So that kerfuffle is over. Race is back to even. False alarm. Hope Herschel and his son work it out. A father and son should not be alienated.
Warnock withstood Kelly Loeffler’s attacks in the 2020 race that tried to damage his standing with his ties to the liberation theology of his church. I disagree with those who say that Martin Luther King would be pleased with the way in which that church has evolved. The underlying theology is just another version of the creed of BLM. I think a majority of voters in Georgia would be put off with the “Howard Zinn version of US history” that underpins those perspectives. It is now propaganda more than it is theology.
Absolutely, rjnwmill, and Reagan had a daughter that was harshly opposed to his persona. It’s sad that Walker and his son were apparently very close before Walker chose to flatly deny the allegations.
Bill Clinton was one of the best arguments against relying on politicians as avatars of moral guidance. But there are thousands of politicians, literally, who have violated many fundamental notions of integrity, honesty and morality.
It is at least partially the result of the arbitrary and ancillary costs we impose on our public servants. Over time we have disincentivized our best and brightest from serving and they have been readily replaced by rascals, miscreants and criminals. Examples of the type of people being chased away would be Mitch Daniels and Colin Powell; but there are many, many more. Instead we get pols like the aforementioned Bill (and Hillary) Clinton, as well as Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi, people with no usable or admirable accomplishments in the real world and with no compunctions about manipulating political structures to enrich themselves
This is a pretty good summary of some reasons folks might vote for Walker.

So we should root for Warnock because he is a minister? Even though he will rubber stamp every Biden policy that I believe will further hobble the US?
I think Walker will support policies to expand our energy sector, re-establish border security and effect rule of law on a single standard for ALL our citizens.
I do resent Trump’s arrogance. He has an ongoing disruptive effect on political development. That was exactly his appeal at the outset. He is past his “use by” date. Biden, however, is a blowhard with a 100% failed track record. He has cosistently done wrong for America. He is arrogant w/o accomplishment.
And Walker can be dismissed because his son is alienated from him? Then BT, I presume you are favorably disposed to Trump since all of his children are so loyal to him.
I might prefer a different candidate than Walker if I lived in Georgia and knew what the alternatives were. But at this point in his life he appears to come much closer to reflecting my policy preferences than that snake Warnock.
In Trump’s final year that number was 458,088.
It is my understanding that even if these folks show up for their amnesty hearing (the waitlist is now 18 months), only about 5% are given amnesty.
Supreme Court upheld Wait in Mexico. Biden Administration fought it like crazy. When they lost, they slow walked the process and only dozens of immigrants have been put into that process each month.
Zandi is not a particularly reliable predictor. However, it’s probably a good bet that there will be a correction after the run up of the last couple of years.
Indications of the collapse of the American empire are appearing at an ever faster pace! Misguided and intellectuually dishonest.
Xi is facing existential problems in his financial sector, largely from his ignorant mismanagement. His nation is staring down the barrel of a demographic crisis unlike any that a nation has ever faced. And China’s water resources are in dire jeopardy.
Way to go Xi.
Not a coincidence that this occurred under a different Marxist, i.e., the Chicago community organizer. The ideologues in that administration also put the climate change policy far above any concerns for citizens’ economic viability. The climate activists want to force people to give up fossil fuels by driving up the costs and to create artificial demand by subsidizing renewables. It is a formula that they feel will achieve the outcome they want, but at the cost of great misery. Like every society based upon the taking of value from one group and giving that value to some other, more favored, group, the result is chaos, shortages, disruption, drastic delays and inefficiency. I can’t see how this possibly ends well since the next several generations have not been given anything close to enough guidance to understand the brilliance of the founders’ vision. To the contrary, many scoff, misguidedly thinking our constitutional republic is intrinsically evil. This is dire.
A growing problem in our society is the fevered goal of zero risk in most activities. It enables and sustains a nanny state.
“And he committed treason – publicly and indisputably.”
Indisputably? And he was convicted of this when? This is gross distortion and hyperbole. I think it can be, and has been, disputed quite successfully. Only in your narrow mind, where you can pick the priorities and pick and choose “facts” (as the Jan 6 Committee did last night) is Trump a traitor. I wish he would choose not to run and live on forever in the fevered minds of those obssessed by their hatred of him.
That was a truly phenomenal summary, rjnwmill. Truly. I would pick Reagan, though. He had the policies, the commitment and strength and he was a gracious human.
