@ConceptualJames Kentucky has a way of producing polar opposites that travel very different paths, yet end up connected with each other. Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis were both born in KY. Wright Thompson’s take on the south and southern literature is spot ñ

"The greatest piece of American art ever made is Absalom, Absalom." Wright Thompson says: "Faulkner gets something so essentially right about the South. It's a place where the conflict that exists inside the hearts of every human being is played out on the landscape in an external way that almost never happens. The South is one of the few places in the world where the interior becomes manifestly exterior. You know how they have energy vortexes in Sedona? Likewise, the South is one of those places where the thing cracks open and the big subterranean human ideas — the conflict in the heart of every human being burst into physical action on the actual physical land. William Faulkner could see that. He had that Sixth Sense. One of the reasons that book resonates with people across generations is that he's describing something you've instinctually felt but never had the vocabulary to describe."

This year, friends, is the 90th year since the publication of William Faulkner's Absalom, Absalom!

@ChrisMoore15915 @TVNewsNow Also seems like a bad drone attack could easily do more than $2M in damage. There’s a reason why no one wants to insure boats going through there right now lol.
English
@TVNewsNow I feel like it would cost significantly more than $2M a vessel for the US to escort each ship through.
English
🚨 NEW: Fox’s Marc Thiessen has a GENIUS PLAN to fund the re-opening of the Strait of Hormuz: “I think what President Trump ought to do is have a Hormuz Transit Tariff.”
“Instead of Iran charging $2M per vessel going through the Strait, the U.S. will charge a $2M escort fee for every vessel — which is about $9B a month or $100B in revenue.”
“We will waive that fee for any country that participates in the coalition to open up the Strait.”
“That will open it and reward the good guys that are helping us and punish those staying on the sidelines,” @marcthiessen tells @BretBaier.

The party that could not win a presidential election, lost the Senate, lost the House, and cannot agree on a leader has apparently found the organizational capacity to plan a multi year political imprisonment operation. The same people who forgot to campaign in Wisconsin are now running a shadow justice conspiracy. Remarkable turnaround.
English
Democrats are planning "Project 2029," a plan to jail Trump, his family, and members of the current Trump administration.
English
@The_Real_Fly If any of them were behind those big market plays right before Trump made announcements the last couple weeks, they’re probably going to jail. That definitely looks like insider trading and needs to be investigated.

@FiddlerNapoleon @JSlaughterEsq “state enforce some bizzare social engineering regime at gunpoint to enforce integration”
No. The state enforcing segregation at gun point( & attack dogs, high-pressure fire hoses, lynching) was definitely the right wing position.
The guys with the dogs here were not leftists
English
@FiddlerNapoleon @JSlaughterEsq Fair points. But the GD would definitely have been on the left in their day. In the 60s people that didn’t support the Vietnam war or segregation were left wing. I’m making assumptions so correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure the GD were not prowar or segregation.
English
Being a fan of the Dave Matthews Band, Grateful Dead, and Bob Dylan as a traditionalist/right winger feels like cultural imposter syndrome.
English
@Startup_CFO_ And you better watch yourself. You’re throwing a lot of anti-Semitic dog whistles out there (though you appear to be too chickenshit to say what you mean), if the zionists Christians end up being the ones that take over, you’ll end up on the end of a rope.
English
@Startup_CFO_ Europe suffered under wars between different factions of Christians for hundreds of years. It gets hard to keep straight what Christian was killing other Christians when. There’s just so much.
English
"I ain't reading all that."
What's wrong with America.
This is why the nuttiest of the nutty have power in our country. The population has been so dumbed down, they can only read short "tweets".
Leviathan@leviathanww
@Startup_CFO_ @contramordor I ain’t reading all that. Live however you want to live. There’s fundamentalist Christian communities in the US right now you could go be a part of. Go spread the good word and win converts. No one’s stopping you. But you can’t, and won’t, force theocracy on America.
English
@Startup_CFO_ you’re just a douchebag that people want to dissociate from.
English
@Startup_CFO_ The reason people are turning away from church is because of that attitude right there. There’s literally people that will never know the love of Christ because you people are such assholes that nobody wants to be around. You’re not a victim of the “Epstein-Rothschild class”…
English
I am not advocating for a "theocracy" (which doesn't exist anywhere on earth). I am advocating for a constitutional republic (very similar to what our founders founded), under the Rule of Law, with the Rule of Law referring to God's Moral Law (summarized in the Ten Commandments).
I am advocating for a state religion, Christianity, but I am not advocating for a state church. The church and the state have different, complimentary, roles. Neither should control the other. But both should be controlled by the Rule of Law (God's Moral Law).
There should be room for different denominations and differences of matters of conviction. But there should be limits to such freedom. There should be guardrails to keep all the churches within Biblical Christianity. (To put a finer point on it, lunatics like Paula White and Greg Locke should be disallowed.)
Leviathan@leviathanww
@Startup_CFO_ I’m curious, if you got your wish and established a theocracy in the US, who would be in charge? Christians or Catholics? Zionists or anti-semites? There will inevitably be power struggles between Christian factions. How will those be resolved?
English
@Startup_CFO_ jesus Fucking christ you’re insufferable. I will say whatever the fuck I want to say god damn it and there’s nothing you’re going to do to stop it.
English
Freedom of speech is a relative right - not an absolute one.
No human has a right, for example, to take the LORD's Name in vain.
Likewise, no human has a right to bear false testimony against another human.
Leviathan@leviathanww
@Startup_CFO_ Our rights do come from God. And it is functionally impossible to enforce a state religion w/o trampling the God-given rights of free speech/assembly/association, etc.
English
@Startup_CFO_ So if a store is open on your “day of worship” what happens? You say it should be illegal. That would mean there would be some kind of consequence if the law is broken. That’s coercive and a clear violation of that business’s rights.
English
@leviathanww No, not at all. That's a strawman. I never said that.
Enforcement of external, not internal, compliance with God's moral law is all that the state can do; and that is the responsibility of the state to do.
English
@Startup_CFO_ Bullshit. I’m a heathen. I watch all kinds of debauchery. Never claimed otherwise.
English
@leviathanww How silly. I never watched that TV show - don't even know what it is - because I don't watch TV. You're telling on yourself - not me.
English
Human rights come from God alone. And human rights, from God, also come with human obligations and duties to God.
Idolatry is not a human right. It's a human wrong.
If you don't see your obligation to God, you really have no basic understanding of what human rights are. They do not come from man, but from God alone.
Leviathan@leviathanww
@Startup_CFO_ “False religions would be illegal.“ I’m not engaging with shit because that statement in your OP shows a fundamental disregard for human rights. If you don’t respect freedom of religion, you won’t respect other human rights. You’re making distinctions w/o a difference

@clharrington024 Most places it is an elective. Only really a requirement for College Prep diplomas.
English
Since this post has caught interest, let me add….
Foreign language in high school is for the majority of students an epic waste of time because there is not much learning that actually occurs.
Students spend 600-700 hours in a foreign language class. Is the return on that time high enough to justify requiring the class for most students?Or, could that time be better spent elsewhere?
Keep foreign language as an elective option. Get rid of the requirement.
Christine@clharrington024
Absolutely!!! Why are we STILL requiring students to take foreign language in high school when there is virtually no benefit. Do high schoolers become fluent in the foreign language? No. Does it have a high ROI on cognitive development and brain health? Also no. Students’ brains would benefit more from 60 minutes of aerobic exercise than from sitting in a foreign language class. Also, we all have translators in our pockets. This is one of the many requirements in education whose time has expired. Public ed must stop wasting students’ time.
English
@FiddlerNapoleon @JSlaughterEsq The same GD that was the house band for Kesey’s Electric Kool-Aid Acid tests in Haight-Ashbury in the 60s? This ain’t my dad’s right wing, I guess.
English
@JSlaughterEsq First of all, that you thought “Dave Matthews Band” belongs in the same league as those other two makes your opinion invalid.
Secondly, BD and GD are obviously right wing.
English
@Startup_CFO_ The Church of England at the time would say they were fighting back against the corruption of Cromwell’s Puritans. Religious rule is an always revolving wheel of corruption and debasement. Best to keep gov’t and religion entirely separate. When mixed, you just get politics.
English
@leviathanww What our founding fathers specifically fled was King George and the corrupt Church of England that he controlled and which was much too much like the Church of Rome. Specificity is important.
English
@Startup_CFO_ You don’t get to decide what the right religion is for anybody but yourself.
English
@leviathanww Currently, the U.S. is ruled by the religion of Rothschild-Epstein - "stand with Israel."
There will always be religion. Need to choose the right one.
