Q.
Is that because Pres. Trump is more honourable than any moslem ?

i.e.
Trump usually tells his natural enemies to their face, what he thinks of them.

Moslems ?       Not so.



Mohammed, the Messenger of Allah, is recorded in a hadith as having said:

“War is deceit”
(Bukhari 4.52.268).

Trump is not an honourable man. He has no respect or integrity for anyone but those who will give him praise for things even if they are not moral or ethical. He calls woman slobs and pigs, won't let those who speak against him ask him questions at press conferences and continually lies to the American public.

If you call this honourable your priorities and ideals are very wrong. Very wrong indeed.

Your reflection of Muslims is wrong. It uses a thousands year old scripture to reflect a very inaccurate view of their actions and views. The vast majority of Muslims are good people and are practising their faith in harmony. The vast majority of Christians are good people and are practising their faith in harmony. There are bad people in every religion, society etc.., don't use that to characterise everyone as bad.

Your views are the very crux of the problem with so many people in society. Stereotype and generalise because that is what is easiest. Easy is not necessarily correct.

In all honestly, I can't think of another human being less deserving of that description.

Calling Trump an honourable man is like calling Pauline Hanson an intelligent woman.


"honourable: honest and fair, or deserving praise and respect".

Very wrong indeed.


Moslems simply LIE and DECEIVE [those who are not members, of their own intimate camp].


Moslems themselves, TELL US, that they LIE and DECEIVE.

And in every instance, where i have seen any moslem being 'found out', the will moslem simply deny their lying and deceiving, in the face of every evidence against them.

So, going by your accusation against Pres. Trump, Trump is no worse than any moslem.



As a flawed human being, any person, if he confesses his faults, to God, can call on God's forgiveness.

Moslems cannot.

Why not.

Because moslems live by a very, very, different creed.


creed = = system of religious belief; a faith.

we smile to the face "while our hearts curse them"




Psalms 28:3
Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief is in their hearts.
4  Give them according to their deeds, and according to the wickedness of their endeavours: give them after the work of their hands; render to them their desert.



And, even if Pres. Trump is a flawed and 'bad' Christian, show me any Christian, who is faultless.

There isn't any such creature.

We [Christians] all must come to God, humbly, to ask God for his forgiveness, for our many errors.

We do not come to God, with confidence, in our own 'good ways'.




1 John 1:8
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10  If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

Your words are laughable, and absurd.


You are suggesting that the 'good' moslems, followers of ISLAM, have no reverence for the 'holy Koran'.       Sure.

You are either a deceiver, or completely demented, in suggesting that.



QUESTIONS;
Do these 'good' moslems worship and pray to [and obey], the same Allah which all other moslems worship and pray to [and obey]
- OR NOT ??

The Allah who calls on believers to fight and kill disbelievers.


Do these 'good' moslems revere, the same [murderous] Mohammed which all other moslems revere
- OR NOT ??

Mohammed, Allah's messenger, also calls on believers to fight and kill disbelievers.


Do these 'good' moslems revere [as the very words of Allah], the same immutable, and inerrant religious document, which all other moslems use, the Koran
- OR NOT ?

The Koran, throughout its pages, instructs believers to fight and kill disbelievers.



e.g.

"Fighting [against disbelievers] is prescribed for you, and [if] ye dislike it.....Allah knoweth, and ye know not."
Koran 2.216


"O ye who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are near to you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that Allah is with those who keep their duty (unto Him)."
Koran 9.123


"Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain:...."
Koran 9.111

Bernie Sanders can promise those objectives, TO PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BE DECEIVED....

But neither Bernie Sanders [nor any Socialist/Marxist in America] has the means or any viable method, which can fulfill those promised outcomes.

Socialists/Marxists are corrupt, and incompetent managers, in government.

They have revealed this, again, and again, and again, and again,       ....in recent human history [the last 100 years].


e.g.
Venezuela DID have the resources [Venezuela has, still, huge, huge oil reserves] to provide a Socialists/Marxists 'utopia'.

And how has that worked out ?

As far as I know, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Netherlands, Germany, Austria; they all work out quite well as far as I know. They have very good social welfare programmes.

Hard work, & sacrifice is the American way to achieve prosperity & reward......providing unsustainable free-bees to people who didn't earn the right to them, by taking financial resources away from those that did, to provide it to them isn't a solution, it's a sure fire recipe to ultimate failure...... Socialism is a curse, & hopefully America.....the land I love.....will not walk away from a proven source of prosperity,  Free Market Supply & Demand Capitalism.

But, I'll keep an open mind........propose your social programs when America doesn't need to borrow a Trillion dollars a year any longer......till then.....Americans should pay as they go to achieve what they want in life............

So, did the slave owners work hard and sacrifice for their wealth and success? Did the robber barons work hard for their success when they bought politicians and got favours from members of Congress??

You're living in a fantasy work, Panther. America is riddled with poverty and obese people. Sure, you saved our arses in World War 2 and have presided over a world without war, but at what cost to the American worker? At what cost to the American black man/woman?

Short of printing more money which creates inflation, the only way to fund social welfare programmes is to redistribute money via taxation. There is no other way.

IF redistribution is the aim.
Why not also think of making people self-sufficient and save taxation for the ones who cannot be self-sufficient - the sick.

It's not the state's function to save the lazy and profligate from themselves. Support the unfortunate, yes. Not the opportunist lay-abouts who have not made provisions for their old age.

Do you know that the US currently pay more per head of population to not have these things when compared to countries that do ?

An example is healthcare where Placed like Canada are paying about 50% less per head of population for universal health care than what the US pay to not have it ? In the US the government give health funds and pharmaceutical companies trillions so that they can go on and charge the population more Trillions.

Difficult to say that it is unaffordable when it costs about 50% less than the current system.

Quote:
Sen. Bernie Sanders abruptly suspended his 2020 White House bid on Wednesday after undergoing an unexpected heart procedure — with the 78-year-old’s campaign saying he will be sidelined “until further notice.”

The Vermont senator was rushed to a Las Vegas hospital Tuesday night after suffering what his campaign characterized as “some chest discomfort” at a Nevada event.

“Following medical evaluation and testing he was found to have a blockage in one artery and two stents were successfully inserted,” noted Team Sanders.

In theory, your idea would work, but in reality it's much different. Most people who are unemployed or homeless aren't 'lazy', they usually suffer from mental health problems and are absolutely in despair since they don't have anyone in their life.

Second, it's not as easy to 'find a job' and work. There's so much cost-cutting and competition out there that it's not easy to find work, especially full-time work.

This isn't about Bernie Sanders. It's about public policy.

What does Bernie stand for? Pussies like Morticia cry about "Socialism" but socialism is just simply where the dollar flow - to the very top, like they do now, or to those not at the top.

How is Trump paying for his tax cuts to the 1%? By doing the very thing he promised he would not do: cuts to Social Security and Medicare. Is this what you stand for Morticia?

Poor little guy, once again crying that he isn't getting his fair share of what someone earned. If you have $200 and I have a dollar, "we" have $201, sound fair to you? When you get old enough to pay Income Tax fill it out yourself. You still don't understand the problem is that government spends too much.


Socialism definition is - any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods.

Oh my gosh!

Affordable healthcare,
affordable education,
affordable childcare,
higher wages,
less poverty!


Oh my gosh, I feel so oppressed.



Oh my gosh, indeed !



Bernie Sanders can promise those objectives, TO PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BE DECEIVED....

But neither Bernie Sanders [nor any Socialist/Marxist in America] has the means or any viable method, which can fulfill those promised outcomes.

Such promises, are the stuff of fairy tales.



means = =
1 an action or system by which a result is achieved.
2 financial resources; income.       substantial resources; wealth.


Are you saying that America doesn't have the money to provide these social programmes to its citizens?


Hard work, & sacrifice is the American way to achieve prosperity & reward......providing unsustainable free-bees to people who didn't earn the right to them, by taking financial resources away from those that did, to provide it to them isn't a solution, it's a sure fire recipe to ultimate failure...... Socialism is a curse, & hopefully America.....the land I love.....will not walk away from a proven source of prosperity,  Free Market Supply & Demand Capitalism.


So, did the slave owners work hard and sacrifice for their wealth and success? Did the robber barons work hard for their success when they bought politicians and got favours from members of Congress??

You're living in a fantasy work, Panther. America is riddled with poverty and obese people. Sure, you saved our arses in World War 2 and have presided over a world without war, but at what cost to the American worker? At what cost to the American black man/woman?






◈ African-American unemployment has recently achieved the lowest unemployment rate since the early to mid 50's, while the overall US rate has also dropped to the lowest levels since the '29 Market Crash.

◈ Almost 4 million new jobs have been created in the last 3 years.

Oh, & I would guess that Australia is a budding land of plenty where everyone's baskets are full to the brim.......Paaaaleeeeease, I've lived here for the better part of the last 35 years mate, so peddle yer BS to  someone in a sh!t hole like Cuba or Costa Rica. There are probably more people here in Australia living from hand to mouth now than just about any time in the last 30+ years.....so peddle yer BS to someone else....

And fella, when we go into town we play "spot the skinnies", talk about obese.....when I first moved here 80% of the Aussies seemed fit, & slim, now Australia is a mass of chunkers mate.....cows all walkin' around on their hind legs.....it seems that the percentages have turned on their heads......only 20-30% of the Aussies we see here are in the fit & slim category today!

As those well-paying jobs? You can have people working for 50c per hour and claim that you've created jobs. Doesn't mean squat.

So, what's the NET GAIN in jobs? How many jobs were lost in the meantime? If you've lost 7 million jobs but have created 4 million, you're still 3 million behind.

Which proves that neo-liberalism has destroyed Australia, although not as much as the US. Ask anyone who has visited America - they'll tell you that many parts are third world.

And there is a highest percentage of obese people in America than in Australia, so what does that tell you?

We're generally protected from free market policies because we have a functioning safety net. Banking regulation protected us from the GFC. Immigration keeps us at 2 to 3% GDP growth.

To date, we've been shielded economically, but not environmentally. The environment - and our CO2 output - carries the burden of neoliberal policies. The Barrier Reef, the most important marine sanctuary in the world, is dying.

If we could transition to renewable energy, get into sustainable farming, solve Aboriginal disadvantage and raise Newstart a bit, we'd be all good. We'd have a country the world could respect.

Most European countries have done all this with lower economic growth than Australia. It's all achievable.

Bernie, by the way, is only promoting what we already have.

Correct, he is; but from an American perspective, it's very progressive. In fact, I think that America's next step is to completing scrap their Constitution and adopt a new Constitution, which I'd be happy to draft for them.

It was FDR, as you said, who extended human rights to health care, education and employment. Back in the 30s, this was possible to do.

Today? It's a totally new narrative. Not being in America, I have no idea whether it can resonate. The political instinct is absolutely NOT, but we've been wrong before.

If Bernie makes the nomination, CNN and Fox News will join forces to howl him down. All those FAKE news channels will go back to being "real" news for those on the Trump Train.
