A friend whose now-ex-husband was a Methodist minister told us of a member of his congregation who did not approve of foreign languages being taught in American schools. His rationale - "If English was good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for me."
What do you even say to someone as hopelessly ignorant as that?

(4,621 posts)They are supporting local, state, and national Democratic candidates. They struggle to buy signs, put on fundraisers, pay their rent and utilities. They are mostly manned by hard working volunteers who worry about party finances like most of us worry about rent and insurance payments. You will learn a lot about candidates from the local party and that will help you decide which candidate fundraisers are worth your time and money.

(4,621 posts)Start going to meetings and shake things up. You have more power than you know and using it will strengthen you. If you feel this way, so do others.
Last year we had a county chair who seemed to do nothing to help us win. Its not that he didnt try, its that he had too much on his plate. He was a good man, but not very effective as a chair for that period of his life. He did recommend a lady to take his place. We voted her in and almost overnight, our local party was transformed. The number of precinct chairs, the life blood of the party quintupled! We started having fundraisers frequently, social events weekly; we started getting to know other Dems in our communitythere are a lot more of them than you realize and they NEED you, just like you need them. We had to rent a church sanctuary to hold our monthly meetings because our headquarters would no longer hold us all. We have people block walking for all the candidates now. It didnt happen overnight, but it happened pretty damn fast once we dealt with a few obstacles that were holding us back. Youd be surprised how much you can do and how fast things can change.
Go to a few meetings, figure out what they are dealing with, make suggestions, volunteer, talk to others in the party. You can bet there are others who see what you see. Make connections and strategies to overcome the difficulties the party is dealing with. Dont give up on the only engine that will take you where you want to go. Roll up your sleeves and get involved.

(13,166 posts)It was sickening hearing thousands were there.
The Fat Man did not even show up. No separation of Church and State, the damn Church IS the State. And the biggest fake ass Christian pukes like Moses Mike, Haqueseth and Rubio sure as hell were front and center.
And God allowed it.
So now our house in catering to the Jones and the Waco factions of religion. When does the snake handlers show up? Maybe take a few out.
When we take it all back can we have a WH Catered attack on the 2nd Amendment, a Jamboree, at Our House?
Good guy with a gun at the Islamic Center.
When the right wing terrorist are not raping children, they use em As targets for their big guns. Egged on by the White Nationalist Christians in charge.
With the abuse of the first two amendments, why the hell would we hope the others will save us from the gettin Great takeover?

Spain's Cristina Gutiérrez is the second woman ever to win the Dakar Rally after victory in the Challenger class in 2024 and now she's chasing Car glory.

I thought this was about the so-called "Rededicate 250" rally, and that you might have meant to type Christian, not Christina. I don't see anything upthread that explains anything.
EDIT: I presume you're talking about the post that mentions the word "redediication"? I didn't make the connection earlier because I couldn't remember the name of the Christian-themed rally that I thought you must be talking about.
I can't believe how much time I spent today trying to figure out what the o.p. was about. And after all this, I still don't know who the fuck Christina is. *throws up hands*

(114,696 posts)instead of turning up, many if not most of them didn't show up, either.
It's either that or the heretical prosperity gospel/fundagelical movements have finally run their course and are no longer being supported by enough people to keep them going.

I guess this is what I get for hiding out from the news the way I've been doing. Need to do a better job of at least be following what's happening locally. The source you linked to looks like a good place to start.

(4,206 posts)Trump owns several golf resorts and golf courses, one of which is in Sterling VA, just outside DC.
He returned from China, changed his diapers, threw some ketchup on the wall, admired his ballroom, then headed out in a motorcade to the Sterling golf course where he spent most of the day Sunday. Did not stop by the "christians," did not send them a recorded video, just headed for the golf course. Exactly what Jesus would have done -- right???
NOTE: If I seem a bit pissed off and not my usual jovial self, it's because I've just been on the phone for an hour wrangling over a prescription my wife must have. The mail-order company to whom our doc sent the script is owned by assholes, all the people on the phone are assholes. Thank God we have a Walgreens 5 minutes away; they called, had the script transferred to them, and we are good. I LOVE THE AMERICAN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM.

(22,918 posts)Like I said, I ignored this thing the best I could. If someone named Christina was connected with it, I am in the dark. It looked me a while to even figure out what rally you were talking about. From the comments hers, I know I'm not the only one who was confused.
And now I'm still confused.
