We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

        As do I. But his odds are better than you have ever admitted. Which is odd behavior for a thinly-veiled trump apologist.

          Socialism is a policy, due to a scarcity of resources and incentives, that promotes mediocrity. I would hope my grandchildren strive for excellence however they define it. Socialism will render that nearly impossible unless they migrate into the plutocracy, through marriage of course.

The problem is, every vote for him is going to look to Trump like a mandate. He's incapable of thinking anything else of himself. And he doesn't represent normal Republican ideology any better than Hillary does.
            There are very few mainstream GOP politicos who represent the core of the Reagan-Goldwater ideology.

                I just sent the Mormon CIA dude $10. I can't vote in Utah, so that's the best I can do.

                      This agenda makes me utterly depressed.

                      Nobody’s noticed, but she’s running on an ambitious plan to remake the American social compact.

                        i guess the benefit of not being smart or committed enough to releasing policy stances is that means nobody can bitch about them.

                          Trump's bumbling would depress me as well. Hillary's is my worst nightmare.

                          Everybody better get your ILIT's ready with an increase to 65% in the Estate and Gift Tax. We will be doing lots and lots of ILITs. I guess there is a silver lining.

                              Trump's final message to the voters. Pure populism. If you only read the text, you would swear it came from a Sanders speech:

                              "...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."
                              "You are an intemperate, unscientific poster who makes light of very serious matters.”

                                Yikes. So much for governing from the middle.
                                One of the grandest benefits of the enlightenment was the realization that our moral sense must be based on the welfare of living individuals, not on their immortal souls. Honest and passionate folks can strongly disagree regarding spiritual matters, so it's imperative that we not allow such considerations to infringe on the real happiness of real people.

                                I believe religion has much inherent good and has born many good fruits.
