Whether it’s economic stimulus, freedom, or social distanc...

“Secular” values that is. Is this good or bad for America? Given the association between Trumpism, Covid denial, and evangelicals, I’d say it’s obviously a good thing. I would trust the values and grace of a proclaimed atheist over an evangelical these days: “On issues that the religious right has ...

Re: The Democratic Base
The difference is that the Republican base consists of the type of people who enabled Hitler and Mussolini.
And the Democratic base has actually elected the type of people who enabled Stalin and Mao.

That's essentially Trump's argument about voter fraud and a stolen election. It's totally true b/c he says so even though he's provided zero evidence to back up his claims.
