"Punk ass little bitch" is a description the appearance of this guy brings to mind. He's no more a Christian than is Dan, pretending he's doing the Lord's work by promoting what the Lord has prohibited with extreme prejudice. What this POS ignores is that opposition to harmful practices is NOT interfering with parental rights, or patient/doctor confidentiality. No one, child or otherwise, is at risk of death because perverse genital mutilation is denied them by law. There is no doubt the problem is mental and not physical and thus attacking the body will never heal the disturbed mind. Like all "progressive" fake "Christians", this guy is a liar of the worst kind...plain evil, as Glenn so accurately puts it. Dan's kinda guy.
Talarico: "I trust parents and doctors to make decisions, not politicians."
Glenn, et al, "This guy is just plain evil! " "Punk ass little b** **"
Do you all understand how crazy y'all sound... how oppressive and fascist you sound, how very little you seem to understand about God and human rights and basic kindness and decency?
When did conservatives become the party of a ruling oppressive state/big government deciding everything for families and children and parents and just regular citizens?
In the meantime the Democrat running in Maine who now has a rape allegation against him, Democrats are calling for him to step down. Demonstrating the right way to be moral and rational when it comes to politicians who are clearly sexual predators, as opposed to you all, who are rape apologists.
With much less evidence against him, we are calling for this Democrat to step down. You all continue to just turn a blind eye to the sexual predator you placed in power three times.. or tried to.
People can see the fall of Conservative Christian Nationalists. At least people who are not in your cult.
One day your eyes will be open as well. Repent now. Save yourself some grief and shame later.
What we're talking about? Parental rights. Listening to expert advice. Listening to AMA and APA for health and mental health concerns as opposed to some preacher with no medical expertise. That you all do not understand expert opinion is okay. We don't have to understand conservative cults to say, nonetheless, I support those parents to raise their children as they want, as long as they're not hurting them.
You all want to make the decisions for other people, other families, for women and people of other faiths. Again you are speaking about a super big government invading people's bedrooms and pants and panties. Shame on y'all. This is not a fringe concern. It's basic human rights, basic parental rights.
Just to point out the obvious, currently, gender affirming care for transgender folks is considered best practices by expert opinion.
This framework of care is formally endorsed by:
American Medical Association American Academy of Pediatrics The Endocrine Society American Psychiatric Association ...
So once again, why in the name of all that is holy and righteous and reasonable would we listen to a bunch of Muslim or Jewish or Christian extremists who hold the religious opinion - NOT based on expert opinion - that they disagree with the experts? Why should their opinion matter to anyone beyond themselves?
Yes, transing children is not in the top 5 issues voters are concerned about and is polling at less that 5%.
By all means, make this the centerpiece of your agenda.
The most current medical research has convinced virtually the entire continent of Europe to stop transing kids, by all means make transing kids the primary issue.
FYI, Plattner had at least one other credible rape accusation against him (in addition to the NAZI thing, the public masturbation thing, and the disturbing online comments thing) but y’all finally finally decided to stop supporting him.
Human rights and parental rights and keeping the government out of our damn bedrooms are all solid campaign-worthy issues. It's quite strange that you find this unworthy of concern. Who's the one who's out of touch?
The population at large may not really care much one way or the other about transgender youth but neither are they actively hostile to them. Only in your relatively small 30% Maga circles.
As I made it clear I never would have voted for him and yes with multiple concerns about his lifestyle choices and possible crimes, Democrats have finally drawn the line. The problem is, with even more corruption and sexual predatory behavior and perversion and indecency and just plain stupidity, y'all still support your pervert.
And that's the difference between rational adults and cult members.
The parental “right” to indulge children’s belief that mutilating their perfectly healthy bodies irreversibly isn’t that popular outside of your bubble. Please make it the centerpiece of the campaign.
Sorry. That last was for me, in case I didn't put my name on there.
As to parental rights and expert opinion being part of the Democrat agenda, the majority of Democrats support that. A slim majority of Independents support that. It's only in your circles where letting parents and experts make the call on such matters is deeply problematic.
"Parental Control: When polled about who should make the final decision regarding a minor’s access to gender-affirming care, 52% of Independents believe the decision should remain with the parents, and 22% believe it should be made by the child's doctor.State Bans: When asked about government laws that prevent parents from allowing their child to receive gender-affirming care, Independents are divided. Polling from the PRRI shows that 49% of Independents oppose such bans, while 47% support them."
If you'd educate yourself, you would see current best practices regarding age-appropriate care for transgender youth do not involve medical changes until they are adult.
Cult members like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren who were well aware of his problems when they insisted that he was the best possible candidate to beat Collins? The NY media who ignored, and downplayed at least one other credible rape accusation?

I’ll simply note that your poll numbers have no source, while the poll I linked to didn’t even mention it.
But if y’all want to run on this instead of lowering crime in urban areas, immigration legislation, and stopping corruption in federal welfare programs, you go right ahead.
The “real journalists” at the NYT chose not to follow up every lead in a credible accusation of sexual misconduct against Plattner. But now that it’s a liberal woman, y’all believe this one.
"But if y’all want to run on this instead of lowering crime in urban areas, immigration legislation, and stopping corruption in federal welfare programs..."
Perhaps unlike y'all, we can concentrate on more than one problem at a time. It's not an either-or situation. The real question is why are y'all so hateful and abusive to parents doing what they think is best for their children and listening to the experts on the topic? Why are you so hateful and abusive towards trans children and young adults? Why in the hell would we listen to you over actual medical and psychological experts? That's a fair question. Answer the question or admit there is no good reason for them to listen to you over experts. Good Lord!
And for whatever abuses you're trying to send towards Democrats, y'all are the ones who are STILL supporting a known corrupt, sexually deviant idiot accused credibly of sexual assault at least two dozen times. It may have taken the Democrats too long to step back from supporting him but we did. Y'all haven't. You're only shaming yourself.
Speaking of your idiot accusation that Democrats are not doing anything about violence. Here's a story about the Democrats in Louisville who've created policy and taken actions to drop violent crimes significantly. These are my friends and family working quite diligently to make this happen. You don't know what you're talking about.
Again, making shit up and arguing against the shit you made up.
I have listened to the experts and I have seen nothing current that says definitively that transing children is 100% the best outcome for the children.
The evidence was enough for Europe to stop transing children, but you obviously know better.
Dan's experts who we should listen to: American Medical Association American Academy of Pediatrics The Endocrine Society American Psychiatric Association ...
All left-leaning and the last is nothing but psychobabble.
There is no such thing as a "transgender" and no one should be assisting mentally ill people in their delusions. The whole anti-LGBTQ-Agenda isn't by radical Christians or Muslims, rather it is by sane people who do not deny biology and are tired of sexual perversion shoved in our faces.
It’s probably time to point out a couple of things here.
1. This post is about Talarico and his focus on how Jesus wants you to trans children, and his anti science crap about genders.
2. The fact that the two national candidates who’ve gotten national attention and unquestioned support for the DFL leadership are Talarico and Plattner who are both fringe nut jobs.
"The appropriate care is to call them to reality and quit helping them in their delusions!"
...Says the "Christian nationalist" with zero medical training or psychiatric training, and against the counsel of the AMA and APA and others who are actually experts. Once again, practices in the United States for children under 18 are not for any surgery but for other reversible or undoable supports. This can mean things as simple as: - wearing clothing that suits them - styling their hair as it suits them - choosing a name that suits them
But you all, you fascists, you want to tell them that YOU know best what their names are, not them, not their parents, not the medical experts. Well, to hell with your arrogant presumption and your graceless godless fascism.
When you say things like this you just look like a brainwashed moron.
1. There are are plenty of examples of children being given irreversible pharmaceutical regimens earlier that 12.
2. We know that there have been surgeries on children significantly under 18, again to mutilate a perfectly healthy body.
3. We know that schools and medical personnel have chosen to socially trans kids and to have actively hidden that information from their parents.
4. We that the suicide narrative was false.
5. We know that state medical associations in Europe have stopped child transing because of the evidence.
6. The objections are to allowing the trans medical complex take in billions from children who aren’t legally able to engage in informed consent for unalterable medical procedures.
Look. I get it, you've been indoctrinated by far-right "Christian" nationalist extremist. You believe idiot stuff that you've been told over and against the data and the evidence of actual experts in the actual field. You're grasping at straws and even when any slight criticism from bigoted humans in your religious traditions and bigotries, you'll CLING to it in order to dismiss actual experts and data.
I get it, you are delusional. But hell man, be an adult. Be responsible. Be moral and open your eyes. You are swallowing shit soup and asking for seconds. Get a grip, man.
If you want to talk data and experts, then cite experts and data. When you can't, be adult and man enough to admit that you don't have a single data-based clue.
Coming from someone who hasn’t cited a bit of data this is really quite funny.
Everything I’ve said, I’ve posted about multiple times with multiple sources over the past couple of years. The data you claim to desire is right here on my blog. This new thing you do where you bitch about someone restating things without completely repeating everything that’s been provided previously as if the previous material doesn’t exist is getting old. Especially since you do exactly what you bitch about. You make a claim, based on old information, as if that claim is irrefutable or hasn’t been overtaken by new information, then you act as if referring to previously posted information is somehow irrelevant.
Yet you wonder why people don’t trust you.
I’ve been citing data and experts (unless you consider virtually every health department in Europe as not being expert enough for you) for years here. You just ignore data and experts you don’t like.
Dan called me a "Christian Nationalist," which is something he can't even defined. No one who knows me would call me that. A "Christian Nationalist" (sort of started by the false teachings of the New Apostolic Reformation) is one whose goal is to turn the USA into a Christian nation--a nation run by Christian doctrines. So lying Dan and his name-calling also calls us all fascists, proving he has no understanding of that word. And, ironically, it is the Demokrats/LEFTISTS who behave as fascists: they ban free speech, force acceptance of their perverse ideologies, blame wealthy for economic hardships, ban guns all over the place, demand national healthcare, demand heavily regulated industries, etc, invade churches to try to silence them, hate Jews and persecute them, etc.
CN is the most recent version of “racist, homophobe, sexost”. They’re terms that mean everything, anything, and nothing simultaneously but can be thrown out to stop any conversation in its tracks. It’s one more magic incarnation that the ASPL deploys to avoid losing an argument.
I’m kind of thinking that nationalism and Christianity are incompatible on some level because Christianity transcends nation.
It’s absolutely logical to be Christian and patriotic, and the very words of our founders demonstrate that. Having a governmental system informed by the Christian faith of those in the room, is a far cry from a Christian theocracy.
CN is simply the latest example of using a fringe ideology to scare people for political gain.
Access to "trans hormones" in Europe is set for 20 years old in 20 countries, 18 years old in 5 countries, and 16 in 3 countries.
"https://www.healthline.com/health/transfeminine"
"The current standards typically recommend that estrogen or testosterone-based HRT be started no earlier than 13-14 for transfeminine teens and 14-15 for transmasculine teens. This may or may not occur alongside puberty blockers, depending on the recommendations of your physician."
A leading transgender health association has lowered its recommended minimum age for starting gender transition treatment, including sex hormones and surgeries.
"The World Professional Association for Transgender Health said hormones could be started at age 14, two years earlier than the group’s previous advice, and some surgeries done at age 15 or 17, a year or so earlier than previous guidance. The group acknowledged potential risks but said it is unethical and harmful to withhold early treatment."
So, agreeing with Europe that actions which lead to irreversible changes should not be undertaken until 18 or 20, makes us somehow evil, while advocating for ever lowering the age at which those actions can start makes you somehow good.
Clearly depending upon how it's used...particularly as regards to whom it is applied...its meaning is, as is so often the case with the left, perverted.
As regards Glenn's explanation in reference to the NAR, I don't personally have a problem with it, so long as no force is applied to achieve the goal. I don't see them succeeding without it, so I don't believe success will happen.
As regards myself being both a Christian and patriotic...believing the USA most certain is exceptional and superior to all other nations...to be called a Christian Nationalist with that in mind is also just fine with me.
But Dan wants to pretend it means something nefarious while he promotes the very policies which have been the source of so much human suffering in this nation, if not the entire world. With THAT fact in mind, I see Christian Nationalists, however defined, as those I count as "the good guys". Dan and his ilk are clearly the opposite.
Much like the fact that "fundamentalist" has become a pejorative, it is possible to be a CN in the best sense of the term, yet still be vilified for it. Simply because the ASPL (or Dan) defines the term and does so in such a way as to exclude any possible positive connotation.
It's just one more term which is used as a verbal cudgel in order to "win" arguments.
Dan does latch onto certain "right wing movements" and assume that he can lump everyone into his caricature of what those movements are. As I think I illustrated in the conversation where Dan offered on opinion poll which he claimed defined CN, there was too much room for nuance in the questions to draw hard and fast conclusions.
As Dawkins came to acknowledge when confronted with the Islamisation of the UK, he would much rather live under a "Christian" government than a Muslim government. Yet it would clearly be insane to call him a CN.
Dan is using answers to 5 questions based on an opinion poll to negatively categorize others as his way of ending arguments.
The problem is how CN is defined. Obviously you can define CN in a way to make them "good guys" or to make them evil. Yet, that just circles back to your personal definition, not any objective reality.
If CN means that the US should be operated under the foundational principles of the founders which were significantly influenced by the Christian faith, then I'm all in.
If CN means that the US should become a Christian version of Iran, then I'm out. If for no other reason than Christianity lacks a civil/legal code baked into it's DNA because it (unlike Islam) was never intended to be turned into a system of civil government.
Are there people who are advocating the second option, yes. Would I oppose them in an election, also yes.
I would have drawn this conclusion without you saying it. The US is a great country, and has done many great things, but Christ and His Kingdom is absolutely above any nation.
BTW, I've seen a trend of people pointing out the times that the US or it's leaders have acted atypically for a country and it certainly is interesting. From Washington's resignation to the US choosing not to parlay the power they had at the end of WW2 into conquest, we do have many things to be proud of.
Details about James Talarico, the man the Accusers love to attack and condemn:
* He has a Bachelors of Gov't * He has a Masters in Education from Harvard * He has a SECOND Masters degree in Theological Studies from Austin Presbyterian Seminary (ie, he's not unintelligent, nor is he unfamiliar with theological treatises or the Bible - that he disagrees with conservative humans on their understandings of the Bible doesn't mean that he isn't informed... of course.) * He taught 6th graders for two years (ie, he worked for and with CHILDREN as a teacher, one of the great roles adults can do and which demonstrates their decency and concerns for the next generations) * He moved on to join a non-profit that helped bring technology to low income students (ie, he demonstrated a concern for the poor and marginalized, helping find solutions to empower them to succeed) * He served four terms as a state representative (ie, he demonstrated an affinity for working in gov't and getting things done legislatively) * To that end, he helped pass some laws that would help students who were struggling in school as well as young people struggling in the justice system (Again, demonstrating concern for children and the marginalized - he literally taught the poor, visited those in prison, etc) * He is a critic of "christian" nationalism (Demonstrating an ability, AS an educated, informed Christian, of the problems of perversions of religious beliefs) * He's supported bans on elected officials benefiting from stock trading and worked to stop gerrymandering abuses * He considers healthcare a universal human right * is active in St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Austin, TX (ie, he's an actual church-going Christian) * He's in a committed relationship with his long term girlfriend (ie, there are no reports of sexual assaults, rapes, child abuse or other vulgar behaviors of your president that YOU all voted for)
... in short, he appears to be a decent human being with a young lifetime of service to children, the poor, those in the justice system, etc. That is, a follower of Jesus as defined by Jesus.
For THIS, you all want to call him evil while voting for an actual sexual predator, corrupt conman hedonist.
Regarding your details about James Talarico, the man the wise accurately as heretical both religiously and politically:
*So he should know better *Which didn't bestow upon him a shred of wisdom *And thus he's an abject heretic...your kind of "Christian"! *God have mercy on those children! *On whose dime? There's no detail which affirms this "non-profit" did any good. *And as a Democrat is responsible for the conditions which resulted in low-income students. *Such as...? *Like you, he uses a term to disparage better people while he perverts Scripture like you do. *No details which confirms stock trading by elected officials is always a bad thing, and as a Democrat is responsible for the worst perversions of both trading and redistricting. *To be funded by whom? So he's a marxist, too! *One of the most heretical denominations. Dr. D. James Kennedy is rolling in his grave! *You only mention this in order to contrast him with a guy who's done far more for America. Otherwise it's totally meaningless.
...in short, nothing you've listed mitigates the truths and facts regarding his many shortcomings, heresies and unfitness for political office on a national level (I doubt he's done a damned thing to improve Texas, but was re-elected by Austin lefties, of which there are far too many). It's all superficial, as if saying because one went to school, one can't be a dumbass...because one served, that one served well and actually did anything of beneficial significance. Joe Biden served in gov't for half a century and was worthless. Jesus did NOT define a follower of His as being anything like this creep, but you pretend "he served" is all you need to say to make this turd smell like a rose. It doesn't, and he's no more a Christ follower than you are.
He is evil based on his heretical perversions of Scripture alone. There's nothing wrong with us that fewer of your kind won't benefit.
No. I'm bowing at the altar of what you do for the least of these, my siblings, you do for me. What the hell you DON'T do for the least of these, you don't do for me, your Lord Jesus Christ.
Shame!
Once again by Jesus' standards he is a follower of Jesus. He is tending to and with Jesus and the poor and the marginalized and the least of these. Nonetheless y'all condemn him as evil, much like the Pharisees condemned Jesus as Beelzebub.
Shame on you, hypocrites that ye be.
Again you, Craig, are fine with these perverts and rapist supporters calling Tallarico evil. On the face of it he is a very good and decent Christian man. On the other hand the actual hedonist deviant pervert that you voted for three times, well, he is what he is. And. You. Still. Voted. for. Him.
Your hypocrisy is being exposed by your own self-evident hypocrisy and idiocy. Shame on all of y'all.
For all his "credentials," Talarico says Christianity and Islam are essentially the same thing, and opposing the mutilation of kids is "Christofascism". This is 100% EVIL, and proof he has no idea what Islam or Christianity are really about- he is no more of a Christian than my next-door neighbor's DOG! https://notthebee.com/article/james-talarico-says-islam-and-christianity-are-sort-of-the-same-thing-he-also-says-opposing-trans-ing-kids-is-christofascism
The problem is that he's playing to an audience of Dan-like zombies who uncritically accept that sort of nonsense without paying attention to how absurd it is.
Not by "Jesus' standards", but by your perversion of what His standards are. The boy perverts Scripture to promote marxist and pervert ideology. You haven't provided any info which indicates just what he's done for kids specifically. Many put their face on efforts without actually personally expending efforts so chumps like you think they're actually serving. YOU'RE promoting what HE says about himself is not the least bit credible or worthy of serious consideration.
You're an asshole for continually acting like an anti-Christ in your description of those we support, and by intentional extension, of us. Someone who perverts Scripture to promote and defend the things Talarico and you support are indeed evil people.
But given this guy is as much a turd of a person as you based on his rhetoric alone (I haven't perused his record in detail anymore than you have, you lying scum), I'm justified in regarding him as unworthy of my vote (were I in his state). In the meantime, Trump's record of service as president is outstanding in ways you haven't the integrity and honor to acknowledge, because you embrace hate. A POS like you cannot shame any of us until you accept the shame you heap upon yourself. You won't, because you embrace shameful things.
First of all, doesn't the whole notion of "Jesus standards" just sound like a list of rules?
That Dan limits "Jesus' standards" to only variations on one theme, isn't surprising nor is Dan treating a parable in this way.
If one concludes that ALL of Jesus' commandants represent standards Jesus expects His disciples to follow, then Dan's list is woefully short. Dan has a history of "paraphrasing" or "Dansplaining" Jesus' words so that they conveniently match up with his political and social views.

Yes, it’s so evil to support the medical evidence that making irreversible changes to the bodies of healthy children is a problem.

Dan
When you start to argue against things I’ve never said, and start making shit up while attributing it to me, I check out of your idiocy.
I’m merely pointing out the reality that after years of bitching about Trump, lying about Kavanaugh, y’all are doing exactly what you bitched about.
Again, making shit up and arguing against the shit you made up.
I have listened to the experts and I have seen nothing current that says definitively that transing children is 100% the best outcome for the children.
The evidence was enough for Europe to stop transing children, but you obviously know better.
Dan's experts who we should listen to:
American Medical Association
American Academy of Pediatrics
The Endocrine Society
American Psychiatric Association ...
All left-leaning and the last is nothing but psychobabble.
There is no such thing as a "transgender" and no one should be assisting mentally ill people in their delusions.
The whole anti-LGBTQ-Agenda isn't by radical Christians or Muslims, rather it is by sane people who do not deny biology and are tired of sexual perversion shoved in our faces.
It’s probably time to point out a couple of things here.
1. This post is about Talarico and his focus on how Jesus wants you to trans children, and his anti science crap about genders.
2. The fact that the two national candidates who’ve gotten national attention and unquestioned support for the DFL leadership are Talarico and Plattner who are both fringe nut jobs.
"age-appropriate care for transgender youth"
The appropriate care is to call them to reality and quit helping them in their delusions!!!
Glenn...
"The appropriate care is to call them to reality and quit helping them in their delusions!"
...Says the "Christian nationalist" with zero medical training or psychiatric training, and against the counsel of the AMA and APA and others who are actually experts. Once again, practices in the United States for children under 18 are not for any surgery but for other reversible or undoable supports. This can mean things as simple as:
- wearing clothing that suits them
- styling their hair as it suits them
- choosing a name that suits them
But you all, you fascists, you want to tell them that YOU know best what their names are, not them, not their parents, not the medical experts. Well, to hell with your arrogant presumption and your graceless godless fascism.
Dan
When you say things like this you just look like a brainwashed moron.
1. There are are plenty of examples of children being given irreversible pharmaceutical regimens earlier that 12.
2. We know that there have been surgeries on children significantly under 18, again to mutilate a perfectly healthy body.
3. We know that schools and medical personnel have chosen to socially trans kids and to have actively hidden that information from their parents.
4. We that the suicide narrative was false.
5. We know that state medical associations in Europe have stopped child transing because of the evidence.
6. The objections are to allowing the trans medical complex take in billions from children who aren’t legally able to engage in informed consent for unalterable medical procedures.
He says, without a shred of support.
Look. I get it, you've been indoctrinated by far-right "Christian" nationalist extremist. You believe idiot stuff that you've been told over and against the data and the evidence of actual experts in the actual field. You're grasping at straws and even when any slight criticism from bigoted humans in your religious traditions and bigotries, you'll CLING to it in order to dismiss actual experts and data.
I get it, you are delusional. But hell man, be an adult. Be responsible. Be moral and open your eyes. You are swallowing shit soup and asking for seconds. Get a grip, man.
If you want to talk data and experts, then cite experts and data. When you can't, be adult and man enough to admit that you don't have a single data-based clue.
Dan
Coming from someone who hasn’t cited a bit of data this is really quite funny.
Everything I’ve said, I’ve posted about multiple times with multiple sources over the past couple of years. The data you claim to desire is right here on my blog. This new thing you do where you bitch about someone restating things without completely repeating everything that’s been provided previously as if the previous material doesn’t exist is getting old. Especially since you do exactly what you bitch about. You make a claim, based on old information, as if that claim is irrefutable or hasn’t been overtaken by new information, then you act as if referring to previously posted information is somehow irrelevant.
Yet you wonder why people don’t trust you.
I’ve been citing data and experts (unless you consider virtually every health department in Europe as not being expert enough for you) for years here. You just ignore data and experts you don’t like.
This is Dan in the first step of the liberal playbook.
1. This never happens.
2. It happens, but not very often.
3. It happens often, but it’s a good thing.
Dan called me a "Christian Nationalist," which is something he can't even defined. No one who knows me would call me that.
A "Christian Nationalist" (sort of started by the false teachings of the New Apostolic Reformation) is one whose goal is to turn the USA into a Christian nation--a nation run by Christian doctrines.
So lying Dan and his name-calling also calls us all fascists, proving he has no understanding of that word. And, ironically, it is the Demokrats/LEFTISTS who behave as fascists: they ban free speech, force acceptance of their perverse ideologies, blame wealthy for economic hardships, ban guns all over the place, demand national healthcare, demand heavily regulated industries, etc, invade churches to try to silence them, hate Jews and persecute them, etc.
CN is the most recent version of “racist, homophobe, sexost”. They’re terms that mean everything, anything, and nothing simultaneously but can be thrown out to stop any conversation in its tracks. It’s one more magic incarnation that the ASPL deploys to avoid losing an argument.
I’m kind of thinking that nationalism and Christianity are incompatible on some level because Christianity transcends nation.
It’s absolutely logical to be Christian and patriotic, and the very words of our founders demonstrate that. Having a governmental system informed by the Christian faith of those in the room, is a far cry from a Christian theocracy.
CN is simply the latest example of using a fringe ideology to scare people for political gain.
https://fra.europa.eu/en/publication/2017/mapping-minimum-age-requirements-concerning-rights-child-eu/access-transgender-hormone-therapy
Access to "trans hormones" in Europe is set for 20 years old in 20 countries, 18 years old in 5 countries, and 16 in 3 countries.
"https://www.healthline.com/health/transfeminine"
"The current standards typically recommend that estrogen or testosterone-based HRT be started no earlier than 13-14 for transfeminine teens and 14-15 for transmasculine teens. This may or may not occur alongside puberty blockers, depending on the recommendations of your physician."
https://www.mprnews.org/story/2022/06/15/trans-kids-treatment-can-start-younger-new-guidelines-say
A leading transgender health association has lowered its recommended minimum age for starting gender transition treatment, including sex hormones and surgeries.
"The World Professional Association for Transgender Health said hormones could be started at age 14, two years earlier than the group’s previous advice, and some surgeries done at age 15 or 17, a year or so earlier than previous guidance. The group acknowledged potential risks but said it is unethical and harmful to withhold early treatment."
So, agreeing with Europe that actions which lead to irreversible changes should not be undertaken until 18 or 20, makes us somehow evil, while advocating for ever lowering the age at which those actions can start makes you somehow good.

Clearly depending upon how it's used...particularly as regards to whom it is applied...its meaning is, as is so often the case with the left, perverted.
As regards Glenn's explanation in reference to the NAR, I don't personally have a problem with it, so long as no force is applied to achieve the goal. I don't see them succeeding without it, so I don't believe success will happen.
As regards myself being both a Christian and patriotic...believing the USA most certain is exceptional and superior to all other nations...to be called a Christian Nationalist with that in mind is also just fine with me.
But Dan wants to pretend it means something nefarious while he promotes the very policies which have been the source of so much human suffering in this nation, if not the entire world. With THAT fact in mind, I see Christian Nationalists, however defined, as those I count as "the good guys". Dan and his ilk are clearly the opposite.
Much like the fact that "fundamentalist" has become a pejorative, it is possible to be a CN in the best sense of the term, yet still be vilified for it. Simply because the ASPL (or Dan) defines the term and does so in such a way as to exclude any possible positive connotation.
It's just one more term which is used as a verbal cudgel in order to "win" arguments.
Dan does latch onto certain "right wing movements" and assume that he can lump everyone into his caricature of what those movements are. As I think I illustrated in the conversation where Dan offered on opinion poll which he claimed defined CN, there was too much room for nuance in the questions to draw hard and fast conclusions.
As Dawkins came to acknowledge when confronted with the Islamisation of the UK, he would much rather live under a "Christian" government than a Muslim government. Yet it would clearly be insane to call him a CN.
Dan is using answers to 5 questions based on an opinion poll to negatively categorize others as his way of ending arguments.
The problem is how CN is defined. Obviously you can define CN in a way to make them "good guys" or to make them evil. Yet, that just circles back to your personal definition, not any objective reality.
If CN means that the US should be operated under the foundational principles of the founders which were significantly influenced by the Christian faith, then I'm all in.
If CN means that the US should become a Christian version of Iran, then I'm out. If for no other reason than Christianity lacks a civil/legal code baked into it's DNA because it (unlike Islam) was never intended to be turned into a system of civil government.
Are there people who are advocating the second option, yes. Would I oppose them in an election, also yes.
I just want to clarify. I am as patriotic to my country as it gets, but Christ comes first. That is NOT "Christian Nationalism."
I would have drawn this conclusion without you saying it. The US is a great country, and has done many great things, but Christ and His Kingdom is absolutely above any nation.
BTW, I've seen a trend of people pointing out the times that the US or it's leaders have acted atypically for a country and it certainly is interesting. From Washington's resignation to the US choosing not to parlay the power they had at the end of WW2 into conquest, we do have many things to be proud of.
Details about James Talarico, the man the Accusers love to attack and condemn:
* He has a Bachelors of Gov't
* He has a Masters in Education from Harvard
* He has a SECOND Masters degree in Theological Studies from Austin Presbyterian Seminary
(ie, he's not unintelligent, nor is he unfamiliar with theological treatises or the Bible - that he disagrees with conservative humans on their understandings of the Bible doesn't mean that he isn't informed... of course.)
* He taught 6th graders for two years
(ie, he worked for and with CHILDREN as a teacher, one of the great roles adults can do and which demonstrates their decency and concerns for the next generations)
* He moved on to join a non-profit that helped bring technology to low income students
(ie, he demonstrated a concern for the poor and marginalized, helping find solutions to empower them to succeed)
* He served four terms as a state representative
(ie, he demonstrated an affinity for working in gov't and getting things done legislatively)
* To that end, he helped pass some laws that would help students who were struggling in school as well as young people struggling in the justice system
(Again, demonstrating concern for children and the marginalized - he literally taught the poor, visited those in prison, etc)
* He is a critic of "christian" nationalism
(Demonstrating an ability, AS an educated, informed Christian, of the problems of perversions of religious beliefs)
* He's supported bans on elected officials benefiting from stock trading and worked to stop gerrymandering abuses
* He considers healthcare a universal human right
* is active in St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church in Austin, TX
(ie, he's an actual church-going Christian)
* He's in a committed relationship with his long term girlfriend
(ie, there are no reports of sexual assaults, rapes, child abuse or other vulgar behaviors of your president that YOU all voted for)
... in short, he appears to be a decent human being with a young lifetime of service to children, the poor, those in the justice system, etc. That is, a follower of Jesus as defined by Jesus.
For THIS, you all want to call him evil while voting for an actual sexual predator, corrupt conman hedonist.
What is wrong with you all?
Regarding your details about James Talarico, the man the wise accurately as heretical both religiously and politically:
*So he should know better
*Which didn't bestow upon him a shred of wisdom
*And thus he's an abject heretic...your kind of "Christian"!
*God have mercy on those children!
*On whose dime? There's no detail which affirms this "non-profit" did any good.
*And as a Democrat is responsible for the conditions which resulted in low-income students.
*Such as...?
*Like you, he uses a term to disparage better people while he perverts Scripture like you do.
*No details which confirms stock trading by elected officials is always a bad thing, and as a Democrat is responsible for the worst perversions of both trading and redistricting.
*To be funded by whom? So he's a marxist, too!
*One of the most heretical denominations. Dr. D. James Kennedy is rolling in his grave!
*You only mention this in order to contrast him with a guy who's done far more for America. Otherwise it's totally meaningless.
...in short, nothing you've listed mitigates the truths and facts regarding his many shortcomings, heresies and unfitness for political office on a national level (I doubt he's done a damned thing to improve Texas, but was re-elected by Austin lefties, of which there are far too many). It's all superficial, as if saying because one went to school, one can't be a dumbass...because one served, that one served well and actually did anything of beneficial significance. Joe Biden served in gov't for half a century and was worthless. Jesus did NOT define a follower of His as being anything like this creep, but you pretend "he served" is all you need to say to make this turd smell like a rose. It doesn't, and he's no more a Christ follower than you are.
He is evil based on his heretical perversions of Scripture alone. There's nothing wrong with us that fewer of your kind won't benefit.
Well, bowing at the alter of credentialism I see.
Yet none of that is predictive, let alone a guarantee, of success as a legislator on a national level.
Whooo, hoo, you found someone who agrees with you and you love him,BFD.
Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, and Ben Carson have plenty of credentials, but you’d never support them.
"bowing at the alter of credentialism I see."
No. I'm bowing at the altar of what you do for the least of these, my siblings, you do for me. What the hell you DON'T do for the least of these, you don't do for me, your Lord Jesus Christ.
Shame!
Once again by Jesus' standards he is a follower of Jesus. He is tending to and with Jesus and the poor and the marginalized and the least of these. Nonetheless y'all condemn him as evil, much like the Pharisees condemned Jesus as Beelzebub.
Shame on you, hypocrites that ye be.
Again you, Craig, are fine with these perverts and rapist supporters calling Tallarico evil. On the face of it he is a very good and decent Christian man. On the other hand the actual hedonist deviant pervert that you voted for three times, well, he is what he is. And. You. Still. Voted. for. Him.
Your hypocrisy is being exposed by your own self-evident hypocrisy and idiocy. Shame on all of y'all.
Dan
Yet you basically listed his CV with emphasis on the stuff you personally like.
I’ve never said he was evil, but that doesn’t stop you from acting as if I did.
No more hypocrisy than the DFL leadership and media sychophant class has done for Platner over the last few months. (More on that later)
Again, I haven’t condemned him at all.
Unlike you, I don’t censor you or anyone else. I let all y’all say almost anything you want. It’s about staying mostly consistent.
For all his "credentials," Talarico says Christianity and Islam are essentially the same thing, and opposing the mutilation of kids is "Christofascism". This is 100% EVIL, and proof he has no idea what Islam or Christianity are really about- he is no more of a Christian than my next-door neighbor's DOG!
https://notthebee.com/article/james-talarico-says-islam-and-christianity-are-sort-of-the-same-thing-he-also-says-opposing-trans-ing-kids-is-christofascism
The problem is that he's playing to an audience of Dan-like zombies who uncritically accept that sort of nonsense without paying attention to how absurd it is.
Not by "Jesus' standards", but by your perversion of what His standards are. The boy perverts Scripture to promote marxist and pervert ideology. You haven't provided any info which indicates just what he's done for kids specifically. Many put their face on efforts without actually personally expending efforts so chumps like you think they're actually serving. YOU'RE promoting what HE says about himself is not the least bit credible or worthy of serious consideration.
You're an asshole for continually acting like an anti-Christ in your description of those we support, and by intentional extension, of us. Someone who perverts Scripture to promote and defend the things Talarico and you support are indeed evil people.
But given this guy is as much a turd of a person as you based on his rhetoric alone (I haven't perused his record in detail anymore than you have, you lying scum), I'm justified in regarding him as unworthy of my vote (were I in his state). In the meantime, Trump's record of service as president is outstanding in ways you haven't the integrity and honor to acknowledge, because you embrace hate. A POS like you cannot shame any of us until you accept the shame you heap upon yourself. You won't, because you embrace shameful things.
First of all, doesn't the whole notion of "Jesus standards" just sound like a list of rules?
That Dan limits "Jesus' standards" to only variations on one theme, isn't surprising nor is Dan treating a parable in this way.
If one concludes that ALL of Jesus' commandants represent standards Jesus expects His disciples to follow, then Dan's list is woefully short. Dan has a history of "paraphrasing" or "Dansplaining" Jesus' words so that they conveniently match up with his political and social views.
