I randomly ran into Ben Carson in the hallway in HUD in DC. He talks with that high voice of his all the time.
It was an amazing experience to speak with the legend.
What even were 2015 memes?
Somebody posted this the other day
So I guess we don't have to pay income taxes anymore ^
He didnt win yet
Oh. I guess I should be more diligent.
IRS was prob hoping to slowly crush him quietly
Would be a great precedent if he wins
Tax veto on religious grounds.... 🤔
Epic
Just need a convenient religion
Hes a mad man but I wish him the best
@Perihelion - CA "convenience" spits in the face of religion, my friend. Most people profess their faith because they actually believe in it's principles - not just because it's politically/financially expedient.
I'd say that holds true for most every religion btw...
In the face of an openly hostile government, I'll take expedience if it works.
okay
The fact my deeply held beliefs are not respected because they're not tied to a government recognized religious tradition is arbitrary so I'll play the game they pose.
@Perihelion - CA are you actually going to play it? Steve McNallen dedicated his life, effectively to having Asatru recognized by the US Military & Govt. It's not an easy task by any means.
@godric Sorry Godric, there is not... Perhaps we will consider releasing prints in the future.
That's my point that unless you want to fully commit, *and have standing*, *and have an established dogma with a documented history* then you have to play within the established religions. Therefore for those of us not neatly fitting into a religious tradition, religions of convenience are expedient.
I'm not meaning to diss on any religions by not perfectly fitting in a box
What is CPAC?
Ah I see what you mean now. I certainly see your point and I largely agree with your point of view.
I'd say that McNallen showed that it in indeed possible, but it's an uphill battle to be sure.
I admire his courage and I hope rights for Asatru will be a benefit to our people.
@Lawrence The largest Conservative (big C) political conference in America.
It's in Washington DC
It’s the Big C lobby
There are no "based black guys"
How so
Disagree https://youtu.be/4hwlKnVzRkg
Sorry it’s long but this guy is based no question. People can agree with us without being our people
Now if you mean there is no community of based blacks, or that based blacks basically aren’t a thing aka there is no substantial number of them, yeah I agree that’s reality
Its doesn't make them white (obviously)
But its possible for someone to agree with the idea without being white. (But its so rare its almost not worth accounting for)
That’s the verbiage I was looking for. So rare it’s not worth accounting for
@VinceChaos I like that guy though I've seen interviews with him
I’ve read that there used to be a big divide between light-skinned American free black communities and ex-slave communities. At one time, they didn’t associate with each other. The two communities also had very different stats for education, criminality, etc.
I believe I read that in Sowell’s ETHNIC AMERICA, but it was a while ago...
