"What Man learns from history is that Man learns nothing from history." - Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel

You can be a well informed centrist and still have compassion.
I don't care what side of the aisle you stand on, if you're not frustrated with political violence at this point you don't understand what it means to live in a free country.

I disagree with most things Kirk says, but I would never wish him harm or death.

DO NOT VILLAINIZE THE OPPOSITION.

UNIFY. BECOME INFORMED. EXPERIENCE OTHER CULTURES.

WE ARE ALL HUMANS, WE ARE ALL AMERICANS.

THE AMERICAN DREAM IS TO COME HERE FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY AND MAKE A BETTER LIFE.

BE BETTER.

I am so deeply ashamed of the human race, particularly the ones who think it’s funny to pick on the vulnerable.

I was raised Catholic and strayed away from the faith because of my personal misgivings with the message of the church and the way "Followers of Christ" behave in our society.

Lord, are these your chosen people? He who prays only for those that look like him, act like him, believe like him?

As the S&P closed 120 points down today, we remember that the man convicted for falsification of business documents is the one running the country.

I am not a financial advisor, but I may invest during these dips. If they're going to profit on insider trading, I might as well try.

It's actually baffling that flagrant white supremacy is okay again. This happened both times the current President was elected, and people still don't understand what his true ideology is.

It honestly makes me sad that people think asking an AI is "research."

While yes, the Visigoths did eventually convert to Christianity after the East-West split of the Imperial Rome, for centuries the people in Iberia were Canaanite-derived polytheistic Carthaginians, then Hellenistic Romans.

I think a lot of people on both sides of the political spectrum forget that "Western" society got a new definition when the US was founded.

The United States was not a Christian nation. It was purposely built to be secular, and the Founding Fathers were all fleeing religious persecution in Britain.
