President Bloomberg

[mojo84]

If that doesn't make you sick to your stomach, nothing will. Here are some quotes from him.

I can agree with some of his points, however his stance on guns I can never agree with. In his case, being surrounded by armed security, being against guns is hypocritical.

[VMI77]

He said it himself...he's divisive and his positions alienate half the country to start with. I see no chance of this clown ever being elected to any office less insulated by liberalism than NYC. His anti-gun advocacy can't be hidden at this point....he can't even claim to accept the 2nd amendment like the liar in chief does....and that alone will probably sink any chance he has of being elected.

He's a pathological liar. Those are talking points not principles. If it sounds like he's saying something good, that you can agree with, it's because he's a lying sociopath.

I hope he does run 3rd party so he can leech votes from Hillary.

Hillary will not be there for the general

Every one of my positions cuts out half the country. I'm pro-choice, I'm pro-gay rights, I'm pro-immigration, I'm against guns, I believe in Darwin."

The great uniter.

It appears he and I have nothing in common.

Darwin would do a lot to make his case with me if he would deal with some of these progressive liberal wackos.

I don't know what it means to "believe in Darwin." I guess I believe in him too....the historical record seems to present sufficient evidence that he existed. I wonder if he believes in Stalin, Karl Marx, and Saul Alinsky too? It seems to be a rather strange way to express a belief in a scientific theory...sort of like saying "I believe in Einstein" instead of saying "I believe in the theory of relativity."

But then, being "pro-immigration" is also a meaningless statement, as is "pro gay rights." Just another indication of what a sleazy pathological lying narcissist he is.

I wonder if he spends more money on #13 then on 14. As for #15, he's can be more effective using his wealth manipulating from the sidelines. He's a narcissist like Sorros. But at least Sorros self proclaimed being a messianic

Good one!

My comment was directed more at the "Every one of my positions cuts out half the country" part of that quote. "Cutting out" half the country is not a wise platform on which to run. Even Obama, with the condescension of his infamous "bitter clingers" quote was essentially telling his "enlightened" crowd that they needed to find ways to connect with the bitter clingers for the purposes of uniting to solve the nation's problems. Furthermore, even though he went about it in exactly the wrong way and was therefore largely ineffective at it, Obama has spent his two terms at least trying to convince doubters that they should come around to his way of thinking.

Bloomberg, by contrast, is essentially writing off anybody who disagrees with him right up front. It's an attitude which says, "I don't need to try and convince those who disagree, because they don't matter." It's a far more dangerous attitude in a chief executive than even Obama's excesses. A president who feels free to simply write off the beliefs of half the nation is a president who does not feel constrained in the least to take harsher steps against them.......steps like gun confiscations, and imprisonments without trial.

I was thinking about the phrase "believe in Darwin as well." Clearly I agree with you. I almost posted this 3 hours ago but decided to withhold my theological/philosophical opinion from the gun forum, but of course this is the "Off-topic" section.

I assume that the intent of his phraseology to was suggest that he doesn't believe in the Creator God. It seems a roundabout way to say that he doesn't believe in God. And when I thought a little deeper about it. He was saying in a way that he actually believes that Darwin's theories will save his soul from torment. In other words, he believes in Darwin for salvation (in kind of a backwards sort of way).

I am sure that he would say that he believes that Jesus was a good man and a good teacher, but that Jesus's assertions about being the son of God and the way to salvation are ridiculous. Just as I would say that I'm sure that Darwin may have been a good man and a good biologist, but his denial of the Gospel has become a source of great deception in our world.

As for me, I believe in the Bible and the Creation story. Do I know how God created the universe or the planet or the creatures. I think that He intentionally left some details out of his book, because they have nothing to do with our salvation. I wasn't there. I don't know if Darwin's theories have any merit or not. But I do believe that God sends famines and floods, meteors and ice ages and that he is in control of which species exist and for how long and for what purpose. I'm not short earther, but if God wanted to create the earth and everything in it he could certainly do it in whatever time frame he wanted, because He is not constrained by time. Time, as we know it, is a human invention anyway based on the earth's rotations and revolutions.

I was going to make an analogy more along the lines of your discussion. I didn't because I don't think Bloomy has anything but the most superficial liberal notion of what Christians believe. I don't think his locution was a reference to Jesus in the sense of what Christians believe because I don't think he understands "belief" as you do. I think he was saying "I believe in science and particularly the science of evolution."

IOW, he was saying "I believe in science, not God," and in a particular aspect of science that contradicts Biblical Christianity. However, instead of saying "I believe in evolution" he said "I believe in "Darwin" because Darwin is a man, thereby rejecting the divinity, and because it targets a specific audience: Christians who embrace Jesus and reject evolution and the liberals who hold them in contempt. Most Americans who aren't Christians or anti-Christian liberals probably don't even know who Darwin is.

Still, the statement, "I believe in science" is nearly as vapid as the statement "I believe in Darwin," especially today. When people like Bloomy say "I believe in science" what they're really saying is that "I'm not superstitious like all you rubes that believe in God." It's an expression of both moral and intellectual superiority, but it seems more than a little naive at a time when a whole lot of "science" is bought and paid for.
