    :rolleyes: South Africa is doing the same thing that was done to Native Hawaiians in the 1984 case Midkiff v Hawaii Housing Authority. Basically some Native Hawaiian families owned most of the land and it was taken from them using eminent domain to "redistribute" to other people only for the land to ulitmately be bought up by land speculators. Oh sure they got "compensanted" but not nearly what the land was actually worth. And what does Donald Trump think about eminent domain?

    So I thought your argument was that if Rand were able to pull it off it would just make things worse or at the very least not any better. But it seems now that your argument is that it's unlikely he'll ever get this passed. If the former than I disagree. If the latter than I can't say you're wrong but I don't think it's bad to at least try.

    LOL. You said "noone in the Arab world seriously denounces Hamas." Your statement is provably false. You are the only fool here. Abbas didn't support provoking a wider war with Israel or he would have done it already. I don't give a rats ass if he "feels the slightest sorrow for a dead Jew." That's irrelevant. This isn't about how somebody "feels." It's about who had the ability to prevent October 7th. Abbas didn't have that ability but Bibi Netanyahu did. Israel had the plans for the attack 1 year in advance. And Ron Paul clearly REJECTED your argument that if people other than the Afghanis had operational control of Al Qaeda on 9/11 that meant war with the Afghanis was warranted. He rejected that in November 2001 just months after voting for tha authorization for military force. Ron Paul supported SURGICAL strikes to get Osama Bin Laden, who had already escaped before we invaded, and NOT a general war! If Israel had just attacked Hamas the way it attacked Hezbollah in Lebonon with minimal civilian casualties, the civilized world would not care. Candace Owens brought that point up multiple times when she debated Zionist shills last year. Once more in case you missed it. Ron Paul: The Afghan people did nothing to deserve another war. The Taliban, of course, is closely tied to bin Laden and the al Qaeda, but so are the Pakistanis and the Saudis. Even the United States was a supporter of the Taliban's rise to power. And as recently as August of this year, we talked pipeline politics with them. The recent French publication of bin Laden, ``The Forbidden Truth,'' revealed our most recent effort to

    I'm sure if Rand had been on the Supreme Court he would have voted to strike down Chevron Deference. And if this law had been passed sooner the Court wouldn't have NEEDED to strike down Chevron Deference. So Rand is doing exactly what it seems you're saying needs to be done. And Court decisions can be reversed. The left is now kicking itself for not codifying Roe v Wade with federal legislation when Obama was president and they had the house and a 2/3rds majority in the Senate. The republicans don't have that 2/3rds majority so this may be tilting at windmills, but if the Dems are forced to vote to protect bureaucracy that is also a win.

    I still feel like you're missing the importance of pinning down a specific set of facts (whether true or false!) This is why Congress brings in, say, a general to testify on record about some DoD program. The hearing itself isn't going to "expose corruption" or "get to the bottom of what really happened", rather, you're forcing the opposition to make a move, any move. Once the move has been placed on the board, now there is something to play against. The Fed is playing "5-dimensional mind chess" where nobody's allowed to place any pieces on the board, ever. So, by definition, they can never lose. And that's the point. Pre-Clown World, I thought we would see a Bitcoin-fueled agorist revolution. That has kinda sorta happened a little bit overseas in places like Japan, El Salvador, etc. But the USG has proved that the 600 pound gorilla really can smash everybody's toys for as long as he's mad that he's not getting a cut of the action. So, Bitcoin has not taken off in the US to the extent I had hoped it would and is certainly not freeing up the economy as we need it to be freed up. So, this illustrates the importance of placating the 600-pound gorilla ... or putting him on a diet, or both. The gorilla is Congress, and its fat gut is the Fed. We need to get Congress to understand that it has a weight problem and when you start trying to "talk Congress", you have to start doing this weird MAGA stuff where you do stunts like renaming the Gulf of Mexico, etc. I don't make the rules, that's just how the game works. So, given that that's how things work in Clown World, we are stuck with trying to play with clown pieces on a clown chessboard. But the clowns and the chessboard are all invisible and the Fed's "moves" are completely non-auditable and exist only in their mind, and whatever moves they say they've made are subject to revision at any time. So, whenever we say, "Checkmate, that's corruption. This is money-printing that is causing inflation and we have receipts", they just back-peddle a little, say it was all a misunderstanding, and announce a different move. We need to force them to place a piece on the chessboard and actually move; then they can be pinned to that move. This is similar to why you have discovery in a court case... the pieces have to be placed down so both sides can prepare the actual arguments they will present. If the Fed is never audited, we'll never have anything to pin them down with, and so we're forever stuck in a Clown World air-chess championship in which they get to rewrite the rules at whim, never placing a piece on the board, and there will never be a feasible path to arguing in Congress that the Fed is actually destroying the American economy and is a spigot of criminal bribery and corruption, and Congress will not change its favorable stance towards the Fed, and Bitcoin or other alternative paths to economic freedom in America will remain blocked.

    Not in any simplistic sense, no. The Fed is like an enormous Wooly Mammoth... taking it down will require the cooperation of a huge group of people, and even after it has breathed its last, it will be a long time until it is fully parceled up and its anatomy understood. Right now, the Fed can permanently hide behind the shell-game of "Where's your data? Oh, that's right we haven't given it to you, dipshit." The Fed has been operating for over 110 years. That's a lot of data, and we have very good records of price inflation. The correlation in this data will obviously be 1.000000... to 1.000000... because the Fed is the overwhelming cause of all secular inflation in the US and the other nations under US hegemony.

    Well..considering that the pistol brace ban didn't not get passed after the ATF rule got struck down by the courts it seems the answer is no. The administrative state clown car drives much faster. https://www.cato.org/cato-handbook-policymakers/cato-handbook-policymakers-9th-edition-2022/reining-administrative-state#restore-popular-accountability-domestic-policymaking Agencies regulate through a combination of the legislative, executive, and judicial functions by issuing rules with the force of law, policing those rules, and adjudicating their enforcement. In 2021, for example, the Biden administration issued 3,257 regulations with the force and effect of law, whereas Congress passed 81 laws during that time. The last available year for comprehensive data about administrative adjudications is 2013, when the five busiest agencies convened 1,351,342 executive branch tribunals; that same year, there were 57,777 total cases (civil and criminal) filed in the U.S. district and appellate courts.

    You're honesty quotient is low. And I fully explained my position. You either lack the reading comprehenion to understand it or you lack the honesty to admit it. Most people here reject the idea that the war in Afghanistan was somehow justified based on the theory that all the CIA did was merely help the mujahadeen back in the 1980s and then Al Qaeda attacked America because they hate us for our freedom. Even though Ron Paul voted for authorization military action to take out Al Qaeda, as early as November 2001 he said: The Afghan people did nothing to deserve another war. The Taliban, of course, is closely tied to bin Laden and the al Qaeda, but so are the Pakistanis and the Saudis. Even the United States was a supporter of the Taliban's rise to power.

His comments signal rising tension between Abbas's Fatah faction and the Islamist Hamas group, which accused the Palestinian president of taking Israel's side.

    I just started looking at the Constitution Party platform since you recommended it awhile back. There are some good things in it, but there are also some concessions to statism that I think are dangerous despite the fact that I'm moving away from strict anarcho-capitalist libertarianism. They support regulation of "obscenity", which isn't really defined, they support some drug restrictions, and they are careful to show their respect for agents of our currently illegitimate state (veterans), as well as condemning attempts to cut their benefits despite the fact that they are paid out of our pockets and for participating in unjust wars for an unjust system.

    The Constitution Party isn't all bad, and I might support some of their candidates, but I don't think there is any party I can support on principle (LP is pro-choice so not an option) I respect strict theonomy even though I'm not sure I agree with it yet. I don't think anybody believes what I'm starting to believe these days.

    OK, so my question is, with relations to Galatians, how is it that you can call Roman Catholics on this board "brothers" even though they add works to the gospel just like the Judaizers did? How is adding baptism as a requirement in order to be saved any different than adding circumcision as a requirement?

    Out of curiosity, how do you interpret Galatians 1:8-9 and 2 John 9-11?
