What makes you lean ‘Left’? What makes nearly all big cities ‘Left’?

[theHawk]

God is the judge. Not you.

I never claimed to be the judge. The law is quite clear in the Bible.

Leading people down a destructive path to hell isn’t “love”.

 

[theHawk]

Liberal parents love their children for who they are.
Conservatives will discard them if they displease them

As usual you can’t address the point I made. How is leading your child to hell qualify as “love”?

Conservatives aren’t “discarding” them. God will “discard them” to hell if they live such sinful lives as gay and “transgender”.

What are the primary issues that drive people to the Left…why are such driving forces so much more prevelant in urban metropolises?
I ask because thinking ‘Left‘ in America isn’t exactly the conventional ideolgy to adopt…right?
Your thoughts?

Its primarily because they're nearest the propaganda, whether it be tv, education systems, government and hip.

Some people have an incredibly small "god" they believe in.

Thomas Jefferson had great disdain for large cities

Thomas Jefferson, Epidemics and His Vision for American Cities

Jefferson's experience with the yellow fever epidemic of 1793 reinforced his dislike of cities and shaped a radical plan for the development of a new nation that even included his concept of urban design.

www.governing.com

Firstly, large cities spread a Pandemic at that time that killed 1 in 10 people, just like we saw New York City have the biggest numbers of people dying during our Pandemic. Considering this, cities are the least ideal places to be in a Pandemic for obvious reasons, and just a tender box waiting for the flame.

Secondly, Jefferson saw large cities as full of corruption which created an underclass that would eventually threaten the Republic at some point.

To his closest friend, James Madison, he wrote in 1787, the year of the American Constitution, “When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as in Europe.”

From his disciplined reading of the Latin and Greek classics, Jefferson derived his belief that the ideal citizen of a republic was a modest family farmer living on the land, growing his own food, and providing his own shelter and clothing. Since this farmer depended on no other person or institution for his livelihood, he was truly free. His relations with the state were entirely voluntary rather than necessary. City dwellers, by contrast, could not grow their own food. By living away from the fecundity of nature, they were dependent on others for food, shelter, clothing and employment. This made them less free. But “those who labor in the earth,” Jefferson wrote, “are the chosen people of God.”

Jefferson believed that cities were breeding grounds not just for economic and political dependency, but that they generally attracted an urban underclass. An unemployed and perhaps unemployable urban proletariat was dangerous to peace and social stability.

“The mobs of great cities,” he wrote, “add just so much to the support of pure government, as sores do to the strength of the human body. It is the manners and spirit of a people which preserve a republic in vigor. A degeneracy in these is a canker which soon eats to the heart of its laws and constitution.”

He knew enough of European history, particularly of ancient Rome, to understand that urban mobs are susceptible to the blandishments of demagogues, who use what the French called the “canaille” (packs of urban “dogs”) to further their own despotic goals. In his only book, Notes on the State of Virginia, Jefferson wrote, “Dependance begets subservience and venality, suffocates the germ of virtue, and prepares fit tools for the designs of ambition.” Better that everyone find happiness on what Jefferson called “the republic of the farm.”

Jefferson believed that cities were unhealthy places. In the absence of modern sewage systems, people merely tossed the contents of their chamber pots (and often enough dead animals) into the gutters of the streets and waited for rain to carry it untreated down to the river. Garbage, mostly organic, was discarded out the back of the house. Pigs, dogs, and horses roamed the streets leaving their excrement behind. Colonial streets were narrow; urban crowding put people into close contact with each other. Modern notions of cleanliness and hygiene had not yet been formulated. There were no adequate storm drains to carry away standing water. Modern police forces did not exist. Nor did streetlamps except in a few privileged neighborhoods.

On the surface, it seems only logical that people in larger cities are more dependent on government for pretty much everything, which is why I think Europe has been so farther to the Left since everyone there lives in a major city.

All of the support for the DNC resides mostly in large cities, otherwise, it does not exist.

Ah. Racist code...yes, GOP has the rube vote...

I live in beautiful places. I live on the coast in south OC. It’s not about where I live, it’s never been about where I live. I can live anywhere I want. I have kids who will have kids, who will have kids…I have a macro perspective, it’s always been about them and what prior generations were supposed to do to preserve ALL things America for them. America is being lost to the world.

you can live anywhere you want?....yet you live in a place you bitch and moan about.....you can be anything you want on the internet....

Because it destroys the child
Why not leave it to God…He made them

Are you ever interested in exchanging meaningful dialogue to sustain a serious conversation?

What destroys the child? Things like homosexual lifestyle and transgenderism destroys them.

Leave it to God? What does that even mean? Encourage them to break God’s laws?

God made everyone. He did not create or command any of them to commit sins. Humans decided for themselves to sin which led to death.

You mean like all those black people you have forced to compete with the tens of millions of thirdworlders you’ve imported?

This is not the message of Christ.

The protestant work ethic built the middle class, to which progressive ideology bears little to no resemblence.

UNIONS mainly built the middle/working class. now mostly gone.
Jobs shipped to cheaper country's in the interest of more profit for the richest few.

 

[MagicMike]

Prove it.

Christ warned about judging others. He said only God should be in the judging business.
When you judge others harshly then you become worse in the eyes of God than the people you are judging.
Not that I believe any of this Bronze Age, superstitious horseshit, but I don't pretend to be Christian.
If you're going to waste your life pretending to be Christian you should at LEAST learn the message of Christ and try your best to live by it.
Otherwise what is the point?

I already stated I don’t claim to be a judge. The judgment is for Jesus to make.

We are just trying to warn you that certain behavior will be judged harshly according to Jesus and the rest of the Bible.

Not your job.
Your job is to just worry about yourself.
If you want to at least SOUND like a real Christian perhaps you could spend your time reasurring others with lifestyles very different from yours that YOUR God is all inclusive and loves and "forgives" everybody equally....rather than condemning some to hell.

Sorry old timer, hate to say it but your head is all fucked up….the most fundamental part of life is the obligation we all have to recreate it. If everyone thought like your awesome grandaughter mankind would end. God, this shit is so simple. Thanks for making me feel so damn intelligent.

Relax loser. The sex drive in humans will provide as many babies as you need. Guaranteed.
