What are your opinions regarding Forest Management Policies in the Western United States over the past 50 Years to Present, from an environmental, economic, and policy perspective?

What are your opinions regarding Forest Management Policies in the Western United States over the past 50 Years to Present, from an environmental, economic, and policy perspective?

I don't know enough about that to make a lengthy statement. 

I'm generally skeptical of loosening restrictions on use and development of Federal Lands.  Federal Lands are, indeed, just that; they are not state lands, and I'm not a big fan of people who whine that the Federal Government is taking "their" lands and "their" forests.  So, no, I'm not overly sympathetic about whining about 'The War on the West".

Since you’ve revived this thread, I’ll point back to some questions you didn’t answer before.

Why do you think Christianity is declining among the American public? What are the factors you see that are causing people to lose faith in Christianity?

What are your opinions on anti-capitalism and those claiming to adhere to it? What is Socialism to you? What are your, and your community’s, opinions on the DSA or more ideologically defined groups believing in Communism or Anarchism? Has public perception changed wildly over the times, or is it the same?

I’m gonna keep on posting this till I get a reply.

I'm not ignoring you.  I was about to write something on one of these questions when I had a family emergency which I literally must attend to right this minute.  These are thoughtful questions, which require a bit of pondering on my part to determine what I actually think, vs. what I've read.

Why do you think Christianity is declining among the American public? What are the factors you see that are causing people to lose faith in Christianity?

There are many reasons, I suppose.  One reason is the changing demographics of our society.  We take in as immigrants more Muslims, more Hindus, more Buddhists, and more people of other non-Christian religions because of the increasing percentage of immigrants that come from Asia.  But that's only part of it, and a very small part of it.

Part of the issue is that society has changed and people are now culturally free to reject Christianity.  People don't have to keep up religious fronts, so people who view church negatively simply don't go to church.  The divorce rate impacts church attendance; parents often have deep disagreements on who goes to church where, and that often results in kids, when they become adults, opt out of Church altogether.

I will say that the educational system, over my lifetime, has been anti-religious.  Very definitely in college, but even in public high schools, more and more teachers have a secular outlook.  And this comes at a time when family bonds are weaker and parents have less unity on Spiritual matters than is ideal. 

I've really not dwelt a lot on this issue.  I view myself as someone who ought to fight that trend.  I'll probably have more to say about this as time goes on.

I'm going to ask a few questions here. In your opinion, who are the best and worst members of Congress, of both parties? And who are the best and worst state governors, of both parties? What is your opinion of DeSantis (aside from his stance on felon voting rights), and of your state's two Senators? What about your local representative?

[PSOL]

Tend to your family Fuzzy, answering questions on here can really wait.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

What is your opinion of hipster Christianity?

[Fuzzy Bear]

What is your opinion of hipster Christianity?

It's nothing new.  There was the Jesus Movement in the 1970s.  Sha Na Na had a song about it:

The issue is one of Salvation.  Of which Jesus are you preaching.  Is the Jesus you're preaching the Son of God, the second person of the Godhead, fully God and fully Man, whose sinless life fulfilled the Law, and whose Death on the Cross and Ressurection provided the ONLY sacrifice for the full remission of sin?  Is it the Jesus, belief in whom is the ONLY way by which man can receive Eternal Life? 

It is as simple as that.  The above is whom Jesus said he was.  He wasn't a mere prophet or teacher; not with what He was claiming to be.  People who claim to be the Son of God these days get a stay in the local Mental Hospital.  Style is not something really important, but the SUBSTANCE of which Jesus you are preaching and believing in is THE question of ETERNAL significance.

What is your opinion of DeSantis (aside from his stance on felon voting rights), and of your state's two Senators? What about your local representative?

Best members of Congress:

Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA)
Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-OH)
Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ)
Sen. Doug Jones (D-AL)
Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT)
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY)

I'm neutral about DeSantis, and the voting rights issue may resolve itself in the Courts.  Absent that issue, I may vote for him in 2020.  He DOES seem proactive in some positive ways.  They are ways that may bring him in conflict with the Legislature, but that's happened before with Florida's Republican Governors.

I'm not a fan of either Scott or Rubio.  I voted for Rubio in 2016, and I may do so again.  I've never voted for Scott, and I'm not inclined to do so in 2024.  If the Democrats nominate a crank, I may abstain.  I actually think Scott is going to run for President in 2024, but I could be wrong.

[Fuzzy Bear]

What are your opinions on anti-capitalism and those claiming to adhere to it? What is Socialism to you? What are your, and your community’s, opinions on the DSA or more ideologically defined groups believing in Communism or Anarchism? Has public perception changed wildly over the times, or is it the same?

My Grandfather and my Grand-Uncle (his brother) were active Socialists in Ohio in the days of Norman Thomas.  (My Grandfather was born in 1877 and his brother was born in 1883 or so.)  This is from my 84 year old first cousin, who's the keeper of this.  He actually knew my Grandfather (who died in 1939).

I'm not a Milton Friedman guy.  I'm an AFL-CIO labor Democrat at heart; such liberalism allowed for socially conservative stances, and labor unions were a vehicle that strengthened families.  I don't believe in DSA doctrines, but I could be considered a "New Dealer" in politics.  I'm not opposed to the Great Society, or to a significant safety net.  But I don't believe that we can maintain a robust safety net without a robust private sector. 

Governing is a balance between fostering Prosperity and fostering Stability.  Rick Scott (ugh) was right when he said:  "Prosperity comes from the Private Sector.  Only from the Private Sector."  And he's not wrong here.  But Stability is important for a society as well, and Stability comes from the Public Sector.  Only from the Public Sector.  There are many functions that maintain a stable, middle class society that can only be done by the Public Sector because the Private Sector cannot make them profitable for investors.

I certainly have no use for communists, anarchists and I consider the DSA to be a Trotskyite Group with a benign name.  These groups wish to remake society in a manner that certainly involves an active assault on the Church.  They do not wish to live peaceably with Christians.  They wish to nullify all of their influence.  I have a closed mind on this subject.  I would like for my grandchildren to have lifetime healthcare, free college, and a guaranteed middle class lifestyle.  I am aware of trends in income disparity.  On the other hand, Jesus said "Man does not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceedeth out of the Mouth of God."  There's a bottom line here, and that's mine.

[Fuzzy Bear]

Do you believe that Ukraine interfered in the 2016 presidential election?

Of course.  As did Russia.  As did many, many other nations.

We live in a free society, do we not?  In America, "persons" have fundamental rights, and not just "citizens".  "Persons" in America (or outside America, for that matter) are free to speak their mind.  In this day and age, this means to work on campaigns, post memes on Facebook, Tweet away on Twitter, and create an account on Atlas using the screen name of HillbotsRule or Trumpistan4Ever, while posting away from Kyiv, Moscow, Beijing, Kuala Lumpur, Tel Aviv, or anywhere in the World.  American citizens can freely post things online that are geared to impact our elections.  Indeed, every time Grand Mufti T'Chenka and Landslide Lyndon post here, they're foreigners trying to impact the election. 

Foreigners "interfere" in our elections because we are a free society.  There is a difference between "interfering" in the dialogue and narratives that drive our elections and stealing the results by hacking, ballot box stuffing, and the like.  The latter has NOT happened by foreign interference, although it's certainly happened by the efforts of corrupt Americans of both parties.

It's one of the most overblown problems we talk about, and the solution to it, plain and simple, is for a more informed electorate.

I see. But I'm still curious to see who you think the worst members of Congress are. I would assume that the Squad would be among them?

What is your opinion on LGBT rights, and homosexuality in general?

Would Nikki Fried make a good candidate for governor? Would you vote for her?

As an addendum, I disagree with you on a lot — especially given my own history having grown up in an evangelical / born again family, but I think you’re one of the most interesting posters here.

The Worst Members of Congress?  Hmmmmmm . . .

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA)
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA)
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN)
Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI)
Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (D-MS)
Rep. Mazie Hirono (D-HI)
Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA)
Rep. Steve King (R-IA)
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR)

There are people like Al Green, Barbara Lee, and Eric Swalwell that are clowns, but they are idiots who don't do much harm.  Waters is worse than any of the Squad, Omar and Tlaib are anti-American, IMO, Hyde-Smith is likely the most anti-black member of Congress, and Cotton is a guy who scares me to death.  I view Cotton as a warmonger with a God-complex, and a very, very dangerous individual.  He's the guy who'll lead America into WWIII.

[Fuzzy Bear]

Would Nikki Fried make a good candidate for governor? Would you vote for her?

It's hard to say about Fried as a candidate.  She keeps a low profile, and it's not really clear as to how she's viewed.  I voted for her in 2018 and I would consider voting for her against DeSantis.  I don't see her as the strongest candidate against DeSantis, and I don't see DeSantis losing in 2022.  DeSantis is making all the right moves.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Fuzzy, you're probably aware that I'm not your biggest fan, but I do have to say that it shows admirable evenhandedness that your best and worst members of Congress both contain a good partisan/ideological mix.

I certainly believe that Scripture forbids any sexual activity outside a man and a woman married to each other.  I say this because there are people who assert otherwise.  I've covered that part of the question, and I would simply state that (A) this has never been suggested by any theologians that get any attention until recently, and (B) it's not sanctioned in Scripture.  I certainly think that the burden of proof is on those who would assert that sexual activity other than that between a man and his female wife is justified by Scripture.

As to public policy:  While I would not have voted for SSM if I were a legislator, I do not advocate it's repeal now.  I view it as a fait acompli, and the disruption to the lives of not just the married couples, but children involved, would be a horror show, and it would not be good for anyone involved.  The Court has spoken in Obergefell, and while I consider it an awful case of Judicial Activism, I consider the issue of SSM to be a personal moral issue at this point; if you enter into such a union, that's on you.

In secular employment and housing, I do not view discrimination as OK.  I do believe, however, that it is not "hate speech" to preach a Biblical view of the subject.  Nor do I believe that churches should be forced to conduct any marriage that contradicts their doctrine, and I don't believe a church should be forced to hire any person whose lifestyle reflects the opposite of doctrine.  I am not going to harass or bug people for their lives.  What's not OK is exerting pressure on me to condone and affirm something I believe to be un-Biblical.  I'll live and let live; I'll not ask and I won't tell.  But I won't affirm what God has not sanctioned.  I am also not OK with the public school system teaching the subject as if this is comparable to Civil Rights victories in the 1960s.  The Bible is unambiguous on this subject, just as much as it is unambiguous on the question of racial equality.  (Indeed, Scripture recognizes only one race, the Human race.)  

My 14 year old granddaughter has "come out".  She lives in Ohio, so what I see is on Facebook.  She loves me very, very much, and I love her incredibly.  I don't know how permanent this is, but it may be permanent.  And I will love her no matter what.  I will say, however, that the question of what I would do if she, or any of my other grandchildren for that matter, decide to marry a partner of the same sex.  I want them to be loved and to be happy.  But I also know what God has ordained in Scripture on this subject.  I ponder what the Scriptural consequences are for someone who, by entering into a SSM, positions themself and their spouse (from my Scriptural perspective) in direct disobedience to God, Himself.  To structure one's life in direct opposition to God's Word is to defy his authority, and, at a certain point, suggests that you really don't believe that He is Lord and God.  Can God treat a rebel as a believer?  It would break my heart to not be able to be at her wedding for such reasons, but it would break my heart even more to ponder what I would think if I said nothing and condoned her rebellious position toward God that would lead her into an Eternal Hell.  If my hope for ProudModerate2 is that he be saved and have Eternal Life through Jesus Christ, how much more do I want THAT for my children and grandchildren.

Scripture says "Insofar at it lies within you, live peaceably with all men."  I try to do that, and I generally succeed.  You asked what my opinion is of homosexuality in general.  If I were to sum it all up in one sentence it would be something like "I'm OK with it, but God isn't."  And I'm not God.  It really isn't me a person has to get approval from.  

This is a tough question, and my answer is complex.  I am balancing a number of important principles here.  I hope people will understand that. 

I do wish to make it clear that I do not approve of discrimination against LGBT due to sexual orientation in matters of employment (with the exception of working in ministry for a place of worship), housing, and health insurance.  I also don't approve of bullying or harassing persons for being LGBT at any age, period.  People have to go to school and they have to go to work.  I do believe that this is a pretty unremarkable statement, but I am stating this so there is no misunderstanding as to my position.

Fuzzy, you're probably aware that I'm not your biggest fan, but I do have to say that it shows admirable evenhandedness that your best and worst members of Congress both contain a good partisan/ideological mix.

Congressmen and Senators are scumbags for different reasons, some of which have little to do with ideology.

Hunter will leave Congress soon.  To replace him, I'd nominate Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-FL) to take his place.  He's been a grifter ever since he was almost unanimously impeached as a Federal Judge and removed by the Senate.  I thought of putting Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) in the list, but at least he's entertaining.  Of Mitt Romney in 2012, Gohmert once said, "Whether you're conservative, moderate, or liberal, he's been on your side at one time or another."  That's a hysterical line on one level, but surprisingly accurate on another.

I'm surprised that you list Barbara Lee, since I recall from an "Opinion of" thread long ago that you expressed a positive view of her, because of her consistent opposition to foreign wars. Though of course, given her very socially progressive views on other issues like abortion and gay rights, I would suspect that there would be some tension. But otherwise, I agree with you. Green is indeed a clown-he reminds me of the late R&B singer Barry White, but in a unflattering way. Swalwell is one of the most arrogant and close-minded members of Congress.

Cotton, in my view, is a racist-his opposition to the First Step Act makes this clear, and he is definitely a warmonger. I agree with you about Omar and Tlaib, both of whom I believe to be anti-Semites. Waters is a deeply corrupt and deeply unethical individual, Hirono is arrogant and seems to have a bias against men and people of religiosity, King of course is a white nationalist and a conspiracy theorist, and Hunter (on his way out the door) is corrupt and now a convicted felon. Schiff of course, is "shifty" (Trump's nickname is a perfect descriptor of him!) and Hyde-Smith is definitely a reprehensible character.

At any rate, I have a few more questions for you: Out of the remaining Democratic candidates, who do you support the most? And would you vote for Joe Biden if he became the nominee (as it seems he will)?

[Fuzzy Bear]

- If you had to describe your ideology how would you describe it (in a sentence or less)

The first Republican I ever voted for was Republican James Gillum for Sheriff.

The first Republican I voted for at the top of the ticket was Jeb Bush in 1998.

The first Republican I voted for for President was George W. Bush in 2000.

Jeb in 1998 was the only GOP Gubenatorial candidate I supported.
