I do not know if you can be a follower of Jesus and a hater at the same time, at least not in the Bible I read. The bigotry and xenophobia that this blog's commenters espouse any more is worsening.
While I obviously don't speak for this blog, I assure you that I, personally, don't hate anybody or anything.
Ben, on the other hand, equates rational criticism with hate. When I criticize the actions of Trump or the USA, he does not comprehend, assess and counter with rational response. Instead, out of seemingly intellectual laziness or deficiency, he simply lashes out dismissing it as "hate."
I am tired of the negative nature of just about everything for a few people on the blog. You know who I am referring to! No matter who is around making things happen, they are against them. Trump, Musk, Bibi, Obama, Biden, whoever. I am speaking for Ben, I know, and will let him address his own feelings. But I believe it is what he is feeling.
As for me, I am a Trumper and a Musk believer from word. тАЬGoтАЭ. They have been there for going on four weeks and the JHK Bad Boys are condemning them already as unintelligent, and horrible. I laugh at most of these posts, mostly because of their ignorance of what is going on. They, you included, want instant answers to problems that have been accumulating for generations. DevilтАЩs advocates, I recognize the type, because I used to be one, big time. No matter what, it is wrong.
I read your posts closely as you give a Canadian point of view to things. I think I quizzed you if you are OG. I enjoyed debating with him, also a Canadian. For Canada. I believe the world is changing so fast right now with China contesting the USA everywhere. I believe Trump is actually trying to do something about the loss in power of the West that Biden and Trudeau signed up to. Trump knows that military war is obsolete, Ukraine proves that, and that economic pressure, trade, is going to win the future. I believe that he understands that global warming is real, but thinks it is a positive thing, freeing up the North for human development. The Northwest Passage, will control half of the worldтАЩs trade if Canada becomes ice free. Canada will become the new тАЬGreat PlainsтАЭ of agriculture along with Siberia. Trump wants the North American Continent to be a bulwark against BRICS+ economically and wants the Passage to be under its control. Leftist, loony advocates in all places are still blocking his ideas. I believe the average Joe or Jose in North America will be much better and retain more local control with the Trumpian ideas than fighting each other economically. Signing up to China as the West Coast of China, the USA and Mexico have done is fatal to the USA. Trump will not sign up to this as Biden, Trudeau and the Mexicans have just laid down for. Life is fixing to become very interesting.
The latest? Gaza and Trump. The man wants to not feed the on-going fiasco with just letting the bums on both sides re-arm themselves and continue the stupidity funded by Iran. (I wonder where Iran got that money, by the way, answer Us, the Left that is.). Trump knows that the way to keep those idiots from just resuming the fiasco is to put them to work, bettering their situation. As the Fourth Turning states, it takes multiple generations to change a society, so TrumpтАЩs idea is just a start. At least it is a start. Think about it a little different, will it cost more in the long run to keep sending $ to Israel and support military presence in Iraq and Syria to keep them separated, or to develop Gaza and deny the Iranian proxy the cover for their shenanigans? I believe the latter is in our best interests.
Thank you for your thorough response, John. This is what I am here for! While we do not agree on all issues, you intelligently make your case after respectfully considering mine. When we disagree, you are a worthy advisory.
Hey thanks. I will never think I know the answers to much of anything, but I have fairly positive views of what i think Trump et al are up to. I do believe that Canada will be much better off in the future allied with the USA (and Greenland). Geo-politics are going to become localized as the cost of shipping and handling skyrockets. I really believe in the need to adapt to a warming planet, rather than thinking that anything we do can stop or reverse it. You folks in Canada are the future for the Western Hemisphere and Trump wants you on his team. Europe is so pass├й. The localization of economics will force them to cave to Russia down the road as Ukraine get forgotten about by the NATO and EU boys and girls. Canada is going to get nothing from Europe as Ontario believes, and will be much better off as a part of a new North America.
BTW, have you seen the projections of the split of North America into three countries along modern economic and political differences. In short, the West Coast of both countries are one, the centers of both countries are two and the Northeast of the USa will combine with Eastern Canada for three. The current separation is based on 300 year old wars and the friction between Britain and the USA. If England follows the rest of Europe into alliance with the R in BRICS+, Canada will lose that historic attachment. Where do you think events will be pushing you when you control half of the shipping of the world and Russia has the other half.
If you are hearing me, you will realize than the relative decline in he USA will allow Canada to progress as the worldтАЩs climate and consequent geo-politics change. Trump is being very wise, trying to hook his sinking ship onto one becoming more sea worthy in the future. Again, I ask, will Canada be better off hooked up with the USA or off by itself?
Another way to ask, would Canada be better off, sees to sea, with a Trumpian philosophy or a Trudeau philosophy? To me the future is fairly clear, economic competition between localized areas and the winners will be the ones that acknowledge that vision. I remember JHK talking about the re-emergence of the sailing ship as oil declines. That will force the localizations.
The future is not globalism, it is localization. That is why as time goes along, the globalist Progressive Left and its trail of Have-Nots are going to get left behind. Ha, it strikes me that if Space-X has its way, one of those locales could be Mars. Boy, oh boy, will shipping charges be тАЬout of this worldтАЭ.
Canadians don't see it that way at all. Generally, we despise both Trudeau and Trump. Finally get rid of the former is hardly a reason to wed the latter.
One more, Israel. The ME is going to become one of the locales. The Orthodox Jews will complain but for the area to survive the future changes, the negative Iran will be forced into compliance with the rest of the Islamic area and the Jews will be back to aligning themselves with the area it is in. Could it be that the whole area, under economic pressure, homogenizes? Like North America will, IMHO.
The words say one thing and then the words say another.
Which version of this horse's ass are we to believe?
This man speaks with a forked tongue and then behaves the fool.
What does your bible say about harsh words and arguing?
You can claim anything, but you are so far removed from being an actual "Christian" it's just embarrassing yourself now.
Further proof you are a fallen man and a liar.
May God bless you, Ben.

Most people are better than that. But not Ben.

Can you see it. 2050, a Zoom teleconference between DC, Ottawa, Jerusalem, Dubai and Barsoom, Mars.
