Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill
This is a Public thread UNTIL admin makes you a moderator you really have no say on what gets posted.
Kinda like what happens in the covid thread that Slim started.

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill
Based on previous political threads you have started, that is an outright lie. It was created to praise liberalism and we aren't letting you get away with itComment

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill
isn't it amazing Slim... You and I can 'member things but the young bucks can't!?
is it because the try to deceive us?
remember what gran (full blooded Scot) told me when she caught me in my first lie. " Pip .. more more you lie, the more lies you have to tell, the less you can remember of your previous lies. "
I have kept that in my heart since then... and by mid 20's I sat back reminiscing about that fine lady .. and I was like "DAMN" I finally caught on.
She lived to 93 years before ALZ took her. I really miss her and Gramps wisdom... they had seen all the tough times. And they came through them with flying colors.Comment

Re: The Shining City Upon a Hill
On this day in 1989, President Ronald Reagan gives his Farewell Address to the Nation. In doing so, he defined his vision of “the shining city upon a hill.”[I]“n my mind it was a tall, proud city built on rocks stronger than oceans, windswept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony and peace; a city with free ports that hummed with commerce and creativity. And if there had to be city walls, the walls had doors and the doors were open to anyone with the will and the heart to get here.”
“For we must consider that we shall be as a city upon a hill. The eyes of all people are upon us. So that if we shall deal falsely with our God in this work we have undertaken, and so cause Him to withdraw His present help from us, we shall be made a story and a by-word through the world.”
Therefore, this is the ultimate aim of American exceptionalism."Oh what a tangled web we weave when we first try to deceive"

Here is the very first post. If you actually care to read it you will see it mentions Ronald Reagan, probably the most conservative President in modern history and his vision of the US.

The Justice Department has accused a Nevada man of scamming supporters of former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden out of hundreds of thousands of dollars prior to the 2020 election.
Federal prosecutors said Kyle Bell used a fake political action committee, or PAC, known as the Keep America Great Committee to appeal to unsuspecting supporters of re-election bid.
Bell, according to a DOJ criminal complaint, also scammed supporters of then-candidate BidenThe Daily BeastelectionPaycheck Protection ProgramPPPIf people aren't SMART enough to research who they donate to then I lay the blame strictly on them. Caveat emptor is Latin for "Let the buyer beware".Comment
