BROOKLYN, N.Y. (PIX11) — In response to the growing migrant crisis, the City of New York is officially commandeering popular park recreation centers. At least two have been partially taken ov…
You have to be actively seeking out negativity, because it’s nearly impossible to find unless you go looking for it.
We had an entire civil war about whether black people were actually people, and it was one of the biggest events in our nation’s history. It is far from impossible, and I don’t believe I am seeking out negativity. I think I am seeing things as accurately as I can within my limited power.
The personality type of leftists
I think everything you said here could just as easily apply to conservatives. You spend the entirety of the next two paragraphs criticizing leftists/CRT.
the word “critical” in its name indicates that it’s an evil way of thinking
Critical thinking is a good thing, not a bad one. It is what allows us to see what is wrong so we can make it better. You can’t learn from your mistakes if you think you have none.
Someone might get tarred and feathered if he deserved it, while someone else might be drawn and quartered. We burned witches at the stake.
All of which were horrifying ways to die, cruel and unusual punishments, and therefore an 8th amendment violation.
These are the principles of our nation
You keep saying that these violations of the constitution are the principles of our nation. Doesn’t that seem a little silly to you?
compassionate deportation.
Deportation of U.S. citizens is in no way compassionate.
Just as you can’t legally yell “fire” in a crowded theater (remember crowded theaters?), I see the toxic hatred for America as being principally unwelcome.
The reason you can’t legally yell “fire” is because it causes a direct and present danger because of the potential of a stampede. Hating america for what it currently is and wishing it to be better is nowhere near the same.
“if somebody hates America then we decline to offer that person any police protection for their natural rights.”
And that would make them a target for criminals, which would again be an 8th amendment violation.
There’s an abundance of evidence for it, everywhere I look. Our Creator put us here for a purpose. To ignore that fact is evil.
“Looking everywhere” is not a form of evidence.
and that’s impossible without a firm reliance on Christ.
Under your definition of what’s moral, sure that may be true, but I don’t think you hold a reasonable view of what is moral.
I don’t believe I am seeking out negativity. I think I am seeing things as accurately as I can within my limited power.
When a demon suggests a negative thought to you, do you turn to God? Or do you reject God and allow the demon’s suggestion to fester in your mind? Do you believe the demon when he claims there is no God? Do you find contentment of “seeing things as accurately as you can” when you spend time focusing on negativity?
Critical thinking is a good thing, not a bad one. It is what allows us to see what is wrong so we can make it better. You can’t learn from your mistakes if you think you have none.
I never claimed we have no mistakes. We are all sinners. That’s why we need to repent and be saved.
That has nothing to do with being critical. See Proverbs 2, which I almost want to quote in full here, but I’ll leave it at a link.
therefore an 8th amendment violation
Technically the truth. But the Bill of Rights is only intended to protect Americans. It is my contention that anyone who hates America is evidently not American.
Deportation of U.S. citizens is in no way compassionate.
Correct. But someone who hates America is not a valid citizen.
The reason you can’t legally yell “fire” is because it causes a direct and present danger because of the potential of a stampede. Hating america for what it currently is and wishing it to be better is nowhere near the same.
A hatred for America is no less of a clear and present danger. A person who hates America is deep into a terrorist mindset.
Wanting one’s country to be “better” is universally agreeable. But when it comes from a perspective of hatred, there’s no way to trust the subjective meaning of “better”.
America’s essential culture and values were cemented in 1776. The only way we can make it better is to undo all ways in which we’ve strayed from our essential culture and values.
And that would make them a target for criminals
The word “criminal” means someone who breaks the law, for example illegal immigrants. If the government were to decline to protect an individual’s rights, then it would not be a criminal act to forcefully deport said individual, say by means of a catapult.
“Looking everywhere” is not a form of evidence.
You sound like a blind fool attempting to refute the notion that anything could possibly be seen. You are surrounded by abundant evidence, but you don’t recognize it as such because you haven’t yet accepted Christ.
Under your definition of what’s moral, sure that may be true, but I don’t think you hold a reasonable view of what is moral.
I am no arbiter of morality. I look to God for His guidance. No one who rejects God could possibly know His law. It would be hubris to suppose otherwise.
