Sounds like using the Bible to justify assigning roles; no thanks, I actually believe in freedom of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness however that works for an individual. So no thanks to my daughter participating in Turning Point. Keep religion out of politics. |
You left out "Nature's God" and "endowed by our Creator" |
My kids would likely not join, but I have no objection to having a chapter there. As for the passages, I think the actions speak louder than words and it appears they had a good marriage. I sure like it better than men walking around in shorts on a hot day while the wife is covered from head to toe. But, that is their choice. |
I am atheist and believe people can choose their religion whether it is Christianity, Buddhism, or being nonreligious. Is that allowed in your America or are you going to impinge on my personal freedom of religion or lack thereof? |
I've been in the schools and seen teachers dressed head to toe in rainbows. I've heard the stories of teachers in tears in front of their students following elections that didn't go their way. It's insulting that you think we don't know that certain teachers would hold kid's political opinions against them. |
Huh? None of this is an example of a teacher holding a kid's political views against them, only your paranoia about it. |
There was segregation in this area as recently as 60 years ago, supported by Democrats. The Arlington sign lady grew up in an era when Democrats believed in Whites Only. |
Like groups that shoot people and throw rocks at government agents? |
From the Cato institute, data from 2020 onward but they also have a longer term trend with the same pattern:

Please, follow your faith tradition. But don't misrepresent what people of faith believe and state, like that other poster, especially when the evidence is right there in black and white. Whether religion, a teacher's in class comments, politics or heck, gossip, be intellectually honest and present the whole statement, not just some snippet cropped and edited to slander someone like most of the posts on this thread against Charlie Kirk. The Bible is free online. His videos in full are free online. Argue against what those things say, but be honest and accurate, and don't try to shut others down with juvenile insults and aggressive attacks based on edited clips and a few words that leave out the entire passage and which completely change the meaning through omission. |

Yes, Johnson's signing of civil right legislation in 1964 - which Charlie Kirk said was a bad idea - was another pivotal event in flipping white supremacists to the GOP. Of course MAGA Republicanism is a more extreme and repulsive development. In any event, if there are Young Democrats clubs there can be a Young Republican or Turning Point club, but your kid will look like a MAGA tool if they join. |
Suggest you go listen to WHY he said it was a bad idea. I suspect you are just regurgitating excerpts. |
None of the full clips make his views any less misogynistic in my eyes. I am a married woman and I do not "submit" to my husband and would never marry a man who talked in such a way. And I grew up in a Christian family so quite familiar with the Biblical teaching. No thanks, not for my daughter. And sidenote, generally concerning that the Republican party is leaning into these kinds of views when you take into account that Hegseth tweeted support of church leaders discussing repealing the 19th. Gross. |
Not PP you were responding to, but I don't agree with either of you. The Young Republicans would be the counterpart to the Young Democrats. Turning Point USA has a narrower ideology than merely being Republican. It's a specific traditionalist Christian form of conservatism. Not every Republican is aligned with those values. |
