Norman Rockwell's America is on life support ...

You mountain folk sure have a quaint way of looking at things. And I'll stack my history of posts here upholding basic norms of Christian decency against yours anytime, Sam.

One can stack what one thinks, that is one's prerogative. There are those who practice the religion of Atheism who can quote Holy Scripture much better then I and this serves them no purpose. One can read/quote Holy Scripture and still not feel the soul filling message that the Holy Spirt fills with one self. Without the belief of Holy Salvation, Togor message is as discarded straw...brittle and dry.

Don't fall for the trap, he's a good Christian ya' know. He's even playing the victim now.

Yeah, all part of the knee-jerk reaction to the debacle in Helsinki. A fresh crop of whadabouts is already being rolled out.

The only "victim" are who? I am a Believer therefore I already have hope and Salvation not empty feeling. Non-Believers swag about thumping their chest and proclaiming self to offset their inner doubt. Feeding their emptiness with whatever the desire is, still the emptiness won't be filled, won't go away no matter what is tried. The more the chest is thumped with all belief and being, the more hollow the sound.

No one cares.

No one cares.

Wrong, the only one who doesn't care is you and the devils minions. What are you afraid of?

Good question, I'm not afraid of anything really. Its not my first lifetime, it probably wont be my last. The need to fill a hole is what gives you strength, so believe what you want.

Have a little courtesy and keep your own counsel, because no one cares more about what you think, than you.

Not afraid? Only a liar or a fool is not afraid of something. As to caring, yes I care about you very much.

That's appreciated, Thanks.

I'm still glad DT brought up Rockwell. It gets at a very real nostalgia angle that motivates a lot of people. As far as I know I'm the first person to say this, so you can quote me on it:

People draw comfort from the past because they know how it ends.

Nostalgia fuels a lot of Trump supporters. And pretty soon it's going to fuel everyone else, from the looks of it.

You're welcome.

Absurd--their comfort derives from their remembrance of something BETTER. Of course, I'm referring to normal Americans, not sexual deviants, foreign invaders, ragheads, dopeheads, similar scum.

Different times and standards. Not sure what Rockwell would be painting today but I would say his scouting paintings would reflect the currents standards of our times.

I long to have the standards of my youth but times change as they always have.
