What we really need is a revival where people awaken to the fact that life is supposed to contain suffering and that deputizing the government to end suffering results in much worse suffering.

What is the point of this response? You know exactly what I meant. I’m not talking specifically about ‘you’, I’m referring to leftist scumbags generally. You knew that and your response is a lie where you pretend to be confused when you are not.
Nonetheless I’m sure you called him a Nazi, murderer, racist, and other things. You can lie about it if you want. We both know I’m correct and you’re lying.

See what you wrote above? Remember it?
Thus my compassionate conservative remark. It was not meant to goad you, Kevin. Relax a bit.
I thought your statement was a good one. Which was why I thought a GOP President trying to mitigate the 'suffering' would have interested you. But I guess not. You end up calling me a liar instead..
Oh good the internet cliche where you tell someone who is showing no signs of agitation to “calm down” because this makes your wife angry and you are on the internet trolling trying to make people angry but you don’t have a very sophisticated approach.
Actually I do find you calm. I just said to relax (a bit). And I think the only person I make angry here would be you. But that's ok, all of us need a role..
I like the C.G. Jung observation that those who gaze outward at the world dream. Those who gaze inward "awaken". Or, in regard to the baggage attached to the word God the old Terrance McKenna line that the force informing the fact of the universe would prefer not to be named at all.
To your point, as an old "men's movement" partisan, the lesson of Christ on the cross and the two thieves. The duty of man to hold the two opposing realities of heaven and hell "well enough" that a third reality is born inside him (-Jung's tension of the opposite's-). In modern Jordan Peterson term's "order and chaos".
But if doing good by others is the goal, and I think it is, it does no good to "awaken" unless one can then turn it outward. And by the way I mean doing good, not being a do-gooder. They are vastly different.
As they say on an airplane, put your own oxygen mask on first before you help others. Getting your own mind right is an essential part of helping others.
I agree fully. Most of them, in any event. Saying all of them without qualification is the sort of thing the worst of them do, and I don't want to be like them in any way.
I disagree. Not reflexively, but because I have thought it through.
As one obvious example, this website is run by Democrats. I don't think Bari is a psychopath, and in my view we need to be encouraging all the reflexive "liberals" to wake up and smell the coffee. That becomes less likely if we insult all of them.
My two cents. This is a small ant hill, so I won't fight over it.
I post occasionally. Following one post Bari contacted me. My thought is that she is a kind and compassionate person regardless of political thoughts. I subscribe for the honest and open dialogue The Free Press is exemplifying.

Thank you for coming to my sermon.
Kevin, I actually remember something called 'compassionate conservatism' from a few Presidents ago. I often wondered what happened to that..
You called him a racist, Nazi, murderer like you do every time. That is what happened.
I called George W. Bush a racist? When did I do that?

Absolutely. And how long it takes one to do that is necessarily varied. There have always been spiritual.hermits.

There is a difference between suffering and numbness. Tears are an end to numbness.
Speaking of numbness, I just read we are now skimping on ANESTHESIA to save the environment. Democrats are psychopaths.
It is indeed pathology.

Suggesting that I need to include 3,000 words of qualifiers in a comments section every time I generically mention ‘Democrats’ otherwise I’m

just as bad as them, actually IS the exact sort of unsophisticated manipulative bad-faith horseshit that they do.
And yes I just said “they”. FOH.

Plus in a nation so evenly decided we must be able to convert some of them to ever have a successful course correction.
Yeah smearing the other party doesn’t work……….
I guarantee Bari does not consider herself a Democrat and I don’t consider myself a Republican.
At no point am I going to abandon using shorthand on the internet because you allegedly have “thought it through”.
Laughing. You do what you want, man.

No masturbation jokes please. This is the internet, sir.
Yes and if you could, please continue pulling your mask up in between bites.
