This is such a great idea! I've had this same problem for as long as I can remember, and I feel like most intellectually-oriented folks have this same problem, as well.
My work firewall blocked the site, but I will check this out later :)
The slogan is directed at fragile liberals who would rather yell like a toddler at a town hall meeting than have an informed discussion centered around facts. You can try and broaden that statement all you want to pull in other topics, but that slogan says nothing about having a disregard for how facts are interpreted OR presented.
It goes without saying that facts can be subject to multiple interpretations. I think people need to be more honest about what you're really saying: you don't like conservatives and you distorted a basic phrase as you gaslit a group of people and accused that group of doing what you yourself just did.
I've purchased two homes and I'm confident I can handle the paper work involved. I mean, most of the paper work is the attorney's and title company's anyway. The realtor is basically inserting himself in between those companies and then relaying that information to the client. In my case, my realtor was copied on all communications, but that is it. I was the one producing all the documentation, signing agreements, reading reports, following up on inspections, etc.
And I had one of the top Keller Williams agents in my state. The guy is known by everyone.
I can't make sense of paying someone $20,000 to say, "Let me know if you have any questions about the inspection report"; or to tell me, "I wouldn't buy this. There's moisture in the basement. There's a leak in the ceiling. The patio is not level." etc. I'm knowledgeable enough to see things like this, and if not, my inspector will educate me on it and identify issues.
When I sell my current home, the realtor commission would be around $20,000. That's $20,000 cash equity that is taken out of my hands. When I did this simple calculation, that's when beyond the shadow of a doubt, I knew I would not be using a relator -- I don't care how much of a headache it could be. I'm keepin' that $20K.
I'll walk myself out....
I needed to laugh this morning. Thank you.
Truth does exist. And the ultimate truth is Christ. Yes, those words ring as ignorance to most, but just like we are forced to reckon with gravity and the laws of physics, we all will one day reckon with the ultimate truth.
But it is not my job to compel anyone to believe this. I just find it fascinating that non-believers will believe in magic, ghosts, simulations, aliens, evolution, but that a Creator that exists outside of time, space, and matter created this universe? Nah, that's ignorant religious thinking.
What you refer to as "painfully obvious" is in reality a construct that was born, and continues to live, in your highly ideological, Leftist radicalized mind. Both sides accuse each other's candidate, every four years, of plotting to perpetually stay in power. This is a strong indication that you're not over 30-years old and again, still easily inflamed by the passion of the masses. Neither Obama, Biden, or Trump have ever had plans to become dictators.
Hopefully you mature past this ideologically-fueled phase you're in and you realize just what a political pawn you've allowed yourself to become.
Kamala just had an artist perform a song about her "fat pu#sy" and twerked on stage at her fundraising event.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the party that will restore decency in America.
I wish you the best. But you are wrong -- and blind.
But it looks like the limits of your comprehension and ability to dialogue in an objective manner have been met.
Ideology is a hell of a drug.
I do believe that FAFO moment is coming, but it's going to come as a surprise to the folks that distorted the definition of authoritarianism and employed it as a dishonest attack against everyone who simply disagreed with their opinion.
Hard work works especially for those at the bottom. And if you're located in the USA and you have that perspective, then you are not well traveled or have never lived in a third world country. I have.
Why on God's green earth would colleges lower their prices when they have guaranteed funding via guaranteed student loans? If anyone could get a loan for a house, the same thing would happen to the housing market. Cough Cough...2008. Government placed quotas on the industry to make the "American Dream" a reality for everyone.
I get it. Government-backed student loans does indeed give opportunities for many less fortunate people. But does giving opportunities to the less fortunate, which is a much, much smaller percentage than those who are not in that category, justify making college unaffordable for the entire country? Keep in mind that most people fall into a middle category where they are not poor but still don't have enough for college and have to find a way.
And sure, call me a conspiracy theorist, but at the end of the day, the Government doesn't back student loans because they want to help. They do it because it serves their special interest groups.
