DeSantis tells CPAC to 'put on full armor of God,' says 'shield of faith' will protect them from the Left
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis told one of the largest national annual gatherings of conservative activists this week to put on a “full armor of God” as he vowed to lead the charge to make 2022 “the year that America fought back” against what he called the “woke” Left.
Considered a contender for a potential 2024 Republican presidential run, Desantis spoke at the 2022 Conservative Political Action Conference Thursday in Orlando, arguing that America should be concerned about the left’s embrace of “wokeism” and attempts to “marginalize” conservative views from the mainstream culture.
DeSantis also took shots at the Joe Biden presidency, further raising speculation that he plans to launch a bid for the Republican nomination for president in 2024.
“All told, he’s had the worst first year of any president since the 1800s,” DeSantis asserted.
He criticized the agenda of congressional Democrats, saying their agenda would have become a reality “if they had just elected a couple more U.S. Senators.”
Currently, the U.S. Senate is a 50-50 split between the two parties, making it difficult for progressives to enact their preferred policy proposals even though they have a slight majority since Vice President Kamala Harris casts the tie-breaking vote.
“They were going to pack the U.S. Supreme Court. They were going to make D.C. a state so they would have two radical, left-wing Democrat senators for life,” he said. “They were going to abolish the electoral college so California could … elect the president, and they wanted to federalize fraudulent ballot practices.”
DeSantis argued that Democrats’ congressional ambitions attempt to “marginalize the conservative half of the country” so they would become “powerless” to fight back against their “ideological aims.”
“The woke is the new religion of the Left, and this is what they have in mind,” he said. “That’s why they want CRT [critical race theory] because they want to divide the country. That’s why they remove statues of Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln, and Teddy Roosevelt, take George Washington’s name off schools. Because they want to erase that history.”
“They want to delegitimize our founding institutions and they want to replace that with their left-wing ideology as the foundational principles of our modern-day society,” he continued.
He contended that many American institutions — the media, academia and “Big Tech” — have bought into the tenets of “wokeism.”
The governor urged the crowd to help make “2022 the year that America fought back,” vowing to “lead the charge here in Florida.”
He maintained that such an effort would require people to “put on that full armor of God, to stand firm against the left’s schemes.” He predicted: “you’ll be met with flaming arrows, but the shield of faith will stop them.”
DeSantis remarked, “there is no substitute for courage.”
He praised those who have the “courage” to stand up against “cancel culture,” “corporate media narratives,” “Big Tech” and the Biden administration.
DeSantis also declared victory over “Faucism,” touting Florida's approach to dealing with the coronavirus pandemic, which has received pushback from liberals.
With relatively lax COVID-19 mitigation policies, DeSantis said the state had attracted a multitude of new residents during the coronavirus and became a top vacation destination for those seeking refuge from restrictive coronavirus lockdowns and politicians who supported such policies.
He attributed Florida's popularity to the fact that his administration “refused to let this state descend into some type of Faucian dystopia where people’s freedoms are curtailed and their livelihoods are destroyed.”
“We protected people’s rights. We protected people’s jobs. We protected small businesses, and we made sure that every kid in the state of Florida had an opportunity to go to school in person, five days a week,” he proclaimed.
“In Florida, we reject the biomedical security state, which erodes liberty, harms livelihoods and divides our society. And we not only reject it if it’s government, we have done things like ban vaccine passports and mandates because it’s unacceptable to simply subcontract out … Faucism to big companies.”
DeSantis repeatedly mentioned Dr. Anthony Fauci, the head of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, who became the public face of the U.S. government’s efforts to fight the coronavirus pandemic and advocated for measures such as mask mandates, lockdowns and in-person worship restrictions to stop the spread of the disease.
Florida resisted the calls to implement such measures throughout most of the pandemic, leading DeSantis to declare that “Florida has defeated Faucism.”
“Freedom has prevailed in the Sunshine State,” he said, as the crowd erupted into applause.
“My duty is to stand up and protect the freedoms and the jobs of the people I represent and if that puts me in political jeopardy, then so be it. I will stand with them. I’m not going to try to protect my own hide.”
DeSantis’ speech touched on other contentious debates in American politics, including whether trans-identified biological males should be able to compete in female athletic competitions because they identify as female.
“We in Florida were one of the first states to stand up and protect women’s athletics,” he said. “We’re not going to let our young girls and our women athletes have opportunities denied for them because of ideology and political correctness.”
Speaking on another controversial topic he and the Florida legislature have addressed, DeSantis told the crowd about how the state banned the teaching of critical race theory in public classrooms. At the time the bill was passed last June, DeSantis said it would prevent the teaching of curricula that could “distort historical events.”
“Because we will not spend taxpayer money to teach our kids to hate our country or to hate each other, we have banned [critical race theory] in K-12 education,” DeSantis told CPAC.
“Instead, we have the most robust civics education anywhere in the country. We’re going to have citizenship exams for graduating seniors, and we’re giving teachers the opportunity to go through a civics boot camp and get a $3,000 bonus.”
CPAC concludes with a straw poll, where the attendees indicate which hypothetical Republican presidential candidate they support.
Former President Donald Trump won last year’s straw poll with 55% of the vote, while DeSantis came in second with 21%. If Trump did not run, DeSantis would become the frontrunner, with 43% of respondents expressing support for the Florida governor. The second-place finisher in the straw poll, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, received 11% support.

If you bothered to read your bible, Jesus was "woke". Maybe you should take the hint. I'd start with the Sermon On The Mount. Jesus wasn't a Republican or a capitalist.
Do I need to explain the implications of your god supposedly being omniscient and omnipotent, or can you figure that out?
DeSantis sounds like a fricking crackpot
He is exactly right about every last word he spoke in that speech. People like him and ideals like his are why the woke left will never win America over to their failed secular religious ideology. He is what you get from us if we don’t give to Trump instead because he doesn’t run again.
And he's a young, proven commodity. We'll gladly take him!
And l loved his reference to God and Christian basics in his call to battle against the woke secular left. [Deleted]
You are talking about our next president.
That’s the bottom line for these people. We are going to give them Trump or De Santis to replace their discredited sleaze bag scum that occupies the White House now. Let’s go Brandon will have a whole new meaning on Jan 20, 2025!
I have to say Joe was a huge disappointment. Going from a moderate to a far left wing nut almost overnight. It will be tough when historians try to choose between him and Carter as to who is the worst president ever.
He was never truly a moderate. He was a genuine liberal Union pro working class liberal at least until he became VP. People still thought of him as a regular liberal not a progressive the squad crack pot. He abandoned to traditional liberal image he spend a lifetime cultivating in the hopes of cramming through 51-50 and endless series of FDR like transformations in search of a legacy. Instead he wins displacing Carter as the worst post civil war president ever
He is a crackpot preaching to people who are dumb enough to vote for him. This is a speech about electing him as the most sane man in a psych hospital.
If you don’t want Trump then he is what the alternative is to replace Biden in 24. After CPAC though, it’s all Trump right now!
I will not be voting republican in this lifetime and the next doesn't look good either. Biden is acceptable but I'd rather have a real progressive such as Bernie.
Gov. John Kasich was a TEAparty bootlick and he looks possibly intelligent and pragmatic compared to these nutjobs. There is not a single republican that I could vote for. The last Republicans I voted for were either Ralph Regula or George Voinovich. They would be blue-dog democrats now.
Yup, I can see you're all ready for 2024.
Well he has a choice between him or Trump….
Florida is a popular destination because it has a nice weather 365 days a year
So does coastal California. Yet we were not a tourist magnet in those lockdown/mandate/ Passport sections of the state. In my area https://visitredding.com, tourism was its usual strong self but we live Florida style here. Greater Idaho!
Desantis shoveled shit to CPAC and they gobbled it.
He told the truth and the secular progressive wokevleft can’t stand it that he/we do openly speak and show our sheer and utter contempt for that ideology and it’s leaders.
Yes, we know some conservatives have contempt for their fellow citizens. Go back into those small rural communities you all love and please shut the door behind you. Contempt away-there.
We saw the contempt the left holds for us north of the border in Ottawa a couple weeks ago and understand that they’d do that to us here too in a heart beat if only they could.
Now that's some spin you have there. Are we "all Canadians" NOW?
So stupid. I am glad I am "woke" and not just stupid. And for this 'thing' to wrap itself in spirituality while demonizing and otherizing innocent, decent people is shockingly stupid.
Otherizing is what the woke secular left and it’s cancel culture do to all of us who presume to dare to stand up to and oppose their dogma.
We grant some conservatives the freedom to be conservative (in Redding, is it?), but y'all are not content to be small and regional. It is you all who insist on controlling the lives of people who live 'world-class' and otherwise would not even know y'all were alive-if you simply stay behind your isolation walls. Of course, some conservatives, otherize and demonize liberals. Own up to your 'shit.' And vice-versa. Though, need I even need to bother with which so-called party 'started' the maligning in the first place? Why bother. Some conservatives are purveyors of it now!
Maybe you should just have been happy to stay regional and not encroached on people living their "world class" lives.
you grant us? No, God did that per the Declaration of Independence. What were you and Newsome going to do? Send in state police and regulatory agencies personnel from disease wracked urban areas to compel obedience? Well that was going to happen in late Sept/Oct 2020 when we finally hit purple but then the coastal urban areas got hit hard by the 2nd wave and they had to keep their own in line and close outdoor dining and go full gestapo in LA.
Why take the worst 'case' to just continue on? I won't bother explaining farther on the obvious meaning of that.
Some of us live in urbane settings and we are not going to apologize for it Furthermore, without us what outlets to the world is there? Cities, are where people congregate in large populations and where greater commerce is carried out for the good of us all!
Irresponsible rhetoric is all that is.
Do you have any idea what you are talking about? You seem to be shot gunning all over the place.
That should save you a headache
*Sputter* much? Concentrate on the content of your comment and less on my 'state' if you don't mind.
I don't need to concentrate on my response, it was very clear. It is your response to my comment that is not coherent. If you don't want me to focus on your comment to me I suggest you don't respond to me at all.
Yes, you need to concentrate more on content and less on repartee. I digress. For example:
Cities, are where people congregate in large populations and where greater commerce is carried out for the good of us all!
Is the above statement true or false?
That has nothing to do with my comment and seems like nothing more than a poor diversion attempt. I won't follow you down your rabbit hole.

Otherizing is what the secular left and it’s woke cancel culture do to we who dare to stand up to and either disagree with or oppose their statist dogma.
The founding fathers, were they alive in their graves, would be grimacing now. How STUPID is it to think that 18th century representative democracy can supersede present day democracy. Just patently stupid. A static constitution is stupid. But, I am pretty sure I know why some conservatives wish to believe and hold to a static constitution. . . .
If the founding fathers were alive in their graves they would have more pressing issues than thinking about if 18th century representative democracy can supersede present day democracy. But it is nice of you to think you can speak for them.
Yet, here you are supporting 18th century democracy above the times in which you dwell and the people amongst who you exist. Time to move away from the past: let it die for once and for all! Oh and as for the founding fathers, it is impossible for any one of them to be alive in the grave. Why? Because graves are for the dead!
You are done speaking for the dead founding fathers and have moved on to speaking for me? Interesting.
You are the living representative of what you hold dear? Why don't you know this? Moreover, I was not speaking for the founding fathers! They are dead men and I fully understand what that means to today's world. The issue for today, is some conservatives are attempting to hold the founding fathers up as SENTINELS to modern society. That goes beyond the role of founders-who begin a foundation for others to BUILD something better and beyond!
he does that a lot when his faulty logic is exposed...
He must do that alot then. Between that and his circular logic it is impossible to have a discussion with him.
Oh, sorry, I thought it was you that said "The founding fathers, were they alive in their graves, would be grimacing now."
Pretty sure the sarcasm of them having more pressing things if they were alive in their grave went a tad over his head also.
Yes, you are right! 👏👍Oops!
Thanks to Ron De Santis for putting such a great and awesome overt to God, religion, and Christianity in his CPAC speech. Well done!
Continue to talk amongst yourselves. . . .
Thank you for granting us permission.

You're welcome.
The Constitution is not static, in any way shape or form, It was designed this way.. The problem with your side of the aisle is that it doesn't change fast enough for you... You need consensus to change the constitution, and without consensus, it shouldn't be changed... Your side cannot accept this...
That is the major problem with the left and leftists in general...
That’s the bottom line here. We have two ways to change or amend the constitution and if there is consensus on a change then it has been made. It’s not some living document that changes based on the whim of a judge who suddenly decides it has been all wrong for 200+ years
I am sure you think you said something useful there, but if consent is not given where progress is essential, what good and how valuable is consent that never appears?
Some conservatives see themselves as benefiting from a static constitution.
That sounds like something Putin would say to his people before invading another country.
The logic is thus...
IF the proposed "progress" is perceived as good, the majority of people will see it and come to a consensus, accept it and effectuate the change...
IF the proposed "progress" isn't perceived as good, then they will not come to a consensus, and hence no change...
What is happening on the left, is YOU have decided what is good for everyone and are trying by any means you deem necessary to FORCE the change that is nowhere near consensus... That is the definition of authoritarianism...
In this nation, Government works by the consent of the governed... If the governed don't consent in the majority it just plain doesn't happen... It's when that minority proposing the "progress" tries to FORCE it's will upon everyone else where good governance breaks down into anarchy...
When government gets so large that it is capable of forcing it's will onto the citizens, then it is time for one of Thomas Jefferson's revolutions... (which weren't armed revolutions BTW)
I believe we are about to see one of Jefferson's "revolutions" come this November, much like we saw one in 2010...
Your 'consent' can not be our damnation any more than my consent can be yours. Progress is essential for a growing world.
YES! Progress that EVERYONE, (or most everyone) CAN AGREE ON.... And you are expressing your great disdain for that...
Sounds more like you are off-topic, but maybe that is just me.
BTW, and this is relevant, despite the obliqueness, where do you stand on the January 6, 2021 capitol hill invasion? Was it an insurrection or patriot "duty"? (If you choose to answer the question, I will follow-up. If not, I will take it for granted you merely choose to by-pass on moving forward in discussion.)
Much of what is promised to be "progress" is not, and much of what is advertised as "essential" is not.
Perceptions, at some point and time, can be like flies buzzing around and on top of a dog shit pile. What do you wish to be, part of the solution or continuation of the problem 'society'? That is what you have to ask yourself while standing hidden in the 'pack'! Didn't you tell me you stood a moral high ground in the 60's with Dr. King? Or is that someone else? Just let me know which man you are so I can address him sufficiently! Dr. King changed the surrounding political environment through the force of his rhetoric and attending actions. . . . A minority voice that was proven to be morally correct!
Do what is morally correct and nudge the nation forward, instead of dreaming of holding back the tide from those whom some conservatives merely choose to despise for no other (good) reason!
I'm curious about your connecting "progress" to "Constitutional changes". What Constitutional change are you referring to?
Why would those be the only choices?
It's just you.
You see this is where I differ on Dr King with YOUR PERCEPTION OF DR KNG...
Dr King was a leader, a leader who scared the bejesus out of the political establishment of the day.. WHY?
A SEARCHER of consensus tries thru logic to force others to come to agreement, a MOLDER of consensus achieves it by plainly stating the truth and allow others to make their own determination of the truth of what it presented...
Dr King was a MOLDER of consensus, you are a SEARCHER of consensus, your strategy will never lead to a consensus, hence why you have to FORCE your view on everyone else... And that is the typical leftist paradigm, you look at what they want and it is neither truthful nor just, this is why they have to resort to force to get what they want...
You do not represent what the good Dr represented... Despite your loud proclamations of the righteousness and morality of your cause...
When the people agree the country changes, when they don't it won't.... The people and I, agreed with Dr King, we don't agree with you...
And thank you for pointing out the perfect example of what consensus is and isn't...
Agree to progress and stop 'butchering' discussion!
Whatever are you going on about now? Get a point!
Progress for progress's sake is insanity.... No one agree to "progress" without some understanding of where said progress is going to lead...
If there is genuine consensus that said progress is essential then it will happen. It was not designed to be changed upon a whim of a slight majority at one point in time to cram its will down the throat of a minority at the time.
If it were static there would not be 17 amendments added since the bill of rights were added as a condition of it being accepted by some of the states.
Progress according to you? Progress according to me? Only progress that is believed in by both of us at the same time along with many believing as each of us does that things for the greater good can be done.
The topic is actually the content of gov. De Santis speech to CPAC about his ideas and actions as Governor of Florida.
Come on, be nice. We can agree to disagree or have differences of outlook and opinion and still treat each other with common decency and respect.
It is not butchering the discussion to agree about progress but have different ideas as to what constitutes progress. Neither conservatives nor progressives will tolerate the other imposing diametrically opposed visions for the country upon all of it either by law or regulation or court ruling or constitutional amendment. That’s why a weaker federal government with each living as it sees fit in their own county or city is a better model. The speaker whose words we are talking about is expressing opposition to top down cram downs of secular progressive oppression upon the rest of us.
Says who, you? What is this jealousy of other people and the things they do with their freedoms (different from your own)?
Then ignore it Texan. I qualified my statement quite nicely, nevertheless.
A broad spectrum of twenty-something century happenings, Jack_TX. You can pick any one of those from its list.
Nice dodge. Keep up the good work. /s
Projection REJECTED.
I would ask you the same question about "progress" and "essential".
It's a massive and bizarre projection on your part.
Exactly whom do you imagine is the subject of my "jealousy"??
Not so much.
As you've seen, these conversations go better when you actually say something concrete that we can discuss.
So again, in what way do you want the Constitution changed? Be specific.
Conservatives did not agree with Dr. King, Medgar Evers, Bobbie Kennedy, or John F. Kennedy and thus they were each assassinated and in each case, change was the benefit reciprocal. But, keep up this farce of trying to foist revision of Dr. King as some peace-lover without an object of civil rights and better treatment for his people and by extension all people of our mutual shared country.
Why would it be a dodge? There are plenty of other alternatives besides the two batshit extremist options you offered.
I am not going to dignify that remark. Let's move on. (If you do not follow the use of the term "static" as opposed to "living" in discussions about the constitution, I don't have the time to squander on it. We can talk about the two terms usages after you 'catch up.'
You can not expect cities dwellers to exist as farmers and plains people, Jefferson. It simply won't work. We have a "diversity" of values and it should be appreciated whether than contested at every 'turn.'
If you are not jealous of our liberties to be diverse and progress, what is the problem? What are you striving against with me, us?
Nice dodge x2.
Nowhere man was right about all that he said.
Why can't you just pick on or several of those "culture war" issues that conservatives like to marshall conservatives around? Off the top of my head, I would say - abortion and a women's right to choose. (ATTENTION! It is beyond the scope of this article and a big issue all its own.) Perhaps Jefferson (you know his attitude better than I do I presume) won't mind—I did offer you to name your own twentieth century something for yourself, however.
Exactly. My ideas on the matter are neither of those.
I never said that. I know we have a diversity. That’s why we need to reach consensus that urban coastal and heartland rural people all agree upon in order to in any way change the constitution.
I am not jealous of liberty and diversity. The problem is when your side defines what you believe “progress” to be and then try to impose it upon us without any input or say so from us. We will strive against you trying to do that to us as long as we have our present republic. Period.
Why would you answer in the abstract? I will respond to you directly. The founders of the Constitution made provision in the document (the amendment process) because they realized and accepted their place in time and space for what it was. That which would recede into history according to life itself. These men were not seeking SAINTHOOD on earth nor MAGNIFICATION of their egos. They wanted so much more. The purposeful unification of people from across the world into a place they could (all) call "home."
In a sense they were ahead of their time. The processes they lived through and endured to "perfect" a union of states for those who come after them were products of their time, former national cultures, and lacks of 'knowing.' None of which is an issue for us today:
Therefore, some conservatives, of your own volitions you CHOOSE to exist in a by-gone era, and are bothered that an entire nation can't settle down with in a return to it. Many of our citizens are bound to moving on ahead through progress.
You can not constrict your fellow citizens who inhabit the land you do into political 'bondage' - and that is what you do with when you refuse to let people enjoy the freedoms and liberties (you declare) they possess! Some conservatives, it is YOU ALL that are the embodiment of all the stresses you feel and think are radiating from liberals!
Foolish. More liberties, in fact, "max liberties" are what the founders had in mind if you peruse the document to is aspirational limits of the imagination. That is, the founders wanted MAX LIBERTIES for people in this place when they would come out of oppressive parts of the world. And they succeeded some what, but then, conservatives got for themselves "parties" and began trying to use their document for its line 'items' to suppress and 'strangle' imagination and dreams by replacing these things with dogmas and unimaginative repressions and even some new suppressions.
America was founded by divine Providence for a divine purpose in this world right up until just before the end of time. At that point we as a nation and our leaders will turn against all that the founders set up. We need to preserve our constitution and refrain from changes in it that can’t get 38 of the 50 states to ratify. We can change it when that kind of consensus emerges to make the “desired” changes. Otherwise it’s good that there are 13 liberal states and 13 conservative states that can block ratification of anything lacking a large consensus.
No it’s not. It is us opposing intolerant woke secular progressive bicoastal urban elites attempts to impose their will upon us. We aren’t telling blue state blue cities people how to live their lives. They are trying to do that to us.
Oh no! Religious Conservatives actually use the constitution to protect ourselves from the bigoted fascist excesses of the bi coastal urban secular progressive elites. How dare we defend our rights, our liberty, and our freedom. We will and we’ve got a convoy headed to DC that the war of Russian aggression has taken out of the headlines to stand up for us there soon.
Because then I would be presuming what you think instead of presuming you can express that for yourself.
I'll let him speak for himself, just as I let you.
I asked you specifically about yours. But since you don't seem to have invested the intellectual effort and have invited me to offer my own suggestions, I'd suggest the "Buffet Amendment", where anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election."
I'd also suggest the "Tax Fairness Amendment", where no American can receive more in tax credits and refunds than they have actually paid in taxes.
Nice pout.
Untrue. Why do you do that? It is some conservatives who wage political wars and invent stubborn behaviors for others to follow! You all hold back advancements in our country! You all vex the citizenry with your take-backs and 'wild exercises' about freedoms you lose (you do not) when others gain more liberties.
Stand up for you on what exactly? A convoy? Really? For what?! It is too our national disgrace that we have allowed the number of deaths to Covid-19 that have occurred. And we, you all, have no idea how many lives could have expired to this pandemic had the nation not acted to 'stay its hand' when it did! Just how far-out do you all plan to 'exercise' liberties and 'buck' governance? Protest have to be for the good and not to make empty noise for its own form or fashion.
Okay, so there is the theory, how would that work in practice? Please proceed. . . . BTW, stop being petty with the insults, because if we BOTH did it. . .you would not like me very much AT ALL! I can shovel shit with the best of them and Jack_TX you may think you have seen me 'bottom out'—you have not.
Eliminate one with an apt reply. C'mon you can do it.
And yet there is no reaching consensus with some conservatives who are in 'warring mode' all the time. Some conservatives have ostracized other conservatives who could and would compromise with those whom they perceive as "opponents."
You said...
So what your saying here is Dr King didn't preach Non-violence?
Non-violence ...
From that link I get...
He believed that Ghandi had the right way of pushing social change as a group without losing the freedoms of autonomy or individual rights...
But today, the message is twisted into something he never believed in....
King’s Message of Nonviolence Has Been Distorted ...
From that link I get...
to this...
A distortion that Kings call to non-violence is used to muzzle dissent, making it in actuality, a call to violence...
This is the dodge that Black Lives Matter uses to justify it's violence, rioting and burning.... A hate message, they have perverted Dr Kings message into a hate message...
The same message you promote here...
Nope. How could you get that wrong? And even wrong enough to bother trying to correct me? Dr. King's 'brand' was non-violence protest modeled after Ghandi of India. It's common knowledge. Why do you think you have to share that?
Beginning @6.2.67 do take note that I am pulling apart and replying to your comment before reading it completely. Now then, I have put in bold the words, "social change". . .(using the model of non-violent protests) what form of social change became Dr. King's life's work ?
Beginning @ 6.2.67 do take note that I am pulling apart and replying to your comment before reading it whole. Non-sequitar. ( It does not follow , anything Dr. King related. Why 'drop' it into this thread?) Curious.
Beginning @ 6.2.67 do take note that I am pulling apart and replying to your comment before reading it whole. Non-sequitar. Why do you drag Black Lives Matter (a discussion all its own) into this thread? They have little to nothing to do with Dr. King and his non-violent protests model (as you should well know (that I know)). Again, curious and. . .disturbing.
Bullshit. Emphatically.
And yet the most deaths and serious cases happened in the bluest states and cities that had the most lockdowns for the longest times and the strictest mask mandates, vaccine mandates, and passports. Basically the more controlling the place, the most freedoms lost were the places with most covid cases, hospitalizations, and deaths.
It was neither….period.
The exact same can be said of some progressive left who do the same to ordinary liberals who might compromise to reach some objective.
Nowhere man is exactly right about what he said here on this thread.
Did he say the armor of god will protect us? Let's roll!
As long as it is Beskar armor.... I'm down...
Otherwise I'll rely on what god actually gave us... {chuckle}
Otherwise I'll rely on what god actually gave us
Nothing?
Good idea. Great pic too!

At least Tulsi is familiar with our founding as a nation and our Declaration of Independence. Too bake the bi coastal secular progressive woke elites are trying to eradicate it from our history books.
Curious choice there for a new avatar. Are you clear on the history of the crusaders ? Unless you're a Roman Catholic you wouldn't touch that symbolism with a 10' pole. In the name of the Vatican crusaders brutalized, raped and murdered any groups that weren't Catholic. It went on from the eleventh century through the seventeenth century.
It has to do with the title of the seeded article and is that, not anything to do with the Catholic Church or the inquisition. Expand it and see what I mean.
Thread @5.1 locked for a derail into slap fighting.

im so glad we live in a country where God was central to our founding and credited with our creation and providing His Providence to bring us into being a nation. I’m glad His name is mentioned when we pledge our allegiance to our exceptional nation. I like it that people can’t use our currency with out seeing in whom we trust.
