I had real hope that he would be the person to shift the party closer to the rational middle. So far he seems to be an empty suit leftist.
Star rises? This man has ridden the coattails if others work to a make work appointment.
Buttigieg falsely claimed that roads are racist.
He quoted a discredited book that claimed bridges were built low in New York to prevent minorities from going to the beach.
It’s unbelievable someone with no experience could be put in charge of supply chains and transportation. He is an abject failure on this.
You live in Indianapolis….
You can easily look at the interstate system and notice how they conveniently were placed to split the white areas of the city with the minority areas of the city…. 65/70 are both this way…
You are being purposefully obtuse in your comment
@James
And you can easily look at the entire interstate system and realize that rural communities were far more negatively impacted by the development of the interstate system than urban areas. Get real. Farmland was split up and small towns are now completely bypassed.
Rich, to quote John McEnroe, you cannot be serious. It’s plainly obvious what was done. People were red-lined into certain parts of town, then interstates were constructed through those parts of town.
I think the 80’s were a heck of a lot harder on farmers than the construction of the interstate highway system decades earlier but what do I know?
https://www.iowapbs.org/iowapathways/mypath/farm-crisis-1980s
@James,
The interstate system was designed to facilitate movement between cities. To suggest that the interstates were designed to split the racial makeup of a city is 100% race-washing.
@DJ, perhaps you should better understand redlining in our city, and how it was a precursor to how then interstate system was then planned through our city… Then you would understand the city planning over the last 50 years
Books are free at the library, and you can also attend community sessions where these concepts are debated in a mature and lively manner instead of people pretending our history did not exist on the internet like yourself.
Do you also believe that UniGov was a pure coincidence of an emergency when the city was suddenly 42% minority after the white flight?
The interstate moving people BETWEEN cities was fine.
When it came to the routes chosen to move people THROUGH cities … as James points out, the data is out there.
Unless you magically think the best routes THROUGH a town just happened to be through the poor parts of town … the ones where “those people” had been allowed to live via redlining.
https://www.wrtv.com/news/local-news/indianapolis/under-the-highway-how-interstates-divided-indianapolis-neighborhoods-and-displaced-17-000-people
The best thing Indianapolis could do is tear out all interstates within two miles of Monument Circle. You want to get TO downtown quickly? Sure. You want to go THROUGH town? Take 465.
You’ve got to be kidding! His star is rising at the same rate as Biden’s.
What an obscene puff piece for such an empty suit.
Quote: It’s both a boon and challenge to Buttigieg, who revealed in August that he was going to become a dad with husband Chasten.
Really? Who inseminated who? And who gave birth?
Nauseating, just nauseating…but welcome to secular-humanist America.
Two kids have someone in the world to provide and care for them and that’s your response.
Pro-life indeed, Bob. Would you have preferred their mom have aborted them?
And you wonder why pro-life “religious” folks are losing the culture war and their churches are closing.
Get real, Joe B. There are dozens of heterosexual couples would have been more than happy to adopt those kids. But you can be sure that, sooner or later, their real mother (and maybe father) will come out and sell her story to the tabloids for big bucks…something she wouldn’t be able to do if those two homosexuals hadn’t adopted them.
Your ignorance of pro-life folks and closing churches is astounding, Joe B. Pro-life folks in fundamentalist churches who are not following society’s foolish, God-denying trends are in growing congregations. The dying churches, the mainline ones, are those who are embracing the sinfulness of this culture, especially as regards abortion on demand and homosexual “normalcy.”
But you’ll be happiest when all traces of Christianity are banished from our culture, won’t you? And what will replace Judaeo-Christian values when each person is their own god and answers only to themselves as the highest authority? Do you really think a nation can long survive with 350,000,000 gods?
Actually, Bob, they’re not.
“The latest available data from the General Social Survey, a major tool for sociologists, shows that the percentage of mainline Protestants in the U.S. recently increased for the first time in nearly 30 years, from 10.2% to 10.8%, while Catholics and evangelicals showed a moderate decline. Researchers caution that subsequent data would be needed to verify a trend. Yet the graph of steady, relentless decline, stopped by a sharp recent uptick, can’t be ignored.”
https://religionnews.com/2021/03/31/behind-gallups-portrait-of-church-decline/
Bob, I don’t know where you get your news, but I am consistently amazed that when you assert something, it takes 25 seconds to find out that … you’re wrong. Maybe the latest Charleston Chew or whatever you’re quoting from these days isn’t out yet.
I was in church again this weekend, Bob. I go most weekends.
What would make me the happiest is a culture full of Christian churches that followed the now-radical teachings of Jesus Christ… as opposed to the Christian nationalist nonsense that is permeating fundamentalist churches these days. It’s a church that’s not focuses on outreach to the poor or saving souls (unless they’re not-yet-born babies, which matter a lot until birth after which no one cares about them), it’s a church that has lost hope in their eternal reward and has focused instead on political power for decades, culminating in their sellout to, of all people, Donald Trump. “Two Corinthians” indeed.
We don’t have a Judeo-Christian culture these days and that’s the problem. We have a lot of people worshiping themselves, not caring one whit for their fellow man, going on and on about their “freedoms” and how their selfish desires matter more than society. Spend some time in the New Testament (or look at the booming Burmese churches in Indianapolis) and you will see that is NOT what the early Church as about – it’s about community and working together. You talk about that these days and you’re labelled a socialist.
Jesus allowed himself to be crucified to pay the penalty for all our sins … beaten almost to death, nails through his hands and feet, pierced with a sword, and we go on about we can’t be bothered to wear a mask in the grocery store to protect our fellow man. It’s pitiful.
For all your bloviating, Joe, you never did answer this question:
And what will replace Judaeo-Christian values when each person is their own god and answers only to themselves as the highest authority? Do you really think a nation can long survive with 350,000,000 gods?
And I never did hear you mention that the primary purpose of the church is to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ; that whoever believes on Him will be saved and have eternal life….not by doing good works, “lest any man should boast.”
I am offended by your constant blathering about pro-lifers not caring about babies after they are born. You are blatantly ignorant of the work down by Women’s Care Center of Indianapolis and other such charities…as opposed to the murder of God’s created souls at the hands of bloody abortionists apparently endorsed by you. (Go ahead, tell me you don’t endorse that.)
We can agree on one of your statements: We don’t have a Judaeo-Christian culture these days and that’s the problem. We have a lot of people worshiping themselves, not caring one whit for their fellow man….
As I was saying about each person being their own god…or were you too possessed with making your next point that you failed to see that, and understand its ramifications?
Bob, I am glad you’re offended. It might mean that deep down, you know I am right. You know well my stance on life, which I’ve well established to be broader than yours. (Though, admittedly, I have lost patience with the anti vaxers.) I’m not ignorant of any charity work, I’m simply aware that it’s not nearly enough and doesn’t even come close to the solving the problem. (Seen the murder rate lately?)
As far as what will replace Judeo-Christian values, we’ve passed the point. It’s over and has been for a few years now, this is not a Christian country.
Christianity has ceded its moral high ground in this country, the majority of Americans don’t care one whit what a Christian leader has to say. They view them as hypocrites.
The way to re-establish the moral high ground is not via judges and politicians passing laws, it’s via doing what Jesus called us to do on earth, which is live for eternity and help the poor, not to live solely for this world. Do that for a generation, long after the current rotten leadership is dead, and maybe you’ll have people respecting Christians again.
Mayor Pete’s only experience with transportation is cutting the ribbon for a new bike trail in South Bend. Our nation is experiencing a supply chain crisis like none other. What is our Secretary of Transportation doing? He’s hiding within his paternity leave since August and the WH administration defends this lack of inaction. In times of crises, what do leaders do? They step up! So far, Mayor Pete has only stepped out. He’s way in over his head.
Is Pete back from his 3 month vacation?
Congrats, Chuck. You continue to remind us all why we can’t wait for boomers to no longer participate in society!
James, aren’t you and Joe B late for a cop hate rally somewhere?
Cop hate rally … wasn’t the last one of those on January 6th, back when it turned out a lot of people didn’t really support the police, since they were OK with traitors beating them up for doing their job protecting Congress from a coup attempt?
Funny how the people talking about the rule of law actually want no such thing.
@chuck take your AON talking points elsewhere.
Your entire generation ruined the country while enjoying the fruits of your pillaging.
My generation gets to try to clean it all up while you cry about the world going downhill (fallout from your pillaging)
Pete is an abject failure and there is no amount of polishing that will otherwise improve someone unqualified and clearly ineffective in his role. He optimizes the principle for which he shares a first name.
