    Re: History teaches us: Young Presidents are BAD PRESIDENTS!

    Bumping this thread because Pete Buttigieg is rising in the polls despite being young.

    I should point out that young presidents are especially bad in these fast-moving high-tech times. Because young people use computers, they are vulnerable to being hacked by Russian hackers and Nigerian princes.

      It's not entirely a new thing. When, aged under 21, Jean-Claude “Baby Doc” Duvalier took over the reins in Haiti things didn't turn out so hot.

        When asked the describe himself, the first thing Pete Buttigieg says is his age:




        The next thing he mentions is that he's a veteran, forgetting that Americans don't vote for veterans of losing wars. Our last veteran President was Bush Sr. a veteran of the last war we won, WW2.

          I listened for over five minutes but was unable to continue all the way through. It was at 5 minutes and 51 seconds where it started. They had been talking about Mike Pence and Buttigieg's decision to announce his homosexuality to the world. He said there was something Pence needed to understand:

          If that was a choice it was made way above my pay grade [laughter] so what he† doesn't realize is that his quarrel is with my creator [applause] My marriage‡ has moved me closer to God and I wish he respected that
          † V.P. Mike Pence
          ‡ Quoted verbatim

          "Which 'God' is that?" I wondered. I decided to read The Bible to see how things stacked up. After all, it's not as though the Creator of the universe hasn't told us how He wants homosexuals treated.
          Leviticus 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
          Abomination. That's quite a strong word. Now it could be that Buttigieg's creator didn't mind that he was an abomination. I continued reading Leviticus and will link to the whole passage below but right there in chapter 20 God explained what He wanted to happen next. This was conclusive: Buttigieg is not referring to God as presented in The Bible. He has decided that he knows better than that and made up a different creator for himself. One that's just like him.
          Leviticus 20:1,13 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying.….If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
          Buttigieg needs to explain how someone able to create the whole universe, all life in it, each and every part of every individual alive now or ever alive in the past, able to see the need for Redemption and the means to achieve it and bring that into reality so effectively (if that's what he believes) would be so incompetent in handing down instructions for the homosexuality as to cause such immense suffering over so many centuries for so many people NOT BY DEFAULT but BY THE VERY COMMANDMENT ITSELF could ever elicit feelings other than the utmost revulsion?

          Even if he claims that God overturned His commandment a couple of thousand years ago—in which case it's taken an awful long time to filter down—he still needs to account for the suffering before that and accommodate it within his belief system.

          I can't see how he can do that. Giving up the pope and rooting for the archbishop of Canterbury doesn't cut it. Neither of them follow The Bible. And since Buttigieg rejects our only source for God's justice and our only record of Jesus Christ, why does he call himself a believer at all? He must believe in something, but it isn't God.

            Young ones are the worst but really old ones are really the worst, like imagine Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren or Joe Biden. Absolute worst choice possible. I think the talking points say that now.
            If I have seen further, it is by standing on the heads of others.

              You know how people say that nations go from barbarism to civilization to decadence, and America skipped a step?

              Same thing with baby boomers, skipping from immaturity to obselecence without the wisdom stage.
