    I agree, maybe that is why are current presidential candadates don't look so good. They promises everything to get our vote, knowing that the public is too foolish to see a fake. Once they get into office the forget about the public anyway so why would they keep a promise to them. Seems we have lost leaders of honesty and replace them with dreamers.

    Honesty is often not elegant. Sometimes it is just an ugly, inconvenient truth and even more often lacks simplicity.

    Look what honesty gets a man like George Bush. Nothing is hated more than an honest man. We do not tolerate honesty in politics. If you actually listen you will find that many politicians promise nothing they just speak in platitudes and generalities. Your job is to fill in the blanks with things you wanted to hear and then if he was skillful enough you will believe he actually said them.

    As it is sublimely expressed in 1 Kings 19:12 -

    " After the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still
    small voice."

    The comforter, the "Spirit of truth" proceeds from the Father of all comfort. Honesty to stand with thee, Charity to walk with thee, O Lord, my granter of Liberty and Freedom for all. Offensive is the truth, when liars rule among men.

    Can mommy's little monster appreciate the elegance of a characteristic they are completely disconnected from.

    Sillik, to your question — Can mommy's little monster (a theocratic socialist) appreciate the elegance of a characteristic (the nobility of personal sovereignty / an heir to eternity or nature, inalienable rights or liberty at nature's law) they are completely disconnected from? The answer is an emphatic NO ! ! !

    Mike, Norwalk you are without a doubt mentally ill. You have no competent message exchange system. Your whole conventional arrangement holds no true value for words. You use the primitive messaging system of the hunter. You exist on the assumption that everyone is signaling for their preditory victim. I, the Social being have never signaled for any victimization. I am quite alone in this characteristic.
     -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown

    Sillik, thank you !  Coming from your personal enclave of mental delusion I accept your word salad as high praise in deed. As to, "holds no true value for words", it is not me that keeps changing the meaning of words — I continue to use words and concepts that are traditionally used and defined by legal and other dictionaries. You are a predatory victimizer when you promote such enslaving doctrines — as is identified by you misuse of the term "equal" and propagating of Marxist ideology.
     -- Mike, Norwalk

    Sillik, you know you make me smile. Your stereotypical canned / socialistic response of accusing others of that which you are guilty of (by example: "Your whole conventional arrangement holds no true value for words.") is only used by the most shallow of the mentally ill. You regularly practice one of your gods' dogmas: "A lie told often enough becomes a lie." (Lenin) Truly; The elegance of honesty needs no adornment especially, when it is so lacking in you word salads.

    Mike Norwalk, being called mentally ill by the only noncriminal mind on the planet, I personally would be concerned, but you are stark criminal and will hold fast that the criminal majority will always protect you.

    Mike, Norwalk have you ever met a Socialist? Could you name him or her?  I have only met dangerous criminal hustlers who took up the label. I am not a dangerous criminal hustler. I have authentic and sincere morals and manners.
     -- Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown

    Sillik, "WRONG ! ! !" again. Obviously an incoherent blather, especially when you don't know what criminal or noncriminal means.

    A criminal is individual who performs crimes against humanity.  Sexist, racist, violent aggressive actors against humans. They resist the simplest necessities. To simply feed, cloth, themselves is made a tremendous struggle. To sleep, go to the bathroom is confounded by these sickos. You criminals resist any education, exercise activities or any other developmental activities which a Socialist would never be complicit in involving themselves.

    Additional you criminals I notice try to reverse the situation, you use your majority to make it look as I am the criminal, the habit of lying to yourself comes in quite handy. You hate intelligent because you feel inferior to it. For example, I never heard President utter anything during his reign. I once him during his vise president to President Obama "this is a F***in bid deal."It would help if a president had some semblance of thought processes.

    Correction: Additionally you criminals I notice try to reverse the situation, you use your majority to make it look like I am the criminal, the habit of lying to yourself comes in handy. You hate the intelligent because they make you feel inferior. For example, I have never President Biden utter anything during his reign. I once heard him say to President Obama when President Biden was vise President, "this is a F***in big deal," I think it would help the world if the President had some semblance of thought processing.

    Sillik, I smile. You once again prove multiple of my points accurate. For one, you feebly attempt to redefine words to support your latest word salad. Your circle argument of criminals commiting crimes doesn’t describe anything. Your implication that a crime is an individual’s personal act against humanity (sexist, racist, violent aggression, feeding / clothing oneself or bathroom habits) is just another Lenin application (a lie told often enough becomes the truth).

    A crime is; “an offense against the state that is punishable.” (Collins Dictionary of Law) “A crime is an offense against a public law.” (Bouvier’s Law Dictionary) A crime does not relate to the breaking of a law (murder, theft, destruction of property, acts against humanity, bathroom habits, etc.) but rather, a breach of positive law’s godly mandates. By definition, crime is the breach of an oligarchal (1 to ⋯) totalitarian’s communal dictate, consuming all herd cogs within its realm of influence. A crime is “an offense against the state and its dictates” - NOT a breach of law or a nature’s law offense - one individual against another individual. If a State does not dictate / refuse a certain action or non-action - there is no crime (San Francisco’s street deification policy is an example of such).

    Participating in business is a lawful affair. Conducting business without a State issued license is a crime. Two adult individuals (man and woman) of majority age, willingly entering a religious sacrament’s contract or covenant - like marriage, is lawful. Accomplishing such scenario without a State issued license is a crime. ETC., ETC., ETC. According to the actual definition of “Socialism”, only socialists or other carnal gods would be complicit in establishing criminal totalitarianism or breaching criminal mandates.

    Mike, Norwalk the point is to have a law conscious promoting principled foundation for human growth and development. Your description of criminal just keeps the criminal intact with its built in criminal supporting propensities. We are here to eliminate crime because we are not naturally criminal.

    Correction: A criminal individual is an individual who performs crimes against humanity. Sexist, racist, violent aggressive actors against humanity. The criminal controls the vast resources and resists the simplest necessities for the humans. To feed, cloth ourselves as humans is made a tremendous struggle by the criminals. To sleep, go to the restroom is incessantly confounded by you sickos. You criminals resist any authentic education, exercise or any other developmental activities which a Socialist would never be complicit in involving themselves.
