  1. Given the present state of affairs in America, similar to the McCarthy era I only imagine as I was but 2, but it is growing exceedingly hard not to become nihilistic.

  2. Every man possessed of wisdom and courage should be opposed by a man of justice and temperance. ;)

    ...for there are FOUR cardinal virtues, not two, and they OPPOSE one another as follows:

    Courage:Temperance::Wisdom:Justice

  3. Meden agan! translation: Nothing too much ... even wisdom and courage. ;)

  4. Wisdom has always been feared by faith and control folks. For wisdom and compassion in unison leads to true liberty and fearlessness.

    Something authoritarian control types realize and so attempt to keep the masses subdued with lies and BS.

    Sorta like DJT, The Heritage Foundation and the GOP.

    1. Does NOT make my statement invalid. Wisdom and compassion does lead to fearlessness. But being a con I realize that for you that may not be true.

  6. In the view of the Wisdom of Solomon, justice is the hallmark of the created world, and creation itself constantly labors for justice.

    btw - creation? That's just another name for courage:temperance

  7. btw - creation is also NOT the same thing as "man-ufacturing"

  8. This election should be named tale of the two lairs. Trump lies because of his ego and biden lies because he always has lied about everything. Even CNN has called him out so you know it's bad. To say it is his age or dementia is not true because he has done this for decades only before it didn't matter now it does.

  9. HOPE springs eternal. One can hope all they want. Only actions guarantee results, good or bad.

  10. Only the right wing guy with many names could imply wisdom and courage are opposing values to justice and temperament. Do you guys read your stuff before you post it?

  11. Wisdom and compassion. Courage is the outgrown of both.

    Without compassion courage can become brutality.

  12. JoeBama, The MAGA Hydra is presently combing thru YouTube videos to find some crackpot to vaguely validate it's assertion. Expect a link soon.

  13. Wisdom and compassion does lead to fearlessness.

    Yes, the COMPASSION that results in the fearlessness of the rash abandonment of the safety of the individual who charges to the other's rescue, a worthless criminal bum like Sleepy Joe, and who sacrifices himself in the process (such a grave inJUSTICE). :)

    Imagine compassion without Temperance, Mother Theresa smothering/ suffocating the poor.

    Courage untempered by Wisdom and Justice becomes downright silliness.

  15. Compassion can be a virtue when balanced, but it can become a vice when taken to an extreme. Feeling too deeply for others can cause burnout, stress, and mental health challenges. This is known as toxic compassion or hyper empathy, and it can lead to someone neglecting their own well-being

    Meden agan!

    There it is, proof of the obvious mental breakdown that MAGA suffer.

    Joe Biden has not been indicted or accused by any officer of the law of ANY criminal action. NONE. Yet the scrambled mind of Joe Conservative and his MAGA bretheren believe Joe Biden is a "worthless criminal," and not THE ACTUAL MAN WHO IS A CRIMINAL, A CONVICTED FELON, ADJUDICATED RAPIST AND TAX FRAUDSTER.

    If we ever needed anymore evidence of the complete breakdown of reasoning and rationality in a segment of our population, MAGA, what Joe Con wrote is a perfect example of living in an alternate reality.

    The World Bank has stated that America's economic recovery under Joe Biden has lifted the rest of the world's economy, yet that accomplishment is considered "worthless" by MAGA Joe and his ilk.

    I do believe they are in the throes of some sort of psychological breakdown.

    There is no other explanation for MAGA to idolize an immoral and criminal person like Trump.

    Their world is turned upside down, and it's scrambled their brains.

  17. While our friend JoeC's dive into the realm of philosophy is a nice diversion from his usual nonsense, I highly doubt he has any clue about any message he's trying to convey. The only contribution I have for JoeC to contemplate is that a man looks naked without a belt.

  18. Adjudicated rapist in a trial where the defense could not contest the charge of rape, and the victim couldn't place it within a year of occurence...
