It was an important moment for the 14 commissioners who had campaigned under the banner of the Sumner County Constitutional Republicans. The group had waged a political war on fellow Republicans they viewed as insufficiently conservative in this fast-growing region north of Nashville during a bitter primary a few months before.

Sumner County borders Macon County on the west. The northern part of the county already was conservative, but the southern part where most of the population and the county seat is has always struck me as being liberal as hell. But then again, Gallatin is a bedroom community of Nashville.
Gallatin is the only place I was ever given a hard time by ordinary citizens for not wearing a mask during the covid farce and when they locked that town down during that time, the citizens dutifully obeyed their masters. It was funny, I'd take Lisa to a doctor's appointment in Gallatin, leaving Macon County where people were going about their daily lives like nothing was happening, then driving down to Gallatin and finding the streets deserted and shops closed.
This is the way...local local local
ReplyDeleteWere the people in Macon dropping like flies? Were the people in Gallatin staying healthy? I'm gonna go out on a limb here and just take a guess,, the people who were going about living were no more likely to get the WuHu Flu than the people who were living scared. Aaand there they were, living in close enough proximity to SEE what was happening and the obedient simply couldn't see that they were doing a buncha stuff that meant nothing.
ReplyDeleteI'm just guessing, because I wasn't there..
The mask BS was on full display in Pigeon Forge too (but nowhere else this tourist encountered while driving all over the eastern side of the state).
ReplyDelete"Judeo-Christian" is antichristian bull. The modern adherents of "talmudism" (the proper name for a religion that relies exclusively on the Talmud, not the Torah, for its rules and confession of faith) who cling to a name that identifies them solely with ONE of the twelve tribes of ancient Israel (Judah, specifically) have absolutely nothing to do with the true Chosen sons and daughters of Abraham. They scoff at people who follow the old laws and call them fools obsessed with "Hebrewism" and they have made abortion a sacrament. Judaism as defined and recognized today came approximately six CENTURIES after Christ's death and Resurrection. Until the 2nd century AD scholars cannot identify a period where there were two separate religions "Judaism" (or phariseeism and Sadduceeism, perhaps) and Christianity. "Christians" were the genetic and adopted children of Abraham, sealed through the covenant with Christ Jesus. Then rabbinic Judaism started, and the people who continued to obey God and Jesus our Lord foolishly allowed those satanic monsters to lay claim to the heritage that rightfully belongs to the followers of Christ Jesus the Messiah. Suffice to say that "Judeo-Christian" is a rhetorical trick worthy of the Father of Lies himself, and now that I've grown and learned, I look back on the days when I used it myself with shame and regret. It stinks of sulfur to me now. And blasted conservatives (who excel only in losing more slowly, and insisting on being "civil" whilst you object to your daughter's rape) just continue to use it. Like they continue insisting that it's only *illegal* immigration that's a problem. No. It's the 1965 immigration and naturalization act. That's the problem. Has been for almost 50 years. Makes me sick.
ReplyDelete"Until the 2nd century AD ..."
DeleteWould you care to rephrase or explain that sentence? Otherwise, how do you explain John the Baptist, or the conversion of Paul, or the first occurance of the use of the phrase, Christian (reference to people of certain belief), each of which occured well before 2 AD?
Anon@4:09:
DeleteWell BEFORE 2 AD?
You've apparently never opened a bible, have you? John the Baptist was a cousin to Jesus Christ and Paul's conversion occurred well after Christ was crucified.
Obviously, I erred by not typing 'century' in the last sentence of my previous comment. It is obvious in that my comment was centered on a specific sentence ('2nd century') you had written.
DeleteStill, I would like you to explain your comment vis a vis the three examples I gave.
I'm not the anon who replied to you. I'm the anon who wrote the original message/post. "Christian" was no different than "follower of the Sadducees" or Pharisees, etc, etc. The closest approximation/comparison I can make that you might understand is Lutheran and Anglican. Same faith, but with disagreements and differences of opinion.

It is only after 200AD (you can even check Wikipedia, if you want sources. I'm not doing your work for you, only for you to declare the source invalid. Wikipedia is as converged a source as can be imagined, and even they have had to acknowledge this historical fact about Judaism and Christianity) that we have any records indicating anyone considering Christians as anything other than a variety of Hebrew/Israelite belief. Aka (now known as) Jews. After the temple fell, and the Christ deniers had to face the fact that either the prophecies were false, or they'd helped kill the Messiah...they concocted a twisted, satanic mirror image of the faith of Abraham, Isaac, and David...a faith that used the Torah as a propaganda shield, and for a cloak of legitimacy, but which had the Talmud as a corrupt, demonic heart and foundation. That faith, in its modern form, began in 600 AD. Clear enough for you? Cool.
It is Biblical fact that Jews and Christians have opposite values. "Judeo-Christian values" goes beyond oxymoron and is just nonsense, so then you have to ask for what agenda.
ReplyDeleteGallatin used be a lot more conservative. Hendersonville, always liberal, got overfull and bled over into Gallatin, & now it's pretty leftist as well.
